UPPER PENINSULA
BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
KNIGHTS of Kaleva Purchase Donahoe
Block at lshpeming.

The Knights of Kaleva society," COM
posed of leading Finnish residents Of
Ishpeming. has purchased the Donahoe
brown stone block, corner Division
and Pine streets. Ishpemng from DR..
Il. A. Felch. The transfer was made
Tuesday. DR.. Felch has owned the
property for several years past, ever
since T. F. Donahoe retired from the
mercantile business.
While the consideration is not made
known, it is understood that the
Knights of Kaleva purchased the prop
erty at a reasonable figure, as DIR.
Felch has long been desirous Of dis
posing of IT, 1t is the society's plan
to remodel the building. fitting up the
first floor and basement, which are
now occupied by Hodgkin's livery sta
BILE, for store purposes. The second
story will be converted into lodge
room. The floor Of the first story will
be dropped about three feet to the
street grade, and the building will be
put i'm first-class condition throughout
]. r. Hodgkins, who conducts the liv-
cry, was yesterday notified to vacate
as soon as possible.
Mr. Hodgkins uses the first floor FOR
his carriage room and office, and the
stable is in the basement. The first
story has two floors. about two feet
apart. If necessary to bring the floor
to the proper street level both will be
removed and new one put in, but II
is thought that the lower floor is about
the right height.
The building is one of the most SUBJ
stantial in the city. being constructed
entirely of stone, and it is well located
for business purposes. The street cal
line passes the door on Pine street and
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton block is directly opposite. The
block was erected nearly thirty years
ago by Donahoe Bros. and was used
for their mercantile business until the
firm retired. 1t has been used as a liv-
cry stable for a number of years past.
The Ishpeming branch of the knights
, of Kaleva. which was organized over a
year ago, has about seventy-five mem
bers. The society is having a good
growth in the upper peninsula and
branches have been organized during
the past year in several of the larger
cities and towns.

The Republic Iron & Steel company
which operates the Cambria and Lilhe
properties in Negaunee, is preparing TO
begin exploring lands on the Menom-
inee range. The concern has taken an
option on the Sherwood property.

the near future. The fee of the Sher-
wood is owned by NJ. j. Sherwood OF
Marauette: M. ii. tMoriarity of Crystal
Falls and j. f. McGillis of Iron River.
Those who are familiar with the
property believe that the Republic Iron
& Steel company will locate an ore
body before any considerable sum Is
expended in exploratory operations. as
ore was found there some three years
ago. when a few drill holes were put
down to a shallow depth. IL IL said
that ore forty feet i'm depth was en-
countered in two of the holes, which
were sunk on an angle of sixty de-
grees on opposite sides of the Kon-
winski road which runs east and west.
The property is considered one of
the most promising in that part of the
range and mining men i'm the district
believe that the Republic Iron e. Steel
company will In time make 1t a big
producer. Up to this time the Re-
public Iron & Steel company has not
been operating i'm the Iron River dis
tr!ct, and the people there are much

NEW PLAN FOR
HIGHWAY WORK
FORMER STATE COMMlSS SSlONER
n. S. EARLE ADVISES cREA-
TloN OF GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION.

Former State Highway Commits
sioner Horatio $. Earle is spending
two days of each week around the
legislature, educating the members as
to the needs OF adequate good roads
legislation. Two years ago he drafted
a bin which was generously amended
before being passed. and now no less
than nine bills have been drafted to
correct the defects.
Mr.. Earle Is convinced that state
aid is essential to the success of the
good roads movements and he be-
lieves that If plans are properly laid
Michigan will improve at n minimum
rate of 500 miles year. The details
of the plan proposed are included i'm
a bill which substitutes a good roads
commission for the present state
highway commissioner, but does not
legislate the latter out of office.
The bill keeps the present state
highway commissioner in office as
such officer until July /, 1913, but au-
thorizes the governor. as soon as the
law takes effect, to appoint a deputy
| highway commissioner and state
| highway engineer, each To have equal
authority with the chairman-the
state highway commissioner.
Instead of county road Institutes in
the winter time for the benefit of the
township and county highway COM
| missioners, one third Of whom fail OF
re- election il plans a state road in
stitute of three days, which all com
missioners are to attend, and draw
their regular pay for the three days
from their counties or townships and
their railroad fare from the state. Thi:
institute is to begin the third Wed
nesday Of April, which is after th'
commissioners have been elected ant
qualified for the year. This institute
will cost the state little If any NOR
than the plan of holding SO institute
in the SO counties of the state.
The good roads commission is com
manded to make map of each count
and to divide the roads into four dis
tinct classes.
A-State roads, the same being tn
inter county seat connecting roads.
B-County roads, the most impor
tant roads, not inter-county- seat
connecting highways.
C-Town roads, the less import
ant local roads
D-Side roads, the roads of too lii
tie Importance to improve.
state aid is to be paid as follows
on state roads, one-half the cost {
Improvement. but i'm no case to eS
ceed $4,000 a mile on the part Of tn
state. One-third the cost of count
roads. not exceeding $4,000 on tn
part of the state. One-fourth the cos
of town roads. not exceeding $500 o
the part Of the state.
The state and county roads can ID
built of any material approved by tn

MAKING APPLE SAUCE.

When bright red apples are to be
made into sauce, do not peel but mere
ly wash them well, and quarter. Let
them cook till tender, and then press
them through a potato ricer or very
coarse sieve that will exclude only the
skins and cores. Not only is the
beautiful colors of the apples pre-
served by this method of cooking, but
there Is much saving of good apple
pulp, which is more or less wasted
with peeling.

FIRE DRILLS PROVE WORTH.
Practical Tests are Held in Schools al

1t is claimed that the children of the

that the danger of injury in case of
fire in any of the buildings is reduced
to a minimum. This would appear to
DE true by practical exemplifications
in emptying the buildings. one day
