Shearson, Hammill & Co: Con-

supplies are certainly not bearish in

is removed we feel unable to advocate

State Highway Commissioner Ely OF
this city is having his troubles in
prosecuting the work OF his office A
Lansing paper tells the story;
Thursday morning was the first in
many weeks that some official of the
state highway commission was not
busy inspecting state award roads
either in the upper or lower peninsula
of Michigan
State Highway Commissioner Ely
returned from an eventful inspection
trip through Mecosta Barry, Gratiot
and Montcalm counties. Deputy Com
missioner Rogers reached Lansing af-
ter finishing work in the southwestern
portion of the state and Department
Engineer Smith was forced to aban-
don work in the northern part of Bay
county on account of the snow.
we have not completed our in
spection work but it is possible that
the remainder OF it will not be per
formed until spring stated the COM
missioner this morning. We have
received information from several
districts that trips there would be use
less as snow of a considerable depth
now covers the roads.
while inspecting three-mile
stretch of gravel road in Mecosta
county, Mr.. Ely viewed one of the
largest sink holes which has bothered
road builders in several
years 1t is just east of Twin Lakes
and almost in the middle of mile of
road to be completed next year which
will prove the terminus of the road
accepted by the commissioner. The
sink hole is over 100 feet across and
30 feet deep Already $500 loads Of
dirt have been dumped into it but at
least 1000 more will be needed to fill
it up.

Michigan is Prosperous.

A despatch from Lansing under date

Reports OF state banks continue to

$40.
"Twenty-four new state banks had
been organized during the year with
a total capital of $4,000, while ten
banks have increased their capital,
Comparing the abstract of reports
made Nov 10 with the corresponding
reports of one year ago, shows an in
crease during the year of $276S4,-
305.27 in loans, discounts, bonds,
mortgages and securities, and an in
crease in deposits of S25,S90.7060S.
Of this latter item there has been an
increase OF $S,1O8,o47.o1 in CONNER

Ann Arbor Railroad.

A New York despatch of November
30 has the following in regard to the
Ann Arbor railroads
Control of the Ann Arbor railroad,
which has been held by the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton railroad since 1904,
Friday passed to a committee Of note
holders of the latter company, of
which Joseph Ramsey. ir.. is chairman.
Because the Detroit, Toledo &
Ironton could not meet $5,500,000 in
notes issued FIVE years ago. the stocks
and bonds which secured the loan
were sold at public auction. Ramsey
was the only bidder to qualify, and
these securities went to him, and with
them control of the Ann Arbor.
The securities sold consisted Of
S5000000 in Detroit, Toledo & Iron
ton ~ per cent bonds, which went
for 100000 and $1,000 shares Of COM
mon and $4,000 shares of preferred
Ann Arbor stock, which combined
brought 100000 The par value Of
all the securities sold was Sl0200.00O."

Maccabees Lose Suit.

The Supreme Tent of the Macca-
bees of Michigan lost an important
suit involving a considerable sum OF
money. A writer from Port Huron re-
ported the affair December as fol
lows:
Following nine years of litigation,
the case of the Supreme Tent, Knights
of the Maccabees of the World,
against the Port Huron Savings bank,
was brought to an end in Port Huron
late Wednesday afternoon when Judge
Byron R. Erskine filed an opinion in
which he held that the bank was in
debted TO the order in the sum of
$4,000, on account of funds brought
into the bank by Charles D. Thomp-
son when he was assistant cashier of
the bank and finance keeper of the
Maccabees. Inasmuch as the Macca-
bees claim the bank was indebted to
them in the sum of S55,485.75, this
finding OF the judge is considered a
victory for the bank.
Nine years ago Wednesday Thomp-
son was charged with the embezzle-
ment of $55,000 of the funds of the
Maccabee order, of which he was f.
nance keeper He was arrested, but
his case never came to trial In the
suit yesterday decree was also rem
dered against Thompson for the sum
of S65,43l, which with interest, will
amount 70 about $83, 1000.
at appears from the finding Of
Judge Erskine that the rules of the
Maccabees required its funds to be
withdrawn from its repositories only
en- a warrant signed by the supreme
commander, supreme record keeper
and countersigned by its finance
keeper. But these requirements were
not observed. according to the finding
Thompson withdrawing and trans
ferring the funds without the sigma
lures OF the other officers. This
course continued during the entire
period covered by this controversy,
and after the complainant was criti-
cised by the Illinois insurance depart
ment in October 1890, for its loose
ness in this respect.
Thompson is at the present time
engaged in business in San Francisco,
Cal The litigation has been before
the supreme court Of Michigan on
three different occasions. Volumes Of
testimony have been taken and the
finding alone fled yesterday by Judge
Erskine represents 30 days work

Farmers Boys.

The commonly discussed subject.
How TO Keep the Boy ON the Farm

maiden ladies and old bachelors.
while as a matter OF fact. no one

There are two real reasons why a
country boy leaves the farm. AS
rule he is not allowed to assume re-
sponsibilities which will interest and
develop him. And. again. he is not
given real financial interest in the
business of the farm early enough in
life. Cases are altogether too numer-
