Sunken   Logs Taken  from the
■   Lake at Dodge Recalls the
Once Hustling Vil lage.  •
Fred lister and Alderman Dwyer of
trtiis olt? having purchased the sunken
ioga ia the lake on the east part o'f
section nineteen, Hamilton township,
have a number of men at the job of
wmovlng them, and a mill sawing
them up into lumber. The wo»k will
not be completed before the lake
freezes "up but will be resumed In tne
spring, Several hundred thousand
feet of logs are expected to be removed,.
The work is In progress where in
the eighties stood the hustling village
of Dodge with its electric lights, saw
and planing mills and all the accom-
paning hustle of a lumber town. Orla
Barnes of Lansing was in those days
a big investor in timber interests
there. Tbe village was lull of activity and there were those who predicted a future for it. A branch rai'ro-id
extended to it from Hatton.
Now all is changed. Unlike the
"Village of the Plain" there isu't
even a deserted house to mark where
once stood ihe "Sweet Auburn" of
picturesque lumber days. Here, and
there may be seen a little hole in the
ground where once was a cellar, but
everywhere now the ungainly stumps,
with an occasional clearing nob far
away, keep silent w itch over scsaes
of early day activity.

Mary L. Gorr cf Vernon Bids
Final   Adieu   to Friends
at the Age of Seventy-
seven.
After a short illness of bronchial
pneumonia Mary L. Gorr departed
this life at her home in Vernon Tuesday November 13. Deceased was born
at Brandenburg Germany March 16,
1829, being 77 years of age at the time
of her demise.
Her family moved to Mt. P.easant
in 1869. Two years later the husband
and father died leaving her with six
children to endure the hardships of
pioneer life alone. The same year she
moved on the farm where she has
since resided. Hers was a true christian character always ready to do a
kindness and to sympathize with these
around her. Four children are left
to mourn her loss. Mrs. John Duncan
SVank and Will Gorr of Vernon and
S. B. Gorr of Glare.
The funeral was held from the home
Thursday, Rev. G. W. Maxwell
preaching the sermon. The floral off
erings were beautiful, showing the.
high esteem in which she was held.
A large number of friends followed
her to her last resting p'ace beside
her daughter in Farweli cemetery.
The Cadillac high school football
bays played the return game here Friday alternoon and at the end of tbe
game the local school team had crossed their opponents goal fourjiimes and
kicked goal three times,
At tbe kick off Cadillac looked a
winner, threatening to run the Olare-
ifces off their feet. Bub they steadied,
got the ball and then soonwent down
the fie'd for a touch down. The
Ulare back field did good work and
the whole team pub up a good snappy
article of ball. Pelton ploughed up
the line, Doherty delivered some
spectacular wide end runs and Stone
delivered the goods with short end
pluggers while DeVogt ran the team
well. The line too was good including little Jackson at centre.
At Cadillac the same team defeated
our boys 6 to 5,

Clare Woman Gives Her First
Impressions of Uncle Sam's
Eastern Lands.
Dagupan, P. I. Oct. 6 '0a.
My dear foiends,
nAfter a few weeka of rest since our
arrival in the Islands, 1 will endeavor
to give you a description of our journey. «
We left Seattle the 25th of July on
the Minnesota, a very large and splendidly enuipped steamer. We had a
merry party of passengers on board,
and fair weather all of the way across.
It was rather cold as our course lay
nearly as far north as the Aluetian Islands.
Everything possible was planned for
our entertainment—athletic contests
and games for the deck and plenty of
music and reading matter indoors
We arranged soolal evenings, concerts
and lectures by some of the consuls
and missionaries on board, and with
the entire absence ot seasickness our
voyage to Yokahama was one round ot
pleasure.
We reached the harbor of Yokahama the 8th of Augusb, a beautiful
harbor, indeed, with its green shores
and majestic old Yujlyawa looming
up iu the distance. In this port and
vicinity we spent five days in sight
seeing. The sea port towns are not
S3 purely Japanese as the inland
towns as many buildings are of foreign
style and the shops cater to the tourist trade. The streets are lined with
the two wheeled jinrlkishas, the Oriental carriage*, and it is great sport Jbo
ride in them. The little rikisha men
will run for miles without apparent
fatigue It is said that they live only
about six years after entering that
business.
A day in Tokyo, a typical Japanese
city showed us the real Japanese life
in many phases.
The parks of this capital city are
verv beautiful. In one we found a
genuine ''Midway" with its numerous
attractions, theatres, and bazaars,
and its^throngs of gayly dressed people.
On all sides were beautiful green gardens, lagooos, fountains, pagodas,
towers and temples.
The world famous temples of Nikko,
Kamakura and Kyoto can hardly be
described, they are so different from
anything in America
At Kamakura, th« ancient capital
of the Shoguoo (officials who at one
time really had^ all power while the
office of emperor wa9 merely an" empty title) we saw temples of the Shinto
type sevenhundred years'old. Shinto
worship, or ancestry worship bas been
replaced by Buddhism, so the later
temples are of a different type though
quite similar on tbe exterior.
