The Kt a te leased the Barker farm at Whitmore Lake for this year's encampment with the privilege of storing its equipments on the place until the next encampmemt. This looks as ii the military authorities had in view Bhe holding of next year's emcampment at Whitmore Lake.

Quite a confession. Why int s mie week put in the important natter and leave out the unimportant, just to give its readers a change. Houses to rent in Ann Arbor are ■ery scarce. Every residence in any lesirable location, ilias been taken, and tlhe demand for more is constantly ncreasing. If the demaod for houses s any indicntion the attendance upon mr schools and the unirersity this -ear, will ibe groater than ever. Street Oommise] mer Sutherland jwps thlngs movlng, but The board of pub1}:' works is sadly u&mpered for want of funde. Street crossings ave led everywhere, and the people onght to roK' money for that purpose. The koeping np of our st reets and l.-nvns is ono of the beauties that makes t!his puch a deslrable residence city. A few days since. as the motor train on the Arm Arbor and Ypsilanti road was coming to Ana Arbor, tlio motor jumped the track at the :roesing of tlie Lake Shore road. On bo'ard were half a dozen Ann Arbor people, including Rev. Dr. Tatlock and Ooi. B. M. Thompson. Here was a dilemma. They must cith.'r vemain in tliis not altogether attractive place !or two or three hours, or eJse they must US2 tho loeomotive powers That nature liad giren them, amd foot it. Tliis they determined to do, and in the home contest thp result is said to have 'been a draw, thounh Col, Thompson insists that lic made over ix milos an hour. As the distancc was about four miles, and tho time was two hours, there must havo beei an error in his calculations, somewhoro. A líentleman from Racine, Wis., at present stopping in our city, says he seos only one thlTUg to criticise in this beautlful place, and that is, the dusty street s. In Racine they have a system that works admirably. By an ordinamce the council is empowered, when the majority of the resident, of any street petition thorefor, to let contracts to the lowest bidder for the sprinkling of sucli street during the entire season, the cost thereof as sessed to residents and property own ers on the street. The result is that nearly every street in Raciaie is aprink led, and the dust nuisamce entirely don( away with. It is a luxury that when once enjoyed will never be done aivaj with. Would Ann Arbor not do a wise thing to follow the example o Racine in this respect? Last Friday morning Mr. Beaumore a government post office inspector presented himself at tho Ann Arbo post office and announced that he wa ready to go through the office and se if everything was all right. This ii did pretty thoroughly leaving no si on unturned. All departments were keei ly scrutinizod and everything foun in order and systematic. The balamc sheet came out exact to a penny. Al of which speaks well for the admlnls tration of Postmaster l'.eal. wlio give t lic business his personal snpevvisini and is to be complimented upon th smooth and even nianner in which th office is managed. If the governmen will only carry out its promiso of an otlier letter carrier, and a cart fo accommodating the outlaying dis tricts, the happiness of our 1'. M. w il be complete. Tom E.
