FRAUDULENT LOT
PLATING SCHEMES
Auditor General Bradley Sought TO
Prevent their Existence Through
aBiIl Prepared for that Pur-
pose.

The Outing Beach Resort Association
in theiriplat of lands in Grand Traverse
county appear to be giving considerable
troubleito the board of supervisors, be-
cause ofHts methods of..selling lots, and
the impossibility of the assessment and
collection of taxes, 1t appears there have
been hundreds of acres along the shores
of Long Lake and elsewhere in that
county plated by Chicago parties into
lots twenty-five and thirty feet wide, to
the number of ten or eleven thousands
lots. These lots were given away, but
the person to whom given, in a guessing
contest or otherwise, was required to
pay $l.26 for recording, and $l.30 for
abstract and deed, so that the associa-
ton would receive an amount above
thirty thousand dollars in the deal, if
the lots are all disposed of. The whole
scheme is a fraud, as the lots have no
value; and the board of supervisors are
up against the proposition of determin-
ing the ownership for assessment pur-
poses, at much expense, and the state
will be called upon to expend large
amount of money in the sale of these
delinquent lots for taxes.

FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Alma College Makes Good Start in the
Second intercollegiate Game Last
Saturday.
BAPTlSTS WERE
FAR OUTCLASSED
Alma Made First Touchdown in Less Than Two Minutes
and Followed it up at the Rate Of a Point and
a Half Minute

The college team administered an over
whelming defeat to Hillsdale, Saturday,
on Davis Field by a score of 81 to o.
This was the first game of football ever
played between the two colleges and
Alma will have occasion TO remember il
for many years. 1t was also the largest
score ever rolled up by the college
against an opposing team, and this fact
speaks further praise for Tugs men as
the team played Saturday was Alma S
equal in weight.
The game was too one-sided to be
interesting TO disinterested spectator
but to Almas rooters it was a great
cause for rejoicing and was witnessed
with great interest. This is the second
intercollegiate game for the college and
gives Alma clean start for the state
championship.
1t was Alma's game from the start
and her goal was never once in danger.
The only question was the size of the
score. The first touchdown was made
in less than two minutes after the kick
off, and Alma continued to score during
the 33 minutes of play at the rate of a
point and a half per minute. Time was
called for Hillsdale to catch the train,
when only eight minutes of the second
half had been played, and had the
remaining twelve minutes been played
the score would have been much larger
1t can be said to Hillsdale's credit
that they put mp good fight and played
the cleanest game that has ever been
seen on Davis field. Slugging and
rough play were entirely absent. Alma's
men all agree that they never went
against more gentlemanly set of players
and are loud in the praise of Hillsdale's
team. But the Baptists were not there
with the goods, and Tugs machine
pushed them over the gridiron at will
Hillsdale had a poor defense, and on
offense was slow TO gain, making first
down but four times during the game.
A few unfortunate fumbles were also
chalked up against the visitors, and sew
eral times the pigskin shot out from the
bunch, to be pounced upon by an Alma
man. Alma's playing in this respect
was perfect and not man juggled the
ball during the game. Casterlin ran the
team with the skill of veteran and dis
played his usual superb generalship.
Hillsdale won the toss and Alma
kicked off at the beginning of the game.
A bad tumble occurred ON the second
down and McCollum secured the ball
on Hillsdale's 40 yard line. Alma then
started to scoring. Good gains by Moon
and Carr took the ball inside the yard
line and Neon crossed over for the first

