1t has been practically demonstrated
that the pine stump lands IN northern
Michigan were of more value than sup
posed by the majority of people, and
during the past few years considerable
of this property has been secured by in
vestors who have obtained valuable
tracts by the mere payment of back
taxes. Thousands of acres have been
reclaimed from the state during the past
few years and many more thousands Of
acres are being bought up by those
who see chance to develop the lands
and build up ranches.
AS an illustration Of what is being
done in this direction, we cite the fact
that +. W. Hooper, of Alma, together
with his attorney, John Quinn, of Har-
rison, recently went TO Lansing and
incidentally while there deposited s., 200
with the attorney general for the pay
ment of back taxes upon 3,100 acres Of
land in Franklin township, Glare
county. Mr.. Hooper's intention is TO
develop the property and establish a
sheep ranch.

VIII Send "A Trial Course of His New and
Remarkable Treatment Free.
When an experienced physician offers
to give away 1915 treatments for dis.
eases Of the heart, nerves, stomach, kid.
neys or dropsey, it is conclusive evidence
that he has great faith in it. And when
hundreds of prominent men and women
freely testify to his unusual skill and
superiority of his New Special Treat
ments his liberality is certainly worthy
of serious consideration.
That Franklin Miles, M. d., LII. b., is
one of the worlds most successful ply.
sicians is proven by hundreds of won
derful cures of well-known people. One
patient cured after failure of eleven
Grand Rapids physicians, one after be.
ing given up by thirty physicians, one
after nine of the leading doctors in New
York City, Philadelphia and Chicago
failed.
The late Prof. ]. S. Newell NJ D. editor OF
the Journal OF Mental and Nervous Diseases,
said: by all means publish your surprising re.
suits" Prof. j. y. Ross. NJ. d.. Ex.President OF

"CALIFORNIA."

The famous Modesto and Turlock
Irrigation Districts which comprise
about 100000 acres in the central
part of California, have just CON-
pleted their irrigation systems. This
land which has been used exclusive
~ for grain purpose for the last
years. Since the advent of water
is capable of producing anything
that can be grown in California, and
people from other parts of California
are selling their homes and locating
there. The river from which they
get their water is navigable six
months out of the year, an this rich
soil with the abundance of water,
certainly affords an excellent invest
ment for homeseekers.
Anyone desiring information
descriptive of that locality can get
the same by addressing A. B. Shoe
make, Modesto Cal.''
Very respectfully

The Governors Reply,

When Curtin was Governor of
Pennsylvania he had fight with the
Senate. At the close OF the session
the usual committee was appointed to
wait on the Governor and inform him
of the impending adjournment. It
happened that the chairman of that
committee had an impeachment in his
speech. This is the verbal report he
made on returning from the executive
mansion: "Mr. President, your
c-c-committee appointed to wait on
the G-G-GGovernor and inform him Of
the impending end of this s-s-s-session
has performed that Office and the
G-G-G-Governor said he didn't care q
