Jolmson Looks Back At
County Surveyor Years
*y
Perhaps the following may be
interesting to a few if not many.
One hundred and seventeen years
ago, one by the name of Henry
Nicholson came, with a crew of
men into the wilderness of Clare
county, which grew principally
to pine timber.
Mr. Nicholson was a surveyor
and under contract he proceeded
to survey the section lines of Surrey township. In 1837 he, following a previous survey made by
the Government, outlined all the*]
townships in the county.
The only way of transportation
was: on foot or pack horse. Men's
pay was $13.00 per month, board
included. They each had a blanket
tp wrap up in. at night. It's been
told that   the   crew   consisted   of
seven men and a surveyor.
f      Going   was   hard   those   days,
<■ much water to contend, with,and
• now and then a mosquito.
At this time Clare and Midland
counties were all together and- divided some time later. It is understood that each township to be
surveyed and laid out in section
lines one mile square. The job]
was let to the lowest bidder on
contract.
. These surveys were completed
•by. the men here named on the
following dates:
Garfield township was Surveyed
by Orson Lyons in 1847; Freeman
township by Orson Lyons in 1848;
Sheridan township, by Wm. A.
Burt in 1850.
Arthur township was surveyed
by Geo. H. Comer in 1850; Grant
township, by Wm. A, Burt in "L850;
Hamilton township, by L. H. Coiner in 1856.
Franklin township, by George
Adair in 1856; Hatton township by
George H. Comer in 1856; Frost
townshijp, hy George Adair in 1856;
Lincoln township by George H.
Comer in 1856.
Summerfield township, by Geo.
Adair in 1856; Winterfield township, by E. Coleman in 1856; Redding township by E. Coleman in
1856; Greenwood, township, toy Geo,
E. Adair in 1857.
Hayes township, by George E.
Adair in 1857, and Surrey township by Henry Nicholson-in 1857.
Subdividing of sections did not
start until several years later
when people 'began to move in to
make their homes here.
The County had several county
surveyors. There is no record of
who they were excepting Mr. W.
W. Harper who was succeeded in
office by Johnson. "Mr. Harper
made some records but not many,
as the books show," Johnson
writes. "Since I have been; in. ofe
fice I have tried to make all records of my Surveys that would interest the .general public".
"I have made hundreds of surveys of small parcels of land and
other lines that would interest
only the individual who employed
me. These I made no official
records of".
The only roads that Clare county
had in the  early days, of settlement were  what was   called the
Ionia and Houghton State roads. I
These were built by the lumber-'
men with.some help by the state.
Starting from Ionia, they ran
north. i
Several branches were laid out
off this line. One was called the4
Farwell state road, one the Clare j
state  road,   and  one  the Loomis'
state road, but all terminated at
Houghton Lake.

"After 1929 through the efforts
of the State Highway Department,
Township and Couny Road Commissions, Clare county excels all
adjoining counties in road build'
ing,
We have about 60 miles of paved
roads, a numiber of miles of blacktop and about 1,000 miles of gravel
surfaced roads and still building
more,        •
We hope this will still go on.
We can match roads, Johnson says
with any county that I know of.
I hope, that this Information may
be'of some interest to the folks in
Clare county.
I wish to thank the electors ot

Steps Aside After 53 Years  as
County Surveyor
Clare county for confidence.in me
to keep me in office all these
years.
All the older ones that started
me out are past and gone, and a
new generation has taken their
place.
"I must say they have all been
loyal to me, and" they are my
friends. If I have any enemies, I
do not know who they are",
"I think you will be pleased
with my successor, W. S. Moore*.
He is a nice agreeable young
man and well qualified for the
office which he is about to assume.
I hope you'll like him."

Safety
Recognition
At CMCE
A safety patrol recognition day
will be held at Central Michigan
College January 22, it was announced today by P. A. Wickstrom
of the Central Michigan Division
of Field Services.
