This compromise was arrived at in Lansing a few days ago after a conference by representatives of those who favor and oppose the proposed action. A bill had been introduced into the legislature to make it mandatory upon the boards of supervisors to take action in such cases but after the conference, the word "shall" was changed to "may" This was done with the understanding that at the next meeting of the supervisors the issue will be threshed out.

The following message was received from El Paso regarding the situation: Because of the wreckage of a train at Fabens. a few miles east of here, carrying Pullmans for a regiment, the movement of Michigan troops has been temporarily held up. In the opinion of railroad men and officers in charge of the transit, the entire regiment will be out of the city by midnight or at least before morning. Regardless of the hour trains arrive, the start north will be as soon as the men can entrain after the cars arrive. Shortly after daybreak, the work of striking tents was commenced, and before noon all equipment was in freight and baggage cars.

It was expected at that time the Pullmans would be brought to the tracks at once, and the start made early in the afternoon. News of the wreck which occurred on a single track line, however, held un further movement. Will Welcome the Start After the many disappointments of the past week it is safe to say the starting of the train will be a welcome sound to the majority of the men. But despite many date changes the Michiganders are cheerful and uncomplaining. It is planned to run the three sections of the train about an hour apart during the entire journey.

This will enable reunions in the cities, where the stops are made, and will bring the entire regiment into Nation Wide Movement Is On To Conserve On Food Supplies and Reduce Cost CALLS ATTENTION a new township to include thpir ilis- ROSALIND Find Orlando. i REBUS Shakespearean character.

The situation is the same which resulted in the division of China township a number of sears ago and brought about creation of East t'hina township. Residents of Harsens Island and the Flats section had a similar proposition up before the supervisors two years ago and asked for a division of Clay township. the grievance being that they were ignored so far as improvements were concerned and the expenditure of the township funds.

The petitioners who favor the division of St. Clair township took their grievance before the state legislature in the form of a bill making it manoatory for the board- of supervisors to take some action in the matter. The conference, however at I-ansinsr resulted in an agreement whereby the residents of the eastern Pr: the were assured tnat they would receive consideration at the hands of the supervisors at their next meeting. Chairman Cady, of the board of supervisors stated todav: One of the most important amendments to the state constitution to be voted on April 2 is that which will enable the slate of Michigan to receive federal aid in road building. Frank F.

Rogers, state highway commissioner has sent out notices that it is necessary to carry this amendment and has asked concerted action on the part of county road commissioners in calling attention of the voters to the amendment. Chairman Frank Beard of the St. Clair county road commission has made arrangements to send notices to all supervisors in the county asking them to lend their aid in calling attention to the amendment. The notice as sent out by Commissioner Rogers, follows: "That Michigan's constitution does not give the state highway commissioner authority to originate plans fo-and to build roads as required by the Only five men are to be left in the base hospital, and it is believed all these will be able to make the journey home in less than two weeks.

To clear the fort by the last day of the month the work of checking up property, giving physical examinations to each man, adjusting accounts and numerous other minor details will have to be rushed through in a week's time.

Now is the time for every citizen to have a garden and I will endeavor to outline some plan within the next few days whereby the vacant property ih the city can be converted into garden spots. A number of public spirited citizens have already come forward with offers of vacant land and I will endeavor to have a committee work with me on some systematic plan. Immediate action Is necessary and I will get busy on the proposition.

Some plan will also be devised to interest the boys and girls the city in the planting of individual gardens. ORGANIZE BOOSTER CLUB About SO Band Themselves Together To Work For Col. Boynton A Boynton booster club was organized last night in the circuit court room to work for Col. C. L.

To The Electors of Port I have been nominated to fill the unexpired term of David Montieth as commissioner of publfc safety and if elected will hold until November of this year when the people of this city will vote again for candidates for this office.

As usual, at election time, rumors and statements are circulated, calculated to influence the voters in their selection of candidates. I have heard from a number of friends, who had been told, that if I was elected I would discharge the chief of the fire and police department and that I had already promised these positions to others. I want to brand the assertion as an absolute falsehood. I HAVE NEITHER CONTEMPLATED ANY CHANCE NOR HAVE I PROMISED ANY ONE A JOB. I believe the efficiency of both of the departments mentioned has met the approval of the people of this city and as a business man, believe in leaving well enough alone.

I could not, even if I so desired, employ or discharge any of the officers of this city because such action can only be taken by the commission of which if elected, would only be one member. I have taken this means of letting the people know where I stand so they will not be misled by persons who have little regard for the truth. I stand for a clean and business like administration and am tied up to no interests except the best interests of the city. Your vote is respectfully solicited. C.
