I'VE find the tendency within the state,

toward increasing the pow-r Of the larger

Il have thought that we are. perhaps,
given a little too much in these latter
days to pushing aside old and familiar
principles in quest OF new and some

does not always fit new conditions in
our marvellous development we shall find
that the old principles may be very well

DIVISION OF CIRCUIT
MEETS OPPOSITION
Bill. pRoposES TO ANNExlRoN ANo
DICKINSON To GO6EBlc CIRCUIT
WOULD Be GREAT INCONVENIENCE
Proposition is Counter to Geographical
Location and to the Railroad
Convenienoes.

The people Of Iron coanty are arons-
ed over the division Of the 25th Judi
cial circuit proposed in bin intro
duced in the legislature last Friday
and criticisms are heard on every
hand.
The division proposed is TO make one
circuit OF the counties of Marquette.
Delta, Menominee and Schoolcraft ana
10 annex the counties OF Dickinson
and Iron to the present Gogebic cir
cult which embraces at present the
counties Of Geogebic and Ontonagon.
The kick against the proposed re-
districting is that the two counties on
the Menominee range are made
portion of a circuit wholly distinct
from them by geographical location,
oeniers Of population and railroad con
nections. Gogebc and Ontonagon
counties are off by themselves in the
northwest corner OF the peninsula
The railroad connections are such that
all portions OF that district are in
comparatively close touch with one
another. Dickinson and Iron counties
are segregated in the southwestern
corner of the peninsula. The centers
OF population are to the south and the
railroad facilities are, therefore designed
TO make communication between these
centers easy and rapid. Between the
two sections, the MeDominee range and
the Gogebic range. there Is stretch
OF uninhabited territory nearly 100
miles in length, traversed by but a
single railroad over winch one passen-
ger train per day is operated and that
train is run at hours that are extremely
inconvenient for travel This connec-
tion is sufficient for the slight inter
course there is now in business be-
tween the sections but altogether in
adequate tor convenience in closely re-
lated business such as would arise
should this section be thrown into a
