The Michigan College Of Mines to-
day commenced its twenty fourth year,
when the fall term of twelve weeks
was commenced. There is an unusual
ly good enrolment of students and il
is expected all previous attendance
records will have been broken. Stu
dents have been arriving in Houghton
for the past several days and all is in
readiness for the taking up of actual
work today
The college nominaly opened last
Thursday when registration for the
fan term started, but not until today
were there any regular sessions. All OF
the faculty are on hand and by to-
morrow evening everything will be
well under way.
Following a policy mapped out two
years ago the oldtime hazing of fresh
men has been abolished and while
there viii be a few harmless pranks
played, the students are above the old
time foolishncss. In about two weeks
the annual class rush between fresh
men and sophomores will be pulled off
on the college campus, after which the
students viii get down to work in real
earnest.

TOWNSHIP DEFOoITORIES.
Last Legislature Authorized Boards to
Designate Them by Resolution,

At the same time the last legisla
ture authorized county boards of SUI
pervisors to designate an official de-
pository, or repositories. for county
funds, it also provided that every
township should have one or more de-
positories for township moneys. the
township board being authorized to
provide for them by resolution.
The banks designated by the town
snip board as repositories must be in
the county where such township is
located and must give sufficient bonds
approved by the township board. De-
POSTS must not exceed 100000 in any
depository and any sums deposited in
a depository must not be in excess of
the bonds given. II is the duty of the
township treasurer to see that this
provision is observed, otherwise he and
his bondsmen are liable for the ex-
cess in case of loss.
All sums deposited must be in such
shape that they may be open to pub
lie Inspection. In case of failure of n
Dahk where township moneys are kept
the law provides that the township
treasurer or his bondsmen are not La
BILE, except in cases of excessive de-
posits.

BOATS PUNCHED DOWN LAKES
Result is Some Exciting Races Be-
tween Craft Headed Northward.

The most noticeable feature the past
week In marine circles is the remark
able falling off IN the number of ar
rivals each day. The boats have be-
come punched at the other end of the
lakes, as they were here some time
ago, and 1t Is probable that when they
do begin to arrive along about the
hrst OF the week, they will come in a
ncct, says the Duluth Herald. When
the boats are punched in this way
there are usually some exciting races
up tho lakes, not alone TO see who
shah first get 10 the dock. but because
there Is certain rivalry between the
captains as to who has the fastest
boat.
Grain Is now taking all the spare
tonnage on the lakes and all the boats
are busy. Some time ago n number of
boats were chartered for October ship
ping, and these boats are now taking
care OF their contracts. Just at this
time, due to the punching of the boats
down the lakes. there is not much ac-
tivity along the local harbor front.
either in the matter of shipping ore or
grain. The first OF the week will be-
gin the big rush and from that time
on until the middle OF December there
Will be no rest for the vesselmen.
