NEW MARBLE CAVES
ARE DISCOVERED

G. w. Walton, Of Dryden, has made
a unique discovery, the find being q
marble cave and located on the north
fork of upper Deer creek. 20 miles
south OF Grants Pass and in Jose
phine county.
Mr.. Walton was out to locate ma
terial to so into the manufacture Of
Portland cement. He was acting for
Portland people and Fl. G. Perkins,
Of Grants Pass, and succeeding in
locating 100 acres OF limestone, and
in excavatlng discovered the cave.
With companion Mr.. Walton explors
ed the natural wonder for a distance
OF 100 feet or more. but as he had
only one piece Of candle, and short
piece at that. 1t was impossible to
learn the extent The Interior is
composed of tunnels and cross tun-
nels, made by nature In beautiful
marble, In one big room the height
TO the ceiling was 40 feet, as near as
could be determined, and stalactites,
many and beautiful, adorned the
overhead formation.
There are two natural openings
to the cave, one just large enough
for a dog to enter, the other OF suf-
ficient opening to allow the entrance
OF bear, and the exploring party
found bear bones and bones which
probably were those of elk. Skele-
tons of three bears were found.
Lying on the floor OF the cave were
an ivory spearhead 5 inches long,
and flint arrowhead, keen and
skillfully formed, 1t is believed the
spearhead and arrowhead were taken
into the cave by wounded and dying
hears, which had been pierced by
Indian huntsmen.
Mr., Walton will explore the cave
further at an early day,

BLACKSMITH SHOP SOLD.
Joseph Boyer Now Proprietor Of
L'Anse Business Place.

--~---~~~
A business deal of considerable i'm
portance was closed Tuesday, when
Octave Sicotte sold his blacksmith and
wagon shop, located at the foot of
Broad street, to Joseph Boyer. who
took possession Wednesday morning.
This is the oldest shop in town, hav-
ing been run for many years by Mr..
Sicotte's father; after his death it was
taken over by Octave, who has made
the business grow to the proportion it
has reached; when articles were made
in this institution they had the reputa-
ton of being the best that could be
produced.
The present building was erected
several years ago and is easily the
most complete, modern and up-to-date
shop in the county. Mr.. Boyer has
been employed by Mr.. Sicotte for sew
en- years and besides being a good
blacksmith is an A No. woodworker.
He will endeavor to please his many
patrons in the future as in the past.
Mr.. Sicotte has not definitely decided
what to do at present but has several
new undertakings under consideration
and will continue to make this village
his home.

Marquette Wins
Championship.
Basket Ball Season For L'Anse Closed
Wednesday.

The basket ball season of 1901
ended up in blaze of glory Wednes-
day evening g-for our opponents, Mar
quette. The deciding game for the up
per peninsula championship was played
at Marquette between the X. C. team
and the L'Anse boys. Sad to relate,
We lost by the decisive score of 46
to IL.
Though the score was one-sided, it
does not indicate that the game was
poor. Far be it from US to have you
think so. Although our boys were up
against good deal heavier team and
were playing on territory which was
strange to them, they are credited
with putting up game fight and CIV
ing the public view of the best game
of the season. A smooth floor is bad
enough for the game, but when you
run up against heavier and taller
team, you've got hard nut to crack.
The X. C.'s, we must confess, have
improved wonderfully in their goal
throwing and team work, and we feel
no lasting humiliation in losing to as
fast quint as they are.

Matt Hansen of L'Anse, shipped two
car loads of potatoes from here
Wednesday.
The settlers have decided to erect a
dwelling for Mrs. Sophia Eckloff and
family near the school house. All have
signifed their intention to donate their
services.

Preston as manager; Mr.. Preston will
put in complete line of groceries,

too much of his time he decided to
make the change.

Urged TO Protect
Trees and Birds.
Governor Osborn's Arbor Day Pro
clamation More Than Stereo-
typed Form.