Between Six and nine hundred
safety patrol members from the
six Counties of Gratiot, Isabella,
Osceola, Clare. Montcalm, and
Mecosta are' expected to attend
the meetings for the first of which
will start at 2 p.m.
The event is being sponsored by
Central Michigan College and par*
ticipating agencies are the Michigan State Police, the State Department of Public Instruction and,
the AAA.
Students will.be given recognit-l
ion for their safety efforts during
the year  at the meetings.  They,
will also be guests of the college*
at the Central - Michigan Normal
basketball game.
The heavy suow which blanket-
ed Clare with a soft white, find
somewhat "arctic" look Monday
evening was just, what a couple ot
young sled-happy boys had been
waiting for '" . . and if the thick,
soft snowfall was a little on the
heavy order,, that's just what was
wanted for trying out the Unusual
"toboggan" which Jim Allen, Bon
of Mr, and Mrs. Rex Allen, received for Christmas. .
The "toboggan" which makes
Jimmy and his brother, Bob the
envy of the neighborhood, is a
fourteen-foot pack sled of a style
used by the U. S. Army in Alaska,
and almost exactly like the big
sleds pulled by teams of husky
dogs in arctic snows!
Don't make any mistake about
it, —this is an awful lot of sled!
And this is how the Allen boys
happened to be surprised by such
a present on Christmas morning,
which is pretty much of a good
story, too.
It seems that Jim's apd Bob's
grandmother,-.Mrs. Josephine Anderson, was leading for winter in
the southland some time back, and
she wanted to buy the boys' pres-'
ents before, she departed.,
A war surplus* toboggan caught
her eye* in an advertisement, and
the ord^er was, sent. •
The*    h u g e    fourteen-foot-long*!
package was delivered only scant
hours   before   time   fbr   opening
presents, imagine the. chin-sagging
amazement   of   the   boys'   father
when he tried to open a toboggan, J
and found a huge pack sled with,
ropes,, a  yoke and  gear for har- j
nessing a man to the weighty car-i
go carrier!
The Aliens described the sled as
having sort of "retractable" runners so that the thing slides either on a toboggan surface, or on
the sled runners.
Mrs, Allen thinks the sled is too
heavy and cumbersome for her
two boys to push or pull around
much,.
It has long handles at the back,
like a regular dog sled, but no long
rear runners for the driver to
ride on.  ■
"And a team of Alaskan huskies
would be ALL these boys would
need", their mother said.
All   the   same,   we'll   bet   the
*\^. '.&..* ■*-*< .-'. v
• Stray dogi v.hicli have not yoi learned wh at "Mu.-ih!" -means might possibly learn that
command if this gang of youthful dog-sled drivers can persuade any to put their canine
shoulders to the harness.
The boys are getting the feel of a fourteen-foot Alaskan type sled which Jimmy Allen,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Allen received for Christmas. The "toboggan", when unwrapped, was discovered to be the big sled pictured, and the boys were delighted with the
new and very "different" outdoor sport • equ ipment.
In the picture (1 to r) Johnny Wicklund, son of the John Wicklunds; Hardy Morgan,
son of ihe Earl Morgans; Jinfmy Allen and seated in the sled is Doug Young, son of the
Don Youngs. ■.''.'     . Photo is by Lee Sowle

The fire apparently started from
a faulty electrical socket in the
building. The loss was partly covered with insurance.
Earlier in the evening, the
Seibt's eight-year old son Johnny
had fallen out of the hay mow in
the barn, and br6ke his arm. The
elder Seibt stopped doing chores
and got the youngster ready to go
to the hospital.
The Seibts started for the hospital at about 6 p.m. Jake's brother Ferd came over to finish the
chores, tout did not notice anything wrong when he left. The
Seibt's daughter was in the house.
