HEATING.
Besides High Grade Shipments, Low
Grade Is Accumulating.

Heating has issued a report to its
stockholders, from which the follow
ing is extracted:
"In our letter Of November advis-
ing you that the improvements were
completed and we were prepared ia
commence the output of ore on a COM
mercial scale, we told you that we be-
lieved after November the mine could
earn fully $4,000 per month, assuming
the ore values remained as high as
our average values for October. For
December just closed the net earnings
above all expenditures will exceed $685.
900 and the value of ore is being dem
onstrated to be very high, as follows:
October-3S cars-gold per ton ..$1774
November-31 cars-gold per ton 21.2O
December-53 cars-gold per ton. 24.1O
1--WE do not care to make an active
speculative market for this stock, but
we want our old stockholders to keep
in mind the large possibilities of this
property: The large acreage owned
by the company. its now complete
equipment loT eCoHohliSdi eAuaStiVh
the fact that we are only working on
one vein when we have surface show
ing equally as good on two other veins
within reach of short crosscuts; and
above all that its values lie in an iron
sulphide with gold contents, and is not
dependable on the state of the metal
market at any time.
1--WE want also to call your attention
to the very large tonnage of low grade
concentrating ore that we are leaving
in the mine and on the dumps which
will, when the proper time comes
prove a very considerable source of
earnings. All the developments of the
past two months in our drifts may be
summed up as exceedingly pleasing.

SENDS JUDGE FRESH PLUG.
Carolinan Wanted Harlan to Chew Out
An Opinion on Tobacco.

Washington, Jan. 26.-John Marshall
Harlan, justice of the supreme court
of the United States, is to have good
chew of tobacco. At least a two-pound
plug OF a famous brand of North Caro-
lima product is on the way to him, and
the donor, the president of a tobacco
company at Winston Salem, is building
hopes upon a favorable opinion from
the bench of the highest tribunal.
Justice Harlan chews plug. During
the argument of the American Tobacco
case he interrupted an attorney for the
trust to inquire in a tone in which a
suggestion of plaintiveness might have
been discerned:
why is it / can not get good chew
ing tobacco nowadays?'
Justice Harlan knows what good
chewing tobacco is. He is from Ken
lucky. Chief Justice White is another
member of the supreme bench who
chews
Formerly, when Justice Harlan sat
on one side of the late Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice White on the other,
ii was necessary for them to summon
page If one wanted to borrow a chew
from the other. In the shifting about
of seats due to changes I'm the person
mel of the court these two cronies were
seated side by side. For the last two
years, therefore, IL has been necessary
only to give nudge when one wanted
TO borrow a chew from the other.
Justice Harlan some time ago took
occasion to deny the story he had sum-
moned a page and dispatched him to
Justice White to borrow a chew of to-
bacco Justice Harlan in his emphatic
denial of the story, exclaimed: ut was
White who borrowed of mein

Rep. Lord May Introduce Bill for
Popular Selection Of Repre-
sentatives to National
Conventions
SENTIMENT WOULD Be SHOWN
Under Such System People Would
Have Opportunity to Express Their
Preferences Of Candidates
for President.