" At Kamakura also, we s iw a colossal
statue of Buddha, fifty feet high and
nearly a hundred in circumference.
It is really a.hideous thing and a pitiful sight to see the people bow down
to it.
At the entrance to every shrine
there is a square arch or torli in each
side of whioh sits a hideous image,
•life size, looking more like a horned
demon than a beneficent god. Papers
purchased from the priests on which
their desires are written are made
into spit balls and hurled at the face
of the god If they stick fast their
wishes will be granted..
From Yokahama we went by rail to
Kobe, thus getting a splendid view
of the country. Never was anything
more picturesque! The sky is such
an azure blue, the rice fields such a
fresh areen and the rivers and lakes
so crystal clear that one would think
it alia fairy land.
Kyoto which we 'visited on our way
to Kobe was the capital of Japan from
ancient times un till 868. Ibis full of
temples, all different and still very
much alike. Here also are the Imperial museums and palaces of the ancient emperors
The shops are simply fascinating.
One wishes for a mint of money to
spend in them. They h*iVe such exquisite china, beautiful embroidery
and drawn work, works of art in lacquer, cloisonne, damascene and sotsuma
wares.
We visited the factories wuere these
things were made and saw many of
the best artisi s of Jap-in :tt work.
In cloisonne work, a d^igo is made
on silver or copper foundation, then
outlined with a fine flat wire of pure
go'.d set on edge in glue. The design
is then painted and fired again and
again until it is entirely fllled in and
then polished with twelve different
stones. Each new color added needs
a separate firing. The setting of the
wires on intricate patterns is very
delicate work Imagine the artist
setting the petals of a daisy that was
Cjiatlaued Hest Week.     ' .
DOHERTY FOR RMLROAD
GAMMiSSiOHER?
The Senator Does Not Confirm
the Story That He  is to. Succeed Atwood.
The story published In the Detroit
Free Press this week that Senator
Doherty is slated to succeed T. W.
Atwood as railroad Commissioner is
not confirmed by the Senator, In an
Interview yesterday he said;
"Railroad commissioner eh? Well
that's news, But the fact is I've never had a word ot conversation with
the Governor on that matter,"
"Why," he added, '•I'll tell you what
lam particularly interested in just
now, my new barn. It's going to be a
pretty good one too.6 Besides I've got
some plans too I'd like to see carried
out for the building up Clare. Politics is pretty interesting, yes slr-ee,
but I think I'll devote a little time
now to business."
However and notwithstanding, folks
hereabouts don't expect the Senator
will disappear from the political arena
yet a while.
Horan-Murphy Nuptials.
At the St. Henry's church In Vernon
Wednesday occured the marriage,
Miss Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Horan and James, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Murphy. To the
strains, of Wyman's wedding march
the bridal party entered tbe church
and took their place at the altar where
in the beautifully impressive service
Fr. O'Connell spoke the words pledging them to each other for life.
Mies Sophia, siBter of the bride,
was bridesmaid and Joseph, brother
ot the groom, best man. The bride
was most becomingly gowned in white
sublime and her going away suit was
wine colored silk panama. The bridesmaid wore Alice blue silk.
A wedding breakfast was served to
the seventy-five wedding guests at the
home of tbe bride's parents, and there
indeed joyous good cheer reigned supreme. iThe decorations were green
and chrysanthemums.
Subsequently the newly wedded
couple left for a wedding trip to
Grand Ripids and other points On
their return they will go to housekeeping in the new nome on his farm east
of the city. Both Mr. and Mrs. Murphy
are popular for their real worth.
They have always ranked as among
the very best of our young people and
now it Is with only goo,d wisl and besb
wishes from all that they set up
another home in the community and
share in the joy and development, as
well as bhe darker side of life perad venture, as it comes to us of us. Many
fine presents were evidences of kindly
regard.
November Apportionment of Primary School Money.
Last week there. wa,s given the amount of primary money apportioned to
each district for the present year of 1906. Herewith is given the actua
amounts, as furnished the SkntiufI/ by tbe county treasurer, thab are distributed to bhe townshins for the respective scbool districts therein, It will
be noticed that Summerfleld received none aqd Arthur and Frost only a part
of the entire amount due at $11 per capita. This is due to certain districts
not having had^8Chool for the full five months required by law or other
non-compliance with state law. The department of public Instruction bas
kept Cjmr. Welch for Clare county and Oomr. Graham for Isabella county
on the jump getting bonds for district treasurers straightened out and
securing correction to district annual reports. In Olare county alone thirty
reports were returned to district for corrections,   "
In Isabella county every district gets its full amount, as published last
week in these columns, Every district a year ago had at least five.months of
school and in every other way complied with, tbe requirements of the state
department of education in matters that would affect the primary fnnd distribution. In Olare county with one or two new districts and less than five
months of school in one or two cases, a few districts "get no primary money,
Hence only the figures for Olare connty are giving herewith:
