RURAL CARRIER EXAM.

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces an examina-
tion for the County of Baraga to be
held at Baraga and Nestoria on No
vember 8, 1918, to fill the position Of
rural carrier at Baraga and vacancies
that may later ocur on rural routes
from other postoffices in the above
mentioned county. The examination
will be open only to citizens who are
actually domiciled in the territory of
a postoffice in the county and who
meet the other requirements set forth
in Form No. 1877. This form and ap-
plication blanks may be obtained from
the offices mentioned above or from
the United States Civil Service Com
mission. at Washington, D. c. APP
plications should be forwarded to the
Commission at Washington at the
earliest practicable date.
During the continuance Of the pres
ent war the Commission will, in ac-
cordance with the request Of the Post
Office Department, admit women to
rural carrier examinations upon the
same conditions as men.

on the basis of the barrel price, and
was required to subscribe to the Red
Cross, as well as to shut up shop for
three days. The state food admins
tration bulletins these cases as indi-
eating what other merchants who fail
to live up to the letter of the law may
expect.
1t is believed that there will be few
cases Of such violations disclosed in
the upper peninsula, however, as the
district is credited with an exception
al record in observance of the food
regulations.
Food regulations haven't loomed as
big to the public since the $3.50 sub
stitute -four rule was relaxed, and put
on an 1920 basis. The latter rule is
not burdensome to the housewife, and
as there is no particular restriction on
the use of meats, except as general
injunction to make all foddstuffs GO
as far as possible, the furnishing out
of the family table-except for price
is not much of problem. The linn
itation on the use Of sugar is now the
most burdensome condition the house
wife has to contend with.

WORD OF EIGHTY-FIFTH.
Now Acting as Depot Division on Line
cf Communications.

In his weekly discussion and review
of the military situation for the infor-
nation of the newspaper men General
March Saturday accounted for the
Eighty-fifth division-the Michigan
Wisconsin division trained at Camp
Custer-by saying that t is now act
ing as depot division on the line of
communications.
This means that the Eighty-ffth is
being drawn on for requirements in
the divisions that are in the actual
fighting at the front, and that it is
not planned Immediately to send it in
to engagement. The Eighty-ffth was
literally drawn on while it was in pro-
cess of development at Camp Custer
to fill out other divisions that were be-
ing called for earlier service, and there
was a report that it was to be main
tanned as depot division.
The Eighty-ffth contains a larger
part of the upper peninsula men in
the army than any other in France, as
it is largely made up Of the Michigan
men who were sent to Custer. Lieu
tenant Colonel Ball is an officer Of one
of its regiments and Lieutenant Clar-
ence B. Randall is company officer
in the division. A large number Of
well known upper peninsula young
men are members Of the various units

government took charge Of the sale

agent, has already undertaken it in
this district, and it will be gradually

RUNS A LOSING RACE
In MINNESOTA FIRE.

William j. Balmer of Dollar Bay
has been advised of the death of his
cousin, Mrs. E. Kendall, in Duluth,
who died of burns received in the Min
nesota forest fire. Two other ladies'
in Mrs. Kendall's party also lost their
lives. The deceased was the daughter
Of Thomas Balmer, formerly of
L'Anse. One of the other members OF
the party was Miss Margaret Fleis-
man, daughter Of F. E. Fleshman Of
Lakeside, MINI. Mr.. Fleshman's IA
ther, the late F. c. Fleshman, was a
brother of the late Mrs. Barbara Stro7
bel of Houghton.
The deaths, considered among the
most tragic results of the holocaust,
were the irony of fate. Mrs. Kendall
was on her way to Duluth last Sat-
urday, driving her car, and in which,
with her niece, Miss Fleshman, were
Miss Margaret Turner of Duluth, Miss
Margaret Sewers of Eveleth and
Mrs. Gilman. When they saw the
flames spreading around the lake
where the Kendall summer home is 10
Gated, Mrs. Kendall determined to
start out and try to reach town.
The smoke, dense as blanket and
singing their straining eyes, was too
much of an element to combat, and as
they were unable to guide the car the
machine soon went into the ditch.
With no time to lose, with flames rae
ing along after them, they started to
run. 1t was losing race, however,
for the Misses Sewers and Turner, oy-
ercome by the smoke and terror of the
falling embers, threw themselves
down in ditch at the side Of the
road. Mrs. Kendall kept on running
and was later overtaken by an auto
mobile which rushed them to hos
pital, where Mrs. Kendall died.
Miss Sewers was later picked up by
a passing machine but never regained
consciousness. Miss Turner was
burned to death in the road.
The Kendall summer home, deserted
by it's occupants because of the fear
that it would be wiped out by the lire
surrounding it, was not touched, and
had the party remained there they
would probably all have been saved.

