THEY STAKED TIE
 ETHEREAL BLUE

Jack Merritt and Johnny Beaton two of the best known miners and operators of the district returned early last week from a trip ot obser- vation on the upper Iditarod where they went ill the hope of landing on some real live gold property, They found some that locked good but it all belonged to somebody else,-in fact, as expressed by Mir. Merritt, the country is staked from Hell 10 breakfast. y
 They liked the looks of Little creek, but say that the prospecting work is very limited. They have excellent prospects but when they attempted to take prospecting lays and options on ground that had not been touched, they tound them selves up against a new game of frenzied finance that demands all the money before anything has been discovered,
 Many people are going ill and the country is due for a thorough prospecting with every chance that these pioneers will open up big placer section.

THESE TWO WILL go
 BEFORE GRAND JURY

Charged with having hypothi- cated merchandise to the extent of SIPS from the Str. Reliance. down river, B. B. Heminger and E. Er- burn, have been bound over to the grand jury awaiting investigation as to whether or not there is evi- dence enough to hold them for grand larcenry.
 According to the allegations against the two men, they are re- sponsible for the disappearance of varied amounts of groceries from the commissary of the steamboat on which they were employed as mem bers of the galley force.
 When arraigned before Commis- sioner Maltby, they declined to plead and waived examination. This brings them before the grand jury when that body meets ill Fair banks. In the meantime, their bail is fixed at $5ooo each.

The political sensation of the present senatorial campaign in Washington was sprung in Seattle on Sept. 1st, when Harry Kilduf. a well-known worker in labor circles before the Central Labor Council charged Chas Miller, also prominently connected with labor unions with offering him $500 if he would work for Judge Thomas A. Burke for senator. It is thought that this action will defeat Burke in the primaries as the Central Labor Council controls 2,000 votes in the city.

ATHLETIC MEET
EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE BY
LAURIUM BUSINESS MEN TO
CONDUCT SPORT MEET
ON FIRST STREET.

Arrangements are being fmade TO
hold bicycle races, foot races, md other
athletic sports on First street, Laur-
ium in the very near future. The plan
has been under consideration by a
number OF prominent First street res
idents for some time anda definite date
will probably soon be annoupced.
One of the features will likely be a
motorcycle race. There are a number
of these machines located in Calumet,
and as some of the owners are anxious
to test out their speed 1t is proposed
TO arrange a race, and offer. substan-
tial prizes. Foot races would no doubt
be a strong drawing card, as would
bicycle races.
Other Laurium residents have been
planning an athletic meet to be held at
the Laurium driving parry next month,
and there is some prospect that it will
be pulled off. However, the promoters
of the meet have not as yet arranged
satisfactory terms with the owners of
the park, and until this is done, moth
ing definite. can be determined.
The idea OF. holding Q. public meet on
First street or some other suitable
street in Laurium is meeting with
much approval among the businessmen
and others residing there. 1t is be-
lieved that it will be the means of
attracting to Laurium large crowds
Business men would profit. and the
athletic spirit would be encouraged.
Definite arrangements are likely to
be made next week A meeting OF

WARNS AGAINST
TYPHOID FEVER
DR.. SUBWAY CALLS ATTENTION
TO FACT THAT DISEASE is
LIKELY TO BECOME PREV
ALENT AGAIN.

DIR. +. w. Shumway, secretary of
the state department of health. In his
report for June on communicable dis
eases, calls special attention to the
fact that the people of this state are
now approaching the time when ty-
phoid fever is most prevalent. The
department urges the cooperation of
all for the restriction and prevention
of this disease. The screening of
houses. groceries and fruit stands, II
is stated. will do much towards pre-
venting the big toll in deaths the dis
ease has exacted i'm past years.
During June typhoid fever was more
prevalent than in the preceding month
and also more prevalent than in June,
1909. August, September and october,
however, are the typhoid months and
special efforts on the part of the local
health officers for the restriction and
prevention of the disease is declared
more necessary during that period.
In the past contaminated drinking
water has been a common source OF
typhoid fever. During the last few
years, however, it has been ascertained
that the house fly is also an important
factor i'm spreading the disease, espe-
cially i'm the rural districts.
The number of fatal cases of pneu-
monia last month was 203. which was
greater than the average for the same
month in recent years There were 1873
new cases of tuberculosis reported in
June and 209 deaths.
Diphtheria, whooping cough, scarlet
fever. measles and smallpox are all
much more prevalent this year than in
1909.

