Gone To Ireland. James S. Kennefick the veteran sur veyor, has finally started for Ireland. The old gentleman left l'ort Huron two weeks ago and this time will un doubtedly reach his native home where he has wished to go lor years. Mr. Kennefick has been a free boarder at the Union Hotel in Fort Huron for the past six or seyen months and has talked a great deal about going to Ireland, wishing to meet relatives and old ac quaiutuuees before his death. About two weeks ago Mr. Eichhorn got him ready, secured a ticket for him and started him on the long journey. The old gentleman had 300 which was raised for him bv the people of Sanilac county, and Mr. Eichhorn secured a draft for the same payable only in ire land. At the last moment he wished to back out and remain in Fort Huron but he was prevailed upon to go and finally started. Mr. Kennefick is nearly 80 years of age and in his younger days was quite a prominent figure in this county. The street running parallel with Main on the east bears his name and will re main as a monument to keep fresh in our minds the memory of the old gen tleman. The Racket.

For Wheat's Electric Railroad From Bay City to Port Huron via Sanilac Centre. A large number of capitalists and railroad men met in Chicago last week to witness the successful trial of a third rail system of propelling electric cars. 15. 11. Noble, of Yale, was one of the Michigan capitalists present. Speaking of the matter, The Caro Journal, Mr. Montague's paper, said last week: "Mr. Charles Montague has been ne gotiating for some time past in regard to the third rail matter, and now that the questiou of its practicability is defi nately settled, it will probably be used as the motive power for the Fort Huron, Caro & Bay City Electric Rail road Co. Caro papers also state that work will soon be started on a big dam across Cass river, the purpose being to altord water power to generate electricity to run the cars over Fred Wheat's Bay City and Fort Huron electric railroad, via Caro and Sanilac Centre. With a third rail and a mill dam instead of trolley wires, poles and power houses. Wheat's road should pay handsome dividends on account of low operating expenses. Indian Territory. It has been customary in the past for citizens of Yale, who have managed to scrape enough "dough" together to take a trip beyond the confines of our native heaths, to write-up said trip in glowing characters and the writer has no desire to be out of style in so particularly stylish a burg as Yale. I went, as has been mentioned before in these columns, to find a suitable point to locate a bank in Indian Terri tory. "I came, I saw!" but I cannot finish my report like that of Caesar as I did not "conquer". There are more banks there at the present time than there are people to do business in them or with them. Taking capital into Indian Territory is equivalent to carry ing coal to Bay City or shipping marble to Mr. Xoble's quarries in the Black Hills. What they need the most in the Territory are laborers, skilled and com mon; farmers and their families to till the mighty stretches of the linest prairie lands on earth, and all other classes that make the bone and sinew of a great agricultural country. Too many business concerns and not enough bus iness, is the condition to-day. 1 he country has vast fields of bitu niinous coal, monstrous ledges of quarry stone and mighty beds of as phalt. At Red Fork a short distance from Sapulpa, oil was struck the day before we passed through and hun dreds were flocking there from all over the adjoining states and territories. Mining or oil boring at the present time is carried on under the greatest difficulties as the parties have to deal with the government through the In dians and each of the latter must have royalties. Heavy bonds are required and great limitations and restrictions placed upon the parties who would operate. The climate of Indian Territory is fine and I heard nothing of "hot wind3" or any other kind of winds. The ther mometer rises somewhat in midday but the evenings are cool and I do not believe that the people down there have felt the recent hot spell as badly as it has been felt in the north. On the whole, I think Indian Terri tory a most excellent place for a man who depends upon his daily labor for a living, to go. It is the ideal country for a poor man with ambition and an asylum for those who were "born tired." Yours truly, E. II. Drake. Life's Work Ended. Died at her late residence west of the village, on Friday, July 5, 1901, Mrs. George Middleton. Mary Bell wa3 born in Gait, Ont., J une 28th, 1850, and when four years of age moved to St. Clair county with her parents and settled on the old homestead in Brockway township. She was married on her 21st birthday, June 28th. 1877, to George Middleton. Two children were born to them, Harry, married and living in Yale, and Ethel at home. About four years ago the handsome new brick home was built on the beautiful farm, but the mother has scarcely been able to enjoy its benefits as poor health and much suffering was her portion during the four years un til death released her. The funeral services were held at the home on Sunday last at 2 p. m. Elder Lester Clark officiating, and the last rites were performed at the grave in Elmwood cemetery. We desire to return grateful thanks to the many neighbors and friends who performed kindly acta for us and ours during our affliction. George Middleton and family. Yale Clothing House.
