NORTH MICHIGAN
IN SUMMERTIME
Delightful Spot in which to Enjoy
Summer Vacation - Easily
Reached and Abundant
Accommodations

During the sultry days of sum-
rer, everyone who can possibly
get away from the heat of the
city, lets his fancy run to cool
spots where he can take his fam
lily or go with friends and evade
the sitting heat. Mackinac Is
land is particularly favored in
this respect. Thousands Of tour
lists and others visit it every sum-
mer and the number is constantly
increasing.
AS summer resort its fame is
known far and wide, and it has
become a fairyland for refugees
from the heat and care of life in
cities and towns-a paradise it is,
indeed. Scenes were enacted there
that helped to make the United
States what they are to-day.
Hilly and rocky, yet with beauti-
full drives scattered all over it, it
is the ideal spot. The natural OBJ
jects of interest on the island are
many, not the least of which is

WANT DAMS RAISED
IN REVERSE ORDER
Rivermen Claim They Can Navigate
Continuously II Their Scheme
Is Followed.

Charleston.-A movement is on
among rivermen TO prepare petition
to the federal government. which also
is to be presented to the National
Deep Waterways commission during
its proposed visit to Wheeling, touch
ing upon the present system of oper-
ating dams and constructing new
dams.
For years the system of putting up
the dams in low water has been to
begin at the upper points on the river
and work downward as the pools be-
come filed. This method caused much
delay in the operation of the packets,
as 1t usually takes two or three days
for n pool to become filed, and in that
time the water below the wickets be-
comes too low for navigation. The
loss of time was continued as each
successive dam was raised along the
river course.
The petition will ask the govern
ment to issue orders to have the dams
raised from the lower point up. In
this manner the water below will be
kept at its normal height while the
pools above are filling. Packet men
say this will enable the passenger
boats to keep in operation almost the
whole summer.
The petition will request that the
dams appropriated for be constructed
alternately from the lower point up
stream. Should the dams be con.
structed in rotation from either end it
would greatly obstruct river travel. In
the event of the construction being
done alternately traffic on both sides
would continue, and operation would
not be greatly hindered.

back OF the little village on the
lake front. Although built in
1880, the fort is still in fine state
Of preservation. Other historical
points include British Landing,
where the troops approached the
garrison from the rear; Early's
Farm and Fort Holmes, hastily
constructed entertainments, which
commanded the United States
fort during the War of 1872.
Interesting and curious places
that have become celebrated as
objects of wonder and beauty
are: Arch Rock, a huge arch Of
rock $50 feet high; Sugar Loaf,
another remarkable formation 90
feet high; Lovers Leap, with its
interesting Indian legend, a pin

then there are Chimney Rock,

Mackinac Island is accessible
from most any direction. Connec-
ton is made with Grand Rapids
and Indiana resort trains at
Mackinaw City by the Island
Transportation Company's steam
ers.
With its pure and bracing air,
it is the most popular summer re-
sort in this region. as is evidenced
by the number OF beautiful cot
tages that are always filed with
those who love the place above all
else. There are many fine, good
hotels here, with the Grand as the
one where the center of interest
all lies. The Grand Hotel to-day
is more attractive than ever. with
its magnificent views, splendid
lawns, spacious and comfortable
balconies, its ballroom and private
boxes, beautiful hall, tennis
courts, concerts and every com
fort that can be thought of for
