U. r. SCHOOL LAWS.
Change Intended to Take School
Matters Out Of Politics.

This week the new school laws for
the upper peninsula went into effect.
The act provides that in each town
ship the qualified voters shall elect a
board of trustees OF FIVE members
whose terms of Office shall be three
years, ana that the annual meetings
shall be held on the second Monday
of July in each year. 1t is claimed
that the act is of great Importance,
as it provides for the removal of all
school matters from political in
fuence, the old law providing for
elections on town meeting days in
April, when partisan spirit holds
sway.
Another act provides for the pay
ment by school districts, of tuition
and daily transportation of pupils
who have completed the studies OF
the eighth grade, to any high school
which the board Of any rural dis
trict may select.

$4,000 TIMBER DEAL
Tract OF Baraga County Timber
Lands Sold by Detroit Parties
at a Handsome Profit.

A timber deal involving no small
consideration was consummated a
few days ago. The lands are in
Baraga county, but as vet no record
of the transaction has been filed
with the register of deeds at the
Court House.
The lands were disposed of by
Detroit parties. The tract is
located on Point Abbaye, northeast
of Pequaming, and lies mostly in
town 81, range 81. The price for
which they were sold is understood
to be about s65, ZOO. The Detroit
parties purchased this tract about
one year ago from the heirs of
Traugott Smith, also of Detroit,
for s33, 800. 1t does not require
much of mathematician to figure
out that the Detroit gentlemen
realized a handsome profit on their
investment. The sale also conveys
an idea of the increase in value of
Baraga county timbered lands.
The Detroit Tribune of recent
date contained the following anent
the transaction:
Detroit men have just made a
big timber sale in Baraga county,
Mich. A tract of about $4,000, 000
feet of pine, hemlock, cedar and
birch timber has been sold by Frank
F. Tillotson, Frank Filler and B. A.
Scott, to Leonard Harrison, OF
Wellsboro, Pa, and upper peninsula
parties. The price paid is underr
stood to have been in the neighbor-
hood of s65, 900. I The tract which
has changed hands is on Point
Abbaye, and the new owners will
eventually lumber it off, though
this operation may not be metered
into extensively for some time.
The land sold was purchased by the
Detroit men about a year ago, and
they clean up handsome profit
in the transaction.

The theory is being advanced that
the abnormally cold weather that
has prevailed during our recent
summers is due to the unnatural
production and appropriation of
electricity, and it is pointed out by
many that as the utilization of cleo
tricity has increased, our hot sum
mer weather has diminished. 1t
now remains for inventors to devise
some means for electrically heating
our summer weather to the proper
degree. Boston Herald

FAIR A SUCCESS.
HOughton County Agricultural
Society Banks 81 900 After
Paying Expenses.

The Houghton County Agricultur-
al Society's first annual fair, held in
the Amphidrome, Houghton, and
which ended last Saturday night,
was big success, financially and
otherwise. The paid admissions
footed up to 1854, and the receipts
we're approximately $1,000. A sur
plus of nearly $1,000 will be placed
on deposit by the treasurer of the
society, the expenses aggregating
1900. 1t is interesting to compare
the figures of receipts and expenses
of the Houghton fair with the Mar
quette county fair, which went be-
hind over 5000.
Ira E. Randall, secretary Of the
Houghton county society, is entitled
to much credit for the success of the
fair. The bulk of the work fell up
on him, and he devoted much of his
time to the project for several
weeks preceding the show. Mr..
Randall made several visits to
Baraga county during the weeks
of preparation for the event, and
that his efforts were not in vain is
attested by the number of exhibits
entered and the interest manifested
in the undertaking by Baraga coun-
ty people. Next year Secretary
Randall states there will be larger
classification and more premiums.
As near as can be ascertained the
following is list of the exhibitors
from Baraga county who were
awarded premiums:
Blackberries, first prize John H.
Edgerton, L'Anse.
