Fuller Receives
1858 Majority.
Popular and Efficient Upper Peninsuls
Man Re. ELECTED Auditor General
For Third Term.

Hon. Oramel B. Fuller, the most pop
ular and competent man to ever hold
the office of auditor general Of the
state of Michigon, has been reelected
for third term by majority of 8, 683.
Mr.. Fuller was the only candidate
on the Republican ticket from the Up
per Peninsula and his election over
Speaker Baker, man who has q wide
acquaintance and strong personality, is
convincing that the people of this state
desired to reward an officer who has
been as efficient as Mr.. Fuller.
Cognizant as the people of the upper
peninsula are of Mr.. Fuller's sterling
qualities as citizen, they join, regard
less of party affiliation, in wishing him
another successful Germ in the office,
the duties of which he has so faithfully
and efficiently discharged during the
past four years.
The people of the state of Michigan
honored themselves when they reflect
ed Oramel B. Fuller.

Tax Commission
Workers Here.
New Assessment Rolls Being Made OF
the Entire State OF
Michigan.

Under the supervision of Donald
Payne, of Genesee county, crew of
men are here to visit every forty acre
tract and every lot in the villages and
place fair value on them. When
they have completed their work time
and place will be appointed, when
those feeling aggrieved by the valua-
tions set may be heard. After matters
have been adjusted new assessment
roll will be made.
The men are doing this work thru
out the entire state. 1t does not mean
that taxes will necessarily be higher.
for the men have been raising the val
uation considerably wherever. But it
does meau that the big fellow who has
had the pull in reducing his valuation is
going to have to come across with his
coin hereafter.
This work is done by reason of pro-
test. 1t is the contention of the min
ing companies that they are assessed
too high, but experts contend that they
are not and the state is now putting
the values on all property where they
rightly belong.

SURE SOME CHANGE.

We were more or less, the latter
probably, interested in a serial which
started in a certain Upper Peninsula
weekly, headed "The Crime of the
Nineteenth Century" not because it
was a hundred years out of date, as
much as was the evident fact that its
structures were directed at our friend
John o. Maxey, and his sole crime
seemed to be that he placed L'Anse on
the map in such large letters that it
dimmed the light Of the little town
across the bay.
We were looking with intense inter-
terest to the second chapter, but we
doomed to disappointment for the par
tlcular weekly came out with several
and sundry bouquets for Mr.. Maxey.
Some of them did not seem to fell with
good grace from the editorial pen, but
still from pen which seemed ready to
he dipped in Maxey's gore but one
short week before, they were surely
noticeable.
The paper goes so far as to say that
L'Anse is the best town in Baraga
County, and for paper published in
Bendryville, that certainly is "going
some" Of course if they read the
"Miner" they would have known this
long ago. Most of the other Clover
land papers got in right quite while
ago on this proposition. -Keweenaw

The Even section of Ontonagon coun-

since the recent development in agri-
culture along the South Shore, num-

deman ling the news. Billie can give
them a bright, newsy sheet, and he
should receive the solid support of the
business men there, as no community
can expect to be on the map unless it
has a live paper. and editor to boost it

Spur Township Loses Citizen.

George Mcdonald, one of the hen
ored citizens of Spur township, has
shaken the dust of this county and in
the future will reside at Michigamme.
No definite reason has been given for
his moving. but it Is rumored that,
since the election of President Wilson,
George has been casting coveted glanc-
es at the position held by Gordon MUIR
ray.
The principles of President Jackson,
that Ito the victor belongs the spoils,"
is one Of Georges maxims and as his
past record as Democrat is without
flaw or blemish, he soon will expect to
have the pleasure of reading the post
ais and affixing P. NJ. after his mis-
nomer.

And thereby hangs a tale,

Counties To Aid
The Settlers.
Senator James to Introduce Bill in the
Legislature for Improvement
Of Cut-Over Lands.

Cloverland senators and representa-
tives are advocating the passage OF
bill authorizing counties in Michigan to
loan their credit to settlers by issuing
special improvement bonds for the pur-
pose of securing money to defray the
expense of reclaiming cut-over lands by
removing the stumps, and making the
bonds special lien upon the lands i'm
proved, an. such a bill will in all prob
ability be introduced in the next legis-
lature.
This plan has been tried out success
fully in Wisconsin and as result much
cut-over land that has been overlooked
for several years has been reclaimed
and found to be excellent farming ter
rtory. Senator James, of Hancock,
one of the enthusiastic promoters of
this roposition, has received copy
of the law in force in Wisconsin. The
measure to be introduced for Michigan
will likely contain numerous provisions
more adapted to this state but will be
similar to the laws of the Badger
state.
The Wisconsin law reads that when
Is or more settlers of any county petit
tion the county board, setting forth
that they are the owners of cut-over
land. and it would promote the public
welfare to reclaim this Land by clearing
the stumps. the County! board may is
sue comfy, no less than four per cent
per annum, non-taxable semi-interest
coupon bonds, executed in behalf of the
county, the bonds not to be sold to nom
residents until residents of the county
shall have a fair chance to purchase
them. These bonds will not evidence
any general county liability, but shall
be special tax lien prior to all other
liens upon the lands.
The lands will be reclaimed and
cleared of stumps under contract
made by the owner, the contract to be
approved by the chairman of the coun-
ty board of supervisors. The special
taxes regarding payment are to be
treated as any other ia es and when
collected are to be paid into the coun-
ty treasury for use in discharging the
bonds as they fall due. The collection
of bonds would be enforced by foreclos-
ure in the manner mortgages on real
estate are foreclosed.
1t is the opinion of Senator James
that bill of this character in Michi-
gan would do much in the way of re-
claiming lands that have been neglect
ed for several years, in some instances
have never been touched since the vir-
gin pine was cut during the peninsula's S
early days.
The upper peninsula during the past
three or four years has made wonder
full progress in interesting persons to
take to farming. Hundreds of acres
of cut-over lands have been taken up
and as a result the public in few
years will be able to purchase its pro-
ducts from home markets instead of
having them shipped in.
Baraga county has a vast area of
cut-over lands that contain some of the
best soil in the state, and if financial
aid could be obtained in the manner
suggested, apparently worth les s
wastes would soon be converted into
fruitful farms.
