PASSES BEYOND
EXPLORER WHO D SCOvER D

LODE DIES AT RoME-WAS
FOUNDER OF CALUMET.

Word has been received I'm Calumet
announcing the death of Edwin j. HUI
bert, explorer, which occurred at
Rome, Italy, where he had been locat-
ed during the later years of his life. on
October 20. Mr.. Hubert was the dis
coverer of the Calumet conglomerate
copper lode, and the man who made
Calumet possible While Mr.. Hubert
had not visited the scene of his great
est achievement for many years, his
intimate association with the earlier
period of Calumets history, caused
him to be considered still part OF the
great copper country, and his death
seems "A personal loss to those who are
now proiiting by his discoveries, as
well as by those who knew him person
ally.
First White Child Born In U. p.
Mr.. Hubert was the first white child
horn in the Lake Superior region, and
the oldest pioneer of Upper Michigan
He was born at Fort Brady, Sault Ste
Marie on April 80, 1929, and was the
son of John Hubert, who located there
in 1913 as butler to the garrison. His
mother was a sister of Henry r
Schoolcraft. the famous geologist, ex-
plorer and etymologist.
Schoolcraft had been associated
with DR.. Douglas Houghton, who first
directed the attention of the CONNER
cial world to the resourcefulness OF
the Lake Superior region. Guided by
Schoolcraft, DIR. Houghton made his
first trip through the district now
Known as Keweenaw Point, while still
in his teens, between the years 1926
and 1890 Houghton's enthusiasm was
aroused by the knowledge and exper-
fence he gained in his trips with
Schoolcraft. and he continued his ex-
plorations and discoveries up to the
time of his tragic death. by drowning
off Keweenaw Point in 1S45, after re-

Went To Live In Rome.

Aside from the great discoveries
which have given him such promi-
nent place among the pioneers of Up
per Michigan. Hubert was known as
dreamer. and II is probably this
characteristic which kept him from
realizing TO an even greater measure
the success which his persistent and
logged pursuit of the great copper
bearing lode brought for him.
Upon his retirement from active
work in this field Mr.. Hubert took up
his residence In Rome and during the

GREATER BOSTON URGED.
BY Annexation. the "Hubg Could Be
Fourth in Country.

Boston, Sept l5.--The recent an
nouncement Of the population Of Boston,
as shown by the census Of 1910, disclos-
ing the fact that Boston is still ranked
below st. Louis as the fifth city in the
country, has revived the discussion Of
the advisability Of making a Greater
Boston, by annexing adjoining cities and
towns. It is pointed out by business
men that Boston is the only large city
IN the country whose immediate suburbs
are not so incorporated with the city as
to be included in the population fg-
vres
The total bank clearings for st. Louis
for 1909, according to q prominent local
banker, were S323,0O0,000, while Bos-
toms bank clearings for the same year
were $77I 100000, and he contended that
this represents the real relative size Of
the two cities.
The total population Of the thirteen
cities and twenty y-seven towns, including
Boston, of the metropolitan district
which are now combining in various de-
partmenfs Of metropolitan administra-
tion, was l.l6s,7S8 in 1900, and ,259,6S2
according to the state census OF 1905.
With the figures for Boston proper
known, an estimate made to-day places
the 1910 population Of Greater Boston
at ,439,I82, which would make Boston
the fourth city in the country.

The statement made year ago by
Lucius Tuttle. the recently resigned pres
ident OF the Boston & Maine railroad,
swhen the employees Of the road made q
demand for an increase Of wages, that
the b. & NJ. would grant the increase,
but the public would have to pay for it,
became a fact to-day, when the new
passenger tariff rates issued August Is
went into effect, materially increasing
the cost OF transportation by ticket over
the lines of that railroad. The general
increase IN the cost OF labor, material
aud fuel is said to be the company's
reason for raising its rates.
Beginning to-day, a ticket from Barre
to Boston costs IS cents more than for

surveyors have been at work at different
times during the summer along the riv-
er and that al least three farm owners
iu Clarendon, whose places border on
the stream, have received checks TO bind
options on their property.
