General business continues on an
active scale" says Henry Clews in his
weekly letter. while there has been
Ia partial cessation in the launching Of
new enterprises, owing very largely to
conservatism of banking interests. the
productive capacities of the country
are still employed. There is an enor-
nous demand for all staple products
at good prices-the only let-up being
in the demand for luxuries. The de-
mand for iron is reviving and heavy
sales of pig iron are reported Labor
is we'll employed at good wages in all
parts of the country and this accounts
for the large consumption of many
staple articles. Throughout the inter
ior the optimistic spirit still prevails,
and the pessimistic wave so noticeable
in New York appears to have been un-
able to cross the Alleghenies. @

Under date of May 2lst, Supervising
Architect j. X. Taylor of the Treasury
Department, wrote Congressman Ford
ney as follows concerning the post
Office building in this city:
Replying to your letter of the 18th
instant, making inquiry as to the status
Of the drawings for the post Office build
ing to be erected at Owosso, Michigan,
attention is called to the fact that bids
for this building were opened at this
Office on March 21st, and all of them
were too high to receive consideration
under the amount available for tie
work. Under the terms on which these
bids were based stone faced building
was required in accordance with the
request containedin in your letter of April
18th, 1905; and while this office agrees
with you that that would have been de.
sirable, if the funds available would
have permitted such an arrangement,
the drawings have now been revised
showing the brick faced building with
terra Gotta trimmings, which will also
be found perfectly satisfactory.
The drawings and specifications for
this building having been completed,
the work will be readvertised in. the
near future, and it is believed that,
with the changes made, bids of such an
amount will be received that the work
of construction can proceed.

THAT MAPLE RIVER DRAIN.
Dissatisfaction IN MiddIebury over
Construction, Says Ovid Paper.

work of dredging the Maple River. II
is claimed that in Middlebury town.
ship especially, the work is not accord
ing to specifications as to depth or
width.
The county drain commissioner will
soon look the work over and he says il
he finds the dredging as it has been
represented to him, the company will
be obliged to go back and do certain
portions over again.-Ovid Register
Union.
If the Register had waited to investi-
gate it would have discovered that as
soon as the poor work was called to the
attention of Commissioners Boutwell, he
at once made personal inspection as
we'll as to order one made by County
Surveyor Joslin. The result was that
the Construction Co. was ordered to
take its dredge back to the point where
it was found that the drain had not
been dug as wide as the specifications
called for and to do the work properly.
1t was found that on one bank of the
Maple long row of trees had been cut
down some years ago and the stumps
were still in the ground and almost as
solid as when the trees were standing.
To avoid blasting these stumps the
work was slighted. However, the
stumps are out, the drain is fully as
wide as the contract provides for and all
parties are happy. Both Commissioner
Boutwell, and Surveyor Joslin state that
the construction work on the drain has
been done in good shape so far. About
a mile and half has been dug in
Middlebury.

So far as we have heard any express
sion on the part of local republicans il
is strongly opposed to any senatorial re
apportionment which will separate this
county and Ingham. The republicans
of the two counties have had good

make change it is hoped that some
county can be added to this and Ing

Twenty-one thousand immigrants re-
gently landed at the single port of New
York. from the countries of southern
Europe and elsewhere, and on another
day twenty thousand new home seekers
from foreign lands were unloaded at
the same port. Those are record
breaking single day totals and this
year as whole will eclipse all former
years. The rush just now is evidently
due to the fact that a change in our
immigration laws takes effect on the
coming first day of July. 1t would
have been well if some of the pro.
visions of this new law had become
effective many years ago. There would
probably have been fewer socialists here

The Senatorial Reappo. ticnment.

Reapportionment of the senatorial
districts is one of the duties incumbent
upon the legislature before it adjourns.
Two bills are pending, both of which
provide for number of changes in the
districts as now constituted. The
basis of representation is 1908 for
each district and on the present appor7
tionment fourteen are now above
and eighteen below the required ratio,
some of them having less than $4,000.
An absolute ratio cannot be devised for
each district, but better conditions
than now obtain can be arranged, as
well as to provide Wayne County with
a fifth senator, claimed on the basis Of
population. In each bill provision is
made for "divorcing" Ingham and
Shiawassee, for years comprising the
fourteenth district. Senator Blands
bill would make Ingham and Living
ston comprise the fifteenth district.
Senator Fullers bill would have Ing
ham, Livingston and Clinton make up
the thirteenth district. Neither OF
these arrangements, however, may re.
ceive approval. So far as Ingham is
concerned, 1t is very well satisfied with
its present arrangement, and if it must
be changed it will part from Shiawas-
see with regret. It's said that political
considerations are not involved in
either of the apportionment bills now
pending and that another in progress
of preparation will be similarly exempt.

Cadillac News and Express.
The Michigan state senate is having
quite a wrestling match with the
primary reform bill over the matter of
the 40 per cent requirement. The gov
ernor and his followers are extremely
anxious that this feature of the original
law be repealed so that under no circum-
stance would the matter of the nomi-
nation of a candidate for governor or
lieutenant governor go to a convention.
The Courier does not agree with the
governor, because should his ideas pre-
vail very small minority of the party g
vote could nominate if candidates were
numerous, while under the 40 per cent
provision now in force, unless some
candidate is sufficiently popular to
comm and at least 40 per cent of the

SUGGESTION IN TEACHING.

In nc other sphere of life or activ-
ity may the power of suggestion, or
mind influence ne used as profitably
and successfully as in teaching school.
TIE teacher who suggests sunshine
and cheerfulness to the receptive
minds Of children gives them a herit-
age that cannot be taken away.
Children can be led much more
easily than forced. The healthful,
hopeful mind Of teacher may tact
fully yet surely lead the way through
difficulties where coercion and force
would miserably fail.
Ry studying the minds Of children
the thoughtful teacher may make his
own work easy and may see rapid
progress among the pupils. By using
the secret forces with which nature
has stored the hearts and minds Of
