Waterworks Matters Unsettled
Pending Experiments for
Water Supply,
In a few clays the proceeds of the
water bonds, 816,750, will be in 'the
city treasury and all the formalities
except signing of contraofca in a few
cases have been completed fo?r pushing forward tpe proposed improvements on the Clare water works system. But now the city's right to take
water above the Tobaoco river dam is
disputed, A proposition to locate the
plant below the dam has been considered but that was found entirely impractical both in the great cost .of extending a large water main so far and
In the very much greater.power needed to elevate water from below the
dam. An informal council meeting
was held in Mayor Lacy's« office Tuesday evening and at the regular meeting of the council Wednesday evening
the water works question was under
consideration. Little, however, wat.
done except to pass a resolution instructing the Mayor to appoint a kind
of connecbinglink committee between
the council aDd the board of public
works which the Mayor^wlll name
later. The council expresses itself informally as being perfectly willing to
give the board of works a free hand
while some of the members of th,
board insist that they are not anxious
to assume all the responsibility.
There is talk now of putting dowt,
test wells in tbe city park and, if
water of suitible quality and quantity
is found, to erect a tank there.
Meanwhile the contractor for laying
mains is to go ahead with the extensions, with an elastic clause in his
contract, enabling the city later t<-
make the necessary connections wifcli
the water works plant when its sit*
shall have been 'determined. Contractor Brooks expects to begin operations early in May.
ood Words For a Glare Man
Joseph Hudson of this city is one of
the board of trustees of the Michigan
Employment Institution for the Blind
in Saginaw. The buildings have been
erected and the institution started
"under their management. That Mr.
Hudson has applied the same suecess-
.—tf business methods to his part of
the management of a state institution
as characterizes' him in bis private
business, is shown from the following
from the Saginaw Evening News relative to the visit of the senatorial
committee of inspection to the Institution:
"It was the first visit of the senators
to the buildings and the surprise at
the showing made by the institution
trustees was great. Senator Doherty
said to the —Tews that while there
were better and more expensive pub
lie buildings in the state, nowhere
has the money been as well expended."
"The institution now has fifty members and is said to be self-sustaining
as far as maintenance charges are concerned. The committee found it to be
working every where in a very commendable manner and was very much
pleased with its visit. While the
amount allowed here is kss than for
other state institutions), it is agreed
that at present there is* no reason, it
should be as great. After a year's operation more data can be secured and
if needed more money will be authorized by the committee."
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
Dover Road Contract to be Let
at the Bridge Northeast of
' Clare Saturday, One
P. Al. '
The Clare county board of supervisors at the session lasfc October appropriated $200 for road improvement
from the Tobacco river bridge north
on the Dover road. The committee
appointed consisted of the last year's
supervisors of the four townships directly interested—Grant, Sheridan,
Arthur and Hatton. Tomorrow. Saturday, afternoon atone p. m. the committee consisting of 0.0. Sboll, J. R.
Herrick, L. W. Sunday and John Gordon will be at the bridge to let the
job of properly fixing the sandy portion north of the bridge and such
other jobs as they may deem necessary. They propose not to do any
temporary fixing but to make permanent whatever they attempt.
There was also appropriated at the
same time $250 for the road from the
bridge into Clare. This will be expended this spring under-the m«n-
a^ement of Supervisor Jackson and
Mayor Lacy of this city and C. 0.
Stoll of Grant. Also $200 was set
aside for a new br<dge across the little Tobacco on McBwan street.
Direst Nominations Plan.
The main pointsof the Double Ivory-
Dickinson bill, passed by the House
last week and now being considered
in the Senate with the probability of
spei-dy enactment with slight amendments, are as follows:
On the first Monday of April 1906
and every two years thereafter there
■shall be party enrollment in every
counfcy in the state.
On the second Tuesday in June 1906
themembers of each party throughout
the state will vote at the polls whether they will nominate governor and
lieutenant governor for their party by
direct vote. A majority vote will decide. Those enrolled as democrats
will vote on the matter for their
party only, and so for other parties.
The p irby carrying the primary plan
wid nominate its candidates for these
two state offices by direct vote, the
rest to be nominated in state convention. The party not approving the
plan will nominate all its candidates
in state convention.
The second Tuesday iu Jane 1906
and every two years thereafter delegates shall be elected by each pany
by direct vote to a county convention
to elect delegates to the state conven
tion.
Each party in each county, legislative and congressional district shall,
if petitioned for by twenty per cent
of its enrolled members, vote whether
or not to nominate its candidates by
direct vote aud the matter can be
re voted on. A maj irity vote decides.
Some amendments are deemed necessary so as to make it clear thafc fche
act shall apply to governor for 1906,
Sparsely settled townships should be
protected from the expense involved,
perhaps exempted from fche necessity
of holding primaries The law should
be made state wide instead of omitting such counties as now have primary
elections.- Each parfcy is entitled tp
oversee the enrolling of its own members and have at least part control
at ihe primary elections.
i Couple Lest Their Home
During the fierce wind Wednesday
_ spark from tbe chimney of the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Smith, one and
one-half miles north of Oolonville,
isaugnt in the dry moss on the lean-to
and in short order the whole structure
was reduced to ashes. Had it been a
little later the changing of the. wind
would have swept away fche barn too,
bat as it was Chat was not touched.
__e only things saved were a table,
they have used for fifty-five years, a
feather bed and one chair. Mr. Smith
Is eighty-five years of age and-tbe loss
pf their home is a bard blow to the
aged couple.

