Soft Toned Bell. of China.

The natives of China use largo belfs of their own make in many of their temples and monasteries. I have nos ticed all through Japan and China that the tone of the monastery and temple bells is very soft and smooth, due to the superior quality of the material used in their manufacture and to tho absence of iron clappers, the result be- ing a marvellous softness and mellow ness of tone. The bells are never swung, being always suspended in a fixed frame, and the sound ifs produced by striking them on the outer edge with a wooden maIlet. This makes the soft tones which are 80 delightfully Consular Reports.

EfIsa and Filth.

The fly is born in. lives and thrives upon filth. If no filth is allowed to ac- cumulate in a house or it's neighbor- hood it will not be troubled by nies. for they do not ordinarily stray far from their breeding places and thefr sources of food. In thoroughly clean neighborhood they cannot live in the face of screens preventing their access to food and to the absence of manure heaps and other receptacles for alth in which to deposit their eggs.-Survey.

As the result of a determined effort on the part of both Great Britain and the United States to settle all of their
 outstanding differences a number of treaties have been entered into be-
 tween the two countries in recent years by which nearly all of the unsettled
 questions between them of any impor
 tance have either been adjusted by
 agreement or arrangementsf made for their settlement by arbitrn ton. A
 number of the unsettled questions re
 ferred to consist of pecuniary claims
 presented by each country against the
 other. and in order that as many of t1ese claims as possible should be set tied by arbitration special agreement for that purpose was entered into be-
 tween the two governments on the 18th day of August, 1910. in accordance with article of the general arbitra- ton treaty with Great Britain of April 4, 1908. Pursuant to the provisions of this special agreement a schedule of claims has already been agreed upon. and the special agreement, together with this schedule, received the ap- proval of the senate when submitted to 1t for that purpose at the last ses- sion of congress Negotiations be- tween the two governments for the preparation of an additional schedule of claims are already we'll advanced. and it is my intention to submit such schedule as soon as 1t is agreed upon to the senate for it's approval in order that the arbitration proceedings may be undertaken at an early date. In this connection the attention of con- gross is particularly called to the ne cessity for an appropriation to cover the expense incurred in submitting these claims to arbitration.
 Presentation to Germany of Replica of Won Steuben Statue.
 In pursuance of the act of congress. approved June 23. 1910. the secretary of state and the joint committee on the library entered into a contract with the sculptor Albert Jaegers for the execution of bronze replica of the Statue of General von Steuben, erect ed in Washington. for presentation to his majesty the German emperor and the German nation in recognition of the gift of the statue of Frederick the Great made by the emperor to the people of the United States
 The presentation was made on Sept. 2 last by representatives whom I com missioned as the special mission of this government for the purpose.
 The German emperor has conveyed to me by telegraph. on Hk own behalf and that of the German .1fople, an ex- pression of appreciative thanks for this action of congress.
 Recognition of Portuguese Republic.
 The national constituent assembly, regularly elected by the vote of the Portuguese people. having on June 19 last unanimously proclaimed a repub- Ecan form of government. the official recognition of the government of the United States was given to the new republic in the afternoon of the same day

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS

 The supplementary protocol to The Hague convention for the establish ment of an international prize court. mentioned n-my last annual message embodying stipulations providing for an alternative procedure which would remove the constitutional objection to that part of The Hague convention which provides that there may be an appeal to the proposed court from the decisions of national courts, has re- ceived the signature of the govern ments parties to the original conven- ton and has been ratified by the gov ernment of the United States. together with the prize court convention.
 The deposit Of the Notifications with the government of the Netherlands awaits action by the powers on the declaration, signed at London on Feb. 26. 1909. of the rules of international law to be recognized within the mean ing of article of The Hague conven- ton for the establishment of an inter national prize court.

 Prior to that time and in continua- tion of the policy of this government to secure the cooperation of the in- terested nations the United States proposed an international opium con ference with full powers for the pur- pose of clothing with the force of in- ternational law the resolutions adopt ed by the above mentioned commis- sion. together with their essential cor ollaries- The other powers concerned cordially responded to the proposal of this government. and, I am glad to be able to announce. representatives of all the powers assembled in conference at The Hague on the first of this month. *% It seems to me most es- sential that the congress should take action on the anti-narcotic legislation to which I have already called attention by special message.

