FACTORIES IN MICHIGAN.
Canvass Shows u Gain of I ,OO5
i'm Last Four Years.

Michigan S record of new factories
during the last four years, as shown
by canvass just made by state Of
ficials at Lansing, is 1,005, not one
OF which was in existence prior to
Jan. l, 1897. At the time of the
canvass these institutions were en-
ploying a total OF %, 900 persons and
their pay rolls aggregated $33, 600
day, or approximately 81, 800, 900
year.
These new institutions are scat
tered all over the state, every coun-
ty being represented in the enumer-
alton. The most extensive among
them are the nine beet sugar fact
ories and the several cement fact
ories that are being operated. One
OF the results of the increased
revenues of employment is the
great difficulty that is now being ex-
perienced by lum ber operators in Sc
curing men for work in their camps,
even though the wages offered are
nearly ~ per cent higher than four
years ago.

The Most Enthusiastic Rally
Held in This County During
the Campaign.

Seldom has the Opera House con-
tanned larger assemblage of peo-
pie than that which greeted Hon.
Chase S. Osborn Thursday evening,
and it isNsafe to say that the meet
ing was the most enthusiastic of
any held in the county during the
campaign. Before the meeting
opened several musical selections
were rendered by the NJ. f. Mission
band and shortly after 8 O'Clock
the speaker was introduced by Maj.
w. X. Haviland, -of Pequaming. Z.
Mr.. Osborn, who is known through
out the state as one of the most
able and pleasing speakers, held
the closest attention of the
audience for over an hour by his
clear-cut ideas and convincing
arguments. and surely no Democrat
present land there were many of
them) can accuse him of partisan
abuse or venom in any portion OF
his remarks.
We regret that time does not
permit US to give full resume of
Mr.. Osborn S address, but suffice to
say it was excellent and convincing.
and at the close the speaker was
accorded three rorsing cheers.
Mr.. Osborn left Friday morning
for Munising, where he addressed n
