Inc United States Is probably
characterized by more charm
ing climatic diversity than any
other country in the world. In
one season the thousands flock to
the Southland to escape the sever
ity oil the northern winter, whilst
at another season the scene shifts
and pleasant weather reigns SUI
preme in the North. AS a delight
ful summer home North Michigan
doubtless is most richly endowed
by the master hand OF nature.
One can find in this beautiful re-
gion all that can be suggested by
the word summer; cottage and
camp life in woods along the
shores of numerous lakes and
banks OF sylvan streams; life in
hostelries rivaling in luxury and
comfort even the worlds famous
hotels of the east economical and
modest life in boarding houses,
rest and quiet, entertainments and
sport, health and perfect enjoy
nent.
Deep are the draughts of peace
one may take in this glorious re-
gion. In summer time nature
wears freshness and a glory
that never fades.
North Michigan is surrounded
by the great lakes, and the west
erly winds WHICH prevail are tenn
pered and softened by their pas
sage over these waters and filter
ed through resinous forests that
produce an atmosphere unequal
ed in health giving qualities
never too tepid nor yet too chill,
but exhilarate like a tonic, an in
spiration to the mind and an in
vigoration to the body.
Besides the unlimited facilities
for fishing, there are ideal condi-
tons for all water sports-canoe-
ing, motor boating, sailing, bath
ing, and, during the summer
months, sailing and motor boat
ing regattas are held at the sew
eral resorts.
During the summer months
the Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railway offers unexcelled service
to the delightful country of the
north. Special fast limited trains
are established, with new and
modern steel, electrically lighted
sleeping cars, giving through
service from both Louisville,
Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio,
with dining cars attached. which

Petoskey Is Charming Place.
AS a place to rest from weary
labors, to recuperate health, to
exploit with slender rod and reel,
There IS only one Petoskey,"
which, by the way, is the slogan
OF the popular summer city. and

CORN REPORTS
ARE ENCOURAGING
Although Planted Late Crop is
Doing Well
ACREAGE LARGER THAN 1910
Owing to Increased Acreage and the
Normal Conditions Now Prevailing
the Crop Should be a Big One
Estimates Say by Nearly
Two Hundred Million
Bushels Larger.

Charleston.-A compilation has been
made OF corn conditions throughout
he country
There is a wide difference existing
between the figures given out by the
United States department of agricul-
iure and those collected from the va
rious state bureaus. For 1910 this diff.
terence in acreages planted to corn is
about 100000 acres. OF this excess
d acreage reported by the United
states department over that reported
by the states 100000 is given to Ohio,
100000 to Indiana. 100000 to Illi-
nois, and SO on in varying amounts.
The state secretaries insist their fig
ares are correct, and the governments
board does not YIELD. The state reports
are from assessors returns, the gov
ernment's are based on percentage es-
Inmates from scattered correspond
entS.
There is reason to believe the state
reports the more accurate of the two,
but as there is no present prospect of
reconciliation of the difference the
only thing is u state the facts as they
exist.
Looks Like Big Crop.
With this increased acreage, and a
normal yield, this years crop should
exceed that of 1910 by about 100000
300 bushels, and making allowance for
the fact that in many of the states the
June condition, despite the long dry
spell, is far better than at this time
last year, it is reasonable to believe
that this years crop will exceed last
years almost 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
In the Little Mountain State.
The season has been ideal for corn,
so far; planting conditions were new.
or before so favorable. and with the
Increased acreage the state should
harvest almost twice as much corn as
in 1910.

NINE ACCIDENT DUE TO NEGLECT
Other Countries Have Long Ago
Greatly Reduced the Death Rate
BY Proper Supervision.

