Local Commissioner Chandler has just
received information that the special
meeting of the Emmet county supervis-
Ors called far the purpose Of considering
the survey bill of the Cheboygan and
Emmett Lake and River Improvement,
resulted i'm the decision not to pay the
bill. Full particulars have not as yet
been received rs to. their reasons for such
refusal. The maiin reason given at the
last meeting for the non-payment of the
bill, and the only one of importance since
urged against it, was that the maps
and plans were not on hand. This, we
thought ut the time, was only an excuse,
and the action at the meeting Tuesday
confirms that opinion. The maps and
plans were presented to the Board by
MIR. Keep, OF PetOskey, who was assist
ant engineer on the survey, and fully
competent to explain everything con-
nected with the survey. This was not
what they wanted. For some reason
they seemed determined not to pay this
bill. Mr.. Chandler was not able to be
present at tie meeting of the Board, but
this, probably, made no difference. The
action of the Board is extraordinary, as
we'll as incomprehcnsible. This action
of the Board is strongly condemned by
the majority of the citizens of that coun-
ty, as well as by all right-thinking per-
sons everywhere. The effect will no
doubt be to stop all state road work in

The EMMA.-The following is the man.
ner in which the New York Stock Report
figures up the Emnl. mine


In regard to the famous Emma mine in
Utah, it is said that the shaft WIS stopped
by the English company at depth of
less than four hundred feet, at which
point the ore had become too uarrow to
pay to work. Since the suspension of
operations a ST. Lonis organization,
known az the Bay City Tunnel Company
has started tunnel into the EInma Hill,
and this tunnel, at distance of 1900
feet from its mouth had cut large body
OF rich talcOse ore, carrying, several
thousand dollars per ton. This body is
reported as in the correct position to be
continuation of the Emma mine, and it's
value is estimated at from two to ten
million dollars. The Emma Company,
however, will have no right in any part
OF this bonanza, until it proves, by ex-
tending its shafts downward that the ore
Is within the walls of the Emma vein.
In the meantime the Bay City Tunnel
Company assumes the ore to be new vein
to which they are entitled to by right Of
discovery and they are taking ont large
amounts of ore. 1t has for some months
been the opinion of experts that the
Emma mine is situated npon an immense

pamphlet on the game of poker, printed
for private circulation at the request of
some English ladies and gentlemen who
preferred it to whist at six-pence corner.
The publicity which this circumstance
afterwards obtained all over the country
advertised two things to American society
first, that it was the custom of English
society for ladies and gentlemen to play
cards for small stakes. and next that after
learning poker they preferred it to the
games they had been accustomed to play
ing. What was allowed and even fash
ionable in England received quick in

But the result is that the playing of cards

tabooed, and there is danger that there
will net be the same cool and phlegmatic
control of it rs in English social circles.

A LIoN-TAMER's s PERIL.-The Journal
du Hdure recOunts terrible encounter
between the hOn-tamer Bidel and num-
Der of wild beasts. Bidel's custom was
to go into the cage of these ferocious an
imals accompanied by sheep, which
was, by his presence, kept safe from at
tack. On recent occasion he proceeded
to the lions cage. and his first act was
to place the sheep on the back of
lioness, as he had frequently done be-
fore. No sooner had he accomplished
this than a powerful lion sprang upon
the poor sheep and buried its teeth into
vital part of its body. There was a
large number of spectators present, and,
as may be imagined. the sudden act of
the lion created an instant and general
panic. Bidel stepped forward and with
the utmost GOODNESS struck the lion a
blow on the mouth with heavy stick,
which made him crouch and veil with
pain. and throw his bleeding victim trem-
bling ut the feet of the courageous per-
former In another moment, however
all the wild beasts were lashed into fury
by the sight of the blood, and no one in
the assembly believed that Bidel could
possibly escape. Preserving his pres
ence Of mind. however, he kept the other
animals at bay until he had subdued the
lion and chased him back to his cage.
He then fonght his way back through the
other animals, and amidst the bravos Of
the assembly came ont triumphantly,
carving his wouded sheep with him.
The poor animal, which was a great fav-
orite of the lion n-tamer, has since died
of its wounds.

