DEGENERATION.

Before the Spanish war, she was the
dainty yacht Alicia, owned by Henry
NJ. Flagler. The United States bought
her and rechristened her the Hornet,
Alicia being a bit too eliminate for a
warship. On June 80. 1898. the Hor-
net, with the Hist and the Wompatuck,
got into a sharp little action with the
Spanish batteries near Manzanillo. The
Hornet was struck many times, had
her steampipe cut and was thereby abb
solutely disabled. The Wampatuek
towed her out of danger. After the
war the government sold her and the
former millionairess went into trade.
Now she has reappeared as a suspect
ed flibuster, which, as everyone knows
is only one remove from pirate. She
has sailed from New Orleans with a
nominal cargo of coal, under which, it
is supposed, is concealed supply of

IMMIGRANTS AS FARMERS.

If immigrants, as some investigators
think. have a strong desire to become
American farmers, the United States
should be able to accommodate them.
The newcomers could obtain better
land here than elsewhere for small

tary CONSUMPTION. Their taxes would
also be moderate and they would be
able to live comfortably.
If more immigrants who are agricul-
turists by habit and training would
leave the seaports Immediately after
landing and go into any of our states
they would benefit themselves and the
country. Their remaining in cities
merely assists in aiding to the conges-
ton of population and works to the
DISADVANTAGES of thousands of citizens.

ever apparent the strong tendency

VILLAGE OF RED JACKET
HAS A POSTOffICt SITE
Federal Government Could Secure
Fee of the Land by Pur-
chasing 1t.
MEETS EVERY REQUIREMENT

Few people in Calumet are cogniz-
ant of the fact that the village of Red
Jacket owns the only site i'm this COM
munity which meets every require
mcnt for a federal postohice. The chief
objection which has been raised to Sc
curing a federal appropriation for the
erection of a postollice building here
is the fact that II would DE possible
for the government to purchase only
surface rights to the land. However,
there is one lot owned by the village,
10 which this objection could not be
raised, as the village has what is
known legally as the fee of the land,
To the property This carries with II
mineral rights as well as surface
rights.
This lot is situated on the east side
Of Fifth street. and is occupied by the
old fire hall. II became the property
of the village of Red Jacket i'm 1889.
the purchase price paid for il being
5000, according 10 the original deed
now i'm the hands of the village clerk.
II is questionable whether the lot can
be bought for less than $4,000 today.
II has frontage of 5S feet, and very
valuable asset. a depth of 14S feet.
The property first passed from
the state of Michigan in 1859
into the hands of Thomas +.
Marks. Samuel Smith was the next
to own it, and then it was decided to
lady named Francis Hubert. The
lot was plated i'm the year 1868 and
became part of the village of Red
Jacket. In the same year it was trans
ferred to the Portland Copper Co, of
which Edward j. Hubert was presi-
dent, and John Hubert. treasurer. In
1872 the Protection Fire Insurance
of Red Jacket, No. I. a volun-
tccr fire company, obtained 40 year
lease on the property and erected the
present building there, which was used
as the fire hall. This company became
defunct, and the property eventually
passed into the hands of the Red Jack
ct village i'm 1889. The village has
held it ever since, but it is understood
that the council would be willing To
dispose of it if suitable price can be
secured
