Munising, Mich, Sept 30.-Active
logging operations in what may be the
last tract OF White and Norway pine
In Cloverland or the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan, brings back TO memory
the extensive numbering trade which,
but few years ago, led the output
of products from this territory.
The Munising company of this city
today is actively engaged in the tract
OF pine which was purchased by the
present owners from the Olds Lum-
Der company of Cheboygan last year
II is estimated that there are eight
million feet in this tract which is To-
Gated in Marquette county. About
one-tenth Of this output has been cut.

farming. In 1880. when the Federal
government took a portion OF land
from the southern-most end OF Michi-
gan aud gave Il TO Ohio, in the mean
time Offering the territory Of Michi-
gan the northern peninsula. there
was much opposition.
Troops we're called out and sent to
tile Ohio border line to prevent the
move. In addition Michigan people
refused TO accept the worthless
lands in the north and as result
remained out of the union for several
years
AS time has advanced and as cop
per. iron and numbering has increased
here along with industrial trade so
farming has grown. Owing TO the
proximity TO markets, fine lake and
rail shipping facilities and a good
growing climate, Cloverland has come

Wayne county. 1t now boasts of one
third the total area of the state, has
population greater than Delaware.
Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona. Nevada or
New Mexico and has an assessed val
uation of more than seventeen states
in the union.
Recent proof of the change from
numbering to farming and its subsi-
diary lines is shown in the report
that 10000 acres OF cut-over lands
have been sold to Chicago cattlemen
for the purpose Of cattle raising. The
growth of clover alfalfa and grasses
have come to the attention of cattle
and dairy people with the result that
there are today many persons and
firms raising cattle for market or
carrying on extensive dairying opera
tons here The excellent growing
season for vegetation, the high grade
soils, the cool evenings and the prox-
unity to markets are given as the
reasons for cattle men and dairying
folk coming to Cloverland.

For sixty-six years logging has
been active here in Cloverland II
was in 1850 that operations were first
/ begun in Menominee county, the coun-
ty to the sothern-most part OF Clo-
verland. Through untiring efforts
the Wells and Stephenson families
built up great fortunes and even to-
day are extensive holders in the
hardwood forests which still bedeck
this upper peninsula in huge proper
tions.
II was in that decade from 1910 to
1850 that iron, copper and numbering
were discovered" in Cloyerland.
First came copper up in Keweenaw
and Houghton counties. This dis
covery was made by Il. J. Hurlbut
shortly after the Chippewa Indians
coded the lands to the United States
in 1s43. Hurlbut heard great stories
OF copper discoveries and began pros
pecting
One day when nearly discouraged
he saw a wild pig boring about in n
hollow. He went forward as the hog
reiterated and found that the porker
had been nosing about large chunks
of copper. As the result Of this pig
there stands now over this famous
spot the shaft house of the Calumet
4 Hecla mine, which recently cele-
brated its golden anniversary.
Two years later came to discover
iron ore in the central part of what
Is now Cloverland with the result
that iron mines are found in large
numbers One-siXth Of all the cop
per mined in the United States and
one-third Of the iron ore dug from the
bowels of the earth come from Clio
yerland
Shortly after this, or in 1850, came
the first numbering industry In the
southern part OF the peninsula As
time went by these three industries
grew to great proportions. The fact
that Cloverland is surrounded by
an estimate OF 1000 miles OF shore
line. that natural harhors are to be
found almost anywhere on Lakes Su-
perior. Huron and Michigan shores
and that II is traversed in all corners
by railroads TO such an extent that
the peninsula claims more mileage
than fifteen states in the union have
brought industrial happiness to the
people
While the mining operations have
gone on increasing each year and
while plants which need the raw pro-
ducts have been coming into this
cloyerland in order to save freight
charges, the numbering industry has
been on gradual decline and the
sawmills have been vacated one by
one.

During the early years only pines
were cut so that most OF the forests
are being gone over the second time
in order to get the hardwoods. this
has resulted in the last few years
with the re-opening OF some OF the
mills.
As the lumber has disappeared new
forests have sprung up so that tn,

in large proportions for many NOR,

SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING.
How Danger Of Being Struck May BE
MinimiZed.

No one is free from the terror of
thunder and lightning. Lightning
will strike more than once in the
same place. The fash of lightning
is what sends its bolt to the earth
The thunder is only the noise and by
the time that is heard the danger is
past The sigzag fash is the danger
GUS kind, and il strikes SO swiftly It
cannot be avoided by flight The des-
truction caused by the lightning is
made in its rush to connect with the
earth II distractions are non-con-
ductors the havoc is great, but, il
conductors, such as lightning rods,
are provided and properly grounded
the danger to property or life is
slight.
While standing in the open is often
dangerous, it is still more dangerous
To stand beneath single tree in a
thunder storm During the early
part OF this year statistics of the
kinds of trees most often struck by
lightning have been gathered in Ger
many and reported by the United
States consul in commerce reports
II was found the percentage of times
the different variety OF trees were
struck was: Oak, 321; larch, 9.5;
fir. 3.S; pine, Is: scotch fir, 8; birch
and alder not at all From this in
vestigation 1t would appear that dur
ing a storm it would be dangerous to
take shelter under an oak, while one
would be comparatively safe under
an alder though IL affords slight pro-
lection from rain The birch. beech
and pine are within slight percentage
OF safety
The character OF the soil is an inn
portant factor, as trees growing in
moist soil or near water are exposed
to danger OF lightning. Trees with
deep roots are more often struck than
those with shallow roots For this
reason. apple trees are said TO be
more often struck than pear trees in
the same orchard IL is also said the
poplar is more often struck than the
oak, elm, ash, gum and pear tree
The least attractive TO lightning are
the beech. chestnut. maple. alder and
mountain ash. Between these groups
are the apple, cherry. linden and wal
nut During a storm. avoid a single
tree IL possible, as a grove OF all
varieties OF trees would be compare
lively safe. During a storm. remain
away from oak. poplar. pine. willow.
elm and pear trees. II is not always
an easy thing TO go about selecting
a lightning proof tree when one is
caught in sudden storm.
While at a dinner in Depere some
years ago. Judge Miller had for his
companion a man who was describ-
ing how he took refuge under a tree
during a drenching rain with thunder
and lightning and his fright as he ex-
pected every moment the tree would
be struck when Judge Miller ex-
