WALLER'S CLABAV01NT WINS.
first Annual Trials of the Sportsmen's Field Trial Club
arSuccess.
"Pointers" and "setters" and
"brace1* and "bevy of birds" and
"breadth of range" and "flush" these
are bub a few of the words and
phrases that have sounded strange
th's week in the ears of the uninitiated
as bird dogs galdre and their owners
from all over the lower peninsula have
been Jn the city. They have come
and gone and all:pronounce the first
annual trials of the Sportsmen's Meld
Trials Club successful in all 'respects.
Visitors were well pleased with the
accomodations furnished by Landlord
Calkins; the grounds were satisfactory
and birds about right in the number
found. Considerable interest was
■ shown in the trials, a large number
following the do»s all three days.
The feature of the 'trials was the
winning of the Derby by Claravoint,
owned and handled by townsman, E.
H. Waller, and also securing second
place in the All Age stake over a
number of older and more experienced
dogs and in the opinion of many
, pressing the winner of first place
pretty close.
' The Derby stake was run Tuesday
with eighteen starters with the following winners:
Claravoint, first—E. H. Waller of
Clare, owner and handler.    Gath's
Dorrit, second—Dr. McQueen of Lowell, 'owner and handler. Phoebe's Eod,
1 third—Louis Hilsendegen, owner and
..handler,   Dyke's Dyke, fourth—E, O.
Smith of Midland, owner and handler.
At the bench show Tuesday evening
Lou Eodfield, owned by M. W. Tanner of t Saginaw,  was -awarded first
place.     v
.. The trials for the All Age stake oe-.
cupied Wednesday and Thursday and
the following are the winners: Lou
Rodfield, first—owned by M. W. Tanner of Saginaw. Claravoint, second—
ftwned by E. H. Waller of Clare. Eose
M., third—owned'by F. H. Shearer of
Bay City. Fourth was divided be-
' tween Phoebe's Bod, Louis Hilsen-
berger of Detroit owner and Tony's
Nell, A. J. Smith of Detroit, owner,
Ih addition to cash prizes and
special prizes'for the various positions
won a fine silver cup was awarded to
the winner of each stake as well as to
the winner of the bench show. President Tanner has donated to the club a
very fine silver cup, to be known as
the president's cup, which will become
the property of the member of the
club who wins the Derby three successive years.
M. W. Tanner's dog, Lou Eodfield,
made a splendid showing, winning
both the bench show and the first
place ^,in the All Age-stake. This
animal will probably make a good
showing at the trials at the Michigan
Field Trial Club, not limited to
amateurs as is the membersh.ip of the
Sportsmen's"Field Trials" Club, to be
held at Greenville next month.
One of the features of the meet was
the good showing made by the seven-
months-old pup, Dobrezyski, said to
be one of the youngest entered .in such
trials. Though so young this/ mere
pup was advanced to the second series
and the owner, F. E. Doherty, is
much pleased at the showing made.
Euby's Queen, owned by- C. H. -Van
Brunt, was in the Derby stake but,
while making a good showing, had an
off day. George Dawson's Witney in
the All Age made sufficient showing
to be advanced to the second series.
Great credit is due to C. E. Petit for
his successful work in training winning dogs. It was h!s first experience
in training dogs for trials but at least
he was the trainer of the winners „of
both stakes .and some other dogs
whose work excited favorable., comment and indications point to greater
successes as he goes on with the work.
At a business meeting of the club
the organization was found to be in a
most excellent condition with a membership of 112-. The following are the
officers'most of whom are re-elected:. ■

