SALINE'S NEW FACTORY
Will Use Considerable Timber Grown
hi This Vicinity.
The much talked, of handle factory,
whilch was agitated here more than
a year ago, did not reaich •completion
until earily this £ alii, -when it opene
up with n new building nearly COO
feet in length, and fully equipped
with up-to-date .machinery for handle making in all the different styles
aad kinds.
This concern known as the Manchester Handle "Factory of Saline is
in charge of Thomas M. Schurtz,
who is possessed of a thorough
knowledge of handle making and
other articles of a similar kind.
The factory enuploys at present
eight men, and Miss Ruth Needham
as bookkeeper and office assistant.
The special machinery consists of
one large spoike lathe capable of
turning otut 100 dozen hammer han-
handfes per -day and two smaller
ones. The other machinery is lairge

Tihe shop is -opeirated wholly b.v
electric power, v30-*, 10-, 7- and 3-
horse power motors being used.
At present the out-put is being
made from Tennessee white hickory.
"Oaring the winter Mr. Shurtz plains
to purchase timber in this section.
Liarge orders* are now being filled
for" Detroit, Toledo, and Jackson
which are being delivered hy truck,
while other lots are going to Pennsylvania, California and other states.
The factory is located on Bennett
street, beyond the Saline Mercantile
Company's 'buildings and is a credit
not only to Saline, but to Mr. Shurtz,
j-bhe owner, 'fair the fine work turned

Erection of the University oof
■Michigan's new 'football stadium
'.which 'Will =seat :70;GffO -persons and
will be ready for the referee's whistle in the fall of 1927 is progressing
rapidly. The latest type of excavating
machinery is gouging deep into the
side of a hill selected as the best
available site for the stadium and
workmen are busy erecting the rows
of reinforced concrete columns on
massive foundations.
•The new staiijm will be in the
shape of a rectangular bowl, the
seats on trie ,i 'ps being nar-'llel with
the side lines of the playing fieM
and tkose on the ends bung parallel
with the goal lines.
As the bawl is being built on the
side i f the hill, it will be sunk into
the ground and entrance from the
west, s.'.uth and north will be effected t*v\ r the top from th" high side
;-f the hill. Entrance from the east,
the down hill sl<pe, will be by
-licmw of tunnels a**proxiniate-ly
two-thinds of tbe the way up.
.'.Tore than 40 acres have already
"been rurchas'.ul "by the Bo:*.!'." of
Control of Athletics- for the *uew stadium site '\\hic-.i :.-* considered ideal
fi»m a transi*t>rtation st.m "paim.
Main highways a,*pr a.h it fri.m *.ll
directions. It is close to the main
line nf the Ann Arl:or Vailro d fro a
win h side tracks may be constructed so 'divert passenger trains to the
stadium.
To purchase the Fite, erect the
stadium an-d tother buildings devoted
to the advancement of athletics aid
physical education generally among
the student b -S>, the Boar J auth -jj-iz-
ed the issuance of 3,000 Stadium
b nds cf tiie denomination of $500
each. All alumni and citizens of the
state of M-"iciugan may purchase these
bonds and they are beins* snapped
up  in tntse "hurry up" style.
The bonds carry an unusual privilege: tliat of purchasing cwo tickets fir seats, between the 30 yard
lines for each bond owned. This
p: ivilege is ■. oo.d fo * ten yerrs, 1 e-
ginning with the season of 1S.27, for
h me games only. As there is an
avenge nf five home ga.mes . each
-•Season, the bond holder may purchase approximately 100 tickets in
the ten year period for each bond
i>wneid.
Completion of the new stadium is
certain to increase th? already in-
ic--eased demand for tickets for each
big home game. This has been the
history of all new stadia. Ohio increased its) seating capacity by 52,-
0*0 and Illinois by 55,000. Michigan
has played twice in each stadium
and each time every seat has been
sold and' thousands of applicants
were disappointed.
Dedication of Michigan's new stadium jnd the pivootal games next
fall are sure to bring out crowds far
beyond' any ever seen here. It is
probable that t ere will be a t'emand
for at; least 125,000 tickets for the
dedicatory^ game. If so, 55,000 will
t-e disappointe**-, but not the owner
-l a Stadium Bond. He or she "will
-it pretty," as the saying goes, be-,
tween the thirty   yard lines.
CK-ivincing proof of the popularity
of Michigan's football teams is fur
nished by the fact that the Board ot
Control of Athletics was icampell'ed
to return $75,000 ta disappoinfceid
ticket apiplications on September first
of this year, six weeks before the
first game .got into actac-n.
Already 'there is cosiderable speculation as to J. ichigan's opponent for
the dedication program of the new
.stadium. Although that game "is a
year .distant, inquiry is already being mad© as to the name of the university and the possibility of getting
tickets for 'that particular contest.
In all 'proobab'ility Ohio will draw
this privilege.

