Ballinger Comes West.

Secretary BalIiHger viii lie absent in
the West again a considerable time this
summer. The operations Of his depart
ment have to do almost entirely with
the West. The recess VIII probably be
more welcome to him than to any other
member of the cabinet. The constant
attacks upon his administration, led by
eN-Forestcr Pinchot and other promi-
ueut conseryationists would unnerve
the average man. These and the con
gressional Investigation Of the winter,
have naturally demoralized the conduct
Of his department and he will probably
seek to get back upon a good stable
basis during the summer. There is no
small task ahead in attending to the
details of an issue of $20,Q00,000 of
treasury certificates to pay for work
upon divers irrigation projects now
well under way. This viii necessitate
vast deal of inquiry and of prepara-

British Cruiser Wrecked.

Eighteen lives were lost when the
British cruiser Bedford ran ashore on
the rocks off Quelpart island, Korea,
according to the report received in
London by the admiralty. The men
were members of the engine room
staff.
The vessel lies in such a desperate
position that there is practically no
possibility OF saving her.
The accident occurred during full
speed trials OF the vessel and the
cruiser was evidently badly holed,
since the deaths are said officially to
have been due To the thrush .of
water" The scene Of the wreck is
the Samarang rocks a group of rocks
about two miles TO the west of Bar
low island. which is off the south
western point Of Quelpart island.
Many sunken rocks are charted in
this vicinity and navigation in the
passage between Barlow island and
Giffard island, its neighboT. is not rec
commended for this reason.

REPUBLICANS READY TO VOTE
The Results Disclose That the Total
Vote Cast for Governor In 1908
Was 51,282.

Lansing. must have been
getting busy in the upper peninsula,
according to a few statistics gathered
by the secretary of states office.
According to the figures on file, the
Is counties comprising the upper pen-
Ursula show a total of 5S,135 Repub-
licans enrolled for the primaries next
month. Now the total Republican
vote cast at the primaries for the
three candidates for governor in 1905
from these Is counties was but 49,
036, while the Michigan manual shows
that 743 additional votes were cast at
the primaries for candidates from
other political parties. This makes
total OF but 1879 votes cast at the
primaries in the upper peninsula in
September. 1908.
This year the records disclose the
fact that there are SS,135 Republicans
enrolled ready to cast their votes.
Going still farther the records dis
close that the total vote cast for gov
ernor in 1908 from these counties was
but 51,2S2. Marquette county shows
q Republican enrolment this year OF
1o,33S, while the total vote for gov
ernor in 1908 was but 1872 and the
vote at the primaries the same year
was only 1926. Gogebic, Ontonagon,
Baraga, Dickinson, Alger, Delta,
Schoolcraft, Luce and Chippewa
counties also have more Republicans
enrolled this year than they had votes
for governor In 1908.
Marquette county cast a total OF
3,409 votes for all candidates for gov
ernor at the primaries in 1908, but
this year shows a Republican enroll
ment OF 10,33s.
Politicians over this way are
scratching their heads and wondering
how 1t all comes about. Some are
figuring on the population OF the Ia
counties, while others are wondering
where all these Republicans have
been secreting themselves for the
past two years.

State Leads in FraternaI Work

state Leads IN Fraternal work
Michigan stands first among the
states in fraternal insurance, with
headquarters OF some Of the very
largest organizations of this class, and
with probably a larger proportion of
her residents enrolled in fraternal in
surance orders than any other state
in the Union
That was the tenor of the address
in which Gov. Warner, at Detroit,
formally welcomed the National Fra
ternal congress to the state, and it
was received with enthusiasm by the
delegates. Controller Heineman ten
dered the city's greetings, and w. w,

were from President Cannon, EXPIRES

sent billions of fraternal insurance and
place all the weaker orders on firm
basis of solvency was indicated in the

Assessment Likely to Cause Rumpus

There is likely to be something
doing" when the state board of tax
commissioners hold their general re-

village of Midland in September.
1t will be remembered that some

sessed valuation of the Dow Chemi-
cal Co. was assessed this year at
double what It was the year before,
and it was alleged that the vets
were instrumental in having the as

fact that the proprietor of the plant
affiliated with the dry" forces. The
findings of the state commission will

state total of $S,459.74 or Slap
above the amount at which the state
had appraised the properties. This
sale, according to Mr.. Russell, plainly
shows that land values are getting
better all the time, and that real es-
tate is being more sought after. The
average expense Of conducting a land
sale is estimated at $3.50, and almost
every sale held of late has Melted the
state more money than the state ap.
