WAS \ GREAT SUCCESS

Southern soldiers fought the whole
world for years, that Germany, in
,-.o present gigantic struggle, would
likely be able to continue fighting the
entire world for ten years and that, II
men who fought so stubbornly and
so bravely for country, would fight
as valiantly for Christ, the world
would soon be evangelical.
Prof. Monts address was full of
life and humor and good, hard COM
mon sense. He spoke of the old peo-
pie whom he could name who once
lived in this community, but with a
few exceptions, they had passed to
their reward He thought it a good
idea to look into the future, live in
the present and recall the past but
not to brood over it. We, all of US,
old folks as we'll as young, are living
in the present and we are compelled
to accept the modern ways of living;
that modern ideas and inventions,
which have so changed old ways of
living, is no indication that the world
is going to wreck and ruin. While
there were some modern innovations
that we're quite rs Objectionable as
some of the old fashioned and out-of-
date ideas, we must maintain a bal
ance between extremes in either di-
rection. The speaker once more grew
reminiscent and referred to the old
blue back speller and it's landmarks
as he expressed it,-"Baker," Horse
back" "Incompatibility," "Incompre-
hensibility," etc. For the same rea-
son, he said, that he wouldn't go back
to the oXcart he would not return, to
the old school books and old and an
tiquated school methods of teaching.
At this point the speaker paused
and said that he did not wish to be

The paper today is a good one. We
would have been glad if our friends
the advertiser would not wait until
the day we go to press to give us the
COPY for their ads but we try to
handle them any way and have no
quarrel with them.
Read 'em all. They contain good
information for you. There is MINI
naugh with a page to tell you of the
many bargains that he has. And there
is Caldwell and Haltiwanger with a
whole lot of good things for the la
dies. And Sanders is still running his
bargain sale. And the new proprie-
tors of the Carolina Cash company
have something to say that is inter
esting and don't forget that Copeland
Brothers are still on deck in the day
light store. And there are others that
will interest you. In fact it is a good
paper that we print today if we do
say it for ourselves. And We may be
little late in order to accommodate
our advertisers but they are our
friends. And we stick to our friends,
And don't forget the demonstration at
West-Martin's. And of course you
will not fail to look at the Maxwell
and Jeans ,Jewelry store and all the
rest of 'em.

VETS AND DRYS
Move and Counter.Moye In Coming
Fall Election

Next November the people OF Mich
igan will be given the chance TO vote
upon the statewide prohibition pro
position, which means that II the
amendment carries the state will Join
the dry column. Enough signatures
have been secured on the petitions TO
insure its submission and a great
many TO spare, so there is now no
question as TO the fact of the issue
being brought directly up to the voters.
A counter proposition calls for the
submission OF an amendment which
will enable cities, villages and town
ships to decide whether they shall be
dry or wet. and enough signatures
have been secured to submit this
also. at the November elections. The
idea OF this smaller unit Is we'll under
stood, being TO protect the smaller
community from domination, either
way, by the county at large.
Significantly. though this is regard
ed and denounced by the drys as
wet move. almost the total of sigma
lures necessary to bring the amend
ment to vote were obtained in dry
counties. Not only Battle Creek.
Kalamazoo. Lansing, Pontiac and
Flint, the big dry cities, came for
ward strongly, but thousands OF sig
natures were obtained in the rural
districts OF the counties where these
cities are located.
Ten per cent OF the total votes cast
at the previous general election is
the minimum necessary to demand
the submission of an amendment to
the constitution. Based on the 1914
election 4,644 names are needed

A RECORD SHIPMENT
3, 500 Tons OF Ore Shipped From Lake
Superior District In June

June proved TO be record ore month
of the Great Lakes, with total ship
ments from the Lake Superior district
OF 9.507.5 tons. The total shipment
from the upper lake ports by water
since the opening Of navigation a
mount to 19,615,567 tons.
AT the rate OF shipments this sea
son to July /. the movement for the
entire navigation season can probably
be raised to 6o,0O0.OOO tons The rate
OF gain as compared with the same
period of 1915 Is 20 per cent
1t is generally believed the largest
monthly movement Of the year was
reached last month. Larger coal ship
ments this month and next are ex-
pected TO reduce the capacity of the
fleet for ore by from 100000 to $780,
900 tons September is the beginning
of the Lake Superior train shipping
season. and the fall weather is not
as favorable to navigation as the mid
su,nmor months
The June shipments were handled
without any apparent pressure. The
docks. ships and railroads worked to-
gether without friction The maximum
of the lake fleet and the coordinate
business was probably reached last
month. How much business the bulk
freight ships actually did last month
cannot be determined, as records for
coal and ore are not available. Coal
shipments were not far from as large
as in June. 1913, while grain took
comparatively little steel tonnage.
The demands for wild boats TO carry
ore this week is again stronger.
There Is considerable wild capacity
being taken There also is some ca
pacity reported TO be open for time
ore contracts.

