popular resentment against the ef-
forts Of certain influences in and out
OF the Senate to suppress the Lorimer
Of consideration the vast mass of
testimony and facts brought out to
show the bribery and corruption at
tending the election of Mr.. Lorimer.
The situation has reached a stage
now where the fight over the Lori
mer report, in which the Committee
on Privileges and Elections white
washes the Illinois statesman, prom
ises to be the sensation of the ses-
sion.
During the holidays a number of
Democratic and Republican Senator'S
who stayed in Washington have been
going over the record and the more
they read the more incomprehensible
appear to them the committees con-
clusions. Considerable resentment is
also displayed by some members OF
the Senate over what they term the
effrontery Of certain men represent

Washington was said to be in the in
terest of securing a unanimously fav-
orable report from the committee
for Mr.. Lorimer and who, it is as

TICKET AGENTS
ENFORCE RULE
CANADIAN BOUND IMMIGRANTS
MUST HAVE FIFTY DOLLARS
AFTER PURCHASING THEIR
TICKETS.

The railroad agents of Calumet have
been entrusted with a rather delicate
duty. since the enforcement Of a new
Canadian ruling on immigration went
into effect on November 30. The rul-
ing makes IL necessary for all immi-
grants coming into the Dominion of
Canada To be possessed of fifty dol
lars besides the cost of their tickets
whether they are coming from the
British Isles Of from any other coun-
try. In order To protect their patrons
from embarrassment on reaching the
Canadian border, the ID. S. S. d A.
road has issued on order, requesting
all agents TO make inquiries of those
purchasing tickets for Canadian points
TO learn whether or not they have the
necessary capital to be admitted
While there is little doubt that some
people who are not familiar with the
Canadian laws will consider this a
personal matter and hesitate to c.
vulge the extent of their financial rat
ing. the purpose which prompts the
railroad company to take this step
viii undoubtedly meet with the COM
mendation of those who are aware Of
the situation.
1t has just been reported that five
residents of Calumet who left this
city with the intention of locating at
Cobalt have been turned back at the
500, because they did not have enough
money to enter Canada. If the rail
roads had adopted the ruling now in
force, at the time of their departure,
they would have learned in this city
that they could not enter Canada and
would have been saved considerable
and expense. 1t is for
the purpose of preventing a recur-
renee of the above that the d. S. S. & |
A. railroad has taken the action men |
toned.

VALUABLE INFORMATION ON
THE SUBJECT.

Having i'm view the large number of
others unders the course Of construc-

neat bulletin on school architecture.
The bulletin contains, besides other
valuable information, plans and spec

one. two. three and four-room school
buildings, the plans having been pre-
pared by "A Lansing architect In these

and estimate of cost of each building

In discussing the much-needed
changes in school buildings, Mr..

Will ADVERTISE
UPPER PENINSULA
DEVELOPMENT AssocIATIoN
WILL BE ORGANIZED TO
BOOST FOR LANDS OF
THE U. p.

An effort will be made to organize
an Upper Peninsula Development AS
ISOLATION, which will have for its chief
ann the advertisement of the farm
lands of the upper peninsula, says the
Menominee Herald Leader.
Visits to the Chicago land show by
local people have shown them where
the upper peninsula is behind in this
respect. The upper peninsula, with
some of the finest farming lands in
the country is not represented at this
show.

tory OF the country, could go there to-
day and could see the fine exhibits
from other sections of Michigan and
from other states. but would not be
forced to realize that the upper PENN
sula is on the map.
Have Wrong Impression.
Residents of Illinois,, Indiana and
other states in the east and the middle
west have a wrong impression of the
upper peninsula of Michigan. They
look upon this spot as the early set
tiers looked upon the land beyond the
Alleghanies; they think this country
is still going through the backwoods
area.
For all the effort that has been
made TO advertise this section of Mich
igan, people would still think that
bears were being killed daily on the
streets of the principal cities. To rid
the people of this idea and to give
settlers the true situation
in the upper peninsula, a development
association will be formed.

bridge of Stephenson in addition to
several other people of Menominee
have been to the land show
and they came back with the impress
sion that the upper peninsula should
have such an association.
They are unanimously of the opinion
that the crops can be raised i'm the
upper peninsula the equal of any
shown at the land show. and i'm many
cases the superior. The western states
have taken the lead i'm advertising
their farming sections, and the efforts
have proved successful, as can be seen

upper peninsula, every commercial
club or business mems organization.
and every citizen Interested i'm the de-
velopment of the upper peninsula
farms should become interested. The
association is TO be a sure thing, even
though other counties do not join in
the movement.
Feeling Favors Organization.
Enough feeling has been worked up
in Menominee county TO make such an
organization alone, but to further the
interests OF the whole upper peninsula,
II is the desire of the local men to
have every county included. Business
organizations and individuals are not
alone asked to join In this movement,
but the county boards should become
interested.
The lower peninsula is represented
at the land show. Three distinct as
sociations We're organized and they
were supported by the county boards
of the various counties. Handsome
booklets were printed several thousand
in number, and these are distributed to
thousands OF people at the land show.
The exhibits at the land show from
the western states, however were
made mostly by business and COM
mercial organizations of cities i'm the
localities advertised. The commercial
Club of Menominee will no doubt take
great interest i'm the movement. A
meeting will be held i'm a short time
and the matter will be taken up with
view of assisting in the work of or
ganiZing such an association.
Take Matter Up With Clubs.
Commercial clubs and business or
CARNATIONS of other cities will be COM
municated with with view of getting
assistance from them. The matter is
an important one and also an expen-
sive one, and would take about a year
in completing the work. Local people
who are interested in such an organi-
zation are of the opinion that what is
to be done should be done at once. II
should be worked on this winter, and
by next summer, when it becomes time
to advertise the upper peninsula every
preparation would be made.
The main purpose of the association
would be to place an exhibit at the
Chicago land show next year. This is
conceded to be the best advertising
medium in the country. Nearly every
state in the central west, the south
and the west is represented. Thou
sands of settlers are located through
this medium this year, and thousands
of them will be located next year.
Get People Located Here.
Every business organization in the
upper peninsula is working for more
business and an increased population.
Why should they let the greatest OPP
portunity pass UP without notice. An
increased population on the farms of
the country, would mean more bust
ness, larger population in the cities.
and the whole country would be bene-
fitted.
