ENRoLL ON PRIMARY DAY.
Any Person Prevented From Enrolling
on Regular Day May Do So
on September 6.

One feature of Michigan's primary
election law which is not clearly nm
derstood is that which applies to per-
sons who were prevented from enroll
ing at the last enrolment day but who
are qualified electors. Any person who
became of legal age or citizen since
the elections last spring or who was
prevented from enrolling by sickness
or other reasons may enroll on Tues
day, Sept. 6, primary election day, and
vote at the primary election.
Section 10 of the act governing pri-
mary elections says:
Any qualified elector in any election
precinct in this state, who failed to
have his name enrolled on enrolment
day by reason of sickness or unavoid-
able absence from the election precinct,
and who is qualified elector in said
precinct on primary election day or any
person who may have become twenty
one years of age or qualified elector
after enrolment day, may have his
name enrolled by the board of primary
election inspectors on any primary
election day upon making oath as pro
vided in the general election law, .rela-
tive to the registration of electors on
election days; or any person who was
duly enrolled in the manner herein pro-
vided but who has changed his resi-
dence to any election precinct, other
than that in which he was enrolled,
may be enrolled in the new election
precinct and may vote therein
Provided that he has resided in the
election precinct in which he seeks to
be enrolled for a period of twenty days
and that he obtained from a member
of the enrolment board Of the election
precinct in which he formerly resided,
a certificate stating that he was duly
enrolled in such precinct, and that he
is entitled to enrolment in new pre-
cinct, which certificate shall contain all
the data set forth by the enrolment
board of primary election inspectors,
upon making oath to such fact as pro-
vided in the general election law rela-
tive to the registration of electors on
election day, Of the existence of such
facts.

Eighty years or more ago Methodism
was first introduced among the Indians
of this section. Those whose names
are recorded as the first to begin this
work are John Cobbage, Peter Marks
man, George Copway and George
Baker. After a number of years OF
preparation, through the efforts OF
these men, Dave Curtis, A. c. Shaw,
and Rev. J. w. Petzel, who have the
honor of being the first Methodist mis-.
sionaries, came to take up the work.
The first camp meeting held by the
Indians took place about thirty-nint
years ago on the present site of Pc
quaming village. This meeting wa:
largely attended by Indians from Saul
Ste. Marie and Bay Mills and othel
sections of the upper peninsula. Stay
ing on this site for three years, th'
association moved to grove. one-hal
mile east of the village, remaining fo
a period of two years. They then re
moved to two and one-half miles from
L'Anse, where they remained unit
about % years ago, when they removed
to the present location, north of Pc
quaming, overlooking Keweenaw Bay.
Just as regular as we turn over &
new leaf, the camp meeting has beer
held. Here, year after year, the Indi
ans and others meet to worship anc
talk over old times. Our red brothers
are fast dimishing in numbers and this
affords them splendid opportunity tc
assemble and live back in the older
days.

best known young men of the Com
stock, died suddenly this morning
at the home of his father and moth
er, Mr.. and Mrs James Comeford,
at the Nortilend, and his death.
which was entirely unexpected, has

CARSON VALLEY NOTES
OF GENERAL INTEREST
What the People Above This Sec
ton are Doing

The surveying party that has been
in Hope Valley for the past month
working on the power site, nave
about completed their labors, and
are preparing to move to Silver
King and Bagley Valley and will BE-
employed there until the storm
drives them from that high altitude.
Reports were brought from Lake
Valley this week telling of the cut
ting of giant tree by VIM McFaull
and Robert Fake The tree meas
ured eight feet through at the
ground and 40 cords of wood was
cut from the forest giant. That
amount of wood delivered in Gard
nerville would be worth about $4OO.
Two expert trappers have been at
work on the different streams of the
East Fork for the past six weeks
and have been very successful. Mink
fur is very expensive now and the
trappers have caught many of these
little animals. Musk rats and skunks
have also been found to be plenti-
full. 1t is not generally known, but
a fact, however, that fur sets labeled
brown marten is really skunk and
their pelts bring fancy price.

WORK OF R. R. COMMISSION
is THE SUBJECT OF TALK
Nevada Merchant Makes Statement
of General Interest

Aside from any political question
-the election being over there i:
continuous discussion relative to
the Railroad Commission Of this
state. Yesterday one OF the repre-
sentatives of one of the largest hard
| ware houses in Nevada paid a visit
to this city. In the round -the-stove
conversation, in which half-dozen
citizens were warming up, the talk
of the work of the Commission came
up. The gentleman, who covers
town OF any size in the state, and
who did not quote his political creed
gave the hearers some pretty
straight lines on tine good work OF
the Commission and the future that
is before it,
He stated that first of all that this
Office should be let alone. 1t had
performed more good for the state
in the past two years than has the
Commission of California since its
organization In talking of the
back-naul measure which is to be
knocked out the first Of next month,
he showed figures to the effect that
Nevada has been paying the South
ern Pacific about six hundred thous-
and dollars year for an imaginary
back-haul from Sacramento to points
in this state. He cited case of 4
carload OF wagons received from the
East. The back ilaul on each wagon
amounts to more than ten dollars
and this figured on carload lots.
This profit is to go to the rancher.
The same rate can be figured on all
agricultural implements. With the
reduction of freight rates and the
destruction of the back haul the
people of this state benefit not only
the six hundred thousand dollars
they have paid for back haul but

! further benefit by reduction on all
freights that will come to Nevada.
In speaking of the proposed
change of the law placing the Com
mission on elective tickets as against
the appointive measure he stated
that the business men in body
would fight sucn movement, not
from any political standpoint but for
the benefit of the people and them
selves AS he explained the matter
it was simply one of general protec-
ton. The gentleman cited reduc
ton after reduction to his hearers.
Explained how the railroad had at
tempted to kill the law off with
amendments, sucn as compelling the
merchants in case of complaint to
furnish the cash to carry on his
fight. The amendment was knocked
out. so
He further stated that in his mind
Governor Oddie would be appealed

effect of the law, and he hoped, asi
does every resident that Mr.. Oddie
will see that his promise to the peo-
pie will be kept; that he will further
safeguard this important Nevada
law and turn a deaf ear to any who
would take the power of the Com
missioners away in any sense. Ne,
vada is about to receive substan-,
tial benefit on this score and after
paying the Southern Pacific millions
of dollars in straight robbery the
people would never forgive any
Governor or other official who made
it possible for the big corporation,
to again place its hands i'll the peo-
pies pockets.
The around the-stove talk is a
mighty good scheme for all our
citizens.
