Good news was yesterday received
by Mrs. G.. M. Walker. superintendent
of the Good VIII Farm & Home Find
ing association. 1t was good news for
Mrs. Walker and II was good news

bate court.

dency over all the state institutions

Murray of that board. whose Office Is

venile court judge may hereafter II he
so elects. send children who have COM
mitted offenses to this institution in
stead of to the regular state institu-
lions. all Of which are located In the
southern part OF the state.
This action has been anticipated for
several months by Mrs. Walker. as the
Inspector for the board visited the
Good VIII Farm in the spring and II
was but short time after this visit
that Mrs. Walker received a very com
plimentary letter from one OF the high
officials I'm this branch of the state
the letter intimating that
the board would take the action de-
scribed above, which they did mt their
meeting held in Lansing last Friday.
II Is the opinion OF those interested In

L'ANse GETS FISH HATCHERY.
Unofficial Information Reaches Hough-
ton to This Effect,

Unofficial information was received
in Houghton last evening 10 the effect
that L'Anse had been selected by Su-
perintendent Marks OF the 500 fish
hatchery at the place 90 which the
500 hatcheries shall be removed. While
this information Is not Official il is
received from such a source as to
cause the Houghton people who inter
ested themselves in trying to get the
hatchery located I'm either Houghton
or Keweenaw counties to believe II is
The fishermen Of tho copper country
are glad that the hatchery is to be
located in this part of the upper pc
ninsula. as the fish fry will be in much
better shape for planting than when
they have been carried for many days
in cans before turned loose in the lakes
and streams. This was the only rea-
son the local nimrods were anxious TO
have the hatchery established In this
vicinity, as IL employees very little help
and Is not considered thing Of any
great industrial worth.

WOULD BE ROAD ENGINEER.
Several Applications Received by New
County Road Commission

The county road commission will
not be troubled by n dearth of appli-
cants for the position Of road engineer,
according to latest advices. Many are
seeking the position and have filed
their applications with the commission
and II is probable that the commission
viii announce its selection within a
short time.
II is probable that no real work will
be done upon the roads of this county
by the county commission before next
spring as there are a large number OF
details to be worked out before the
actual operations can be started. In the
intervening time. the roads Of the var
ious townships viii be taken care Of,

COMMUNICATED.
Curio Dealers Express Views On
Much Mooted Tourist Question.

The News is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communicated anent the tour
list question.
In your paper Of the 25th, our atten-
ton was called to an article regarding
the action taken by the business men
of Houghton. regarding the way the
Houghton County Traction company is
catering 10 the tourist business, and
we also note that the merchont quoted
in this article takes a particular slam
at the curio stores. We therefore
wish to say, while we are the ones
hardest hit, we are not the only ones
deprived of the transient business, as
IL affects almost every merchant in the
village.
These tourists have spent thousands
of dollars in our village in the past,
which today we are all losing, drug
stores, candy, cigar and fruit stores,
dry goods and gents furnishing stores
and refreshment emporiums.
Now. since the railroads are catering
to these people, the tourists do not
even have time to visit our streets. If
the business amounted to anything for
the street car company it would be n
different proposition. 1t is very simple
to figure how much profit the COM
pany makes at five cents a throw, ar
ter putting on special cars and getting
out special men. They have to handle
some people to have five dollar profit
left after they have taken hundreds of
dollars out of the village.
These Anchor line boats are good for
at least $500 to the business men of
Houghton every trip they make here
Then why shouldn't the business men
have some kick coming, when they are
paying into the Stone e. Webster in
terests thousands of dollars every year.
and their welfare means ours, and vice
versa.
We also note that the merchant IN
terviewed by your reporter claims that
it doesn't interest him any. He has
not the welfare of this city at heart, or
he would feel different about this mat
ter. Doubtless there are some people
here who don't care what becomes OF
the city after they have made enough
money to retire If they wish and are
willing to let things go any old way
but there is hardly merchant along
our streets today who does not need
all the business he can get, either local
or transient, and many depend entirely
on the tourists for their entire sum-
mer's business, and If they don't get II,
what is the answer? Houghton loses
some of its merchants.

TO me that one way to do this would
be 10 give the circuit court commits
sioner jurisdiction over these cases,
increase their pay and DO away with
the fee system, entirely, as it is this
fee system that often causes much
trouble. Many a man has been taken

Too Big a Risk.

Commonly 1t Is the man himself

came to the conclusion that he was
paying too much for himself when he
was buying his freedom.
He had belonged to an Alabama
planter who owned ferry On the
Chattahoochee River. This ferry the
negro had operated. To make the
ferryman faithful to his duty, the
owner had allowed him one half
the earnings.
Harry saved his gains carefully,
and In the course Of time proposed to
bis master to buy his freedom. The
master consented, and an az cement
was made that Harry should pay
eight hundred dollars for himself,
half In hand.
Not long after this there came az
unusual freshet, Harry's skiff was
caDsized 10 the middle Of the stream,