DOWN TIMBER LOSS
See. Wyman Of the n. Y. II. A. Says II Is
Largest In Years

AS soon as the timber roads be-
come little more passable the thirty
wardens OF the Northern Forest Pro-
festive association will be able to as
certain more fully the extent OF the
damage done TO timber by storms
which have recently prevailed through
out the upper peninsula.
From every part OF Cloyerland
Thomas b. Wyman, secretary-man-
ager OF the Northern Forest ProtectI
i've Association has received reports
from his wardens that the amount OF
timber, recently Frustrated by terrific
winds. Is the largest in many years.
In some cases the amount is esti-
mated at fully ten per cent of the
whole.
Hemlock timber has suffered far
more than any other owing TO the fact
that il is soft. brittle wood. with
large top. But there is also a con-
siderable amount OF hardwood timber
down
To considerable extent the owners
OF the recently fallen hemlock timber
will be able to lessen their losses by
Immediately peeling the bark as an
unusually large number are doing
this season throughout the entire up
per peninsula. Hemlock bark now
commands the highest price IL has
reached in many years.
Until a more thorough examina-
ton is made in the heavily timber
ed counties OF Cloverland nothing
nearly approximating the magnitude
OF the loss can be estimated. That
later developments will show loss
reaching high up into the thousands
OF dollars is certain.

made OF great benefit to the different

sponsibilities OF public Office. This

ideas and practical men Every bust
ness and profession OF any conse-
quence today finds the necessity for
organized efforts. and there Is no valid
reason why the cities and villages Of
Cloyerland should not have a strong
healthy organization for the purpose
of trying TO focus attention on the
many questions with which they have
to deal. This association has an OPP
portunity to become a potent factor
for the development OF higher stand
ard OF municipal efficiency in civic
life, but It cannot fully realize it's aim
and desires unless It has the support
and encouragement OF all the munich
palities in Cloverland Let us all
unite in making Cloverland the home
OF the best governed municipalities in
America. Every city and village in
the Upper Peninsula is eligible to
membership in this association. and

in Iron Mountain. in August, every
municipality OF Cloverland will be
represented Please give this matter
your prompt attention that we may
know at an early date what represent
alton we will have at the August

SOME INSIDE INFORMATION ON
THE WAR ON PARMELEE
John c. Shaffer and Charlie Nc
Culloch are principal owners of the
Evening Post. Shaffer is also pres
ident of the Frank Parmalee Trans
fer Co. McCuIloch is the general
manager.
This, it is said, is the reason for
Mayor Thompson's activities against
the bus company. He says he will
try to force the transfer firm to cut
it's rates and let other firms into the
railroad transfer business.
The mayors attack comes just a
few months after the Post switched
from it's place as the only Thompson
paper and Joined hands with the rest
of the trust press to knock the adj
ministration most bitterly of all.
The change Of face shown by the
Post is supposed to have resulted
from a quarrel between McCUIoch
and Big Bill. Until the time of the
split Charlie was one of the mayors

Early this year rumors had it that
McCulIoch and Big Bill had split.
Lundin's system Of handing out the
City Hall patronage was supposed to
have riled the lieutenant.
The pair parted. Soon after the
Post started knocking Thompson.
And as McCuIloch is the real boss of
the Post, Shaffer having six other
papers on his hands, his split with
the mayor was blamed.
Is it to get even with the owners
of the Post and Parmelee line that
Big Bill has started a movement to
force the transfer firm to slice off
part of it's charges?

This, it is said, explains the way
the Tribune is seconding Thomp-
sons war on the Parmelee company.

fer line controls railroad business,
charges rates about twice Yellow

that passengers using Chicago as a

they must travel from one station to

sengers do not use these.
Thompson and the Tribune intend

ordinance regulating the bus firm, it
is believed.
