A Solemn Petition.

Forwarded to his Excellency, the
President of the U. S. A., to his Ex-
celency the Postmaster General at
Washington and to the Governor of the
State of Michigan.
This petition is sent in the name of
our almighty God and in the presence
of his Holy Angels, and all the saints
/, in heaven.
We, the Christrian Anti-Liquor So
ciety of Skanee. Town. of Arvon, Coun-
ty of Baraga, State of Michigan, have
this day, the fourth day of December,
Nineteen hundred and thirteen, assem-
| bled in the name of our most blessed
redeemer Jesus Christ in prayer to hear
us in the following petition.
First we pray to the Government of
the U. S. A.who in Congress establish
es state laws for every state of the
Union and such laws to be enforced
with penalty upon every individual who
with actual and illegal business trans
gress such laws, learning our citizens
sinful and immoral deeds.
We pray you to hear us when we de-
sire to know if the Michigan state law
allows liquor traffic long carried on in
Skanee, Town Of Arvon, by your mail
carrier to such an extreme that he is
hauling beer and whiskey very openly,
both in large and small quantit es, not
having the least thought of doing
harm.
Second, that the mail carrier keeps
a station separate from his home where
he stops unloading boxes of liquor con-
tanning beer and whiskey which is af-
forwards delivered in the community,
So much that at times men are laying
on the roadside intoxicated every
where, and whiskey jugs and beer bot
ties can be seen all through the settle
ment as q convincial proof of this evil
merchandise.
But not only is the liquor traffic car
red on by mail between L'Anse and
Skanee but also by freight boat be-
tween HougLton ank Skanee.
Some times this boat carries an av'
erage of fifty gallons of VIII skey at one
time, and this business is carried or
with order books so as to save the cap
tain from individual responsibility, but
in such way we can not understand II
lawful plan, but merely systematic
scheme upon which he is unlawfullA
buying and selling the liquor for prof
and gain to himself without legal righ
from the community.
From this liquor traffic the whole
community is reaping nothing but evi
fruits. Our religious services are in
terrupted by intoxicated men. Ou
homes are in peril. Young and oil
people are led away from Godliness t.
serve the Baal of this world. Infidel
ity and crimes are the only harves
from this liquor tree.
: We the Christian Anti-Liquor Societ,
, of Skanee, Michigan, do hereby clos
7 our petition with our most solemn sup
plication to the Government of the U.
A. to immediately help US to enforc'
? the state laws of Michigan forbiddint
D all import of whiskey, beer, wine, il
, general all intoxicated drinks to not b.
shipped into the settlement of Skanee

The veteran, who was unhurt ana

he heard the sighting remarks

into an uproar Women fed for the

It was all over before the others OF
the men in the room could get their
breath and the men responsible for
it all had disappeared. The fight
spurred the medical men again last
night to an effort to have the Get

remainder of the celebration.

NO TRACE OF

Memphis, Tenn, July 5.-An all

bottoms in the vicinity Of Batesville
and Pope, Miss. failed to disclose
any trace Of the two bandits who
early yesterday held up and robbed
the Illinois Central southbound pas
senger train No. /, south Of Bates
Vile. Railroad and express COM
pany officials agree that the amount
of booty secured by the robbers
ranged between $500 and $4,000.
The train usually carries a large
amount OF money for small banks
along the line, but because yester-
day was a holiday the customary
shipments were not made. The mail
car, which also was rifled, carried
but few registered packages, accord
ing to Assistant Postmaster Seche Of
Memphis and the value OF these has
not been estimated.
Although the passenger coaches
were not disturbed great excitement
prevailed among the people on the
train. According to report by
Conductor Harrison, a few passen-
gers made stand in the negro
coach and exchanged shots with the
robbers when they conducted the
crews Of the express and mail cars to
the rear.
The holdup occurred shortly after
2 o'clock in the morning and 1t was

the senate. 1t would be possible for
the counties to be so divided that
where county is cut into two parts,
there would be no increase at all, and
it might even happen that the total
number would be smaller than before.
There will be net gain of at least one
in the territory formerly embraced in
in Lincoln county, as there had been
only two representatives, and with
three counties there will be at least
three from the same territory; it is
possible, also, that the middle county,
Lincoln county. will have enough voters
to get two members under the appor-
tionment bill.
There is no doubo that the present
legislature will pass resolution sub
mitting to popular vote constitutional
requiring all future county
divisions to be put up to vote of the
people interested and taking the Gre
ative power away from the legislature.
1t should have been part of the orig
lnal constitution, as reasonable self

Four new counties have already come
out of the legislative mill, and there is
enough raw material left to make half
a'dozen more, in the shape of other di-
vision bills up for passage.
The four new ones already become
realities are: Minidoka and Gooding,
cut out from old Lincoln county;
Power, cut out from parts of Oneida,
Blaine. Bannock and Bingham; and
Franklin, from the east side of Oneida,
with Preston as the county seat. Amer
lean Falls is to be the seat of govern
ment for Power county. The other
county bills now pending are, one for
the division of Boise county, one for
st. Maries and one for Boundary county
in the far north, and bills for three new
counties to be created from Fremont
county.
The last election settled the question
of giving one senator to every county,
the people voting for the constitutional
with very little dissent.
Under the old constitution, the number

government. The amendment will go
before the people at the next general
election, the fall of 1914, and if carried
will do away with all the log-rolling
that has accompanied the county di-
visions in every legislature for num-
Der of years.
Power county has been before the
legislature for three sessions. Two
years ago, it came up under two sepa-
rate bills, under separate names, and
was defeated by the narrowest of all
possible margins, both times. 1t has
been the most persistent county di-
vision plan ever presented to the legis-
lature, and only the hereditary and
political genius of Blaine county has
kept it from passing every time.
Blaine county loses fine stretch of
80 miles of the main line of the Oregon
Short Line railroad, which was worth
fighting for, even if under the old
division the territory in question could
not possibly be well governed by Blaine
county.

73 Years Old, Walks % Miles
In Snow In 3 1-2 Hours.

There are not many people who, miss

pay for ticket, will start out and
walk % miles over a snowy track,
through zero weather! You can almost
count them on the fingers of one hand
that hasn't any fingers at ALL
But James Spellman, living out at
the Spellman ranch beyond the Magic
Dam, did it one day this week. He in
tended to come in on the train, but
missed the train by five minutes. In
his case miss was as good as 22 miles,
for he set off down the track for Rich
field, and it took him five and one-half
hours TO reach town. That train crew
had hardly had time to get their engine
embarrassed and fed, when he came
steaming into town.

He served for almost four years in the
Civil War, and has been serving his
country ever since, as pioneer in vari-
Gus western states where there is room

weather, what he has done without
thinking twice about it.

of senators had been limited to 25;
there were not then nearly that num-
Der of counties, and the fathers of the
state did not dream how the state was
going to develop. With the three new
counties created by the legislature of
two years ago, there were 27 counties,
and all the new counties had to join in
senatorial districts with the older, par
ent counties. But under the new
amendment, all these counties, as well
as the new ones created this year and
in the future, will have separate SEN
ators. The number of senators next
year will be 81 as compared with the
"a at present; and if any other counties
are created before the legislature ad-
journs, that many more will be added.
The present house of representatives.
contains go members, apportioned one
to each county and the remaining mem
Ders based on population. The new
will probably add somewhat
to the present number, but not nearly
so large proportion as the increase in
