STATE ASKS FOR BIDS ON
NEW HIGHWAY CONTRACT

The state highway department has
asked for bids on the building Of eight
miles on highway on state trunk line
M35-5E, from Teal Lake to Bancroft,
in Marquette county.
According to the specifications sub
mitted by the state department en-
gineers, the job will consist of the
construction Of approximately eight
miles Of road twenty feet in width
with two-foot shoulder and the nec-
essary drainage structures on either
side. Material to be used will be Ell
ther solid concrete or concrete bed
covered with bituminous material.
Grading, which was let On contract
to Hall and Labby, Negaunee con-
tractors, was comIgeted early this
spring and work on the construction
is expected to go forward at once,
following the awarding of the con-
tract. 1t is anticipated that many
bids will be submitted on this job, one
of the largest to be let in upper
Michigan. Material required will in
clude something over $4,000 barrels
CT cement and enormous tonnages of
both rock, sand and gravel.
State trunk line M-35, the highway
over which the new job will be let,
traverses the middle western portion
of the upper peninsula from Glad
stone, where it joins with combina-
tion of NIP and M-15, to L'Anse,
where it joins with a combination of
NIP and NILS, to L'Anse, where it
again joins with NILS. From Glad
stone it parallels the Chicago and
railroad to Little Lake,
where it swings to the west through
Gwinn and Princeton, thence north
westerly again through Palmer into
Negaunee.
Abount six miles out of Negaunee
the main stretch Of M-35 swings
northwest again to Lake Indendence
thence west and finally south to
L'Anse to a junction with M,-15. A
branch runs into Marquette, a dis
tance Of about five or six miles.

ant to Act Sc of the Public Acts of
1919, to be permitted to discontinue
service over that portion of said
South Range Extension between ST.
mar Station, at the east end of said
bridge, and the western termini of
said Extension at Riddle Junction
and Mass, until such time as resump-
tion Of operations thereon shall be
warranted, which application set
forth specifically the reasons for the
desired discontinuance of said por-
tion Of said railroad, to-wit:-
That the expense of reconstructing
the said bridge would be at least
S85, ,000.; that said Company neither
has nor could borrow the necessary
funds for that purpose, that the prin-
! cipal source of revenue for which
! said Extension was constructed (the
transportation of copper rock) has
, long since been cut off, that said Ex-
tension has not produced sufficient
/ revenue to pay operating expenses,
and that there is no freight or pas
senger traffic west of said bridge
that cannot be readily handled by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way and the Copper Range Railroad.
That on July Ia, 1923, the said
Commission entered further order
that this matter be brought on for
hearing before the Commission at its
Offices in the City Of Lansing on Sep
tember 5, 1923, at 8 o'clock A. M.

On the farm of Mr.. Tombstone,
according to Mr.. Bennett, it was on
the second of July when the squares
were picked off an eighteen acre

time there were about six or eight

DR. FORT FINDS MUCH
MALARIA IN DO0LY
AS Many as s and 8 People
Lying in Houses There, Suf-
fering With Disease

VIENNA, July 31,-Dr. N. A.
Fort, an officer of the State Board
of Health, who recently visited
Dooly county, in an interview here
gave out the following valuable IN
formation relative to malaria and
simple method of control:
in driving through the county
l have seen 6 or 8 people lying in
bed or on the porch Upon inquiry
l found in each case that they
were suffering with malaria. Mos
quitoes that bite only at night gave
them the disease. Some of them
had built smokes, burnt leather.
tried to sleep in tigh close rooms,
but the mosquito got to them.
And the suffering from ordinary
mosquitoes keeps them awake and
makes them not fit to work next
day.
The best relief so far discovered
for such people is to spray the
rooms the common creosote that is
used for preserving timber. Last
summer DIR. Google in Mississippi
sprayed 25 houses where mosqui-
toes were especially bad, and no
mosquito was ever discovered in
any of the houses during the rest
Of the year. True it stains the
walls and leaves some odor, but the
walls are already smoked, and the
odor is pleasanter than the smudges
which are now used. In fact the
odor is quite agreeable to many
people. If all the tenant houses
! of this class in Dolly county were
now sprayed, there would be very
little malaria, and much suffering
would be prevented this year. 1t
costs only a few cents a house.
To demonstrate the efficiency Of
this method l have today personal
ly treated two houses in this coun-
ty. One house is occupied by
Seab Hendricks in Vienna. If in
terested, Chief of Police Peuniug-
ton will show you the house. This
house was sprayed with a fifty-fifty
mixture of Creosote and keronsene.
This is said to develop a. pleasant
! er odor than creosote alone, hut
1t may not last as well. Time will
tell. The other house was at Rich
wood, and occupied by Robert
Davis. This was sprayed with
creosote alone, and we'll done. We
recommend an examination Of this
house to judge of the method,
Some counties in which we have
made this demonstration are buy
ing many barrels of creosote. Mills,
turpentine camps, and large farms
are spraying all their quarters, as
it saves doctor bills. and avoids loss
of labor when hands are so scarce.

other method is used the cotton
was not as large because when the tn.
squares were picked off the other,
all the nourishment in the soil
helped the plant 10 grow, so a hill
consisting of four stalks was pick
ed out in the field where the Flor
ida method was not used, and a
count revealed eighty-four squares,
against one hundred and thirty
eight squares where the Florida
method was used.

method. His case is merely fair

Inasmuch as the weevils will not