ENJOYABLE TRIP THROUGH WESTERN STATES
Tacoma Seattle and British Columbia Visited-Vctora
Close Rival to Vancouver-Canddian Rock
les An Interesting Sight

July 3rd, Mr.. and Mrs Francis
King accompanied by their two
daughters Beta and Fanny and son
Henry left Alma for Tacoma going
over the Northern Pacific route and
returning to Alma late in September
via the Canadian Pacific The fol-
lowing interesting account of the
trip and description of the cities and
country visited was compiled by Mr..
Henry King and will prove of inter
est to our readers. Mr.. King says:
There can be no question but that
the West is filled with fine opportuni-
ties. On a recent trip through the
West this fact was brought home
with unusual force.
"The trip was interesting in many
ways, particularly with reference to
the railroads and scenery The rail-
roads have become very good through
the great competition there is with
one another, and the scenery is ad-
mitted to be practically unequaled in
the world
after leaving St Paul on an op-
pressive day in July the welcome
freshness Of the Western climate was
extremely pleasant and the entire
journey was very comfortable
throughout. The great city of Min
neapolis was the first stop made by
the train, and its immense flour mills
and other factories may be seen on
every side. Minneapolis has a num-
Der of beautiful residences. as well.
On the first day of the trip large
number of small towns are touched
in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Among these, Valley City is the most
worthy of notice. This little hamlet
is in a fertile valley of North Dakota
and fine river runs through the val
ley making it an ideal spot for raising
many kinds of crops. Another city
of great interest is Butte. Montana.
This towns main feature is its great
number of ore smelters as we'll as its
desolate appearance. The lack of
vegetation in the city is caused by
certain fumes which the ore in the
smelters gives forth Butte is situ-
ated in valley in the foothills of the
mountains. From this town the train
begins ascending the mountains and
winding in and out among the tor
tuous irregularities OF the Cascades
The views are wonderful and the
progress of the train is interesting
from an engineers point OF view, that
is, with regard to the construction OF
the roadbed and the bridges.
after very pleasant trip, Tacoma
was reached and an opportunity pre-

JUSTICE HARLAN DEAD.
Venerable Justice Of Supreme Court
Is Taken From Life
CHOICE OF PRESIDENT HAYES
Man Who DlSSented In Standard Oil Case Yields
TO Death-The Nation Sorrows

Associate Justice John Marshall
Harlan, senior member of the SUI
preme court of the United States, rs
years old died at his home in Washing
ton at SIS a. m., Saturday following
brief illness of bronchitis which
developed complications.
He sat on the bench when the Oct
ober term of court opened Monday,
but on Tuesday was confined to his
home with cold which gradually
grew worse.
The aged jurist won extraordinary
fame last spring when in violent
opinions he dissented from the re-
mainder of the highest court in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trust de-
cisions, asserting that his associates
were amending the law by reading
the word reasonable into the Sher-
man antitrust law
Harlan served "a years on the
bench, with one exception the long
est term in the history of the country.
The death of Justice Harlan gives
President Taft the duty OF selecting
his fifth appointee to the supreme
bench, which will make majority on
the bench of men selected by Taft
In addition, he elevated Associate
Justice White to the position of chief
justice, which in reality makes six
appointments by President Taft. The
court is composed of nine members
Justice Harlan was born in Royle
county, Kentucky, June 1, 1888 He
practiced law in Kentucky, and was
Wing candidate for congress in
1859. In 1861 he raised the Tenth
Kentucky Infantry regiment and
served under General Thomas.

