August Gilman, the prisoner who
escaped from Marshall farm at Ish-

had been wandering around in the
woods, and Monday returned to his
home entirely exhausted. He was
found in the barn, covered with hay,

he would not have lived many hours,
so weak was he from hunger and
| exposure. Young Gilman lived on
raw potatoes and water while So
journing in the forest. As soon as
the boys father learned of his
whereabouts he informed the police,
who took him into custody. Gilman
is charged with committing many
petty robberies in Ishpeming some
months ago, and he is suspected of
being implicated in the hold-ups
perpetrated in that city recently.
The mayor of Iron Mountain has
again suspended the police force for
neglect of duty. The specials whom
he has had on for the last two months
have resigned because the council
refused to pay them. The old force
refused to stand for suspension
two months ago and continued ito
keep at work. If they should quit
now on the last suspension the city
would be without any police pro-
lection, as the mayor can get no one
to go on as specials, as the council
will not pay them.

OF an agent, Mr.. Kyselka will vir-
tually be agent as well as superin-
tendent of the school, which has an
attendance of over 200, the Indian
population OF the valley being 1000.
The Hoopa Valley is described as
a veritable garden of Eden. 1t is
about four days journey north from
San Francisco, and to reach it re-
quires a trip on the Pacific ocean,
a car ride, and the last forty miles
is made by wagon over picturesque
road. The climate is fine, and the
valley is neither too warm or too
cold for comfort. While it is seem
ingly far removed from the 'com-
forts of civilization, it is still so far
advanced that there is talk Of in
stalling an electric light plant in the
near future.
Since his first, appointment as
teacher in the Indian school at Ft.
Lewis, Col, Mr.. Kyselka has been
steadily advanced, and his friends
anticipate that he will meet with
much success in his new and
responsible field of work. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kyselka will leave Sunday for
for lake trip to L'Anse, in the
upper peninsula, where Mrs.
Kyselkas S parents live. From there
they will go to Duluth, and then on
by easy stages to their new home in
California. -

A Delightful Outing.

The annual picnic given by the
NJ. +. Sunday school was held
Friday at Meadow Brook grove, in
this village, and was one of the
most delightful ones ever held.
The weather was perfect for such
an outing and those having the
affair in charge began early in max
ing.preparations at the grove. The
quantity and quality of the eatables
which the lady members had pre-
pared for the guests was character
istic of these outings, as everything
that delicate or fastidious palate
might crave for was in evidence.
1t is needless to state that justice
was administered by all who
partook.
Although the attendance was not
as large as has been the custom at
these picnics in former years, still
they have not lost any Of the old.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank 'Kyselka, who
have been visiting Mrs. 'Kyselka S
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James H.
Holiday, for the past few days, left
today for Hoopa, California, where
they will reside. They also visited
Mr.. Kyselka's parents at Traverse
City, Mich.
The following is from the Evening
Record, of that city, of the Sth inst:
Frank Kyselka, who with his
wife and son, has been visiting his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. p. Kyselka,
for some time, will leave here the
last of the week for his new field Of
work at the Hoopa Valley Indian
reservation in California.
For the past year Mr.. Kyselka has
been superintendent of the Ft. Bel
knap Indian school in Montana.
This is reservation school, located
on an Indian reservation about
thirteen miles wide by forty miles
long. There are two tribes on it,
in charge of an Indian agent, and
the attendance at the school has
been about l20.
The recent appointment of Mr..
Kyselka to the California school is a
well deserved promotion. The In
dians OF the Hoopa Valley are much
further advanced in civilization than
those Of the Belknap reservation,
and hold individual farms instead Of
owning the land in com mon. In

An Enormous Tonnage Passes
Through the 500 Locks
Yearly.

