BOATS WILL BE ABLE
TO PASS 500 THIS WEEK

! 1t is now believed that navigation
will be opened through the 500 pass
age this week and the first boat will
find everything in readiness at the
locks, says 500 dispatch.
The gates of the Poe lock were
swung yesterday. Chief Engineer
Green says that his department is
ready at any time now and that the
workings Of the lock will not inter-
fere with the opening.
1t may be that the Great Lakes
Dredge q Dock company viii have
some finishing up to do on the south
walls of the canal, but it Is not ex-
pected that this will interfere with the
opening.
Kbby and Shields ran the Leora NJ
down the river as faf as nne-mlle
point yesterday for the purpose Of taxi
ing observations. They encountered
no ice on the run and believe that they
will be able to make the West Neeblsh
by tomorrow.
The lighthouse tender Aspen broke
away from her winter moorings below
the Weitzel lock yesterday and plowed
her way through the ice to open wa
ter. The Aspen will begin the work of
setting the aids To navigation in the
500 river as soon as the conditions
will allow.
The steamer ID. r. Harvey arrived
at Detour yesterday with coal for
Watson's dock, opening navigation to
that port. Today capt. Root will take
one of the Great Lake tugs To the
locks for the purpose of breaking up
the ice fields below the canal and free
ing the tugs Noble and West Neebish
and the government quarter boat and
scows from their winter quarters. The
only hindrance to navigation in the
500 passage appears to be at Mud
lake, where the ice Is reported To- be
from IA to Is inches i'm thickness. Not
withstanding these conditions it is
confidently believed that the river will
be opened during the week.

FOR CATARRH
MEDICINE FREE IN EVERY CASE
WHERE IT FAILS TO RELIEVE.

Neglect or pessimism, We believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically every
case Of consumption might have been
cured If hope had been maintained and
proper treatment had been resorted 20
at the first symptom of the disease.
Until the advanced stage is reached
consumption is durable. Catarrh is re-
sponsible, we believe. for many cases
of consumption. 1t is about catarrh
we want to talk to you today, Incl
dentally consumption, since the two
are so closely allied.

cessful catarrh specialists known. We
believe it is positively without an
equal. We are so satisfied that we are
right, that we will supply the medi-
cine free in every instance where II is

sonable length Of time, should il fail

FARMERS TAKE
FORMAL ACTION
RESIDENTS OF OTTER LAKE DIS
TRlcT WILL PETITION coUN-
TY BOARD FOR NEW
TOWNSHIP.

A meeting OF the farmers Of the OF
ter Lake district of Portage township
was held Monday night at the Flo
school for the purpose of taking action
on the question of securing from Por-
tage township. Samuel Juntila was
chairman and Albert Harry acted as
clerk.
IL was decided 10 ask the Houghton
county board OF supervisors to create
a new township in that section, sep
arating it from Portage township.
The meeting was unanimously in ia
vor of the attempting the partition.
Samuel Juntila. Albert Harry and An
drew Onkala We're appointed as a
committee 10 take the necessary steps
in the matter, but the committee was
rot definitely instructed so it is not
known just how the matter will be
brought up TO the supervisors.
The matter Of roads, is greatly trou-
bling the farmers of the otter Lake
district. The farmers are becoming
desperate and many of them are con-
sidering abandoning their farms and
going back to work for wages If they
do not get roads they will have TO
abandon the work of years and they
feel that the only remedy for their
present condition is to have their own
township.
The farmers want road built from
the otter Lake district to Houghton.
At present they have TO come to
Houghton by way Of Chassell i'm order
to market their products. They con-
tend that Otter Lake cannot develop
prosperous farmers in roadless
country.

Clevefand'S Widow
Denies He Held Grudge

MEREDITH. N. H, Aug. Mrs
Grover Cleveland, who is spending the
Summer here, was shown today a dis
patch saying that her distinguished hus-
band had declared that he would never
again visit Caldwell, n. J., the town OF
his birth. because Of alleged indignities
to his father. who for years was a Pres
byterian clergyman there. The widow
graciously waived the rule of silence
that governs her In order to deny the
report.
Almost everybody is familiar with
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was born
at Caldwell" said Mrs. Cleveland. This
report, however, is the drst ever heard
that he hated the town. He never knew
that his father left his charge at the
Caldwell Presbyterian Church under a
cloud, as alleged. l never heard that
my husband left the town with his legs
dangling from behind the family car
riage, vowing vengeance on the place,
and saying he would never return to it
l guess the facts in the case amount to
very little"
IF there is a movement on foot to
start Cleveland museum fund for the
purchase of my husbands birthplace 1t
is news to me-" Mrs. Cleveland added.
The clipping you have just shown me
is the first thing I have seen on the
subject"

today on the Mauretania for his frs
European trip in twenty-five years.
The announcement almost overcame
the residents Of the Jersey Oranges, who
have known Edison for years as the
man who held all ong-distance records
for work without sleep and very little
to eat
When the news spread around that
Edison and his son Charles were to
sail the neighbors gathered about to
see the preparations.
Edison. was the first man to punch the
time clock at his factory yesterday
morning, and he put IN the full sixteen
hour day that he adopted two years ago
as a concession from the twenty-h hour
day that had been observed for years.
Last night Edison's townspeople ex-
pected he would hold a farewell levee
for handshaking and best wishes and
the like. But the Human Storage Bat

tired an hour earlier than usual be-
