IS THE DAY,

*
V
To Vote Fes or No on the B'ond-
■ ing; Proposition,
• *     The bonding propositi on to be?vo ed
on Monday is ojiietly being, discussed
here and there over the city.   A great
• diversity of opinion seems to-exists,
judgnu, from^the various c^rametits
heard. Some confidently nlake prediction as to the outcome of the vote
bui. the m jorjty are not sj positive
as to the result.
Mayor Lacy holds the opinion that
'■i'- the proposi ion wilgcarry as, after'
' considerable study of the question, he
'* is firm in tlie belief that it is the
'- wise^thin* for Clare to do to provide
^ a water system suitable forr her future
j    development. •
Some of the tax payers, as shown
from .interviews, published in Jihese
columns some weeks ago urge that'the
. present bonding plan b* defeated and
. / sub'aeq jently onesubmi> ted provldtnu
'.. .for bond* to carry out a les«elab3r ate
plan at this time as follows:
i   ■ Purchase or provide for pumps that
■will  greatly -increase- the   present
pumping power and make it adequate
for all emefgencief for fire protection
- Make Teasonable "Xtensions of mains
to provide water for all .entitled to
'it.. ,    •
• But it is pointed out by those advocating the adoption of the bonding
plan next Monday that in the long
run the present plan would be more
economical at the same time providing such water as would be satisfactory to all residents of the city, ail o1
which is being urged upon the smaller
taxpayers  and non-taxpayers of the
•    city. •     '
Some of the* voters, however, sa»
they will not avail themselves of the
opportunity of voting on the bonding
question because as non-taxpayers
they do nor. think they ought to have
any part, in forcing a taxpn, property
holders. In a school district only taxpayers can vote on a question -of rais-
" ing money, but the law governing that
was enacted subsequent to the one by
which all voters can4 vote on a city
bonding proposition.
At Ieist it is the duty of every one
who votes on this important question
.to do so intelligently. To do this he
must be conversant with the -facts ]
Theie is therefore need t'hafc each voter should carefully consider this matter and cast his ballot, yes or no, according to his best judgment.
Official Statement.
Herewith Is given exce'p's from an
open letter to the voters of Clare on
the bonding proposition signed by
M-iyor Lacy, Aldermen Bicknell. Mason, McKmnon, Brown, Hirt, and o>
the board of puolic works. Pres. Davy,
High, Orouse, and Reeder, the other
member M' Bid well being out of tin
city:
For this fiscal year the revenues will
be S490 20 exclusive of the 8600  received from the railroads,    Our con
tract with the railroads was only obtainable up m tbe condition that the
city arrange^ to net water from th>
river, and if this proposition is lost
tbe railroad   companies, will   pump
their own water, having already purchased tbe right of way   for   their
*raains.   This'in twenty years meins n
loss of &J2.000 to the city.   Tbe cost o«
pumping is now over" $1600 a year: and
the additional cost of repairs for worn
out mains and incidentals is upwards
of $40p a vear.   The cost for fire hose
alone for the past five years has been
.8700,'the wear-irifrbut of the old hose
"being due largely to tbe sendimem
left 'therein,   although, great   pains.
have been  taken in caring for. tbe
same. ' Few realize the filth of the
water we are no^r using ,vTbe sewer-
age^of. upwards bf twenty closets in
eluding the depot sewerage and several
barns, is deposited directly into tbe
county drain within eighty, rods of
tbe city intake.   Lust summer, when
the school bouse hydrant was flushed,
tfor thirty minutes the water flushed
therefrom  was.  black   and   putrid
That is the condition of every dead
end in the "y"tem.   As a result, valvee
are.clngned, .pipes are rusted, mains
destroyed, hose ruined, public health
aiid, property endangered, anda yearly
deficit  caused by reduced   revenues
owing to lick of water takers and the
attendant expenses of maintaining a
worn out system.
Among other reasons whereby we
have become convinced that the pro
position should be .eubniitted and
adopted are; the- inadequacy i-f firel
protection whereby the iocation of
labor employing industries is .d!«ci>ur
aged; the threatened advance of insurance rates and possible withdrawal
of many of the insurance1 complete*;
the prospective lowering of the county
therefrom and- darning thereof; the
fact that all.of the taxpayers are taxed
for water prlveleges and fire protection which 'but a few receive; that
there is an Increasing demand for
more mains; and for water for fire,
hiwn, sanitary, and domestic purposes;
the wurn out condition of the. punins
ind main.s, and the deiapidated condition of the, present system in general; the desirability of laying miiim-
before street urading were possible;
the financial necessity of retaining
the railroad contracts and increasing
the revenues for water for domestic
purposes; and the-,.absolute necessity
of a pu'rer water supply as a health
measure.
FORMER CUREITE.
Mann Siding, Hatton Township
We are indebted to a prominent citizen of vtann Siding for the following
fadis as to 1904 improvements and
comments that should have been added to those given some weeks ago:
-On section five John Pfonnes built a
18x28 kitchen onto his home and oullt
a lot of wire fence.
Section six-Peter Mater did lots of
clearing and fencing and built a frame
barn   V Pfonnes built an addition
o his house and cleared and f* need a
good deal.
. On section seven S J. Green has
built woven wire fence and made
much general improvement. In the
north half of this section a very commodious new church has been erected
and dedicated by the Holiness People.
Section eight—"W Boulton has put
wire fence around the place bought of
Mr Hendricks and put eighteen acres
of it in wheat and rye. Henry Wil
Mams has erected a wood two story
frame house 18<28 wjifc'i kitchen 16x20
and otherwise improved his place.
Frank Boulton has put in consdera-
ble woven wire fence, cleared eteht
'acres and put in wheat and rye on the
■*ame besides fifteen aces in hay. A.
Pfonnes has added a kitchen to his
house 14x2) and built a woven wire
fence around the place.
On section nine Mr. Hitts built a
house 18x28 also a new granary and
cleared considerable land.
On section seventeen Henry Bogue
built a new house and made general

