Where there is now virgin forest
the Cleveland Cliff Iron company has
commenced the work OF laying out a
new town in the Swanzey district
near Marquette, Mich
Within few years it will become
an important mining center. the
home of hundreds of thrifty citizens
and the metropolis of that portion of
the Marquette iron range.
1t is the intention to build model
community, patterned after the new
city of Coleraine, which the steel cor
poration is establishing at the west
ern end of the Mesaba region in Min
nesota
AS a step in that direction the Bos-
ton landscape architectural 6rm of
which Warren H. Manning is the
head, has been commissioned to sup
ervise the operations of the COM
pany's engineers in plating the town.
Building work will not commence
for some weeks, and IN the meantime
the streets will be laid out and other
preliminaries will be attended to.
The principal business thorough
fare will be eighty feet wide and the
residence streets but little less than
that
The improvements, such as street
building, waterworks system, and
electric light plant will be on an ade-
quate scale ,as it is anticipated that
the community will have rapid
growth and that within few years
it will have considerable popula-
tion
The streets and roads will be built
with solid foundation surfaced
with gravel
The surroundings win be made at
tractive and it is the company's in
tention to leave many of the trees
standing until such time as the
ground they occupy is needed for
building purposes.

Russians Troops Fire on Mutineers

Details of the mutiny of sappers
at Kiev show that it was suppressed
only after a bloody engagement at
midnight, June II, between the mu-
tineers and loyal troops, in which
about seventy men were killed or
wounded. Kiev is one of the cities
where revolutionary ideas have made
the greatest inroads on the army and
the revolutionary military organiza-
tion is very powerful. counting
among its members dozens of Off
GERS.
The mutiny was planned to coin-
eide with general political strike, as
a reply to the dissolution of Parlia-
ment involving the railroads, tele-
graph and mails. In several of the
southern provinces arrangements for
the strike had been making for
months under the leadership of an ex-
perienced organizer, M. Loskotj, who
was member of the first Parlia-
ment. The decision of the revolution
ary staff 1t St. Petersburg to refrain
from demonstrations was disobeyed
by the hot-headed sappers.

A Good Result.

Under the operation of the new
Pure Food Laws, baking powders
now generally bear on the labels a
statement of the ingredients. This is
of utmost importance because of the
harmful ingredients used in many
cases.
Eoyal Baking Powder is known to
be the only baking powder made oi
Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, and
this no doubt explains its greatly in
creased sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking
advantage of the protection which tbs
Laws afford, and are examining al
the reading matter on the back of the
label before adopting any brand fo'
use in the home.
When in place of the words Cream
of Tartar the words "alum" "alumin-
um" or phosphate of lime appear
among the ingredients. they heed the
warning and avoid baking powders
containing these substitutes.

Liberal" immigration Proposals.

The National Liberal immigration
League, which is opposed to such re-
strive proposals as an educational
test, head tax or a property qualifi
cation for aliens seeking admission at
our gates, and which has SO far linn
tied itself to negative policies-that
is, to agitation against specific meas
ures-states in the annual report it
has just issued that henceforth it will
endeavor to obtain certain results of
a positive character. 1t believes that
free immigration is a boon to the
country today as at any previous per-
iod, and that all the restrictive meth
DDS that have been proposed would
exclude desirable aliens without SER
iously incommoding the rea ly unde-
sirable ones. But at the same time it
believes that a good deal more thar.
has been done can and should be done
to bar out and rid the country of i'm
migrants who are known, or discover
ed after landing, to be undesirable.
1t holds for example, that all new
arrivals who become criminals should
be deported-as are those who be-
come paupers-instead OF being kept
in prisons and penitentiaries at the
expense of the community. 1t also
believes in lengthening to ten years
the period of probationary citizen
ship. While it says it is right to ad-
NIT men and give them opportunities
to earn livelihood. we are not bound
or called upon to confer citizenship
too freely. The title of citizen
should be conferred only upon those
who, by proper conduct and knowl-
edge of our institutions, have shown
themselves worthy of the privilege"
With these sentiments, at any rate.
the advocates of immigration restric-
'tion will sympathize. The Liberal
immigration League has among its
members such men az President
Eliot, Andrew Carnegie, Bishop Pot
ter, General Tracy President Wood
row Wilson and R. Fulton Cutting
and it certainly cannot be charged
with lack of devotion to the material
and moral welfare of the country.

Slay and Wound in French Riots.

Six persons were killed and scores
wounded in Norbonne late Thursday
in fresh outbreak of fighting be-
tween troops and revolving winegrow-
ers. Three were killed in rioting early
Thursday.
The departmental project at Aude
was killed by mob and the project
ure at Perpignan destroyed by fire
which was set and fed while the army
commander, instead of attempting TO
direct the troops against the frenzied
populace, pleaded with the people
from balcony to restrain them
selves.
Street fighting is still in progress
in Narbonne, according to press dis
patches. Early Thursday evening a
crowd Of winegrowers attacked de-
tective. He was rescued by thirty
Narbonne residents and carried to
the town hall. His rescuers asked
the officer commanding the troops to
receive the wounded detective,
whereupon an order was given and
the soldiers lined up ready to fire. At
least fifty shots were fired into the
rescuers and the mob following them
Of the nine killed at Narbonne,
one was a soldier and two others a
father and his daughter, who were
shot while seeking refuge in cafe.
Owing to the fact that a strict CEN
sorship is in operation in the south,
only brief items of news from the
scenes of the rioting had reached
Paris up to early Thursday after
noon. These, however, showed that
the conflicts which have taken place
between the troops and mobs were
more sanguine than at first suspected.
AT Narbonne Thursday morning
three persons were killed, and fully a
hundred soldiers and civilians includ-
ing a score of women, are said to
have been wounded, several of them
sustaining fatal injuries. The troops,
who were ordered to fire in the air,
shot straight, at the mob beseiging
them in the courtyard of the subpre-
lecture
Narborue is described as present
ing remarkable spectacle after the
nights battle. The paving stones

furniture having been usd for build
