SAYS C0vINGT0A HIGHWAY
IS WORST ROAD IN U. P.
AuTOlST DECLARES TRAFFIC ON
STRIP WILL BE LIGHT UN-
LESS IT is REPAIRED.

If Covington township, which a few
weeks ago finished grading road
some six or seven miles in length, con-
Meeting Baraga and Marquette coun-
ties, does not expend few thousand
dollars more on the job automobile
traffic between the iron and copper
districts will be extremely light, as the
stretch of highway is now by far the
worst piece of road TO be found any
where i'm the upper peninsula, says the
Mining Journal.
The road can be made a good one,
but II will require thousands OF wagon
loads of gravel, or other hard material,
to provide a proper surface. The great
er part of the road is now surfaced
with clay, and when the clay is wet
cars sink To their hubs. When il is dry.
as it is now, il is badly rutted and
very rough.
A party of Ishpeming men, who
made the run to the copper country
Wednesday with +. r. Nelson, in his
Franklin car. had To keep a firm grip
on the seats OF the car in order to
avoid being thrown out az the auto
passed over this part OF the highway.
Mr.. Nelson made the trip without us
ing his chains and without stopping
the engine from the time he left Ish-
peming until he arrived in Calumet.
six hours later.
A trip over this road is the severest
kind of a test for an auto and owners
of cheap cars take big risk when they
attempt TO make the run. The road up
to and beyond the Covington stretch is
in good condition, and in places cars
may be speeded up To forty miles an
hour There has not been a great deal
of traffic over the road since it was op-
ened and the less there is the better ii
will be, as every time car passes over
it new ruts are cut through the clay.
1t is said that gravel will have to be
hauled considerable distance to finish
the road, and it is thought il will cost
more to complete the job than has been
expended up to this time.
Houghton county is doing much road
work Many of the men made idle by
suspension of operations at some of the
mines are employed on the highways.
The road leading out OF Houghton to
Lake Linden is practically being re-
constructed at a very heavy expense,
but when the job is finished this high
way will compare with the road be-
tween Hancock and Calumet, which is
one of the finest in the state.

teachers free Friday night to hear the
governor speak on matters of import

In no other respect has the simply
tremendous program of the educa-
tional convention been curtailed. There
are to be about i,400 teachers in

SEEKS LOCAL INTEREST IN
STATE CHARITY MEETING
GOOD WILL FARM SUPERINTEN.
DENT GETS NOTICE OF CON.
FERENCE IN G. r.

Mrs. l.. j. Donaldson, superintendent
of the Good Will Farm and a vice
president of the Michigan Conference
of Charities and Corrections. has been
notified of the annual meeting of that
organization in Grand Rapids on oct.
2S.
Mrs. Donaldson expressed the hone
that at the Grand Rapids meeting ev-
cry charitable institution in Houghton
county would be represented at the
meeting and she has sent personal in
vitations to Mrs. Martin Foley, SUI
perintendent of the Houghton County
Tuberculosis sanitarium; William
Wahl, superintendent of the Houghton
county ingrmary; Miss Clarice Jones,
secretary of the Calumet Associated
Charities and to Miss Henrietta Hof-
fenbacher, visiting nurse of the
Houghton County tuberculosis socie-
ty
Houghton county is one Of the fore
most in the state in it's efforts on be-
half of the unfortunate. The institu-
tions represented by the persons nam
ed in Mrs. Donaldson's list, with the
addition Of the Good VIII Farm, make
an imposing array of charitable enter
prises, not exceeded in number or rel
ative accomplishment by any other
county in the state.
Mrs. Donaldson feels that all of these
institutions should be represented at
the conference for the credit Of the
county and for the undoubted good OF
each institution.
The conference program is one of
intense interest to every worker in the
field of organized charity. A number
OF speakers of national reputation in
special fields of charity or social uplift
work will be at the meeting. Mrs.
Donaldson expresses the opinion that
the addresses Of Mrs. Florence Kelley.
secretary of the National Consumers
league, on the question of a minimum
wage for women will alone be worth
the expense of attending the confer
ence.
OF interest to the copper country and
the entire upper peninsula is the fact
that Rt. Rev. G. Mott Williams OF
Marquette, Protestant Episcopal bish-
op of the upper peninsula, has been
invited to deliver the invocation at the
opening of the conference.