Sketch of the Wedding of Dr. J.
W. Lansing, Mayor of FJitz-
yille, Wash.
•Dr. J. W. Lansing, Ritzvillc's chief
executive, this week, surprised his
many-friends by taking unto himself a
bride. The wedding was very quiet,
taking place in the doctor's elegant
office qu i rters over the Pioneer drug
store, at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. Clinton Staser officiating in the
presence • >l the witnesses.
The bride is Mrs, Sajrah T, Hamilton, a highly educated lady who f<>rr
raerly-resided in Seattle, where, Mr.
Lansing first met her some time
since.
Mr. Lansing is a well known leading
man of .this city, having enjoyed a
successful practice throughout the j
county for six vears. In politics as
well as all public questions fae always
takes an active part, and although
firm in his opin'ons, is not considered
adii-al. At the last repub ican s* ate
conv-ntion as*a delegate from this
county, he stood loyally by the con>
mission cause and did not hesitate to
let all know his position. To this and
other qualities is due his election as
mayor in December* last.
The people 6f Bitzville extend a
hearty welcome to the chief executive's worthy companion. As one of
us, may this he another happy home.

of
Tribute Paid to the Stability
Clare's Oldest Bank.
It is not. usual for a bank in a town
so smali as Glare to be named as one
of the places of deposit of state funds.
Such fepositorjes are usually confined
to the banking institutions* of large
cities. Bub so well has the Olare
County 'Savings Bank satisfied tin-
state Banking department, through
examiners sent here periodically, of,
its stability, th it it is now included
>n the list of banks of deposit for the
safe ke'eptng of state funds. !
All through the years since its establishment in 1885, including the
panic in 1893, it has always been ready
topay i-s d positors in full and has
deservedly won the name of reliab I-
ity and stability of which the designation, just made, Is another proof. .
Clare gladly accepts the tribute
paid to her prosperous condition
through her oldest bank. /

