COUNTY SEAT FIGHT STARTED
lakota and Neville Rivals In North
Dakota Contest.

The fight for the removal of the
county seat Of Nelson county from
Lakota TO Neville has been launched
by Neville, The fact that the ques-
ton Of the construction of a new
courthouse for the county is being dis
cussed has been made the basis for
the removal talk at this time.
The fact that Neville is located
more nearly to the center of the coun.
ty than is Lakota is one OF the prin-
cipal arguments that will be raised in
favor OF that place. The citizens Of
Neville also propose to raise a fund
Of about $4,000, or one-third Of the
cost of new courthouse, to be given
tho county for that work in the event
the city is given the county seat To-
cation.
Lakota has been the county seat
ever since the county was organized.

Business Rivals in jail.

Business envy existing between two
White Earth pool hall owners, H. E.
Anderson and James Moore, has re-
suited in both being lodged in the
county jail. Anderson was originally
arrested upon complaint made by
Moore that he was maintaining a
gambling place and, in turn Moore
was arrested on a similar charge
with an additional charge of cruelty
to animals. Testimony introduced at
the preliminary hearing brought out
the fact that the two men had been
bitter business competitors.

Visit Your Schools.

How many of our school children's
parents ever visit the schools or even
know the teachers when they meet
them on the street? How many know
what their children are studying, or
how they are progressing ? Are there
any of you who have building to
make or a fence to build; dress to
make; house to paint, or whatever
the job may be. that say to the one
you have employed: Here are the
tools and material, go ahead and do it
to suit yourself, and it will suit mel"
Is not that what many of you are do
ing with your children? You say by
your actions: "Here is my child, with
its books paper and pencil. I've fur
nished material and tools, educate him
as you like" Now we hear some of
you say: ''The teacher knows better
what they ought to study than do"
While that may be is part true, the
carpenter or dress-maker, or paint
er, knows better how to do the work
than you do, yet you do not leave it all
to them. On the rising generation
depends the welfare of this great ma
tion. Patrons and parents, take more
interest in our schools and visit them
often, and by your presence give the
teachers more encouragement; ask
them how your children are doing.
Perhaps few minutes talk with them
will save trouble that years to come
can never undo. Think about this and
ask yourself if you are doing right.

WEAR A cARNATION.
January 20 Officially Stamped a
william Mckinley Day.

Wear carnation on Mckinley day,
is the last order of the Carnation
League. Mckinley day is January 20.
A circular has been issued requesting
the people to follow out this custom,
reading as follows:
1.-The life character and services of
William Mckinley will never pass from
the memory of the people. In his
death the nation suffered the loss of a
man beloved by all. The people can
not have too many days to show their
appreciation of such men as this mar
tyred president. The thoughtful OBJ
servance of each anniversary tends to
keep the patriotism of the people to its
highest pitch and we may be'sure that
were the soul of William Mckinley to
look down it would infuse some of his
love for the nation in the hearts of his
fellow beings"

The Northern Forest Protective as
sociation was organized in Marquette
several months ago and comprises
among its members most of the large
timber owners in this part of the PEN
insula, among them being the Cleve-
land Cliffs Iron company and the Aver
& Longyear interests. All owners of
timber land, whether of forty or 10000
or more acres, are invited to join the
association, and all the lands enrolled
will receive as nearly equal protection
and benefit from membership as their
location will permit, it being obvious
that small tract isolated from any
other lands in the association cannot be
regularly patrolled until other adjoin-
ing timber lands are brought in, max
ing the total acreage large enough to
warrant the necessary expenses of a
patrol.

"Sette' $4,000
Acres in The !. ?.
That is the Plan OF Western Men Who
Have Bought the Tract.

F. j. Merriam, secretary and general
manager of the Upper Peninsula Land
Co., and Bishop H. Schriber, lawyer
of st. Paul were at the state house at
Lansing last week looking up the title
of some of the $4,000 acres in the
counties of Chippewa, Mackinac,
Schoolcraft, Luce and Alger, which
were purchased few weeks ago from
the Peninsular company by new COM
pany, for colonization purposes. In
cidentally. it is said, the purchasing
company may seek state aid to drain
about 200, 900 of the 712,OO0 acres in
the Seney and Taquamenod districts.
Mr.. Merriam went to Lansing for the
selling company, while Mr.. Schriber is
looking after things for H. H. Ham
ilton, of st. Paul, the chief figure in
the colonizing company.
The plans, as they outline them, are
perhaps the most pretentious that have
been undertaken by single company
to bring settlers from other states into
Michigan. H. H. Hamilton is repre-
sented to be a colonizer on scale more
extensive than any other man in the
northwest. His last big enterprise in
that line was the colonizing of some
400, 600 acres of Northern Pacific rail-
road land, and so well did he pick the
settlers, it is claimed, that but about
one per cent have failed to make good.
The 712,OO0 acres are part of the
original land grant to the Detroit,
Marquette & Mackinaw Railroad Co.
The late Senator Mcmillan, of De-
troit became one of the controlling
owners of these lands. In 1902 Sem
ator Mcmillan asked Mr.. Merriam to
try to find purchasers for large tracts.
The latter succeeded in selling in one
deal to w. G. Mather, of Cleveland,
for the Clevelend Cliffs Co., 1000, 900
acres.
The Hamilton colonizing company,
it is further explained, fully realizes
that it is an altogether different prop
ositioh to locate settlers of these up
per peninsula partially or wholly cut-
over lands than on the western and
northwestern prairie lands. The
prairie lands can be cropped from the
start. In the northern Michigan pen
insula the land must first be cleared.
For this reason 1t is calculated that
settlers will progress more rapidly on
small farms, from say 40 acres up to
100 or little more, than on large
farms.

