Growth of thq Wolsey Mills
Leads to Incorporation
Under State Law.
Moving io New Quarters, this
Industry's Increase Has
Steadily Gone on       •   ,
for Years.
Articles of incorporation were filed
with the secretary of state at Lanslrm
last Saturday for the Olare Knitting
Mills. This institution has heretofore been known as tbe W. Wolsey
Knitting Mills Four years ago it
started in an unpretentious way but
though the enterprise of W. Wolsey
and son, David, kept increasing steadily. Outgrowing its quarters in the
"Wolsey block,* a new site was pro*
cured on McEwan street north. The
old "gospel hall" thereon has been remodelled, an engine house built and
the machinery is now in process of
being moved there. In the spring a
warehouse will be built adjoining and
thus the new location provides for future growth.
The new company organized Monday evening with W. Wolsey, president, L Wolsey, vice president and
D.  A.  Wolsey secretary and treas-
U4.VJ-*
Over 200 people in Clare and surrounding country do work at home
lor the Olare Knitting Mills and a
visit to the offices of the company often finds numbers of them there returning work done and receiving pay
forthesame. During the past year
about twenty two were employed in
the mills which will auain be in running order some time in March.
This is another of our institutions
with the Olare prefix adopted. Let us
have more such labor employing organizations.

Corolla's Out of Debt.
Clare's St. Cecelia's Catholic church
is entirely out of debt for which its
parishoners are both proud and thankful. A year ago the debt was $375
but by 1905 it was. though there isn't
over twenty eight families in the
congregation, reduced to 8115 and that
was promptly m ide up by Wm. Haley
and John Doherty. So liberal have the
collections been that our Rev Fr
Malone donated his Christmas and
New Year's gift back to the church.
Many thanks to him for his kind generosity. May he remain with us is
the wish of his congregation., Many
thanks to outsiders who so kindly
assisted us J. O'G.

Teacher's Examination   Discontinued at the Request of
Supt. P. H, Kelley.
In a letter from Supt. of Public, Instructs P. H. Kelley, addressed to
the«'ommi>-sioner and Board of Examiners for 01 ire county, is found the following;
"Under section 4811 of the School
Laws the board of examiners have
power in their discretion to arrange
for two public teachers' examinations
in June and October. It is my observation that in the majority of cas> s of
the state these two examinations are
entirely unnecessary and if held entail unnecessary expense upon the
people of the county.
"I would,   therefore,   respectfully
urge you to take proper action to
• omit, either the June or the October
•examinati'-n, and in my judgement,
prefe<ably the June examination.    It
is my opinion that arty of-these are
not needed in any county where there
are less than one hundred teachers.
,   I believe it for the best interests of
education and for the taxpayers to
take the action which I have suggested in thi«' letter.
In accordance with the suggestion
there will be hereafter no June exam-
inat'On.
If there are teachers in the cou *ty
wh03e certificates expire in June and
whose schools continue into the summer munthS) this wil make necessary

