DIES AT LANSING
Last week Thursday afternoon
State Highway Engineers Bowler, of
Lansing, and Zigler, of Cadillac, met
With tbe city council, business men
and tax payers for the purpose of
submitting plans andspeoiflcationsof
the proposed paving of McEwan
street north to tbe city limits thirty-
two feet wide and nine blocks in the
business district from twenty fGet to
eixty-five wide in different places as
the conditions most require.
Tbe plan submitted is as follows:
Beginning at county line and thence
north, the first block is to be paved
20 feet wide In the center, the second
block 32 feet wide, the third 32to,4b
feet which extends aeroSB the Pere
Marquette trackB to Third street.
Tbe next three Is to be 65 feet wide,
and the following three blocks 36 feet
wide. From here on north to the
city limits will be 20 feet wide in the
center.
Tbe Council engaged Engineer John
White to submit an estimate of the
city's cost of tbis plan and which he
has placed atS40,000, Of this amount
S5,400 will be for the installing of
storm sewers, which is absolutely
necessary at the present lime, in
order to protect the sanitary sewers
and wili have to be taken care of
within tbe next year whether the city
paves or not. $6,600 will be for the
replacing of tbe old wood water
maine with iron pipe, the present
condition of these mains being so
weak tbat it is not safe for any direct
pressure. This leaves $28,000 that is
really to be charged against the pavement, Of this amount seventy-five
per cent is to be paid direcc by the
owners of property abutting McEwan
etreet and twenty-five percent to be
spread at large which has been figured at about 85,000. This will be
spread in three yearly payments so
that the taxpayers will at no time be
burdened witb taxes. To the city's
$40,000 the State Highway department will add $30,000 more making
this a 870,000 job.
Besides tbe Improvement many
other features will be realized. One
is tbe graveling of otber streets with
tbe gravel removed from McEwan.
The state department will remove
this gravel and haul it to a distance
of 1,000 feet free of charge beyond
this distance a charge of lc per
foot will be made. Another is that it
is estimated that fifty per cent of tbe
total amount will be spent in Clare
for labor, board, tools, clothing, pro-
~ visions etc., besides making Clare tbe
busiest place in central Micbigan for
the year 1923.
On tbe cost of tbe improvement of
tbe water mains, tbe amount can be

I took a run over to Los Angeles

Sentinel Clare, Mich., -
Spring iB here or nearly so; Tree
toads are singing any way. Those
tbat havn't bad tbe grip are having
it, therefore it is one continual round
of pleasure.
Have just received the official statement of the amount of rainfall during
December and January. The record
came from tbe Oregon Agricultural
College at Oorvallis. More than half
of a years rainfall fell during these
months.
The average annual rainfall is 42.25
inches. Of this amount 21.99 inches
fell during December and January,
The greatest rainfall for one day was
2.55 inches, or just enough rain fell
to lay tbe dust, you can Imagine
what us poor devil's would have done
here in tbe mountains if tbat bad of
been snow instead of rain, but we
are faBt forgetting tbat for tbe silver-
sides are running nowinHood River,
I mean in the river not in tbe town.
They average from 8 to 12 lbs. They
sure give you a run for your money
when you book one.
When you get tired of fishing, then
you can go hunting. Hunting license
costs $3, fishing license the same,
both bought at tbe same time can be
had for $5. When you have parted
with those iron $ you can bunt deer,
bear, coyotes. Then when you get
tired of tbat kind of sport you can
join the Pendleton sportsmen in their
rabbit drives. They held one on
February 23rd, when fifty sportsmen
used 10,000 Bhotgun sheila to kill
8,000 rabbits. The record kill waB
made by one team of 20 men tbat shot
670 rabbits in 15 minutes. They are
a great pest in some parts of eastern
Oregon and also in some parts of
southern Oregon. Tbey seem to be
more bothersome where they raise
alfalfa. Those tbat feed on tbe alfalfa are good to eat. Those that feed
on sage brush are N. G.
Then in the fall there are tbe wild
geese. At Arlington tbe river flats
seem to be the natural resting ground
Those that have seen them say that
at times there will be acres of tbem
on the sand bars. You are not allowed to shoot them within one mile of
the river. Then when yon get tired
of that you can go down the river for
ducks. They are just as plenty as
the geese. Not an uncommon thing
to get tbe limit allowed in one day.'
Thirtyflve is tbe allowance for one
days Bbooting. Some years there
seems to be more mallard's than any
other kind, then other years there
seem to be more canvas backs. One
bas to use a boat to have any sport
hunting dncks.
Yours truly,
R-4 Belmont Road O. S. Lee.
One of the most costly country
fires that has occurred within tne
vicinity of Olare in many years was
discovered last Saturday afternoon
at 2:00 o'clock in the fine modern
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Lawson,
five miles north of Clare and formerly owned and occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Jos. Hudson.
It is tbougbt that the blaze originated from a defective chimney and
remained undiscovered until it had
gained such headway tbat all hopes
of saving the building were abandoned.
Neighbors apd friends who saw the
fire hurried to the scene and did
everything possible to save the house-
bold goods, tbe most of which were
removed from tbe burning building.
In an interview with Mr. Hudson,
be states tbat it would cost over
812,000 to rebuild-tbe home' today as
it was finished throughout in the
seventeen rooms in cherry, oak and
hardwood and was furnished witb all
modern conveniences.
Mr, Lawson purchased tbe large
farm three years ago aud bas been
working same diligently since, but
the loss will fall heavy as only 35,000
insurance was carried.

