Gen. Alger Scores Burrows.

Detroit, Mich, May 25.-Gen. Alger
has disposed of the remaining tract,
of his 10S square miles of timber lands
on the north shore of Lake Huron.
His reason for selling is that the Can
adian prohibition Of the expectation
of logs and the 81 tariff on lumber
made it impossible for him to make
any money. He criticised Senator
Burrows for voting for the 81 tax on
lumber and says that upon him rests
the responsibility for closing all the
mills on the east shore of Michigan.
He says that Burrows vote on that
measure inflicted greater injury up
on Michigan than he can repair in a

OF the fact that it is difficult to find a