Organized for  Session's Work.
Gov. Warner and Legislative Leaders Favor
Economy.
Lansing, Jan. 16,1905,
The Forty-second Michigan Legislature has passed its second week, and
is now ready for business. These two
weeks have been devoted to organization and preparation, the selection of
Che necessary officers in the two
bouses, the naming of the committees,
the acquainting of the members with
each other and with their places and
lines of work, and the setting of themselves into such living arrangements
as they find necessary or desirable.
There is a large proportion of new
members, and these preliminanes
have required considerable time.
The distribution of the one hundred
and forty members in appropriate
association upon "the more than one
hundred committees of the two houses
was no small undertaking: and Lbe
general feeling is that it has been
carefully and well done. In several
particulars there has been evident
regard to the wholesome recommendations of Governor Warner's Inaugural
message; and in line with his urgent
suggestions of careful economy in
appropriations is Speaker Master's adherence to his onr proposition not to
place upon a committee on any of the
state institutions a member from tbe
county where the institution is located. This is quite an innovation, but
it may prove to work well, and it
should not be thought an expression
of any unfriendliness to all needful
provision for those institutions that
hold so large a part in the welfare and
the renown of the state. The governor took pains to urge not only adequate support of our educational institutions at the h-tnds of the legislature, but arso such personal interest
in tbe details of th>-ir management as
should promote the best efficiency.
# * * *
In many ways it is happily apparent
that the state government starts off
under hopeful conditions of harmony,
harmony between ,the executive aud
the legislature, between the two
branches of the legislature, between
all the departmenis of the government, and between tne people and
their government. The last condition
is one or peculiar sensitiveness, and
may be easily cemented or alienated.
Conversation with officers and legislators cannot fail to reveal a sincere desire to cement it, by deserving it. If
there is anywhere a lurking purpose
to cheat the, popular expectation for
some wholesome legislation along the
line of primary reform, as some pre
determined critics insist upon believing, it is not apparent, and it would
surely be too weak to be at all effective.
* ■* * «
Primary reform has a wide diversity
of meaning, as the term has been Used
in the last two or three years, in no
two states alike and by no two parties
or factions alike. But, in one phase
or another, it has come more prominently into view, and become the subject of wider discussion, than pephaps
any other question in our politics has
ever done in the same time. Nearly
every state has legislated or is in process of legislating upon it*, and we
may feel assured that our own state
will not be behind her sisters in any
adVauce in that direction that gives
safe promise of bettering conditions.
In Illinois a measure is agreed upon
that will undoubtedly pass, for compulsory primary elections throughout
the state; but it only provides for election of delegates to nominating conventions, and not for nominating of
any officers, quite short of what republican pledges in Michigan have
promised.
The more important appointments
that Gov. Warner has thus far announced have been made, as the governor has speciflcately stated, in recognition of past services well preformed in the case of reappointments
and in the case of new appointments
through expectation that the men. selected are especially capable of giving
excellent services to the state in the
line of official duty for which they
h »ve beta named. Mr. Berry for insurance commissioner, Mr. Atwpod
for railroad commissioner and Gen.
Krdd tor quartermaster general, are
reappointments made by reason of
that long-standing republican custom
Of diving renomibatiODQ when official
duties throughout, the first term have
beatt well rendered. The appoint-
m®&% 62 tfr, MeLea& as labor com
missioner, of Mr. Wildey as salt inspector, of .Mr; Bird as dairy and food
commissioner, as well as Gov. War*
ner's military and various state board
appointments, have met with approving comments from all who personally know the men selected and'
have info rmation touching the duties
they are to perform.
# « * *
A few bills have already been introduced. One, by Representative Waters of Washtenaw, is to deduct from
assessed valuations the amount of
morgage indebtedness upon the property. The subject of morgage taxation has seemed to be a difficult one
for Michigan to deal with; but tbe;
state of Illinois has had in successful
and unquestionable operation for
thirty years, laws under which taxes"
upon morgage values are collected but
once.

