WHY EGGS ARE HIGH

People in and about here were
wondering why the price of eggs did
not go lower this spring than about
Is cents. They usually go down to
Is and did several years ago sell as
low as II. The following dispatch
from New York City telling of the
storing of 45,OOO,000 of them may
help the explanation:
Forty million eggs have been
shipped into this city since April
and placed in cold storage by the
warehouse men, to remain there until
the high prices of last winter are
duplicated. The eggs come mostly
from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio
They were purchased at an average
price OF from 23H to "a cents a dozen
Two cents a dozen is added to cover
insurance storage, costs, etc, which
brings the total cost up to about e
cents a dozen.
"If the eggs can be retailed in New
York next winter at as cents a dozen
which they fetched last winter, there
will be a profit of l9 cents a dozen, OF
a total of over $700,OOO"

Louis Recognizing its possibilities
and needs, he cast his lot with the
new town, bringing with him not only
capital, but also a trained business
Judgment which has often guided in
vestments, equally prosperous to him
self and to the village. His first ven
ture was the opening of the Chicago,
Saginaw & Canada railroad. When
eastern capitalists failed in their obi
cations, and the road was thrown into
a receivership, he himself leased and
operated it, building extensions, inn
proving its rolling stock, establishing
telegraph lines, blazing the way for
the L. s. mail and the American Ex-
press, more than any other man max
ing possible through railroad from
Saginaw to Grand Rapids.
Col Elwell was the first president
OF the First National bank, twice
president of the village, a hearty and
liberal supporter of Emanuel church,
a stockholder in the sugar factory
and owner OF many city residences.
And although in recent years i'll health
compelled him to retire from active
participation in business, he retained
up to his death an active interest in
all public matters.
"In 1857 he married Catherine Jen-
kins. To this union four children
were born: Mrs. w. w. Collin, OF
Buffalo, n. Y. Susan Ann. who died
in 1902 Mrs. F. Edgar Farley, OF

honest and upright citizen, a good
neighbor and kind father.

HAS MONEY GALORE
State Treasurer Shows Balance OF
$l,70S,5O2.86 in General Fund.
GRAND TOTAL OF >s6,320.706.70
State Not Compelled to Borrow Money Until
December, Perhaps Not Then

The state of Michigan is still in the
million-dollar class, according to the
monthly statement issued Friday,
which shows balance on hand in the
general fund of $l,708,502S6. During
the month the Agricultural college
drew out its college interest fund,
which amounted to $23,l09.49.
There remains a balance in the
treasury credited to the primary
school interest fund of $47l ,3906l,
which will be increased an additional
$ll1,000 by the addition of the taxes
paid by the Michigan State Telephone
company Thursday.
So far this year there has been paid
from the general fund a grand total
of $6,32O,70670. The primary school
interest fund is not far behind, how
ever, as a total of S5 ,662, ,656.06 has
been paid from that fund to the vari-
Gus school districts in the state. Dep
uty John Haarer, of the treasurer's
office, stated that Michigan will not
be compelled to borrow money until
some time in December, or perhaps
not then, as the present condition of
the treasury is better than it has been
in some time.
1t is said that the next legislature
will try to amend the laws so that
the expenses incurred from the col
lection Of taxes from the railroads,
telegraph and telephone companies
will be paid out of the fund deriving
the benefit of the same.