Lansing. Mich. Jan. 26.-The organ
ization OF a league at Washington to
boost for primary extension and other
peoples measures" with Gov. Osborn
named as an official, has set the prog
ressive" bee buzzing in the Legislature,
with the result that IL is certain move
will be made for presidential primary
to elect delegates from Michigan to the
national convention I'm 1912. Rep.
George Lord declared today that un-
less some other member steps forward
to father the measure, he will intro
duce it.
Gov. Osborn has already expressed
himself as favorable To the scheme
that would permit the republican
voters of Michigan to declare direct
ly for themselves, whether they are
satisfied with President Taft for their
candidate or whether some other man
would suit them better. He is not so
much interested In the presidency,
he declares, as he is in giving the
people the fullest possible direct ex-
. PANHSiCh VI Nhtii NiiOiNt dS W NIt Olll-
cials to be elected.
Il haven't decided fully in my mind,
whether it would be best to vote di-
rectly for delegates to the National
convention, or whether it would be
better to simply have an advisory vote,
as in the case of candidates for United
States SENATOR" said Rep. Lord.
Under the latter plan, the names
of the candidates for president would
be printed on tho ballot and the dele
gates to the convention would be NOR
ally bound, as the legislature was on
the senatorship, to follow the popular
dictation. / think the plan to elect
the delegates directly is the best, how
ever.
my main reason for advocating
the primary system should be extended
to the fullest possible limit Then, If it
fails, abolish it altogether. II has
proven successful so far as IL has been
worked out in Michigan, and l see no
reason why 1t will not prove successful
all the way. / am in favor also of
the primary being extended beyond the
governor and lieutenant governor to all
state officials. l, myself. expect to be a
candidate for secretary of state, two
years from now, and I am perfectly
willing to submit my cause to the peo-
pie"
The idea of presidential primary
started in oregon. Iowa is one other
state that 1t is already practically
pledged to the movement and Wiscon-
sin and other states where progress
sive republicanism has secured firm
footing are apt to get in line, it is be-
lieved. 1t is stated that Gov. Osborn
and his friends have no idea of al
lowing Michigan to take a back seat
in the matter of progression"

GIVES UP oFF-sIDE RULE.
English Pony-Polo Players Preparing
for American Games.

London, Jan. 26.-An important
statement has been issued from head
quarters at Hurlingham. 1t is that. in
view of the prospective international
match against America the offside rule
be suspended for one year in all tourn-
aments and matches played at Hurl-
ingham. other clubs are also invited
to try a similar experiment for the
1911 season. The Recent Form List"
was abolished and its place taken by
the "Hurlingham Polo Handicap List"
This step being one OF great interest
may be traced directly to the visit OF
the Meadowbrook team in 1909. when
those in authority were deeply inn
pressed by the effect on the game caus-
ed by the suspension OF the above rule.
The resolution of the Hurlingham Club
will certainly increase the interest in
the coming seasons polo from the point
OF view of both spectator and player.

Believed That Meeting to be Held
at Menominee Will Culmin-

tion Movement
MANY ACRES ARE AVAILABLE
Large Tracts That are Tillable and
Now Vacant Will Be Offered to
Settlers-PubIicity Cam
paign Proposed.

Sault STE. Marie. Mich, Jan. 26.-In
an Interview with railroad officials and
other gentlemen interested in the or
ganization of the Upper Peninsula
Publicity bureau, who were in the city
this week, il is learned that the plan
is based on even broader lines than
was first anticipated and which, IL
carried out will bring about a speedy
realization OF the hopes OF the resi-
il relates to the settlement of the
thousands of acres Of the now vacant
tiliable lands of this region.
The railroads and large land owners
are already interested in the extent
that an advertising campaign of very
large proportions is assured for the
Upper Peninsula country as a whole
If the residents themselves show the
proper spirit and perfect the proposed
new organization, at the coming meet
ing TO be held at Menominee. The
welcome and cooperation in which the
plan is being received wherever IL has
become exploited augurs well for it's
final and permanent success and JUS
titles the belief that a colonization
movement Of large proportions is at
last about TO take place in this penin-
sula.
While the promoters and those most
interested i'm the movement would
make no definite statement regarding
IL, they strongly hinted that in ad-
dition to all the possibilities of this
country being exploited on a large
scale. it may not DE impossible to en-
large on the permanent advertising
plans and eventually include a scheme
of permanent displays of northern
Michigan products in large cities, and
possibly a display car TO tour the
country after the manner of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
campaigns, so successfully used in
colonizing their territories in the west
and northwest.
one feature of the present effort to
organize all of the interests of the
Upper Peninsula into one effective ex-
plotting machine should not be over
looked by such Of the residents of this
section of the state as can make 1t
convenient to attend the Menominee
meeting and that is that the invita-
tion is open to any and all individuals
who are interested and that the pro-
ject of the formation Of the bureau is
entirely i'm their own hands. The
date Of the meeting has not been an
nounced but will be given due pub
licity and in plenty of time to allow
all who desire to make their arrange
ments to attend.
The interest displayed in the 500
aud in Chippewa county relative to
the movement was particularly pleas
ing TO the officials, and they had hopes
that the same interest would be dis
played i'm all Of the other upper penin-
sula counties. They highly commend
ed the action Of the board of super
visors in arranging tosend a delegation
to the meeting as well as the help af-
forded them here by the Business
Mems Association and bv individuals
generally.