that there are no strings on him which

I touchdown No goal. Hillsdale then
kicked to Helmer, who took the ball for
10 yard run on the kickoff, making
the most brilliant play of the game.
Moon and Schultz followed with good
gains and Helmer placed the ball behind
the goal posts. Angel kicked the goal
and the score was III to o.
On the next kickoff Myers advanced
the ball 10 yards. Angel smashed
through Hillsdale's line and got the man
with the ball and they were compelled
to punt. Magidsohn secured the ball
at the middle of the field. Alma rushed
the visitors off their feet Carr tore off
a pretty run of 20 yards and Moon again
crossed the goal line. Alma again
kicked off and another touchdown was
registered by Helmer. Schultz followed
with another. Angel punted out to
Schultz but failed to kick the goal.
Hillsdale kicked off to Alma and Schultz
advanced the ball Is yards. Alma tried
a quarterback kick but Hillsdale got the
ball. Another bad tumble by Hillsdale
and Grandpa" Angel fell on the ball.
Marshall made a pretty run of 30 yards
but the referee did not allow the gain
and penalized Alma 10 yards for hold
ing. Good gains by Helmer and Betz
took the ball within scoring distance
when Casterlin, Alma's 1875 pound
quarterback, circled right end for a
touchdown, placing the ball directly
behind the goal posts. Angel kicked
the goal and the half ended with the
score 33 to O.
The second half was a repetition of
the first as regards Alma's speed and
her ability to score. Hillsdale, however,
rallied for few minutes, and Myers.
Hogan and Main carried the ball for
10 yard gains. But Tugs men kept up
the pace set in the fist half, and three
more men crossed the goal line before
the game ended.
Fullback Evans was out of the lineup
but Magidsohn played a star game in
his place. Schultz and Angel did great
work on defense, the latter tackling
behind the line several times. Helmer,
Carr, and Moon were the best ground
gamers, and nearly every Alma man
was sure for gain at each call. Line
up:

The conditions of these matters before
the board of supervisors of Grand Ira
verse county again directs attention to
the failure of the committee of the legis-
lature on amendment and revision of
the statutes to give serious consideration
to the bill prepared by Auditor General
Bradley, and introduced by Representa-
tive. Higgins, requiring the consent of
a common council in cities, board of
trustees in villages, or the township
board, before laying out and plating
lands to be offered for sale. In Muske-
gon county, Roscommon county. Mason
county, and in probably a dozen other
counties in the state, plats have been
made such as this of the Outing Beach
Resort by outside parties for the fraudu-
lent purpose of obtaining money by the
sale of worthless lots to innocent pur-
chasers. Lots have been given away as
prizes in guessing contests where the
subject. is so simple that everybody
guesses right, or as gifts with quarters 5
worth of soap, and numerous cheap
schemes, where the money is secured in
a charge for the deed and recording. If
Auditor General Bradley's measure had
passed the Legislature, this sort of thing
might be prevented in the future, but
as the law now stands there is nothing
to prevent the plating of any number
of thousands of acres of sand plains into
town sites and selling them to gullible
people for song.

DRY WINES.
The Main Point as Deduced From
Methods of Foreign Countries.

The Main Point as Deduced From
Methods of Foreign Countries.
+. Il. BiOletti of the University of
California recently visited the chief
vine growing regions of Europe and
Algeria for the purpose of observing
the methods of wine making that are
adapted to hot climates. In a recent
publication on the manufacture of dry
wines in hot countries Mr.. Bioletti re-
cords the main lesson OF practical i'm
pOrtance to California wine makers to
be learned from a consideration of the
French and Algerian methods. 1T is"
he says, 1.-The oft repeated one of cool
fermentation. 1t seems strange that in
Algeria, where cool water is far more
scarce than in California, the wine
makers should have been able to make
the use of cooling machines a practical
success, while here little or no progress
has been made in that direction. The
reason is to be found probably in a
lack of a real appreciation of the need
and use of cool fermentation among
the wine makers of the regions where
dry wines are usually made and of the
difficulty oil applying known method-
In the hotter regions, where the cellars
are nearly all of great size.
with regard to the first, there is un-
doubtedly very general lack of reali-
zation of the benefits to be derived
from fermenting wines at low tenn
perature. A wine which attains a
temperature of % to 100 degrees f.
during fermentation will never have
the freshness, bouquet and general
high quality of one which never ex-
ceeds So or 80 degrees F. Even
though the former ferments out COM
pletely and remains a perfectly sound
wine, its quality and especially it's bou-
quet is injured, and the readiness of
many California wines and of wines
from other hot countries is undcubted-
ly due in great part to the high tenn
peratures of fermentation"