Two New Finns go into the Poultry and H.ay Wholesale Business with-Headquartefs
at  Clare.
Recognizing Olare as the natural
commercial centre for a large district
and noting the excellent transportation facilities with the Ann Arbor and
Pere Marquette and the Harrison
branch crossing here the firm, of
Wyman & Danley has been organized
to go into the wholesale handling of
all kinds of poultry. They buy poultry
over a large area of country, and ship'
to Clare, beginning this week Tuesday
by shipping a car load from Evart.
The have secured the building on
McEwan street, formerly known as
the Doherty warehouse, and, having
equipped it, therein give employment
for twenty-five, persons who." are engaged in dressing poultry ready to be
shipped to the larger markets. ■ Besides the firm has a. number of men
out on the road buying and thus thu
industry becomes an important one
for Clare..
The firm of Wyman & Cruikshank
has also been formed for the wholesale
buying of hay and have warehouses in
this city adjacent to both the Ann
Arbor and Pere- Marquette railroads
with an office near the railroad on
McEwan street. They will buy hay
at a number of points along both roads
but Clare will be the central office for
the transaction of business.
The Sbntinbtj welcomes these two
new firms to' a place among Clare's
business firms and congratulates our
farming communities on the increased
market facilities.
Farmers' Institutes. *
From secretary Fred Hudson of the
Clare County Farmers? Institute we
learn that there will be four one-day
institutes in the county this yeai'.
The state speaker for these meetings
is '0. H. Alvord of Camden. The dates
and places of meeting are:
Eagle school house, November 17th.
Farwell, November 18th.
■Gfrandon, November 19th.
Harrison, November 20th.
The round-up meeting willbe.held
later . at Clare. Programs will. be
issued in. the near future.
Balm for Wounded Feelings.
'Tis really too bad but somebody has
again been tantalizing the chairman
of the Clare county democratic committee about non-partaisanship and
he flies off the handle and calls names
and lets out party secrets by boasting
as to how smart the democratic leaders are in always lining up every last
democrat on the board of supervisors
at the same time winning over one or
two republicans and thus getting from
that board about everthing the democrats want from chairman to county
drain commissioner^ How piteous are
his moans that the democratic sta te
central committee refuse-to patronize
his business even though he is a member of thafceommitteeand hpw audible
are his sighs for more secretaryships
•lying around loose so that he can" pick
up a few odd cents from each of 'em.
'Tis awful that anybody is so heartless
as to keep up that everlasting non-
partisanship tease.
French George.
John Crawford, Byron's famous
horse importer and breeder, is in the
city and at Thayer's feed barn is exhibiting one of the finest stallions we
have seen. He is a black Percheron,
four years old and weighs 1,625 pounds.
The horse is priced at $2,000, and a
stock company is now being formed,
'the company consisting of twenty reliable men, each taking a $100 share.
We are glad to lenow that ourfarmers;
and others interested in good horses,
are encouraging the improvement of
stock in this part of the state. v French
George won first prize at the .state fair
this fall. '	
For Good Roads,   \>
The Hon. H. Earle said in a speech
before the good roads convention held
at Owosso last winter that the three
principal points in road making are:
First, drainage; second, good drainage; third, .better drainage, and that>
if only this matter of proper drainage
is attended to, then we can build
roads.
Now I wish to thUnk Freeman Mc-
CaTey of Grant and Orson Blystone of
Arthur for the interest they show in
keeping up their roads and for the
fixing up ot bad holes along' the rural
route in their capacity as highway
comrhissoners.        Fked .Hudson:
FINE BRICK STRUCTURE.
Farwell's Bank Has Good Financial Backing—An Evidence
of Development,
The' bank recently opened at Far-
well is already doing a good business,
and is a credit to the village and a
tribute to the development of the
surrounding country.
The Farwell Banking Co. is a safe
institution and backed as it is by
such people as L. "WiiM"nan, 0. W.
Perry, O. S. Derby, E. 11. Jonny, 0. H.
Sutherland, W. Wolsey and. Carrie
Stroupe, it will continue to grow and
will become recognized as the place to
make deposits and to do financial
business for a large area centering
around the village of Farwell.
The bank building *is a one story
brick and stone structure with basement, 20 x 50 feet, erected at a cost of
$2,500. .It is equipped at a cost of
$1,500 with a modern screw door safe,
a large vault, a-very fine L-shaped oak
counter 14 and 7.feet long and two and
one-half feet wide. The counter is the-
work of Thurston & Son of Clare and
is a great credit to them both in
design and in .elegance of workmanship. At} the rear there is a commodious room for the use of the board of
directors. The basement is to be
utilized for offices.
E. H. Smith is cashier of the bank
with C. H. Sutherland as manager.
Business is coming in very satisfactorily in keeping with the working out
of .the resources dZ the surrounding
country and everything points to a
successful future for Farwell's bank.

THAT ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
Col. Boynton Has Had Survey
Made from Gladwin- to
Clare.
For the past twelve months there
has been much talk as to that proposed
electric railroad. But the point is
reached where action is in evidence.
The survey is now made from" Gladwin to Olare, and at, this writing is
well on to Rosebush. The route
staked funs almost direct on tbe shortest course between here and Gladwin,
passing just northwest of Sheridan
town hall. The proposed line is to
enter Clare from the northeast, following the creek bed, and crossing
the state road and then runs out
toward Mt. Pleasant between tbe
state road and the Ann Arbor railroad.
Clare's citizens committee are willing to recommend that a reasonable
amount be given by 'Jlare, but they do
not want to advance money until the
rails are laid to the city.

ISABELLAS BUSINESS.
Officers Elected and Money so
"   be Raised'for'Cotinty
Expenses.        '
The October session of the Isabella "
board of supervisors is now a'matter
of history. Among many things done
we glean a few. S. D. Eldred- was
elected county drain commissioner to
succeed himself. They selected L.
Oudthout of Chippewa superintendent '
of the poor to succeed 0. Bogan of
Rosebush. B. T. Duffy w,as again
chosen county school examiner.   ,
It was voted to raise 323,000 for
county expenses. Of this amount
$6,000 is for the poor fund and 85,000
to pay off the debt incurred previously
in the'People's Savings Bank mixup
at Mt. Pleasant;. It is supposed that
this sum will pay all the county's indebtedness. '
Sheep Grazing for Franklin.
As narrated in these columns. two
weeks ago, F. W. Hooper of Alma recently deposited $3,2u0 with: the
auditor general for the payment of
back taxes upon 3,100 acres of land in
Franklin township. From the Alma
Journal we learn that Mr, Hooper has
secured the land for sheep grazing
purposes, it being his purpose", to sell
it in small lots to stock raisers and
feeders. In fact he has already sold a
number of hundred acres, ami as he
fluds the land well adapted'for'the
purpose set forth, the plan seeintfto be
a feasible one. We congratulate Supervisor Hallet and tbe people of Franklin township on the payment of.,this
sum.of delinquent taxes.-'-    . *
