In "The Twentieth Century
Home" for March George But
ledge Gibson makes q strong plea
for State aid for cooking schools.
Almost every State in the Union
has agricultural schools and COL
leges, and some of them schools in
horticulture and forestry, which
are common pursuits. But no State
Or national provision is made for
women to learn how to prepare i'm
proved varieties of plant and ami
NAL life. The need ie obvious.

TO THE PUBLIC.

After this week the Benten Coun.
~ New will voluntarily suspend
publication. This does not near
that the paper has "busted," be.
cause the plant is paid for and
without the embarrassment OF
debts, but we retire for the simple
reason that it base been a losing
inv estmentfrom the start. Ourpat-
ronage has not paid expenses and
Camden is too small field for two
newspapers. We had expected the
Republicans of the county would
support the paper, but, strange to
say, they have not rallied to our
support, and the bulk of our pat
ronage has come from other quar-
tiers.
The public will lose no money in
our suspension, as we have made
arrangements with The CHRoNI-
ctE2to fill out all unexpired SUBJ
scriptions.
The Camden Job Office, under
the management of Eugene Tray
is, is a distinct concern, and will
continue in business as heretofore.
We thank the public for it's pat
ronage and bid, our subscribers
farewell with no little regret.
Very respectfully,

Proposed New Ship Canal Across
the Peninsula From Lake
to Lake.

A Detroit dispatch states that
Nelson Thomasson, a well-known
vesselman, OF Chicago, is authority
for the statement that syndicate is
to be formed to dig a canal from
Au Train bay, on Lake Superior, to
Rapid River, at the head of Little
Bay de Noquette, Lake Michigan.
BY using the Whitefish river it is
declared, only sixteen miles OF the
total distance of thirty-five miles
between Superior and Michigan
would have to be dredged. The
Whitefish river flows south, while in
a northerly direction the Au Train
river runs into Au Train bay. Such
a canal would shorten the route be-
tween Duluth and Chicago by 28b
miles and would save upwards Of
200 miles on the route between Du-
luth and Buffalo. aside from making
unnecessary the proposed new lock
at the 500.

FOUR CARS
DERAILED.
Trains Delayed Tuesday BY
Accident at
L'Anse.

A broken wheel on q car, or
freight train No. 81, due in L'Anse
at 9:06, caused four cars to leave the
track at the foot OF the hill
near the depot, Tuesday morn
ing. The ties we're badly damaged
and the rails for a few rods were
sprung and broken. Had the acci'
dent occurred few moments earlier,
while the train was enroute down
the hill, the entire train would have
undoubtedly been wrecked.
Two OF the cars were soon re-
placed upon the track, and about ]
O'Clock the wrecking crew arrived,
and by night the track was cleared
and repaired.
Passengers on the morning train
from Marquette and the st. Paul
train were transferred, and each
train returned.
The car, the broken wheel OF which
caused the wreck, was heavily load
ed with western copper bound for
the Quincy smelters, the. .rehandling
Of which caused considerable delay
in clearing up the wreckage.
1t was fortunate the accident was
no worse.

The happiest man in the world is
the common, everyday chap who
makes his own living, pays his own
board and has the respect Of his
neighbors. He saves q little money
as he goes along, but he doesn't try
to get a corner on the local output,
and he is a slave reither to ambi-
tion or society. He Eever expects
to wear out the seat of his pants in
the senate, and when he slides into
his pants in the morning he never
wastes any time trying to pick out
the right tint of socks, suspenders
and necktie that will blend with the
general effect. He wears "biled"
shirt when he feels like it, and when
bis pet corn begins to jump he whips
out his jack knife and cuts four
inch cash in the side OF his boot, and
nothing is said about It'll the paper
He has an appetite like cyclone
and never has to sit up nights and
poultice his conscience. He believes
in the doctrine of live and let live.
When he encounters one of the needy
he doesn't stutter with his pocket
book. The plain plug of a man is
happy because he is satisfied and
doesn't spend the better part OF his
life yearning about something about
four sizes too big for him.-Ex.

Before leaving for his vacation
Postmaster General Cortelyou di-
rected the issuance of new form OF
money order, which, itIis believed,
will be proof against alteration at
the hands OF forgers. The depart
ment has been greatly annoyed by
persons who purchase money orders
for small amounts and raise them.
passing them upon merchants after
office hours. Although the direct
loss falls entirely upon those who
accept the orders, the government
refusing to cash them except as or
iginally drawn, there has been heavy
indirect expense involved in the pur-
suit, arrest and conviction of the
offenders. The form adopted will
be issued as soon as new plates can
be prepared and other preliminary
arrangements made.

TEMPORARY BRIDGE.
Railroad Companies Have Solved
the Transportation Question.


The railroads OF the Portage Lake
district have successfully solved the
question which has been up for dis
cussion for some time with regard
to the transfer OF their passenger
and freight trains during the winter.
AS soon as navigation is closed
in the lake, piles will be driven in
the two channels Of the bridge, and
the rails will belaid upon a platform
which will be built on top of the
piles. This will make substantial
bridge over which trains can run
without the least danger. During
the time that the piles are being
driven and bridge made, the COM
panies will transfer their passengers
and freight over pontoon bridges,
such as are used every winter for the
convenience of people who work at
places at the east end of Honghton
and Ripley. This will not be nec-
essary for more than a couple OF
weeks at the very most, as it will not
take long to drive the piles, erect
the platform and lay the rails. Cal

The 1905 session of the Keweenaw
Bay Ojibway Indian Camp Meeting
Association came to close Tue esday
morning, and is pronounced one
OF the best and most successful in
the history of the association. The
attendance at every meeting was
very large, but more especially at
the Sunday service. The work ac-
complished by those who bad the
affair in charge, reflects great credit
upon them, for they spared no pains
to make it the grand success it
proved to be in every way. The as
sociation is very much pleased over
the results.

INJURED BY PET CAT.
Little Eva Steinmetx Badly
Lacerated by the Angry
Animal.

While engaged in play at her home
on Broad street. Thursday morning,
little Eva Steinmetz met with very
peculiar experience, and one which
will no doubt not soon be forgotten.
1t appears that she was playing
among the flowers in the rear of the
yard, and without a sound OF warn
ing, a large cat which belonged to
the home, sprang upon the child,
attempting to bite her on the face.
With q quick presence of mind
she caught the animal by the throat,
thus saving her from being bitten,
but while holding the cat in this
manner, it used it's claws freely on
the child's bare arms, infiicting
many long and deep gashes, which
are very painful.
The situation might have been
much worse, but for the quick action
of fine black coolie dog, which is a
great pet OF the child. The dog was
lying upon the rear porch, and hear
ing the child's cries, sprang to her
assistance and caught the cat, quick
ly dispatching it, thereby saving the
child from q far worse mutilation.
Physicians were at once summon
ed and dressed the wounds, and it
is hoped that nothing serious will
follow the peculiar incident.
