Hooplngarner Was There

They organized farm bureau at
Houghton last Saturday and among
the fellows asked to visit Houghton on
that day and give advice 70 the pro-
moters Of the movement was our
county agriculturisi, II. g. Hoopin-
garner. Iron county was the first
county in the upper peninsula and -one
OF the very first in the state OF Michi-
gan TO employ county agriculturist
and now we are being patterned after
all over.
In speaking OF the visit of MIR Hoop
ingsrner 10 the copper country The Cal.
umet News says:
"Mr Hoopingarner gave a snort ad
dress on the success OF the plan as tried
in the Iron county. Mr.. HoopiDgarner
regarded the hiring of farm experts AZ
the third great event in the history OF
agriculture. the other two being the es-
tablishment OF agricultural colleges and
experiment stations. The third step IL
greater than the first two in many
ways IA the expert brings TO the farm
ers the accumulated experience and
knowledge Of the other two
The great trouble tnat the expert
will have 10 contend with will be the
conservatism OF farming population.
He recommended policy OF construo-
tive education which will bring 20 the
tarmers attention the economic possi
bilities of his vocation He declared
that not more than ten per cent OF the
upper peniDsuis farmers were getting
more than good wages and declared
that economic condition would have Co
be greatly changed before farming
wouId become really profitable. Mr..
Hoopingarner Expressed himself as De-
ing dissatisfied with the treatment that
the Iron county businessmen are ac.
cording the farmers 10 their district
and he declared that he hoped that the
Houghton county businessmen would
adopt q better policy IN this regard.

BY getting the contract let and other
preliminary work of that nature out OF

and there is little question about that.
II will take at least three months TO

property was settled today IL would be
about June lst before any actual con-
struction work can be done. The pre-
sent council thinks that by getting
these preliminaries out OF the way that
the work can start the minute that the
title Is perfected.
One member OF the council, in speak

Attention, Mr. Leith

eral valuations ne fixed ut the snap ses
sion of the tax commission az Hough.
ton and the subsequent hearing in this
city and we have blamed great deal
of the fault for those valuations upon
Prof. Leith. Not that we believe for
n minute that Mr.. Leith is dishonest
but we do think that he trusted too
much TO his calipers and lead pencil as
applied TO the blue prints and assays
that were shown him by the operating
companies and not enough upon per
sonal inpsection and good morse sense.

mission, saw tit To advise reduction

Lieth estimation shipped 435, OO0

POLITICS WARMING UP
Promises of Heated Contest Over Several
OF the City offices.


OF the City offices.
That politics are warming up is
apparent about town when you get
mixed in with those interested in the
outcome of events There will be- three
tickets on the official ballot, the Re.
publican. Democratic and Socialist.
The National Progressive ticket was
not allowed TO be printed by the conn.
ell because Mr.. Flood and Isaac Ander.
son the only nominees on that ticket
didn't get 10 per cent OF the votes cast
for secretary OF state at the election
last fall.
Progressive champions come back
with the assertion that Chas Neuge.
bauer the democratic nominee for su
pervisor in the second ward didn' Z re-
ceive fifteen per cent of the vote either
TO which the council answers. and an
swers correctly, that the per ccntage is
taken from the vote Of the party as a
whole and not from any one candidate
OF the party. This does not seem 70
satisfy the progressives however, who
feel that the council should have al
lowed all tickets 10 be printed this year
owing.to the mixup over the primary
and this action leaves some sore spots.
The contest for treasurer is the
bright and shining light in the city
end OF the affair. John Tufts and
Robert Munns have hooked up in "a

should have been drawn in a local con
test and all hope that the present legis-
lature will repeat the obnoxious enroll

that next year we may revert back 10
