On Board Michigan Patrol No. 1
Leaving Harbor Island on Sunday
morning we reached the Soo in the
late', afternoon, and were locked
through the Poe locks into Lake
Superior. We were informed by our
Captain that perhaps the roughest
passage of the trip would be between
Whiteflsh point and Grand Marias
harbor. While there was no high seas
running,, still at this point where the
wind and waves have the sweep of'
the entire lake, our boat rolled and
tossed so much that most of the time
we, who were not so used to travel
upon the water, were in the aft cabin
below, until we anchored in the
beautiful little harbor of Grand Marias. After supper, we hired a young
man with a Ford car to take us to
Grand Marias lake, a distance of
about three miles from the town and
then after a walk of a mile through
the forest, we arrived at the upper
end of this trout lake. Rev. Merrill
is an expert trout fisherman as also
is Hutchinson and they, with some
slight assistance from the writer
•were able to secure a good catch of
brook trout. j
Between  Grand  Marias  and  Mun-
sinff we passed the famous pictured I
rocks. j
For a distance of 3 and 1-2 miles I
each side of the Grand Portals of
Lake Superior there are rocks which;
rise perpendicularly to a'height of 200
feet and upon the face of these rocks,
nature has painted some^'remarkable
pictures. It is impossble to describe
these pictures and one looking at
them needs to hear from the lake
captains who have sailed past them,
many times the stories of Indian legend and the romance of the lake to
fully appreciate their beauty. *
One sees on these rocks the herd'
of buffalo filing down to the water
hole, the Indian chleftans in. war
council, Roman gladiators meeting in
the arena and the Indian maiden who
is mourning for the brave, lost in tne
battle. The inverted: forest, the lost
city of the cliff dwellers and a reproduction of the statue of Liberty are
painted in colors of brown, green and
gold as the sunlight lights up the
crevices and caves of this rocky
shore.
The old Portals were undermined
by the action of the water, and crumbling, slipped into the sea, but nature
is at work building new portals at the
place where the old ones stood,, which 1
in the centuries to come will no doubt |
become as massive and majestic as i
the old ones. j
Old Castle rock and   Chapel   rock j
are among the   many   beauties   and
wonders of this    northern    Michigan
sea.
We stopped at Munsing long
enough to get a supply of gasoline
and sailed on to Marquette where we
were privileged to visit their city park
which' is an island three miles from
the city. It is 16 acres in area and
covered with virgin forest. Robert
Hume their present caretaker has
been at the park for thirty-nine years.
Twenty years ago he began feeding
deer until he now estimates that no
less than 200 deer have been fed by
nim at times during this period. He
also has the largest black bear ever
known in the state weighing 500
pounds. Mr. McKinzie, of our party,
was especially interested in seeing
. this bear, as he was the author of the
black bear protection law, passed by
the last legislature. We were joined
at Marquette by Dr. John N. Lowe,
professor Of natural sciences of the
North Michigan State Normal College. We left Marquette early Wednesday morning and entered Huron
Bay in the early forenoon. Near the
entrance of Huron Bay and about two
miles off shore is a massive pile of
rocks known as the Huron Islands.
The rock formations are of granite
and sandstone and are Very hard.
There are at least ten different
species of trees growing on the
jisland and some of the pines a|tain
a. "diameter of 2 feet. The most interesting thing about the island, however, is that it seems to be a favorite
rookery for the Herring Gulls. Here
they breed and raise their young in
great numbers. The party went
ashore on what is known as the East
island and we were able to catch 4
of the young ahd they were banded
*by our Captain and released and a
record made for each, which will be
sent to Dr. Strong of the University
of Chicago, who is an expert on the
"Herring Gull."
gphese gulls do not breed until they
are five years old and their nests are
made in the crevices of the rocks,
Very little materia^ is used in the
building of these nest, in fact in
some instances, it is, almost barren.
IH addition-', to. Ash which, is- the
principal diet, the ybung are fed oh
tae flies and vermin which gather in
MUNNS-PQISER.
Former Clare Lady Married in
,   New York City August 7th.
Following we print an article clipped from The Nugget, a newspaper
of North Bay, Ont, which announces
the wedding of the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Munns, the latter a
sister of Mrs. A. E. Mussell, and former resident of this city, which occurred at New York City, August 7tli',
"The marriage was quietly solemnized in the Little Church Around
the Corner, New York City, of Dorothy Denora Munns, daughter "of
Mr, and Mrs.' William Munns, Jane
Street, to Mr. Beecher Poiser, of
Toronto. The happy couple are
honeymooning in Muskoka district
and will visit North Bay before
taking up their residence in Toronto.
The bride with her two sisters has
been engaged in institutional nursing
in New York City for some time."
great quantities during the breeding
season. Often the nests are built
down near the shore and in times of
storm, the eggs are washed away before they are hatched or many times
the young are destroyed. If this happens, the parent bird moves higher
up on the rock and breeds again and
begins the raising of the new family.
This may occur for the third time,
but never more than the third attempt during one season. If the first
family is not destroyed, no more attempts are made to raise another
family that year. After the young are
raised and are able to care for themselves, the parent birds leave for the
feeding grounds. The young bird is
of a grayish brown color, while the
older bird is white. They are scav-
vengers, living principally off the
dead fish.
Passing into Huron Bay, we anchored near Sknace and in the afternoon went fishing for trout in the
Slate river. This river is named
after the great piles of slate rock
rising from 100 to 150 feet on each
side. There are falls at times 20 to
30 feet in height. It has been a remarkable trout stream, but now visited by tourists in great numbers and
again reminds us that we need to restock our streams and enforce our
laws in order to conserve these great
natural resources
In the evening we visited the Beaver Colony on the Silver river in
Baraga county The number of beaver
in this Beaver colony are increasing
rapidly. This is due in a large
measure, no doubt, to the untiring efforts of their self appointed protector^ a Chippewa Indian fisherman,
named Joe Papineau, aged 75 who
with hjs wife aged 80 and their daughter, Lizzie, a graduate of Methodist
Mission near I/Anse, live at .the extreme lower end Of Huron Bay near
ihe mouth o£ th.i.s rivor.
In 15ii Lizzie found a number of
beaver traps a short distance from I
their home, and reporting this to her
father, who went at once to the place,
confiscating the traps, reported to
the state, the presence of beaver.
In the summer of 1912, Captain
Ellsworth, was sent as a representative of the state to investigate. At
that time, it was very apparent that
only one colony were there working.
Captain Ellsworth has visited the
place every year since and this year,
he found there were at least 5 colonies and he estimates that there are
probably 15 beaver in each colony.
Along the shore of this river, there
is a thick growth of birch and popular. These animals have cleared an
acre of about ll5 yards by one quarter of a mile and this year there were
found 9 distinct and deep trails
which have been made by their logging operations. They cut these
trees and in the later part of the summer and autumn, they drag them
down to the deep holes where they
are fastened by them to the bottom
for their winter food supply. Their
houses are built in the bank of the
stream, the water being of such a
depth, making it unnecessary to
build a dam to secure a storage place
for these supplies. It is evident that
this year, at least 5 acres will be
cleared by these industrious animals.
We laid at wait on the opposite
shore of the stream and watched the
beaver as they went from their homes
in the bank to. the store houses in
the depths of-the river. We saw 4
very large ones, our Captain estimating them to weight perhaps 50
pounds.
Joe .Popineau, the beavers' friend,
is in sympathy with the law keeping
the' season closed on these animals.
It is now Thursday at 11:30 o'clock
and We are just coming into .Houghton where I will mail this.
We expect to arrive at Isle Royale
tomorrow about noon.

