OSTERBERC IS
new SUPERVISOR
COUNCIL APPOINTED HIM TO FILL
VACANCY MADE BY DEATH
Matter of Raising Funds to Tide
Over the Fall win Come up After
Taxes are Raised

The principal work OF the council
at its meeting held last Monday was to
fill the vacancy made vacant on the
county board by the death of John
Dawson. Mr.. Dawson was chosen su-
pervisor last spring and the duty of
filling the vacancy devoloved upon the
council.
Several names had been proposed
and Mayor Munns made an investiga-
tion before any name was brought mp
in the council. He found that OF all the
names proposed, that OF Viano Oster-
berg was the only one that would meet
no opposition and in the light of har-
mony the mayor brought what in
fiuence he had to bear upon the coun-
ell not 10 split over so unimportant a
matter as a supervisor at this time
when tits so necessary that every
thing be in harmony.
On vote being taken Mr.. OsteI berg
received the unanimous vote and will
take his place on the county board at
its first session in September.
Mr. osterberg has held but one other
Office. that OF alderman from the third
ward. a position he held for two years
and refused to seek IL again. He is. at
the head OF the firm OF Osterberg & Co.
and is well liked by everyone in the
city.
Free Lights Being Discussion
Alderman Miesler brought up mat
ter that was considerable of surprise
to the aldermen and mayor. Where II
had It's origin no one seems TO know
but II is certain that II dates away
back tothe days now passed into an
cient history.
The matter concerned the giving OF
free lights TO city officials. Mr.. Mlesler
claimed that Messrs Sanders, Haley
and Gribble were not paying for their
lights. Mr.. Gribble was asked II that
was the fact ana lie replleu tnat IL
was; that the custom had been in vogue
right along and that he had only been
following precedent In not collecting
the light fee at this time.
This was information to the mem
bers OF the council for not one of them
knew that any city officer was re-
ceiving free lights and 1t took but a
short time to have orders issued to the
city clerk to collect light and water
fees from every person in the city or
out OF the city who receives lights ir-
respective Of who he is or what his po-
sition is; that the policy OF the city is
to pay its employees for what they do

The people OF Mackinac county have.
recognized the Importance OF their
county to the people OF the two penin-
sulas and instead of sitting down and
barring progress. they have taken UP
the burden and are making heroic.
strides to put their house in order.
Mackinac county has an assessed
valuation OF trifie over eight million
Baraga county has a valuation OF
seven and one-half million so that as
far as richness is concerned. these two.
counties are on a par But. Baraga
county has possibilities in the mineral
line that Mackinac has not. Mackinac,
has only its timber and IT'S soil TO de-
pend upon.
The road mileage OF the two counties
is not to be compai ed On account OF
its position and shape Long ana mar
row-it has a mileage of over 1Oomiies
OF trunk line while Baraga county has
but the north and south and the east
and west lines to build SO for the pur
pose OF comparison. the task Of Mack
inaw county is large compared With
that OF Baraga.

But. there is a different spirit IN
evidence IN Mackinac county. There
are lot Of men at the head OF affairs
In that county that can see ahead.
They are men that have money invest
ed in the county and expect TO make
that section their home. They can SEQ.
that the timber is rapidly being cut
of and the proceeds taken 10 amass
wealth for the foreign owners in lower
Michigan and other places They cam
see that In a comparatively short time,
they will have nothing but denudedF
lands TO rely upon: lands from which,
the owners have taken the profits and
unless some of these profits are di.-
verted into good roads for the people
that are 10 remain after the timber isr
gone these people will entirely escape,
their share OF this road burden
MackInac h a great summer resort
country, another advantage that will
be developed greatly by the building OF
good roads but the big advantage or
the county and especially OF the city
OF ST Ignace with IT'S fine hotels iss
the fact that every tourist must stop,
IN the city while, When ST. Ignace IA
reached the tourist must ferry his car
across 10 Mackinac City and IL gener.
ally means night IN the city for the.
hotels Of 81. Ignace are fine ones.
This Is m advantage that IA not had
by any other town In the upper PENN
sula with the possible exception OF the
towns az the Keweenaw end OF the,
copper peninsula where the tourist
must stop or turn hack. Even there
The tourist may double back 10 Hough-

Another soft drink" proprietor
was standing in his window when he
noticed a lot OF commotion on the
street
Guess there's something doing In
this town. said he. and l better go
home so he picked up his satcheI and
sauntered away to his home. When his
place was raided nothing was found.
One automobile owner is said 10 have
beaten the Chicago speeding record in
his effort TO get to Palatka
One OF the officers OF the Welfare
Association says that II the telephone
wires had been cut for half an hour
the entire county would have been
raided.
Crystal Falls did some hustling. so
we are told. A telephone message
warned those liable to be caught over
here in very few minutes after the
raid started at Iron River.

IN EASTERN U. P.
MACkINAC COUNTY CONSPICUOUS
I EXAMPLE or PROGRESSION
REPR'NTATIvE MEN At HEAD
Counties Not Afraid to Bond When
Results Are in Evidence Should
Connect With W. Mich. Pike

The great amount of Discussion
aroused over the Baraga road PROPOSE
tion has rather focused the attention
OF the upper peninsula upon road work
I'm the west end OF the peninsula. One
would be lead TO think from the much
that has been written about the Dads
leading to the Baraga line In Irons
Houghton, Marquette, Gogebic and On
tonagon that the big bulk of road con-
struction in the upper peninsula Is
concentrated in that section.
The counties mentioned are all COM
paratively wealthy when put In con-
trast with Schoolcraft, Mackinacs
Luce. Chippewa and Delta. Even Bar
aga, which is putting up poor mouth,
has mineral wealth that is In its in
fancy and timber wealth that has hare
ly been touched when compared withl
Mackinac. for instance. Yet Mackinac:
county is spending 100000 today on
its roads and is talking of spending
another 100000 next year so that the
connecting link between the upper and
lower peninsula may be made. Unless
Mackinac county moves. all the Efforts
OF the rest of the peninsula and OF the
southern peninsula to get connected
are in vain for Mackinac county
stretches along the lake east and east
OF the straits OF Mackinac for many
miles. Her position in regard to the
upper and lower peninsula is some
thing like that OF Baraga and the cop
per and iron country ashe is the con-
meeting link. fN

This market exhibited no new ten dencies during the current week. Hes-s itancy is still its chief feature. Money continues easy and promises to so re- main. Gold persists in flowing in this direction, although not wanted. Fur ther sums have arrived from Ottawa and elsewhere, and indications are that more will follow, this being a safer and more convenient depository for treasure than some of the foreign markets. Trade at home continues quiet, though slowly improving. The steel industry shows moderate sactiv- 1ty, chiefly owing to foreign orders, for war supplies. Railroad f1e shows some. improvement and few systems are making better reports than a. month or two ago, net results occa- sionally being even more satisfactory encouraging, reports of damage to ated: Farmers are -~+ting good prices. cotton is satisfactory though late, and acreage promises prove larger than expected. The condition of the fruit crop is uniformly excellent over the entire Country. In brief, the domestic situation it not only fairly satisfac- tory but distinctly encouraging; and, were it not for the disturbing effects of the war the stock market would nquestionably be rehecting the more hopeful state of home business. This market, however, is still dominated by
 war, and prices must be expected to fuctuate in accordance with the daily happenings within the zone of hostih- ties.
