FROM CHICAGO TO PORTAGE
LAKE IN SMALL POWER BOAT

Duke Holcombe of Chicago, arrived
at Portage Lake yesterday in a 30-foot
gasoline launch. he having made the
"trip from Chicago TO Houghton, ac-
companied by friend, In his small
power boat.
He came to Calumet last night, and
spent "A few hours with his aunt. Mrs.
Cordelia Jacka of Eighth street. This
morning Mr.. Holcombe returned To
Houghton, where he again boarded his
launch, and steered for Duluth. After
spending a day or two in the Zenith
city, the intrepid sailor of the great
lakes, will begin his homeward jour
ney to the Windy iCty.
The trip from Chicago to Houghton
was made i'm easy stages in about ten
days. The run from the 500 to Mar
quette was made in comparatively
short time, however, Mr.. Holcombe
informing local friends that he wanted
to test the speed and power of his
boat.
With his companion he has thor
| oughly enjoyed the trip so far. Nc
accident of any importance has oc-
Cured, and Mr.. Holcombe believes
that with reasonable care and q
| knowledge Of navigation, boats OF uh'
| description owned by him can safely
navigate the big lakes, provided the,
keep reasonably close to the shore
line. so that i'm the event of the ap'
proach of storm, a quick run TO

LAURIUM
Will CONSIDER
MANY MATTERS

IUM COUNCIL WILL BE I'M
PORTANT oNE-SEWER I'M
PRovEMENT NEEDED.

The next regular meeting of the
Iaurium council promises to be an
one. Among the matters
to be taken up are the petition recent
Is circulated, asking that the council
take steps to cover i'm the sewers lead
ing from the east end of the village,
the billboard ordinance question, and
the matter of enforcing the order re-
GENTLY issued that all brewing COM
panies doing retail business from
,heir warehouses In Laurium take out
,stail licenses. The matter of INSTALL
ing additional fire alarm boxes viii

Regarding the matter of extending

'anitary conditions would be provided
he trustees are I'm a quandary For
'everal months il has been recognized
hat this Improvement is greatly need
ed but as the funds of the village have
been at low ebb for several years.
due TO the extensive improvements
that have been made upon the streets

require considerable planning before
provision can be made for taking up
this work. The village officials are
heartily in accord with the petition

a better understanding of the order
recently issued demanding that they
secure retail licenses or cease retail
ing.
Village Attorney T.. II. Q'Brien Will

A report will likely be presented by

ARE THE
Wild PIGEONS?
ONE NATURALIST BELIEVES
THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN
TO ARGENTINA IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

Where have the wild pigeons gone?
Are all the wild pigeons dead? These
questions, often asked, are confidently
answered by Il. Du Bots of Button
South Carolina, i'm a communication
To the New York Tribune, partly on
the authority of j. A. Watson of Chi
cago. The assertion is made that the
pigeons are not extinct-that they are
as numerous in Argentina, South Am
erica, as they used to be i'm the United
States. and that they have given up
their migratory habits, being exempt
from the merciless persecution to
which they were subjected here, and
assured of a more generous support
by 1.-THE wheat fields of that bounti-
full land"
Mr.. Du Bots thinks that the fac
tors in their disappearance from the
United States were "merciless slaugh-
ter" and the cutting down of the
white oak forests of the Eastern
states and Eastern New York, and
the decline of wheat cultivation i'm the
eastern states.
AS to the cultivation of wheat hav-
ing any revelancy to the disappear
ance of the wild pigeon, there is a
chance for argument. Wild pigeons
were plentiful enough in the upper
peninsula in the days of Indian oc-
cupation, when If they depended up
on wheat cultivation for food they
would have had to starve.
There were not as many acres in
wheat in the days when wild pigeons
were most plentiful as there have been
since the wild pigeons began to grow
scarce. Today while the Orinthol-
ogical Union is offering prizes for the
discovery of nesting pairs, the wheat
crop of the United States is enorm-
ously greater than it was when the
sky was darkened by flights of wild
pigeons. Since the theory of re-
Iationship between a wheat field and
wild pigeons has been propounded, II
is worthy of note that the wheat croI
of the United States at the present
time is three times as large as thai
of Argentina.
Inat the VIII plBcOIS oHCc 50 mum
erous in the Northern United States
were migratory there is no doubt. bu
there is no certainty that when the!
flew south they went as far as Argen
etina To do that they would have
been obliged to pass through the trop
ics-is II likely that they did? Muci
more likely is the supposition tina
the "mercless slaughter" supplies tn
reason why they have become scarce
1t seems impossible, when thei
former numbers are considered, tina
they can have become extinct Tina
they would eat wheat is undoubtedly
true, but that wheat was ever theil
main dependence here or is their mair
dependence in Argentina is open fo
question If wild pigeons fed on tn
wheat crop, farmers would be oblige'
to undertake their "merciless slaugh
ter" i'm self defense. The controvers!
regarding wild pigeons offers n fln'
chance for ruction between fauna
naturalists"

