Flanagan made. which win remove
from active practice one of Michigan's
most brilliant and forceful lawyers.
The upper peninsula has long de-

one man all factions have implicit con-
fidence in and but for his modesty he
would have been nominated for the
supreme bench
Mr. Flanagan has just rounded the

lieves that there are other things in life
besides money.

SUGGESTS BURNING FOR
OLD TIMBER SlAShIkGS
Wisconsin State Forester Advo-
Gates Plan to Remove Dan
ger of Fires.
LAW COULD BE APPLIED HERE


IL. +. w. Griffith, state forester OF
WISCONSIN. who has given the preser-
walton OF forest products considerable
study since the big forest fires during
the summer of 1908, advocates the
burning of all hemlocS ana pine slash
ings left by lumbermen in the Forests
, of that state. As the forest conditions
in wisconsin are practically Identical
with those in Northern Michigan, Mr..
@ Grinith's recommendations are of N
terest in this region:
Mr. Griffith believes that the burn
ing of the slashings would be :he most
effective means of preventing disas-
trous fires. He has found that most of
the fires have originated i'm cut-over
districts where the slashings have bcea
left to. dry. Mr.. Griffith has recon-
mended to the legislative committee
on water power forestry and drainage,
the drawing up, OF "A law that VIII
make the burning of slashings ,om-
pulsory.
The state forestry was questioned as
TO the expense of burning the slash

1000 square feet of territory would
be an outside figure. He recommend
ed that the state forestry board expert
ment by burning slashings on sec
ton. or half section. and thus gain an
idea of the cost Of the work.
Mr. Griffith declares himself strong
~ in favor of the state of Wisconsin
retaining possession OF all the water
power rights it now owns IL says
the state should refuse to grant dam
franchises unless given control as a
consideration. The state, he declar-
ed, should retain all the rights it stu
possesses.
The state forester's arguments telG-
tive to the burning of slashings We're
so forcible that it is now expected that
the legislature will pass at its forth
coming session a law making this
work compulsory on the part OF the
lumbermen. This question has been
discussed by number Of the heavy
timber operators in both Northern WIS
consin and the upper. peninsula for
more than a year past and IL is said
that many Of them are ready to Cos
operate with the state officials.

Cherry. H., Dec. 13.--Just what con-
stltutes, the .main shaft of a mine,
whether IL be n shaft LITTLE used or
one by which the main work is carried
on will have an important bearing IN
fixing the responsibility for the recent
mine horror. Direct charges that the
intent of the law. which provides mat
the air shaft of a mine must be re-
moved from the main shaft at least n
distance of 800 feet was violated have
been made by officials of the United
Mine Workers of America. II is also
charged that the company violated the
law in building a stairway of wood.

of the disaster IL is alleged, lay i'm the
use of the two shafts i'm the Cherry
mine. The main shaft. although sunk
to the level of the third vein was not
used ms q main shaft below the second
vein. The only means Of access tn the
third vein by way of the main shaft
lay in small cage which was attached
