School Board Resents Action OF Hancock
Superintendent OF Schools

SUPERINTENDENT OF schools
The board of Education of Crystal
Falls are justified in resenting the
action of Prof. Ii. ID. Lee. superin-
tendentof the Hancock city schools,
If the story that he tried to induce
Principal Burkhart of our schools to
jump his contract with the local board
and go to Hancock for next year is true.
The story which has been reported
to the board is that Mr.. Lee came here
during the absence of Supt. Hill and
asked of Prof. Burkhart's permission TO
''go through" the local schools. He
spent the day visiting the different
rooms In the two buildings and after
he had completed his visit he returned
to Mr., Burkhart and said, "I'm down
here after you. | want You to come
to Hancock to teach next year.
Mr.. Burkhart replied that he had
contracted with the Crystal Falls board
and didn't feel IL honorable TO leave.
Mr.. Lee, go the story goes. replied that
he would see Mr.. Hill abodt 1t. He
then went 10 southern Michigan and
from Ann Arbor wrote Mr.. Burkhart
letter Offering him $3.50 more per
year than he is getting TO go to Han
cock next year.
The matter was reported to Pres
Cercoran by Prof. Burkhart and. while
there Is no imminent danger OF Mr..
Burkhart jumping his contract, yet the
board feels that such actions as those
of Mr.. Lee. if the accusations against
him are true. are anything but con.
ducive TO developing honor among
teachers and pupils In our public
schools.

RETAINS FAlTHiN JERSEYS
w. S. Prckett Gives Figures In Support OF
that Breeds Fitness

Which is the better cow for the
Upper Peninsula farmers, Holstein or
Jerseyf Authorities differ somewhat
on that point. Some claim that the
Holstein is the harder animal and is
better adapted to this climate than the
Jersey. Others claim that the super
ior richness of the Jerseys milk make
it the ideal animal for the farmer, nc
matter where situated. Walter s.
Prickett. of Raycroft Farm. is inclined
TO believe that the Jersey as an invest
ment, everything considered. is pretty
hard to beat. Some years ago he Sc.
cured registered herd of Jerseys, and
since that time has been making record
after record with the herd. Eminent
Bess, one of the Prickett herd holds
the worlds record among Jersey COWS
for the production OF milk. and al
present M Pricket has two other cows
that are closely pressing Eminent's
Bess for the honors.
That the Jersey produces richer
milk than the Holstein and can be rails
ed at smaller cost are some Of Mr.,
Prickett's statements. In an article
recently published in the Michigan
Dairy Farmer be- compares the record
of Eminent's Bess with that of ia
May. the champion milk producer in
tho Holstein class. and the comparison
is decidedly interesting
La May, Nebraska COW produced
20, $50 30 pounds of milk during the
year, rs against Is. 7S2. 81 for Emf
nent's Bess But the latter produced
962. 80 pounds Of butter fat most
desirable milk product, as against
773. 40 for the Holstein. Figuring out
the relative cost of the various food
products and the quantity consumed
by the two COWS. MIR. Prickett arrives
at the conclusion that the cost pei
year for feeding the Holstein was $i7s

Trains Delayed Because OF Bad Conditions
OF Tracks
The incessant rains of the early part
of the week endangered the tracks of
the railroads serving Crystal Falls so
that trains were delayed. Last Tues
day night the train due TO arrive at
Claiming from the north at 500
O'Clock didn't get there until after
. ;00 o'clock a. m. Several washouts
on the South Shore north of Nestoria
was the cause of the delay.
A train on the South Shore was
ditched because of washout near
Chocelay and at numerous places along
the right-of- Of all the roads
dangerous places existed where trains
had to slow up or wait until they
were fixed.
Along the county road at several
places, danger from washouts threaten
ed and on the new Mansfield -Sagola
grade at Gordon's $ camp a bad washout
occurred.
The rainy spell was the severest that
we have had here in many a day
The Paint river is very high and
occupants Of the houses on the fiat ad-
jarent TO the river had to move into
the upper stories TO avoid the flood.
The rain stopped Wednesday and
Thursday the sun came out and q
change of weather conditions was in
evidence.

