add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various developments in the U.S. as of October 8, 1908. U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt has removed the collector of customs and the special treasury agent at Port Huron, Michigan, for pernicious activity in politics. The particular offence for which the collector at Port Huron was charged is demanding political assessments from the classified employees at the custom house. A meeting was held at Grand Rapids, Michigan last week to promote the buildings of a canal to connect Lakes Michigan and Huron. This latest project follows one for a canal from South Chicago, Illinois, to Toledo, Ohio, by which 500 miles would be cut off from the present lake route between the two cities.
