ROAD MEETING,
By Laws Adopted  with Mayor
Mulder President of Boosters' Club.
The- meeting Monday- evening tp
complete the organization of the
Olare Board of Trade was largely attended and the details of adopting
by laws worked out to tbe satisfaction ot all with Mayor Mulder president, A, E. Oanfleld secretary and
43eo. B. Benner treasurer for the
year.
The by laws as 'adopted delegate
power in five directors elected yearly
the second Tuesday of each January
who organize and elect their own officers. The membership fee is placed
at 81 per year. The by lawB may be
amended at any regular meeting of
the organization.
Mayor Mulder called the meeting
to order and the report of the committee on by laws was read by Secretary Oaniield. After talks by several gentlemen the bylaws was adopted
by unanimous vote.
A general discussion of future possibilities brought ont the directors'
•plans to advertise judiciously and for
that purpose a picture of McEwan
street fairly crowded with teams on
a dull February day (last Saturday) j
was shown from which a cutts to be
made for getting the picture for circulation.
It was broqght out that while there
are already some possible propositions in sight for labor employing industries it is the part of wisdom to
go slow and be sure of every step of
the ground before putting in any
money for promoting the location of
industrv in Olare.
One significant fact is that of the
first ten paying up their dues eight
were laboring men who own their
homes in the city. In every way the
outlook is most encouraging and it is
expected that with 160 now enrolled,
there will soon be a membership of
300 united for Glare's future development.

[State Gomr. Ely   and   Deputy
Rogefs at Opera House in
Clare Next Wednesday.
The good roads institute at the
Doherty opera house in this city
next Wednesday- is - designed as a
meeting of education for ways and
means of securing good roads. The
township road commissioners of the
county will be present, more espeial-'
ly for the morning session, .and. the
afternoon session is expected to be
largely attended. The gathering is
intended to secure a general understanding of road laws just as they are
so that knowing the facts the voter
may vote the more intelligently on
the adoption or rejection of the feoun-,
&y road system at tbe April election.
The addresses will mainly deal with
the general principles of road building and the present laws but questions will bring out the ' practical
workings of the county road system
as applied to tbe varying conditions
of a county like ours.
There are many, especially in the
newer parts of the county where
roads have not yet been opened, who
believe that the old path master system is much better for them. Such
opinion .should find expression so
that the state highway department
may become conversant witb conditions just as they are.
In the divergence of opinion as to
Ojare county roads, all points of view
as to the county's needs should be
asserted at the meeting after a clear
statement of laws and principles has
been made so that the report of the
meeting to go out into the county
shall be a statement of the general
facts and opinion as it is. The program follows:
Meeting will open at Doherty opera
house at ten o'clock a. m., the remainder of the forenoon being devoted to an informal discussion with
the highway commissioners present,
of the technical side of road building.
State commissioner Ely will be in
charge.

Good Figures.
Lansing, Mich. Feb. 14.—Deputy
Land Commissioner Carton and Supervisor of State Trespass Munshaw,
who have just returned from attending a sale .of state tax homestead
lands in Isabella county, report that
the one-day sale there was one of the
best ever held in the state and that
upwards of 88,000 worth of land was

acre. This is far in advance of tbe
prices which were secured a few
years ago, when S1.13 per acre waa a
good figure, '
The state nOw has 800,000 acres of
land tbat can be used for forest reserve purposes, and about 300,000
acres unfit for agricultural purposes.

entitled to vote on all  questions involving directly  the expenditure of
money.   Such a question will be vot-

I tion of women taxpayers. Here is

mittad to a vote of the electors which

the district or territory to be affected

Last week the supreme court reversed the case of tbe Starr Piano
Co. vs. J. W. Morrison, which was
tried in the Isabella circuit court and
in which a verdict was rendered in
favor of Mr. Morrison. The case
was appealed and the Supreme court
sustained the contentions of the contentions of the piano company and reversed the case.
This case settles the law in Michigan regarding the right of persons
dealine with agents more closely
than ever before.
F. J. Ray of Ithaca, a piano agent
and agent for the Starr Piano Company, traded a piano which had been
consigned to him for sale, to Mr.
Morrison for a piano which Mr.
Morrison then owned. Ray failed to
settle With the piano company for the
piano and tbe company, through its
attorneys, H.A. Sanford and F. H.
Dodds, replevied the piano of Mr,
Morrison. The agect, Bay, had no
ahthority under his contract to trade
or exchange pianos. F. O. Walling-
