MINING QUOTATIONS

Following are the quotations OF yesterday as
furnished by the Los Angeles-Nevada Mining
Charlevoix county herald., 1908-03-07
Cash Road Tax Law.

Some newspapers have told the
people through their columns that
now Earle has the cash road tax law
fastened onto the people 'the man
who lives on the by-road will not get
Il dollars worth of repairs, for the
township highway commissioner will
eXpend it on all on the main au- to mo-
bile-r-o ads"
The tru'h Of the matter is that
never In the history of Michigan did
the by-road taxpayer have such pro-
lection as he has under the cash road
tax law, for il says in the law-''the
road repair fund must be expended on
the roads directly benetitting the
property taxed" IL further says that
If ten taxpayers think that the COM
missioner Is not doing this, it Is their
right to protest 10 the township board
and the board must look into the mat
ter and decide which Is right, and Or
der how the work shall be done.
The bill is home-rule bill. giving
the townships the right To say how
much they will raise in both the road
repair and highway improvement
funds, although it limits the amount
OF each fund to one-half bf one per
cent.
The township board has the right
to borrow three fOurths of the fund
voted, SO the highway commissioners
can pay cash for work d0ne;0ne-fOurth
may be reserved for emergency repairs
and taking care of snow in the winter
time.
The highway commissioner can hire
men ia different sections of the town
ship to look after snow in winter and
pay them for their work.
1t would be wonder II man could
draw perfect bill the first time. and
Commissioner Earle does not expect
that he did, SO he asks the citizens of
the state to stand by the township
commissioners and help them along,
and when defects appear, TO write to
the State Highway Department and
tell where the law can be improved,
and why; but to write in a spirit of
interest to the state OF Michigan, and
not in spirit OF having general
kick coming.

ed in nomination the following gentle
men: President, II. l. Mcmillan; trust
ees ID. e. Goodman. M. A. Lemieux,
Harry Curkendall; clerk, e. A. Hud-
son; treasurer, j. III. Milford; assessor,
w. a. Pickard.
Both sets OF candidates represent
men W. are identified with East Jor-
dams business interests. but Of the
two tickets we believe the ''People's"
candidates should aud will be elected.
WIN?
Because our town is now without an
elected Village President and the
Office belongs to Mr.. Porter. He has
done more for the up-bulding of East
Jordan than any other one man in it.
Through MS efforts as active member
of the East Jordan Lumber Co. he Sc
cured last year the location in our
town Of two big industries-the Iron
Furnace aud Chemi cal Plant-and
which half dozen other towns were
working hard to secure. What this
las done for our town Is better told ia
the 1907 work of our Board of Trade
published elsewhere.
Because the election of the"Village"
candidate for president would create a
vacancy on our Council, as he is al
ready a trustee. and which that body
could fill without the consent or ap-
proval OF our voters. He should have
resigned the trusteeship and allowed
his ticket to place aNcandidate in the
vacancy.
And because the gentlemen COM
prising the Peoples Ticket are heavi-
lyNnteresed in our Business Interests,
who will work for the advancement of
our town in every way possible.
The nom nees. Mr.. Porter as Presi.
dent, and the Trustees, of the Peoples
Party are in favor as soon as practical
BILE OF constructing a system Of water
works on the west side OF our town, al
80 of extending the main line on the
the east side OF the town to Bowen's
Addition and elsewhere throughout the
city as necessity may require aud the
same shall be practicable.
The above gentlemen are also. in fav-
or of using every honorable means OF
inducing outside industries to locate
In our town.
Vote for them, Elect them and see
the town grow.

That Banquet
Was a Hummer and That
Is No Mistake.

The East Jordan Board of Trade
held their First Annual Banquet
Thursday evening at Loveday Opera
House, and II the second is any better
the management will have to go some.
The affair was strictly for the gentle
men but the handiwork OF the ladies
was everywhere manifest as were also
a few in person. The decorations and
tables were certainly works Of art and
those who had these in charge are de-
serving of much credit. The menu
was well prepared and the feast Of wit
and wisdom most excellent. The Or
chestra furnished excellent music, as

words. which were, nevertheless, to
the point.
:'The Work of 1908" was led off by
Prest. SQuier who' stated that we
would, in very few days, have pro-
position TO accept from firm who
wish TO place factory here and en-
ploy some % To 80 men. II the deal
went through, and it is more than
likely, we will have to raise $1,000
Now where will we get it? Several
good suggestions were made and pos
sibly we have SOLUTION to the prob
lem.
short addresses were also given by
Will Hampton and Mr.. Marting Of
CharlevOiX. the latter In the interest
of the West Michigan Sugar Co.
Two features Of the Banquet pro-
gram folder were retrospect OF 1907
and statement OF conditions as they
are at present. The matter is SO good

