Additional Laurium
PORK Is BRINGING RECORD
PRICES IN LOCAL MARKETS

Fresh pork is now as much of a
luxury as are spring chicken, and is
commanding a top notch price. Pork
chops are worth from seventeen TO
eighteen cents per pound, wholesale,
in the local markets, and the better
grades of bacon and hams bring from
twenty -four to twenty eight cents per
pound, wholesale. Live hogs are
bringing IN the neighborhood of ten
cents per pound in the Chicago mar
kets.
In spite of the unusually high
price of pork, the wholesalers can
not ill one-half the orders they re-
ceive." said a representative of one
of the big packing concerns yester-
day. THE branch houses in the
country districts, and l might say in
the city districts as well, are in luck
when they receive so per cent of the
pork that they order for their trade.
This condition has existed for several
months and there is no indication that
the supply will equal the demands in
the near future, nor are indications
favorable for reduction in the
prices. The price of pork will prob
ably continue to advance at least
for few months, as the farmers and
cattle raisers in many parts of the
country have lighter stocks than for
some time past, on account of the
unusually dry weather during the
summer season. Many of the stock
raisers were obliged to either sell or
kill their stock early in the season. as
they could not afford To buy the nee
essary feed to fatten them for the
market.
1.-The prices of other meats are also
high, but the proportionate increase in
pork Of all kinds during the past year
has been greater than at any time
for more than n quarter of CEN
fury. When hogs were bringing from
seven to eight cents on foot in the
city markets we could hear more COM
plants about high prices than we do
now. as the retail dealers, as well as
the consumers, are now atisfled that
the packers are not to blame for the
high prices. The stock is not to be
had and the dealers generally know
this to he the case.
"The cost of fresh eggs, as well as
some other commodities, is grad
ually growing sitter, With indica-
tions that the season of low prices
has practically passed for this year.
Eggs havt advanced from two to
three cents per dozen during the past
ten days and they are not any too
plentiful The demand for eggs is
at present heavy I'm spite of the fact
that they are wholesaling at from
twenty-five to twenty-five cents"

NATIVE OF CLIFF, kEWttNAW
COUNTY, DIES IN The WEST

A telegram received I'm Negauneo
Monday night announced the death OF
James Driscoll. "a brother of Dennis
and c. u. Driscoll of this city, which
occurred that night in the Holy Cross
hospital at Salt Lake City. Utah,
whore few hours previous he had
submitted To surgical operation,
says the Negaunee Iron Herald.
Deceased. who was known TO a
number in Negaunee. having visited
his brothers here on several occa-
sions, was born March eth. 1861. at
Clifton. Keweenaw county, and left
Hancock in 1888. for Eureka, Utah,
where he had established himself as
one of the leading and highly hon
ored citizens. For the past sixteen
years Mr. Driscoll had held the po-
sition of postmaster at Eureka and
was a member of the state senate in
1895. He was also a member of the
school board continuously for twenty
one years.
Mr. Driscoll's last visit to Negaunee
was about three years ago. when he
accompanied the remains of his broth
err. John. who died in Eureka, to Han
cock for intermeAt.
Deceased is survived by four broth

Two officers OF the state deserve the
warmest Endorsement and unanimous
nomination by the state Republican
convention. They are Franz Kuhn,
attorney general, and Auditor General
O. b. Fuller, comments the Detroit
Journal
No contest is promised for Auditor
General Fullers seat. But the ar
guments against the upper peninsula
used in the governorship campaign
have had some injurious effect on his
political fortunes. 1t is whispered that
with an upper peninsula man running
for governor, the ticket should have
no other candidate from that section
This suggestion will not appeal to
Michigan. Chase s. Osborn was NOM
mated for governor by the entire
state. If the upper peninsula had
failed to vote on the governorship
Mr.. Osborn would have been nomin-
ated. The lower peninsula when il
| nominated him knew Mr.. Fuller was
also on the ticket. Men voted not
against Mr.. Fuller, but for Mr. Os-
born. So there is no ground for talk
of change.
When Mr.. Fuller's services are con-
sidered. talk of change is still more
distasteful. There is no state Off
cial who keeps so diligently to his
duties, so exclusively To his office
work There is no state official with
better native gifts TO devote to his
state. The result is that there has
been no auditor general, with the pos
sible exception of Perry +. Powers
who has served i'm that office who
has done so well. The auditor gen
erals office is a most important one
1t has a large bearing on the tan
collections and financial disburse-
ments of the state. The auditor gen.
eral should never be lightly changed
and when IL is in q state changed
and when the department is in state
Of frst-class efficiency. talk of change
should at once be silenced. Wayne
and Michigan should indorse him.
Attorney General Kuhn, too. de-
serves in every way the Endorsement
OF his fellow-citizens He is young
energetic and progressive. He is q
nrst-cla lawyer He has had train
ing both at the bar and on the bench
He represents the solid German Am
erican stock which has proved so val
liable a fiber in the building up of the
Michigan commonwealth.
Though he was appointed only a
few months ago to the office of at
torncy general. Mr. Kuhn entered on
his work with intense industry. His
department handled the innumerablC
inquiries bearing on the primary cleo
ton with veteran skill. The opinions
of Mr.. Kuhn have the merits of clear
ness and strength So good servant
must not be lost to the state.
The possible contest on the nominal
ton Of attorney general should have
only one result. The duty of Wayne
county and Michigan is simple and
clear in the case OF Franz Kuhn, as II
Is in that OF Mr. Fuller.
