VICTORY" CLAIMS LANE.
Program Three-nfths Achieved with
Passage OF Alaskan Coal Bill.

On hearing of the passage by the
House OF the Alaskan coal-leasing bill,
Secretary Lane said:
This is the end Of an eIght-year struE-
gle. Eight years ago these coal lands in
Alaska were locked up. During that time
Alaska has been declining. Now her coal
Is to be opened to the world under con-
ditions that will prevent monopoly, and,
trust, insure development. This IL an
achievement OF which Congress may well
be proud, for It has been achieved with
out bitterness and practically without
partisanship. II Is real victory Tor
sensible anti-monopoly.
We now have achieved three-nfths OF
our conservation program-a railroad for
Alaska, a new reclamation law, an Alas
kan coal leasing bill The other two
measures, which already have passed the
House and will come before the Senate
in December, are a water-power bill and
a bill under which our oil. phosphate,
and potash lands can be opened and put
to use"

The game was clean, though not as

COUNTY INDUSTRY
IS THREATENED

If the game wardens of the lower
peninsula have their way it is possible
that profitable winter industry of the
county will become thing of the past,
that industry being fishing through the
ice. The following Lansing dispatch
will explain:
From general sentiment expressed
by the game wardens of the lower
peninsula at their recent meeting at
Lansing. it looks as though the next
Michigan legislature will be asked to
pass a law abolishing the practice of
spearin0 through the ice. The dscis-
ion would affect hundreds of upper pen
insula men who make fishing through
the ice their business every year.
Nor MUCH SPEARNG HERE.
The dispatch is somewhat ambiguous
as It conveys one suggestion that the
law will abolish all fishing through the
ice. In that event the fishermen of
Baraga county towns would suffer q
hardship because they generally do
their winter fishing with hook and line
rather than with the spear.

L'Anse Loses at Marqaede.

The City basketball team went down
to defeat at Marquette Sunday by
score of 39 to IL. The locals expected
a worse drubbing team this, for of the
FIVE games played against the strong
est teams, this is the lowest Marquette
has been held this season with reg
ular lineup. In part, the Marquette
Chronicle of Wednesday said:
Although last nights victory of
the Marquette City basketball team
was easily won, the local players en-
countered the strongest aggregation
they have met this season. L'Anse
did very good team work and had it
not been for the impossibility of guard
ing Ring and Catlin on account of their
height, the visiting team would have
succeeded in keeping the score down
considerably.

SUPERINTENDENTS AP-
PROVE OF CAMPBELL.

The superintendents of the poor, at
a meeting held at the Poor Farm Tues
day, adopted the resolution passed by
the board of supervisors June 26th,
1918. whereby they declared the ap-
pointment of August Gilman and Geo.
Trudeau illegal and recognized John
Campbell as superintendent OF the
poor.
The following is copy of the resolu-
tion as adopted:
Whereas, the board of supervisors,
: at its annual meeting in October 10th
1912 appointed one August Gilman of
Arvon township, as superintendent of
the poor, for the full term of three
years, and in january 1918. without
first declaring office vacant, appointed
George A. Trudeau. of the village of
L'Anse, superintendent of the poor,
for full term of three years, thereby
making total of four superintendent
of the:poor, when the law provides for
but three, we hereby declare the ap-
pointment of the said George A. Tru-
deau void and of no effect. Inasmuch
as the law requires that one of such
superintendents Of the poor shall re-
side at the county seat, and the said
August Gilman being disqualified be-
cause of not being resident of L'Anse
we hereby declare his appointment to
have been void. We deem it unwise
that any superintendent of the poor
have his public Office in a saloon, where
women and children must go to receive
county help, etc., which is an added
reason why the said George A. Trudeau
should not hold such Office;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
there are now in existence but two
superintendents of the poor, who were
qualified for the Office at the time of
their appointment. and we declare the
appointment of August Gilman to be il
legal because of his place of residence;
we declare the appointment of George
A. Trudeau to have been illegal at the
time of his appointment and that va
cancy now exists.
We hereby appoint John Campbell, as
a superintendent of the poor, to fill the
the unexpired term of three years
from January est, 1918 to January 1st
1916 to fill vacancy of Office held by
Otto Fl. Sengebusch up to said date of
January 1st, 1918.
At this meeting the superintendent
of the poor rejected the bill of Under
taker Hansen for $500 for casket,
etc., for John Vermette, who died last
April,

COUNTY CLERKS AS
EMPLOYMENT AGENTS.

County Clerk Voetsch is in receipt of
a letter from State Labor Commission
er Cunningham stating that he believes
scheme whereby all county clerks
acted as employment agents for farm
ers in their county would. be success
and asking Mr.. Voetsch to cooperate.
The letter in part follows:
"The great and all absorbing ques-
tion confronting the farmers of our
state is that of securing farm help.
IL am writing to you to ask you if it
would be possible for you to cooperate
with us by maintaining free employ
ment bureau in connection with your
office in order that those seeking en-
ployment and the employer might have
a central meeting point, you in turn to
notify us of your requirements. After
we once get started, believe that you
would be able to keep your help in your
respective counties and to large de-
gree solve the problem. When we send
man to farm job they return to US
when their work is completed. Under
this plan I believe they will apply at
the nearest county seat for another
position. The satisfaction of knowing
you have helped to solve this great
problem will, ! believe. more than re-
pay you for the additional amount of
work.
II presented this problem to the
State Association of Supervisors which
met ut Lansing recently. They heart
lily approved and some of them person
ally assured me that it was well worth
being tried Out"
While the plan is undoubtedly a good
one and would be good thing for the
farmers as well as those seeking farm
work in the lower peninsula, It is doubt
ful IL it would be much of success in
this section. The farmers have never
experienced any trouble, so far as ID
known, in securing al the help wanted
without any assistance from an .em-
ployment bureau.
