In Next Legislature

Senator w. Frank James announce,
troduccd into the next session of the
legislature to aid in the reclamation
of the cut over lands in the state
the Hancock senator announcing that
If the bill was not introduced by some
other member of the legislator he
would himself frame and introduce
the bill
The proposed law is very similar to
the law passed in Wisconsin i'm 1911.
The Wisconsin, law which is to be the
basis of the Michigan bill, Is as fol-
lows:
For the purpose of promoting the
public welfare by enabling settlers to
reclaim cut over lands. the county
board of any county may issue special
Improvement bond for the purpose.
when twenty five or more settlers
petition the county board setting forth
that they are the owners of cut over
land, describing same and that ii would
promote the general welfare To re-
claim said lands by clearing the same
of stumps, and that the cost therefor
has been estimated by some Compel
cnt person and setting forth such
estimate as to each governmental sub
division of forty acres, the county
board may issue county, not less than
four per cent per annum. taxable
semi interest coupon bonds. executed
i'm behalf of the county by the COUNTY
chairman and countersigned by the
county clerk, said bonds to be sold at
not less than par and not to non resi-
diets until residents of the county
shall have a fair opportunity i'm the
opinion of the county clerk to pur-
chase the same The proceeds shall
he paid into the county treasury and
shall he used i'm defrayine the ex-
pcnsc of clearing and retaining the
cut over lands described i'm the petit
ton but the amount to be paid to
any one owner of land from the pro-
Cceds of the sale shall not exceed the
amount estimated IA the petition as
necessary Ia clear the land and shall
not i'm any case exceed the sum of
twenty-five dollars per acre"
Senator James I'm commenting on
This issue said that such a law was |
needed in Michigan i'm his opinion and |
that its operation would he a great
benefit not only To the lower peninsu-
Ia hut also To the upper Michigan |
counties. There is great deal of
land in Houghton county alone that |

will be for the state.

UPON WEATHER CONDITIONS.

UPON WEATHER CONDITIONS.
The committees in charge of the
Farmers Day program for tomorrow
met Wednesday evening for a final
adjustment of plans, but the weather
conditions are seemingly dishearten-
ing and it is questionable if the
storm will permit Of many of the
sports and open air events planned.
However, the farmers and others
in the city may be assured of a
hearty welcome tomorrow, and while
perhaps the early snow may cause
some discomfort and will doubtless
tend to keep many away it is ex-
pected Virginia will be host to a
goodly number of the tillers of the
soil.
Plans for open air exhibits may
have to be changed, and to that end
the committee has arranged for the
use of the Fay Opera House If found
necessary, while other buildings will
be opened to visitors throughout the
day. 1t is hoped, however, the sun
may shine forth and give Virginia
bright day that all plans may be
fulfilled insofar as possible, and that
the city's guests for the day may
return to their homes with praise
of the entertainment rendered them

AS to when the new line may be

shortly.

RECEPTION FOR TEACHERS
A PLEASING SUCCESS.

The reception rendered the teach
ers Of our public schools at the
handsome new Technical High on
Friday evening last was a most de-
lightful affair, it baing estimated
that no less than six hundred par
ents and citizens interested in our
school system being in attendance.
The Kraft-Petersen orchestra fur
nished music for the occasion, those
desiring enjoying a dancing party
in the gymnasium room, while 9TH
ers inspected the beautiful building
and formed a more mutual acquain-
lance with the tutors of their young
people. Light refreshments were
served by the ladies, and all voted
the evening one of the most pleas
ing social events in the history of
the city.

that J. w. Murphy, democratic can

With no i'll will in the matter, and

goes, we believe Mr.. Murphy can
make a far closer guess after the
November election. The iron ranges
of Minnesota are pretty solidly re-

are given to voting her straight" to
an extent which will have much to
do with the probable result.

1T is given out that President Taft
seriously considers the idea of plac-
ing all fourth class postmasterships
on the civil service list. Such a
move would be accepted by citizens
in general as a most estimable one;
in fact, every post-oft1ce employe
aside from the postmaster general
should be included in the list of
those who hold position because of
their proven fitness and ability. 1t
would mean better service in many
instances, and would tend to take
the plum out of politics, where it has
fallen by common consent.