One of the most exciting ball games
witnessed this season took place at
the D. Ward park last week Thursday
afternoon when the Firemen • met a
team selected from the members of
the local Post of American Legion,
following a challenge issued by the
latter many months ago, but for
which a date was never set by them.
Great care was taken by the Legion
to pick their players, and when once
decided upon they loyally stood by
them and even more. They became
so starchy that they procured bills informing the public that mourners for
the firemen could bring their flowers
and place them as soon as, the game
was ended. At the last moment, being skeptical as to whether public
sentiment was in their favor as to
who would win, Jimmy and Tibby
journeyed to the country in search of
flowers. They found them in the
variety of a nine foot sunflower,
which-was nicely covered with different sizes, and presented a "pretty"
sight. These they used to head the
parade to the "slaughter grounds'" as
they termed it in the posters.
The game started off with a rush
the Legion getting five scores during
their first time at bat while the firemen were forced to be content with a
circle 0.
Apparently they had spent all as
during the next eight innings the firemen htld them to oone score, while
they piled up nine.
This was a heart breaking blow for
the Legion as will be seen in an
article written by their correspondent and of which the writer was al-
lowel a once over, Headed "Horrible
Catastrophe." In the first paragraph
they apparently admit having forgotten the names of those who belong
to the fire department and in speaking of "some little comment," the
"some little" was right. They continue with the "if" or "had" along
the same line of prophesing as they
did before the game.
It was hard medicine for them to
take and several of the members
have advanced their wish for a second game, but Chief Wellman states
that they must show they can play
ball by defeating some other team and
work theh\ way back to the ability
they claimed ^t^aye had before the
game. ^*"     <;