From Farwell Correspondence
.We guessed it, tbe men are going
to do it np Black and entertain with
a Minstrel show. Tbey think we do
not give tbem entertainment enough
nor enough to eat so tbey are going
to show us how. The "Dads" have
been faithful attendants of our Parent-Teacher meetings, which are tbe
one place where every one meets on
one common ground, we are all
members of the public which bas. established and maintains tbe greatest
of all earth's monuments, tbe Public
School; What the Nation is, what its
laws are to be, it's future usefulness
in the world, all depend on the
school.
Tbe public school is Democratic;
it receives and treats all alike, wealth
does not count, poverty does not
hinder. The knowledge iB there for
all, tbe bead of tbe class is for tbe
child that studies and the bottom for
tbe one who does not. In the public
school the little citizens tbat are to
be tbe future voters, sit side by side,
all equal. The only aristocracy is
that of learning, of application and
of good conduct.
The Spirit of Amerioa is developed
in ber public schools of love of equality and a knowledge tbat it is what
You Abb and not what your, father
was that makes a difference in the
world.
An education in the public school
is the birthright of every child in
America, provided for him at tbe
expense of the nation and it seems a
crime to permit any child to lose
even one days schooling for it is bis
right to bave an equal opportunity
with every other child. Statistics
shOWi'that by a comparison of wages
that every day. of tbe senior year'is
worth $25 to the graduate.
It is the privilege of tbe public to
protect tbis monument, to see that
only good workmen are employed
and that only tbe beet kind of tools
are used, to insist that every child
bave an equal chance, for his heritage
is at stake.
G.LC. ENJOY
POTLUCK DINNER
Election o i Officers and
Plans Made to Federate
Were Featu res of Day. /
Almost the entire membership of
the O, G. L. O. met at the home of
the hostess, Mrs. Anna Northon,
Tuesday evening, where a splendid
potluck dinner was enjoyed by all.
Under the leadership of Mrs, Mack,
tbe chairman of the evening, a vigorous debate with Mrs. Wilson on
tbe affirmative and Mrs. Lampman
on the negative was given the quest
tion"Resolved, that it is of-great
benefit for our club to federate.' Tbe
affirmative tide won.
We then assembled in tbe parlors
and were favored with a piano solo
by Mrs. Mildred Fitzpatriok.
Tbe president gave an able address
which was well received and a rising'
vote of thanks waB tendered Mrs.
Horton for her untiring efforts-in
club work thru the year.
The routine of business was then
carried on during which tbe follow-•
ing officers were elected:
Pres., Mrs. Mabel Horton
Vice Pres., Mrs. Lena Reading
2nd Vice Pres., Miss Laura Vaugbao
Secretary, Mrs. Pearl Comer
Treasurer, Mrs. Minnie Caul
The aoclal hour of the evening was
given to a modern play called the
"Gathering of the Nuts" a synopsis
of which follows. The audience expressed strong approval of the 'cast'
by lolid and prolonged applause.
Gathering the Nuts
Misses Lapham and Kefauver,
Put Shakespeare's plays to shame:
For at the Club last Tuesday night
They won tremendous fame.
They used the Northon parlor
.For the setting of their play;
I'll tell you all about it
And it starts out just this way.,
M. Horton was stage manager
And showed a lot of tact;
The crowd roared innovation
At every single act.
They needed some good heroine
So tbey put in a Gaul,
But for a daring hero,
The Lyon beat them all.
MeKnight, tbermodem villain,
Wooed our friend Demarest.
Of all the vamps he captured.
He seemed to like her best.
But Northon, her kid brother,
Kept hanging round quite near
So tender messages of love
Could not escape bis ean
A play would be most incomplete
Without a string of pearls
And so we watched tbe antics
Of four dashing chorus girls.
Witting, she's a dancer
And Lampman's on tbe way:
And Wilson too, and Comer
Got better every day.
We all have our opinions,
Bnt take tbis.'tip from me.
There may be clever little nuts
Upon your family tree.
Tbe Club adjourned to meet witb
Mrs. Stella Lampman March 20.

