Two Shiny Stills Broken Up In Greene

Sheriff Webb Valley and Office

ton with Federal Prohibition officer
j., F. Green bagged two "sbinny'
stills last week One of them was
an outfit possibly costing round a
81, 900 being inverted turpentine
still on modified scale and it was
found in the smoke-house of Marcus
Lane near old Avera. The smoke
house had blind room to it, That
is it was longer on the outside than
the inside if such room was not. hg-
ured IN the open space;it being boar
ded up to give appearance as If the
end-wall. This outfit was brought
to the Jail and viii! be kept as evil
dence in circuit court. Neil Dun
nam was running the other still in
his yard with wash-pot as the main
feature in the modus operandi. Both
Dunnam and Lane were arrested and
placed under bonds and will have to
face the courts through the different
processes which such breach of both
state and federal law demands. The
policy of the officers to turn up
promptly violators of the prohibition
law is to be commended and will
show good results in the long run in
the efforts to reduce liquor making
and vending to as much of a mini
mum as possible.

At an early age he formed the de-
termination to become a physician,
two brothers also choosing this pro-
fession. He inherited a studious ma
ture from his father who was of a
literary disposition (and was known
as the Canadian Poet having written
several volumes of poettry), also pos
sessing an unusually keen mind and
strong determination, he availed him.
self of every opportunity for study
till he dug out practical education,
and at last decided TO make the ven
ture. So leaving his wife in charge
of the little business he had estab-
lished, he departed for college, and
after a determined struggle received
the much coveted diploma from the
Lewiston tMe.) College of Electic-
ism, following this with one term
in Rush Medical College, Chicago.
Now he must find a location, and
hearing about the little village of
Elwell, and its new railroad, from a
college friend who had located in a
neighboring town, he decided to try
it out. He landed there in midwinter,
with snow about 3 feet deep. His
money nearly gone he engaged a
room in the little hotel called ''The
Hilsinger," and spent about his last
cent for a sign. He was in Elwell
to stay.
With no money and no friends,
business did not rush to him, and
prospects were not very bright, but
with the grit and determination that
always characterized him, he stuck.
After four weeks of waiting he
pulled two teeth for which he re-
ceived a call out in the country. He
had to walk, but his results were
prompt and very successful in treat
ment of this case, and this gave him
start, and some reputation in the
community. Business kept coming till
he was loon able to buy a pony, and
then borrowing a saddle he was
equipped to answer hurry-up calls.
After three years, feeling that he
was well enough established to make
it his home, he returned to Pennsyl-
vania for his family.
He was unusually successful from
this time forth, building up country
practice which required him to keep
five horses in his work. and riding

But every vacant hour found him

or the political questions Of the day.

tinued to be active until increas-
ing age rendered her incapable of

tion prayed on her mind and doubt
less hastened her end. She had a

HOLY WEEK
Churches of City TO Have Special
Services Next Week.

The Go-to- Church campaign thus
far maintained throughout the month
of March with such vigor by the
church of this city will be brought
to a climax next week. In nearly
every church special services will be
held nightly and all will be either
evangelistic in tone or such as are
appropriate to Lent.
In some cases these daily services
have already been started and are
now meeting with considerable inter-
est. Next Sunday Palm Sunday serv-
ices will generally be held and on
April a, Easter, the final and great
est day of all the campaign is
planned. 1t is the propose to re-
ceive into the membership of the
churches on that date those persons
who during the campaign have de-
termined to take their stand for
Christ
In as much as the Federation OF
churches are prepared to invite the
people of Alma to observe Holy week
in a manner befitting it's name by
going each night to special services
it is generally requested that all con-
fiicting engagements, entertainments
and the like be postponed until lat
er date.
The cooperation of the various or
ganizations and leaders of the towr
in this particular would be greatly
appreciated.
Those who thus far have beer
faithful in backing the churches
throughout the Go-to-church cam
paign will desire TO continue to dc
so to the end. All who haven't yet
shown their colors by turning out
will need to get busy.

MICHIGAN NORTHERN
GETS ITS CHARTER
Proposed Railroad Gets State
Approval and Work is Ex-
pected TO Start Soon.

The petition filed with the Mich
igan Public Utilities Commission
last October, asking for the incorpo-
ration of the Michigan Northern
Railroad, after a long inquiry into
the future prospects of such a road,
has met with favor, the COM
mission authorizing the filing of ar
ticles of association. On Saturday,
March 10, the Secretary of State
Northern Railroad Company.
The officials of the company are
elated over the action which the state
has taken, and are now planning on
pushing their plans for the early
construction of the Michigan North
ern Railroad, which will open up a
vast territory through central Mich
igan, and which will also furnish
some of its leading cities with addi-
tional outlets to the markets of the
world.
In April of 1919 definite plan for
the building of the Michigan North
ern was adopted by those backing
lIC pIOJttl, anu Oll may ~, 1919,
association known as the Michigan
Northern Railroad was formed and
throughout the summer and until
late in the fall this association,
backed by hundreds OF the citizens
along the proposed route, bent their
enrgies to the project. An engineer
ing firm, Esseltyne, Murphy and
Hanford of Detroit, was engaged and
this firm made acomplete survey of
the line. The survey and all data
that could be secured by the company
was compiled to assist the contract
ors, TO determine the cost of the con-
struction of the road
The construction of the Michigan
Northern Railroad is certain to meet
with great favor by the people of
central Michigan, as it will afford far
greater possibilities to many COM
munities than they have ever had.
