Bliss Plans for Saginaw.

Mrs. Allasaba NJ. Bliss, widow OF
the late governor. has addressed the
following letter to the city council:
"All you have said Of my husband In
your letter of coincidence is true. He
loved Saginaw better than any place
on earth and constantly planned its
growth and prosperity. In securing In
stitutions, presenting a park and foun-
tain to the city, he took as much pleas
ure as in anything he ever did. We
can but regret he could not have lived
long enough to complete his plans and
enjoy the fruit of his labors."
1t was well known that the COVER
nor, had he lived and his finances per.
mitted, intended to bestow important
gifts upon Saginaw, but Mrs. Bliss
does not say what they were.

Coat Looked Like a Deer.

The remains of Lee o.. Hall, who
was shot in the north woods acci-
hentally by exMayor F. C. Miller, OF
Ionia, were brought home and buried
1t Portland Sunday.
Miller and Hall had been five miles
north OF their camp to see neighbor
about getting his stock on Millers
and so their sawmill could be erected.
On the way back to camp Hall
'joshed" Miller about a piece OF land
he had sold, saying there was more
timber on it than Miller supposed
Miller suggested that they cut
through the piece. Deer had been
plenty in the locality that week and
both men had their rifles. When part
way through the timber Miller was
startled by shot and stopped. Hall
cried out, Look out, Frank; / have
brought down deer which is coming
your way"
Miller, in the excitement, ran to the
other side of Hall to reach some high
ground in the open. Hall, being a
cripple. made his way little farther
and fell down in the brush. Hall wore
q hunting coat.
Miller saw something struggling in
the brush and supposed it was the
wounded deer. He fired. The bal
went clear through Halls body and
ne was dead when Miller discovered
mis- horrible mistake. Miller was fran
tic over the affair and had to be close
ly watched by his friends that night
Before Hall went north Smith tried
TO persuade him not to take his hunt
Ing coat, which resembled a deer In
color but Hall laughed, said he coulo
die but once, and put on the coat.

A story is told of Scotch minister
who gave the rural joiner an order to

When the pastor received the &C.

about the amount, and said he could
have got a secondhand cupboard,
which would have answered his pur'
pose equally well, at much less cost.

contractor to deepen the mouth OF the
Boardman river. The improvement is
desired to provide better channel for
sewage to flow into the bay. John OFT

the city recently tore out his dam,

In the issue of November End the
Pioneer contained Mr.. Cranes first
announcement of his candidacy for
the state senate. The article was the
embodiment of fairness and frankness.
In the announcement the following
statement appeared: TO the voters of
Steele county I have a special word.
Precedent accords you the naming of
the next 18th District senator, there
fore, beyond stating very plainly my
desire for the nomination and asking
you to consider the possibly greater
value of continuous service, I shall
make no campaign as against one of
your citizens, properly supported.
He also stated in the Pioneer Office
later on that he would do no personal
canvassing since Steele county had a
candidate. Regardless of all these
statements, Mr.. Crane has made the
fight of his life for the nomination.
Are all of Mr.. Cranes promises to the
voters of the 10th District to be as
deliberately set aside as those made
to the citizens of Steele county?

That you may know who I am I will
make the following statement:
I am one of the early settlers in the
county coming here in 1885 and buy
ing a section of land in Glendale twp.
and adding to that from time to time,
but losing heavily in later years by
reasons over which I had no control.
I conducted a blacksmith and wagon
business in the town of Hope and have
done work for the greater number of
the farmers in the south half of the
county. have paid more taxes into
the County Treasury than the average
farmer. have always supported the
Republican party though willing for
every voter to use his own franchise
right according as his own conscience
dictates. I am out of business and
can give my whole attention to the
work of the Office.
If you can conscientiously give me
your support in gaining this election
shall feel very greatful and will en-
deavor to do the business so that you
will have no cause to regret.

rigid enforcement. If elected my vote

this about is through the primary

In every campaign there is always
a certain amount Of ammunition used
in creating a noise to befuddle the
minds of the voters as to the real
issues. The same tactics are now
being used by some who are pushing
the candidacy of Mr.. Crane. We
have labored diligently in trying to
find where Mr.. Crane did anything
really remarkable or performed any
great service for his constituents. It
is true he did make a good fellow of
himself and introduced a bill ppro-
priating a large sum of money for the
purpose of purchasing q fancy turn
out for the Governor when that gen
tleman had no more need for it than
we have. Did this show any great
effort in trying to reduce the taxes
for his constituents? Mr.. Crane also
voted against the original primary
election bill. Did this act indicate
his hostility toward Alex. Mckenzie
and the gang? We believe he also
voted for the Capitol Commission
Bill which was one Of McKenzie's pet
measures. Does this indicate his
eternal hatred for the big Scot and his
henchmen? The fact of the matter is,
Mr.. Crane was a very ordinary sena-
tor who enjoyed himself immensely,
and who wore his toga as gracefully
as the best of them and now that
another election is drawing near he
very naturally has a desire to be re-
turned. Accordingly a neat little pill
is compounded which the voters are
expected to take at a gulp without
inquiring as to its virtues. The cry
OF eternally fighting the gang is be.
ginning to react, now that the people
are beginning to investigate the
genial senator's record of the past
two sessions.

The Old Morning GLORY.

flowers. Appearing every morning in
all the richest shades of white, blue

the silky flowers add much to the
