CONTRACT IS LET FOR
NEW OTTER LAKE ROAD
THOMAS DRAPEAU GETS CON
TRACT FOR BUILDING ROAD
TO OTTER LAKE.

The Portage Township board met
last evening and took up the matter OF
letting the contract for the building of
the new otter Lake road.
Three bids were received and the
contract was finally let TO Thomas
DTapeau of Laurium. whose bid OF S2l,-
1858 was the lowest Of the three re-
ceived The other bids were S23,ilS'2O
from Hildcbrand and Narcotic and
another of s2l,s29.77 from Stoyle and
Michels All of the bids received for
the building of three bridges were re-
iected on the recommendations of En-
gineer Fesing who did not believe that
more than two bridges would be nec-
cssary and did not approve of the
specifications for the other two, bridges
which are TO be of reinforced concrete.
John Michaelson from Otter Lake
appeared before the board and asked To
be given Sl25 a year for allowing the
other residents i'm that part of the
township to use his private bridge. In
the past he had been receiving $50 a
year for the same purpose and the
board thought they were being held
up" and did not hesitate TO say so.
The offer was rejected.
The matter of the construction of
road az Beltry running through farm
owned Ny a man named Johnson. VINO,
it is said, has been refusing to allow
the school children to pass through
his land on their way to school, also
came up and finally was tabled. The
heard received a communication from
these residents about Il year ago which
said they were willing TO build the road
If the township made the survey. This
was done at an expense to the town
ship of nearly $500 and then the resi-
dents refused To build the road and
asked the township TO nut il I'm. This
The board was unwilling to do and
passed the matter up.
Residents of the Paradise location
appeared before the board and asked
the board to force Louis Vaudnais to
open the private road which he closed
to them some time ago after selling
them land which could not be reached
in any other way. Since this was
private and not n township matter, tho
board could not act in the matter, but
did refer the matter to Attorney Ham
bitter for his opinion.

~ opposite to that for which IL was in
tended.
The many bills introduced in Con
gress providing for federal tncorpora-
ton of large business ventures and
aiming at increased efficiency of the
sherman Anti Trust Law, indicate a
public conviction that the law has fail
ed To prevent monopoly. There is a
growing conviction that reasonable
trade combinations between the smaller
business concerns are necessary 10 en-
able them to compete with the larger
concerns and that its prevention is
driving them out of business. and in
this way serving to aid monopoly rath-
CT than TO discourage il.
In the present disorganized condition
of the bituminous coal mining indus
try, the smaller operators are prevent
ed from forming such reasonable trade
combinations as will enable thsm to
meet the combinations of the larger
buyers Of coal; To develop foreign
markets; or which might enable these
operators to effect such economies Of
production as would make possible the
better protection Of the lives Of the
miners, better conservation Of the
national resources. and to provide com
pensation for the victims of mining ac-
cidents.
These conditions can only be properly
met by the highest cooperation be
tween operators. To permit this CO.
operation. a bill for a proposed Inter
state Trade Commission has been pre-
pared. which reasonable trade agree
ments, subject to governmental regula-
tion. may be permitted. The wisdom
of the enactment of such a law will
be submitted for discussion.
Mine Taxation.
Perhaps no subject directly affecting
the mining industry has received so
little attention from mining men AS
that Of taxation.
Tho timber culturist is taxed upon
lumber only when cut. and is exempt
from taxation during the growing per
led.
The assessment of an orchard on the
basis of what it might reasonably be
expected to produce during its lifetime
in addition to the acreage value of the
land would be considered ridiculous,
hut rs applied to a mine il is accepted
in many states as reasonable.
The taxes upon property in the west
crn states approximately equals it's
value every thirty years; in effect, the
owner of taxable property in these
states contributes in excess taxation
the value of the untaxed public lands
every thirty years.
The mines which i'm many countries
pay the great bulk Of the taxes carry
the additional burden of the untaxed
property.
a discussion OF this general subject
will be welcomed with a view to some
definite and equitable plan for the
taxation of mining property.
Aid for Mining Schools.
The principle of Federal Aid to
Agricultural Schools has long been
recognized with great advantage to the
country at large. The argument ap-
plies with even greater force to mining.
because the problems Of mining re

The position in regard 10 the pro-
posed formation of a Western league of
the Northern Union changes from day
to day, and nothing like settlement
has, apparently been reached.
At Cambourne there is no hesitancy
on the matter. To prepare for con-
ference at Newton on Saturday meet
ing of the committee, subscribers and
players of the Rugby club was held on
Friday night. There was large at
tendance. and it is understood there
was a unanimous vote in favour of
Joining the Northern Union. A repre-
sentative was sent To the Newton con
ference with full power TO act.
The meeting at Newton lasted three
hours. but at the close. instead of a
definite announcement. it was init
mated that there was nothing to com
municate TO the Press at that stage.
The movement received decided
and unexpected setback on Monday,
when the Newton officials passed a res
olution that in consequence of the in
ability of the promoters To get more
than six clubs (half the number origin
ally anticipated), the club would have
nothing to do with the movement this
season. ON Tuesday night q meet

HOLD SESSION
AT SPOKANE
Annual Meeting of American Min
ing Congress There

The call has been issued for the fif-
teenth annual session of the American
Mining Congress. which win be held
at Spokane. Wash, Nov. 25-2S. II is
expected the Michigan branch of the
Congress. recently organized at Hough-
ton, will be represented.
The American Mining Congress is a
practical organization, deyoting itself
TO the economic. administrative and
commercial, to what might be termed
Mining Politics. rather than to the
technical phases of mining.
Its annual conventions are held for
the purpose Of keeping in closer touch
with the needs of the Mining Industry.
They provide an oPen forum for full
discussion of the more important sub
.,ects through which all persons who
have plans for the betterment OF min
ing conditions can be heard. through
which the organization can be directed
in the channels Of most effective effort
Matters OF interest in the convention
call are:
Conservation.
Conservation In its true sense means
the highest possible use with the least
possible economic waste II is not an
Alaskan question. II is only in limit
ed way a question affecting the public
land states. 1t rs a question of waste
prevention, and its consideration is
most greatly needed where the great
est waste prevails.
During the year 1910, two thousand
eight hundred and thirty-fi five lives were
lost in coal mining accidents; five hum
dred and hfty-three thousand men
employed in the bituminous coal-min-
ing industry, mostly IN the eastern
states. were idle more than 100 days
and approximately 100000 600 tons of
coal were wasted in the mining op-
Grafton. A preventable waste in one
year Of more than 1900 lives. of 55,-
000O0o days of Abor. and 100000 600
tons OF coal calls loudly for an effort
in the direction Of real conservation.
The better protection OF the lives Of
miners. the proper conservation Of coal
resources and proper compensation for
the victims of industrial accidents can
be secured through an increased cost Of
production. There can be no possible
question as % the demand for better
