Michigan being a timbered sta,e,
her development along agricultural
lines was necessarily slower than
some of her sister states farther west
that were of the prairie variety and.
consequently, could be developed into
farms at less expense than the forest
areas of the Wolverine state. This,
added 10 the fact that in the early
days there was no market for the for
est products of southern Michigan.
and the timber was only cut as fast
as the lands could be converted into
wheat fields, made the progress of de-
velopment somewhat slow.
The lumber industry, which has
held the center of the stage in Michi-
gan for so many years, las gradually
moved northward and it's operations
have been so complete that there is
now comparatively little timber left
for further operations. The result of
this is that the lumberman is seeking
new fields and the men whose fathers
and grandfathers spent their lives in
the woods and saw mills are now
turning their attention to a vocation
comparatively new to them, agricul-
ture and the development OF the thou
sands of acres of land left in the pass
ing Of the lumberman.
While other states have been adver-
Using their opportunities and posi-
bilities, Michigan has stood still in
this respect and permitted the west
ern states and northwestern Canada,
not only to taEe the prospective set
tier from New York, Ohio and else
where, who would make good and be-
come a real asset to the state, but has
permitted the taking away Of her own
men whom she needs for the develop
ment of her own lands. The railroads
too being interested in the long haul
of the settler from the East to the
Pacific coast, have done their part in
the development of the West, the re-
suit of this being the passing by and
through Michigan from the East to
the West anL the goins out of Michi-
gan to the West of thousands of good
men who would gladly have come. or
remained. in Michigan, and assisted
in the development of her lands, had
Michigan's opportunities and possibil.
tiles only been brought to their atten-
| ton.
Lakes and River Systems.
The lakes of Michigan are as es-
sential to it's individuality as the
ocean and the North sea to the Brit
ish isles. They are its highway, its
fishing ground and its source of sup
ply OF pure water for city use. They
equalize the temperatures; furnish a
large number Of improved harbors and
sites for more than a hundred sum
mer resorts.
The total, area of the Great Lakes
is "a, $50 square miles, with Lake Su-
perlor, the largest, having an area of
31,s00 square miles; Lake Michigan

he Great Lakes furnish the state
about 500 miles of shore line or one
mile of coast to 33 square miles of
land surface, and so wrap around the
peninsula that no point in the state is
more than So miles distant from the
shore. On these lakes there are 81
government improved natural harbors,
six more than have been improved at
local expense and more than 100 miles
of deep, narrow bays and $50 miles
of rivers and straits, most of which
facilities. The harbors are well dis
tributed in the state as is shown by
the fact that there are ninety-one
places where the different railroads
touch the shore line.
The Great Lakes furnish Michigan
with the greatest inland waterway in
the world, and in addition to the numer-
Gus fleets of passenger boats and car
ferries that ply these lakes, their sur
faces during most months OF the year
are literally dotted with freighters
and packet vessels carrying Michi-
gan's products not alone to our home
markets but to the great markets out
side of Michigan which are brought
within easy reach by our splendid rail-
and water transportation facilities.
Great Lakes Fisheries.
Mention should also be made Of the
extent of the great fisheries afforded
Michigan by the Great Lakes. AS has
been stated, the shore line OF the
state on the Great Lakes is about l.
600 miles and affords the state won
derful fishing ground. 1t is estimated
that there are set, all through the fish
ing season, over $500 pond nets with
a total length of 500 miles; over g.
900 miles of gill nets, besides large
number of seines and other nets. and
that it requires between six and seven
| thousand men to attend to these nets.
The annual catch is about 100000
pounds. A large part of the catch is
from Lakes Huron and Michigan. The
total value of the fish taken from
! Michigan waters is about one-twen-
tieth that of the national fisheries. In
addition to the Great Lakes, there
are more than 5000 inland lakes,
most of which are filed with fish.
and many of these lakes are highly de-
sirable for summer resorts.
Rivers.
The peninsular form of the state
gives it an unusually large number of
streams with relatively short courses.
These rivers gather up the brilliantly
clear, cold waters of tens of thou
sands of springs and thousands of
lakes and hundreds of square miles
Of swamp lands, and flow over gravel
or sand. through relatively shallow,
long and narrow valleys for the most
part in winding courses to land-locked
bays of the Great Lakes. Apart from
the 1875 miles of straitlike rivers, De.

