Was Yesterdays Stock Market-Lat-
ter Part of Session Letharec
Changes Trivial.

New York, March 1S.-The early
stock market today developed a good
deal Of playing for position on the
part of the professional element which
made the market active yesterday
after the new tariff bill was offered
in congress. These tentative opera
tiGas failed to demonstrate the exist
ence of any outside dealings and they
were given over as the day pro
gresscd, leaving the later market in
almost as lethargic a condition as
that of last week.
The publication Of tho items of
the bill as it comes from the ways
and means committee of the house
seems not to have relieved the spec
ulative apprehension that business
will be held in check in all lines un-
til the final form of the act Is le-
termined. That many weeks will he
consumed in arrivink at that determ-
nation with the best efforts to eX-
pedite is not gainsaid dhy the nest
hopeful
clined to adjust its views to the prob
able period of inactivity in its bust
ness in sympathy with the waiting
attitude of general business. The
first dealings today showed a sharp
rise in prices Yesterday had brought
some selling orders into the market
The decline in prices which resulted
again developed a demand from un-
covered shorts. Still later efforts to
bid up prices against the bears again
met sufficient selling orders to hold
the market in check.
The amount of space given to the
questioning the state of
Il. H. Hartman health and discus
sing the alleged and subsequently
intention of that gen
tleman- to retire would have been
food for sensation in a more inflam
mable state of speculative sentiment
but the matter was passed over

Western reorganization evidently 10

stocks, and they continued to de-
cline todaq. Reports of an intended
conference among the copper pro
luccrs to concert measures for cut

Thinks the Canadian Northwest All
Right.

In a letter to The Times, Russell
Marvin, a former resident of this
county, gives his views concerning
the Canadian northwest. Mr.. Mar
vim has resided in that territory for
three years and seems to be entirely
satisfied His letter is under date of
April "a and is written from Spring
Coulee, Alberta, near which place he
says there is a quite a settlement Of
Slhiawassee and Saginaw county peo-
pie, and many settlers from Michi-
gan, Iowa, Illinois and North Dakota
whom the Canadian government in
an official report state are the most
successful farmers. Land that was
sold in 1906 for from $500 to $500
an acre now commands from $500
to $500; the average price Of
wheat in 1907 was from 20 to 90c.
and in 1908 from soc to $1.0O; the
average yield per acre last year was
80 bushels. The Canadian Pacific
railway is arranging to erect large
elevators at Vancouver, B. c., TO
store wheat for shipment to foreign
countries and it is believed this will
mean an increase in price of from
FIVE to seven cents a bushel for grain
grown in Alberta. The new Grand
Trunk Pacific line will he completed
from Fort Williams to Edmonton in
1910 and this will mean the opening
for settlement of large acreage of
land which can be had at very low
price-it is good land, too. Spring
work opened on the 10th of March
and the farmers have nearly all their
grain sown. We had some cold
weather last winter Shall be pleas
ed TO tell any of my Shiawassee
friends about this country.

Anti-SaIoOn Meetings Largely At
tended and Much Interest
Shown.

The battle for the adoption of To-
cal option was opened in this county
on Sunday with a series of meetings
held under direction of the State
Anti-Saloon League and great inter-
est was shown at all of the gather
ings. The sentiment for local option
is so strong that the preliminary
work to secure the necessary sigma
lures to the petitions to be submit
ted to the board Of supervisors in
October will be easily done and with
an early start all the steps can be
taken in the most careful manner,
thus avoiding some of the mistakes
made in other counties.
The addresses on Sunday were
very satisfactory from every point
of view and vastly different from the
old-style temperance talks when
throwing against liquor dealers
was the principal stock in trade. The
aim of the speakers Sunday was to
arouse sentiment against the busi-
ness, to show its evils and the suffer-
ing ii entails.
Meetings were held as follows:
Baptist and Emmanuel Baptist
churches, addressed by Prof. f. S.
Goodrich of Albion college; First M.
E. and at Burton, j. s. Crandall, De-
trot; Evangelical and at Maple River

To pairymen Of shiawassee County

In the Bulletins Nos. 1876 and 1876,
issued by the State Dairy and Food
Department, are shown the results of
the "Cow Testing Associations" for the
year, and it is shown that many dairy
men are keeping cows in their herds,
that are preventing the entire herd
from showing a profit and if others
have been deceived in the value Of their
COWS, it is reasonable to expect that
many are laboring under the same con-
ditions.
We are anxious to see any and all
dairymen succeed, and we invite you
whether one of our patrons or not, to
bring in samples of each cows milk.
and we will test them out free OF
charge. You should be willing to put
your time against ours, and the time
spent, may mean several dollars to you,
besides the satisfaction of knowing just
what kind of cows you have.
Your markets in this.county are such
that your returns are based on the
amount of butter.fat you produce, and
in order to receive the best results, you
should look after the test of your indi.
yidual cows, as well as the amount OF
milk she produces.
1t is not always the COW. that gives
the largest flow of milk that nets you
the most money. the same may be said
of a high test, for she may be Civ.
ing small amount of milk, but
cows with good flow of, high testing
milk are the cows you should aim to
keep, and the assistance we are willing
to give you, is just what will enable
you to bring about the results
This same plan is what has brought
the Elgin district up to its high stand
ing, as dairy section, and we hope to
see this county reach the same stand
ing in this state.

City Buys Valuable Lot.

At Mondays council meeting, the
special committee reporting favorably,
it was decided to purchase the lot next
to the city hall from w. ID. Burke,
paying 5000 in yearly installments of
$1O0 up to the fifth year, the balance
due being paid at that time.
This will give the city chance
to construct with little cost a
proper city hall in good loca-
tion and provide every necessity
in the way of Offices, fire depart
ment rooms, storage rooms, etc. The
lot is worth several hunded dollars
more than the purchase price now and
will increase in value as the necessity
for more business blocks increases.