A neighbor girl, the daughter
of Dewey Wood, planned to spend
the night with the Seibt's daughter. As she started to the Seibt
house, she noticed the glow of the
fire and told-her father. -
Wood notified the Clare and
Coleman Fire departments. Other
neighbors gathered and controlled
the fire until the arrival of the
fire departments. The building
was situated close to the barn and
house and without prompt control
would likely have ignited the other
buildings,
When the Seibts returned from
Mt. Pleasant at something after 11
o'clock that night, they found the
hens killed and the chicken house
burned, but counted themselves
fortunate to still have the 'other
buildings undamaged.

list Industry Eyes Big '55, Will Up Newspaper Ads
In light of the slight decrease in
the state's tourist business during
1954, the Michigan Tourist Coun-
.cil is looking toward 1955 with
restrained 'Optimism despite predictions that it will be one of the
most prosperous years in the nation's history.
Evidence of this "was contained
in a report highlighting the Council's 1954 activities as the official
state agency charged with the job
of advertising attd promoting
Michigan's vacation attractions.
"Efforts to lure dollar-spending
vacationists to Michigan's Water
Wonderland was spearheaded by
% newspaper advertising. This news-
""■- paper impact was the backbone of-
the annual campaign in behalf of
the State's tourist industry.
A total of 780 advertisements in
Michigan newspapers in non-recreational, and city areas, and in
jioighhoring states carried Michi
gan's vacation messages, A special
autumn campaign Was aimed at extending the tourist season,
At Michigan Tourist Council
headquarters, officials- pointed out
that this year's newspaper expenditure was twice as great as in
1953 and nearly five times as
great as the amount spent for this
purpose in 1951.
Supporting the newspaper ad
program was an impressive list
of operations including:
1. Forty-four advertisements in
color and black and white appeared In 24 national magazines, which
had a combined circulation of over;
2D million readers.
2, The Council's news and puh»
liclty program resulted in approximately 1,000 column Inches of editorial matter on Michigan being
used in outstate papers alone. In
addition, over 500 black and whits
pictures and 160 kodachrpmes
were supplied newspapers, magazines, publishers and professional
writers.
3. During 1954, the Council continued to maintain tourist information centers in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Lansing. Staffed
by trained counselors, these offices routed 48,000 vacation families
to Michigan and distributed over
123,000 pieces of Michigan tourist
literature,.
4. In cooperation with Michigan's non-profit tourist associations, "the Council entered three
leading Travel Shows In Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago,' distributing more than 250,900 pieces of
Michigan vacation literature.     ■• ,
5. Two motion pictures - ''Michigan Winter Wonderland" and
"Michigan Water Wonderland" —
were completed in 1954. Through
their use on television in Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Toledo and matty other cities, over
4,000,000 TV viewers were introduced to Michigan's recreation facilities. In addition, thousands of
individuals enjoyed presentations
of the films at social and business
club functions.
6. During 1954, the Council continued to supply conventions, expositions, banks, stores and other
organizations with appropriate display material, bn the basis of specific request, 4,000 ticket offices
and stores throughout the nation
displayed Michigan vacation posters.
.7. A continuation of the Council's
program of tourist research and
analysis saw the conipletian of
two business surveys during 1954.
Both were designed to provide
specific    information    on    *vriiielr
could be base,d advertising and
promotion plans of the Council,
tourist associations and private resort operators.
8. In close cooperation-with the
Tourist and Resort Extension Ser*
vice of Michigan State College,
the Council co-sponsored the Second Annual Tourist and Resort institute in th© spring of 1954 and
continued to aid directly in the
Tourist and Resort Extension Service's program of supplying members of Michigan's tourist industry
with information On every phase
of resort management and operation.
9. Lastly, in Cooperation with
other state agencies, the Council
continued ; to stress the development of non-expendable tourist
attractions to allow de-emphasis
on tho promotion Ox" Michigan's
exhaustible resources*     .
