SUPERVISORS MEET TOMORROW.
Matters Of Much Importance to Come
Before the Board.

The Houghton county board of super
visors will meet at the county building
tomorrow morning in the first month
~ session to be held since the town
ship elections. There will be few
new members to be sworn in before
the board can take up other business.
Among the matters to be taken up
is the report of the building commit
tee on the question of charging the
present jail or otherwise relieving the
overcrowded condition of the prison.
II is thought that the committee of
finance will also make report upon
the bill of the village of Laurium for
the expense incurred by the village I'm

Attorney O'Brien of the firm of O'Brien
d LeGendre, is pressing this claim as

PROTESTS OF MOTOR BOAT
OWNERS HAVE BEEN NEEDED

A copy OF the proposed new regula'
lions for motor boats, under which
they are classed as motor boats and
not the same as 6O0-foot freighters
shows that the main objections oil
the boat owners have been met.
Motor boats are divided into three
classes. The first includes all 20 feet
or under; the second. those between
% and 40 feet. and the third those
between 40 and 65 feet.
All classes must carry life preserv-
ers or cushions sufficient to hold up
all on board. Formerly only boats
carrying passengers for hire were so
required. All boats must carry also
whistle that will give a fairly loud
noise that lasts as least two Sec
onds. Formerly the only requirement
was that the blast could be heard two
miles. meaning a big load for a
small boat. Also all boats must carry
stern light. which is new, prevent
ing rear-end collisions.
The first class, or smallest boat. Is
required to carry only this whistle
the life preservers and two lights one
white light at the stern and the
other a combination red and green
light at the bow. II must not carry
a white light at the bow. Formerly
even the smallest motor was required
to carry separate red. white and green
lights at the bow.
The other two classes carry thu
same equipment. except that the third
class must have larger lights and big
Der bells. etc.
These boats must carry the stern
light and separate red. white and
green lights at the bow. Each must
carry n fog horn and bell and the
whistle and life preservers mentioned
before. The objectional big screens
for the side lights are partly done
away with. Instead of three foot
screens the second class boats need
only have them Is inches long and
the third class two feet
One new thing required on second
and third class boats is that some
thing that will extinguish a gasoline
blaze must be carried. A fine of s25 |
that will not be RENTED is provided |
for this.
As it stands, the law likely will be |
passed by congress. with only slight |
It is practically the bill |
asked by the motor boat owners.

that time, King began to add a little to
his speed and in the eighth lap of this
mile he spurted and passed the Fin
nish runner. At the finish of his three
mile turn, King had gained full lap
on the lead Steitz had rolled up while
running against hilbert, making Steitz's
lead at the end of the eighth mile about
three-fourths of a lap. The time chalk
ed up for Steitz for these three miles
was 4:55, 5:03 and 453, respectively
while the time of King was something
better than that.
Tanners Run,
At this point Tanner entered the
race and at first looked as if he would
also make a gain upon Steitz, reducing
the Firms lead on the first lap. Tan
ner soon showed, however, that he was
not in training for such a long grind
and the visitor was soon at his heels,
up to him in the middle of
the first mile. For almost the entire
balance of the five miles Steitz APP
peared to be content to let Tanner act
as pace-maker, ploddng along at his
heels. At the end OF the hours run
ming Steitz had run IL miles and II
laps while the men against him were
just a lap behind him, except for the
short space separating the two run
ners. In the third lap of the thirteenth
mile, which was Tannefs' last one.
Steitz attempted to pass Tanner, but

In order to present the stealing OF
timber from state lands, Commission
Huntley Russell OF the state land Of
fee has prepared a circular letter
which is being forwarded to members
of the boards of supervisors in the
various counties where state land is
located urging them to use their inilu-
ence TO assist the commission in put
ting a stop TO these violations. The
letter Is as follows:
For many years past, there have
been enormous amounts of lumber cut
from lands held in trust by the state
in the northern counties. The loss oc-
casioned by such cutting and removal
of timber has deprecated the value
OF these lands 10 a marked degree.
and the townships and county in
which they are situated have suffered
by far the greatest loss. The greater

OF the lands held by the state, the less
salable they become, and hence a fur

their burden Of the apportionment OF
the taxes for the township.
The proceeds from the sale Of state
tax and tax homestead lands are di-
vided between the township, county
and state, as their interest may APP
pear upon the books of the auditor
generals Office. The records show that
the interest OF the township and
county is approximately seventy-two
per cent while that of the state is
only twenty eight. Therefore, aside
from the benefit afforded the town
ship in the return of these lands to
the tax roll, their apportionment of |
about seventytwo per cent from the |
proceeds of the sales is a matter of |
great Importance to the people of the |
townships and county.
I'm view Of these facts, il is need
less TO say that these lands cannot |
be sold as readily nor the amount |

department., with your kind assistance
and cooperation, to find and investi-
gate thoroughly every case of tres
