through lower Michigan and attended
the political outing of the Taft Re-
publican club of Wayne county at
Tashmoo park. The count of the party
as they boarded the TaShmoo for the
park showed that they numbered 1000
nearly the whole political population
of Detroit and notables from abroad
being included.
Mr.. Knox says that a poll of the
voters taken on the Tashmoo revealed
the fact that at least IS per cent fav-
Ored the candidacy of Chase S. Osborn
for governor and that the reception
accorded to Mr.. Osborn was the most
cordial and the applause at the conclu-
sion of his speech the most prolonged
accorded to any other speaker,
Notwithstanding the fact that
Wayne county contains one-ffth of
the entire population of Michigan and
that the outing of the Taft club was
the largest political gathering of the
campaign, Amos Musselman was not
present in person nor was he repre-
scented there This emphasizes the
fact that a vote for Musselman at the
primaries on September is half a
vote for Kelley.
M. Knox said that he was amused
at the demogogery displayed by Mr..
Musselman during his trip to the up

Readers OF newspapers must be i'm
pressed in these days by reference to
the airship, which recall with much
vividness the storm of criticism that
assailed the auto i'm its early days
and through its early struggles. In
these times, when the auto has found a
place. and permanent one, in our
commercial and social economy il is
sometimes difficult to realize how
skeptical were most of us with regard
to it at the beginning, and how unreas-
onably and stubbornly many OF US re-
sisted it's progress. Questions were
raised as to its utility and as to its
safety. Even If conceded to be useful
and safe as a conveyance for some,
much doubt was raised as to it's desir-
ability from the public standpoint. Peo-
pie rather rejoiced and felt that their
predictions were verified, when it
seemed to meet with setback. All Of
the 'T-told- you-sos" that had been out
Of commission since the railroad be-
came a demonstrated success We're
brought into play against the auto.
And yet they did not suffice to stay
its onward course single moment.
The airship is now passing through
its early stages and early trials, and it
is encountering much the same skepu-
cism and bessimism that n few years
ago fell into the lot OF the auto, and a
few years earlier fell into the lot OF
the steam locomotive. IL is amazing,

per peninsula. I'm his talks to the
voters above the straits" said Mr..
Knox, she inferred that he was against
the imposition of the tonnage tax and
declared against it. While he was
making his statements to the mining
men i'm the north country, and telling
them that his attitude to hem would
not be unfriendly, his press bureau i'm
lower Michigan was busily engaged in
sending out appeals TO the grangers
asking their support for Mr.. Mussel-
man on the grounds that he was the
only candidate who had not declared
against the tonnage tax.
Nothing that Mr.. Osborn has done
has given more force to his campaign
than his declaration given some
months ago of his opposition to the
tonnage tax accompanied by clear and
cogent reasons for his attitude there

The pictures of the Jeffrics- johnson
fight will not be seen in Calumet. The
Red Jacket council passed an ordin-
ance at its meeting last evening pro-
hibiting the exhibition of the films
I'm this village and no doubt similar
action will be taken in Laurum. The
placing OF a ban on the pictures in
Red Jacket will be a surprise to many
because OF the lack Of any pronounced
sentiment against the films, but evil
IDENTIFY the council has good reasons.
Undoubtedly there are lot of people
in Calumet who would like to see a
reproduction of the great fistic en-
counter but the council, it seems. is
fearful Of the moral effect. and has
the youth of the city especially in
mind. In this respect the stand il
has taken is along the line of duty, in
safeguarding the public welfare. and
general approval Of its action may be
expected.

A square deal for the horse is the
petition which the Western Pennsyl-
vania Humane society has put into
fervent equine prayer and has posted
in stables. 1t reads in part as follows:

prayer: Feed me, water and care for
me, and when the days work is done
provide me with shelter, clean, dry
bed and stall wide enough for me to
lie down in comfort. Talk to me.

Special Agent Mckenzie. who sup
elvised the taking of the recent CEN
sus of Alaska. has made a report con-
tanning other matters of interest than
the statistics of population. In adj
dition to enumerating the inhabitants
it was his duty TO collect facts re-
garding mining and agriculture. What
he has to say on the latter subject has
been made public and is of no little
interest.
Who would suppose that farming
could be a profitable occupation with
in the Arctic circle? Yet Mr.. Nc
Kenzie reports that homesteads have
been taken up and that on them farm
farming is conducted on considera-
BILE scale
agriculture in this portion of Alas
LA is yet in it's infancy" says the
census agent, "but it has arrived at
such proportions as to be considered
almost wonderful i'm its results. If
all the returns are taken they will
show a very remarkable condition
when it is considered that il is a
condition existing within the Arctic
circle" All the growth, it appears, is
attained between May 20 and Septem-
Der Is. Mr.. Mckenzie attributes the
fact that crops ripen not only to the
circumstance that the sun shines
from sixteen to twenty-four hours
per day. but to the correlative circum-
stance that the plants are supplied
with moisture from beneath, where
the melting ice affords n regular and
constant supply. "Rain is practi-
cally unknown" he says, "but the ne
cessary moisture comes from below"
The thaw never extends deeper than
three feet and often not farther than
fifteen inches, but the thaw is regu-
lar and the water supply sufficient
to force n rapid growth. Celery, let
tuce, radishes, cabbages, turnips and
potatoes thrive, and, Mr.. Mckenzie de-
clares, they are so much better than
in the states" that the high price
charged by the growers is quite JUS
tihable. Raspberries grow to be as
large around as twenty-five cent
pieces, and blueberries and cranber-
ries grow wild in great PROPULSION. Ex-
periments have been made with straw
berries and grain, and while no great
success is recorded the outlook is
encouraging.
Nature evidently is kinder to man
in the far north than men living i'm
the temperate zone would have sup
posed. In the light of this census re-
port the people of the United States
will prize more highly than ever the
great region which William III. Sew
ard. as secretary of state. secured for
the United States from Russia, for
the nominal sum of $7,200,O00.

point being almost directly south OF
Mackinac City, where the motor cam
paign was inaugurated. The next two
weeks will be spent in the central
counties of the state from 81. Joe to
Cheboygan. 1t is reported Mr.. Kelley
is going TO follow the trail of the 500
man but inasmuch as the administra-
ton candidate did not start for twenty
days after Mr.. Osborn left the straits
Mr.. Kelley will finish twenty days late
of covering the Osborn route as the
500 man has an itinerary calling for
all his time between now and the pri-
mary.
