9 to 12, according! hospital, to those who are in charge of the display. Fawns, cub bears, wolves, beaver and procupines are usually readily Identified, it was mid, but the leaser known animals, despite their abundance in various parts of the state, are often mistaken for something else. A good share of 65 or so mammals will be shown In the geese and pheasants will make up the exhibit of game birds. In addition to its wild life display the department will have a large booth filled with a variety of confiscated furs, guns confiscated from law violators, and a mass' of hunting and fishing equipment that was once used illegally. Geology Professor Manistique Visitor Dr.

and Mrs. Russell C. Hussey, of Ann Arbor, stopped off in Manistique yesterday on a trip through the upper peninsula. Dr. Hussey, who Is professor of geology at the University of Michigan, is engaged in studying geological strata in this district.

In previous years his investigations in this vicinity dscovered the presence of a pre-historlc coral reef which runs within a few miles of Manistique. This reef. Dr. HusRey stated, was in existence millions of years ago when Schoolcraft county was covered by a shallow, sub-tropical sea. This summer Dr.

Hussey is tracing a certain rock starta from Escanaba to St. Ignace. Similar formations have been found at these places but the presence of glacial drift in between has thus far made tt impossible foi; the professor to link the two outcrops Into one continuous layer. Dr. and Mrs.

Hussey will leave today for St. Ignace where they wtll Join Dr. Ralph K. Bellknap, also of tbe University of Michigan who is associated w'th the oil survey being sponsored by an upper peninsula development company. Cecil R.

Brassel, and on October 15, 1866 the first white child was horn in Manistique dame to them. She was the late Mrs. Charles Wurster, the mother of Mra. Floyd Orr, "From 1866 to 1870 there little progress. Men came and went but there was no permanent building until a few years later.

Mail by Dost "During the summer we received our mail by boat from Chicago, but in the winter it was necessary to make trips on foot to Fayette I and Escanaba My father carried the mail during the winter of 1871 and 1872, walking to Bar Point over the ice. then taking the wagon road to Fayette, and on to Escanaba over the ice again Mrs Mutart carried vivid memories of the first winter spent In Manistique. "Many of the nights were made hideous by the howling of the wolves as they hung on the outskirts of town, but were contented. When Christmas tree time came we planned to celebrate. Since the boarding house was the only building in town large enough to accommodate ev eryone, Mr.

Ramsdell. the proprietor, invited everyone to gather there. We had our first community Christmas tree, followed by a supper and dance. I can safely say that it was the best-attended celebration ever held here, because everyone in town was pres ent. The dance.

I remember, was particularly enjoyable, although the orchestra consisted only of sn aocordlsn, mouth organ and Jew's harp. "Our first election was held in 1871. My sister was married in that year also. It was the first wedding in Manistique, end was attended by the whole settlement "During the summer of 1871 Mrs. Ramsdell taught a three month term of school In one of tbe dwelling bouses, and in 1872 the first school house was built Eddies of political opinion are becoming more pronounced In Manistique as time for the primary election Tuesday approaches, with chief interest centering in the gubernatorial fight between Wilber Brucker and Alex J.

Groeabeck. An exceedingly complex situation In local circles is toning down the usual pre-election of optimism of campaign managers. Whereas Green reoeived a majority of two and a half to one over Groeabeck in their cam palgn four ago here, most of Green's former managers are now Oroesbeck nten. Brucker, on tbe other hand, is receiving the support of an "old line" group Next to tbe campaign for governor most Interfst is being centered In contests nearer home Claude Coates, incumbent, who is running to succeed himself in the state legislature, is being opposed by David F. Morrison, of who was defeated at the last election by Coates.

Three counties comprise this district. With Morrison garnering Schoolcraft votes and Coates the Alger votes. Luce county will probably swing the election for either candidate. Both Schoolcraft and Alger counties have an equal number of votes John of Menominee, who is opposing Dr. Frank Bohn, of Newberry, for the scat eleventh SWED13H BAFTIST.

In that year New York business men bought out the old lumber company. Mr. Colwell became general superintendent and M. H. Quick became superintendent of the mill.

These men arrived In 1872, and immediately several streets were laid out. Pearl. Cedar and Maple streets were the first to be platted. "Mr. family arrived here In the fail of 1872, and the next aummer George Orr came Had No Robin-i wtth his mmily.

She recalls two occupied hy Chief 8emo and his two wives on the shore of the lake the spot now occupied by the Indian lake golf course. "A party of us were having picnic near the Year spring in the summer of 1871. Father left ua to buy greeu corn from Semo, and when he returned he said that presently a religious service would be held at the graveyard near there. An Indian had died the preceding winter and several boats carrying relatives had Just arrived from High Island to visit the grave.

"We heard a low murmuring as the procession filed out of the woods, the men first, followed by the women and children, each three feet apart. All were laden with gifts of food, and they chanted as they visited each grave. After leaving tbe grave they went Into their church, and for about 15 minutes were silent after which they went away, chanting their mournful dirge. "Tbe church was built of cedar poles fastened together with withes, roofed with cedar hark. The seats were made of cedar poles and the holy water font was made of a log standing on end, hollowed out on top.

The weight of 73 years rests lightly on the shoulders of Mrs. Mutart who lives alone at 716 Michigan avenue. Despite her advanced age ebe supports herself by sewing and cooking. Mrs. Mutart has been catereas at innumerable weddings, and yesterday expressed her views on marriage with characteristic force.

Ksry Marriage "I was married young." she said, "at a time when it was customary to do that. But I think young people make a mistake If they get married before they are 24 or 28 years old." Herself an excellent cook, Mra. Mutart compared culinary art of todiy to that of pioneering days when only the simplest could be secured. "When 1 was young we pay much attention to fancy cooking. But tables were alway? heavily loaded or the guest would protest that there was nothing to eat.

Today less food is prepared and more attention is given to delicacies which were unknown in a pioneering community." Although Mrs. Mutart comes from a past where the problem of existence was of chief importance leaving little time for softer things of easy living, she retains the spirit of progresPiveness which one associates with pioneer stock. Consequently, her point of view is entirely modern. "You notice I have my hair bobbed," rhe said with a twinkle in her eye. "1 did It for convenience.

and although my friends constantly Jolly me about it. I tell them 1t la my hair and my head- I can do as 1 please about it. Workmen Installing Sewer On Chippewa Ity. Monistique became Manistique when the village was Incorporated in 1883. "Mr.
