After Railroads and Mines.

Upper Peninsula railroads and
mines seem to be up against it in
the present legislature as never be-
fore. Most of the old guard who saw
to 1t that nothing detrimental to either
of these interests got by have been
pushed off the block. In this session
the new members of both houses
coming from the u. p. were elected
on platforms of opposition to the
mines. AS result bills have already
been introduced in both branches pro-
viding for the reduction from to 2
cents a mile of passenger fares on all
railroads earning more than $1,000
a mile which means nearly all in the
u. p. Then there has been intro
duced bills providing for the election
by the people of mine inspectors and
for the taxation of mineral reserve
lands. In the end the general taxa
ton of the mines is also to be over
hauled so the u. p interests seem to
be up against 1t. The leaders in the
rumpus are Senator Frank James Of
Hancock, Reps. Anthony Lucas Of
Houghton, Symonds of Menominee,
and Holland Of Gogebic.

SAYS OSBORNS
RATE IS TOO HIGH
o. w. ROBINSON DECLARES ROADS

RATE FEASIBLE.
REFERS TO UPPER PENINSULA
WHICH GOVERNOR WOULD
HAVE 2 1-2 CENTS A MILE.
Claims Sworn Statements, of v. p
Railroad Officials Prove 2-cent
Fare Feasible.

o. w. Robinson, former lieutenant
governor of Michigan, is a staunch
advocate of two-cent passenger fares
for the people of the upper peninsula.
In this connection he takes issue with
Gov Osborn.
1T may be the governor is eceived
or misinformed as to the cost of oper-
ating railroads in the upper PENN
sula," he says. IF so a careful study
of the railroad commissioners reports
(including his own as railroad COM
missioner) for the past 16 years will
show that the average percentage Of
expenses to earnings of the upper
peninsula roads is less than the aver
age of lower peninsula roads. | have
repeatedly given the figures showing
this fact to the public during the past
10 years and as yet have never seen
a denial from the railroad commits
sioner or any railroad official, and
they cannot deny them for the simple
fact that they are the sworn state
ments of the officials of the roads re-
ported annually to the commissioner.
The report of 1909, just issued, shows
the same results. With these facts
available to the governor and every
member of the legislature, can there
be any good reason why the citizens
of the upper peninsula should longer
be Disseminated against under our
state railroad law?
Under the present law the discrim-
ination against the upper peninsula
citizens on local passenger traffic is
90 per cent, on trip tickets, and % on
thousand-mile books. The only reason
ever offered was that it costs more
to operate roads in the upper PENN
sula by reason of sparse population
and the deep snow, which upon it's
face seems plausible, but is absolutely
denied by the sworn statements of
the officials of the roads operating in
the upper peninsula. Is it not time
to set aside these statements thrown
broadcast by paid lobbyists of the rail-
road companies and investigate the
facts by careful perusal of the rail.
road commissioners reports?
This is the only investigation need
ed to cover the question involved. viz:
Does it cost more to operate railroads
north of the straits of Mackinac than
Il does south of them? The percen-
tage of expenses to earnings on the
different roads shows the facts beyond
a doubt. The items of sparse popula-
tion,' long hauls' and snow shovel
ing are all included in the total oper-
ating expenses, and no one knows this
better than the railroad officials"

SKIN TORTURED BABIES
SLEEP AND MOTHERS REST
Browning,

A warm bath with Cuticura Soap,
followed by gentle amounting with
Cuticura ointment, is generally suffi-
cient to afford immediate comfort in
the most distressing forms Of itching,
burning and scaly eczemas, rashes. ir-
ritations and infiammations Of In
fants and children, permit sleep for
child and rest for parent, and point to
permanent relief, when other methods
fail. Peace falls upon distracted
households when these pure, sweet
and gentle emollients enter. No. other
treatment costs so little and does so
much for skin sufferers, from infancy
to age. Send to Potter Drug & Chem
Corp, Boston, for free 32-page book on
the care and treatment of skin and
scalp troubles.

Rear.Admiral Barry Quits.

Rear-Admiral Chauncey NJ. Thomas.
commander of the second squadron OF
the Pacific fleet, arrived after rush
orders at Santa Barbara. to go to san
Francisco with his flagship, the Cali
fornia, to succeed Rear-Admiral Ed
ward NJ. Barry, pending action in Adj
miral Barry's request for retirement.
The cause of Admiral Barry's sud
den desire to leave the service after
having held the post of fleet comman-
der for only few months, is the sub
ject of much gossip and speculation
in naval and club circles. Stories re-
fecting seriously on the character OF
the retiring admiral are being circu-
lated, and naval officers in port have
taken cognizance of them. There is
an intimation in these stories that the
admiral has been forced to retire.

u. P. HAS IDEAL SOIL.
None Better for Fruit Growing, Says
u. S. Geogolist Leverett.


United States Geologist Frank Lev
erett is in Lansing comforting with
State Geologist Allen in regard to the
publication Of the surface and geo.
logical map of the upper peninsula
OF Michigan, which he has been pre-
pairing for the last three years. The
map will show not only the geological
formation of the territory, but by a
system of color variation the kind
of soil to be found in each township
of the upper peninsula and its adapt
ability to the various branches OF
agriculture and horticulture.
According to the government geo
logist fully 70 per cent of the upper
peninsula area is adapted to some
branch of agricultural pursuits, much
of the land being superior TO that
now available in the lower peninsula.
Along the coast line Of Lake Super
Tor there is a strip, which is now alb
solutely uninhabited, that is simply
ideal from the standpoint of horticul-
ture. The seasons are long and re-
markably free from frosts during the
growing season, owing to the infiu-
ence of the lake breezes, and this
matter will be fully set out in de-
tail in the publication, which the
state survey will issue as soon as the
maps are engraved.

Pension BUILDING Fire.

Thousands Of records and docu-
ments in pension cases We're destroy
ed in a fire which originated in the
Office of the United States pension
agency in the pension building in
Washington.
The damage was mostly done by
smoke and water.
A number of old records bound in
book form and runTing as far back
as the Revolutionary war were de-
stroyed. Duplicates C tacse records,
however, are on file in the pension
Office The late records from 1906
onward were not destroyed. They
are in steel filing cases.
The loss is about $4,000.

10 Rebels "HoId the Fort"
