_ o
Clai-e can have a City Klall without much
.Expense.  Also a, Fire House,
OLAEE, MICH., -H-IBAfXV MABCH 9,189*.
-Tiimljer ■ * lfr'
-laite needs a suitable municipal
Wilding, and also a. serviceable -rehouse. Everybody has remarked this,
but nearly every one has followed this
remark by another £_ the effect that
Clarecoul- not afford either. If any
coiiisiderable expense were needed to*
secure them there is. no denying that
they wo _ld be expensive luxuries at
present, but it is' "possible to obtain
both" With little expense.
livery one who goes along west 5th
street by the old school building with
its enarpty windows staring down upon
tto>_ -passer-by, wonders what the build-
i_|gs will ever betused for. It has been
^ropesed that the larger, the old high
se-e&l, be fitted up for city purposes-—
__e-first'floor 1m a fire house and the
-sece-d for a council room and other
-j-ty'g-irpb'sesL So far as we have been
able to learn Inhere lias been no reason
•of. any -weight against the plan and
/everything __vors. it. It has been
-suggested'that the building might be
wanted for a ward school. But. every
«abe must admit that whenever Clare
'shall need -such a, thing the ward
-school must in all justice .be located
Somewhere £n the south part of the
_ist_ict.' fEhe present buiidingi is not
--such-that any one should desire it for
smanufaGt-ring purposes nor could it
tbe made*<into a convenient dwelling.-
The district owns it; the city should^
Ibuy it. .Since the district and the city
•cover so-nearly the same territory, iti
w.ould-.merely betaking money from
-one pocket and putting it in the other,
-with practically no gain or loss. But
•such a bargain andsale would be nectj
-essaryan justice to that small part of*
ithevdistiict not included in. the city.
J_s to-the reasons advanced favoring
=the'use*._f the building, we have heard
.these:   The present council rooms are
■too small.   A dozen pefsoiis besides
i-Ehe '.council itself fills the chamber full.
irttis-_i-ty and rather inaccessible, $&*_■
,_t_ir way being particularly bad.   Wo.
•tone w_Ll deny that a better. couacil.
--room should behad if practicable. How-.
Wver-it is as a flre-ltiou.se that th«*j„d
Mgh -school would be most servie_„Me.
jo&e -cart and hose should be kepi;'in
;vthetpresent building and tfre'at_-&r two
an„vthe hose and tools be pl„$ed ia 'a
;!flre*house suitably arranged in the
-.! proposed building.   Such a thing wall
''•become imperative if a ladder truck
ij.be;a_ded as is some„mespr6r>GS_d. At
i!_)_ssent the north end of trpwa* in-
1 .eluding the high school and some of-
. ithe best residences are too far from
i-the fire service.   From the; present
: _©se house it is a pretty hard up hill
i amn to that part of the city.   Also,the
,i jpregposed fire-house will/be brought
; -nearer to other portions Of the -eity-

'■ -chief business blocks, all the hotels/
■nearly all the factories, and the most

■ l-ires in the west or east could mere

Local base ball nieil organize, and the
League is, started,
Local base ball ent&usiasts met in
the Calkins parlors Monday evening
and organized for the home team and:
elected a irepresentattve on the bbard
of league managers. T|ie meeting was
■- fairly well attendedtor: the first of the
season and the interest shown speaks
wellfor the season's outlook. C. H.
Sutherland was chosen to represent
Glare on the League Board trf Managers
for the season. This board has full
control of the arrangement of games
between the several clubs in the
league. "* .
S. C. LKirkbride, LB.., E. Alward and
B. D. Palmer were -chosen as a local
board of managers, with full power to
organize-and control" the home club.
The local board met yesterday and organized themselves as follows:   S. G.
Eirkbride, President of the board; LB.
D. Palmer, Secretary; D. E. Alward,
Treasurer.   The president will be the j
manager ©f the home club.   In his:
absence,  however, the management \
will devolve upon the secretary, and
in the absence of both these, upon the
treasurer.   Details of the organization
have not yet been made.
Tuesday the representatives of the
several clubs embraced in the league
met at Clare and took the first steps
of permanent organization. Free
Estee represented Mt. Pleasant; A. R.
Canfield, Harrison; Ed. Hines, Far-
well; C. H. Sutherland, Clare. Midland has promised a representative
but he was not here Tuesday. Coleman
sent up D.B. Menerey and asked .to be
admitted to the league. She was admitted. It was decided that Leach
•club have all its own gate receipts ahd
pay its own traveling expenses. This
question gave rise to much discussion
but was fipally decided unanimously,
certain concessions in the arrangement of „tbe schedule of games toeing
made to Harrison and 'Farwell. A
provisional schedule was submitted
and referredtoL th<£ seireiral clubs. for
suggestions.        .
The league will consist of six clubs,
Clare" Harwell, Hiarrison, Mt. LPleais,-
ant, Coleman and Midland. : If-one of
these fiiils to enter, some ©.their club
will be | admitted is* ■ fill the .number.
As thejclubs come from Midland, Isabella aiid Glare counties, the initials
of thos|e counties weip used to make
the name of the league, which will be
styled jbhe "M. I. C. A. B. B. L."~or
"M. I.|C." for short. "The board adjourned -to meet at Glare, next Tuesday, ajfc which time officers -will be
chosen! and organization completed.

S3m«t2mes "caLused delays.   Sow.sqo- past has been a tack of regularity ia

\t*h_fc has been said -by the fremen we-
feelsafean saying that there would'
be no -expense to the city in fitting up-
their^_a_jbers.   If there is no.;valid
-objection tfcq the above arguments,
there should be no unnecessary delay.
We commend the consideration of the
matter to ihe ipicoming council.

The fly season is near at hand and
hase ball talk as at high pitchman up
shoot, as it wese. Everything* s_oo.fis
up in the s-priing, you know. ; While
there is consideicable base talk on the
subject, there is nothing foul about it
—everything is fare. The grand
stand taken in ifavor of good ball reminds us that: although winter has
just had an innings we are just near-
jng the season for „auffs. Soon the

Tn0 regular council meeting Wednesday evening was an interesting session. ; Tfhere were, among other items^
two disputed bills which- gave rise to
considerable discussion-. A verbal petition was presented, asking for. an extension of the water works two blocks

also east and, west on State street.
This was asked on the ground both of
better fire protection- to property in

the Ilusted block was ordered moved
across the street and properly drained.

Harrison Gleave**: While in Farwell
on Wednesday the! Cleaver representative accepted an invitation from Dr. L.
:p_. Kelly to visit his fine farm one mile
east of that village. There we found
all the modern ui'ensils for farming
and a stock barn t'liat, would do credit
to the old farming districts of southern Michigan. Wlbhin its walls he has
erected a large silo which he fills with
ensilage corn every* fail, it having sufficient capacity to'Winter 100 head of
cattle. This winter he has kept 50
head bf cattle, about the same number of sheep, besides horses and hogs.
Convenient to the barn he has erected
a neat engine houlse in which he has
power to operate liislairge ensilage cutter and feed mill. His barns aTe
models of neatness and convenience,
and go to confirmjthe well established
idea that the Doctor has a thourgh
knowledge of thejrecjuisites to successful farming. He is constantly adding
land to'his already large area, and bids
fair to become as 'famous as a tiller of
the soil as Lbie has!^in: the practice of
medicine. :