SHOPLIFTER CAUGHT
SATURDAY EVENING.
Davys' Saved Considerable Loss
by Pluck and Prompt Action
of. Mrs. Cora Wilson.'
Considerable excitement was caused in Clare last Saturday evening by
the attempted theft of several dresses by a Mexican who gave bis name
later as Daniel Cubera.
Entering Davys' store in company
with another of his nationality, they
made their way to the second floor
where th'e Ladles Wearing Apparel is
sold. After looking around a while
the second Mexican purchased several articles, -wbich were taken to be
wrapped. On returning, Cubera's
actions and the bulklness of the raincoat which be carried excited the suspicions of Mrs. Wilson who stepped
to the cashier".s office to secure help.
Evidently .aware that he was being
watclied, the Mexican made a break
for the .stairway but had descended
but a few steps when Mrs. Wilson
overtook him, 'barring his way and
demanding to see the contents of the
coat. Thoroughly frightened by this
be decided to make a clean breast or
the whole affair and handed over the
coat in which was found four dresses
amounting to over sixty "dollars.
Nightwateh Kratz was called and
placed the culprit in the city jail,
where he stayed nntil Monday when
he was taken before Justice Mater
who bound him ©ver to the September
term of Circuit Court.
Much credit is due Mrs. Wilson for
her presence of mind and courage in
preventing this, and, perhaps many
subsequent thefts for a few arrests
and punishment will nndoubtedly lielp
check the loss merchants sustain m
this manner.

HORRIBLE CATASTRQPHIE
AT RECREATION PARK
Firetnen and Percy Stough Defeat  American Legion Team.
August 13, the City fire truck decorated with beautiful sunflowers lea
the procession to Recreation baseball
park to witness what was for 3 Innings the fastest little ball game
held on local grounds.-
After careful study of the ex-service men's line up the Firemen's committee retired to prepare their budget of players.
It came to pass about this time
that one Percy Stough, former star
cloouter and center fielder of Clare's
city team and now official heat dispenser in Judge Newsom's Accessary
store, made his' appearance and was
at once added to the Firemen's list.
This however caused some little
comment at the time but since then
it has been sustained that Percy is
sure enough a Firemen having signed up with the Loomis Hose ana
Water Brigade some two years ago.
He proved to be a Find for the soIU-
iers opponents grabbing 5 out of tbe
air during the game that would have
l'egistered as home runs for the
ordinary speed kings.
The entire Legion line up took
their turn at bat in the first innings
running in 4 scores and would have
been entitled to 2 or 3 more had
Jimmy Sutton and Riley Harger made
the route without stopping for air.

his speed and style of delivery ana
had the soldiers at his mercy after
the sixth inning. Features of the
game. One base hit by Perry ana
Erter that would have made Ty Cobb
proud of for a homer. One nana
catch by Ramey he didn't know he

from making was 9 to 6 Soldiers on
