mile varying from $6 a mile In some
of the southern counties to $300 a
mile in the upper peninsula district
where snowfall is constant during
parts of the season.
Considerable new equipment has
been purchased by the highway department and is in use this winter,
600,000 feet of snow fence being part
of the new material purchased.
Increased use of high-speed truck
plow units, eliminating some of the
work formerly done by heavy tractors, will be the outstanding feature
in snow removal this year, according,
to Mr. Tiney. The high cost "of
tractor units, Tiney declared, made it
advisable to 'use trucks to the limit,
giving' quicker service at a reduced
fOst.
Highways will be kept in a smooth
condition this year also by the maintenance division, permitting comfort
and safety for winter driving as well I
as during the summer months. Mich-'

fire department was able to extinguish the blaze which had damaged the' house to a considerable extent, and at once began a search for
the origin.
They discovered that a hole had
been cut through the lath and plaster of one of the partitions, close to
the baseboard and a quantity of rags
saturated in kerosene had been placed in this opening between the studding, and- a portion of a lady's dress
skirt, also saturated, had been placed
i at the bottom of the opening in such
|a manner that the draft would carry
the flames and rapidly spread them
throughout the partitions and upper
floors of the two story structure.
This failed to develop and the firemen found the garment. Fire Chiei
Wellman made investigation and at
once notifie'd the State Fire Marshalls
office at Lansing, and M. A. Mac-
Kenna, Deputy State Fire Marshall,
of Prascott, was soon on the job, and
with County officers, immediately
took action. In a pocket of the garment was found a slip of paper which
was alleged to be a memorandum of
maple syrup sold by Blystone.
Two girls who lives across the
street from this house told the officers that a man answering to Bly-
stone's description came to the house
on the preceding Saturday, and
when they entered the building out
of curiosity, they saw him cutting a
hole in the wall with an axe.
Working on these clews, and the
theory that Blystone would be the
only person benefited by the destruction of the building and the collection
of the insurance, the officers brought
him into Prosecutor Holbrook's office, where he admitted having, employed Himes to set the fire for him.
Himes, who is about thirty-eight
years of age and married, and lives
east of Houghton Lake, was arrested
Sunday and confessed to the crime.
He stated that while visiting in
Arthur township last summer, he
talked with Blystone about setting
fire to his house on west Seventh
street, and agreed to do this if Bly-
stone wouitT'sBt everything ready for
him. He stated that he was to re-

Tiuey said, averaged $49,60 per mile varying from $6 a mile In some of the southern counties to $300 a mile in the upper peninsula district where snowfall is constant during parts of the season. Considerable new equipment has been purchased by the highway department and is in use this winter, 600,000 feet of snow fence being part of the new material purchased. Increased use of high-speed truck plow units, eliminating some of the work formerly done by heavy tractors, will be the outstanding feature in snow removal this year, according, to Mr. Tiney. The high cost "of tractor units, Tiney declared, made it advisable to 'use trucks to the limit, giving' quicker service at a reduced fOst. Highways will be kept in a smooth condition this year also by the maintenance division, permitting comfort and safety for winter driving as well I as during the summer months.

They discovered that a hole had been cut through the lath and plaster of one of the partitions, close to the baseboard and a quantity of rags saturated in kerosene had been placed in this opening between the studding, and- a portion of a lady's dress skirt, also saturated, had been placed i at the bottom of the opening in such a manner that the draft would carry the flames and rapidly spread them throughout the partitions and upper floors of the two story structure. This failed to develop and the firemen found the garment. Fire Chiei Wellman made investigation and at once notifie'd the State Fire Marshalls office at Lansing, and M. A. Mac- Kenna, Deputy State Fire Marshall, of Prascott, was soon on the job, and with County officers, immediately took action. In a pocket of the garment was found a slip of paper which was alleged to be a memorandum of maple syrup sold by Blystone. Two girls who lives across the street from this house told the officers that a man answering to Bly- stone's description came to the house on the preceding Saturday, and when they entered the building out of curiosity, they saw him cutting a hole in the wall with an axe. Working on these clews, and the theory that Blystone would be the only person benefited by the destruction of the building and the collection of the insurance, the officers brought him into Prosecutor Holbrook's office, where he admitted having, employed Himes to set the fire for him. Himes, who is about thirty-eight years of age and married, and lives east of Houghton Lake, was arrested Sunday and confessed to the crime. He stated that while visiting in Arthur township last summer, he talked with Blystone about setting fire to his house on west Seventh street, and agreed to do this if Bly- stone wouitT'sBt everything ready for him.