CORPORATIONS FEEL
HIGH ASSESSMENTS
MADE BY ASSESSORS

In a conference with County Assess
poration assessor for fifteen townships
in Wayne county said the corporations
are being assessed at a higher figure
this year. He said he had completed
all big corporations except the Rich
mond City Water Works company and
the National Automatic Tool Works.
A few small corporations have not
been assessed. The water works COM
pany will file an inventory with the
public utilities commission of Indiana
from which the assessment will be
made.
Mr. Mathews said the real estate
assessments in the country are caus-
ing trouble. Higher assessments have
been conscientiously made by the
assessors and as a result the farmers
are objecting strenuously, declaring
the farms have not increased in value
in proportion to the assessments.
Center Increases.
In Center township, some Of the
farm land has been assessed fifteen
per cent higher than last year In
all townships where increases were
made over the heads of assessors last
year on personal property, care is be-
ing taken by the assessors to see that
such action is not taken on farm land
this year, showing the value of such
action on the part of the board of re-
view as an example to assessors, Mr..
Mathews said.
Personal property Is not showing an
increase this year. Mr.. Mathews said.
IF this is the case, do not believe
1t is fair to Richmond" Mr.. Deetz said.
The assessments are being increased
this year, in this city"

ENDOWED PAPERS FROM PRINTING ADS Georgia Newspaper Cannot Print Legal Advertise
 ments of l.. & N.

Cartersviile, Ga, December 29-A tenn porary injunction restraining three Geor- gia newspapers from publishing legal ad- vertisements of the intention of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to build branch line from here to Marietta Ga. was granted the state of Georgia by Judge A. W. Fite in superior court here today. The papers enjoined are the Marietta Journal, Cartersville News and Cherokee Advance. The injunction is
 made returnable January 31 1916. The proposed branch line would parallel the Western and Atlantic railroad. state owned line, now under lease to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, a subsidiar yof the Louisville and Nashville. The lease expires in 1919. and a commission has been appointed by the legislature to release the state road At the last regular session of the legis- lature law was passed prohibiting the secretary of state from issuing charter to any railroad to parallel the Western and Atlantic.
 Publication of the legal advertisements necessary before the charter of the At
 lanta. Knoxville and Northern railroad. which is owned by the Louisville and Nashville, can be amended to allow the building of the branch line was started three weeks ago. The state law requires publication for four consecutive weeks. It is alleged in the petition that the Louisville and Nashville planned to cir cumvent the law forbdding the parallel ing of the Western and Atlantic by talk ing advantage of another law permitting ainy railroad to build branch line if it first advertises it's purpose for four con secutive weeks

SWAN SEES ORDNANCE PLANT

Theodore Swan, vice president of the AnnIston Ordnance company, made a hur- ried trip to Anniston Wednesday to in- spect the plant, and in an interview said the work was progressing even beyond the most sanguine expectations of the ex- ecutives of the company
 We now have about 200 men at work. '' said Mir Swan, and will be ready to com mence the manufacture of shells on the first order by February, at least a month before the time specified in our contract.
 The 200 men now employed at the plant include number of high-salaried ma chinists, draughtsmen and pattern makers, who will make Anniston their permanent home, and will move their fam liles here as soon as they can find suit able dwellings. The sudden thrush of so many people has crowded all the boarding houses and rooming houses in the city. and has started noticea ble building &C., tivity.

PROSPERITY
 RETURNS TO
 THE SOUTH TOBACCO SALES SHOW IT

There are many signs of returning pros pcrity throughout the southern states. Southerners have more money to spend. and are spending it, which is one of the surest signs. When the smokers of the south start in buying more tobacco, month after month, it is pretty sure indica : tion that they have more money to spend each month. Here is one brand ofstobacco, Tuxedo, that has increased 145 per cent in it's southern sales during the past five months. This increase has been progress sive, showing larger percentage of gain each succeeding month, and Tuxedo sales are still going up.
 Tobacco sales show the general upward trend of business in the south. While not as accurate a gauge as cotton or steel, the fact remains that men do not in- crease their smoking expenditure unless they are making money.-Adv.

NO SERIOUS REVOLT AGAINST MONARCHY American Minister to China Reports on Recent
 Uprisings

Washington. December 29,-American Minister Reinsch, at Picking, cabled the state department today that recent up risings against Yuan Shi-Kai and the re- turn to monarchal government in China were not considered at the present time as constituting a serious political situa- ton in that country.
 A paraphrase of the dispatch given out by the department says;
 ''The opposition movement is confined to the province of Yunnan. Other prov inces in the south of China are entirely quiet If the movement should spread, hokever, it is not anticipated that there will be any danger to foreign life and property nor that business will be dis turbed. On the contrary, special protec- ton is assured to foreigners and their interests by declaration of the Yunnan leaders,
 Press dispatches from Picking during the last few days have said that the revo-
