Two Pay for Passing
of Worthless Checks

Payments in justice court this week
were slightly less than usual, two of
them being fines for passing worthless
checks, which seems to have become
a popular pastime here recently.
Miss Della Gardner paid 1886 on
Monday for passing worthless check
on Orbin Moore. She had to make
good the amount of the check, of
course. John Shane paid $3.45 and
made good the amount of the check
for passing worthless paper on Emil
RatZ.
Carl Heinzerling paid SIS for speed
ing, and Ed. Ordiway paid $5.85 for
reckless driving. John r. Clarke paid
one dollar for parking without light.
Andrew Colburn paid $28.45 for be-
ing intoxicated.

Townsend Triumphant in Bit
terly Fought Senator
ial Race

Featured by the surprising run Of
Herbert F. Spotlight" Baker, and the
alleged Democratic votes cast in Repub'
licau primaries fer Baker aud Lindquist,
the contests for state and national
offices brought many surprises in the
final standings of the contestants.
Buryipg the Newberry issue under an
avalanche of votes from the Republican
that it will never see light again, the
majority of the counties Of the state
piled up pluralities for Senator Chas. f.
Townsend that completely offset the
counties carried by Baker, whose over
whslming victory in Shiawassee county
was the surprise Of the local voting
The latest vote on the senatorial race
was Townsend, 1856 535; Baker, 113, =
170; Kelley. SO 96S; Emery, 5',647.
Again, in the race for governor of the
State of Michigan were the back biting
enemies of the man in office rebuked for
their ISLANDERS when Governor Alex j.
Groesbeck carried the state with an
overwhelming majority, almost as many
votes as were polled by his two oppon-
ents together, the two who went around
the state with their hammers trying in
every way to discredit the good name
and ability of the governor. Incomplete
returns gave Groesbeck 220, 337 while
Richard Fletcher polled but 9S,26S, and
Joslin but 81 $50.
But the most exciting of all the races
was the neck and neck affair In which
Bird j. Vincent of Saginaw, nosed out
William M. Smith of st. Johns, in the
congressional contest by vote which
is claimed to be complete, giving Vim
cent q total of 9,l3i; Smith, 5000;
Francis O. Lindquist, Greenville, S.279;
William G. Lash. Saginaw, $3.50.
Smith still refuses to concede defeat
and hopes that an official canvass of
the votes will give him the victory.
The enormous plurality given Vince
in his home county gave him the vic
tory, his votes running yearly twice as
high as those of all his opponents put
together.
The state senate contest in this dis
trict while occupying little of the space
in the spotlight was hard fought, Frank

Take UP Matter of Tree Repair
In City; May Act
SoonO

Starting the fall work of the Cham
ber of Commerce, the meeting held
Tuesday noon in the Armory center
ed around attention to the trees of
the city and community dramatic
work.
A tree expert from Flint spoke
briefly on the subject of the trees of
the city and told of their needs, en-
phasizing that the young saplings all
around the city were in bad shape, re-
quiring immediate attention. He also
stated that there was room for con-
siderable work on the older trees but
that they could wait until attention
had been given to the younger ones.
He added that the trees around the
city had been badly butchered in
many places.
Miss Nina B. Lankin of the Nation
al Community Service, dwelt briefly
on the field for dramatic and artistic
work here in many lines and told of
the need of the community for such
development. Her work is described
more completely in another column
of this issue.
Nominating committees were
named by the Chamber to choose
those who would be voted on for Off
GERS" of the Chamber for the coming
year, and September 21 was fixed as
the tentative date for the booster BAN
quet of this year.
The booster banquet has been one
of the outgrowths Of the Chamber of
Commerce work and is held every fall
near the beginning of the years

reached that the Commission was
helpless.
1t seems that the bird is properly
penned up and is kept in accordance
with all the laws, civil and state, and
breaks no law in giving vent to its
sentiments by quacking. The neigh
bors were advised that they would
have to take the matter before the
circuit court to have the goose remov-
ed, as a public nuisance.

HEAVY ANCIENT FORESTS IN
NORTH DAKOTA

Fossils have been aptly called the illus
trations in the great book recording the
worlds history, the pages of which are
the layers of rock that form the outer
part of the crust OF the earth. BY looking
at some of the Photographic reproductions
OF fossil plants we can restore in imagi-
nation the ancient vegetation of parts of
the world.
Fossil plants are very abundant in the
Fort Union formati.n, series of Tertiary
rock beds in North Dakota, where they
are found in the sandstone, in the harder
concretions or lenses, and in the clay be-
tween the beds of sandstone. Most of
them, especially those in the clay, are
preserved with remarkable fidelity. About
300 species of plants from this formation
have been described, and the total num-
Der of species it contains may perhaps
reach 500 or more, according to the United
States Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior.
This abundant fossil flora shows that
what is now an almost treeless plain was
once covered with splendid forests OF
hardwoods, interspersed with scattered
conifers and ginkgos. The presence OF
numerous and at many places thick beds
of Ignite maks if clear that in this region
there were great swamps, which must
have existed with but little change for
long periods of time. Among the plants
of this epoch were fig trees and tan
palm with leaves 5 or 6 feet across, indi-
eating that the climate was as warm or
warmer than that now prevailing on the
South Atlantic slope of the United States.

BRAINS WIN ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.

Capt. Lebeus Curtis, a former Sears
complishing difficult feat on the Paci-
fic coast The United States destroyer
DeLong, which went ashore in Halfmoon
Bay several weeks 90, was floated by
what is declared by experts to be one of
the most difficult marine engineering
feats in the history of this district.
With her prov stuck in the sandy
beach, her stern cut off by a reef which
barred assistance from sea and shallow
water preventing the drawing up of light
ers, the entire engineering machinery, in
cluding a donkey engine, was transport
ed from the beach to the ship by trolley.
Daniel j. Hanlon of the Hanlon Ship
building Company of Oakland, whose
gear was used In floating the heavy atm
ored craft, declared that it was the great
est piece of engineering work ever ac-
complished in this section.
Great credit was given today to Rear
Admiral Hughes of the Navy Depart
ment and Captain Lebeus Curtis, San
Francisco marine surveyor, both of
whom directed the work. These men, it
is said, after once aboard the destroyer,
refused to leave it night or day for fear
they would lose the opportune moment to
float her.
After getting the machinery in readi :
ness the chance came and the heavy de-
stroyer was pulled loose from what seem
ed to be a sandy grave, floated and
brought in tow to San Francisco.
1t was thougt at first that the destroy
er could never be floated A reef. which
cut off assistance from the sea, greatly
handicapped the work. Machinery could

Two moorings with cables attached were
fixed at sea. The entire machinery was
transported by motor truck from San
Francisco to Halfmoon Bay. A cable
trolley was erected and the machinery
carried from the beach to the ship by air.
This included a donkey engine, whic h
was placed on the deck to furnish the
power to pull the destroyer clear.
From San Francisco the craft will be
towed to Mare Island for repairs.
