LOCAL HAPPENINGS

De La Genesta, son-in-law of the
local Vaudette manager, Z. H. Weise,
leaves soon with his company for their
winter tour. Genesta's company in
cludes his wife, Mrs. +. M. Spencer,
Mr.. Ernest Watkins, and Mr.. Spencer,
who does the advance work in addition
to himself and his stage assistant.
They show first in Cadillac, Traverse
City and Petoskey, then come back
to Alma and put on in connection with
the Vaudette, benefit show for the
Masons during their fair. Genesta
then will leave for Florida, showing
enroute and remaining in the south
until spring.
Workmen digging the sewer along
Bridge Avenue from the bridge to
Michigan avenue have been bothered
a great deal by quick sand, which lies
underneath the ground about eight
feet. At times it has been dangerous
to dig, but curbing has been built
along the sides and the woyk is pro-
crossing faster now. The sewer will
run about three hundred feet south of
Michigan avenue to provide sewage for
the houses along that street and the
Libby, Mcneil and Libby plant. Fif-
teen men are employed on the job.
The European war should prove an
indirect aid to American industry and
especially in the drug business. An
example of the dependence which Am
erican druggists have been forced to
place in European drug manufacture
is seen in the price of saccharina, tar
by-product which has a very sweet
taste. It's present price is $1.00 per
ounce. Three weeks ago the price
was 20 cents an ounce. American
thrift should profit with such an open
market.
Wilbur Lane, former Republic left
fielder, is. in the city for a couple of
weeks preparatory to going to Kala-
mazoo where he will finish his. college
course. Mr.. Lane has made a repu-
tation as pitcher in Merrill since the

COUNTIES WORTH LESS
State Board of Equalization
Reduce 1911 Figures
GRATI0T RAISED sG,100,000
Talk of Doing Away with State
Board of Equalization

A Lansing dispatch dated Septem-
ber noted a cut of S20,000,000 in
Houghton by the State Board of
Equalization. From the figures of the
state board which recently closed its
sessions, some very interesting facts
are observed by comparison with the
equalization of 1911, when the last ses-
sion of the state board was held.
A comparison has already been
made of the figures of the state board
of equalization as compared with
those submitted by the state tax COM
mission. Naturally person would be
led to believe that all the counties of
the state were raised over the figures
of 1911, but such is not the case. True,
SO of the counties were raised over
their equalized value of 1911, but ~
counties were lowered from the 1911
figure, while two remain the same.
Alger county, the equalized value of
which was placed at $6,000,000 by the
state board of equalization in 1911,
remains the same, the board this year
making no change Crawford county
equalized at $3,000,000 in 1911, also
remains the same.
Cheboygan county is lowered $780,
600 from the 1911 equalization figures,
Dickinson the same amout, Emmett,
81, 100000; Houghton, S20,000,00; Kali
kaska, S1,3O0,O00; Marquette, S2,OO0,-
900; Menominee, 100000; Newaygo,
100000; Osceola, 100000; Otsego,
S700,0O0; Roscommon, $4,000, and
Van Buren, 100000.
So much for the counties that were
lowered. Now here are a few exam
pies of those that were raised Lead
ing all, Wayne county was boosted