STATE EXPENSES
ARE INCREASED
REPORT OF AUDITORS FOR FlS-
CAL YEAR SHOWS THAT MORE
MONEY WAS PASSED OUT
THAN IN 1909

II cost more to run the state of
Michigan during the past year than
it did the previous IL months says a
Lansing dispatch.
In handling the states business dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30 the
members of the state board of audi
tors allowed claims to the amount of
$504, 714.O1, as compared with SAIL
1851 the previous year, according
to the annual report just completed.
This increase is said to be the result
of the authorization by the Legislature
of the purchase of a silver service for
the battleship Michigan and the Gus
ter monument.
The states bin for printing during
1910 was $50,093.99 as compared with
SOS. 691.9S the previous year; binding

the travelling expenses of representa-
tives of each, their postage accounts
cts. In claims Of this character the
board allowed to the state board OF
assessors $30,577.S9; to the state tax

better freight and express service to
upper peninsula points than Detroit.

OF that trade. says the Grand Rapids
Herald. Detroit. of course, has the ad-
vantage of navigation in reaching the
lake cities during the summer months.

Grand Rapids can beat Detroit by sew

RAILROAD DEATH
TOLL DECREASES
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER oLAs-
coE, NOW BEING PREPARED
WILL SHOW VERY PLEAS
ING CONDITION.

According TO the annual report of
the Michigan railway commission, now
being prepared by Commissioner Glas-
gov, the physical condition of the rail-
roads of the state shows a great inn
provement over previous years. The
installation OF safety devices. the pro-
lection OF street and highway cross
ings, better condition of the roadbeds,
use of heavier rails and closer atten-
ton by employees TO rules and regula-
tions. all contribute to greater safety
I'm handling the public, as the follow
Ing statistics will show. The steam
roads I'm the state during the year end
ing Dec. 81, 1908, was 19,127191, while
the electric roads reported 197,973.6S7
passengers carried, making n total of
217,10O,S7S. This amount was greatly
Increased for the year ending Dec. 81,
1909, as statistics shoy that the steam
roads carried 20,607,69S passengers,
while the electric roads increased the
number 219,S69, 500 more, making a to-
tai for the year of 24O.477,267, or an In
creased number over 1908 of 23,376,3s9
passengers.
The report also shows n decided de-
crease in the number OF passengers
killed as compared with the previous
year. In 1908 so passengers were kill
ed or one out of every 4,175.O07 car
ried, and I'm 1909 only II were killed, or
one person ont OF every 14,145,721 pas

There are S1,695 employees on the

The total number OF employees killed
I'm 1909 on both electric and steam

the electric lines with 10.
The report also calls attention &c
the fact that in 1908. III, and in 1909
124 persons were killed while trespass-

in greater loss of life in 1908 by 81

BERRY PIckERS BUSY.
Reports Indicate the Local Crop Will be
Below the AVERAGE.

Berry season is now opening, and
within the course of another week 1t
will be in full swing. Already many
fond of picking the fruit, are TO be seen
making their way to the woods, laden
ed down with receptacles of all kinds
Ind descriptions.
Considerable rivalry exists between
the pickers.
Those who have followed the berry,
picking industry for many years
claim that the production this year
will be far below that of former sea-
sons. due principally to the drought
that has been experienced here. Not
only will the production be smaller,
but the quality of the berry will not be
mp To the standard. But this fact does
not seem to diminish the number OF
pickers, for the outlook is that as
many as i'm former years, if not more
will be i'm the fields.
Early i'm the mornings, the street
cars are filled with men, women and
children, CARRIED i'm the clothing most
suitable for days outing. while many
more are to be seen making the slower
progress by the Weston method.
This lack of berries this season is
felt i'm other sections of the country
and ii is estimated by wholesalers that
the price will be higher than last year
At this time, raspberries are selling nj
$3.50 per case of twenty-four pints
wholesale, while at retail they sell al
IL cents per pint.
Blackberries and blueberries are
scarce but it is thought the supply VIII
be sufficient for the local demand.
