Michigamme Has Fine School.
We hadn't been in Michigamme fof
several years until last week, and ma
turally the fine new school that stands
upon a hill overlooking the surround
ing country was the first item that at
tracted our attsI tion. II is certainly
a credit to this place which has kept
going right along although its mining
operations had been paralyzed these
many years.
Michigamme, like its sister town
ship OF Champion, has lot OF farm
ers and some mighty goo farms.
South OF the village the big forest OF
hardwood stretches of down into Iron
county. Much OF this timber has re

road Is contemplated that will even
tually reach down to the Deer and
Fence rivers and may connect thru
to the ST. Paul al Balsam. The old
buildings at the Michigamme mine
have about all disappeared. The en-
gine house walls still remain, land
mark OF the days gone by when Mich
igamme was the liveliest mining CEN
ter In the peninsula.
The streets OF the village are well
kept up and the town looks fairly
prosperous.
Limonite Mines Closed.
West OF Michigamme in Baraga
county there are big deposits OF a
low grade limonite ore. The Ohio
mine, one OF the biggest OF these
properties, has been operated by the
Rogers-Brown interests with George
l.. Woodwork Of Iron River in charge.
The lack OF demand for this kind of
ore necessitated its closing the past
spring so that all mining is suspend
ed in and about Michigamme.
The ore deposits lie in Baraga coun-
ty, the line between Marquette and
Baraga counties passing just west OF
the village and at that line commences
the new Federal aid road project
which covers Baraga county from one
end to the other.
Grading on that project started al
both ends so that as soon as one
crosses the railroad west OF Michi-
CANINE he hits the bumps for forty
eight miles OF poor going.
The swamp lying between Michi-
CANINE and the old Spur mine has
been graded and the crew was at work
on the old Spur location when we
passed.
When I became acquainted with the
Spur mine in 1897 when some people
for whom we were employed, sent US
there to dismantle the machinery and
ship il to the Mansfield mine. 1t looks
about the same today as It did then
the only change being that the barn
and engine house have entirely dis
appeared.
The Spur was quite a property In
its day and at one time was the OBJ
ject OF Thomas A. Edison's attention
when he was at work upon a concen'
traitor for magnetic ore. The ore o.
the Spur was OF a magnetic type, bu'
there wasn't any great amount OF II
that proved Of commercial value. Ore
from this mine and from the Other
mines on the west end OF the Mar
quette range were, In the early days
hauled over the hills 70 L'Anse where
ore docks were located and from
which port ore was shipped for sew
eral years.

Houghton Has Good Roads.

Houghton county has excellent
roads all through. They long ago
learned the lesson OF permanency up
there and most OF their roads are
either bituminous or cement concrete.
Immediately after crossing the line
one picks up the stamp sand road. II
gives one an idea OF what the Baraga
road will be when finished. This road
merges into bituminous concrete
road further along near Houghton.
Chassel hasn't changed much in the
past few years; IL anything, II has i'm
proved. and the road between there
and Houghton makes o beautiful
drive. Many summer cottages and
country homes are passed until one
enters the village OF Houghton. One
should turn right soon after entering
the village so as 10 pass the College
OF Mines and the many beautiful res

the village.
The recruits sent from the several
counties OF the peninsula to the Col

passed. The boys were not allowed
to leave the grounds. Guards were
posted and visitors we're not allowed
to pass the lines without permission
We saw Arnold Sodergard among the

Keweenaw a Revelation.

We had been 10 the copper country
many times, but never before had we
covered Keweenaw county to any ex-
tent, SO that our trip to Eagle Harbor
was doubly interesting. Talk OF roads
and scenery, one doesn't have to go
west or east for some OF the finest
scenery In the United States. The
Upper Peninsula has the equal OF any
and the Keweenaw peninsula has the
best OF the lot. A guide told me when
! failed TO comprehend the figures
that he was trying to point out to me
In the Garden OF the Gods, that three
quarters OF this special scenery stun
is imagination, and one may let his
imagination play Just as fantastic
tricks in sizing up the cliffs and rocks
on the road to Eagle Harbor as in ths
Rocky Mountains. The only thing
lacking is the clouds playing about
the peaks OF the cliffs.
Talk OF ending that Dixie Highwa'

end that road Is at the jumping OF

shows signs OF the loss of her young

pie were on the streets as was in
evidence on our last visit. Business
Is good, say the business men. 1t Is
only the amusements that are patron

complaining.
The same condition was In evidence
in Hancock and Calumet and the min
Ing operators all complain OF short
age OF labor.
A ride about Calumet will show
one why there is such dearth OF
| young men on the streets and why the
mines are complaining for in almost
every window one will see a service
flag with one or more stars In II
Other places, undoubtedly, have as
good showing to make but Calumet
beats all the places we have visited

D. S. FOOD FACTS

Americans must send to Europe this
year so per cent more food than she
sent last year. Americans had to do
"some saving" last year. To increase
this so per cent means they will have
to save more this year. Mr.. Hoover
says there must be absolutely no
waste. Every person must save his
share in order that the boys abroad
may be sustained in the big job of
delivering the Knockout blow to the
Hun.
The "new styles for public eating
places" announced week ago, ac-
cording to the United States food adj
ministration, are to be enforced. This
means that if there is not patriotic
cooperation on the part of public
eating places, the United States food
administration will not hesitate to
compel compliance with its orders
through the control of the distribu-
ton of sugar, flour, and other sup
pies. This means compliance or prac-
teal discontinuance of business.
Because the Minnesota club, per-
haps the most exclusive organization
of the kind in st. Paul, made false
statement regarding the amount of
sugar it had on hand and attempted
to hold more sugar than it was prop
erly entitled to under the food adj
ministration regulation, it has been
deprived of all licensed food COM
modities from October 10, 1918, to
January 1, 1919, inclusive and no
sugar certificates will be issued to it
until January /.
