The Mystery Solved.

The term printer s devil as applied
to the boy who does the choring
around printing Office mas a pecul,
lar romantic history. In early days
printing was styled the "black art "
and printers we're supposed to be in
league with Satan. But it was in
the time OF Aldus Minutius in Venice
that the matter took a serious turn.
This was the famous printer who
first published the Greek and Roman
classics. He took into his employ a
negro boy who was homeless on the
streets of-Venice. The people sup
posed the boy was an imp from Satan
and that he assisted in printing
Mobs collected about the Office and
we're about to wreck it, when the
boy was brought forward ADD exbib
tied showing that the BOY was flesh
and blood, out he was still called
"the printers devil and every boy
10 his position ever since has been
so called.

FOR FIREMENs TOURNAMENT.
Donation OF $500 Made by the Onto.
MACON VILLAGE Council.

Ontonagon village has come to the
support OF the 6remen S tournament
fund in q substantial manner, appro-
priating $500 for aiding in the ex-
pense of the big gathering to be held
Aug. 20 to %. In consideration OF
this the plank and other lumber
which will be used in building grand
stands, ETC., is to be turned over to
the village and thus the greater part
Of the appropriation will be returned.
The finance committee is meeting
with excellent success and no trouble
will be experienced in raising ample
funds. The business men are re-
spending literally and are taking
much interest ir the affair.
While the aim is TO make the tour
nament o 6remen's gathering in
every sense OF the word, it will be
attractive to others as we'll. The
committee has taken hold OF the
matter with the fixed intention OF
pushing it to successful issue and
accomplishing the arrangements rs
fast as possible. The prizes for the
various contests will be OF sub
stantial nature and suitable enter.
tainment will be provided. 1t is be
lieved that it will be one Of the
largest gatherings OF firemen in the
history Of the association. A large
number OF departments have signi.
fed their intention OF being present
and il is expected that there will be
q keen contest for the several events.
Negotiations for special train ser
vice and special rates are under
way.

one line OF service which sens b le

for the people Of Michigan That
service would be to pr divide some
practical means offreeing the state

These matters are impor tant to the
communities interested, perba ps,
but they are not separately impor-
tant to the people OF the whole state.
They are in reality usually disposed

lature 10 whose district they belong,
and they can as we'll through some
other means be disposed Of by local
authority. Legislative sessions could
be shortened almost by half II the
burden OF having TO do with affairs
entirely local could be otherwise
disposed Of.

the Belmore Bay Mining company
we're held at several points where
the shares are largely held Monday
evening The shareholders of Ne
gaunee and Ishpe ming met at Shea's
hall, and there was a good stten-
dance.
There are two important matters
to be considered by the shareholders.
Money must be raised to operate the
mine, or it must be sold. 1t is said
that three or four parties would like
an option on the property. 1t has
been examined by number OF prom
inent mining men during the past
year and all were favorably impress
ed with it.
The meetings OF the several groups
OF shareholders we're held to obtain
the sentiment in favor Of selling
more treasury stock to raise funds
with which to carry on the work.
The minS has been opened up SUM-
GENTLY TO put IL 10 condition TO soon
pay dividends, provided funds are
raised TO improve the mill and other
machinery. The management has
been handicapped from the start
BY the lack Of funds. 1t is said that

are ready to take additional stock.
About one tenth Of the stock issued

Auditor General Bradley has com
puted from the various appropris.
tions of 1907, the amounts OF the
levies for the several objects appro'
priated for, and determined the
amount OF each fund necessary to be
raised 10 the years 1907 and 1908.
There are fifty FIVE OF these funds In
the tax Of this year, and forty-five
for next year, each one Of which
must be separately distributed in
proper proportion according to
co ualized valuation against each OF
the eighty-three counties OF the
state--a work of-no little magnitude,
and demanding the utmost exacti-
tude of calculation. The ascertain
ment OF these gross amounts enable
comparisons with the levies OF the
previous two years, which are in
structive. The taxes of this year
should be compared with those OF
1915, and those OF next year with
1906. TIE latter comparison shows a
total levy of "a, 04O, 732,77 for 1908,
against So, 383, 5,29 last year, an
increase OF about two thirds OF a mil
lion. The tax OF this year will be -,
DIG, 742, 81, as against 50 1863. 724 81 in
1905 an inc ress e of little over
