The Baraga County Republican,
successor to the Baraga Review,
has followed it's predecessors to the
grave, after an existence of only
nineteen weeks, thus making the
seventh unsuccessful attempt to
establish and maintain a second
paper in the county.
The SENTINEL has stood the test
for twenty years, and its large
circulation demonstrates that it is
a welcome visitor each week in
nearly every English-speaking home
in the county, and by. fair and
courteous treatment will SO coa-
tinue. Hence we have no fear of
the next gent who may desire to
take turn at the wheel.

FISH NETS CONDEMNED.
Chicago Fish Company is Up
Against the Michigan Game
Warden.

L
of nets belonging to Pentecost Bros,
the Chicago fish and game concern,
were condemned at Eagle River, in
Keweenaw county, Tuesday, on the
orders of Assistant Game Warden
Brewster, who came from the Ian
sing Office to make an investigation
into the charges preferred by the
Keweenaw county deputy against
the firm. The nets which were
seized were all about 33-inch mesh
and not allowed for trout fishing,
which was what Pentecost Bros.
were using them for. However, this
size mesh is allowed for certain fish
and the Lansing Office may decide to
sell the nets and get what money it
can out of them. If the mesh was
so small that it would not be allow
able for any kind of fish they would
be burned. -
1t was reported a short time ago
that the sawmill at Sidnaw operated
by G. A. Berglund was soon to be
removed to Lake Gogebic, where the
owner has a lot OF standing timber
which he intends cutting within the
next few years. 1t is said that Mr..
Berglund has changed his mind
about the removal of the mill and
that the plant is to remain there. 1t
appears that the owner OF the mill
has made such satisfactory con-
tract with the South Shore railway
management for hauling the timber
from Lake Gogebic to Sidnaw that
he concluded it would be just as
cheap in the end to operate the mill
where it stands. The people of the
town are very much lpleased over
Mr.. Berglund's decision to continue
operations there. with the mill
gone a goodsized force of men would
be thrown out of employment and
compelled to remove their families
to some other place. Mining Jour

At the Portage Entry Quarries
companys quarry, Jacobsville, forty
men are still employed. During the

shipped 5000 cubic feet of rubble
stone, 100000 cubic feet of block
stone and 35, 900 cubic feet of sawed
stone. The rubble and sawed stone
were supplied to the local trade and
the block stone was sold to Chicago
and Buffalo parties. The quarry
will not close down until the
twentieth of November. The work
at the quarry for the coming winter
has not been decided upon, but it is
thought that the present force OF
men will be kept employed. Hough-

Gov. Pingrec Issues Proclama-
tiOn OIL the Constitutional Tax
alton Amendments.
THE DUTY OF INSPECTORS
The Governor Calls Attention to
Their Importance and Urges
that a full Vote be POlled.

Gov. Pingree has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation
To the People of the State of Michigan:
On November 9th, there will be
handed to all voters, by the election
inspectors, two ballots. One of
these ballots will contain the names
of party candidates for presidential
electors, governor, state and local
officers. The other ballot is to be
used in voting upon amendments to
the constitution of this state relative
to taxation of corporations. These
amendments are submitted to you
by the action of the legislature
which met in special session on
October 10th.
desire to call your attention to
these constitutional amendments,
and to urge the Importance of your
voting upon them. If adopted they
will change the constitution so that
the legislature may provide for the
assessment and taxation of the
property of corporations at it's true
cash value, thus bringing about
equal taxation.
Under present provisions of the
constitution, it is impossible to
frame a practical law for the taxa
tion upon cash value of the property
of certain corporations now paying
specific taxes upon earnings. Among
these corporations are railroad, tel
egraph, telephone and express COM
panies. All other corporations and
persons now pay taxes based upon
the cash value of their property.
These amendments, if adopted by
you will make it possible to tax all
alike. In other words they are
equal taxation amendments.
Under the joint resolution SUBJ
mitting these amendments to you
at the coming election it is: First,
the duty of the election inspectors
to furnish each voter with copy of
the constitutional amendment ballot,
and to inform him of the nature and
purpose of the amendment; second,
the duty of each voter to hand the
ballot, after he has voted on it, TO
the election inspector; third, the
duty of the inspector to place the
ballot in the box.
There can be nothing more i'm
portant than a full expression by
the people upon proposition to
change the fundamental law of the
state.
l therefore urge upon the people
of the state the necessity of voting
at the coming general election upon
the constitutional amendment rela-
tive to the taxation OF corporations.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state of Michigan,
at the Capitol in Lansing, this 9th
day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred,
and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty fifth.
