better each day He is very enthusiastic
over the outlook and from samples be has
been bringing to town he has every rea-

with him on his last trip were sent to
the assayer and his analysis shows values
running to nearly $500. This is re-
markable ore and from present indica-

values running still higher.
The mine runs silver but during the

been running into gold and Mr. Evens

was shown in the project.
A resolution was also passed ex-
pressing the approval of the society
for the work which has been accom-
plished in Lansing for the woman's
suffrage movement by the state Wo-
mans Suffrage Association, led 10y
Mrs. Huntley Russell.
The association will endeavor
throughout the coming year to coop
crate with the Womans Christian
Temperance Union as far as possible.
The report of the organization for
the past year was accepted, showing
that the local society was represented
at the convention of the State Wo-
mans Suffrage association at Grand
Rapids also at the national conven-
ton at Washington, ID. c., where the To-
cal representative presented a petition
for Woman's Suffrage bearing 10000
signatures. Miss Maggie ]. Walz also
represented the society at gatherings
at various Suffrage conventions in
England. Glascoe. Scotland, Sweden.
Norway and Finland, where she stud
led the methods adopted.
The Calumet Finnish Ladies' Socie-
ty was organized in 1894 and during
the first year gained a membership of
200, the society being the first Finn
ish Woman's organization in the state
and possibly in the United States. At
the last meeting it was decided that
the annual dues would be reduced
from one dollar to ten cents. Meetings
will be held on the last Thursday Of
every month. The meetings of the
society are OF an educational nature
and are greatly enjoyed by the MEM
bers.
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. Waldemere Weinberg on

The meeting will be a memorial meet
ing. devoted To the memory of de-

Upper Peninsula :
-NOTES AND BRIEFS
MARQUETTE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Appropriation Bill Provides For Erec-
ton of New Building.


Senator Moriarty has introduced in
the senate a bill carrying the desired
appropriations for the Northern State
Normal school i'm Marquette. His bill
provides for $7O,47O for the current ex-
penses for the year ending June 80.
1912. 1t also provides for an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the construc-
ton Of a main building and $500 for
curbing and macadamizing the street
abutting the grounds. For the year
$4,000 for equipping the main build
ing, $4,000 for the construction of a
manual training and Industrial build
ing and $4,000 for the furnishing Of
this building. Representative Ewing
will introduce the same bill in the
house.
This bill embodies the request made
to the legislature a few weeks ago by
President Kaye. Next to the $70,470
asked for current expenses, which will
unquestionably be granted, though per
haps not in that exact amount, the
friends and officers of the Normal
school are most interested in secur-
ing the $4,000 with which to build
a main building, located between and
being joined to the tow wings now
used. An appropriation for this build
ing has been requested several times,
but this year the Normal officers are
more than usually hopeful that it will
be granted.
Plans for the proposed building have
been drawn up for some time and the
committee on Normal schools is thor
steadily increasing enrolment each
year. the school is becoming more
crowded with every succeeding term
and additional room is fast becom-
ing an imminent necessity. AS it will
take at least two years to complete the
building after the appropriation is
granted. it is considered highly i'm
portant that the necessary funds be
provided at this session of the legis-
lature.
The appropriation of $4,000 request
ed for the purpose of erecting and
equipping manual training building
is identical with that asked for by
every normal school in the state. While
such a building would be a big thing
for the Marquette Normal its need is
not so great or so urgent as that of a
main building. The state board of
education has put itself on record as
in favor of an Industrial and manual
training building at each of the state
normal schools.
The $500 asked for curbing. macada-
mixing. etc. is estimated as the Nor
NAL schools share of the cost of mac
adamizing waldo street north from
Pressure Isle avenue. a petition for
which has been filed with the city
council.

BEAVER LAW A DRAWBACK.
That II Will Interfere With
Colonization Plans.

In connection with the movement to
colonize a large acreage of at present
vacant upper peninsula land. which Is
likely to be the outcome of the pur-
chase OF the old d. & M. lands by a st.
Paul company. 1t has been suggested
that the law protecting beaver. unless
repeated. may be a drawback to the
plan. II the marsh lands of this region
are to be settled and cultivated, the
first step will be the provision of ade-
quate drainage. At the present time
the beavers have all the small streams
blocked with their dams and none may
modest the animals.
Beavers not only prevent the nat
ural drainage OF lands but by building
their dams and shutting off the flow
of streams often make marshes Of
what would otherwise be dry land.
Complaint is also made that they are
destructive of small trees. There is n
general belief that the only reason for
protecting beaver Is n sentimental one
and that the development of the
country demands that the law be re-
pealed. The beaver and colonization
cannot exist In the same locality.

meeting dates for the village caucus

As far as can be learned there will
be little If any opposition for any of
the village elective positions Presi-
dent Frank H. Schumacher will, in all
probability. run for one more term.
He is being pressed to do so, he told
The News, b. his friends. and is seri-
ously considering it, Should he con-
sent to allow his name to be submit
ted for one more term. it is understood
lie will with no opposition.
The retiring aldermen are James
Mcclure, Edward Ulseth, and Mike
Sunich. All three are eligible for re-
election, although Mr. Ulseth has not
yet quite made up his mind whether
he viii be a candidate or not. 1t is
believed that his friends viii prevail
upon him To act for at least one more
year. With the Fifth street extension
scheme to be completed the coming
summer, it is argued that Mr. Ulseth
would be a valued official.