Governor Osborn has issued his Ar
bor day by proclamation, designing
Tuesday, May 2, as the day to be OBJ
served. He pays particular attention
to the Importance of protecting trees
and birds, matter that should be TAX
en- to heart by the boys who wantonly
destroy both. He says:
"The Importance of the proper OBJ
servance of an Arbor day is becoming
more apparent every year. The prob
lem of conservation of our natural re-
sources is one of national proportions,
and faithful remembrance of the day is
furnishing the people of our common
wealth with a clearer understanding OF
the economic value of forest and bird
preservation.
"While the purpose of the day is to
stimulate the pride and interest of the
people, the state should also be con-
cerned in the adoption of far-sighted
policy of conservation and reforesta-
tion thereby creating value, as well as
adding comfort and beauty for the ben
eft of present and future generations.
''For the first time in the history of
Michigan the governor is requested by
senate resolution No. 55, introduced by
Senator l.. Whitney Watkins, to call
attention to the Importance of protect
ing and encouraging song and insect
iverous birds, not only for their
economic, but for their aehthetic value.
This is commendable action. 1t is de-
sirabls to teach an intelligent apprecia-
ton of the pleasures and benefits to be
derived from birds. Almost all birds
do more good than harm. The balance
of value is clearly in favor of even all
the hawks, except two. 1t is much
better to let harmful bird escape
than to run the risk of killing bird of
value. Great care should be exercised
that birds are not killed or molested in
their nesting places. A person who
will put up bird boxes and otherwise
lake Ill mteTtSL Ill OuT ltdtucIcu
friends, will be well repaid. Every
farmer should be bird guardian. To
be interested in any kind of birds is a
sign of gentleness and makes one bet
ter.
Tree planting on private and public
grounds is recommended, and it is re-
quested that all public schools and
places of learning throughout the state
will hold appropriate exercises to call
attention to the Importance of saving
our birds and trees. Especial attention
is called to the forest fire loss. Camp
ers should exercise care in selecting a
place for fire, and should extinguish
it before leaving. Nor should trees
and shrubs be needlessly marred by
barking with an axe or otherwise"

RUSSELL THE RIGHT MAN.
Marquette Prison Warden Commended
by Those Who Know.

The newspapers of Michigan have
been publishing lot lately of Warden
Russell of the Marquette prison. Some
have been making him out human
wretch, man unfit to hold the respon-
sible position he now fills. while others,
as Governor Osborn is doing, believe
that Russell has been justified in doing
what he has done in the matter of
keeping discipline among the unruly
members of his charge.
We have become interested in read
ing the evidence and have taken an OPP
portunity to converse with some who
have been detained as his guests. and
through the evidence of at least three,
find that in each case their opinion has
been to the effect that though Warden
Russell has used some rather drastic
methods in bringing his prisoners to
submission, he has always been more
than right in using the means en-
ployed. Says one man, Behave your
self right at the prison and you will
get all the good treatment you desire.
You will be met halfway. But try to
run things to suit yourself and you'll
get what's coming to you and what you
rightfully deserve" In their whole
time there these parties whose names
are not made known by us, have said
they have not seen an instance where
the treatment received has not been in
accordance with the actions of the
prisoner.
Though there is no fear that Russell
will be removed or impeached, judging
by the publicity of the last few days,
one man who knows says, Lose War
den Russell and you'll lose man who
thoroughly understands the business
and takes care of it to the best inter-
ests of all concerned"

The Dance was Fine.

The large number who attended the
dance given by the members of the u.
s. c. F. Society at L'Anse Opera
House Monday evening were more
than pleased at the enjoyment had up
on this occasion.
The music was fine, as usual. and
the supper was enough to tickle a
grouch's palate. But we feel as if a
special word is needed to make men,
ton of the decorations of the evening.
Leaving all prejudice aside, we are
compelled to say that the hall was dec
Grated as beautifully and tastily as it
has ever been our pleasure to witness
upon an occasion Of this kind.