THE DBTRJOIT EDISON CO.
The first 'survey of the first definitely h,cafed highway in Michigan
occurred ju&t one hundred years ago,
on September 7, 1826. That load, on
exactly the same route, is now being
c .mpleted through our village of
Jonesvillle in the modern Michigan j
way. |
This highway had it3 origin in the;
measures of    Rev.   Gabriel Richard, j
then delegate  form the   territory  of j
Michigan   to  Congress.     There   were j
then no roads    in  all    of Michigan, •
not .ling hut trails.    He was the pio- j
neer of roads for Michigan.   His first'
petition to Qongiess of December 10,
1S23, was for  assistance for the 'construction off  a road from Detroit to
Ft-rt Meigs, now Toledo.   His petition
of December 30, 1825,, was for a road
from Detroit to Mt. Qlemiens and on-
waiid to what is now Port Huron.  He
solicited   the   proceeds   for  the   road
from Detroit    to the    county of the
Saginaws   and   from   Detroit   to   the
Grand River.    Truese are all integral
and  basic  sections of  our  Michigan
road system.
His most important and daring
road project was that 'contained in his
.motion of March 2, 1824, when the
Cimimittee on Roaos ana Canals of
the House was instructed to investigate the cost o|f a road 'from Detroit
to Chicago. On January 2S, 1825,
Henry Clay introduced him to the
House to plead his cause. The sum
was granted by the House on February 2, 1825, and by the Senate a
month later. The I ill was signed by
President James Monroe.
This survey was carried on during
the fall and the next s.umm-&r. It
was c&mipleted September 7, 1826, so
that we are now on the eve of the
centennial. This roadway, wide
enough to permit wagon travel, was
to penetrates a vast and little known,
•wilderness, connect Detroit with
Chicago and open 17,000,000 acres of
virgin  territory to settlement.
Today, in 1926, almost to a day a
full century later, Michigan has, finished the last link of a trunk highway, M-23, a modern hard-surfaced
roadway which faithfully follows the
ancient route laid out In good old
plonerr days by Gov. Lewis Cass and
his engineers.
U is a far cry from our present
100,000,000 modern concrete highway
system back through the century to
the day Gabriel Richard stood ber
fore the Congress ol the United
States and pleafied for an appropria-
t?o:i for Michigan's first highway.
He was the first to vision the need
of highways if Michigan was to grow
and   develop.
Although as a delegate for two
sessions hie sponsored many things
he delivesred: only one speech on the
fla©'. This was an appeal for a
highway. His speech still stands in
text and "in wisdom as the eulogy of
the gpod road. In the first year in
Washington he laid the groundworks
for the highways that Congress was
to grant him the following year.
The second session oif Congress
opened December 6, 1824, and on
Januai-v 28, 1825. t**e House met as
- (.ommit'ee to ■ uth rize the survey
of the Detrait-Chi/engo highway.
Henr; C!a -, whp was he Speaker, h.-
vittd Gabriel Richard to furnish
Congress with the facts concerning
the road 'bill. He pointed, out the
■great iro^ "rtance of .road building as
an aid in the expansion of national
g.ve nment.- He declared that the
Detroit-Chicago road should be bu:It
immiedifitely. while J.ichir an wrs sti!"
a territory, because it would open a
new section, to develop and result in
the increased saie .of land, the pro-
(.~pfifl rao-f whi *h woa'd go into the national t'.'e-sury. When Michigan became a state and hvr~- an in :rp**ndent
■ c:v r m nt. the proceeds of land
sales WQ-ald go into the stat" treas-
•***>* and thus the gwrrnment would
lose an important source <*f -rvcniT*
'if ihe ro:*.ii wor'i wa' d la- d. The ro-
-.i sed rcute wnuld connect the cast
v. ith the west, and with the completion of the Grand Cmal of New Y rk
lit* July of the c niiing year w.ould *ive
l';e cast rn --eab ar di-ect communication with Chicago. The proposed
hl*-:hway was -of vital importance from
rulitary standTOints, and he recalled
the disasters of the American oause
in the War of 1812, when many lives
aad from ten tii twelve million dol-
'sb of United States property were
lost :in the Blr-ek Swamp bscause of
lack of reads. He declared it was
time Congress "built roadi"1 to avoid
s-ieh losses in the future.
He further- ecl-ared that in the territory between D iroit and Chicpg)
were 17,000.000 pic-e.= of lam1, in *h**
northwest teTito v 94 OOfi-OOO acres
more of w* i-.-h the route would be an
outlet. With the road completed it
w-\uld double in value and would be
lapidly purchased by settlers from the
east. It is interesting to recall that
his idea of increase was one frrm
fl.25 to $2 50 per a<-r*-. T ere are : t
least 150 brats sailing the Grea+
Lakes, bringing m*n, women and
children ami their horses, cattle and
poultry, together with chattels, to Detroit where they are seeking land
on which to farm and live. They are
disappointed when they learn that
there are no roads into the rich territory where they hoped to establish
homes.
If C'*.ngre s au'horized the road and
apportioned the money, full authority ;
should be    given  G vernor    Cass to:
make    the survev    and handle    the :
funds.     He ixdnted out that Governor
Cass   had   often   traveled   the   route.
-•nd knew it well, and that he had at;
l.-*.*i.sf  twenty  i,os;;,*"---t'r*   "i" * "yors  at
his command. Th^ President, not being
from Michigan,  was not as well in-!
formed as to    tlr needs    and would

; era house Saturday evening, Novem-
! ber 6, at 8 o'clock.
