WILSON THE VOTERS CHOICE

Robert Wilson, OF this city, was
nominated for Sheriff on the Repub-
lican Ticket. at the Primaries last
Tuesday. bob. as he is usually
called, has been a resident OF the
County for more than quarter OF a
century and has won the respect and
good will OF every one. BY strictly
attending TO his own business; by
hard work and careful management,
he has made many friends on both
sides OF this county. Mr.. Wilson never
sought public Office until four years
ago when he ran against Sheriff Sen
siba. making nice showing at that
time. He was afterwards appointed
Deputy Game Warden by the Board OF
Supervisors, and the splendid work In
that Office proved his qualifications
for this. He pursued the dynamiters
of fish and the slayers Of robins and
song birds so relentlessly that these
assassins gave up their nefarious
work; he has driven the violators OF
the Game Laws from the woods, the
lakes and the streams, and has made
Iron County the best game preserve
in the State. Mr.. Wilson is a high,
broad minded citizen, clean in habits
and in speech; n good neighbor and
kind friend. and we predict his cleo
ton in November by an overwhelm-
ing majority. We congratulate the
people OF the County in their selection
of a man that cannot be fooled. ca
joied or frightened from performing
the duties OF this most important Of
fee.

Lansing was officially notified this
week OF an important change in the
duck shooting laws OF the United
States.
The notification Is OF an act OF con-
gress which became operative August
Is.
Duck will not be huntable in Mich
igan September /, as the state laws
permit and as nearly all duck hunters
EXPECT. Instead. Il will not be lawful
10 hunt duck until September 10. The
seasons end will remain the same so
far as Michigan is concerned. Decem-
Der Is.
The new federal law makes the
omen season September Is to Decem-
Der 81, but at the same time provides
that where a state law closes the sea-
son earlier than December 81, the
state law shall govern.
The change of the federal law
comes after a series OF changes by
congress as TO migratory BIRDS all of
which, with the exception OF this last
one. Michigan has followed with
statutes OF her own. The 1915 legis-
lature changed the date of the open
season from September Is to Septem-
Der 1, because congress changed the
federal law. Now congress has chang
ed back to the old Michigan date once
more.
The new federal law includes duck,
coots, gallinules and all short birds
and water fowl with the exception OF
ployer and woodduck. The latter can
not be hunted legally until 1919.

A motion picture car showing In
dustrial. agricultural and power pos
abilities in Cloverland; an automo-
bile for the secretary manager and
stronger link OF friendship between
u. people and Upper Peninsula
DEVELOPMENT bureau are the three
great results obtained during the
meeting of the organization at Es-
CANADA on Saturday.
The suggestion of Senator Alton I.
Roberts OF Marquette that the Bureau
purchase a motion picture machine
brought about the suggestion that the
bureau cooperate with the different
railroads which traverse Cloverland
in order that a car be fitted up as
a motion picture house and taken
through different states where pros
pective settlers might view the won
derful possibilities there.
To Probe Plan.
Mayor NJ. B. Lloyd OF Menominee
NJ. r. Beurmann OF Newberry and A.
+. Roberts of Marquette were named
as a committee Of three TO cooper
ate with President Harmon and Sec
rotary Rowell In working out this
motion picture plan.
r. w. Reade, r. p Bronson of Ish-
peming and A. + Roberts Of Mar
quette were named on a committee
for the purchasing OF an automobile
FOR the Bureau. II was decided by a
unanimous vote that the value Of the
manager to the bureau would be in
creased many fold through the pur-
chase OF machine.
To Protect Settlers
Another most important matter TAX
en- up during the meeting was action
favoring the drawing up OF a bill for
the state Legislature prohibiting the
sale OF worthless lands TO unsuspect-
ing settlers. 1t was argued that Glow
erland should take the lead in this
constructive legislation in order IL
might lead all other sections OF this
country in trying to give the settler
the sduarest possible deal.
RIP. Bronson. j. T. MacNamara OF
Houghton. and H. W. Reade OF Esca-
naha were named on this committee,
They will draw up bill and Glow
erIand legislator will present A al
The next session. II is held that this
move on the part OF Cloverland land
dealers will prove big aid to them
In securing settlers.
Discuss New Features
The executive session OF the bureau
was held In the city hall during the
morning. President Harmon greeted
the officers and then announced the
new features which the bureau should
take up
A detailed report OF what has been
done since he took charge OF the az
fairs OF the once and his plans FOL
the future were announced by Geo
w. Roweii, Jr.. of Marquette. He In
formed the directors that more than

bee sent out since he took charge
on July 70. He told OF different meth.

much through the placing OF super
visors on the executive committee
and added that he believed II would

WILL NEED CARS AFTER WAR

Will be taxed to the fullest capacity

dent OF Ben-Hur Motor Company. They
will supply devastated Europe with

show that the average life OF a motor
car on the firing line is but a few weeks
at the most. All of the best motor cars
have been Communicated by the different
,ountries at war. leaving only the mos
decrepit and ramshackle vehicles for
taxicab purposes In the different cities.
"Not only auto trucks are used by the
thousands for transporting army sup
plies but all manner Of passenger cars
are In constant demand for the move
ment OF officers and men from point
to point. recommending purposes, &c.
Horses as we'll as automobiles are being
destroyed by the thousands week In and
week out, and when peace comes II will
find European countries practically
stripped OF means OF transportation.
THE railroads will be practically
wiped out In some sections. while burned
and blasted bridges will take months
and even years to reconstruct. The
American automobile will be counted on

tion facilities and a stupendous number
will be required for export. European
automobile plants have been turned
into munition factories. and even at
their utmost capacity before hostilities
began they never were able to turn out
quantities that could In any way com
pare with the immense output of Amer
lean builders. This then will AFFORD an
immense outlet for American motor
cars and motor trucks. which will mean
high prices both here and abroad and
a consequent continued prosperity for
