The work also includes the act incor- porating the new society of the de- scendants of the signers.

ping Ice to Southern Cities.
FIFTY MEN ARE EMPLOYED


For the first time in years if. ever
ice.dealers of Southern Michigan cities
have come to Alma for their ice.
The lakes and rivers in the southern
part of the state have not frozen
sufficient to make merchantable ice.
and as the season is rapidly drawing
to a close. dealers have been hustling
around for places where the CONCEALED
product could be procured.
Mr.. Leonard has contract with
the Ann Arhor CITY Ice Co. for 100
cars of ice. and as manv more can be
sold as he can cut load and ship.
He has force of men az work and
has already shipped 81 cars of the big
order. The ice in the pond was
thick and as clear as crystal, cakes
weighing 2S0 pounds each are being
loaded into the cars. which are being
filled to their utmost capacity
Goeorge Hodgkinson has contracts
with the Lake Ice Co. of Ann Arbor.

The forestry department of M. A. G.
is rejoicing over the announcement
from Washington that the government
has set apart 1874. 900 acres of its pub
lie domain in Michigan for forestry
purposes. A'large part of this joins the

Pres. j l.. Snyder. The college spent
several hundred dollars in preparing a
map showing feasibility of such a
plan. Pres. SNYDER with this map
talked the matter over personally with
National Chief Forester Clifford H.
Pinchot He also en- listed the support
of Michigan United States senators
and congressman.
The man prepared by the college was
copied and used AS an official map by
the national government. The orig
inal map is now with the forestry
department at the college. While the
land is mostly sandy barren and con.
tains very little timber except Jack
pine. if it can be properly psroled the
growth of hardwood timber and pine
will be quite large in the future.
The government will no doubt insti-
tute system OF protection which may
be carried on in conjunction with the