emption Law Repealed.
Ann Arbor Mich, Jan. 26.-When
asked as to tho reasons for asking the
regents to petition the legislature to
repeal the law admitting graduates
from the University of Michigan law
school to practice i'm the state, with
out first taking the state bar examin-
alton. Dean Bates of the law depart
mont said this morning:
This is an action the faculty took
after due consideration. There has
been criticism for some time by MEM
bers of the bar because of the fact
that while students from all other
professional departments on the camp
us had to submit 10 an examination
by the state board OF the different pro-
fessions, the law school was not sub
ject TO this final test. Now, as a mat
ter Of fact. the state bar examina-
tions will not be as hard as are some
of our examinations, and no student
graduating from the university ought
10 fail i'm them. The members of the
bar throughout the state believe that
such an examination will raise the
standard of requirements for admis-
sion to the bar. and the law faculty
are glad TO cooperate with them in
attempting to get this measure
through the legislature"

New Apportionment Of the Nation
al House Will Not Go into
Effect Until Spring
Of 1913
ELECTORAL COLLEGE LARGER
Passage Of crumpacker Bill Also viii
Make National Conventions of
Both Big Parties More
Bulky Than Now.

washington, Jan. 26.-Thc size of
neither the political national conven-
tons of next year nor the electorate
college will he changed 10y the Crum-
packer bill making reapportionment
of the house of representatives, even
though that bill shall pass at this ses-
sion. The new apportionment will not
take effect until March 3, 1913. If the
membership of the house fixed by the
Crumpacker bill--433-is accepted by
congress, the national conventions of
1916 and the electorate college of that
year and succeeding years, will be
considerably Increased. The elector-
al college which elected the president
and vice president two years ago was
composed of four hundred and eighty
three votes. This is based on the ag-
grogatc representation Of the states
in both branches of congress. Two
hundred and ty-two was a major
ity in the electoral college at that time.
With the membership of the house
increased as proposed by the Crum-
packer bill the size of the electoral
college will be increased to 531.
When Arizona and New Mexico
come into statehood there will be for
ty-eight states entitled to ninety-six
senator's To which, for electoral pur-
poses, there must be added the house
membership which will then be 435.
The man who is elected president Will
then have to receive 266 electoral
votes or "a more than were necessary
to elect Mr. Taft. The national con-
ventions will show the effect of the
increased representation more than
the electoral college. AS a general rule
these conventions are twice the size
of the electoral collge and have in ad-
dition delegates from the territories
governed by the United States.
If the Crumpacker plan Is adopted,
and the Democrats follow the rule
they have heretofore followed in APP
portioning delegates, their convention
viii be made up of 1862 delegates from
the states and twenty-four delegates
from the territories, making n total of
1856 delegates. The democrats have
adhered to the rule that a two-thirds
vote is necessary to nominate, and If
they stick to this rule ii will take 1875
votes to name a candidate for presi-
dent.
Republican national conventions, un-
der the new apportionment, and un-
der the rules that have heretofore been
followed by that party, will be COM
posed of 1912 delegates and 537 votes
will be necessary to nominate. With
the wheels of legislation so badly clog
ged II is by no means certain that
representative Crumpacker will get
his apportionment bill through. but
the prospect seems to he that IL will
pass IL the chairman of IN commit
tee on census can get II to vote The
senate seems disposed to acquiesce in
any action the house may take in fix
ing its membership.
