TT O A ' VOL 28, MO. II. L'ANSE, BARAGA COUNTY, MICHIGAN SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1908. TERMS: $J.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE F. A. Kncamp Bad. From Con. Bead of L'Anse Schools Home From Washington Convention. -Roosevelt Speass. P. A. Mellencamp, superintendent of , L'Anse public schools, returned Mon- ' from Washington, D. C, where be at tended the sessions of the National Ed ucational Association last week. Mr. Mellencamp says' that, the meet ing at Washington has been pronounced the most successful and profitable ever held in the history of, the association, and that the attendance, which approx imated two thousand, was the largest ' at any meeting ever held by the super intendents. Great educators from all parts, of the country were present to . present their views in addresses before the meetings, and very helpful discus sions of interesting questions confront ing all superintendents" of schooiswere entered into at length. Three meetings were held each day of the convention, one each in the morn ing, afternoon and evening, with the exeption of Wednesday afternoon when the members met in the east room of the White House and were addressed by President Roosevelt. There was not a great deal of time for sight see ing, as the meetings occupied the days and evenings, but during intervening hours the points of interest were visited by most of the educators and the trip was generally pleasant. The sessions, besides giving the sup erintendents from all parts of the country the opportunity of hearing ex haustive discussions of important sub jects by widely reputed educators, per formed to office of making interchang. ing of ideas among the visiting mem- . . bers ..possible, . as a. .form of. .etiquette of their own making was adopted, mak ing it good form for members to discuss matters with each other without form al introduction. This made the visit agreeable for all and the intercourse was very profitable. ' ' Following is a gist of the address made on Wednesday afternoon by Pres ident Roosevelt before the visiting edu cators. The entire speech occupied a time space of about a half hour. "I would not have you preach an im possible ideal, for if you preach an ideal that is impossible, you tend to make your pupils believe that no ideals are possible, and, therefore, you tend to do them that worst of wrongs to teach them to divorce preaching from practice, to divorce the ideal that they in the abstract admire from the prac tical good after which they strive. "Teach the boysnd girl that their business is to earn their own livelihood; teach the boy that he is to be the home-maker; the girl that she must ul timately be the home-keeper; that the work of the father is to be the bread winner, and that of the mother the housekeeper; that their work is the most important work by far in all the land; that the work of the statesman, the writer,- the captain of industry, and all the test ) is conditioned first upon the work that finds its expression in the family that supports the family." Mew Law Firm Established. Wednesday afternoon articles of in corporation were filed with the county clerk for the establishment of a new law firm to exist under the firm name of Mason A O'Connor. The company is composed of William 'II Mason and" Joseph ' JV "O'Connor, both well known gentlemen of this vil lage, and widely known throughout Bar- aga county and m f act the upper penin sula in general. Mr. Mason, the senior partner, has for the past six years held the position of prosecuting attorney of Baiaga county, while the junior partner, Mr. O'Conner, has had a successful law practice throughout the county for the past four years. The new firm will have headquarters in one of the convenient down-town of fices and it is with the best wishes of The Sentinel that the gentlemen en ter upon a new business area. , fWO.OO paid by Dr. Shoop for any recent case of Grippe or acute Cold that a 25 cent box of Preventks will not break.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SENTINEL, ONLY 01.60 PER YEAR" LESS THAN 3 CENTS PER 7EEII , Vor!i On Tovnsite Survey Celled. Civil Engineer Herman Feslng and . Corps of Assistants Finish " Undertaking Wednesday. Wednesday evening brought to a close the work of platting out the new addition to L'Anse village, which has been under the superin tend ency of Civil Engineer Herman Fesing, of Houghton, assisted by Messrs. Hen ry Gibbs and Daniel Toomey, also of the same place, during the past two weeks and a half. Mr. Feising stated to a Sentinel representative that he was very much pleased with the results which had been obtained, and that prospective purchas ers could do but little better in the pur chase of one or more of these lots. When the work was commenced the original plan was to survey and stakd out lots which would be 60 x 125," but after investigation and activity began it was found that some fifteen feet could be added to each lot, thus making them 65 x 125. . . Such lots certainly deserve recogni tion from prospective purchasers and we are informed that already several of them have been spoken for, to be tak en up as soon as they are placed on the market for sale. Just what effect the additional few feet will have on