NEWKIRK RODE
TO HEAD COUNTY
FAIR FEAT
First Appearance   of Star
Performers in North
Michigan
The Newkirk Rodeo Company will
occupy the spotlight at the Clare
County Fairgrounds opening August
27, continuing through August 30th,
Through the wide acquaintances of
John W. Dunlop, President of the
Fair, with Rodeo producers stars and
celebrities he has been able to secure the "Col". Charles Newkirk
Rodeo Co., to show lor it's first time
in Northern Michigan. The Rodeo
stock and feature performers will
move direct to the Michigan State
Fair at Detroit.
The Fairgroxmds will take on a
western atmosphere with the chutes,
corrals and catch pens which will be
erected soon. The Rodeo will present
twenty events at each performance
and it will be a fast and smooth running show directed by Col. Charles
Newkirk. New and fresh stock will he
used at each performance with no
two shows alike. Rodeo, said Newkirk,
is big business and ranks sixth in
point of national interest. The name
comes from the Spanish word el
xoderro, the Roundup. And if you
want to know the proper way of pronouncing the word, whether you should
say ro-de-o or ro-day-o with the accent on the last syllable, ask Newkirk and he will answer you in the
manner of the ancients with a story.
"Some time ago," he said, "a newspaper wanted to know the proper pro-

HARRISON-GLADWIN
ROAD HARD SURFACED
DDRING SEPTEMBE
Twenty-foot Oil Aggregate Surface to Be Applied to
County Line
A hard surfacing project'for 12.0S9
miles of highway in Clare, Gladwin
and Roscommon counties/was announced today by Murray D. Van Wagoner,
state highway commissioner.
The program will cost about ?75,000
and will start after Labor Day to
avoid interfering with Summer tourist traffic, said the commissioner.
Bids will be opened Wednesday, August 14, in Lansing. Work will be
completed about October 1st.
Roads involved are:
Clare county—M-61, 8.136 miles of
gravel highway between Harrison and
the Gladwin county line.
Gladwin county—M-61, 1.531 miles
of gravel highway from the Clare
county line eastward.
Roscommon County—TJS-27, 2.392
miles west of Houghton Lake, 1.329
miles of which is gravel today, and
the rest hard surfaced but in need of
repairs.
A 20 foot oil aggregate surface will
be placed over the existing roadway
in these areas, and a mixture of hard
chips will be rolled into the new surface, said Vau Wagoner.
"This will provide a smooth, dust-
less surface that can be easily and
economically repaired if it is damaged by subgrade failure during the
Spring 'break-up'/' said the commissioner.
"We have found that such treatment saves about $400 per mile per
year over the cost of maintenance
of a gravel road, and that such roads
can be resurfaced and repaired at in-
teiwals at comparatively low cost.
"The highway department testing
laboratory has recommended this
method to enable us to spread highway improvement dollars over a larger section without impairing the service given by the roadway."
To avoid (letouring traffice during
the project, one entire side of the
road will be resurfaced before work
Starts on the other side, said Van
Wagoner.
Willard Ireland
Narrowly Escapes
Drowning Tuesday
Willard, the eleven year old son of
Mr, and Mrs, Wilbur Ireland, narrowly
escaped drowning at the Mill Pond
here, Tuesday, while swimming there
with a group of boys. Willard lost his
balance and fell from the top of the
dam, striking his head on some hard
object, thought to be a log, and was
rendered unconscious .as he sank into
the water.
James Chapman, Arthur Johnson,
Jr., and Bernard Wyman, who were
among the boys nearby when the accident occurred, rescued Willard from
the water and brought him to the
Clai-e County General Hospital for
medical attention. Although still suffering lameness In the neck, Willard
is recovering satisfactorily.
Mr. and Mrs, Ireland feel very grateful to the boys who saved their son's
life; and efforts are being made to
secure a life-saving medal for the
boy who dove into the water and
brought Willard to the edge of the
pond, where he was assisted by the
other boys in getting the injured lad
ashore.

STRAITS BRIDGE
AUTHORITY MAKES
RECOMMENDATIONS
Total Cost of the Proposed
Structure Would Be
$26,740,000
The proposal for a physical crossing of the Straits of Mackinac entered a new phase this week with publication of a report by consulting engineers retained by the Mackinac
Straits Bridge Authority.
The report was directed to Governor
Luren D. Dickinson and State Highway Commissioner Murray D. Van
Wagoner. G. Donald Kennedy, chairman of the Mackinac Straits Bridge
Authority, in a letter of transmittal,
concurred in the re commendations of
consulting engineers, Modjeski and
Masters, of Karrisbnrg, Pa,
The report recommended construction of a bridge across the Straits
over the most direct route from a
point southwest of St. Ignace on the
north shore to a point near Fort
Michilimackinac near Mackinaw City.
The structure would include the longest clear span in the world, 4,600 feet,
and is estimated to cost a total of
$26,740,000 including interest while
the project is under construction,
"This report for the first time provides a scientific and factual approach
to the problem of linking Michigan's
two peninsulas," said Kennedy's letter. "This engineering analysis eliminates the guess work which has
surrounded previous approaches to the
problem. Michigan can now proceed

SHERIDAN 4-H BOY
LOSES YALUABLE HEIFER
Robt. Lee Clute, a 4-H boy of
Sheridan township, lost a valuable
heifer last Saturday, cause of death
being hardware in the stomach.
The animal was registered as Butterfly Darlington 2nd, No. M19578&5
and has won many prizes before and
since Robert secured possession.
She w»s Insured through the D*m-
oth Ageiicy.
Harold Loomis, well known ton-
sorial artist, is the possessor of some
very old and rare documents which
were found among the papers of his
father and came into his possession
from an aunt.
Among them is a copy of the Detroit Gazette, published at Detroit
under the date of April 17, 1818. It
is a four page paper of page size
somewhat smaller than the papers of
today and carries countless articles
which are now of unusual interest.
One of them portrays an Indian
massacre by the savages on the southern frontier in which three of four
brothers of one family were butchered; and in another family of nine all
but one met the same fate. Another
article states that a bank cashier ran
away with the most of the banks
funds; and another where a mail train
was robbed by building a fence across
the tracks and the robbers escaping
on the backs of the four horses, which
presumably furnished the locomotion
for the train. The first page of the
paper was covered with advertising,
and incidentally, the subscription
price, in the Detroit area was ?4.00 a
year and the mail subscription rate
?3.50.
He also has a bill of sale 217 years
old, dated in the year of 1723, in which
a negro boy about seventeen years
old, named Jack, was sold. The transfer was from Capt. Samuel Astin Wall
to John Pitts, Brooklyn, Province of
Massachusets Bay, New England, and
the purchase price seventy pounds
sterling  (about ?340).
A $2.00 bill dated 1775 was among
the papers.
The papers though yellowed by
age are well preserved and very legible. When asked what he valued
them at, Harold replied that they were
not for sale.