BIGLEY DIES AT LANSING Last week Thursday afternoon State Highway Engineers Bowler, of Lansing, and Zigler, of Cadillac, met With tbe city council, business men and tax payers for the purpose of submitting plans andspeoiflcationsof the proposed paving of McEwan street north to tbe city limits thirty- two feet wide and nine blocks in the business district from twenty fGet to eixty-five wide in different places as the conditions most require. Tbe plan submitted is as follows: Beginning at county line and thence north, the first block is to be paved 20 feet wide In the center, the second block 32 feet wide, the third 32to,4b feet which extends aeroSB the Pere Marquette trackB to Third street. Tbe next three Is to be 65 feet wide, and the following three blocks 36 feet wide. From here on north to the city limits will be 20 feet wide in the center. Tbe Council engaged Engineer John White to submit an estimate of the city's cost of tbis plan and which he has placed atS40,000, Of this amount S5,400 will be for the installing of storm sewers, which is absolutely necessary at the present lime, in order to protect the sanitary sewers and wili have to be taken care of within tbe next year whether the city paves or not. $6,600 will be for the replacing of tbe old wood water maine with iron pipe, the present condition of these mains being so weak tbat it is not safe for any direct pressure. This leaves $28,000 that is really to be charged against the pavement, Of this amount seventy-five per cent is to be paid direcc by the owners of property abutting McEwan etreet and twenty-five percent to be spread at large which has been figured at about 85,000. This will be spread in three yearly payments so that the taxpayers will at no time be burdened witb taxes. To the city's $40,000 the State Highway department will add $30,000 more making this a 870,000 job. Besides tbe Improvement many other features will be realized. One is tbe graveling of otber streets with tbe gravel removed from McEwan. The state department will remove this gravel and haul it to a distance of 1,000 feet free of charge beyond this distance a charge of lc per foot will be made. Another is that it is estimated that fifty per cent of tbe total amount will be spent in Clare for labor, board, tools, clothing, pro- ~ visions etc., besides making Clare tbe busiest place in central Micbigan for the year 1923. On tbe cost of tbe improvement of tbe water mains, tbe amount can be Remains Brought to Glare Wednesday for Interment The remains of Mrs 0.

