East Jordan Branch of the Michigan
Central takes effect this coming Sun
day. The morning train will leave East
Jordan at lilo instead of 7:lO as here
tofore. Time of arrival-6:35 remains
the same.
A spectacular fire occurred at the
East Jordan Chemical Co.'S plant Tues
day noon when the four storage tanks
containing tar became ignited and
burned down. The small structures
destroyed held the tanks containing tar
that was used to burn under the re-
torts, and also the gas scrubbers. Owing
to the nature OF the fire, water was of
little use in extinguishing the blaze
and it was necessary to let the fire
burn out, the only precaution being
taken was to keep the fire from spread
ing to adjoining structures. Just what
the loss will total is not known at pres
ent. Considerable material was destroy
ed that will undoubtedly run the loss
up into few thousand dollars.

CAUGHT AUTO THIEF
Thomas NJ Pope, of Pringle, Apprehended
at Lead For Stealing AutOmo-
bile in DeadwOOd.

Thomas n. Pope, of Pringle, was ar
rested last Saturday night at Lead for
stealing an automobile. Pope, it is
alleged stole Ford car from in front of
business house in Deadwood, aud was
apprehended by the police in a garage
at Lead while taking on gasoline for
long trip. He was taken to Deadwood
and placed in Jail, after having admitted
that he stole the car.
Further investigation revealed the
fact that this was not his first expert
ence in lifting autos, but he had stolen
a car from Pitts q Co. at DeadwOod
several months ago, and had taken 1t to
his place near Pringle.
Sheriff Luty and Mr. Herwitz, of
Deadwood, arrived in Custer Monday
evening for the purpose of identifying
and securing the auto which had been
stolen early last summer from Pitts q
Co. at DeadwoOd by Pope. They found
the auto in the possession Of Thomas
Phelps, an uncle of Pope, who claimed
that he had paid Pope S32j.0O for it.
While here Sheriff Luty had long
talk with Sheriff Shoemaker, and the
fact developed that an auto had been
stolen last summer from Newcastle, the
property of Catholic priest there. This
car Lad been sold by Pope to W. f.
Woods of Pleasant Valley, and Mr.. Luty
and Mr. Shoemaker made trip to the
Woods ranch aud-found the Newcastle
car, which Wr. Woods said he had
bought of Pope. Sheriff Howell of
Weston county, Wyo., took this car
back to Newcastle Thursday.
Pope has evidently gotten himself in
a pretty fix and stands good chance Of
spending many years in the penitentl-
airy. He was in the business good and
strong and probably more missing cars
can be traced to his activities.

The Presidents message to Congress will have re- assuring effect the country It is broadly construc- tive and wisely conservative There is no trimming anywhere yet no bidding for cratic support The President continued progress, but along sane and practical lines.
 Into an atmosphere confused by differing minds and confounded by conflicting the message comes like a ray of sunshine and breeze of mountain air into coast fog tells that all is clear from the heights and shows the course toward stability and prosperity.
 The tone and tenor of the message show very plainly that the President is the job and his head very clear The pomp and circumstance of international affairs association with the complicated diplomacy cf the continent where most of the worlds history has been made have not upset the President of the United States. His balance is perfect, his bearings true and his purpose patriotic.
 The nearer Congress sticks to the Presidents pro- gram the better will be its record hence. The more time it gives to carrying out the plans set down in the message cabed from France and the less time devoted to hearings what might have been done i1 war management if foresight clear as hntersght better will be domestic conditions and the greater popular. satisfaction
