Case of Mistaken Identity.

There comes time in every man s
life when he runs across fair maiden
with whom he would like to keep COM
pany, if not to keep for keeps. This
time has arrived TO a popular young
man who resides in the busting little
village of L'Anse. Twas customary
for this stalwart athletic chap to brave
the cold wintry blasts at least every
Sunday evening, and sometimes on
Wednesday evening the usual nights
when beaus begin to call.
II so happened last Sunday evening,
this young gentleman borrowed horse
of Wick O'Connell, the L'Anse log
jobber, and started for the home of his
sweetheart. On account of the weight
of the horse, and being instructed by
Wick to spare the animal (because he
had to use him Monday our friend ar
rived at his destination three hours
after leaving L'Anse. Advancing to-
ward the door with a smile of anticipa-
tion, he raped. The mistress of the
house answered the door and to the
question SIS Miss Blank in?" replied
with faint smile ''No. She and her
chum started out for a walk toward
L'Anse and expected to meet you.
Haven't you seen them?" ''Oh! Hades!
/ thought they were bellies of Zeba. !"
and he bolted for his cutter and nag,
trying to bolt his Adams Apple at the
same time and was off to Pole Bridge
in a jiffy. He didn't 60 any farther, as
he met his loved one and her companion
all tuckered out from nine mile walk,
they having walked as far as the
Mission, where the horse and cutter
passed them. Not only that, but they

passed by.-B.

EAnse Defeats Calumet.

In one of the fastest and most in
teresting games ever played on the
home floor, the L'Anse high schoo
boys basketball team defeated the
Calumet high school team by the score
of 26 to %, last Saturday evening.
Calumet had beaten L'Anse at Cal.
umet the week before, and this helped
add zest to the contest. The game was
nip and tuck from start to finish, though
L'Anse always managed to retain the
lead. The score at the end of the first
half was 16 to IL.
Though all the local boys rlsyed the
best they knew how, Tollefson. at
center, showed up as star by himself,

seek reelection in March. There will
also be four vacancies on the village
council, the only two hold-overs being
Henry Johnston and Charles Jacobson.
A new treasurer will also be elected, as
Mr.. Belanger has served two terms.
In announcing his retirement, Presi-
dent Kelsey states that the citizens
of the village should take interest in
the welfare of the village and choose
their best citizens to fill the positions,
as men of good business judgment will
be required to handle the affairs of our
town during the next few years.

cents to the state treasury.
Three gallons Of beer, or one gallon
of wine, or one pint of whiskey are
the amounts specified in the bill. The
first proposal was for one quart OF
Of whiskey, but this quantity was
deemed too large.
The state organization of the w. C.
T. u. has endorsed the bill as drafted,
and the permit provision comes as q
suggestion of Rep. Stewart of Battle
Creek.
In the legislature there seems to be
wide difference Of opinion as to the
kind of bill that will pass. Many desire
"bone dry" measure, claiming their
constituents say they voted for such q
law.
The wet" members of both houses
are also favorable to bone dry law,
their idea being that a drastic measure
will tend to cause reversal of public
sentiment upon the liquor problem.

BOOSTING L'ANSE.

In welcoming the Stearns & Culver
Company of L'Anse as new member
of the Stearns organization, the Stearns
Co. Operator, the official organ Of the
Stearns interests, says:-
1T is with pleasure that the CO. Oper-
ator introduces to the different units of
the Stearns Interests new member
but recently admitted to our ranks in
the form of the Stearns & Culver Lum-
Der Co., recently organized and located
at L'Anse in Baraga county, Michigan.
L'Anse is a very pretty little town
located at the foot of Keweenaw Bay,
Lake Superior. This town has splendid
transportation facilities both by rail
and water, is very delightful resi-
dence town in the summer and nobody
can deny that its winters are genuine
in every respect. Its prospects for
growth in the future are now very
bright as we understand that the
location of the Stearns G. Culver Lum-
ber Company at that point is but the
beginning in it's industrial growth.
The prospects are that another big
industry will be located there in the
very near future and the encourage
ment given to its citizens in this way
has stimulated them to greater exer-
tions in calling the attention Of the
outside world to the advantages Of the
town as manufacturing point and
improving the town and its surround
ings.

Culver Lumber Company is modern in

this plant. In building the plant nothing
but economy in manufacture was con-
sidered and we are safe in saying that,
while maybe not the largest sawmill
plant in the world, it is in every respect
equal to any in equipment. Within
the next year the plant will be running
to capacity which means that it will be
turning out in the neighborhood of
40, 600, 600 feet Of lumber.
"The visible supply of timber will
probably keep the mill in active opera
tion for the next twenty years. 1t is
the intention of the company to manu-
facture its timber intensively and moth
ing will be wasted which can be turned
into a profitable by product. Its
facilities for transporting its timber
from woods to mill are very advantage
Gus and every log can be cut, hauled
and manufactured in the most economi-
cal manner. The prospects now are
that L'Anse will become the focus of
the Stearns lumber activities and that
all its activities in that line will be
concentrated at that point.
"When we consider the fact that the
Stearns Interests, during the year 1916,
paid out in wages ard salaries in the
city of Ludington nearly $500, 1000 and,
when we consider further, that this
condition has very good prospect of
being duplicated in Ian e, we can see
at once how bright the prospects are
for the commercial growth of that city.
