Obituary..

Julius c. Gould was born in Lum-
bridge, VT, June II, 1917. He was re-
leased from the cares and pains of earth
life January 8, 1907, having spent 80
years, months and 81 days in this
beautiful world.
Mr. Gould was the second son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Aaron Gould, and of their fam
lily two brothers survive him. September
dIer and they came to Michigan for a
wedding journey and to visit his sister,
Mrs. A. G.. Glidden, and other relatives.
They were so attracted to this region
and Mr.. Gould was so infatuated with
the development of the fruit industry
that they decided to make this their
home, and purchased the farm east of
Paw Paw now known as the Ayers farm,
and here they began lfe's work together.
Their hospitable home became a social
center for the community about them,
And here they lived until failing health
compelled him to give up the farm work
when he moved into this home, and
here his friends have watched him de-
cline, and his faithful wife has been his
constant attendant.
Mr. Gould was man of very strong
character. His persevering nature knew
no defeat. When disappointments came
into his life he did not surrender, but
changed his plans to help him reach
the point he desired to make. 1t is not
too much to say that Mr.. Gould vas a
man of unquestioned integrity, strictly
temperate, industrious and frugal These
are noble qualities, inherited from the
rugged ancestry of New England and ex-
emplfied in his daily life. When he es-
poused a cause he was ambitious for its
interests, and be became acknowledged
authority IN the science of fruit growing
He early identified himself with the
Grange and remained an interested
member until the end He was active
in the Paw Paw and Antwerp Farmer s
club, the horticultural societies, local
and state, affiliated with the Knights OF
Maccabees, and held responsible offices
! in each of these societies. 10 politics he
was a republican, in religious matters he
was member of the Presbyterian
church of this village. tie has been
through long illness of intense suffer
ing but his will power .and the hope
that he would be able to rise above the
tyranny OF disease has been marvel to
US ALL Indeed, it has become a constant
remark that his courage and persistencY
have kept him here when other men
would have succumbed. A man of such
heroic nature must of necessity make
some mistakes, and Mr.. Gould no doubt
had his faults for none here are fault
less, but these we should only remember
that we may profit by their lessons and
our own selves avoid similar cnes. In
/ thinking over these qualities of mind
and heart and while recognizing the
common mistakes and plumbers of US all,
in remembrance OF Mr.. Gould we can
each say, peace, sweet peace to his
ashes" while we each learn lessons from
his invincible courage.

Now when all outdoor farm work has

Interesting Facts I'm Regard to the salt In.
dustry ih Michigan.

The 38th annual report of the
state salt inspector has been sub
mitted to the governor by State
Inspector Hon. E. A. Wildey.
Few people have any idea of the
immensely of the salt industry
in Michigan, or that our state
produces more salt than any
other state in the union The
report shows that in the year
1860 when salt was first manu-
featured in Michigan there were
but 1000 barrels manufactured
The output has increased until
it has reached the immense
amount of 5,644, $50 barrels, the
amount inspected during the
year 1906
The report further shows that
the fees collected on this amount
at three mills per barrel netted
the sum of SIC, 933 81. There
was a balance on hand at the be-
ginning of the year of So, 375. 80,
making the total receipts for the
year 500, 309.02. The expend-
lures for salaries, expenses,
etc, for the year were so, 1856 on.
This permits a rebate to the
manufacturers of one mill per
barrel on IL, 315, 612 barrels, the
amount inspected during 1905
and 1906, or the sum of S11, 49,
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1907-01-25

90, and leaves balance of $685.
81 on hand.
The entire expense of this de-
partment is borne by the manu-
facturer. He is taxed three
mills per barrel on all salt manu-
featured, and after all expenses
are deducted, the balance is dis
tributed pro rata, and each man
ufacturer receives his proper
tionate share of the rebate. Mr..
Wildey reports that the future
of the salt industry in Michigan
looks promising. and that no
"blocks" have been closed be-
cause of failure from a financial
standpoint.

Up Against the Real Thing

There are times when manufacturer $
are cup against the real thing" Just
now the cigar manufacturers are con-
fronted by serious problem, which is
making the best of them think hard.
Leaf tobacco has advanced during the
past three years from 80 to 40 per cent:
boxes have advanced about 20 per cent:
labels-in fact, everything the manufac-
turer uses is higher in price. There are
only two alternatives open to him-he
must either raise the price or cut the
the quality. The c. j. Johnson Cigar
Co., of Grand Rapids, Mich, has ad-
vanced the price of its S. G.. w. cigar 81
per thousand, and we are pleased to see
it take this course and see no reason
why any intelligent dealer should OBJ.

preciate the action of the company in
upholding the uniform quality of the S.

Pinafore Paragraphs.

Rev. McBain Milne, Paw Paws popu-
lar preacher, perceives the possibility OF
producing "Pinafore" properly in a small
town, and willingly works to teach
thoroughly to anxious artists the art Of
singing songs so sweetly that the people
will perambulate to hear them.
The rehearsals are reaching the re-
gions of success, the principals are push
ing persistently ahead and the chorus
covers the catalogue of chords carefully
The parson pushes them persistently
and pleads the proper portrayal of each
part.
Josephine jogs ioyously along, Ralph
Rackstraw reaches real heights of hap
piness, Sir Joseph Porter pipes porten-
tiously, Captain Corcoran keeps care
fully close to convention. Dick Deadeye
digs deeply down the dumps and drags
dismay aboard, Cousin Hebe hangs hope
fully to her naughty kinsman, Bill Bob
stay butts in boastfully, Tom Tucker
tinkles tunefully and the rest are all
right, especially Little Buttercup, who
bravely bares her baby farming secret
to the dire dismay of all hands on deck.
1t is hoped that the deck of "H. NJ. S.
Pinafore' will be scrubbed, the top mast
spiked to the main halyards, the mizzen
spliced to the lib boom and the fore
yard arm crooked at the elbow at ar
early date.

Bullion Shipment for Deem
ber-DurinG the month of De-
cember 203 bars of bullion, val
ued at 1888, 659.76 was shipped
from this mining district.
Red Cloud Ledge This claim
was located in October 1870 by
Frank Cisler and James Ham,
mond. It is situate on the
mountain side, about 700 feet
above the Washington & Creole
mine. The shaft is down fifteen
feet deep. Last week a contract
was let to sink it 60 feet deeper.
After the work was commenced
and the old shaft cleared of the
rubbish that had accumulated in
it since the first work was done,
the contractors sunk about eight
feet when a four foot ledge was
struck. The walls are hard and
smooth, Of quartzite, and pitch
nearly perpendicular. An assay
made by John Cahil from an
average sample of ore gave
$840. Sc in silver and $50.23 in
gold, making a total of $3.50. rs
per ton. Work will be prose-
cuted from this time forward
until the mine is fully developed.
The strike is of great Importance
to the district, and this ledge has
been searched for by different
parties for the last two years.
At last the ledge is found and its
richness satisfies everyone that
if they have not got the Light
ner ledge, they have one quite
as good.
