Whereas, said blank, while pur-
porting to be issued under the
authority of sections 1922 Of tho
general tax law, does not conform
to the wording of said sections
either as to contents of same or
form of oath; therefore,
Resolved, that the attorney
general is hereby requested to fur
nish written opinion for the
senate whether any citizen can
under the provisions of sections 18
and ID OF the general tax law be
compelled to fill out said blank No.
8, or take the oath in the forms at
tached thereto, and also whether
any state authority has any legal
right to prescribe any other or diff
ferent way than that provided in
section 10 of this general lax law. I"
Senator Helme explained that
there are 54 questions in the blank,
which are many more than are
authorized by law, and some of them
Of such a nature that they ought

resolution was carried without
division.

Way to Force Plants to Branch.

There is only one way in which a
plant can be forced to branch, and
that is by cutting off the stalk. The
plant thus interfered with will
make an effort to grow, and either a
new shoot will be sent up to take
the place of the lost top, or several
shoots will be sent out along the
stalk. Ii but one starts cut it back.
Keep up this cutting-back process
until you have Obliged as many
branches as you think are needed.
Persistency and patience will obllge
the plant to do as you would like to
have it do.-April Ladies Home
Journal.

A Social Time.

Instead of the regular business
meeting Of the Lady Maccabees at
their lodge rooms last Monday even
ing, the regular program was dis
pensed with and one of social
nature enjoyed. To assist in the
good time, the ladies invited their
gentleman friends to join them.
There were literary and musical
selections on the program, after
which refreshments were served.
Following this several dances we're
also enjoyed. A delightful time was
had by the many who were present.

The state military board at Lam

William Wickert was surprised at
Escanaba a few days ago to find two
dogs playing with an object which
investigation showed to be IA human
skull. Mr. Wickert picked up the
uncanny relic and turned it over to
the chief of police. There was much
debate as to how it came on the pub
lie street until Dr.. Harry Long,
claimed its ownership. He had OBJ
tanned it in Chicago and it had been
in his possession for many months.
He was unable to explain how it got
onto the streets as he last knew of

Stiles was soon in hot pursuit and
shortly he had the assistance of
Sheriff Murphy. The fleeing pris-
oners put up fine dash. 1t was in
the nature of an obstacle race and
they took barrels, barb wire and
high board fences, bitches and cross
lots in a manner which made the
limbs of the law decidedly weary.
However, the isheriffs persisted and
their reward was forthcoming in
the capture of both men after a
couple OF miles had been covered.

AT TRAP ROCK QUARRIEs.
Hebard & Son will Push Work
the Coming Summer.


The coming season will be very
active one at the old Trap Rock
quarries, which are situated north
east OF Lake Linden and are now
under the control of Charles Hebard
d Son, who expect to rush the de-
velopment work on the property to
such an extent that by next year
the quarries will be in shape to
place on the market large quantities
of redstone, according to the Hough-
ton Gazette.
J. W. Wyckoff, formerly superin-
tendent of the Jacobs Redstone
quarries at Portage Entry, has full
charge of the development work,
and will Cbe superintendent when
active operations commence, which
will be in the early part Of next
month, when Mr.. Hebard will per-
feet arrangements.
As regards the quality and guam
tity of the stone from the Trap
Rock quarry, Mr.. Wyckoff said:
"The product of our quarry at the
Trap Rock is similar to that of the
Portage Entry, and is equal to the
best. 1t has already been sold on
the New York market for some of
the largest buildings in that city
and was highly recommended by the
builders and, mark you, their word
is worth great deal, as New York
is considered as being the most
skeptcal OF any city in the country
as to building material The stone
is beautiful red sandstone and be-
sides being substantial will beautify
any structure in which it may be
used. We can transport the pro-
duct cheaply as we are but few
miles from the shores of Lake Su-
perior where we have erected a
dock where vessels can be loaded.
We have every assurance of receiv-
ing more orders than we can fill and
the industry is bound to be a'thriv-
ing one, as the quantity of stone is
almost unlimited and many, many
years of extensive operations will
be required before it is exhausted. F"
A good roadbed has been buf1t bel
tween the quarry and the Mohawk
mine location and as soon as nayiga-,
tion opens the rails for railroad,
will be received at the quarrydocks'
and the work of constructing the
railway will commence at once. At
the Mohawk connections will be
made with the Hancock & Calumet
railroad and this will afford very
convenient facilities for supplying
the local trade.
Material for the foundations for
the Mohawk and Wolverine mills,
which will be located between the
Tobacco and Traverse rivers, is now
being furnished by the Trap Rock
quarry and many orders are in from
other local concerns which intend
doing extensive building this sum
mer.
Under the direction Of Hebard &
Son the Trap Rock quarry will
without doubt develop into quite an
extensive and successful industry
and Lake Linden, as well as other
nearby towns, will be benefited
very materially by it.

The fifth days session Of the Presbyterian

to consideration Of the section in the pro-

A statement issued by the committee
says: The committee is making progress,
but 1t Is evident that in discussing the
great questions before it progress must be
slow, and nothing final can be arrived at
Tor a week or more. When such themes as
God and the Trinity. revelation and crea-
ton, the divine decree and the fall Of man
are under consideration. and statements
that will be satisfactory to the church are
to be prepared, 1t Is obvious that both care
and time must be required. It can be said
that throughout the discussions have been
more harmonious and the committee is ami
mated by the one purpose of preparing a
form that will be at once true and salts
