WILL CHANGE ROAD
THROUGH MILL YARD

A change is contemplated in Fed
eral aided road No. Is which cuts the
Ford mill yard in two and runs thru
L'Anse, running from the Red Rocks
at the head of the bay into town, a
distance Of about a mile, will be
abandoned.
The change in the location of the
highway is necessary to permit the
Michigan Iron, Land G. Lumber Com
pany's plant to expand and give them
a larger acreage in which to develop.
Several routes have been surveyed
but the one which seems to be the
most favorable will start at the Stan
dard Oil station, parallel the railroad
track on the south side to Fourth
street, then go south oves Fall river,
crossing near Mrs. Larson's cottage
and coming out near the depot. The
road would then follow the section
line and strike the present highway
north of the Red Rocks. District En-
gineer H. s. Davies and Assistant II.
r. Reed of Escanaba were in L'Anse
last Friday and with the lumber COM
pany's engineer, H. E. Carlin Of Iron
Mountain, made a thorough investi-
cation of the situation. Mr.. Davies
made the statement that the new road
would come out near the Red Rocks
and that several state engineers
would be here this week making sur
veys. Several routes will Gbe sur
veyed and the entire survey submit
ted to the state and federal road de-
partments.

AT ASSINIES MONDAY

Francis Jacker, writer, artist, mu-
sician, master CT languages and be-
yond question the best authority on
the old Indian lore of the days before
the white man, died Monday morning
at 1880 o'clock at the home of his son
at Assinins at the age CT almost SO
years.
He was born in Ellwangen, Wurten-
burg, Germany, in 1S40, the son of .
college professor.
In 1859, Mr.. Jaclker, then only 10
years of age. came to America. He
had been preceded by others of the
family, including brother, FIR. Jack
er, for years well beloved mission
airy among the Indians. FRI Jacker
died at Marquette in 1887.
Three years after his arrival in
America, Francis Jacller came to nor
thern Michigan. This was in 1862.
A desire to be near his brother was
the impelling motive in bringing Mr.
JdC:ICT 10 IHS HOTll.
, On arriving in the copper country,
Mr.. Jacker taught school in Hancock
for a few months and then moved to
Assinins. In 1863 Mr.. Jacker mar
ried an Indian girl, named Ikwesens,
(Little Girl, or Catherine, as she
was christened. She came of royal
line, her father. Wabos, being one of
the great chiefs of the Ojibway ma
ton.
The Ojibways had long resided near
what is now the Portage entry and it
was in this vicinity that Mr.. Jacker
and his bride took up their residence.
1t was there that Mr.. Jac:Ser replaced
the old log cabin with the present
frame cottage almost SO years ago
and it is there he made his home for
almost GO years.
Under the circumstances il is hard
ly queer that Mr. Jacker, trainend as
student in German universities,
continued his studies during his later
years. The Indians, their history,
customs, legends, beliefs--in short
everything connected with the race,
interested Mr.. Jacker and he spent
the greater part of his lifetime as
student Of these things.
Mr.. Jacker heard great numbers OF
legends, the unwritten history Of
dying race. Many of them he wrote
down and thus saved them to postcri-
ty. Others he probably carried with
him to his grave. The Sentinel
few months ago printed several ar
ticles Of Mr.. Jacher's dealing with
Indian legends and we have still TIVE
more CT his stories to print. These
shall appear soon.
Mr.: Jacker was quite a prolific
writer. His writings on the Indians
were published locally and in many
other places, for instance, he was
contributor for many years tom Ger
man magazine and many articles he
wrote on the Indians and published
abroad are preserved In wonderful
scrap book he kept.
He made his home in Jacobsviile
until about two years ago when he
went to Assinins to live. with his SOC
John, who keeps a store there. He is
survived by two sons and daughter.
The funeral was held yesterday,
with services in Holy Name churck
at Assinins, FIR. Crear officiating, the
remains being laid to rest in the As

INTEREST INCREASES IN
METHODIST SERVICES
Unusually Large Crowds. Are Noted
From Time to Time.

Growing interest in the services at
the Methodist church has been mani
tested in many ways that cannot fail
to be encouraging to the pastor and
helpful to the members.
Unusually large congregations have
been noted from time to time, and
the attention given the preached word
is always good, and at times the in
terest is intense. The scriptural decla-
ration, And if | be lifted up will
draw all men unto me" has been
verified over and over in the insplr-
ing messages by the pastor. Rev. I.
NJ. Christian, which never fail to ring
true. The sermon last Sunday morn
ing was especially strong and the
congregation was deeply stirred. At
each OF the services Sunday Mr..
Christian urged his members to CO.
operate in every way in the series OF
services in progress at the Baptist
church. In this connection announce
ment was made that the usual We'd
nesday evening prayer meeting had
been called off and no service will be
held at the Methodist church next

team. The vigorous campaign, which
was a challenge and an inspiration,
ended in a most delightful get-to-
gether meeting Thursday evening.

at the beginning continued until the
end and a splendid spirit of fellow
ship was manifested.
The congregation assembled in the
main auditorium OF the church at 1880
