Josiah FIynt and Municipal Re-
form.

In the opinion of an astute cores
pondent of McClure's Magazine, Josiah
Flynt's articles have done more for the
improvement of municipal government
than has been done by any or perhaI 8
all other movements in that direction. >"
Such being the case the citizens of Bos-
ton, particularly those of the Back Bay,
should welcome Mr.. Flynt's article in the
June number, "Boston-A Plain-C Clothes
Mans Town. in which Boston Com
mon Shiny" a hobo, discourses as fol-
lows:
'"'Theres Back Bay in ev'ry town,
amt there? Sometimes it's like Fifth
Av'noo uptown in York an keeps its
mouth shut, an sometimes it amt This
Back Bay here in Boston don't shout
such - of lot, but it shouts just
enough to keen the mayor, the chief, an
the other guys a-listenin' see? The
town'll never he absolutely shut-dead
shut, I mean-even if the Back Bay
screamed itself hoarse. You can't tell
600, 900 men an women to be good an
think they're gon' to jus cause you say
so. All that the Back Bays shoutin'
really does here is to keep the graft from
-gettin too bad, rotten bad"

Following this program was an ad-
dress by State Superintendent Nelson'
which was excellent, but its effect was
spoiled by his uncalled-for insult OF
colored woman with tired baby. The
baby made but little disturbance, but
Prot. Nelson stopped and pointed his
finger at the disturber-continued TO
point until tho mother left the hall with
her baby. Then he continued. We have
heard several persons say that, after the
baby episode, they heard no more OF the
address. Still, it was full of good advice
to the graduates-aduice that might be
taken by older people with good effect.
Superintendent Nelson presented the
diplomas, and the program closed with
the singing of the class song.

The Saginaw Location.

Since the closure Of the Sagi.
nav mine many years ago after
a great record accomplished by
its operator, Capt. Samuel
Mitchell. there have been sever.
al attempts TO find ore such as
used to be mined there, a hard,
close grained red specular, of
excellent quality, but failure has
followed each attempt. There
is a lean hematite formation ex-
tending throughout the property
and something in its exploiting
has been done at various times,
but thus far it has not revealed
anything of real value, although
it is thought by many that at
some point ore or better ground
may be found. Of late Capt.
Peter Ramquist, we'll known in
mining circles. and recently
manager Of the old Colby mine,
Gogebic range, has been giving
attention to the old Saginaw 10.
cation. and has an idea that he
may be able to locate something
OF commercial value thereon.
He has obtained an option from
James Farm for the exploring
of his farm, consisting of 160
acres. and will soon start q dia-
mond drill in the sinking of sew
eral deep holes crossing the for.
nation. This work will be
watched with no little interest
by those who are associated
directly and indirectly in sur
rounding lands and in the min.
eral welfare Of this section.
Mr.. RamQnist has several prom
inent mining men associated
with him IN the venture. end We
wish him abundant success. =