PoUNDMAsTER HAS TROUBLE.
Difficulty is Experienced in Removing
Cattle to the Pound.


George McCullum, Laurium's newly
appointed poundmaster has already
had his troubles. on Saturday, MIR.
McCullum became convinced that the
cows owned by one John klorich were
infringing on the rights of others ana
he proceeded to corral them and drive
them off to the village pound on Kear-
sarge street. 1t is said, however, that
Mrs. Klorich objected to this pro-
cedure and interfered, taking the cows
away from the poundmaster' and tell
ing him i'm unmistakable terms her
opinion of his action.
But this is not all. Later i'm the
day. warrant was sworn out in the
court of Justice Armit, charging John
Klorich, with a violation of ordinance
No. 35, that of permitting his cattle
to run at large. He appeared in court
Saturday evening, pied guilty to the

Good Roads

In no other state in the union
could we have better roads than in
our own state OF Colorado. and when
the farmers insist upon good roads,
we shall have them, and not until
that time will we enjoy pleasant and
safe riding in the country.
How often. when driving along a
lane in the country, we find the road
first on one side, then on the other,
with drain ditch taking its natural
course, usually down the center of
the lane How much better it would
be if the lane were only graded up
in the center, with two good drain
bitches down each side, The only
evil doer TO roads is water. The first
principle of construction is the
means of keeping the road dry.
The soils of our state are capable
of making excellent roads. especially
in the mountain districts. me
prairie soils contain more or less
clay and in all probability have
considerable SnrlnkaSe Wnen uiH,
that is. when the road is hard and
dry cracks will appear. This condi-
ton is best met by mixing sand to
the top course of the road. This Will
give a hard. smooth surface when
kept dry If the cracks are large in
the surface of the road, water Will
have free passage to the interior
and loosen the base. which will de-
velop into a soft spot and finally in
to hole.
The ordinary country road Is cas-
lily made, and two important factors
make good roads: keep the road
we'll crowned and smooth. and pro-
vide good drain bitches. If these are

ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN

Hudson, Sept. John Hayes
general manager. and F. w. Taylor.
one OF the receivers OF the Denver
Reservoir Irrigation company. met
the farmers of this district at a mass
meeting here this afternoon. Taylor
explained the company's position
assuring the farmers the bitches
would be completed in ample time
to furnish water for all the land now
under cultivation.
He declared that although the
company might not be out OF the
hands OF the receiver for some time
it would not hinder the completion
of the work already started.
He urged the farmers to put IN fall
wheat, that it was not the inten-
tion of the company to work hard
ship on any one, and that the COM
pany would not ask payment OF the
notes held against them this year,
as, owing to the dry season. the
company was unable to furnish the
water and consequently farmers
could not be expected to meet Their
notes.

being erected by Mayor Houston on
his farm west OF Greeley. Mr..

connection with Mr.. Houston, has
grown several acres OF corn this sea-

from growers who planted late and
have little hope Of their crop ma
turing.
The silo is being erected with

Especial to the Tribune)
Loveland, Sept 6.-Today Lari-
mer county put an effective duletus
on the hopes of w J. Galllsan, state
treasurer. for the gubernatoriaf
nomination, when the democratic
convention went overwhelmingly on
record for an instrucuted Shafroth
delegation to the state convention.
This is Galligan's home and his
hackers had banked on landing this
county because of the effect it would
have in Denver and FL Paso counties.
The suub was direct and decisive,
and its announced purpose was to
let the state at large know that
Iarimer county is not in sympathy
with any movement seeking to side
track Shafroth, even when the fate
of popular son of the county is at
stake
