MAP OF UPPER PENINSULA.
Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company
Soon to Issue One of
Much Value.

Within about month the Cleve-'
land Cliffs Iron company will have
published new map of the upper
peninsula covering all the territory
between Newberry and. L'Anse.
Representatives of the company
have spent considerable time in To-
eating all highways in the territory
covered by the map and these are
plainly shown. This will be one of
the most valuable features of the
map. The boundry lines of each
township are also shown. The large
real estate holdings of the company
are colored in green and in looking
at this one can get some conception
of the interests which the company
has in the north central por-
tion of this peninsula. The
map also shows very prominent
ly the lines of the Munising railway
the Marquette & Southeastern rail
way and the Lake Superior & Ish-
peming railway, the lines owned by
the Cleveland Cliffs company. Pro-
jected extensions of the Munising
and the Lake Superior Il Ishpeming
railways are also Indicated One
very important point which the
officers of the company are aiming
at in preparing the map is absolute
accuracy, and when it is given to
the public one month hence it can
be relied upon in every particular.
An opinion in the celebrated iron
case, in the Marquette circuit court,
involving several hundred thousand
dollars, was handed down Saturday
by Judge Stone. 1t sustains the
| contention OF complainants and
grants perpetual injunction. Ed
ward Breitung and the Negaunee
Iron Co. brought suit to RESTRAIN
| the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. from
mining ore on lands at Negaunee,
owned by complainants, the de-
PENDANTS setting up the claim OF the
right to do SO under lease granted
in 1851 for ninety-nine years, to the
Pioneer Iron Co., and whose in
terests the Cleveland Cliffs Co. had
acquired. 1t is held by the Judge
that when the Pioneer company
went out of existence, it's lease ex-
pired, and that operations under it's
terms is trespass, accordingly the
temporary restraining order is made
permanent.

arch has for years been viewed with
interest by the townspeople as well
as visitors, and the fact that it has
been washed away will cause a feel.

A meeting of the commercial men
of the upper peninsula was held

was organized in this part of the

Absent From the Menu.

( A stranger in New York asked for
backbone in restaurant the other day.
and was informed that the article was
not known in any first-class restaurant
in the town. Maybe that is so.
Backbone is a winter dellcacy in the
South. Any Southerner will tell you that
backbone is hog meat. It is not all meat,
of the hog indicated by the name.
The meat is tender, provided the hog
has not been permitted to outlive all the
other hogs on the plantation. Running
through the links which compose the
bone is a filling of marrow. To the Gull.
tiVated taste of SOutherner this mar,
row is the most delicate substance Of the
porker.
1t is the sauce Of the hog 1t gives the
meat of the backbone a flavor which
makes backbone delicacy in the South
In ante-bellum days in that part of the
country, when every planter put up his
own hog meat fer the winter, the back
bone was always taken out in its en-
tirety when the hog was killed and salt
ed down.. When taken out and properly
cooked-there is only one way to cook
a highly esteemed dish on the Southern
gentleman's table.
Like all meats served in the South. it
was brought on hot OF course, there
was pone cornbread, hot from the oven.
An invitation to such dinner caused the
mouth of the invited guest to water
more than the memory of the best ap-5
plejack that every gurgled past the
palate. lE4
Perhaps it is as well that no New York
caterer should every try to Introduce

Dates for Convention of Nationa.
Associations Of Manufacturers.
President Theodore c.. Search, Of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
announces that the executive committee
has selected the dates of June 4, 5 and 6
for the holding of the sixth annual con-
vention Of the association, which will
meet in Detroit. These dates, which are
somewhat later than the usual time Of
holding the annual convention, were
chosen in order to secure the advantages
of more favorable season in Detroit
than would be found in January, during
which month the conventions have usu-
ally been held heretofore.
These dates were chosen after consul
tation with the citizens of Detroit, who
have manifested great deal Of interest
in the coming convention, and who pro-,
pose to make it one Of the most notable
gatherings that has ever been seen in
that city. Mr. George H. Barbour, of
Detroit, the Michigan vice president of
the association, is in general charge of
the arrangements in Detroit.
The opening of the Pan-Amercan ex-
position at Buffalo, few weeks prior.
to the dates fixed for the convention,
will enable manufacturers to arrange for
trip which will take in both points
of interest. It is expected that arrange

attendance at the convention. ~
The detailed arrangements, which have
been held in suspense pending the de-
cision Of the executive committee as to
the date, will now proceed actively.
The number of inquiries received from
those who desire to attend the conven-
ton and wish to know when it is to be
held, indicates an unusual interest IN
