Peninsula Development bureau at
Marquette Tuesday nine resolutions
were read and unanimously adopted.
These dealt with all phases of the bu-
! reaus activity, and are as follows:
Representation at Exposition.
Resolved, That the Upper Peninsula
Development bureau urge upon our
legislature the wisdom and necessity
of making an adequate appropriation
| for the purpose of having the state of
Michigan properly represented at the
Panama exposition to be held at San
| Francisco in 1915.
Will Support Cattle Show.

the promoting Of "a Cloverland cattle

| ment bureau:
BE ii Resolved, That the directors
| and executive committee OF this or
! SANITATION are hereby instructed to use
all honorable means to have such

Would Have State Help Settlers.
| Whereas, one of the serious draw
| backs to the early settlement and de-
velopment of Cloverand is the lack Of
| financial means on the part of settlers
, to clear enough land at the outset to
enable them to make a living off the
products of the soil; therefore

whereas agriculture has become a
large and important industry in said
district; and whereas IL has been GUS
| tOmary for many years To give this
district of the state one member of
the state board of agriculture, and in
view of the greater need of present
representation than heretofore, we
respectfully urge that the delegates
from each county in Cloverland to
each political convention make a spe-
cial effort to secure the nomination Of
a candidate from the upper peninsula
for member of said board at said con-
vention.
Acknowledges Press Support.
Whereas, in the development of any
pioneer country like ours the press has
always been the most potent force in
keeping the wheels of progress in mo-
ton; and
Whereas, the press of Cloverland,
without fee or reward. has been ar
IDENTIFY assiduous in educating it's peo-
pie as to its manifold advantages SO
long neglected and in intoxicating in
! II -, -. n,
tons of their neighbors and in Great
ing in men in high places an earnest
enthusiasm for the general welfare of
all; therefore
BE il Resolved, That this bureau for
and in behalf of all Cloverland, ac-
knowledge it's debt to the press for
the great and abiding good it is &C
complishing and hopes for an extern
sion of it's influence and an enlarge
ment of it's prosperity.
