II Wouldn't "K.punk."

Wednesday afternoon Messrs- ]. C.
Campbell and Lewis Mason, joint part
ners in the newly built gasoline launch,
made the first test of their craft. Aft
er securing the assistance Of John Lixy
and others and reading and thoroughly
digesting the rules and regulations, an
attempt was made to sail the boat, but
greatly to the surprise Of the owners,
after giving the drive wheel the re-
quired three turns, and the repeated
question by Captain Campbell if the
"carboraror" was full, 10 and behold II
wouldn't ''K-punk."
After repeated efforts and the rais-
ing of numerous blisters on the hands
of each one interested, the engine sud-
denly "k-punk"ed and went 1T race
horse speed in q backward direction,
coming in contact with Q dead head
and putting the whole works on the
bum. The launch was hauled ashore
for repairs and future developments
are being watched with eagerness-

LUMBER CUT
In United States For Last Year 0vel
Forty Million Feet.

The bureau Of the census, with the
assistance Of the forest service Of the
department Of agriculture, has fol-
some years collected statistics concern.
ing the annual production of forest
products and the preliminary totals fol
the cut of lumber, lath and shingles
for the year ending December 81, 1907,
have just been made public.
Unusual Importance is attached to
the reports for the past year, that
show that the aggregate cut of lumber
in the United States increased from
81, SOL million feet board measure in
1906 to 40,256 million feet in 1903
gain of 2, 705 million feet or " per cent.
For lath and shingles the total produc-
tion was 1854 million and 1850 million
r r,spectively in 1907, as against 8, 81S
million and II, 858 million, respectively
ia 1906 decrease of 149 millions, OF
39 per cent in lath and an increase of
81 million, or $40 of one per cent in
shingles. The number of mills report
ing in 1907 was %, $50 while in 1905 the
cut of q, 398 mills was covered.
The substantial increase in the total
production Of lumber in 1907 as compar-
ed with 1906, in spite Of the financial
str.n yency which measurably affected
most lines of manufacture during q
part of the latter year, is remarkable,
and especially SO in view of certain well
known local causes which also operated
during the whole or part Of the year
to reduce the output of the region
affected. Aside from the car shortage,
which necessated a restriction of the
cut in many localities during the earlier
month of the year, the fact that the
industry of lumber manufacture was
practically suspended on the Pacific
coast early in the fall on account OF
the prospective raise in freight rates
by the railroads which handle the
product of the mills in this region
materially affected the amount of out
put.
Furthermore, steady decline from
year to year is to be expected in the
lake states, because of the rapid ex
haustion of their lumber supply. II
the southern states, however-th
principal producers of lumber during
recent years-local conditions were sub
stantially normal, but the effect of th'
business depression obtaining through
out the whole country during the latte
part of 1907, while somewhat obscuret
may nevertheless be discerned in tn,
showing for that region.

A Lively Runaway

Tuesday afternoon Will. Lompre,
of Baraga, had an experience and one
which he does not care to repeat.
He in company with a young lady
from that place were driving on the
road leading toward Skanee and when
about one mile from Lame, the ami
NAL became frightened and made a
dash for liberty.
Lompre endeavored to quiet the
horse and the young lady seeing it was
becoming unmanageable jumped from
the carriage and escaped injury. Her
companion did not fare as well. He
clung to the animal until it had freed
itself, and was dragged some distance
along the road. In the mixup his nose
was broken, and cut received on the
on the chin which necessitated several
stitches to close. That he escaped with
his life is q miracle.

Thomas Leslie, q convict at the Mar
quette prison, was taken to Negaunee
Wednesday morning by Deputy Warden
Catlin for 1.-THE purpose Of opening the
safe at the South Shore depot, which
for some reason the agent was not able
to unlock. Leslie who is spending q
considerable period at the Marquette
institution for expert work in the safe
opening line, quickly demonstrated that
lack of.practicelhad not caused him to lose
his cunning in juggling with refractory
combinations and locks, and after q
short interval he had the South Shore
strong box opened. Leslie Is the hospital
stewart at the prison, and one Of the
best liked, both by men and officers,
inmates Of the institution.

County Politics simmerins.

During the present week there has
been gentle whispering among the
various candidates for county Offices to
be elected at the coming election in
November.
Among those who perhaps is fore
most in open declaration Of intention,
we note that of Atty. Joseph J. O'Con-
nor, of L'Anse, who seeks nomination
on the Republican ticket for Prosecut-
ing Attorney for Baraga county.
w. L. Mason, who for the past six
years has successfully filed the Office,
has stated that he will give Mr.. O'Con-
nor his entire support in his efforts to
obtain the Office, and so far as we can
learn an active campaign in his behalf
has been started throughout the county.
Mr.. O'Connor is member Of the law
firm of Mason & O'Connor, being the
junior partner. His education and
training has been very thorough, and
the six years of his work as an attorney
in the county has been successful and
praiseworthy.
He is young man of unquestionable
character, with plenty of ambition and
high ideals. and enters the political
field well equipped, having, should he
receive the nomination and support of
the voters, the able assistance and ad-
vice of his senior partner, who retires
in his favor, from Office at this time, in
matters Of greatest importance, which
coupled with his already wide expert
ence in the practice of law will make,
we feel, one Of the best officials within
the county.
Mr.. O'Connor is quoted as saying,
''that if am elected prosecutor ! will
make an earnest effort not to disap-
point in any way the expectations Of
my friends. ! appreciate the import
ance of this Office and it should be CIV
en- the most careful and constant atten-
ton. will earnestly and faithfully
perform the duties of this Office if am
nominated and elected. and therefore
solicit the support of the voters, and
feel that in the division of the various
Offices among the present candidates
being such as they are, L'Anse is en-
titled to the prosecuting attorneyship." "

Gives Friends An Outing.