VIOLATED HIS PROBATION..
Ross Tolan in Trouble for not
Living up to the Conditions
of His Sentence.
A year ago Boss Toland on a charge
of larceny was under the indeterminate sentence law placed on probation
by Judge Dodds and required to report every three months to Probation
Officer W. S. Cooley. By the terms or
the sentence he was to remain m
Olare or Ogemaw counties and to get
permission to pass from one county to
the other. But he failed to report
and the matter was reported to Judge
Dodds at the assembling of circuit
court last week. A warrant was then
placed in the hands of Mr. Cooley with
instructions to bring the probationer
to the court. He had been located at
Midland but on his return with the
prisoner Thursday Mr. Cooley reported
finding his man at a camp near Preston in Ogemaw county.
The young man claimed he did not
know what was required of him
and that he had not reported to the
Probation Officer simply because he
did not understand it. The facts,
however, show that he had been.taken
into the Prosecuting Attorney's office
and everything fully explained to him.
At least he was lodged in the county
jail at Harrison to await the will of
the Judge at the re-assembling of the
court this week.
The indeterminate sentence law
under which a number of sentences
have in the past year and a half • been
made was enacted by the last* legislature. It provides among1 other things
that the county agent shall be the
Probation Officer ex-officio and hence
Mr. Cooley »is the i officer who has
had the Tolan matter in charge. The
Probation Officer is required to make
report to his circuit court but has no
authority to arrest probationers till
given a warrant by the court.
Bucket Brigade.
Extinguished Fire in Littlefield's
Lumber Yard at Farwell.
Fire was discovered in a pile of
lumber in the Littlefield lumber yard
at Farwell Monday afternoon. Though
too far away to reach by hose, the
alarm was turned in and speedily a
number of willing hands rushed to
the rescue. The engine was drawn up
on the track alongside and a bucket
brigade did good service. This along
with the application of plenty of snow
kept "the flames to the one pile of
lumber. In all about 1,000,000 feet of
lumber were in the yards and the confining of the fire was most fortunate.
Two piles near by were removed and
a part of the pile burned waa saved.
About. 10,000 feet of the finest bass-
wood lumber was destroyed.
The fire caught from sparks from
the Littlefield engine used to haul
logs. Recently a change of fuel had
bet-n made from coal to wood. Later
in the afternoon fire caught twice in
the lumber mill from the same cause
tofc was readily sttingnifened.'
THE LESSON AT HOME
TAUGHT BY 1904.
  - 1
Agricultural Worth of our Country Recognized Now.    "
Individual Enterprise Has Done Much.
Is Public Enterprise Keepiug up?
The series of articles, just, completed in these columns, setting Jforth the
improvements of the past year in
Clare-Northern Isabella show how
marked has been the material development and in part give some idea of
the general betterment of almost all
conditions of life in our midst, all of
which has been achieved in spite of
1904 giving us the most unfavorable
weather crop conditions of many
years. Two years ago when the Sentinel began a series of illustrated articles setting forth the resources of
our country here, many professed
themselves surprised at the agricultural wealth of the land. But so
marked has been the change that
Clare County's excellent showing of
products at the state fair in September occasioned no surprise, but it was
noticeable that as the little pamphlet
made up largely from the cuts the
Sentinel had collected, was distributed at that fair many, very many,
still showed they were in reality just
learning of the possibilities of a section, of the state they had earlier
learned to regard as a barren wilderness.
. Such are some of the facts our people should ponder as they plan for the
future. These facts tell us of pernancy, and tell us this, all the more forcibly, as we consider how country and
town, mutually dependent each upon
the other, have gone forward in development. One fact indicative of how
substantial is the growth is that individual enterprise is far ahead' of
public improvements1 Our streets,
roads and bridges for example have
not reached the same degree of improvement as many of our homes, our
farms and our barns. The individual
has outdistanced the public.
But with the established permanancy
of agricultural wealth of the country
and corresponding enlargement of
town in all its facilities, there seems
to be need for the quickening of public enterprise Something is being
done in,the way of road betterment:
drainage, some of which is regarded
as needless, is being pushed south and
east; but grading and graveling of
Clare's streets, extension of water
mains for many of Clare's streets, improvement of our main roads, leading
to our markets, these and many other
conveniences are needed if the public
is any way to keep pace "with the individual enterprise of our peopl. e

A broken casting put the electric
light plant engine out of commission
Friday night. A new casting arrived
Monday but late Mouday night the
engine rocker arm broke. Frank
Doherty took it to Saginaw Tuesday
morning and the plant was in running
order again for Tuesday night. The
judgment of the electric light company seems to be that the- present
engine is not all it should be and
accordingly Monday ordered a new
235 horse power Corliss engine that
will in a short time replace the one
now doing service. The old engine id
100 horse power and hence it is evident
that with the installing of. the new
engine there will be ample "power for
all purposes which with the new dynamo installed but a few months ago
will enable tbe electric light company
to give its patrons the vory best of
service.    "*' "       "   ~

and is of the opinion that he will recover unless serious internal injuries
develop later on.