about 3,400.00-would make the
present settlement a saving to the
county of a few hundred dollars over
the proposed 1905 settlement.
In the bill of complaint under which
the injunction was issued, it was ad-
mitted that the claim against Arvon
Township was in the form of judg-
ment of $4,000 and the claim against
L'Anse Township was properly al
lowed by the L'Anse township board
at $2,500.00, and so certified at that
sum to the county board. These two
sums so allowed aggregate $3,200.0G,
and with interest at per cent to date
would total about $5,O00.00. The bal
ance of the claims over $15,000.00
were disputed. On the claims against
Arvon and L'Anse Townships, Judge
Sullivan said in his opinion: "These
two matters about which there is no
controversy should be paid at once
and to the doctor, whoever it was.
Where there is no controversy as to
that amount the L'Anse and Arvon
Township bills should be paid and that
will be a settlement of these two
townships that they couldn't go back
Of" 81 see no reason in
this case why the matter of Arvon and
L'Anse Townships should not bear in
terest from the time the bill was filed
at per cent"
After careful examination into all
the facts and law of the matter, and
discussion with representative tax
payers and business men, the board
was advised by it's attorneys to make
the settlement.
The members of the county board
voted unanimously in favor of the set
tlement, believing it was wise to avoid
expensive and lengthy litigation, mas.
mich as the final result could only be
a judgment against the county for q
considerable amount.
Immediately preceding the session
of the county board on last Saturday
at an adjourned term of the Circuit
Court, judgment was rendered by
stipulation in the sum of 100000
against the county and in favor Of the
Zellens. All the supervisors were
present in court, together with severa
representative business men of the
county, including L. G.. Hillyer, Of the
Baraga Lumber Company; E. O. Alter
Of the Stearns & Culver Lumber Com
pany, and J. 0. Maxey, president o.
the Barsga County National Bank
Those present in the court room Sat
urday morning expressed themselves
as we'll satisfied with the result and a.
glad to have the matter finally dis
posed Of.

Given An Apportionment of $4,000, Baraea
County Goes Over the Top With
Subscription of SlO7 $4,000.

The Fourth Liberty Loan has been
over-subscribed in Baraga county by
the largest sum of any of the loans.
Allotted the sum of $4,000, the peo-
pie of the county went at it in the best
of nature and put few extra dollars
on for good measure. A few extra
dollars ?-pardon the statement, for
when the totals were made up, it was
found that we had at least tripled our
quota, the exact figures of the amount
taken being S107, 10000.
Pequaming made the banner sub
scription of the county. There the
drive was under the supervision of w.
J. Colenso, C. j. Brink and John A.
Hickey. The sum of $51 500 in bonds
was iaken, and when one takes into
consideration that the county's quota
was $4,000, the community and its
people have great deal to feel proud
Of. The residents of Pequaming,
outside of the Hebards, subscribed
$24,5OO, the Hebards taking $4,000
of the bonds.
In Baraga township, Township
Chairman GLADDEN. aportioned his quo
Ia of $4,000 as follows:
Grange District-Allottcd $4,000;
took S3,250.
'Keweenaw Bay-Allotted $1,000;
took $4,000. I,

took $1O,30O.
Pelkie District-Allotted $1,000;
took $500.

ship, the total was swelled to $20,050.
Although all the figures look good, the
Pelkie district is considered to have
done exceptionally well. The resi-
dents of that community are all Finnish
settlers, and when one bears in mind
the fact that most Of the people have
only lived in this country short
time, the over-subscription is all the
more pleasing.
Due to the lateness of the hour we
received the figures, we are unable to
make further comment at this time,
The complete table of the amount sub.
scribed is as follows:
Pequaming, $51 500.
Hebard's camps, through Alex Gil
roux, $2,750.
L'Anse, S16,700.
Arvon Township, $500.
Covington Township, $4,000.
Walton, 1850.
Spur, $3.50.
Nestoria, $700.
Baraga Township, including Baraga
village, Keweenaw Bay and Pelkie
$2O,50O.
Total, s107, $4,000.
w E Poppe at Nestoria reports
railroad subscriptions at Nestoris
amounting to $5,150.00, which is moi
included in the above, as all railroad
subscriptions will be credited to the
different counties and states later OF
by the government.