Justice in isaballa in 1904.
The following report speaks well for
Pros Att'y busenbury:
Number cases prosecuted, 175; number cases convicted, 125; number cases
acquitted, II; number cases dismissed
32; number cases settled, 7.
Two sent to Ionia reformatory for
not more than ten years. Two sent
to Jackson for five and fifteen years
each. Three to Detroit house of correction.
Over $600 collected in fines during
the past year.
A number of juvenile offenders sent
to reform school and girls reformatory.
Not a single case' lost in circuit
court during the year 1904.
Largest number prosecutions   for
one year in history of the county —
tnent floor and built a woven wire Northwestern Tribune,
fence around hi- place.
On section eighteen D. Green has
made extensive improvements including, wire fencing. On the Hamlin
ranch overforty acres has been cle red
and ploughed ready for spring crops,
not to mention considerable stumping done.
Much general improvements also
were made such as buildingnew roads,
grading, stumping the same and cutting down hills.
Another improvement that w uld
please the people of Mann Siding is
that those along "he road north of
Ulare would cut down the hills there.
They bother worse than the stumps.
We .here hope this work will be
pushed.       s
But there is plenty more of good
land that is going like hot cakes with
new settlers comin,' in all the time.
The only way is for a person to see the
land for him-elf, Every one,that
come- is surprised and speaks well for
Mann Siding and the land around
here. We have a good large school
house and always a good school right
m the centre of the neighborhood.
The new church is also in the centre
of the neighborhood Besides we have
good neighbors living in harmony and
working together trying to make our
community one or the best in Olare
county.
[During the pa<t two years $550 has
been spent on ihe road direct north
from Clare and during the present
year 8450 will be spent on the road
northeast from Olare to Dover,—Eds.]

Ditch Communication,
Editors Sentinel—After reading
your issue of recent date in regard to
your special election to decide whether
•r not your city bond to complete your
water works system, I was impressed
witn the thought of jus> ice enjoyed by
the people of your city as compared
with what is alloted to the farmers,
the back bone of your city. It is perhaps a fact that a complete water system would be a benefit to the entire
ci y but it requires a majority vote Of
the voters before th« bonding can be
forced upon the tax payers.
But in our case ten men can say by
signing a drain petition, "Dredge that
stream up through Sheridan, Grant,
Ha ton and Arthur. We know it
won't benefit any one very much and
will compel some of the farmers to
get out, but there is a li" tie 'het-l' in
1' for certain parties and we'll just
make those felloes put
forty thousand dollars

pros and cons of parry politics. This
is in accordance with the suggestions
offered by the proper authorities of
the state-i<range. Other granges are
working along* similar lines
Communications recently sent out

within the respective granges. For
example* the executive committee says
througn iti ch.airman, E. A. 'Holden,
"Our deputies are selected more especially with regard to their ability

charge Every time the fire company

$60 for which no return is made in
anyway Living in Vernon is popular and taxes are low.—Northwestern
Tribune.
A sentiment similar to the above
recently appeared in a Clare county
paper. But the facts are that nothing has officially been said to the authorities of Vernon asking them to
share in the expense incident to
Clare's fire department going "'to the
rescue of those living just outside of
the city limits in Vernon township.
Will Dig Its Way Eight Miles.
The construction' of the ■ Loomis
drain dredge has so far proceeded as
to indicate that it will be no child's
play when it begins to throw out big
chunks bf dirt. Massive timbers form
its foundation, 14x56 feet and thereon
all the necessary machinery is being,
placed in position and in about a
month the big arm, operated/ by a
powerful'engine, will cause its big
scoop to eat up dirt, stumpsand whatever comes in.its way and spew it out
on either side as It digs its way eight,
miles southeast to its outlet in the
Little Salt.
On James Marliu's farm, section five,
in Wise township, a big hole has been
dug in the ground and therein the
dredge is being built. Beginning at
the head of the ditch, it will always
have plenty of water to float down
stream as It digs its own way. Some
people, interested, rejoice at the prospect of swamps disappearing along its
course while others make wry faces as
ate'the taxes are contemplated. Beit at
i least the 817,000 ditch is a go.
