CLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 4,1925_
FEDERAL GOV'T. WILL
BE ASKED TO PRESERVED ROYALE
Rev. H. B.  Johnson  Continues His Discription of
Michigan's Most Northern Possession.
Isle Royale, rocked ribbed and cop*
per fastened, with its forests, fish,
game and, the natural beauties of It
wilderness and harbors, great towering piles of rocks covered with evergreens, trees and shrubs which liave
taken root and thrive in the soil
which is found ih the crevices. The
valleys covered with trees, flowering
jshrubs and berry bushes and an unbroken wilderness- except for the
trail of the moose. Its more than 20
sparkling .lakes and the numerous
clear, pure spring water trout
streams. A place so wonderful,
beautiful and majestic as to beggar
all description.
Those who have visited it many
times have rightly called it "The
Magic Island:; The Rich, Rare Gem of
Lake Superior'.!'
But Isle*-; Resale, -with its timber
cut, its wilderness cleared, its game
killed, and streams robbed of fish, its
plains and hills Are swept, becomes
but a pile of rock towering out of the
depths of Lake Superior, foreboding
ugly and desolate, a thing to be
avoided and shunned by all.
To preserve this island as it is,
practically the only place of any extent or size, left in the United
States where the automobile highways, and the things of modern
Civilization, have not oome to disturb
and re-shape nature, as the Almighty
made it, should be the ambition of all
conservationists and nature lovers of
the county. To seek to accomplish
this, a citizens committee has been
organized among the people who own
summer homes on the island and
every effort possible will be put forth
to induce the Federal government to
take, over the island as a "forest
preserve" for the pleasure and benefit of the people of the United
States.
The Island proper is 55 miles in
length and from 3 to eight miles in
width and has an area of about
170,000 acres. Its shore line is extremely rugged, indented with miles
Of natural bays and canals and surrounded with hundreds of fascinating islands. Its surface is rocky,
timbered and undulating. The crest
of the hills' are fringed with spruce,
birch, * balsam, poplar, pine and other
well known trees and in its valleys
are found clover, varieties of berries
and during the season almost every
variety of wild flower known.
Along the shores and harbors are
to be seen the ever present gull in
great numbers and every where the
well marked and worn moose trails.
Various conjectures and guesses are
made &f to' the number of these
anitn&js .that make their habitat on
the inland,, but it can be no more
than ?.; gftess, for there are so many
different areas over which they
roam that ;no count or even estimate
could be Jhade.
' On the shores of the lakes, in the
Siskiwit valley, along the Windigo
trail, at McCargo's Cave and many
other places on the island are great
wallows where these animals come
to feed, drink and stamp in the mud.

FAIR AT COUNTY
SEAT SEPT. 22-25
Officials of  the   Association
Putting    Forth    Every
Effort for Success  of
This Year's Event.
This year's county fair, will be
held at Harrison September 22, 23,
24, and 25. The officials of the Clare
County Agricultural Association have
worked dilligently for many months,
planning to make it the best event
ever held in Clare county. Now if
every one who can, will make a strong
effort to get their work arranged so
as to have at least one day to attend
the fair it will spell success for the
year 1925.
Now there is the matter of exhibits. Without exhibits there can be
no fair and it is strictly up to the
farmers and their wives to furnish
these exhibits. Nearly all have something considered a prize in a way.
Bring it along and let your neighbors and friends and incidentally
the judges look it over. Whether it
be animals, poultry, grain, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, canned
fruits, jellies, baked goods or needle
work be sure to have it on exhibition.
Then there is the other side to a
fair—the social side. You will meet
ever so many acquaintances whom
you have not seen in a long time.
You will have a good visit and gain
many new ideas to take home and
think over for many days. Also there
will be a friendly rivalry as to
whether your friends have been beating you to it in the matter of better
crops, better live stock or poultry,
and perhaps they may even have a
car that beats your little Ford.
Be very sure to bring all the children and a generous lunch for all ancl
camp for a day or two in the Wilson
State Park, which is only across the
road from the fair grounds.
Next week we hope to be able to
publish the program of events in full.

SPORTSMEN MEET-
• ING A BIG SUCCESS
E, R.  Cochrun,   Secretary,
pt Department of Conservation   was Principal
Speaker.
The meeting of the Clare County
Sportsmen held at the Wilson State
Park, Harrison, on Sunday, August
30th, was largely attended, the crowd
being estimated by caretaker Greene
as 2,000 persons.
This meeting was in,the interests
of conservation and the principal
speaker was E. R. Cochrun, secretary
of the department of Conservation.
Mr. Cochrun referred to the new
system of state government instituted in 1921, whereby each department
is held responsible for the work in
its own line.
He stated that as his department
was held responsible for the conserving of the natural resources of
the state, they were using every
method, both practical and scientific
to  meet this  obligation.
He said that it was the policy of
the department to institute a park
system which should be adequate to
the needs of our citizens, as well as
the tourists who visit our ^tate.
Referring to the matter of polution
of streams, he said: "For. the past
two years I have never failed to
raise my voice in protest against the
polution of the waters of the state.
The .solution of this question rests
with the people-of the state. As long
as we are more interested in industrial expansion and municipal economy than we are in the health and
recreation of our people, we cannot
hope to have our laws  enforced.
He urged the co-operation of all the
people with the department in their
work.
Other speakers were Ralph Hughes,
of Harrison, T. W. Hansen, of Grayling, and H. B. Johnson, of Clare. Mr.
Hansen is the donor of the State
Military reservation at Grayling and
he told of how rapidly the deer were
increasing in number on that game
preserve. He spoke very favorable
of the fish hatchery located at Grayling.
H. B. Johnson called attention to
Clare county's needs in replacing. the
lakes and streams, and the need and
desirable. location of a fish hatchery
here.
In the evening, the people were entertained with the moving pictures of
"Michigan Wild Life'" by James Mc-
Gillivery, of Oscoda.
It is the plan to make this meeting
an annual affair,

