Genesee county Judge Wisner held til
above to be lawful. a
An interesting decision has just bed
handed down by the United Stat
supreme court and one in which t
people of Michigan, like those in 9th
states. are vitality interested. The OIL
ION was given in an appeal case froa
the supreme court of North Carolina,
m which it is held that an ordinance
passed by the city council of Green's
boro. in North Carolina, imposing a
hcense fee upon agents of foreign COR
porations doing business in that city
was violation of the interstate COM
merce clause of the constitution and
hence void. The supreme court of
North Carolina had upheld the ordi-
nance on the ground that it was a
proper exercise of police power of the
state, but inasmuch as its effect was to
interfere with and restrict interstate
cWnmerce it was obviously in conflict
with the federal constitution. 1t is said
That large number of ordinances en-
acted by city and village councils all
over the United States to impose license
ices upon agents for outside business
concerns come in conflict with the con-
stitntion and if fought out in the courts
she result would be the same as in the
1850 just passed upon.-Saginaw Cour

coNcERNINe PEAT As FUEL.
Biz Marsh In o. Clair County 10 be
Mined for it.

A rude awakening may be in store for
the coal barons, who think to corner the
visible fuel supply Of the country. In
st. Clair county an industry is building,
backed by $500, 900 capital. and the in
ventive genius of Prof. Cooley, which is
expected to deal an effective blow to
Michigan coal prices Within two
months the American Peat Fuel Co. of
this Capac will be delivering for general
consumption new fuel OF supposed
greater heat value than coal, for price
not higher than "a ton.
The immence resources of the great
Capac marsh are being tapped by
shrewd capitalists, whose machinery
will soon be turning the vegetable de-
posit into briquettes that will glow in
the stoves and furnaces of the state
to the tune of 10000 tons year. The
investors have spent quarter of a mil
lion in their new plant, three miles
west of here, on the Grand Trunk rail
road, and point to the outlay in substan
tiation of the claim that the bricks of
compressed peat, smooth, golden brown
cylinders, practically dustless, smokeless
and easy to handle, are marketable fuel
of larger value than anthracite coal.
By spring the Capac peat bog indus
try will be producing 200 tons day.
The company places the profitable mar
ket price at less than "a ton, and at
one stroke proposes to outset soft coal
and give hard coal a race for CONNER
cial existence.-Ex.
Some Investigations have been made
as to the quality of the peat beds in this
county and it is stated that the industry
may be taken up here at some future
date.

and they have been doing considerable
dead work in opening up tie mine.
We are informed that The officers are
well satisfied with the present prospects