The ship canal and locks, owned
and operated by the United States
government at the 500, are the
busiest in the world, more vessels
and larger tonnage passing
through them than through the
Suez canal, by aratio Of B to 2.
The canal and locks were built to
avoid the rapids in ST. Mary's river
and to afford passage between
Lake Superior and Lake Huron for
vessels of the largest tonnage. Com
pleted they cost the government
over s., 10000 and are considered
the finest piece of canal engineering
on the great lakes. The five steel
gates used are the largest in the
world, being 55 feet in length and
from 26.6 feet to 43 feet in height.
The length of the locks is 800 feet
between the gates, width 100. feet.
When the water is at d normal
stage, vessels drawing q feet can
pass through in perfect safety. The
walls on each side are 1,10O feet
long and from 43 to As feet high and
are faced with the best quality Of
Kelly Island limestone. The ma
sonry alone cost 81, l,OS5, 469.
The five gates known as the upper
guard, upper lock, intermediate
lock, lower lock and lower guard
gate cost 1908, 600, and are of solid
steel The machinery is divided in
to two distinct plants; operating
and pumping. Twelve engines open
and close the valves by means of
which the water chamber is filed
or emptied, and two hydraulic
pumps, with the pumps, accumula.
tors and piping, complete the lock
operation.
The gate machinery differs from
any other yet in use, representing
combination hosting machinery and
highest hydraulic practice. The
pumping machinery, whose sole
duty is emptying the locks in case
of accident to the gates, is placed in
the basement of the power house,
and consists of three centrifugal
pumps The driving power con-
sists of three Westinghouse engines
of $50 horse power EACH The steam
is furnished by a battery of water
tight boilers, set in steel cases.
The lock chamber can be filled and
emptied in seven minutes. The
water is let in to the lock through
six culverts which run longitudinally
below the lock flook.
The average time for vessel to
make a lockage is forty minutes.
Cost per lock S7S4. Cost per pas
sage, 1874.
The Canadian locks are directly
opposite the American, and were
built after the same model, but do
not do as much business.

LAND PROOFS.
Made Under the Timber and
Stone Act Suspended.

On account of timber land frauds
discovered in Montana and Idaho.
Commissioner Hermann, of the gen
eral land office, has suspended all
proofs made during the present
year under 'the timber and stone
act, (" pending the conclusion of the
full investigation and inquiry begun
some months ago.
This action applies to all stations
where government timber land is
purchased and involves thousands
OF cases.
Many of the large companies and
spectators, who it is alleged, have
had dummies" as agents, make
purchases Of these lands from the
government, as in Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota.
Commissioner Hermann said:
Owing to the act of congress per-
mitting selections of valuable lands
as indemnity for lands held by in
dividuals and corporations within
timber reservations, speculation
in so-called forest reserve scrip has
developed. This is the means by
which the owner of such lands with
in forest reserves may relinquish
them to the government and in lieu
thereof take valuable lands out Of
the unappropriated public domain
or may convey his holdings to
another person, he TO exercise the
right of selection. "
This practice has been reduced
to science among spectators and
companies in the requirement of
large tracts of timber lands. This
has induced many others who are
not owners of such scrip or ex-
changeable lands inside forest
reserves to avail themselves of an
earlier act of congress approved
June 13, 1898, ''the timber and
stone act. /"
"This act limits each purchaser to
l60 acres and expressly requires APP
plicants to swear that the purchase
is not speculative, but is made in
good faith for his own exclusive use
and that he has made mo agreement
whatsoever with any persons for
transfer of his title. F"
For many years, particularly the
past year, this law has been grossly
violated and abused by persons who
periure themselves before the local
land officers. The general land Of
flee has directed its special agents
to report on any further cases that
may be discovered and all land Of
fees have been warned to exercise
the utmost strictness in the ex-
animation of parties and witnesses.
Many of the fraudulent proofs
made might have been detected at
the time had the registrars at the
local land offices strictly applied the
rules for proof of sincerity of APP
plicants.
For such proofs, however, there
has been a growing irregularity.
1t is impossible for the authorities
to determine fraud.
