of his nomination and election which
in most instances has already event

ton i'm his behalf.
THE Osborn campaign is now well
along toward careful effective and
state wide organization. The upper

er seen anything like the organization
which now exists in Mr.. Osborns in
terest i'm this district. Osborn clubs
have been organized in every county IN
the peninsula but two. and i'm these
formal organizations will he accom-
plished within the next two weeks.
Wheh spring election day arrives the
plans for securing a complete enroll
ment of the fun republican strength
in the peninsula will be absolutely
complete and the result will surprise
the state. Never before in the history
of the district has anything political
approached in un animity the feeling |
Of friendlincss now being exhibited |
toward Mr.. Osborn.
Osborn sentiment is now predom-
inant in the upper peninsula, the |
northern portion of the lower PENN
sula, the Saginaw Valley, the Seventh
Congressional district and i'm Wayne
county In the central and lower coun-
ties organization work is proceeding
rapidly and strong assurances of sup
port from active and prominent re-
publicans are coming in daily"

FOREST FIRES WERE NOT
AS DESTRUCTIVE IN 1909
Burned Area Was Considerable
Smaller in Country Than
During 1908.
1888 BIG FIRES LAST YEAR

Fire played less havoc in the wool
lands of the national forest states last
year than 1t did i'm 1908. although the
number OF fires was 40 greater The
department Of agriculture has Just
completed the statistics. The protec-
tive value of the work OF the depart
ment is shown in that % almost so
per cent OF the fires were extinguished
before as much as five acres had been
damaged; co less than one and one
half acres 10 the square mile of ma
tional forest land was burned over:
CD and the amount Of damage done
10 the burned over area averaged but
$t.26 per acre.
For the twelve months ended De-
cember 81 last, there were S.1SS fires
on the forests, 1.1S6 caused by locomo-
tives, 49, by campers. 294 by lightning.
1S1 by brush burning 81 by incen-
diarism, SS by sawmlls and donkey en-
gines, 1873 by miscellaneous and 75S by
unknown agencies. The area burned
over was in round figures 100000 acres,
OF which about $4,000 were private
some 10000 acres I'm 1908. Some no.
100000 board feet Of timber was con-
sumed, Of which $4,000. 600 feet was

in the previous year. The loss in wall |
ne Of timber destroyed was less than |
100000 of which close TO $4,000 was |
privately owned The loss of the year
done To reproduction and forage shows
n remarkable decrease less than $780,
GOO being the record for 1909 and over
500. 600 that for 1908.
The largest number OF fires occurred
I'm Idaho-991; but the great increase
over 1908 in that .state-namely. 573-
is entirely attributable TO fires I'm the

OVER $4,000 TAXES DUE.

Reference to the annual statement
of the village of Laurium published a
week or two ago shows that there is
something like S12,391.S9 outstanding
against the taxpayers of the village,
made up of $1,951.S3 delinquent in per-
sonal and real estate taxes, $725O.15
due for sidewalk taxes, and $3.50 due
on water meters. The village has a
loan of $4,000 outstanding. but If the
delinquent taxes, charges, etc, were
paid up. IL can be seen that the village
would be something like $1,000 to the
good.

STATE SCHOOL OFFICERS
CONSIDER PRIMARY FUND
Matter will Come Up at Meeting
to be Held at Lansing
April II and %.
PRESENT METHOD DEFECTIVE

The School Board Section. compos-
ed OF all school officers i'm the state
will meet at Lansing Thursday and
Friday, April 2l and 22. at which time
several questions OF Importance will
| be considered. Among the subjects
to be discussed is the question OF re-
vising the present method OF distrib-
uting the primary school fund. This
fund was originated to pay teachers
salaries, and can be used for no other
purpose, except that under new law
district school boards may pay out IF
IL the tuition of pupils from their dis
tricts To a high school after finishing
its money from two sources: First,
the interest on the original primary
school fund which is a sum derived
from the sale of certain public lands:
and, second, all money derived from
the taxation of corporations whose ar
ticles of incorporation are filed under
the laws Of the state of Michigan. The
latter contribute by far the greater
amount
The trouble with the present system
az distributing the primary school
fund is that in some districts they
have more money than they need. for
they can use it for no other purpose,
under the law. than for the two puc-
poses mentioned, and in other districts
where they are less pupils they have
not enough to pay the salary of teach
ers.
At present the fund is divided among |
the school according to the number of |
children of school age in each of the |
respective school districts.
The teachers salaries i'm the state
amount to considerably more than the
total amount of the primary school
fund, yet under the present system n
lew districts have more than they can
lse
Another important subject that is
% be discussed at the meeting is the
inform text book question. but which
$ not of so much Importance here
or the reason that Jackson county
has uniform text books and will have
or the next five years. Commission
n Sattler figured this proposition out
year or so ago and succeeded in its 4,
ldoption. other counties are striving
o reach the same end, and the ques
ion is sure To bring out lengthy dis
ussion.

The process by which the cognomen

is singular If true. Boniface, we are

For sixteen long years 1 have been

and at last 1 saw l had a bad skin
disease. I tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
cred me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
1t made it impossible for me to walk,
and 1 was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies

and 1 did not need more than a trial
to convince me that was on the road
Of success this time. l bought two
