The increase In land values. for which
the past two years in the mort Invest have
been SO remarkable, has had a direct ef-
feet upon the volume of northwest trade.
This has enabled merchants in north

lines, and buy larger stocks, If he has the
right kind of a consuming public to

such an extent that the borrowing power

the opinion that ''beefsteak will be
cheaper in the near future if cattle
grazing on the cut-over pine lands
OF the northwest can be carried on
as successfully as experiments in the
vicinity of Marinette and Menominee
have resulted. There is room for
thousands of cattle in Michigan and
Wisconsin, on lands which are lying
idle" To which we can add that
the best market in the world is in
the great mining regions of Michi-
gan, next door to the cut-over lands
referred, aud If anyone can stand a
cut in the present price OF beef il is

AT q Republican caucus held 10
Houghton Wednesday evening,
Sheldon delegates were chosen TO
attend the county convention to
be held Wednesday Of next week.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
Houghton county will stand for the
denomination of Mr. Sheldon, and
thus add TO his forces twenty-five
more delegates. The fight in
Baraga county will be hot one; but
it is safe to predict that Dir.
Sheldon will be the victor.
