the amplified degree. The work is very
impressive and spectacular, Lauriua1

contest to be held i'm connection with

perform the work. Since the degree

EARLY SPRING PROMISED;
FARM LAND is PROTECTED

According To Prof. A. L. Gilman OF
Ripon college. head of the department
OF chemistry and geology. this should
be an unusually good spring for the
farmers.
Recent experiments conducted by
him show that the ground has not
been frozen six inches. and that after
the thin upper crust Is dug through
there is no more trouble i'm breaking
the ground than there is during ule
late summer months.
This is unusual. and promises an
early season for the farmers. With
the first real signs OF spring the
ground will be ready for cultivation.
Despite the fact that this has been
one OF the real. old fashioned" win
ters that old residents delight TO talk
about according to farmers IL has
been one OF the easiest winters on
fruit trees and berry bushes that has
been experienced in many years.
There are n large number of truck
arms and orchards i'm this country and
his is also q heavy berry-raising re-
5ion. These industries were aided by
he SHOWS. Covered by the repeated
storms. the berry bushes were not
ouched by the frosts. Neither were
here any heavy sleet storms. bearing |

statement of officials of both lines last
week
The outlook this week is the best
that il has been for three months"
said an official OF the Chicago and
North Western railroad. There still
are many freight cars due in this
section, but they are coming in nice
ly, and as far as outgoing traffic is
concerned the situation is satisfac-
tory. These conditions are crafty

Congestion due to storms. strikes

tically at an end on our lines" said
an official of the Chicago. Milwaukee

time"
With the opening Of the weather,
construction work on the railroads is

bridges have been built in the factor
les, and work on installing them TO
complete the double track Of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul. will be
begun in a few days. The concrete
foundations are all in place, and this
is considered three-quarters of the
work by the railroad officials. AS
soon as the snow is gone the steel will
be laid and the tracks balasted. so
that in two months the Doubt track
system will be in operation. Work on

WEATHER UNFAvCRABLE FOR
HOLDING SKI TOURNAMENT

owing to the high wind and thaw
yesterday the ski tournament that was
to have been held i'm the afternoon
was indefinitely postponed. number
OF the jumpers visited the hill but
found the snow too soft and the wind
too strong for good jumps.
The ski club has considerable money
on hand and promises to give some
excellent prizes to the winners of the
next tournament. 1t is quite probable
the meet will be pulled off next Sunday
afternoon provided weather conditions
are favorable.
1t is likely that whenever the tour

BUILDING OUTLOOK GOOD.
Architects and Contractors Look for
Successful Season.

Il believe the coming season will be
one of the best that Calumet has ever
enjoyed" is the statement made by f
w. Hessenmueller. the well known
Calumet architect TODAY. when asked
his opinion of the building outlook.
plans are now being considered for
work which will cause 1910 to rank at
or very near the top, as a building
year"
Mr.. Hessenmueller's optimism is
likewise felt by other architects and
builders i'm Calumet. Almost without
exception they look forward to a very
successful year. One of the contract
ors stated today that he expects al
most S1,000,000 worth of buildings 20
be erected in the copper country. This
does not include Calumet alone, but
his estimate embraces the entire coun-
~. When 1t is remembered that few
years ago. the new buildings erected
in Calumet in a single season aggre-
gated over S64O,OOO. it seems entirely
possible that the $1.OO0,00O mark will
be reached this year.
Plans have not matured for many
large buildings in the county so far,
but a number of small business blocks
and dwellings have been projected AL
though the prices of lumber are quite
high, ii is not thought they will re-
tard the building very much. as ce-
ment products, brick and stone are
becoming quite popular in this dis
trict.

RAILROAD COMMISSION TO
PROBE EXPRESS COMPANIES
Compiling Statistics to Show In
equality of Rates In State
of Michigan.
GLASGOW DISCUSSES REASON

Acting i'm line with Gov. Warmers
notice given at the Big Rapids ban
quot last week. that before he retires
from Office next December he is going
TO have wholesale equalizing of ex-
press companies rates, the railroad
commission is now compiling a COM
prehensive record OF the charges of the
three express companies doing bust
ness in Michgan-the American, Unit
ed States and National-make between
many points. When completed the
companies will be invited to appear
before the commission and explain
what appear to be great many un-
reasonably high rates.
President Glasgow, Of the commits
sion. was explaining recently about
some kinds OF unequal rates. Take.
for instance, where one railroad line
crosses another. Between two sta
tions on one of the lines say 100 miles
apart. a package may be sent for 20
cents. But If il originates only 10
miles from the junction point and is
transferred at the junction and sent
10 a point 10 miles on the other line.
each line collects a chance of 25 cents.
or so cents for 20 miles. while over
100 miles on either line the charge !
would be but 25 cents.
Again, take a large distributing GEN. |
ter like Detroit or Grand Rapids. Be |
tween either of these cities and a large \
town so miles away the charge for a
package may be 20 cents. Between the
big city and another large town. so
miles away, IL is still 20 cents. But
for village between the 5O-mile and
the S0-mile large towns the rate is
40 cents. There are said TO be a great
many cases that fit this illustration.
President Glasgow says these in
CAPABILITIES came about in various
ways, and most of them date back TO
the beginning of the express service
When schedules were originally
framed a town that received and sent
a considerable amount of express ma
terial put up a kick and got a low
rate. The town that made no kick
got a higher rate. And many rates
made this way continue TO the pres
ent day. il is said. The commission
has ample power under the 1909 law {
Ia compel the companies to even their Z
rates up. or down, and that is what
President Glasgow proposes to do.
