PETOSkEY Mich, Feb. 2S.-The
State Pioneer and Historical society
got a jolt when Archbold Buttars of
CharlevoiX. oldest pioneer OF north
ern Michigan, in a speech before the
society, declared that the Marquette
trail is only a myth.
Mr.. Guitars said when he came TO
PetOskey the trail. which is now
marked by a handsome boulder, was
nowhere to be seen. The only path
used by the Indians was a trail along
the waters edge. he said Father
Marquette. if he ever traversed the
spot marked by the boulder. did so
in the latter part of the 18th century
and the trail was never known as
the Marquette trail until so named
by Capt. II. O. Rose. about 90 years
ago.
Judge Pailthorpe shattered an
other suppOsition when he said there
had been established a saw and grist
mill at McGulpin's Point, near Mack
NAV City. in 1872 or 1900. and a
land grant of 500 acres given by the
government at Patrick McGulpin. IL

Persons going on their vacations
take a delight in 'roughing it. They
try 10 get back 10 nature by doing
away with many of the luxuries of
civilization and frequently go TO the
extreme of doing away with the es-
sentials OF sanitation. They take
their supply of water from a shallow
well of unknown quality. The sur
roundings of this well may be Of the
very worst Occasionally, instead Of
a water supply from a well, lake
water is used. The same lake is
used TO battle in and sometimes as
a sewer outlet.
The cottagers are not the only
lax ones in the essentials Of santa
ton. Frequently the hotel operators
are to blame Some Of the hotels
take their water supply from the
lake where sewage is disposed Of.
Under such conditions it is not sur
prising that patrons of the hotel
who drink the water contract ty-
phoid."
