The Reason
Why L. F. Knowles of Boyne
City, Should be Elected
Delegate to Con. Con.

The selection of delegates to the
State Constitutional Conve ntion. Is
one that involves great responsibility ~
upon the electors Of the state, as well
as great responsibility upon the dele
gates when chosen; upon the electors
that they exercise the best judgment
In selecting men for delegates. and
upon the delegates iu Ae performance
of their duties when ELECTED.
The Convention should represent,
as near as may be, not only the sever
al interests of the state, should be
composed of men representing, what
may he termed, the conservative ele-
ment of society, and of wide exper-
fence in public affairs. Another ele-
ment of our citizenship should be rep
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-07-27

resented. That element of young
progressive citizenship which is active
In the state and nation in our bust
ness, professional and political life,
and the highest type of which are rep
resented by such OF these as have
equipped themselves for their various
occupations by thorough educational
training. These men represent the
aggressive business and political ac-
tivities, and il we would frame and
adopt an improved constitution, rep
resenting the new thoughts and the
new activities Of the state, we will
get II through the representation in
this convention, of this element.
Charlevoix offers, as a candidate for
delegate from the 9th senatorial dis
trict, such man ia the person of l..
+. Knowles of Boyne City. A grad
uate from literary course, supple
mented by professional course, from
the State University, and trained by
eight years Of active business and pro-
fessi0nal life since finishing his col
lege course. More than ordinarily
successful in both; clean, competent,
honorable, ,and an energetic and pains
taking worker, with ain active and
bIIlliant mind, thoroughly familiar
with professional, business and social
affairs, an ardent republican ia prin-
ciple, but unhampered by any past
political Affiliations. The friends of
Mr.. knowles urge his nomination as
delegate because he Is young, edu-
Gated, energetic, competent, and be
cause he represents this element of
the inhabitants of the state from
which emanates new thought, fresh
energy and good citizenship.

More important than the mere pur-
chase by the Michigan Central of the
David Ward estates Detroit Il Char
levoiX railroad of A miles are the de-
velopments probable in consequence
OF the Michigan Central taking the
road into its system. 1t is most like
ly that the white pine forests through
which it passes and still larger forests
Of hardwoods will be purchased from
the Ward estate by a syndicate of
wealthy Bay City lumber operators at
price Of S., 5,0O0,0 900 or upwards, more
saw mills put in, and first the pine
and then the hardwood felled, sawed
into lamber and sent 10 market on a
wholesale scale.
1t is said that the Bay City lumber
men have been ready for long time
to take the timber, either the whole
as syndicate, or in parcels by indy
iduals, but would not touch it unless
the Michigan Central would take the
small railroad and guarantee the new
spurs and siding AMI equipment nee
essary to the large scale handling of
the producL.
The Ward timber landslin Crawford,
Antrim and Charlevolx counties, but
chiefly in Antrim county. total rs, 900
acres, and include large tracts of cork
pine-the straight, tall trees without
d branch, the famous Michigan white
pine. 1t is estimated that there are
3OO,O0O.0O0 feet OF white pine lumber
Ia these trees. and from 1000, ,O0O,OOU
TO 1000, 200, GOO feet OF hardwoods.
If the Bay City lumbermen get at
this timber once again and for the
last time will Michigan have gen.
uine lumber camp, with its gangs OF
tree choppers in gay flannel coats and
tocques, ready to break once in "a
while for the nearest town for wild
old spree as relief from the weeks Of
monotony In the woods.
The Detroit Il Charlevoix railroad
was characteristlcallV David Ward
proposition. He wouldn't tie up with
either the Michigan Central or the G..
r. & L. railroad, the lines on either
side Of his lands.a and built the Detroit
81 CharlevoiX from South Arm on the
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-07-27

G.. K. 81 l., to Frederic on the Michi-
gan Central, so he could seesaw with
them. The Wards have not cut the
timber rapidly, although they have a
large sawmill and settlement at De-
ward, town of their own In the
woods, but If the Bay Citv people get
at it they will make things hum.
The Michigan Central pays $500 900
for the "A miles Of railroad, considered
a very cheap price when the years Of
traffic In lumber and timber products
that attach are considered The
Michigan Central agrees to construct
branches and switches wherever nee
essary through the woods and the
Wards agree TO ship minimum of
20,00O,000 feet of lumber annually.
The Michigan Central will build six
miles of new track to turn the line
from Frederic TO Grayling, where
there are railroad shops and yards, ,and
will make Graylng the main connect
ing point.
One ground for belief that the tim
ber will be sold is that the entire es-
tate must be divided among the heirs
before the end of 1912. The Ward es-
tate trustees are Willis g. Ward OF
Pontiac, George X. Root of New York,
Frank w. Ward of Bay City.