PREVENTION OF FIRES.
Government Sending Out Precaution-
ary Advise to Railroads.

The railroads of the upper peninsula
are receiving notices from state and
United States government officials, ask
lug them to do everything in their pow
er toward the prevention of forest fires.
A year ago the notices received quoted
the state statutes, while those just re-
ceived quote the national law, acts
of congress, and give suggestions of
how to prevent disastrous fires.
The notices, sent by Frank Pierce.
acting secretary of the interior, says
"The act of congress of June 25, 1910,
forbids leaving any fires burning. If
you do not put out your fire before
leaving it you are liable under this law
to be punished by fine of $1,000 or inn
prisonment for one year or both and
the law applies to any fires built in or
near any forest, timber or other infiam-
mable material on the public lands, In
dian reservations, lands occupied by
any tribe of Indians under authority of
the United States or any Indian allot-
ment to which the fee simple title has
not passed from the United States.
Persons who build fires to clear land in
the vicinity of public or Indian lands,
and who do not put them out before
leaving the same are liable to the pun
ishment provided by the law above
mentioned.
"The best way to prevent large fires
is to be careful with small ones. Sug-
gestions follow:
''Do not build larger camp fires than
are necessary.
"Do not build fires in leaves, rotten
wood or other places where they are
likely to spread.
''Dig holes or clear the ground for
your campfires in dangerous places and
during windy weather.
"Put out all fires completely before
you leave them, even for short time.
"Do not build fires against large or
hollow logs.
IF fires are found, put them out if
possible, or Immediately notify the
nearest government officer"

State Geologist Leaverett states that
the upper peninsula is suited for the
profitable growing of apples. This has
been 50 thoroughly demonstrated in
the past few years, that we are pleased
to learn that the state geologist en-
dorses the idea. 1t is hoped that the
time will come when the upper penin-
sula will raise apples in sufficient guam
titles to supply the demand. At the
present time apples are bringing
orange prices here. Another thing
that the apple raisers of the peninsula
have been remiss in is the fact that
they have planted many varieties that
are not good keepers or that have little
standing in the outside markets. The
upper peninsula has been imposed upon
by the nursery men. Ten years ago it
was thought that only certain varieties
would withstand the severe" winters,
and as result, more than one farmer
is loaded up with so called hardy varie-
ties that are good second to the
punky Ben Davis kind. 1t has been
demonstrated that Russetts, Baldwins,
Northern Spy and Greetings will ma
ture in this climate, and it is hoped
that the standard varieties will replace
the kind that have, in many instances,
been foisted upon our farmers. Man

Lovers of basket ball in this section
are promised the fastest game of the
season at the opera house this evening,
when the Knights of Columbus, last
years champions of the Iron Country,
and winners of all games to date this
year, play the L'Anse City team.
Marquette is one of the fastest and
most formidable teams in this section
Of the state and have been playing to-
gether for two years at least. They
come with the intention of winning, as
they are rather proud of their record.
OF course. the city boys are out for
high honors this year and will endeavor
to disappoint the visitors. Dancing

L'ANsE DEFEATS CHAssELL.
The L'Anse high school team opened
the basket ball season in L'Anse last
Friday evening by defeating the Chas-
sell Athletic Club representatives by
decisive scores. The girls won by the
score of rs to 8, while the boys tucked
away their opponents to the tune of
SO to s.
The high school boys are all first year
players and played creditable game
for new players. The boys are all
young and we can, next year anyway,
state that they will make the copper
country sit up and tske notice, just as
our old team did for few years.
Looks to US as if they sort of frighten-
ed the high schools in the copper country
this year, that is, to judge by the way
they were barred out of the schedule.
The high schools may talk of the ex-
pense of making the trip here, but it
fails to hold water. When L'Anse can
pay full expenses for visiting teams,
it looks as if our copper country oppon-
ents can at least pay half expenses
for L'Anse trips.
BASE BALL Tram DEFEATS BARAGA.
The L'Anse indoor baseball team
played it's initial game Tuesday even
ing, defeating the Baraga boys by a
score of 20 to 6. Those who attended
the game express themselves as well
amused with the evenings entertain
ment, and we expect to see some fast
games as soon as the teams get firmly
organized and get down to hard prac-
tice. 1t has been suggested to US that
the umpire get little practice, also.
