FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition !"
Western Canadian PralrIes'

So much is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie ianu0
of western Canada, and SO much Aao
been told of the wealth to be maue
out of the raising OF catIie on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that
most important product has peen al
most lost sight of, Flax Recent press
reports advise us that on one OF tne
last boats to clear from Fort William
lat the head Of Lake SUPERIOR loi
Buffalo, there were 241, 900 bushels Oh
fax valued at $5S9, ,220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS,000 bushels valued at $IZV'oOo'
There has been big demand tor va
madam flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. flaA

opportunity for thousands yet, on lhe
free homesteads Of 16O acres, anu
many of these are available within

chase from railway and land COM

The display of western Canadas
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an Illustration
Of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields Of wheat, oats

GOVERNOR SAYS STATE WAS SNUBBED
He Criticises Secretary Of Navy in the
Batteship Launching Plans.

Little Rock.-Governor Donaghey
has addressed a scathing letter to
Secretary of the Navy George Won L.
Meyer, in which he denounces the
latter's action in making arrange
ments for the launching of the bat
tleship Arkansas without consulting
the governor. By reason Of this ac-
ton, the governor says, the state has
been unable to make preparations for
taking part in the ceremony has been
placed in an unenviable light before
the whole country, while the pride
of its citizens has been wounded. In
conclusion, the governor states that
the state of Arkansas will take no
further responsibility for the cere-
monies. In his letter, the governor
states that Secretary Meyer had no.
titled him that the hull Of the battle
ship Arkansas would be launched on
January IA. He states that the time
was so short as to make it impossible
for the state to make the necessary
arrangements, and hence he request
ed of Secretary Meyer that the cere
monies be postponed until the ship
was enrolled in the navy. This the
secretary declined to do and pro
ceeded to name a sponsor for the
vessel. Governor Donaghey had also
named sponsor, but she declined
the honor when itsbecame known that
Secretary Meyer had appointed a
sponsor.

Setting the Pace.

"Pacemaker at banquet is what I

city salesman. 81 met man the
other day who holds that title among
the artistic eaters of the town.
"He doesn't make any money by It
directly, but It pays for most of his
meals. He got the Job through his
ability to chew at just the right
tempo.
"He doesn't lag, he doesn't bolt. At
all big dinners where persons Of differ
ent habits are brought together some
one with an even jaw movement who
can set the pace in eating facilitates
the progress of the meal.
This man is not labeled pacemak~r
at those affairs, yet his air OF knowing
the polite tempo in mastication I'm
presses the other diners and they try
to initiate him. Laggards hurry, the
swift delay Walters keep an eye on
him, because they have been told to,
and when he finishes a course they

ART OF WRITING VERY OLD
New Discoveries Garry Back Existence
of Written Documents Centuries
Beyond Phoenlelan Record.

The revelations made at the re-
mains of a great prehistoric palace at
Knossos, in Crete, which is believed
to be the original OF. the tabled LADY
rinth," would seem TO carry back the
existence of written documents on
Greek soil some eight centuries be-
ycnd the earliest known monuments
of Greek writing and five centuries be-
yond the earliest dated Phoenician
record as seen on the Moabite stone.
These discoveries, therefore, place
the whole question of the origin Of
writing on a new basis. 1t is thought
that the Cretan hieroglyphs exactly
correspond with what, In virtue OF
their names, we must suppose to have
been the pictorial originals OF the
Phoenician letters on which the al
phabet is based.
Among these are Aleph. the ox's
head; Beth, the house; Daleth, the
door. and so forth. This contravenes
the old theory of De Rouge that the
Phoenician letters were derived from
early Egyptian forms signifying quite
different objects.

AKSEL HOTTER
WRITES A BOOK
SECRETARY OF NATIONAL SKI
ASSOCIATION ISSUES CON-
PENDlUM OF THE PoPU-
LAR SPORT.

Copies of the sixth annual report OF
the National Ski association, written
,by Aksel Hotter the secretary, who
was a resident of Ishpeming for a
number OF years, have been received
by some of the members OF the upper
peninsula clubs. The book is the
most pretentious publication that Mr..
Hotter has yet issued IL contains
pictures Of the National officers, and
of many other prominent followers OF
the sport, together with many group
pictures, pictures of ski hills, riders
and trophies. Among those whose
pictures appear i'm the book are John
G. Greenway, who was chairman Of
the committee i'm charge of the Ma
tional tournament, held last year at
Coleraine, and Barney Riley, the for
mer Winthrop boy, who holds the am
ateur championship of America. There
are also a number of pictures secured
| in Norway One Of these shows a
class of boys from n school i'm Chris
tiana on a two days outing on skies.
In his reference to Barney Riley and
Thomas Loll!len. captain of the ish-
peming Ski club. Mr.. Hotter says:
Barney Riley still maintains his
place at the top of the amateur class.
He won this distinction at the nation
al tournament held i'm Coleraine, his
distances being greater than the old
professionals and former record hold
ers. He is very steady, and very rare
lily does he meet fall. He is still
small of stature, but he has the form
and the spring for great work He
learned the game on the hills of dsh-
peming, he being a resident of this
place in his early boyhood.
In his regular run he scored
11S feet in his first and 121 in
his second. Barney knows the advan
tage of not trying for too much when
running for prizes. as a fall takes
many points from ones score. He
plays safe and his average is high.

BIG DELINQUENT
LIST IN LAURIUM
TAX PAYERS HAVE BEEN SLOW
I'M PAYING THIS YEAR-ROLL
WILL BE RETURNED
SOON.

From present indications, there will
be returned from the village of Laur-
ium this year the heaviest delinquent
tax list that has been sent to the
county treasurer for number of
years. OF the total of $4,000 only
$4,000 has been paid, leaving the to-
tai delinquent list $4,000. one year ago.
the delinquent list was only $1,000 and
an investigation shows the present de-
linquent list to be the heaviest in
years.
Treasurer Michael Jaerling is pre-
pairing to return the tax roll to the
county treasurer soon and after that
time. an extra collection fee will be
charged on all funds collected.
The law provides that the village
treasurer must return his tax roll
within ten days of the expiration of
the tax warrant, on the third Monday
of October. If this law was rigidly en-
forced it would be necessary To make
returns not later than November /,
but owing to the fact that such a
large number of the tax payers had not
settled their accounts, il was arranged
to keep the roll in the village until a
later date Treasurer Jearling Is now
making an effort to retain the tax roll
until after next Saturday, pay day, and
this will be absolutely the last OPP
portunity for those who have not paid
their taxes TO do so before the roll is
turned over.
