q. P. D. q. Animal Meeting.

The first annual meeting Of the Up
per peninsula Development Bureau will
be held in the city of Marquette Tues
day, Feb. 9Th. The time and place
were fixed at the organization meeting
held in Menominee last February. Re-
ports of the various officers will be
presented and the great work of bu-
reau. as accomplished to date. will, at
this time, be given publicity. Plans
for 1912 will also be submitted. At this
meeting officers will be elected and
much business of Importance trans
acted.
Since the organization Of the bureau,
the upper peninsula of Michigan has
been widely advertised and if there
have beer any doubters as TO the efflc-
acy of publicity, they have since joined
the fold of the boosters. Many indi-
vidual land owners and land companies
have reported to the managers office
that they have been receiving inquir-
les. for acreage and are firm in their
conviction that wise step was taken
when the bureau was organized and II
was determined to inform the outside
world of the resources and opportuni.
ties found in the upper peninsula.
There seems to prevail a general feel.
ing of satisfaction at the work so far
accomplished and there will no doubt
be large attendance at the annual
meeting to listen to the details Of the
work that has been done.

ing the delinquent list to small
amount.
