GRAVEL Men STREET.
AU Honor to' Wm. Haley for
Taking the Initiative-Council Takes Action.
The individual enterprise of Wm.
Haley in graveling' Clare's main street
adjacent to his property has already
brought such results that the graveling of the entire street seems assured
this summer. At the rate Mr. Haley
has been able to do the work, the cost
will be about $175 per block for hauling gravel. This However, does not
include cost of grading nor cost of the
gravel, ten cents per load, and gives
gravel an average of nearly six inches
thick. The actual cost to him of grading and graveling the street on two
sides of his house as it nowis was nearly $70, not including his own work.
The graveled area is equivalent to ten
linear rods of McEwan street at that
point.
The city council Wednesday ordered
the board of works to prepare plans
and estimates of graveling McEwan
street. The plan is to form a special
assessment district and tax a certain
percent to abutting property 'owners,
the rest to be assessed against the
city at large.
Is Drain Law Constitutional?
Judge Beach of Saginaw circuit
court has rendered a decision that a
county drain law similar to the new
law recently enacted for Clare, Isabella and twelve other counties is unconstitutional.
Certain petitioners for a county
drain filed a petition in circuit court
to compel the county drain commissioner to proceed with construction of
a ditch in Albee and Maple Grove
townships under the general state
law. He makes answer that the regulations made by the county board of
supervisors, requiring that one-third
of the owners of lands to be affected
have not signed the drain petition and
that a majority of the two township
boards have not approved the application, have not been complied with and
that therefore he has no jurisdiction
to act thereon.
Judge Beach's opinion is that the
board of supervisors have no power to
make laws. He asserts that under
Section one of article four of the state
constitution legislative power in Michigan is vested in a senate and house
of* representatives and cannot be
delegated to boards of supervisors and
hence the special drain law is null and
void1. He held also that the regulation of the Saginaw county board of
supervisors requiring one-third of the
"owners of lands liable for drain assessment must sign a petition before any
action can be taken is deficient in not
providing ways and means for deter-
" mining lands to be affected and hence
thejregulation is void. Similarly be
points out other flaws relative to lack
of authority to fix assessment districts
and therefore orders the drain commissioner to proceed with the drain
petitioned for as provided under the
general state law.
This is only the opinion of one judge
but as it is the first of the kind yet
rendered it is of interest. The case
may be appealed to the supreme
court.
The McEwan creek drain controversy In Clare county is so far settled
to the satisfaction of all concerned
that no question will be raised. In
Isabella county, however, itis possible
that action similar to that in Saginaw
county may be taken. In fact since
learning of Judge Beach's decision
there is on the part of some desiring
a drain in the northern part of the
county some talk of pushing the .matter in a similar way unless they get
what they wish.

