KERR IN ONTONAGON.

Concerning the visit of A. w. Kerr
OF Laurium to Ontonagon county last
week, the Ontonagon Herald says in
part
Mr.. Kerr was i'm the village all the
afternoon and he made many ac-
quaintances and called on many OF his
old friends. He is very fluent talker
and at the meeting Monday evening
convinced many of his listeners that
his heart is i'm the right place.
MIR. err is opposed to the Cannon
rule in the house and was frank in
saying so, and in telling his hearers
that no was a so-called insurgent
and that If he was elected to Congress
that Mr., Cannon would not receive his
voice for speaker.
Mr.. Smith of Hubbell opened the
discourse and In a very few appro-
pirate remarks told the people pres
ent that he was a candidate for re-
election TO the state senate from the
Send district. His opponent is Ira T.
Randall of Houghton. Both men gre
well known here and both are well
liked and the voters will have plenty
of chance for thought before they cast
their ballot on September 9Th.

coming YEAR
Will BE GOOD
UPPER PENINSULA TIMBER oP-
orator COMPARES PRESENT
CONDITIONS WITH THOSE
FEW YEARS AGO

"rhe coming season promises to be
an active one for the timber opera
tors OF this region" said an upper
peninsula jobber recently. Logs of all
kinds, ties, polls and pulp wood, are
now I'm better demand than at any
time since the boom of three years
ago, but the prices are not nearly as
good as they were then.
Il find that many jobbers and own
ers OF timber lands are not in a hur-
ry to let their timber go at the pres
ent prices, and / think there will be
advances in some grades of timber
the coming fall, but they may not be
very large. Cedar ties are now selling
at forty-five cents, and hemlock and
Tamarack ties are bringing thirty
eight cents. Three years ago cedar
ties cut along the line of the Chicago
a. Northwestern railway I'm this sec
ton brought fifty-two cents on the
average, loaded on the cars. Some
large lots sold at a time when the
stocks of the railroad companies were
low brought fifty-flve cents. This is
the highest price that l have ever
known cedar ties to sell at in this Sec
ton. Some twelve or fifteen years
ago, the same grade of ties that are
now selling for forty-five cents could
be bought for twenty cents. The price
of the cutting OF ties has not varied
much. believe the workmen are now
receiving the same price that they did
twelve years ago. Nearly all OF the
jobbers are paying ten cents a tie for
cutting and trimming. A man who is
industrious and knows how TO use
an axe can make big money at this
price.
"The value of stumpage of all kinds
has greatly Increased during the past
few years. Stumpage OF fairly good
timber that could have been. bought
ten or twelve years ago for from $40
to $50 forty is now held at from $500
to $500. The owners OF lands are
pretty well informed as to what their
stumpage is worth. and IL is seldom
that there are any bargains to be had.
"The recent fires have not caused
any particular damage to the timber
along the line of the Northwestern
system and this is the first summer
in some years that settlers in that dis
trict have not had some serious loss
es. Fires have been started a number
OF times during the past six or eight
months by passing locomotives, but
the farmers and others have been
prompt to attack them and so far the
timber losses have been comparatively
small.
$50 far as l can Judge. most OF the
operators who employ crews In the
lumber woods win be late in starting
wrk. on account of the extended
drought"

Peoples societies of the Swedish Luz
theran church. comprising the Ishpem-
ing district. will be held at Iron Noun

WARNER VISITS
CHATHAM farm
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF STATE Is
INTERESTED IN CULTIVATION
OF ALFALFA ON FARMS OF
U. PENINSULA

Governor Fred NJ. Warner of this
state was I'm the upper peninsula last
week and awaited himself of the OPP
portunity to visit the upper peninsula
governmental farm at Chatham. Gov
ernor Warner is greatly interested In
agricultural matters and while In this
section found occasion to express his
opinions about the cultivation OF al
falfa on the farms of the upper PENN
sula. for fodder
1T is my purpose" Governor War
ner said, ito urge on the agricultural
board steps to popularize among the
farmers alfalfa as fodder crop.
Though the great valte and utility of
alfalfa have been clearly demonstrate
ed in other states, Michigan has been
slow to realize its importance and the
farmers still give up their acreage
largely to the less valuable fodder
crops.
II think that the board of agricul-
ture should furnish the farmers in
every county an object lesson OF the
value OF alfalfa. My plan is to have
the board superintend the sowing of
say 100 tracts of alfalfa, which would
give each county at least one expert
mental crop. In each county one farm
er should be singled out and asked to
devote five or ten acres to this crop.
Soil analysis would determine where
the seed could be best planted, and
the states experts would see that the
suit. am confident, would be excel
lent, and the growing of alfalfa would
receive a great impetus.
Alfalfa is the pre-emnent fodder
crop. 1t yields bountifully compared
with hay and as its roots run deep in
the ground II fiourishes I'm periods OF
drought In which hay is practically
burned out. If alfalfa was generally
planted in the upper peninsula, for in
stance, you would not hear apprehen-
sions about the shortage of fodder ex-
pressed on every hand as you do now,
The experiments have in mind would
cost maybe $4,000 of $4,000, but would
be of incalculable value to the state"
The drought Governor Warner said.
has hit the Newberry asylum hard.
The farm there is a large one and the
produce obtained from 1t usually plays
an important part in the maintenance
OF the institution. But the crops will
all be short this year, owing to the
unfavorable season, with the result
that the cost of maintenance will be
increased.

WILL LAURIUM
HAVE Big FAIR?
INDICATIONS NOW POINT TO FACT
THAT PROJECT WILL BE
PASSED UP FOR THE
PRESENT SUMMER.

whats the matter with the Upper
Peninsula Agricultural association"
Isn't there going to be an exhibition
in Laurium this fall?" "Has the exhi-
bition been allowed to die natural
death?" These are some OF the ques-
tions that are being asked these days.
AS far as can be learned, il doesn't
look as II the Northern Michigan Agri-
cultural association will hold an exhibit
this year. despite the suspicious start
that was made. The long prolonged
drought which has ruined many of the
crops, and the scarcity of money are
ascribed as the cause. Unless suffi-
Client interest is aroused, those who
have taken the initiative do not feel
warranted in going ahead with plans.
II is contended that Laurium could
arrange for and hald a first-class agri-
cultural exhibition. But the promoters
think everyone in the village should
assist in this project which means so
much for the town. The site Is avail
able and, what is more important, ii is
one OF the most advantageous in the
copper country.
The Palestra woul be available for
exhibits as would the Laurium driving
park. 1t is also said there is plenty of
vacant space in the vicinity that could
be utilized should necessity warrant II.
The directors of the society had plan
ned on holding first-class exhibition,
one of the best ever offered the public
I'm this section.
In the face of the apparent apathy.
however, those at the head of affairs
do not feel like going ahead with the
arrangements. and the probabilities
are that the proposed annual exhibition
for Laurlum. will not be realized this
year, at least.