Monday evening Mr.. and Mrs. John
o. Maxey entertained number of
their L'Anse friends to delightful
boating party in honor of their guest
Mrs. Maxey's mother.
About the time set for the boat to
leave threatening squall came up and
and number of the more timid ones
did not dare to make the trip, but
shortly after the launch had left, the
storm cloud passed away, and those
remaining ashore did so with regret.
The trip included stops at Keweenaw
Bay and Pequaming, and it was about
10 o'clock when the returning signal of
the launch Cora B. was heard to ap-
proach the dock. The event is spoken
of as having been a most delightful one.

1t is rumored in some portions of the
state that an Agricultural Chart Ped
dler" Is abroad in the land. He comes
to the school board telling them that
agriculture must be taught in the
schools, that his chart is absolutely
necessary to teach the subject, etc.
If he comes into this county put him
in the hay field and give him some
practical agriculture, but do not buy
his chart. The chart has been reported
ITO sell" for A7 plus. This chart bus
iness Is q humbuk and y0u need not be
afraid to tell him 90.
If he gets angry laugh ut him, go to
the nearest telephone and report his
name and wares to the comfy superin-
tendent. A school board that buys the
article will have to pay for it out Of
their own pockets. If he says that II
is recommended by the state or county
superintendent his recommendation is
forged and he ought to be prosecuted.

FRAUD ASSERTED IN
DEAL FOR TOWNSHIP
Plaintiffs Aver They Were Induced to
Purchase Property in Nevada
Mining Town Through Miss
representations

Suit for the recovery of $500,
claimed to have been paid for an in
terest in the Johnnie townsite, Nye
county, Nevada, and for $25OO damages
was filed in the superior court yester-
day by William Wismar F. F. Wis
mar and Mary L. Wismar of San Pc
dro against II. R. Cowan, real estate
agent of Los Angeles.
The Wismars claim they were in
duced to purchase part of Cowan's in
terest in the townsite on a representa-
ton that a number of fine buildings
had been constructed and others were
being built, that the place was growing
fast and valuable copper deposits were
owned by the townsite company. The
transaction was made in the latter
part of 1906, but the Wismars say it
was not until May that they learned
things had been misrepresented and
that instead of the attractive buildings
and improvements there were only a
few miners shacks.
Mr. Cowan, speaking of the suit,
said there had been no misrepresenta-
ton Il own a large interest in the
TOWNSHIP" he said, land the transact
ton, so far as 1 was concerned, was
carried out in good faith. Building
material was on the ground and prep
arations were almost completed to
erect business houses. For some rea-

Has Other Business of
Importance

Mayor Harper again refused to maze
a deposition before a notary yesterday
in connection with the second libel suit
he has filed against the Express and
Edwin T. Earl. The mayor, with his
four attorneys, was at the office of Mo-
tary Arthur e. Bagley promptly at 10
o'clock Mr. Earl, with his counsel,
was also present, as were a number of
reporters, stenographers and photog-
raphers.
Attorneys representing the mayor
Immediately objected to the presence
of any person not connected with the
proceedings. The same objection was
made Wednesday, when the mayor was
asked to give his deposition in his first
libel suit. His request that outsiders
should be excluded was not acceded to
then, but it was yesterday. After the
reporters and others had been sent
from the room the mayor again re-
fused, on the advice of counsel, to be
sworn, on the ground, it is believed.
that he was a witness before the grand
jury. 1t is probable he will be cited
again to appear in court on an order to
show cause why he should not answer
questions propounded to him by the
attorneys for the evening paper and
its publisher
The grand jury will meet again to-
morrow morning. and part of its time
may be given up to consideration of
the protected vice investigation. Other
matters, however, will receive the
greater share of it's attention, as Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks, in charge of
the investigation, expects to be absent
from the jury room on other business.
Whether the jury will continue the in
Vestigation may be decided Monday.

other Spring street resort, which is
the SWEETEST billiard and pool parlor in
the west. Bob Lacey will be in charge
of the new place.
Harry Burt strutted around Spring
street yesterday like brand new pea
cock in a strange land. He had just
received his second new American tour

a "sta bic" of autos that ranks as about
the biggest in the southwest, as he
still has his Royal Tourists and other

and framed it around the picture, then
wrote his message of greeting to the
retired and unbeaten king of pugilistic
kings. 1t was a graceful act of Fitz
and is highly priced by Jeff, who has
put the horseshoe and two other photos
of Fitz on his back bar, where the
