Fine Summer Position.

Miss Flora Sawtell on Wednesday
received the appointment of supervisor
of the kindergarten of the Ferris In
stitute at Big Rapids for the summer
term.
Miss Sawtell has taught in the L 'Anse
township schools the past seven years,
one year in Pequaming and seven in
L'Anse, and has always been one of the
most efficient teachers on the force.
Her promotion to this new position
means that she is regarded as one of
the most successful kindergarten
teachers, as this institution yearly
trains many hundreds for the various
occupations. Her many friends here
are pleased with her advancement and
wish her success in her new field.

The Commencement exercises of the
Baraga high school were held at the
Star of Wasa hall in Baraga Tuesday
evening, and as usual in events of this
kind. the hall was packed to capacity,
many being unable to obtain seats.
The graduates presented essays con-
sisting Of not more than five hundred
words. on topics Of general interest.
after which Attorney c. B. Randall Of
Ishpeming delivered the class address;
Mr.. Randall's talk, while brief. was
to the point and very interesting. In
the course of his remarks he gave some
very excellent advice to the graduates,
the gist Of which they would do we'll to
alway besr in mind.
Following his talk, Supt. s. o. Clinton
spoke a few words to the graduates,
afterwards presenting diplomas to
Frank Mcmahon, Litith M. Choss, Carl
L. Engstrom, Ida Larmsnen, Martha
A. Mcintosh, Elina Karala, Charles

DEVELOPMENT co.
VALUATIONS RAISED.

The Sturgeon River Land & DeveI-
opment Company, corporation whose
holdings in Baraga. Covington and
L'Anse townships amount to 1920
acres. had their valuations raised from
$6 or SO per acre to $50 per acre by the
boards Of review, at their sessions held
Monday and Tuesday.
The raising of the valuations was
done upon the recommendation of
Hubert A. Brennan, who is attorney
for Baraga and Covinp ton townships.
and will materially reduce the taxes in
these townships, giving the farmers
and settlers lower rate of taxation
than any that has been in effect for
many years.
In a sworn statement before the
Michigan railway commission a rep
resentative of the development COM
pany appeared in behalf of bond is-
sue and gave the company's tract Of
lands very high valuation. The lands
are all adjacent to the Sturgeon river
and will be used for basin to develop
tremendous horse power. They have
as good water power location as is
available anywhere and there are many
natural basins for reservoirs. The
timber on the lands runs into many
million feet and will all have 10 be cut
before the lands are flooded. Some of
timber land has never been touched
while on other tracts only the pine has
been cut in the early days Of numbering
on the Sturgeon river, where some Of
the best white pine in Northern Mich
igan grew.
The valuations placed on this property
by Supervisors Hid of Baraga, Tracy
Of Covington and Boivin of L'Anse win
make a great saving for the land holders
in Covington and Baraga townships
especially. There are 7.040 acres in
Baraga. 10000 acres in Covington and
160 acres in L'Anse township. This
decision will raise the company's valua-
ton to $3.50. 100000, an increase Of
$722, 400, 90.
Protests were filed with the various
boards of review on Monday.

To Present Play.

During the next month the Skanee
Athletic Club will present the farce
comedy. "The Irish Linen Peddler,"
to be followed by dance and supper.
The event will take place at the Ska
nee Town Hall.
The boys are working for better ath-
letics and of course some expense is
always incurred in events of this ma
ture. The play and dance will help
to put little money in the treasury.
Cleans athletics should be encouraged
by every community, aad the boys will
undoubtedly have large crowd in at
tendance at their entertainment.

The Class Day exercises held at the

scene and not q minute Jagged during
the whole program. The graduates
introduced each other fittingly and in
their orations and addresses they were

There is probably no institution an
cient or modern that holds and carries
30 much interest for old and young as
the circus.
Orton Bros. Shows, which will appear
in Baraga on Tuesday June 9th, have
been established for over sixty years
and is one Of the most complete as well
as one of the best organizations now
touring the country. While consider
able part of the program is furnished
by the Orton Family, nine in number,
their acts are supplemented by numer-
GUS troupes and groupes Of arenic
celebrities of international fame and a
concourse of mirth makers providing
floods of fun for the old and young.
Orton Bros. have secured Hero"
the large and most powerful elephant
in the world, whose remarkable strength
will be shown at every performance
where he will pull against twenty head
of horses. Hero, not only being the
largest and most powerful elephant in
the world, is the best trained. He
always helps to erect the tents and
take them down, carrying poles and
pulling up the tent stakes.
Besides the circus performance, which
is given in three rings, there is an ex-
tensiye menagerie, wonderful museum
and an aviary of beautiful plumaged
birds.
The big street parade will leave the
show grounds at IL o'clock noon on the

points to L'Anse 81, and thus winning
the silver trophy which was donated by
Gordon B. Heughens of Pequaming and
Supt. w. S. Toothacker Of L'Anse. In
order for it to remain the permanent
property of either school it is necessary
that it be won three years in succession.
The first event was an outdoor basket
ball game between the Boys, L'Anse
finally winning out in an overtime per-
iod, by the score of Is to 1S. Then
came the girls basket ball game, which
L'Anse also took-score % to a.

indoor-outdoor baseball game by the

in, the showing made was very sur
prising, and in another year the results
will be more closer.

WHAT cAIARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
\ any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat It's

Shipping Butter Fat.

The Skanee farmers are shipping
from four to five hundred pounds of
butter fat to Hancock each week. Ry-
lander Bros, the agents at Skanee,
have Babcock tester and each Mon
day test the cream delivered.
This gives the farmers a fine chance
to get rid Of their surplus cream with
out a loss. A number Of them former

the year there was always large sur