By order of Committee; . Hood River, Oregon, February 20, J 923. Sentinel Clare, Mich., - Spring iB here or nearly so; Tree toads are singing any way. Those tbat havn't bad tbe grip are having it, therefore it is one continual round of pleasure. Have just received the official statement of the amount of rainfall during December and January. The record came from tbe Oregon Agricultural College at Oorvallis. More than half of a years rainfall fell during these months. The average annual rainfall is 42.25 inches. Of this amount 21.99 inches fell during December and January, The greatest rainfall for one day was 2.55 inches, or just enough rain fell to lay tbe dust, you can Imagine what us poor devil's would have done here in tbe mountains if tbat bad of been snow instead of rain, but we are faBt forgetting tbat for tbe silver- sides are running nowinHood River, I mean in the river not in tbe town. They average from 8 to 12 lbs. They sure give you a run for your money when you book one. When you get tired of fishing, then you can go hunting. Hunting license costs $3, fishing license the same, both bought at tbe same time can be had for $5. When you have parted with those iron $ you can bunt deer, bear, coyotes. Then when you get tired of tbat kind of sport you can join the Pendleton sportsmen in their rabbit drives. They held one on February 23rd, when fifty sportsmen used 10,000 Bhotgun sheila to kill 8,000 rabbits. The record kill waB made by one team of 20 men tbat shot 670 rabbits in 15 minutes. They are a great pest in some parts of eastern Oregon and also in some parts of southern Oregon. Tbey seem to be more bothersome where they raise alfalfa. Those tbat feed on tbe alfalfa are good to eat. Those that feed on sage brush are N. G. Then in the fall there are tbe wild geese. At Arlington tbe river flats seem to be the natural resting ground Those that have seen them say that at times there will be acres of tbem on the sand bars. You are not allowed to shoot them within one mile of the river. Then when yon get tired of that you can go down the river for ducks. They are just as plenty as the geese. Not an uncommon thing to get tbe limit allowed in one day.' Thirtyflve is tbe allowance for one days Bbooting. Some years there seems to be more mallard's than any other kind, then other years there seem to be more canvas backs. One bas to use a boat to have any sport hunting dncks. Yours truly, R-4 Belmont Road O. S. Lee. One of the most costly country fires that has occurred within tne vicinity of Olare in many years was discovered last Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the fine modern home of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Lawson, five miles north of Clare and formerly owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Hudson. It is tbougbt that the blaze originated from a defective chimney and remained undiscovered until it had gained such headway tbat all hopes of saving the building were abandoned. Neighbors apd friends who saw the fire hurried to the scene and did everything possible to save the house- bold goods, tbe most of which were removed from tbe burning building. In an interview with Mr. Hudson, be states tbat it would cost over 812,000 to rebuild-tbe home' today as it was finished throughout in the seventeen rooms in cherry, oak and hardwood and was furnished witb all modern conveniences. Mr, Lawson purchased tbe large farm three years ago aud bas been working same diligently since, but the loss will fall heavy as only 35,000 insurance was carried.

Tbey think we do not give tbem entertainment enough nor enough to eat so tbey are going to show us how. The "Dads" have been faithful attendants of our Parent-Teacher meetings, which are tbe one place where every one meets on one common ground, we are all members of the public which bas. established and maintains tbe greatest of all earth's monuments, tbe Public School; What the Nation is, what its laws are to be, it's future usefulness in the world, all depend on the school. Tbe public school is Democratic; it receives and treats all alike, wealth does not count, poverty does not hinder. The knowledge iB there for all, tbe bead of tbe class is for tbe child that studies and the bottom for tbe one who does not. In the public school the little citizens tbat are to be tbe future voters, sit side by side, all equal. The only aristocracy is that of learning, of application and of good conduct. The Spirit of Amerioa is developed in ber public schools of love of equality and a knowledge tbat it is what You Abb and not what your, father was that makes a difference in the world. An education in the public school is the birthright of every child in America, provided for him at tbe expense of the nation and it seems a crime to permit any child to lose even one days schooling for it is bis right to bave an equal opportunity with every other child. Statistics shOWi'that by a comparison of wages that every day. of tbe senior year'is worth $25 to the graduate. It is the privilege of tbe public to protect tbis monument, to see that only good workmen are employed and that only tbe beet kind of tools are used, to insist that every child bave an equal chance, for his heritage is at stake.

The audience expressed strong approval of the 'cast' by lolid and prolonged applause. Gathering the Nuts Misses Lapham and Kefauver, Put Shakespeare's plays to shame: For at the Club last Tuesday night They won tremendous fame. They used the Northon parlor .For the setting of their play; I'll tell you all about it And it starts out just this way., M. Horton was stage manager And showed a lot of tact; The crowd roared innovation At every single act. They needed some good heroine So tbey put in a Gaul, But for a daring hero, The Lyon beat them all. MeKnight, tbermodem villain, Wooed our friend Demarest. Of all the vamps he captured. He seemed to like her best. But Northon, her kid brother, Kept hanging round quite near So tender messages of love Could not escape bis ean A play would be most incomplete Without a string of pearls And so we watched tbe antics Of four dashing chorus girls. Witting, she's a dancer And Lampman's on tbe way: And Wilson too, and Comer Got better every day. We all have our opinions, Bnt take tbis.'tip from me.
