STATE SPENDING
MONEY ON ROADS
Large Sums Being Appropriated to
Better the Condition of Mich
i9an Highways.

The annual report of the highway
commission when completed will show
that Michigan has spent more for good
roa Is than ever before in her history
Since July |, 1909, the state has expend-
ed in awards for ne highways Sl3S, ,349.
OF this large sum only between Sll 900
and $4,000 is for roads constructed in
1905
The awards which the state has paid
runs from $3.50 to 81 900 per mile. The
former is the price paid for clay gravel
road and latter for macadam. 1t is also
very noticeable that more cou mites are
building more macadam each year.
BY far the largest amount of good
roads in the state have been built in
Saginaw county. There is some trouble
being experienced there, however, be.
cause the quality of stone used was not
as good as it might bave been and be-
cause it is extremely difficult to find a
firm foundation for roadway in many
parts of the country. The universal ten
dency throughout the state seems to be
in favor of the highest class OF stone
roads

BIRTH RATE EXCEEDS
DEATH RATE FOR JUNE

The month OF June, according to the
report issued by the secretary of state,
shows that 1897 deaths occurred 10 the
state in that month, giving an annual
death rate of 1873 per 1000 estimated
population. tuberculosis the chief
factor was displaced during June by
deaths of violence, there being 243 while
tuberculosis claimed 205, cancer l69. The
increase in the number of deaths by
violence was due to the large number
of drownings One death was reported
from pellagra, disease rarely found in
this section of the country,
On the other hand there were 4,Sl9
births reported to the secretary of states
Office for June. This corresponds to an
annual birth rate of 2l.0 per 200 esti-
mated populati IN. There was a decrease
of l43 births last month over the num-
Der reported in May.
The returns received in time FOR the
compilation of the bulletin represent a
reporting population ot2, sol ,S25 persons

Paw PLAYER,

A Washington paper recently contain
ed a fine picture of Wade and Billie Kill

same paper contained the following com
plmentary notice OF Wade's playing.
"With any KIND of luck Killefer would
have had four clean hits yesterday. He
doubled to left the first time up and on
his next two trips to the plate he drove
sharp grounders right at Turner, which
the latter could not have reached had
they been a few feet to either side. The

a second baseman of much more than

FIRE DESTROYS
K|MBALL HOME
Had Big Start When Discovered. Fire
Company Did Valiant Service.
Some Goods Saved.

Mir. and Mrs Fred Kimbal lost their
beautiful Paw Paw home by fire last
Thursday night Mr. and Mrs Kimball
and Chas. McGurrin OF Kalamazoo who
was their guest for few days, were out
to dinner with friends that evening. A
friend was taking them home in his
automobile. when they saw the light
from the fire On their arrival they
found that friends bad already got Mr..
Kimball's aged mother out Of the house
and were carrying out some of the
furniture.
Owing TO the distance from the engine
house, the fire department were late get
ting on the scene, and the fire had big
start before any water was thrown. They
did valiant service however, and saved
the east part of the house
Some OF the bedding, carpets and furn-
iture were saved, but the most valuable
things including Mrs. kimball's ward
robe were lost The Kimballs were pack
ing preparatory TO going TO New York
City, and the wardrobe was scattered
about the rooms. What pieces were
not burned were badly damaged by smoke
and water. 1t was indeed fortunate that
the fire was discovered just as it was, for
Mrs Kimball sleeps soundly, and her
room was already thick with smoke.
The origin of the fire is a mystery and
it is possible that it caught from crossed
electric wires IN the wood shed The
home and contents were partially in.
sured
The Kimballs are quartered at present
with Mr. and Mrs Welch. Mrs. WEIGH
is sister of Mr.. Kimbal. The home
will probably be rebuilt 10 the spring.

TOLD WHERE he WOULD
Be IF HORSE STUMBLED

Rev c. E. Huffer, formerly of Paw
Paw, had a narrow escape at Albion one
day last week at the M..C. railroad cross
ing. The fagman had ideas of his own
as to where the Elder would have gone
had the horse stumbled. Following is
the dispatch clipped from the Detroit
News:
"Albion-Not very long ago Rev.
Huffer, pastol of the local Presbyterian
church, was driving rather skittsh
colt up East Cass street. Al the point
where the Michigan Central main line
crosses the street the company has sta
toned a faithful flagman who is always
sincerely careful that be does his duty.
When he saw the approaching preacher
he waved him back with his red flag.
Now Rev. Huffer was driving a colt
which he feared would do more damage
if it faced the train than if it was hur-
ried on over the tracks ahead Of the on
coming cars After he had dore this,
and the last car had cleared the crossing,
the preacher thought it no more than
fair that he return to make some sort of
expla nation Silently and soberly the
flagman listened to the excuses and then
bluntly blurted out at the reverend. If
your horse had stumbled and fell, you d
been in h in a minute.

ARE PAYING UNDER PROTEST

With the great showing of gain for
temperance which has been wrought in
Michigan by the temperance forces in
the number of counties in the dry col
umn, the report compiled by the auditor
general shows that the falling of in the
receipts has been only about 100000.
The fiscal year which ended Juue 30
shows that the counties and townships
of the state received during the time
g, ,45l ,S97. 70 in revenue from the liquor
interests. The previous years report.
ending June 30, 1909, showed total OF
S2,69S,000.
The president liquor dealers are
paying their license fee under protests
and it is evident from this that they are
contemplating some united action
through the courts in the near future.

The senator also paid a high compli-
ment to Congressman Hamilton and
said that there ought not to be vote
against him 10 the entire district. A
freight train was switching in the M. G.
yards near the park, and the speaker as
we'll as the audience was considerably
annoyed by the confusion. In referring
to the accident, the senator said that he
had Just been through the work Of the
Interstate Commerce act, and if he had
the matter to do over again, he believed
that he would have a clause inserted
prohibiting the switching OF freight
trains during a political meeting. He
lauded President Taft, the Payne-Al-
drich Tariff law, and gave his hearers
strictly to understand that he was a
rksubIican, and protectionist, and gave
hi reasons.
Here the party were met by two auto
mobiles from Paw Paw with a party
composed of Messrs r. G Thayer, b. F

place, the senator was pleased to meet

driven over to see him.