the original price per lot is still a conjecture, but even at a small advance to one who is in search of a good place to locate and build none better than the village of L'Anse and the new addition could be found. During the past two years and es pecially the last few months of the , present year, L'Anse has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth. Many new and modern places of business have been erected, likewise new dwell ings, to say naught of the number of houses which have undergone excellent repairs, while the future holds in store the erection of several other structures. In conversation with a certain con tractor recently, we were informed that the prospects for a lively summer in this line is staring him in the face, and that by the end of the present year the little burg will have so changed that many of the old residents would hardly recognize it. This is certainly encouraging news but as we have carefully digested the subject we cannot see why it should be otherwise. Few places can boast of the natural advantages which L'Anse possesses. , There is at its front the famous waters of Keweenaw Bay, which affords en trance to the recently constructed dock, of boats of the greatest tonnage plying on Superior waters. Touching in close proximity to the business section is the D. S. S. & A. railroad, while well-cared-for roadways and in one instance a new ly constructed highway, make easy ac cess to the villages of Baraga, Pequam ing and Skanee. As a summer resort town few places are its peer. Nearby streams abound with game fish of nearly every descrip tion, while the bay waters afford all to be demanded in the line of large or lake fishing. Then there is the forests which form a fitting background, which not only appeal tothe pleasure seekerhut to the manufacturer. As a 'manufacturing center few places offer better advan tages than does L'Anse. As for power to operate establish ments of considerable capacity, nothing will be lacking in this respect by the end of a few months. The matter now in hand in connection with the recon struction of the electric power plant to be operated by water power, makes it possible as soon as the demand calls, for a day and night service, thus enabl ing the , council to fnrnish power and light at a nominal cost. ' s With such an outlook for the ap proaching year, It can be little wonder ed at that the present day citizen looks forward with considerable encourage, ment for the future. ' Former L'Anse turn m. Word was received this week to the effect that Cord Johnston, formerly a resident of L'Anse, but for the past two years a resident of Bradentown, Florida was seriously ill and that physicians had given up hope of his recovery. He was well known throughout this vicinity and the copper country .having for a number of years conducted business in this village and later followed the lakes as a vocation, and it is with regret that the sad news comes to his many friends. M Cloze Occurs at Stenee Friday. Large Barn Belonging to N. M De Haas Containing a Number of Head of Stock Barns. At 6 o'clock Friday morning the lit tle hamlet, of Skanee was aroused by the alarming cry of fire, which when located proved to be the large stock barn located near the N. M. DeHaas mill. At appears that at the above hour stated teamsters - had been to the stables for the purpose of feeding the horses housed within and shortly after returning to their breakfast the fire was discovered. Before assistance could be procured the building was enveloped in a mass of seething flames and all entrances to the barn practically cut off. Among those who sustained a loss of live stock were Alfred Nelson, one team; John Brodt, one team; and Chas. Hartvig, one horse. A team of horses belonging to Mr. DeHaas, which was stabled in a portion of the barn was saved by dint of hard labor. . Just what the actual loss will aggre gate has not yet been determined but in all cases will be keenly felt by each of the sufferers. SUCCESSFUL MUTING OF EDITORS. Iron River People spread Themselves to Make Things Good. According to all reports the members of The Upper Peninsula Press Associa tion will always hold a warm spot in their hearts for Iron River and Editor P. O'Brien. A ' meeting of . the , association was held in that village last week, begin ning Tuesday morning, and judging from the various reports furnished by the numerous editors present, it is safe to assume that nothing was left undone to make the event one long to be re membered. During the progress of the affair many splendid addresses were made by viaiting prominent men and the whole ending with a banquet of no mean order. At the business meeting the following named persons were elected to office for the ensuing year: President, F. L. Baldwin, of the Eacanaba Journal; Vice President, Thomas J.

The basket ball game which was played here Friday evening between the Reds and Blues was . one of the most interesting which has taken place in some time. At the end of the second half the score was a tie, and by a field goal the Reds broke the tie and won the game by a score of 32 to 30. Considering that this ' was the first game for the young ladies and the short time the practice games have beengobig on, it was a clean, fast exhibition.
