WILL TELL OF OPPORTUNITIES
IN UPPER PENINSULA
George Williams, of Copper Range
Railway, Speaks at Wholesalers
Luncheon Wednesday Noon.

$50 rapidly has been the growth or
the upper peninsula. especially IN the
copper regions. and SO rapid the ac-
emulation OF wealth by its inhabit-
ants, that the trade of that territory
which might have been looked upon
a. insignificant few years ago, has
grown to proportions well worth look
ing after" says w. G.. Noack, presi-
dent of the Wholesalers and Manufac-
turers association. The sentiment
among the business interests OF that
territory has within short period
changed largely toward doing trading
in Detroit. This has been due TO sew
eral causes. One Is better shipping
facilities and more prompt delivery oil
goods. brought about by the transpor,
tation department of this association.
Another is Detroits being placed on
an equal basis with Milwaukee and
Chicago as to rates. There are In my
estimation, unlimited opportunities
with the expansion of business OF De-
troit wholesale houses in this territory.
George Williams, general freight
agent Of the Copper Range railroad,
with headquarters In Calumet, has
been very much interested In this
question and has contributed largely
to better facilities for the Transports
ton OF goods between Detroit and the
upper peninsula. He is man who is
a keen observer and a splendid talker.
lie will speak at our luncheon, We'd
nesday noon, and tell the Detroit
wholesalers and manufacturers how
they can get hold of the trade of the
upper peninsula. He knows whereof
he speaks, and is willing to place him
self on record. An unusually large at.
tendance Is expected at the luncheon

TO further delay the hearing OF the

desires, according TO District Attor-

made with the government regularly

In Office. II was up to the govern

each of these half-yearly statements

simply that Harsha had not faithfully

counted for all moneys was not suf

action, he argued.

bad been too busy with his evening
paper to see the forlorn working wO-

which the lady very graciously ac-

The car rumbled on, and the little
woman dropped YEARLY.
Finally an old man who sat with his
back to the little woman happened to
turn himself about He noted the tired
face and promptly left his seat and
offered it to her.
And as she sat down he saw tears in
her eyes.
All about her as she hung to her
strap she had seen consideration paid
to strong and handsome women, while
she was too weak and too miserable TO
attract or claim a woman's privilege.
Denied common courtesy, singled out
and isolated as the only woman on the
car to be thus treated-how could you
hurt a woman more than that?
The old man was the only chivalric
soul of them all
Oh, there were a-plenty Of men there
more polite in their demeanor, more
urbane and polished in their bearing
than he, but of them all he alone ex-
hibited the real courtesy that does not
discriminate!
Evidently he was of the belief that
If one woman was entitled to a seat
as matter of courtesy all women
were thus entitled.
And it may bel like to think So
1t may be he was of the belief that
If any woman should stand in street
car and hold on to a strap it is the
woman who in the afternoon makes an
elaborate toilet to come down town
and look into the shop windows or do
little desultory buying rather than
the woman who is tired in body and
soul because she must work for liv-
| ing.