out all over the land. The smelters
have no market in sight and will not
buy ore.
WHAT is THE REASON
The reason for this condition is not
positively known. One reason which
is apparent and acknowledged by all
is the absence of the railroads from
the market. Others claim that the
tariff changes have great deal to do
with IL by creating state of uncer-
tainy and causing buyers to hesitate to
see il prices will not soften from
where they are now.
The railroads are not buying a
pound that they can avoid The hear
ing before the inter state tariff com
mission for an advance In freight rates
is now up and many claim that il is
70 influence this decision that the sus-
pension of buying operations has been
brought about. Some claim IL is
done designedly some claim that the
railroads can't do anything else. Many
think il is a question of which would
bring on the greater panic, the pass
ing of all dividends 80 as n put the
money into improvements or the pass
ing of improvements so as TO keep up
dividends and avert panic.
Whatever motive prompts them, one
thing is agreed, and that is that the
physical conditions of TIE roads is
getting very bad and that when buy
ing does start there must be lot OF il
TO make up for the neglect of the past
year OF so
OPTIMISM APPARENT
Through IL all there is a ray OF opti-
mism that ia refreshing. Many promi-
nent men in business life are confident
that as soon as the rate matter is de-
cided one way or the other there win
be change for the better. n the in
crease is denied it will be because in
vestigation has found that the Increas-
ed return is not needed from that
source and other sources OF revene will
be opened MP. The railroads will
then know what to expect and win
buy probably sparingly. but they will
buy.
Most people hold that If the advance
Is granted there will be 3 boom be-
cause of the necessity for immediate
rehabilitation in many cases, More
conservative ones hold that while there
will be an improvement u will be
gradual and not Sudden
Money Is reported 20 be plentiful and
seeking bond Investments principally
mnnIcipals for the reason that such
bonds are free Of income tax assess
ment This feature Is good omen ~
il spells safety from any panic such ..
afflicted us in 1898.

CITIES OF
THE DEAD.

AS. will be seen St. Paups Church
Cemetery Association will meet to-
! morrow night at 7:3O o'clock in the
Norton Memorial to hear reports on
the improvements made IN the
grounds some time ago.
That cemeteries of our city are not
in the slightly condition all would
wish is apparent to any one who walks
through them. If there could be.
some concerted action on the part
Of those interested in the different
cemeteries all should be-ways
and means could be devised to keep
these cities of the dead as presenta-
BILE as those of other cities.
In this connection it can be stated
that the government has materially
improved the roadway from Payne
street to the National Cemetery. 1t
now appears in the higher class mac
adam, and after it has been used
short time and shall have settled the
highway will be stable and smooth as
a city street. It is unfortunate that
this work does not extend to Alfred
street, as from Payne to Alfred the
thoroughfare is not only in an un-
slightly condition, but it is in need of
immediate repairs. The government
in 1886 constructed a macadam road
and brick sidewalks with granite
curbs on the north side Of Wilkes
street to the National Cemetery.
Some time in the nineties the officials
requested the city of Alexandria to
maintain the roadway from Wilkes
street to Payne, the government
agreeing to keep up the thGssugh-
fare from Payne street west The
city refused to do its part; hence
only two squares of the street are at
present in proper condition

ELECTION BUT
TWO WEEKS OFF.

While there is every reason to be-
lie"e The great majority of the pco-
pie os the United States are not dis
posed to bring about change in tho
present order OF things. from poll
tical standpoint, some republicans arc
st..i rurturinS sore places Suncr.n
duced by the setback their patry re-
c2ired two years ago when WoodrGM

majority of democrats sent to the
Hoiisa OF Representatives. That tho
party has made good all it's promis-
es and is still actively at work bring
ing about conditions which are be-
ing received with satisfaction b. tho
masses of all parties is sclf-eViden.
and needs no exploiting.
Notwithstanding these facts, some
republicans are dreaming that at the
election on the Sd proXimo a republi-
can majority will be sent to the House
of Representatives If any such thing
is to be done the sign is not discer
nible on the political sky at present.

be chasing rainbow. He says he has
used a telescope which shows that
the next House will have a republican
majority OF from forty to fifty. He
uses the time-worn full dinner pail
illusion as Il slogan.
Speaker Clark, with his eagle eye,
after rcccunting the salutary laws en-
acted by the present Congress, sums
the matter up in an epigrammatiG
sentence thus: Abraham Lincoln
