A large number of manufacturers, hav-
ing disposed of their entire 1911 output,
could not enter 1912 models for the tour
because of the provision in the stock car
requirements of the 1911 contest rules.

entered be actually completed. The man.
ufacturers not being in position at this
date to comply with this requirement.
many makes of cars were Ineligible for
entry.
Motorists Much Surprised.

torists, especially as unusual arrange
ments had been made for the entertain
ment of the tourists, particularly in Can
ada, where it was planned to have the

The French Canadians were anxious to
entertain the contestants in the annual
classic, and committees have already
been appointed in various Canadian
towns through which the route was laid.
Without the entries of the sold-out
manufacturers there would be only fif-
teen cars In the tour II 1t started June u.

ington June y, was to have gone through
Baltimore, Philadelphia. New York. Con-
necticut. to Boston, and thence through

Obituary..

Mrs Rose Callahan, for go years a
resident of. the vicinity of Flushing,
was found dead in bed Thursday night
about 1890 when her daughter, Miss
Anna, with whom she lived, went to
the old lady's chamber to ascertain if
she was comfortable. Her death, how
ever, was not snock to her relatives,
for her demise was expected at almost
any time. She was 81 years old and the
infirmities of advanced age are given as
the cause of death.
Mrs. Callahan was born in New York
and came west when young woman
Her husband, James Callahan, died a
year ago at the, age of 102 years. She
is survived by three children, Mrs
Mary Sharpstene, of This city, and Miss
Anna and James Callahan, living at
home All the children were at the
home when death came, Mrs. Sharp
stene having gone there last week for
visit. y.
Funeral services were held at ten

The difficulty regarding the site so-
the State armory has all been straight
ened out by the filing of a correc6eE
deed to the property and the State
Military Board has formally ACCEPTED
the site so that Owosso is now la Mse
for an appropriation for the erectior
of the armory, only Kalamazoo beins
ahead of us. Kalamazoo expects Eai
will receive $50, 900, the amount his&sC-
to annually available from the Seate
for the erection of armories. This xriE
compel Company H to wait at asest
another year unless the legis,stuns
should increase its appropritioa over
that of former years. However. tas
acceptance of the site assures the city
of an armory some time-and ws scs
quite accustomed to waiting wahr
patience for public improvements s0st
as the post Office building and neS
depots.

The declaration made by Prosecuting
Attorney Van Zile of Wayne county, at
Lansing last week, on the occasion of
the meeting of the Michigan Associd-
tion of Prosecuting Attorneys that he
believed the saloon will go, forced out
of existence by public sentiment, is an
expression from an intensely practical
man who has almost daily official rela-
tions with many of the great horde of
saloons of Detroit and Wayne county.
II am an optimist," further declared
Prosecuting Attorney Van Zile. II be.
lieve the world Is growing better and
the time will come when the public bar,
where men meet to treat and carouse
will pass away. 1 would like to see
that time" 1t is not at all important
that Prosecuting Attorney Van Zile of
Dstroit would not consent to be classi
fed as an anti.saloon advocate or as q
local option worker. But the important
fact in connection with his views on
saloon subjects Is his belief that the ga.
loon ought not to exist and that the
time will come when it will not be per.
mitted to exist. That he recognizes the
organized.liquor traffic as an enemy to
the public good and that public senti
ment ought to force it out of existence
and ultimately will force it out of ex.
istence. When such views are firmly
held and publicly expressed by the lead.
ing legal officer of Michigan's largest
city and most important county it is
made very evident that anti saloon sem
timent in Michigan is not confined to
preachers or to teachers or to sentimen
talists or to rural counties and small
cities, but has become the firm convic
tion and the great desire of large ma
jority of the people of all sections of the
state.

Railway Commission Will Compel Ac-
tion on Depot Question.

Like the citizens of Owosso the Mich
igan Railroad Commissioners believe
the only way this city will ever have
anything better in the way of depots is
to force action on the part of the roads.
On June nth last the commission or
dered a union station built at the juno.
ten, plans to be filed within thirty days
and the building to be ready for occu.
pancy within elk months. To date
that is as far as the matter has gone,
although correspondence regarding the
the cost of q suitable station. the share
each of the three roads should pay.
whether the Ann Arbor should join in
the building or use the station as ten
ant, has been going back and forth
between the railroads and the commits
sion and might continue to go on in
definitely except for the fact that the
commissioners and the citizens here
believe there is no excuse for further
delay and demand settlement of the
questions and the actual commence
ment Of work as soon as weather condi-
tions will permit.
On Tuesday, E. O. Dewey and War
rem Pierpont of the Improvement Asso
citation committee, accompanied by DIR.
A. M Hume and .. l. Sprague called
on the Commission at Lansing and urg-
ed action with the result that formal
notice was at once sent the representa-
tives of the three roads that at | 80
o'clock next Wednesday afternoon a.
the office of the Commission a hearing
will be held "for the purpose of deter.
mining the proportionate cost of the
construction and maintenance of said
station" If the roads cannot agree the
Commission will formally determine
the matter and issue the necessary or
der 1t would seem that there is now
hope that within few months Owosso
will have suitable station accommoda-
tions. The Improvement Association
will be represented by a committee at
the hearing.
1t is believed the Commission will not
compel the Ann Arbor to join in the
cost of constructing the station but will
permit the road to use the same as a
tenant. This will make it possible for
the ro to maintain its present down
town station which will certainly please
the greater number of the people of
this city, without discommoding any
one. 1t will also doubtless mean a new
station building with sufficient room
to accommodate all the Ann Arbor
Offices now scattered about its yards
and in rented quarters.