uecessfu! Eighth Graders,
JSow that the teachers of the district schools have had set, through
the Superintendent of Public Instruction, a standard by which they are to
judge the efficiency of their eighth
graders, many of them have come to
the conclusion that pupils have in
many schools been pushed along without having well done the work in the
various grades leading up to. the
eighth, and are doing more thorough
work. This was shown from the fact
that this year of* the forty-eight who
wrote on the state eighth grade examination in Clare county—all rural pupils—thirteen successfully passed the
examination, while last year, the first
time the examination was conducted
by the board of examiners and^ the
papers looked over by that board, not
one of the entire number was able to
pass the examination. While this
was a decided change over the loose
way in which the examination was
heretofore conducted all over the
state, and while many "were the disappointed candidates, the effect was a
good one not only upon the applicants
themselves, but upon the various dis
trict school teachers. They went at
the work last fall many of them with
a determination to get their pupils so
far advanced that even though the
examination should be as hard as it
was last year, their pupils would be
able to pass. The papers show that
about half of the whole number writing on this examination were fair to
good seventh graders who had been
pushed along and put into eighth
grade work, while one or two might
find fifth or sixth grade work somewhat difficult. The standing required by the department now. is an
average standing of eighty per cent,
with a minimun of seventy per cent.
This is higher than is required for
passing a third grade certificate,
which in many counties is seventy-five
per cent, with a minimun of from seventy per cent.
One of the encouraging features for
the rural boys and girls is that the
boards of education in Clare and Harrison have offered tuition free for the
year next following the examination
to the pupil passing the highest average in the respective classes, and the
probabilities are tha tat thelirst meeting of the board in Farwell they will
decide —.offer a scholarship also. The
pupils receiving these scholarships in
the various towns are:
Cleona Runyan, Clare; Thomas
Holmes, Harrison; Elsie Buss, Far-
well.
Below we give the name, district,
teacher, of the successful applicants,
in order of standing, the highest first,
except,in case of the last three named,
the average standings of which were
the same:
Elsie Buss, Grant No. 3, Fred Morgan.
Thomas Holmes, Greenwood _"o. 2,
Methvan Brown.
Cleona Bunyan, Grant No. 6, Joseph
Bowler.
.Florence Smith, Grant No. 1, Flora
Babcock.
Mable Frary, Greenwood No. 2,
Methvan Brown.
Pearl Weeks, Frost No. 2, Anna Eb-
erhart. '

McNamara.
Mary Leitner, Arthur No. 6, A.
Floyd Johnson.
Coral Cadwell, Bedding No. 2, John
F. Brown.
Meta Gilmore, Grant No.. 3, Fred
Morgan.
It is highly probable that the three
town and city Schools above mentioned will offer scholarships again next
ing year, and if so who will be
the winners? You boys and girls who
did not quite come up to the mark
should not be discouraged, but start
in next September with the idea of
winning. Diplomas will be sent out
as soon as they can be printed and
signed by the proper authorities.

Most Rapid Development,
Two years ago three Myers brothers, Frank M , Jacob P., and W. E.,
formerly from Ohio moved to Clare
county and bought between them 840
acres of what then seemed a waste,
but all of which is developing into
first class farms, in Arthur township.
Besides the land, they had some capital to invest in improvements. A
Sentinel reporter took dinner with
W. E. Myers last week and was surprised that in so short a time those
cheerless slashings could be so transformed. They now have about eighty
acres cleared and each has buildings
as follows: W. E., gambrel roofed
bank barn 40x40 and two story house
16x28 and 16x18; J. P., barn 18x36 and
house 16x26 and 14x20; F, M., barn
21x42 and house 16x24 and 12x20; all
painted and fixed up in first class
shape with other buildings to correspond. In talking with Jacob Myers
we found the secret of their success
lies in first having a strong desire to
make homes for themselves, and then
the brain power and brawn to execute
these ideals. Clare county owes much
to these progressive, sturdy Ohioans
for the strenuous lives they are each
day living.

W. T. Weir Gets $200 for Putting
Loomis Ditch Dredge Across
Track at Loomis.
Having completed over half of its
eight mile trip from the northwest
corner of Wise to the Salt river, the
the Pere Marquette track at Loomis
is a barrier to its farther progress.
W. Horning, the ditch contractor, offered the railroad, it is alleged, to dig
a big hole right through the track embankment, leaving it to them to con
struct the necessary bridge. Several
railroad representatives came to inspect the present opening by which
water runs under the track, but the
offer was not accepted. Now it is
given out as the purpose of the drain
people to place the dredge over the
track, dig a big hole for it there and
go on, leaving it for the railroad both
to dig for and to build the required
bridge.
At least W. T. Weir of Claire has
taken the contract to place the bif
dredge on the south side of the railroad. He proposes to build a track at
such a point up stream as he deems
b—it, then dam up the water and float
the dredge up stream to the track.'
Next letting down the water, he will
proceed to move the structure to the
south side of the track to the point
desired. Work began on this part of
the work yesterday. Meanwhile the
contractor is digging a hole big enough
to float the monster on-the other side
of the track.
