about the legislative nails that these
favors have been extended for politi-
cal reasons. The fact that Wayne
County has nearly 800 votes in State
Convention when State officers are
nominated may or may not have
something to do with this situation.
To remedy this situation, Representa-
tive Read of Kalamazoo county has
succeeded in getting his bill out of the
Committee on General Taxation,
though strongly opposed by its Chair
man, A Ward Copley of Detroit; this
bill eliminates some of these State
officers and places in their stead the
other two mmbers of the State Tax
c m m ssion. The matters were
brought to light by the searching eye
of John G .Ketchum, Master of the
State Grange. A warm battle is in
sight, and Detroit papers admit that
the bill will pass the House, but claim
they have the votes to stop the bill in
the Senate.
The bill to abolish the State Fish
Commission and transfer its activities
to the Public Domain Commission was
badly defeated in the House Thursday
only nineteen votes were recorded in
it's favor.
Senator Amon's gravel bill after
passing the Senate, met defeat in the
House on Thursday by a close vote
its advocates, however, secured its re-
consideration and it was laid upon the
table; later believe the bill will
pass; this Bill is important to State
reward roads of the gravel type; it
each 5 per cent increase on the erich
ness" of the gravel between 60 and 80
per cent, but in no event to exceed the
award allowed for class az" roads.
Molesting or worrying game birds
by aircraft is prohibited in the Saw
yer bill which passed the House last
week; the occasion for this is the fact
that in and about aviation fields, the
aviators seem to enjoy chasing focks
of geese, ducks and other wild fowl.
The Read Bill relative to seed adj
rertising, imposes a penalty upon all
who falsely advertise the qualities of
agricultural seeds, plants, trees, etc.
After this session it will be unlaw-
ful for person to draw upon the
highway more than two trailers behind
his truck or car, according to the
Howe bill, just passed the House.
Senator Clark's bill, permitting all
electors who are absent from their
election precinct on business on elect
ion day, or who are i'll and cannot get
to the polls without an attendant, to-
vote the absent voters ballot, is now
up to Governor Sleeper for his approx

Hereafter when the County School
Commissioner calls a meeting of the
school district officers of the county
to talk over school affairs, the entire
school board will be expected to at
Tend, and each member will receive
his expenses, but no per diem. Such
are the provisions of the Bierd Bill,
which has passed both Houses.
The new Prohibition Bill passed the
House 80 to 6, and will pass the Sen
ate before this letter is read; the only
opposition recorded against the bill
appeared from Detroit and the Upper
Peninsula. Immediate effect will be
given the act, and Commissioner
Woodwork and the State Constabul-
ary will soon have an effective weapon
to use against booze smuggling.

GRAPE JUICE IN DANGER
OF BEING UNDER BAN
Beverage Said to Be Classed as Liq-
uor Under New Law. Was Made
Famous By Bryan.

Observation-Disclosures u i C e,
which William j. Bryan recommend
ed as the great American drink, is in
danger of being classified as liquor
and put under the ban.
The discovery has been made by
George F. Lonz, a member of the
Ohio legislature from Ottawa coun-
ty, that under the new national pro-
hibition legislation now before con-
gress which prescribes one half OF
one per cent. to be the limit Of al
coholic content, grape juice is a wet
drink and not prohibition beverage
within the meaning of the statute,
Writing to Senator Pomerene Mr..
Lonz, who is a grape grower, says
that this limit of one half of one per
cent. "is far too small for the con-
Quoting of the grape juice industry
on legal or legitimate scale.

FIFTEEN PER CENT
RATE INCREASE SOON
Administration Will Raise Freight
Charges Before Returning Rail
roads to Their Owners.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Before the
railroads are turned back to their
owners it is altogether probable that
another increase in freight rates,
amounting to Is per cent, will be
promulgated by the railroad admins
tration. This prediction is made in
well informed circles.
With congress making rapid prep
arations for early consideration Of
the railroad problem the country is
certain to manifest deeper interest
in transportation questions than az
any time in the country's history.
The government ownership bubble
having burst, shippers and the gener-
al public will soon be voicing a de,
mand upon the lawmakers that legis-
lation be enacted that will assure
good service and a sterilization of
rates and fares.
Prediction of further increase in
rates followed directly upon the pub

PORTLAND, Ore.-In spite of the
reluctance of the people of Oregon
and California to believe it old Geo.
Forty, fisherman for years along
Agate Beach, Ore, contends that the
crew of the lost tanker,'S. H. Lands,
was eaten by a strange species OF
fish that turks off Cape Blanco reef.
The tanker S. H. Lands, laden
with oil, sailed through the Golden
Gate from San Francisco in late De-
cember, bound north. Since the day
the small ship was lost from view
through San Francisco harbor it has
not been heard from.
Passenger steamers passing over
the route north, believed to have
been taken by the Lands, reported
several days later that oil was seen
in large quantities on the water. At
that time this was believed the solu-
ton of the whereabouts of the craft.
The S. H. Lands, when loaded, rode
but few feet above water. The
theory was advanced by seafarers all
along the coast that the cargo of oil,
in big gale that swept the Pacific
at that time, shifted to one side and
capsized the tanker.
But for the wives, sweethearts and
mothers of the crew of sixteen men
aboard the s. H. Lands the incident
was dropped. 1t was believed that the
ship and all the crew was lost at sea
when it became engulfed in the ter
rife storm swept waters.
Several days ago pieces of drift
wood, bearing plainly inscriptions of
the S. H. Lands, came ashore at
Agate Beach. Still more pieces OF
the tanker came ashore. This time
there could be no mistake as to the
| fate of the tanker and crew.
No Human Bodies Found.
Ordinarily body will float in nine
DAYS after it is drowned. Two
months have passed and no bodies
that might be of the 6. H. Lands
crew have washed ashore off this
point. :,
Cape Blanco reef, the jut of land
| farthest west on the Pacific coast,
extends eight miles out into the ocean
from Agate Beach. 1t is constant
menace to mariners. Many ships have
been dashed to destruction upon this
perilous shoal.
People of Oregon and California
concede the loss of the tanker S. H.
Lands, believing it to have been cast
upon this leef during the mighty
gale. But they doubt old George For
ty when ne says that the presence
of two large sauriens, of a species
now almost extinct, off Cape Blanco
reef, will account for the continued
absence of the bodies of the crew.
Here's George Forty's story:
"For many, many years have
fished off this point. Many are the
times l have helped carry in bodies
that were drifting in from some
wreck off Cape Blanco reef. Bodies
never failed to come ashore on this
Beach after a wreck anywhere along
this coast for five miles each way.
Says He Saw Monster Fish.
"About two years ago two mon
strous fish, with green backs and
heads like snakes, came into this cove
and have been here since"
He looked out to sea as he talked.

when he pointed out along Cape
Blanco reef.

Spring afternoon, Tuckett looked Wig
ilantly about until he spied lady with
reddish hair and heavy-lidded eyes, and
against all my protests took his tea over
and sat down by her.
l don't know what took place in this
conversation, because it was in low tones
on Tuckett's part-to avoid embarrass-
ment to the lady, he explained afterward
and with little reply on her part, ex-
cept eloquent speech by way of the
heavy-lidded eyes. But Tuckett in his
precise and sallow way seemed to get
a good deal of satisfaction out of it,
After time he came back to me, paid
the bill and asked me to depart with
him.
"You see," he remarked to me, after
