County Drain Commissioner Emil
Hoethke Yesterday received the decision

by Commissioner Roethke on the Lamb
Creek drain. The decision made by the
state highway commissioner following

situation between this county and Shia.

cent for Commissioner Roethke over
the percentage which the Shiawassee
commissioner would agree to stand.
At meeting held several months ago
between the commissioners of the two
counties, the Shiawassee county com.
missioner would agree to accept only
20 per cent of the cost of the drain.
Commissioner Roethke refused to ac.
cept this division and Immediately ap.
pealed to the state highway commits
sioner, whose opinion was received
Yesterday.
The Lamb Creek drain as proposed
will follow a natural creek bottom and
will be among the most costly drains
of the county. 1t will be about -
miles in length, with a 16 and IA foot
bottom and depth of eight and nine
feet One of the mcst costly items of its
construction will be the bridges, there
being 10 on the drain. Five of these
bridges will have to be newly con-
structed and the remaining ten, which
are now on the creek, will have to be
rebuilt and enlarged.
One of the unusual features cf the
situation is that the adjoining county
will be taxed 20 per cent of the cost of
the drain though only 80 rods of the
drain will be in that county. and this
30 rods will require no bridges The |
fact that large part of the water to be
taken care of by the drain will be Shia.

According to the state drain law
here can be no appeal from the deci-

Pave to D. & M. Only.

Commissioner Hanscom has decided
to pave Washington street from the
bridge to the Grand Trunk tracks only
this year. The shortage of labor for
this kind of work, particularly at this
time of tie year, and the high cost of
materials makes it seem wise to wait
until next year to pave south of the
tracks.

quite one sided affair A description
of the game would probably throw
too much light on the errors and
poor stick work of the Morenci team
and since it is practically their first
appearance on the field this year, big
allowances must be made for their
lack of practice. "Old Man Gump"
with his companionable hammer may
be useful in connection with a paid
team, but where all are playing for
their own amusement as well, it is bet
ter to encourage rather than give
them the nobody home sign. With
probably few adjustments the Morenci
team ought to be made into a strong
one with the many old faces back on
the field again, and without doubt
Captain Stanley will give the Clifton
bunch a better run for their money
the next time bats are crossed. One
of the old men back on the team
again is George Evans whose work
with the stick paved the way for sew
eral runs After the first inning, it
was a good game and the boys de-
serve credit for the finish they put to
it. A crowd puts enthusiasm into
the game and it is sincerely hoped
the fans will continue to give the
team the needed support that will
eventually mean fast and winning
team Billy O'Brien, the old time
second baseman for Morenci, was in
the field again but in the position of

Continued warm weather during the
past week has caused the general pub
lie in Morenci to lose considerable
pep" during the day, but the cooling
evening breezes combined with
nightly visit at the moving pictures
has kept nearly every one in an AMIGA

ing week a number Of excellent pic
lures are billed at the Morenci Club.
On Monday evening Maclyn Arbuckle

shown, while on Tuesday evening
the twelfth episode in The Strange
Case of Mary Page" and the unusual
news picture will be the attractions.

"a thing worth doing is worth doing
WE'LL and this old adage was certainly
followed out to the last letter on
last Sunday afternoon when Peter
Riley's ball team from Clifton trounc-
ed the local aggregation to the tune
of II to 4. Before one of the largest
crowds seen in the grand stand for
some time the game started promptly
at 2:3O with Davis and Mason battery
for Morenci. When the first inning
closed nine big scores stood to the
credit of Clifton and the Morenci boys
started on their up hill work to
overcome the big lead. In the second
inning a change of pitchers was made
and the boys steadied down to better
playing. Wash Mclean tried to start
a batting rally by knocking a beauti-
full home run over the fence far in
the field but no Roadway was made
until the ninth inning when Morenci
garnered three more runs. Clifton
had annexed eight more to their score
in the meantime and the game closed

The Kaiser.


Regardless OF war sympathies or neutral
mindedness. no one conversant With history can
but marvel at the one towering figure Of this
stirring world drama, Emperor William H. Of
Germany, who today celebrates bis 57th birth
day. Friend and foe alike recognize in him the
most potent and virile representative Of the
Hohenzollern house from It's founder down the
long ilustrious line. And. however his influence
may in the end be measured by impartial judges.
HIS limitiess command OF the enthusiastic devo-
ton Of his people is not to be gainssid.
without deprecating what was accomplished
before his accession, the Germany Of today,
which is the wonder Of the world. is the product
OF the policies OF william I-of the man
who, scarcely emerged from boyhood, assembled
the throne amidst the fears and trepidations Of
his elders and today at 81 has ell Europe daily
watching his next move with bated breath, and
the united German people. one and all, ready to
make any sacrifice for the glory Of their country
as typified by its imperial ruler. What the flu
ture still has in store for the kaiser no one can
tell, but the great scroll is bound to carry his
name in big letters for all eternity.
