October 9th when he was murdered.
He was found in dying condition by
other guards, never recovering con-

Purchase Large Launch.

Messrs. Arvid and Emil Roselle, Of
Skanee, on Tuesday purchased gaso-
line boat from Mrs. Samuel Melton Of
Hancock and will operate freight and
passenger boat from Skanee to Pc
quaming. L'Anse, Baraga and Hough-
ton the coming season. The boat is
72 feet long, with a 20 foot beam and
has an 80 h. p. engine, and will give
good service to the owners.
During the season of navigation,
the Skanee business is practically all
done by water and as this settlement
is growing and the agricultural inter-
ests are getting larger each year. the
only feasible way to get the produce to
market is BY boat. Hence, number
have entered the field in carrying
the freigh. and profitable business is
being done with the outside market.
This section of Baraga county has no
railroads, but with the boats to aid,
the produce reaches the various mar
kets in excellent condition.

Prof Funkhauser had only words of
the warmest commentator for the
Oroville school, not only regarding
the excellent modern school building
which he declared would be a credit
to a town of many times the size of
Oroville, but of the able corps of
teachers and the bright and we'll dis
ciplined pupils. He remarked that at
last Oroville was on the map as a
school town, and it's high standing was
largely due to the faculty that has
worked so hard to improve the stand
ard of efficiency. He said many other

and the people, showing that he fully
appreciated the reception extended to
him and his top notch bunch of pupils

PLAN MISCARRIED

Letters from the Lyon-Taylor COM
pany, that furnished the pianos and
other prizes for the vote contest now
in progress, were received several
days ago by candidates in the contest
stating taht special prize of a lady's
gold watch would be given to the can
didate turning in the greatest number
of votes to the Gazette office on sub
scriptions and renewals between Feb
ruary 23rd and March 7th. Unfortu-
nately the watch was not received at
this office in time to advertise the
proposition, and take up the plan with
the candidates. In the meantime an
arrangement was entered into with
Messrs. Bartell and Samson, the other
firms interested in the contest, that
no special offer to secure votes would
be made prior to the close of tn,
contest, so that every candidate would
stand on the same footing, and there
would be no holding back of votes
for a special offer. Hence the watch
will be returned to Lyon Taylor COM
pany, and as nothing has been said
by candidates who cast votes during
the time between February % and
March 7, no harm has been done.
