A preacher not more than a thou
sand miles from Saranac is just now

called but few are chosen" and now
the bereaved widow will not recog-

One of the winter industries of the
Upper Peninsula is the cutting and
shipping of Christmas trees. Charles
Freckelton, of Iron Mountain, who is
engaged in the business has just es-
tabished his camp near Floodwood
He will cut $4,000 trees this winter,
all to be shipped to Chicago. The
trees are sold from the cars to the
wholesale dealers. Christmas trees
are cut from three to thirty feet in
length, and they are all of spruce or
balsam. This year the crop will be
double that of former years.
Those people who watch the skies
after midnight on November IA aud
ID may be rewarded by the spectacle
of a meteoric shower. Some astrono-
mers believe that the stream of me-
teors called the Leonids has period
of "a years instead of 33 These me-
teors were observed in 1888 so numer
nm h,irr ha hn hn,
groes thought the day of judgment
had come. Again in 1867 they were
seen numerous and bright. especially
by European observers. Now if the
34-year period is the correct one, they
are due this year in November, and
this is somewhat the more probably,
as they failed to appear last year.
Those interested will do well to watch
for them on the nights of the 14th and
18th.
The Muir Tribune says: "Belding
cannot be depended upon for a good
big republican majority every cleo
tion unless the Republicans of that
section are given proper recognition.
There's more truth than poetry in
that warning. Belding is the banner
republican locality in the county, but
if Belding republicans have not here
tofore Jared as well as they might at
Republican county conventions they
have been largely to blame them
selves. Let them get together, pre-
sent solid front in convention, and
the Tribune believes they will have
no reason to complain of results"
We don't think the Tribune editor
has good memory. We have no
recollection of any time the republi-
cans of Belding failed to stick to-
gether and to stand solid by any local
candidate, but we have a distinct
recollection of having been turned
down.
