HOUGHTON DEPARTMENT
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR TAXES?
COLLECTION FEE TO ADVANCE

If you have not paid your village
taxes you had better do so today
or tomorrow. as after tomorrow the
treasurer's collection fee will be in
creased from per cent. at which fee
the taxes have been collected up TO
this time, To 4 per cent. on August
1. but Treasurer Otto Obenhoff this
year took compassion on those who
own taxable property. and who were
too much interested in the copper
market or were for any other reason
unprepared 10 pay their taxes before
that date. and recommended to the
village council that the period during
which the taxes might be collected
at the lower rate be extended.
Another reason why Mr. Obenhoff
thought il reasonable TO extend the
time i'm which the taxes might be paid
at the low rate was because the rolls
were not thrown open this year until
about fifteen days later than is GUS
tomary. The village fathers acted
upon the recommendation and ex-
tended the time for the payment of
che taxes at the 3 per cent. rate a
month. bringing the time up to the
close of business tomorrow.
Treasurer Obenhoff reports that the
tax money has been coming in at a
very satisfactory rate during the past
month and that he expects a big rush
of payments today and tomorrow. in
anticipation Of saving the one per
cent. addition to the fee. There will
be no further extensions of time and
all who fail to get their money into
the treasury's stronghold before four
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon will find
the fee increased.

TO USE TRAP ROCK.
Wnona Mine to Furnish Material for
Crystal Falls Streets.


Crystal Falls streets will be built of
trap rock shipped here from the Wi
mona mine. Houghton county says
the Crystal Falls Diamond Drill.
This mine is located a short dis
lance south of Houghton on the Cop
per Range Railroad. The rock will
be shipped over the Copper Range
and Milwaukee roads to this city.
There will be over 5000 yards of
rock used in the pavement so that
several train loads OF rock will have
to be hauled into this city before the
job is completed.
1t was the original intention to use
a diorite rock from the Marquette
range as the crushing equipment here
is not sufficient to handle so much
rock. When il came to ordering the
rock IL was learned that a switching
charge Of IS per car would have to be
paid whereas no switching charge
is necessary in the winona rock.
OF late years there has been much
talk of shipping the trap rock from
the copper country TO lower Michi-
gan points for the purpose of road
making Mr. Earle. when state high
way commissioner and later on when
candidate for governor. put forth
plan to utilize convict labor in pre-
pairing this rock for road uses and
advocated the removal of at least one
Of our penal institutions 20 the cop
per country for that purpose. The
scheme was laughed at by many but
the fact that this same quality rock is
10 be shipped here for road purposes
indicates that the scheme was not
so wild after all.
Trap rock is considered the best
rock in the state for road purposes
and this fact will be welcome news to
Crystal Falls people who are so de-
sirious of getting the best there is
for the money on their streets The
venture will undoubtedly be watched
with interest and may result in much
more copper country rock being
shipped TO distant points.

Remedy Simple and Sure
The simplest and most satisfactory
remedy is found in gathering the egg
masses. AS eggs are in a compact
mass, readily torn from the support
ing cocoon either by hand or scraper
the task is easily and quickly per-
formed. DIR. Howard has recommended
the use Of creosote oil for the de-
struction Of the eggs, since each mass
has only 90 be moistened with the
substance. In winter il is necessary
TO add turpentine TO keep the creosote
liquid. on account OF the female be-
ing wingless. a tree once thoroughly
very soon. IL larvae are not abundant
nearby. A band Of loose cotton bound
tightly about the tree will prevent
their ascending and reinfesting.
1t should be kept in mind that only
eggs must be collected and destroyed,
which may occur in cocoons not bear
ing egg masses. In case it is impract-
icable to collect the eggs, dependence
must be placed upon spraying with
some arsenical compound. This is
satisfactory If properly done early in
the season under favorable condi-
tons.
Not a few wait until trees show
signs OF serious injury and then ask
some means Of stopping the ravages.
Resort may be had TO spraying in
larger proportions of poison, In or
der TO kill the larvae quickly. or they
may be shaken from the limbs, pro-
viding the tree Is not too large. The
latter means will give n certain
amount OF relief where practicable
Cotton bands should be used to pre-
vent the ascent of those shaken from
the tree.

BANKING IN ENGLANU.
Started by London GoIdsmiths In tn
Seventeenth Century.

Seventeenth Century.
The business of banking was not in
troduced into England until the seven
teenth century. when it began to be
undertaken by goIdsmiths in London,
who appear to have borrowed it from
Holland. 1t was attacked, as innova-
lions commonly are. Mr.. Gilbart in
his History and Principles of Bank
ing" quotes from pamphlet publish
ed in 1876, entitled THE Mystery of
the New Fashioned Goldsmiths or
Bankers Discovered" a passage that
may be reproduced:
Much about the same time-the
time of the civil commotion-the gold
smiths Tor new fashioned bankers) be-
gan to receive the rents of gentlemen's
estates RENTED to town and to allow
them and others who put cash into
their hands some interest for it if it
remained but a single month in their
hands or even lesser time. There
was great allurement to put money
into their hands, which would bear
interest till the day they wanted it.
and they could also draw it out by
f100 or iJ0. etc. at a time as they
wanted it with infinitely less trouble
than if they had lent it out Cn either
real or personal security. The conse-
quence was that it quickly brought
great quantity Of cash into their
hands, so that the chief or greatest Of
them was now enabled to supply
Cromwell with money in advance on
the revenues as bis occasion required
upon great advantages to themselves"