The battle of the Rosebud has taught
General Crook prudence, the disaster
on the Little Big Horn has para
lyzed General Terry, and both are
convinced that they cannot move until
they are reinforced, Crooks boast that he is
able to whip the hostile Indians with his
present force to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. We miss from the latest utterances Of
the General and Lieutenant General the
same serene confidence in the ability of the
troops now in the field to overcome their
savage foes. The fact that over two hundred
men have been ordered West from the forts
in the Narrows shows that the necessity of
sending all available forces to the front is
making itself felt at the Army Headquarters,
but the movement is not so general as it
might and should be. Who or what stands
in the way? This is question apart from
politics. The HERALD does not desire to
stand before the country as a prophet
of evil, and shares to the full
the confidence of Generals Sherman and
Sheridan in the daring spirit of our handful
of boys in blue. 1t is, however, but the
merest justice to our soldiers that they
should not be sent forward in such limited
numbers as to invite disaster More troops
are needed. corporal's guard to hoist the
flag is all that is needed in the Eastern forts
and at the Southern stations. When the re-
Inducements now on their way to Crook
and Terry have joined these officers the
total of their forces will fall short of four
thousand men, and there are probably five
thousand hostile Indian braves between
them, flushed with victories, brave and
cunning, with perfect knowledge of the
advantages of the country and with skill
to use them. Each of these commanders
should have at least five thousand men, be-
cause as the campaign is at present con-
Quoted, with the commands one hundred
miles apart, more than two thousand men
cannot at one time be brought against
the enemy. Why not, then, send three
thousand men to Crook and three thou
sand to Terry? Why not move ten
thouand men in all into the Big Horn
country, so as to give Crook and Terry five
thousand each to whip the 'hostiles' and
leave three or four thousand to stop the run
aways. General Crook talks of ending the
campaign ''with one crushing blow" He
thinks he can do this with the Fifth cavalry,
in addition to his present forces. We hope
if he again risks q general engagement he
may justify the trust his superiors SO peril
naciously confide in him. But we hold it is
the merest justice to the gallant soldiers and
the rich country they fight for that Crook
should not be permitted to invite second
defeat. The remedy is simple. Send all
the troops in the East and South, where they
are not needed, to the ground where they
are.

GRANT AND HAYEs.-The Tribune reports
that Grant is not in the best of humor with
Hayes, and that he thinks the letter of Hayes

with the President. Considering that Grant
will be a shining name in our history when
Hayes is forgotten in a heap of mouldering
Presidents, the republican candidate might
have made an allusion to him as n second
Washington. or something of that kind. But
of course Hayes had his troubles, Carl
Schurz among them, ready to leap over into
Tammany if Grant was complimented.
Hayes, however, if elected, can make it oil
right in his inaugural address, Then he
will not care about Carl Schurz. Grant
should not give way to his temper. He owes
too much to the republican party to war

AN ARGUMENT FOR RAPID TRANSIT.
we hear of thousands of our poor people
compelled to live about the Five Points and
on the East side in narrow streets and ten
ement houses, when we hear how they hud-
die on the sidewalks and cellar doors and
sleep under the stars, we think how differ
ent it might be had we rapid transit. Then
would these hard working honest, virtuous
people find homes in Westchester or beyond
Brooklyn. Then we might introduce that
benefcent Philadelphia custom of building
small houses, which would rent for ten
dollars or fifteen dollars month, where
every one could have his own home and all
the conveniences of modern life. In this
respect Philadelphia surpasses any city in
the world, and wins the proud name of the
City of Homes New York might earn the
same title if rapid transit enabled our poor
ones to go from the Battery to Yonkers or
to New Rochelle in a half hour. There is

The contributions to the Custer monument
fund have now reached the sum of So, 1914 OF,
an important part of this being in small
amounts This is what we prefer. A monu-
ment to Custer, to be of the significance that
ought to attach to it, should be built with
small contributions from many sources.
Congress could not make the work SO
national in character by an appropriation for
the purpose as would large amount con


the Republic. Few of our people are SO poor
that they cannot contribute a mite to
the perpetuation of the memory of this
noble soldier and his companions, and
none are SO rich that they should
fail to do honor to noble deed nobly
enterprise is the inertia-a failure to contrib
ute small sums in the expectation that
other persons will contribute large ones.
Small contributions are wanted because it is
every mans mite which ought to rear mon
ument to the brave man whose death we all
mourn. In our news dispatches this morn
ing there is additional evidence of the bad
treatment Custer received at the hands of
his superiors, but General Terry's compli-
ment to his usefulness is not so grand o
testimonial to his worth as the unselfishness
of his conduct under the most trying con-
ditions. We cannot do too much to honor
the memory Of such o man, and every Amer
lean ought to do his share in marking the
depth of the popular grief over his sacrifice.
