WANT LIGHT FOR
SAWT00TH REEF
vesseImen Say Lack of Signal Is
Cause of Many Wrecks

Twenty-Five years ago Col. Ludlow.
then In charge of the eleventh district
of the lighthouse bureau. with offices
in Detroit, recommended that a light
be placed at Sand Hills point, four
miles west of Eagle river, on Lake
Superior, and amidst the dangerous
reefs that line that shore. The mat
ter was presented to congress. Moth
ing ever came of ii. There was at the
time small light at Eagle river. Since
then IL has been abolished and the
nearest light to Sawtooth and other
dangerous reefs is the one at Eagle
Harbor.
In recent years. according to the re-
port of the lighthouse bureau. about
10 vessels have stranded in the near
vicinity of sand Hills point. and al
though no lives have been lost, prop
| erty valued at $1,000, 900 has been de-
stroyed, including the steamer w G.
i Moreland, which was lost in 1910 on
her maiden trip. Vessels are still
menaced, the report recites, because of
no light there. Just now there is be-
fore congress a recommendation for a
fourth class light at Sand Hills. YES
selmen are hoping that it will meet
with favorable action.
That particular shore of Superior
has become a jinX to sailors, accord
ing to vesselmen. II is feared greatly
and especially in times of fog or
storm. There is nothing to warn mas
ters of impending danger, and. as a
rule they are astraddle reef before
| they realize their danger.
Two weeks ago the steamer George
| +. Baker climbed on Sawtooth reef. and
| only the promptness of Captain Alex
Cunning, with the wrecking tug Favor
lite. saved her from the fate of the
| Moreland and others. 1t was the first
| accident there in some time. but ii re-
newed expressions of wonder among
vessel masters as to why a light has
not been placed i'm that vicinity, wher
they have been distributed so plenti-
fully in other parts of the great lakes
| The failure OF the govrnment to plac,
a light at Sand Hills or some Other
point i'm that section may result in tn,
Lake Carriers association being peti.
toned by vessel masters to seek il.
installation. Many mariners have ex.
pressed wonder as to why the LAX,
Carriers have not pushed the matter i,
the past.
| The majority of the vessels which
have stranded in that vicinity hav,
| been downbound craft, and, as tn,
desired light would be four miles ives
Of Eagle river the downbounder:
wound be warned four miles from tn,
reefs. Eagle Har'bor light guides tn,
upbound boats. A fourth-class light
such as has been asked. is of from
5000 to 10000 candle power.

NEW FIRE ARRANGEMENT.
II Firemen Are Paid for Every Alarm,
Florida May Be Affected.

In the consideration of the applica-
ton of the members OF the Laurium
fire department for an increase in the
monthly allowance OF members, which
was granted at the last regular meet
ing. the suggestion was made that II
might he a good policy to pay the
members Of the company on the basis
of the number Of alarms each member
responds to. and it is possible this
threshed out. The contention of the
council members who made this sug-
gestion is that there are a number Of
members of the department who re-
spond and give service in from ninety
to one hundred per cent. of the fires,
whereas a few other members render
duty on only about fifty per cent. #
the fires. The payment of firemen on
the basis of the number of alarms re-
sponded to would insure fair treat
ment of every member and probably
would increase the efficiency of the
department by providing an induce
ment for every firemen To respond to
every alarm.
If this plan should be adopted. how
ever, the question naturally would
arise as TO what action should be talk
en- in the case of fires In Florida loca-
ton. 1t would hardly be fair to expect
the village to pay Laurium fircmen for
service in Florida location, with no
reciprocal arrangement in effect
whereby Florida might bear part of
the brunt of expense.
Florida location, which is a part OF
Calumet township, has long enjoyed
fire protection at practically no cost,
and in view of the fact that the sug-
gestion frequently made that t1oridl
petition for admittance into the viii
lage, has never been acted upon. it is
pretty certain the village would de-
cline to render further service in the
matter OF fighting fires unless Florida
residents would be willing to pay for
such service.
At present there is little incentive
for action on this matter because If
the fact the village is put to practical
~ no extra expense i'm responding tn
Florida alarms the fremen being paid
on the yearly basis. The new plan.
however. is being given serious con-
sideration by several council members,
and il would not he surprising if the
question were revived during the COM
ing summer.

NO TARVIA THIS YEAR.

Because of the cost of the improv =
ment projects planned for the coming
summer and the small margin allowed
in the general fund for other addition
al expenses. il is improbable there will
be any large expenditure this year for
tarvia, To be used as u road binder.
Although several of the streets would
be benefited by this treatment and
probably have their dura Dility increas-
ed the council does not desire To incur
any Indebtedness in this direction.

TO ASSUME
LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENTS
FOR TOWN HALL
CHANGES WILL BE CLOSED
THIS EVENING.

There will be a special meeting OF
the Laurium council at $3.50 o'clock
this evening 10 close the contracts with
the firm of Vairo and Chatel for the
remodelling of the town hall building,
1t is planned to start work early next
week.
The contract. which has been draft
ed I'm accordance with the terms agreed
upon when the bid of the contracts was
approved, provided that the work
shall be completed within ninety days
and also specifies bonds which the
contractors must execute binding them
to the faithful performance of their
agreement.
A rather interesting feature of the
contract to be closed this evening. is
a clause which eempts the village from
all liability for accident in the carry
though, of course, there is no more
danger of accident in work of this
kind than there is in any other build
ing work, the inserting Of this clause
simply indicates that care that is ex-
ercised in taking into consideration
all possible contingencies.
When the work is started. it is prob
able, ii will be necessary to establish
temporary quarters in some other
building for the clerk. The quarters
have not been selected so far. 1t will
be unnecessary to provide new quar-
tiers for the fire department.

body of peasants. assembled at the lit

and independent nation. For more than
four hundred years previous to that
time Norway had been a province Dr
dependency of Denmark. Then, under
the treaty of Kiel, Norway was turn

mediately the Norwegians had declared
their independence Sweden prepared to
take the country by force of arms. Sew
eral minor skirmishes took place be-

but before any battle had been fought
an agreement was reached which pro
vided that the two countries should
form n union under one king. BY this
agreement Norway was to retain her
