There have been some remarks made
In the upper peninsula press about the
candidacy OF Chase IS. Osborn for gov
ernor conflicting with that Of Hon. o.
b. Fuller for a second term as auditor
general. We cant see where there is
any conflict. Mr.. Fuller has been
chosen for first term and under all
the rules and usages Of the republican
party OF this state. where man
makes q good official the FIRST term he
/ conceded second term. Mr.. Os-
born's candidacy is not of his own
choosing. IL is the result OF demand
from all sections OF this peninsula that
the twelfth district be accorded the
governor for once In our history. II
Mr. Osborn wins sout IL will be in
general primary and by the votes of
the people OF the state. In that case
the upper peninsula cannot be charged
with selecting him as its one allot-
ment. Mr.. Fuller will be nominated
in a convention, according to present
outlook. and will be the upper PENN
ula's allotment in the state conven-
tion. We cannot see the conflict nor
can we see any manifestation of OPP
POSITION to the arrangement excepting
a remark made in the Escanaba Jour
nal that Delta county is opposed to
Osborn. We doubt the breadth given
to this statement. ascribing it to some
personality between the Journal and
Mr.. Osborn. rather than to the people
of Delta county. Delta has generally
been right aud will undoubtedly be
right in this matter

LIQUOR BILL AMENDED

heduction OF saloons 10 One 10 oOO TOpu'a'
ton Made Optional.
Except that the committee makes
optional the provision for the annual
reduction of the number OF saloons in
any district, the bill amending the
general liquor law Of the state will be
reported out Monday in the house
without amendment, says the Detroit
News
This Is the measure intro duced by
Representative Warner. OF Frankfort.
and includes all the good features OF
the old Ormsbee bill without ii multi
tudinous errors and inconsistencies In
the original Warner bill there was a
provision for the Limitation of saloons
to one for each 500 population. This
clause went farther by indicating that
where the number of saloons IS in ex-
cess OF this figure the council or board
must annually decline to grant licenses
to 10 per cent OF the total number Of
saloons, until the number is reduced to
meet the limitations of the law. The
committee changed his provision to
make 1t optional with the districts
affected. There is in the bin pro-
vision that 1t may be optional with
districts TO decrease the limit number
TO one to each ]. 900 of population.
The committee had two bills under
consideration. The Cramton bill was
the second. drawn by the representa-
tive from Lapeer, to make good his
promise during the fight on the Orms-
bee bill that he would draft measure
including the good points OF the
Ormsbee bill and in keeping with the
ideas OF the conservatives on the liquor
traffic question. He did not urge the
measure.
The Warner bill meets with univer-
sal satisfaction. There are some oil
the liquor people objecting, but in the
main IL seems TO be considered fair,
common sense measure calculated C
do much toward unraveling the tangl'
into which the state has been precipi
tated through tax liquor regulations

PORCuP|ME PEST AND
 FORESTRY SERVICE
A Matter That Is Already Receiving the Close Attention of the
 Government.

w. C. Barnes, chief of grazing of the forest service. who is visiting here with friends, said his attention had been called to a recent article iH The Republican. clipped from another news paper. describing the devastation of the Alaskan forests by porcupines. The article was published originally as an interesting news feature and recom- mended that the forest service under take a warfare against porcupines at once in the hope of saving a vast amount of valuable timber in Alaska.
 Concerning ths article MT. Barnes says the facts related as to the de- structiveness of the porcupine were correct. only they did not go far enough. The little animal is doing a great deal more damage than the article indicated and in a great many places beside Alaska Right here in Arizona. for instance. up in the Tonto country. acres and acres of young trees are injured or killed annually by DOT cupines.
 But the intimation that the forest service is not alive to the facts is entirely wrong, said Mir. Barnes. On the contrary a great deal of attention is being paid to the porcupine pest and the handling of it. in this part of the country at least. is one of the duties of MT Barnes official position. He says that the forest rangers are in structed at all times to destroy the pesky porcupines wherever they can be found and they are provided with poison. traps and ammunition for that very purpose. IL is to be as far as possible q war of eradication. and the rangers are to leave no stone unturned to kill the varmints They either cir cle or strip the bark From young trees to an extent that is in some places quite alarming.
 Half the residents of Arizona prob ably never saw porcupine, or at most only a very few of them. and there are doubtless many citizens who would be surprised to learn that the animal is found in this country at all. Nor are there many of them in this part of it. though in years past one has been occasionally been brought to Phoenix. Such incidents, however. are so rare that a porcupine on exhibition in a Phoenix window would be a real attraction.
 The porcupine. says MT. Barnes. is a very retiring sort of an animal. He seems to know that he is not wanted in the best society and takes all pos sible precautions to keep out of it. Moreover his destructive tastes are such that he wants to be let alone in his work, for he seems to know that fault will be found with it. Even in the forest country the animal is often hard to locate until the evidence of his whereabouts is seen on the parked trees in the vicinity. but wherever a colony of them is located it is the first duty of the forest ranger to eX- terminate it by whatever method he deems most effective.

This undertaking has been well
considered and men of experience
have given it their endorsement
Those who are associated with Mr..
Hobart fairly cover the whole omhe

to find purchasers for these orchard
tracts will not be a difficult matter.
This colonization undertaking means
much to Josephine county and Grants

Alaskans into this section will be a
decided advantage, for as a rule they
are men of means and enterprise and
no better citizens can be found. We
