sion to the Houghton County Tubercu-
losis hospital or sanitarium and the
eligibility of patients. 1t was decided
that the matter of whether patients

ton arose through an application for

through the Anti Tuberculosis society
of Houghton county. which wanted to
place the patient there as a paid appli-
cant.

the payment to the secretary of the

not members of the board of supervis-
ors.

share expenses with the company.

VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
Biennial Session Of Lawmakers Takes
Place Tomorrow.


Richmond. Va. Jan. 11.-Members
of the Virginia general assembly are
gathering i'm the capital in readiness
for the opening of the biennial session
tomorrow. The program for the ses-
sion, so far as Il has been discussed,
is well calculated TO keep tile legisla-
tors busy during the next sixty days.
The senatorial election viii be quick
ly disposed Of as the result of the
last state primary assures the re-elec-
tion OF Senator Daniel without oppo-
sition. Nor does there exist pros
pect of any long debates over the in
come tax amendment. From present
indications it appears certain that the
amendment will be ratified.
When these two items of business OF
national interest have been disposed
of the assembly will turn its attention
to new state legislation. a compre-
hensive primary law applicable to all
parties will probably be passed. The
Democratic party in Virginia has been
nominating all its candidates by di-
rect primaries for the past five years.
but the method has never been made
obligatory by law. The new measure
will probably provide for an advisory
vote on United States senator. Liquor
legislation is certain to be brought up
i'm one form or another. A majority
of the assemblymen are on record as
favoring the present local option laws,
but the Anti-Saloon league will prob
ably make fight for the submission
Of statewide prohibition to the vot-
ers.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 11.-Marcus
Schaff, OF Munising, will be the first
state forester of Michigan, IL he will
accept the position at the annual SAL
ary OF $1,000, which is all the public
domain commission can afford to pay.
This announcement was made by
State Land Commissioner Huntley
Russell after the commission, at their
meeting, gave him authority to APP
point the officer.
The commission also decided to
withdraw from sale, temporarily, all
the state tax homestead lands in
Dscoda, Ogemaw, Altoona and Iosco
counties, pending the final settlement
OF the tract that is to comprise the
state forest reserve.
q What we need is young men
trained for forestry work by course
in college," said Commissioner Rus
sell this morning. "The M. A. G. will
turn out 30 young men who have taken
thls course, I'm June but the state
cannot get any of them. as the gov
eminent has already secured their
services. And If Michigan had it's ap-
plication in in time, the men would
not accept, for at present there is not
enough money at the command of the
public domain commission to pay them
the salaries they can secure from other
sources"
