Inventor Of the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake. the
one that has proved practicable and of
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872. superseding the non-automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1863, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as in the case of most other in
ventions. there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus
Nine. M. Drouanet, daughter of NJ.
Debruges of Paris. claims the distinc-
tion of priority for her father. The
New York Times has letter from
State Senator William p. FIero of
White Plains containing a patent office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller. of new and useful improve
ment in the application of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of op-
Grating railroad brakes" recorded Jan
uary 2, 1856. Mr.. Miller was doubt
less a pioneer in the progress of air
brake invention.

THE RETURNING TIDE

For number of years a strong tide
of emigration from all parts of the Un-
tied States has been flowing into the
British Northwest. The development
of the great grain fields of Montana
and that section has sent the human
tide of settlement beyond into Alberta.
AGsoniborn and Saskatchewan.
This great settler movement was
Systematically fostered by the Domin-
ion government and the Canadian
railroads, and it appeared as if the i'm
migration tide would flow to the great,
undeveloped northwest for many years
The time has now arrived, however,
when the tide has reached its maxim.
um and the ebb tide is on, The long,
cold winters, the protracted feeding
season, the high cost of living, the isol-
alton of the vast thinly populated areas
and other causes have combined to
cause many of the United States people
in the Canadian northwest to dispose
of their property there and return to
''the States"
The far-away hills are greenest, and.
as the poet says, Distance lends en-,
chantment to the new" The farther
away an unknown or little known land
is the more alluring it is. The Canadi-
an government in addition to the offer
OF fertile lands ar low prices per acre,
offered many other inducements to set
tiers, such as light taxes, or remission
OF taxes for term of years, in some in
stances, financial assistance, etc.
All these, however, are outweighed
by the advantages the pioneers who
went there may enjoy in their own
land. This they are now realizing and
that is why every train eastward brings
back to the United States some of our
citizens who are glad to get back home
and some Of their stock and equipment
TO begin life anew in some one of the
many attractive farming sections OF
our own country,
Many OF these returning farmers are
settling in the west, others are finding
locations in the great middle west, and
still others are looking to the eastward
The solid advantages of Michigan are
attracting some of them and thousand:
OF them might, with good advantage
come to Michigan and settle on some
OF the untitled lands, of which we yer
have millions of acres, desirable fol
farming purposes that have never seer
a plow.

LAST OF DAVID
WARD ESTATE
Final Holdings of Mammoth
Estate Will be Sold Within
a Few Months.

In few months the last timber land
holdings of the great D. Ward estate
will be sold at public auction at Bay
City, The sale is set for August 4th.
The estate yet owns nearly 10000 acres
of land lying chiefly in the counties of
Kalkaska, Otsego, Antrim and Craw-
ford. Millions in value have already
been divided among the heirs, and
when this sale is is completed the
curtain will be rung down on one of
those clear-cut instances of great gains
from the monopoly of natural oppor-
tunities.
In his youth, during the days of the
Civil War, and after, David Ward was
a "land,looker. He roamed the Mich
igan woods locating" sections of land
In which the growth first Of pine and
afterwards hardwood was dense and
accessible, Then he would 90 to the
proper land office and claim ownership
at II ,25 per acre,
Afterward lumbermen went to work
and the cut logs were either floated
down some stream or shipped by rail to
the mills. Those who did the cutting
often were not con cerned whether
their operations were all confined to
their own land, but if the prospects
were good they also cut on the adioin-
ing government land, Occasionally,
too, they not only cut their own and
government land, but they stopped
over into the nearby territory of rival
corporations.
So little did these owners of these
tree-coYered areas think of the actual
soil, that after the land had been de-
nuded of timber. they declined to pay
the taxes on it, and let thousands of
acres revert back to the state.
David Ward was a many-time Million
aire; David Wards heirs were all mil
lionaires. Some of them have wasted
their wealth from the unearued incre-
ment, but the people of Michigan are
the ones who furnished these millions
and for many years they will continue
TO pay toll to the foresight of David
Ward and the statutes that allow the
monopoly of such a natural opportunity
for labor and wealth as nature-grown
forests, ts,-Otsego Co. Advance.

used for auxiliary purposes, The new
engine is about half the capacity of
the one at present il commission and
is intended for use where the '1oad'

days While we are having excellent
24-hour service, it taxed the large en-
gine by continuous running and only
during daylight on Sundays was it shut
down for any length of time for over
hauling,
When the new plant was built plans
were made for installing the auxiliary
engine but owing to some litigation over
the gas engines it was found necessary
to leave these engines in position un-
til the matter could be adjusted, A
settlement favorable TO the Electric
Light Co. was recently effected and
work of removing these engines has
commenced.