MRS. JOHN ROE
INJURED SUNDAY EVENING
Last Saturday evening about 8:30
as Mr. and Mrs. John Bowen, of
Wise township were returning from a
several days camping trip liioy; stop-
,ped at John Roe's residence one
miles east of the city, parkiny the
car on the left side of the highway.
Mrs. Roe went out to talk to Mrs. B.
while her husband was taking some
parcels to the house. Neither lady
noticed the approaching machine until it struck their car, the driver of a
Chrysler from Detroit, not seeing
them until too late and to avoid killing Mrs. Roe outright, struck the
car. Mrs. Roe was thrown about
fifteen feet and both cars were badly
damaged.
Mrs. Bowen escaped with minor
injuries but received a severe shock,
and the driver of the Chrysler also
escaped uninjured.
Medical aid was summoned • and
Mrs. Roe was found to have several
bruises about the body and a severe
gash in her head. Mr. Roe informed
us Thursday that she is improving
nicely.
City    Pressure    Practically
Doubled    When    Engine
is Put in Operation.
Representatives of the Robinson
Distributing Co., of Charlotte, arrived
in the city last Friday for the purpose
of demonstrating, the Robinson-Barton centrifugal fire truck pumper of
which they are inventors.
The demonstration was first made
at the corners of McEwan and 6th
streets where water was taken from
the city hydrant. At first the city
pressure was shown and then the increase as the pump was placed in
operation. One, two and four
streams were shown and in all instances the p'ressure was doubled
without forcing the pump.
The second demonstration was
made at the river north of the city,
where the saras streams were placed
in operation and where more water
was thrown, showing that the pump
has a capacity of taking more water
than, can, he furnished through some
of our mains.
Besides being a great asset to this
city one of these pumps placed on
the farmers' fire truck would be the
means of saving many thousands of
dollars in this vicinity, as the pump
can he mounted upon the front of
any automobi;e without being a strain
to any part thereof.
If the officials of the surrounding
townships and those of the city
would get together and purchase one
of these pumps, which are moderately priced, untold good could be accomplished, besides having a tendency to 'lower the insurance rate.
If you are interested, bring the
matter before your township board
and we believe that the city council
will be glad to cooperate.
Congressman Roy O, Woodruff, on
his return to Washington D. C, from
the Hawaiian Islands found a communication from the M-14 Association, requesting his aid and attention
in their work. He immediately left
Washington* and all of the important
items of business which had accum-
, ulated during his long absence, to
1 come and investigate the M-14 situa-
. tion. After a conference with some
j of the directors, he went to Lansing
in company with A. E. Achard for a
conference with Gov. A. J. Grosbeck,
The Governor was at Detroit and Mr.
Eaton proposed to make an appointment, but Mr. Woodruff drove on to
Detroit to make his own appointment
and found Gov. Groesbeck in his Detroit office. The conference was en>
tirely satisfactory and it was agreed
that Mr. Woodruff was to meet with
the Highway officials on Tuesday of
this week and the Governor together
with Mr; Rogers and others are to
drive over M-14 in the very near
future.
Gov. Grosbeck assured Mr. Wood*
ruff that M-14 would be paved along
its present route though Clare and
on the west side of Houghton and
Higgins lakes.
Because of the M-14 Association,
Mr. Woodruff was able to go to the
Governor with an organization be-
hind him which represented the population of the towns and committees
through which our trunk line passes,
Mr. Woodruff advises the directors
to push the work'of the association
and to secure as many members as
possible at the ?1.00 rate.

THURSDAY     AND     FRIDAY     EVE-
NINGS, SEPTEMBER   I0TH AND
11TH ARE THE DATES.
During the days of 1917 and 1918
many thrilling and strange problems
■presented themselves to the men on
tlu Fronts. Can you imajine a battalion (1000 men) marching across
"No-man's Land" and far enough
through the enemy's lines to be entirely cut off from the rest of their
allied forces
Can you imagine them fighting for
•six days and six nights with one
clay's ammunition, "Keeping Fit" on
one day's rations. Imagine, if you
can, the suffering of those men from
the enemy's fire and privation and
then, if you plase, realize the un-
daunting courage of the khaki lads
ancl their officers, who being greeted
by a .blind-folded German lad bearing
request, or rather a demand to surrender, wrote these words, "Go To
H%11" across the paper and sent him
back to his German buddies with his
reply.
At the present time this is the best
picture made of the world war depict-
ing, as it does, the Dough boy, machine guns, aero sciuardron,and even
down to the little carrier pigeon in
action.
The proceeds from this picture
goes to the American Legion Endowment Fund for disabled men and the
orphans of veterans. Thousands of
orphans of our "Buddies" Who made
the Supreme sacrifice, and thousands
of lads who became nervous wrecks,
br a burden to themselves because