sented itself to see this fourishing
city of the Northwest The St. Paul
and Tacoma Lumber Co., the largest
of its kind in the world, was the first
business concern OF importance. This
firm sends immense shipments OF
lumber to foreign ports every day
The progressivenes of Tacoma is
the first thing a casual visitor notices
The buildings are all OF superior CON
struction and the lighting and heat
ing systems are entirely up-to-date in
every way. There is a generous
sprinkling of foreigners (mainly Jap
anese, Chinese and Indians) on the
streets. and the Japanese have almost
all the trade in the Tao oma public
market, which includes the sale OF
vegetables, meat and other necessi-
ties.
I'VE made one very interesting side
trip to Hoquiam, which is the site of
one of the largest lumber camps in
the country This gives one a good
view of the opportunities in the West.
The forests of immense frs seem to
be boundless. but the land after the
logs have been taken out is worthless
for all practical purposes.
There is a very good line of boats
between Tacoma and Seattle so that
it is only a matter OF an hours ride
between the two cities. The Seattle
waterfront presents very busy as
pect on week days, as this city boasts
the greater portion of the Alask kan
trade, country whose resources are
so large that they are considered
even now to be practically unknown.
Large lumber concerns are situated
in Seattle also, and it is needless to
discourse to a true Michigander about
the openings the lumber business af-
fords.
Seattle is built on steep hillside
sloping down to the waterfront and
many of the hills on which streets
were laid out were so steep that they
have had to grade them by hydraulic
pressure to enable teams and other
vehicles to use them The work OF
grading is still going on in many
parts of the city. The lighting of the
entire city is electricity and the lamps
on the streets are good-looking cast
iron posts with cluster of large
white lights at the top. Almost
every street in the city is paved with
asphalt except the hills, which are
paved with cobble stones TO make
the necessary teaming easier Seattle
has the same substantial concrete and
steel framed buildings as Tacoma,

spirited organization such as the
League have by their works proven
themselves to be. The League will
not use the above funds for the
maintenance of the present reading
room but will keep it to use for some
purpose to be devised later. Every
dollar will be used in a manner and
for a purpose that will not only meet
with the approval OF our citizens,
but will be of benefit to the entire
community. The members of the
League desire 10 express their thanks
to the council who gave them the op-
portunity to earn the above money
and to the citizens who by their week
ly contributions made the same pos
sble. This is new record for the
city of Alma in the matter of street
sprinkling, and the ladies feel that
with the experience acquired this
year they can make better showing
next year. The council will be asked
to extend the permit for another
season.

The ALMA SUGAR CO.
Commenced SllCing BeetS Monday,

$50 MEN ON THE PAY ROLL
During the Summer Of 1911 the Company Ex'
pended Over $4,000 for Labor

Last Monday morning the Alma
branch of the Michigan Sugar Co.
commenced slicing beets for the sea
son of 191112. During the summer
months, or to be more definite, since
March Is, the Company has expended
for labor alone in work done at and
around the plant the sum of $4,000
Today their pay roll shows $50 men
in their employ and every one busy.
The changes and repairs made at the
mill have been under the direct su-
pervision of General Manager lothian
Allen and Superintendent J. H.
Mckinney, and as a result the Alma
plant today is one of the best in
Michigan.
The storage room at the. beet sheds
has been increased to 10000 tons ca
pacity, an elevated car track permit
ting dump cars to be used has been
constructed while eight fumes are
now available for the Company's use.
The syrup storage tanks now have a
capacity of $500 tons or 7,OOO,OOO
pouldS ol syrup. y new unit mas
been added to the pulp dryer increas-
ing the capacity of that branch OF
the business by 33 1/3 per cent. A
new slicer has been installed and
numerous other improvements made
which combine to add to the effici-
ency OF the plant. The Company have
a large amount Of cooperage stock
on hand besides $4,000 barrels ready
to be filled and shipped with the
sugar from the beet
Forty head of cattle are to be fat
tened from the factory refuse. The
cattle are kept in the barn and yards
Just south of the plant.
One can form some idea of the
magnitude OF the plant when it i:
known that $50 tons of coal are con
sumed daily; 10000 tons are now ir
the bins and more arriving daily. II
is expected the present run will con
tinue for 100 days and 100000 ton,
of beets will be sliced.

Credited By State Press with Statement Tha
q Is Natural Age to Marry

A Marquette dispatch of October
II, said: Luther l. Wright, of Iron
wood, state superintendent of public
instruction, has come out in favor of
abolishing the long summer vacation
and keeping the schools in session IL
months Of the year
"His announcement created a SEN
sation among the hundreds of teach
ers to whom it was addressed at the
annual convention Of the Upper PEN
insula Educational Association at
Houghton, and it is likely to arouse
discussion among the educators in all
parts of the country.
Taking for granted that bright,
ambitious boys nowadays ought to
complete a college course after leav-
ing the high school, Mr.. Wright de-
clared that the average young man
is "a before he is ready to begin his
life work. Usually he goes to work
at a small salary, and he is 30 before
he is in a position to marry. BY that
time his habits have become fixed
and his matrimonial ship is much
more likely to be wrecked than if
he had married at 21, which Mr..
Wright asserted is the natural age"
to marry"
