PLANS UPSET.
Rev. j. M. Shank's Efforts to
Raise Money tor Church
Repairs.

Repairs.
Last Saturday MIR. S. H. Vaughan,
commercial agent of the c., M. & St.
p. railway came to L'Anse from
Houghton to call upon Rev. John M.
Shank and learn his plans for mid
winter excursion for the Lake Su-
perior country to New Orleans.
Mr.. Vaughan accepted MI. Shank g
propositions, which were: Free
transportation in the upper PENN
sula over the St. Paul and D., s. S.
& A. roads to work up the excur-
sion, Mr.. Shank also to be furnished
free transportation south, the G..
M. & St. p. to furnish all
advertising matter, and a CON-
mission on all tickets sold. The
proceeds Mr.. Shank intended to put
into repairs upon the church here,
which it sadly needs. Mr.. Vaughan
secured the cooperation of General
Passenger Agent Hibbard, OF the
South Shore, who forwarded trans
portation over that road to Mr..
Shank. Mr.. Vaughan also instructed
the reverend gentleman to have
cards printed authorizing the latter
as a special representative OF the
above roads.
Wednesday morning word came
from Mr.. Vaughan that the officials
at Chicago OF the st. Paul road
thought, there was too little time
remaining to work up the affair,
the excursion being scheduled to
leave on Feb. 9th. So it is of.
Had there been six weeks time to
advertise the affair Mr.. Shank was
hopeful of realizing a neat sum for
the church.

VERY LARGELY ATTENDED,.
Plainly Showing the High Esteem
In Which Deceased

The funeral OF Anthony Girard,
who passed away at his home
in Baraga Friday last, was held
from St. AIMS church, in that
village, Monday morning at 10
o'clock. 1t was the largest funeral
ever held in that town. The church
was taxed to its utmost capacity,
but fully two thirds of the people
who had assembled to. pay final
tribute of respect to the departed
were unable to gain entrance
and listen to the impressive service.
Long before the hour designated
for the commencement of the last
sad rites, throngs Of people who
had not previously availed them
selves of an opportunity, gathered
at the residence to take one final
look at him, who in life was a
staunch friend and benefactor to
one and all, and who was beloved
and regarded in the highest esteem
by all who had known him.
At 10 o'clock the remains were
taken to the church, where
solemn requiem high mass was said
by Rev. FIR. Faust, of Assinins,
assisted by Rev. Fr. Weist, of
Houghton, aud Rev. FIR. Heynn, of
L'Anse. The casket rested amid
a profusion of beautiful flowers,
the contributions of relatives and
friends. Among the floral offerings
was large cross. from the mem
bers of the village council; large
bouquet of Gala lilies from the

Only Three Reservations Re-
naming in tho State, EAnse
Being tho Largest.
THEY HAVE LITTLE LAND.
Legislation Proposed whereby
All Indian Reservations In tho
Country May be Opened,


whereby all the Indian reservation
lands in all states and territories
may be opened to settlers is not like
ly to cause q noticeable rush to
Michigan, according to the officials
of the Indian bureau at Washing
ton. There remain but 8,317 acres
of Indian lands in the state, COM
prising three reservations. Forty
years ago the same reservations
comprised LAT, ,304 acres.
The Indian agent for Michigan, or
the Mackinac agency, as it is termed,
is located at L'Anse, the present in
cumbent OF the Office being DR.. J. O.
Zellen. The salary connected with
the Office is but $500 per anuum, the
agent to pay all expenses. DR..
Zellen states that as far as he is con-
cerned he would be better pleased il
the bill opening up all reservations
to settlers would become law, as
the salary Of the Office is so small
and the territory SO extensive that
after the expenses are paid there is
little remuneration. II the reser-
vations were opened up, and the In
dians thrown upon their own re-
sources, where they would be OBJ
liged to pay for their own medicine
and physicians attendance, he says,
there would be something in it.
The following particulars anept
the Michigan reservation were con-
tained in a dispatch from Washing
ton recently published in Detroit
paper:
"The largest Of the three reser-
vations is near L'Anse in the Lake
Superior district. 1t amounts to
eight and three-fourths square miles
approximately, or 5,266 acres. The
500 Indians or thereabouts living on
it belong to the L'Anse and Vieux
Desert bands OF the Chippewas.
They have attained considerable
degree of civilization. A good many
OF them cultivate small farms and
live in. comfortable frame houses,
and all of them work more or less
fer lumber operators either in the
woods or in mills. In fact as whole
they are Industrious. There is
some valuable timber on the reser-
walton, although the Indians have
cut and sold considerable Of it. None
of the reservation is on the mineral
range and none of the reservation is
particularly attractive for white
settlers.
''The Ontonagon reservation near
the L 'Anse Indians, contains only
67S acres. The Indians are the On
tonagon band OF the Chippewas
OF Lake Superior. The land is
about the same as the L'Anse reser-
walton, and the Indians also.
"The Isabella reservation, on
which the Mt. Pleasant Indian
school is located, contains 1873
acres, or about three and three
fourths square miles. When the res
ervation was created in 1854 it con-
atined 96,2l3 acres. The Indians
living on it are the Chippewas, OF
Saginaw, Swan Greek and Black
River. The 2,373 acres are fertile
farming lands. OF course, il the
school on the reservation should be
abolished, some, at least, OF the res
ervation would be put on the mar
ket. However, plans to open up
this and all other reservations for
settlers have not developed suf-
ficiently to warrant even q guess as
to what congress will do about the
natter" ~

near the landing his boots made a
noise ON the stairs. \ female voice

seems too much like home