Charleston.-A careful Investigation
of the mining fatalities gives posi-
tive proof that over 81 per cent OF
them are avoidable and would not oc-
cur If employees and employers would
be more obedient to the requirements
OF the laws, was the declaration made
by State Mine Inspector George Harri-
son. in his address as president of the
Mine Inspectors institute of the Uni
ted States. at the third annual meet
ing OF that body held here.
He said that lack of discipline is,
to great extent, the secret of the
high death rate in the mines. In the
older mining countries greater re-
sponslbility is imposed on the man
agement of mines for the safety of
the workers. Inside foremen are pro-
vided with sufficient help to insure not
less than two visits day to every
miner under his Jurisdiction.

Mine Inspectors Called on Governor.
Governor Glasscock, in good condi-
ton and humor, had IA conference with
the mine inspectors of the state and
number of the visiting members of
the Mining Institute of America which
has been in session here. Matters of
official nature were discussed and the
executive is said to have congratu-
lated the inspectors on their work
during recent months, and the depart
ment of mines on the showing it has
made for efficiency in protecting the
miners employed in West Virginia
The fact is, it has been shown that
nearly all the states that produce coal
are copying the methods employed in
this state with the realization that the
West Virginia methods are the best
to be found anywhere.

BABY BURN 0N
 N P 8X TRAIN

At exactly high noon yesterday, word was flashed over the wire from the Summit of the White Pass to pr. W. Gardner Gable that his pres euce was needed at the bedside of Mrs. Godfrey Butler.
 In a moment stokers were busy get' ting up steam in one of the big W. P Moguls, and within one hour and fifty moments, from being a cold piece of machinery, the engine was a living thing speeding over the heavy. grade taking a single coach carrying the doctor and Miss Mills. Mile after mile was passed and at exactly three o'clock, after a record breaking run, the Summit was reached.
 A hurried consultation between pr. Gable and the nurse resulted in the decision that it would be quite safe to have the stork arrive on the down going train.
 To decide was to act, and with the utmost care the dainty patient was teuderly moved by strong hands in- to the coach. and engineer John Ol- son was given the signal to go ahead" Slowly but steadily the train started. and without a jar. under the masterful guidance of Engineer John, the steep down grade was begun.
 For twenty-five minutes the train had been steadily moving on its re turn when the stork showed signs of impatience and without any more ado just settled down on the coach, and one more passenger was added to the party
 This little passeger proved to be an eight pound boy. and accustomed to work under adverse conditions, Dr. Gable and Miss Mills met the emer- geucy with skill, and with the ever increasing care of Mir. olson at the throttle. the special" arrived at the hospital ten minutes before six o'clock.
 By this act on the part Of the Med ical Crew, assisted by the Mechan- ical Crew of the White Pass and Yu- kon, the little new Butler was born on American soil, almost under the very shadow Of the Union Jack.
 Today all is well with the little mo- ther and son.
 In speaking of his hurry up trip Dr. Gable is loud in his praise of Master Engineer John olson, for, the doctor says, while the train was moving fast. it was under perfect con rol and so well did Mir Olson guide the heavy engine down the steep grade that the vibration and the shock was scarcely felt at all"

.0LD FOSSIL IVORY
From Alaska is a Curio, a Souvenir
 And an Ornament

The interest shown by the tourist in the various souvenirs is greater in regard to the Fossil Ivory than any other specimen Of curios which are offered for sale by the numerous stores in the town of Alaska.
 Aside from its beauty as an orna ment, surrounded as it is with the gold nuggets, natural in shape and color. the interest seems to be en- hanced by the fact that the Ivory is thousands upon thousands of years old.
 There are three kinds of ivory found in Alasl1a-Mammoth, Mastodon and Walrus.
 The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre- historic animals, (aceording to our scientsts) lived a hundred thousand years ago, and today is found in the ground by the natives, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Boring Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, and Occas- ionally by miners in shafts and drifts. The fOssilized coloring is caused by minerals contained in the earth, where it had laid buried for thousands of years.
 H. D. Kirmse has the finest collec- ton of old Fossil Ivory jewelTy in the entire district, and it is well worth ones time to inspect the beau tiful stock now on display in this pop ular iewelry emporium.
