machinery capable of supplying the
city's need at present. However, it
would hardly be expected to meet its
growing needs. There should be a
concrete spillway, a new generator,
governor, switchboard and various
things tbat would entail an outlay of
something like $5,000 to adapt it to
changed load conditions. To other
things be wonld add $10,000 for distribution wbich would bring the total cost of the plant np to $33,000.
To reproduce the Callam dam, or
in other words, to build a new plant
similar to it, be estimates at $14,800.
In this estimate he gives tbe plant
only 80 acres of land at a value of $25
per acre, ln its present condition he
estimates the plant worth between
$5,000 and $10,000, depending on the
price fixed for the land and flowage
rights. Tbe estimated cost of a new
plant at the Callam site is $66,000 and
_»t a new 6ite, $52,300.
After some discuseion and numerous qnestiona addressed to Mr. King,
the meeting adjourned to meet again
on Monday evening.
Monday evening found nearly as
many present again. Mr. Ward
stated tbat Engineer Wiggins of
Saginaw, who had been expected
was detained at bome by the sickness
of his wife. Tbis is the engineer wbo
installed tbe Callam plant and whose
reliability had been vouched for by
Mr. King. In his absence, Co. Surveyor Johnson gave some figures
based on investigations he had made.
He gives the acreage owned or controlled by the Cailam estate at 178
acres instead of 80 acres as assumed
by Mr. King. The gravel beds on
the property comprise about 3%
acres and are from 7 to 16 feet in
depth. Assuming an average depth
of 10 feet, there would be 54,320 yards |
of gravel, which at 10 cents a yard j
would-'amount to $5,432.
William Ryan, who has had an experience of over 30 years in the milling business, stated that be had
somewhat carefully examined the
Callam property and he considers
tbe dam a very good one and likely
to stand any ordinary strain. While
a cement spillway wonld be desirable
tbe present one is likely to answer
every purpose for a long time. The
wheel is first class and of tbe latest
pattern. He called attention to what
be considers tbe desirability of tbe
city owning tbe property for its
value as a resort in the future for tbe
people.
Dr. Reeder pointed out whaj ssems
to him to be inconsistences and illogical statements in the report of Mr.
King.
Supt. Poulson read from a Manton
paper a detailed report of the municipal light and water plants in that
town. During the past >ear the
plant had netted something over
$1,000 As tbe report combined tbe
two, one conld not determine how

After brief remarks by others, Dr.
Danlop offered a resolution that the
common council be petitioned to submit to tbe people at tbe spring election the qnestion of bonding the city
tor $26,000 for the purchase of the
Callam property or for acquiring another site and equipping a plant at
some otber locality. Tbe resolution
waa adopted witb apparent unanimity and nearly all present signed

BASKET JIAJ1 SEASON
Closes     Tonight     With     Girls'
Game for Championship.
Why haven't YOU tried a

Big plans have been made for the
final game of tbe season in basket
ball, which takes place here tonight,
and which will give the girls of Clare
or of Chesaning a right to claim tbe
championship of Central Michigan.
The two teams met a few weeks
ago, victory resting with our arms.
And while Clare has been once
beaten by Owosso, we are unable to
get any satisfaction from that town
as to a return game, and therefore
believe it should cot be considered in
awarding tbe title. The team was
somewhat crippled in the game with
the Central Normal last Friday.after-
noon, two girls being slightly hurt
and giving way to substitutes. But

in a victory for the Normal, 18 to i,

score would no doubt have been less
one-sided.

Captain Donald Campbell of the regular army as commandant of tbefort,
who was also Indian agent; and as dangers began to thicken, Major Henry
Gladwin, also of tbe army, was sent
to his support with three hundred
lignt infantry, well armed and
equipped, to guard the river and to
protect the settlers against the de-
pradations of the Indians. Nothing
was known as yet of the plans of
Pontiac, but it was observed that he
was more tban usually active and
there was a feeling that some great
plan was on foot. Pontiac and his
warriors professed friendship witb the
wbices and were allowed to come and
go about the camp freely. Captain
Campbell holding that this was the
surest way to main ain friendly relations with tbem. In July, 1762, tne
Indians in someway learned that
there was war becwweii ir;a^«scti'"*iri-
Spain, and the report spread far and
wide that the French and Spanish
would retake Quebec and all Canada.
Now, Pontiac thought, is the time to
spring my trap, and he at once began to gather his forces for tbis purpose. Indian runners were dispatched to tbe various tribes, 12 in
all, to make the first assault on a
certain day and to continue the siege
till the various forts should be forced
to surrender. Admission to tbe forts
was to be gained by treachery. Without doubt the fort at Detroit would
have fallen at tbe first attack if tbe
plan of the Indians had not been revealed by an Indian girl, who after
much hesitation, informed Maj. Gladwin of the whole scheme.
Pontiac asked admittance to the
fort with fiifty or sixty warriors to
hold a council aud smoke the pipe of
peace. Preparing for this visit, these
warriors had filed off the barrels of
their muskets to a length of 16 or 20
inches, so that tbey could be concealed beneath the blankets tbey
wore. The gates to the fort had been
all closed but one, the guardsdoabled
and the soldiers standing in arms.
Pontiac was thunderstruck by thia
display but at once began
Gladwin, professing love and trust,
and asked why this display of the
soldiers. Gladwin made bim some
reply and then accused him of treachery, at the same time spying the
blanket of the chief, discovered the
shortened musket.
Pontiac still persisting in hia profession of friendship left the fort
promising to return next day and
smoke the pipe of peace. Next day
be returned with his warriors but
found everything closed against him
and went off in a terrible rage. The
Indians at Michilimackinacgained entrance to the fort by means of a game
of ball between tbe Indians snd soldiers of tbe tort. The game waa in
progress snd tbe gates of the fort
open, when the bail wss purposely

fort. Tbe Indians then rushed in,
overpowered and murdered tbe garrison snd burned tbe buildings. At

outcry that tbe inmates ot the fort

We ali know the old saying, "Tbe>
band that rocks the cradle rules tbe
world." Witbln the past generation
there has sprung up a great desire
and longing among women for st
more scientific training for their
great work of rearing and training:
children. Eminent physicians are-
making a Bpecial study of tbe care of
children, magazines are opening
their pages for tbe discussion of
child welfare; yet the preparation
for this great work is in a very embryonic stage. One may send to the
departments of government and get
bulletins on bees, bugs, birds and
beasts of tbe farm, but never a bulletin on babies. Wben we consider-
that in Michigan alone 7,000 babie?
died last year and a large majority
of tbem from preventable diseases,
it is time tbat women aroused themselves to the responsibiiity that isv
theirs.
First in importance in the  training
of the child is heredity.     We cannot
1 go back, as our good old Dr.  Holmes
would have us, and train the child's
grandmother, but we are shaping tbe*
generations of the  future.     Through

system   of   physical

colleges, we are building up a clean,
wholesome   manhood    and    womanhood that   shall   be   worthy   progenitors of the future.    We are substituting  suggestions of   good     for    evil.
To"© long we bave bowed   before   tbe
Nemesis of fear, but we are   realizing
more and   more  that  good  is   more
powerful than  evil,   sud   that  good,
true'tbougbts cherished in the miudst
of the  parents,   will produce  ciean,
pure, happy offspring.
The n6xt principle in the training
of the child is atmosphere. I do not
refer to the ventilation of the home,
important as that may be, but to
something more elusive than this,

And we believe this fact accounts
to some extent at least, for the success of the firm mentioned above.
This, plus careful attention to details, and being everlastingly "on

secret of their continued growth and
usefulness.

years ago under the name of Geeck