Said Furlong: "Nation-wide competition in the tourist industry has
progressed to such an extent that
it is no longer logical to believe
that boom times . in general will
result in a boom year for Michigan's tourist "business. Unless
Michigan begins to at least keep
pace with the advertising corpora*
tions of other states and territories
there is litlte reason to believe that
its tourist industry will continue to
pace with the advertising of other
States and territories, there is
little reason to believe that its
tourist industry will continue to
expand at the same rate it did
prior to last year. Boom times or
no boom times, surveys disclose
that the states reaping the greatest harvest of tourist dollars are:
those who are constantly increas
ing their advertising expend*'
tures,"

Compressor
To Boost Gas
Line Capacity
A,huge engine and,gas pumping
plant being assembled';and completed for installation, in,the Hamilton township oil and.gas field in
northeast Clare county, is attracting considerable ; attention" while
undergoing final fabrication at
Francis Loomis Welding Shop on
East Fourth Street.       '."'.."
The unit, built by Cooper-Bessemer, in Mt, Vernon,, .Ohio," *is in
Loomis' shop for .completion of
welded structure and "interstage
piping" before being hauled to location.
The engine driven compressor is something or a cariosity
io those not familiar with such
gas  equipment   for   two  rea- ,
sons:  the colossal dimensions',
of the two cycle V-S.engine,0
and 2.)   the  unique' assembly,
which Bob Pinaire says! combines all gas compression and
engine-cooling facilities in one
portaoie    stud-moumea    unit,
which can be moved as needed
to serve gas production areas
where excess gas is piped to
a, sales line.
Pinaire is Michigan Superintendent of Gas Plants for Sun Oil
Company, owner of the unit.
The engine bears a striking resemblance to a -y-8 engine under
the hood of some* automobiles. The
shape is the. same arid "the f"#inci»
pie of -internal combustion is similar. .    ,       ,'-...■
But comparing size is something
else. The monstrous bulk, of tbe
pumping engine will exceea thirty-
five tons when finished. It reposes on heavy steel "P* beams for
skids, and is presently mounted
on cribbing of timber atoout -twenty' inches through while being assembled. ■.
The engine's air filter which appears something like the Shaptf of
the same attachment on your cAr,
is .under a 'Case 32 .fncnes acrOss
and S-'Smallpersbri'could'possltoiy
slide through the pohderOUs "cylinders which have ID-inch inside
diameters. •"■"'..-.
Casinghead gas .from -Richfield
formation oilwells is .gathered, ahd
compressed by the unit, and then
discharged into Dow's line with
Marshall-Stray formation' gas. being produced in the same area. •
The operation of raising gas
pressure, wnich is tne compressors purpose, is necessary
to build up pipe line pressure
to force gas into lines for delivery to Dow at Midland.
Pinaire explained that two-
stage pressure raising brings
the gas from twenty pounds or
less at inlet, to 400 pounds or
more at the discharge.
The West Hamilton Field- six
miles northeast of Harrison is producing about two million feet of
gas per day. The new unit is designed to handle this volume and
more, up to a capacity of 3 million
cubic feet' daily.
Moving at only 400 revolutions
per minute, the engine develops
horsepower. The unit being replaced by the new pump Was rated
at only 150 h.p, and was unable to
accomodate all the gas produced
at the field.
An unusual radiator assembly
is .part of the unit. About 10 by 8
feet, the radiator has a multi-purpose of ;Cooling engine water, cooling compressor jacket water,
cooling the gas itself which becomes heated when compressed,
and cools the lube-oil used in the
unit.
Fuel for the engine is the combustible gas which it is pumping
and automatic controls prevent
damage to the machine from overheating or -mechanical failures;
Shut-offs are provided.
Loomis, who has had previous
welding contracts on compressor
plants for" gas pumping at Sun's
Enterprise and St. Helen's fields*
says the unit will toe finished in
his shop soon, and then will be
skidded on to existing foundations
where the old unit is now located.