is their wont, and the flute solo bv
Jay Hite and vocal solo by B. A. Dole
was well received.
Following the opening selection by
the Orchestra, Ballard s Stein Song"
by chorus Of male voices was sung.
Rev. A. d. Grigsby pronounced the
invocation, and then came feast Of
goodies, served by the young men of
our Village. After the last course,
Pres. Squler introduced the Toast
master, Supt. II. II. Fuller in brief
talk on the Inception Of the Banquet
and its purposes. Mr.. Fuller gave
sundry reasons Of why he happened to
be selected to the honary position.
He stated that 1t was a representative
gathering of the laboring, merchant
and manufacturing interests and was
an occasion tor cOngratulation.
Atty A. B. Nicholas gave the Ad-
dress Of Welcome. in welcoming the
guests he stated that 1t was an occa-
sion for jubilee, and in addition it. was
not alone what the Board had done
but what they want in the future.
Atty j. e. Converse of Boyne gave
the response. He said, We are glad to
be here. We are not so large but what
we are interested. We are one Of you.
What helps one town, helps both. We
must break down the corners and get
cooperative spirit. There were
three classes Of meu undesirable for a
community's growth-.the mail order
buyer, the employee who knocks. and
the merchant who knocks. In con-
cludiug, Mr.. Converse stated that he
only hoped that our people were as
glad to see him as he was to ee them.
THE Pioneer Farmer" by Tho mas
f. Niles was pointed speech bring
ing out the necessity of closer relation
between the farmer and the business
man.
Atty L. f. Knowles of Boyn had
for his subject What know about
the Con Con-" That gentleman knows
a lot about the constitutional conven-
tion as he was our representative, and
his speech, while devoid OF fireworks,
dealt Interestingly with this impor.
tant subject.
"Material Organization for Indus
trial Progress" nv r. A. Stowe of
Grand Rapids was next on the pro-
gram. This speech was to the writer,
disappointment. He confined him
self altogether too much To tuDking
up little burg down on the G.. r. &
1. and talking Ia favor Of the open
shop-a feature which should have
been left out entirely.
In The Work OF 1907" f. A. Ken
yon as former secretary of the Board
read a statement showing the work of
last year, and short addresses were
given bYJ. w. Empey and A.E. Cross.
Pros. Atty T.. N. Clnk spoke upon

Charlevoix County produced more

Potatoes than any other county in

approximately $lO0.OO0O0 in cash
was paid out at East Jordan alone for
these two commodities besides large
amosnts for Seed Peas and general
Farm Produce.
Deep water vessels loaded at East

and 1878 400 Shingles.
Computed upon the capital stock
represented in the new industries ac
Qui RED during the year, and based on
the valuation OF East Jordan realty
as of Jan. 1907, East Jordan shows
for the year greater percentage OF
gain than any other town or equal or
greater size In Michigan.
More East Jordan Realty changed
hands In the last four months of 1907
than in the three years previous and
at from 20 per cent to 80 per cent high
er prices.
What has stimulated East Jordan
conditions in tile face Of adverse gen.
eral conditions?
Manifestly the presence of new in
dustries.
That the East Jordan Board of
Trade assisted materially In securing
the industrial acquisition Is conceded.
It's officers labored increasingly for the
upbuilding of the town; they carried
financial responsibilities which In the
conduct of their private business they
would not have assumed, and all this
has been done with no hope of COM
pensatiOn except participation in
the common good.
If you are a citizen of East Jordan
did you not receive a measure of the
good? II so, did you help to "beost"

II not, will you help Ia 1908?

HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.

There is nothing like advertis-
ing. All newspaper advertising
we'll repays the advertiser
Whether times are good or bad it
is wise to advertise. When prices
are low. many have the money
with which to purchase. Mer-
chants appreciate this fact; hence
bargains are the order of ,he day
at present in all the stores.
When stocks we're forced down
last winter in consequence of the
panic the low prices attracted at
tentIon all over the country. The
quotations were printed so extern
SIvely in the financial columns of
The newspapers that hundreds of
thousands OF investors of small
means took advantage of the Sit
Iation and purchased outright
ot on Margins few shares of
God dividend paying bonds. The !
ubliclty sold bonds and stocks |

was in deplorable state.
The pubic now reads more
newspapers than ever before.
There is scarcely man who does
not purchase several daily papers.
lie cannot overlook the advertise
ments. These attract his eve be-
cause OF the handsome typograph-

ing advertisements is the finding
out proper method to catch the
readers eyes,"
This is accomplished most sue
cessfully everywhere by trained
ad. writer's. These writers do
more than bald pleasing abver-
tISement-they convey in it very
valuable information. 1t would
not do for them to tell untruths.
for they would be soon discover

advertisements in any we'll reguIa-
ted and responsible newspaper
can be regarded as honest ones,

cial means, Boston Globe.