As narrated in these columns in
February there is prospect that tbe
Manistee and Grand Eapids line extending from Manistee to Dighton
and now within three miles of Marion
may cross Clare county on to Gladwin
and even to Bay City. Last week
Thursday the railroad officials met
the people at a public meeting afc Marion and a resolution was passed asking
the Marion township board to call a
special election to raise'$1000 to aid in
(securing right of way for, the railroad
into the village.
Last Friday evening there was a
public meeting at Harrison with railroad officials present. They asked the
city and surrounding townships to Secure right of way for them. The following committee was appointed to
push the matter: Mayor Quinn, W.
H. Wilson, J. E. Brown and G. J.
Cummins. <■
The extension would prove a splendid thing for Winterfield, Greenwood,
Hamilton and other townships as well
as for the city ot Harrison'
ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
Legislature Changes Date to Second Monday in July. School
Census to be Taken in May.
•Ae& TSo 36 of the Public Acts of 1905
changes the present school law so thafc
all school districts, except where
otherwise provided by special enactment, shall hold their annual school
meeting the second Monday in July
and the school year will begin at that
time, also new officers will then begin
their term of office. In Clare and
many of the districts in Olare and Isabella counties the annual school meeting has been held on the first Monday
in September.
Henceforth the annual meeting of
boards of school inspectors will be
held on the first Monday of August.
The school census will in the future
be taken during the fifteen days next
prior to the first Monday in June except that in cities over 3,000 inhabitants io shall be taken during the
twenty days preceeding that date.
The reason for changing this time of
taking school census from September
1-, that the time designated by the new
law is when a larger percentage of
families are in their own homes, in
the latter part of August in particular
many families are at summer resorts.
Several, other changes in unison
with these relative to reports of school
officers, etc., are also made. But all
the changes relate to the business of
the school year but do not in any way
affect the time of beginning school.
Such matters remain as they have
been in the control of each separate
district.
Ann Arbor Improvements North

DIGGING LOOMIS DITCH,
fieridan Echo from big Ditch
In the belief that the ditch incident
is closed so far as Sheridan township
is concerned, at the annual township
meeting $100 was voted for the cleaning out of parts of McEwan and Stony
creek's in Sheridan township.
The township voted $500 for highway, $600 for bridges, $800 for statute
labor and $600 for the contigent fund.
Dredge Makes Twenty Rods a
Day Across Wise Township.
Many are the visitors to watch the
big dredge on its eight mile trip southeast from " James Marlin's farm in
northwest Wise township, fco fche Salfc.
It will eat up only a little sum of $17,-
000 but the Loomis ditch is daily becoming more of a reality. Already
the big arm of the dredge bas scooped
its way a mile.' Nine men minister to
its wants and night and day it goes
forward at the rate of twenty rods
each twenty-four hours.
A Sentinel representative found
it an Interesting sight to watch the
work. The dredge is 14x54 feet with
the employee's home floating in .the
rear, A good engine furnishes the
power, A man grasps the levers.
The big scoop is let down by the pow-
erful^trra; the levers reverse; into the
earth goes the scoop, ripping up
stumps or whatever comes in its
course; steadily upward ib goes; the
arm swings to right or left; a man
pulls a small rope; out falls the contents of the scoop and thua the process goes on. Every now and then
the side arms resting on the bank are
raised and fche whole structure floats
downstream ten or more feet and
thus the digging goes on.
M. "W, Horning, the contractor, of
Saginaw is on the ground in char_e of
the work. Each of the men employed
is a blacksmith and practical mechanic.

WILL BE VOTED ON
BY THE PEOPLE.
Primary Election Procedure to
be Submitted to Party
Vote.
Lansing, April 16.
The record battle of the session, so
far, was fought in the house last
Wednesday when the Double-Ivory
primary bill reported from the elections committee came up as fche spec*
ial order for consideration in committee of the whole. The popular interest in the issue was manifested by
such crowded galleries and areas as
have not been had before. The entire session was given to the subject.
More than fcwentyspeeches were made
for and against the proposition.
* * * #
The debate closed about half past
six o'clock when vociferous cries demanded a vote. The result was a surprise to the supporters of fche com*
mifctee report, showing forty-seven to
forty-three for accepting the Dickinson substitute. The committee fchen
rose and the question was taken in
fche house upon accepting the conclusion of the committee on the whole,
and a yea and nay vote placed the substitute bill upon fche order of third
reading by fifty-three to forfcy-two.
and the house adjourned ab seven
o'clock.
Ifc was well understood thafc this
did not end fche struggle. There was
tbe ordeal of consideration in the
house, and then in the senate, with
efforts to amend or to substitute at
every step, and no man sould forsee
the result. But in bhe interval before
fche assembling Thursday afternoon,
an agreement was reached through
mutual concession and compromise,
by which Ifc was hoped a UDited support might be secured for a measure
which should reasonably satisfy all
views and assure what all desired, a
reasonable, workable primary reform
law. Accordingly, upon reassembling
fche house promptly took up the subject anew, reconsidered the vote of
the previous session, and went into
committee again upon the Double-Ivory bill. The committee reconsidered
its action and adopted an amendment
Incorporating Into the bill the Dickinson provision for party nominations
for governor and lieutenaht governor
by direct ballot at fche option of fche
several parties in tne state, as the bill
already provides for such nominations
for congressmen and legislators at the
option of the parties In the districts,
and for county officers at the option
of the parties in tbe counties. The
bill so amended was then passed in
the house with but one dissenting
vote, and the popular title was
amended so thafc it should be called
the Double-Ivory-Dickinson bill, and
as such Ifc went to the senate.
* * * *
In fche upper house bhe new bill
meets the Baird bill, which is a copy
of fche original Double-Ivory bill with
a small addition of ten lines. That is
a provision that delegates fco conventions or any parfcy shall be apportioned upon bhe parfcy vote, instead of
upon the total vote as present. Delegations from counties fco fche sfcate
convention, from towns to the counfcy
convention, from wards to fche city
convention, would be given votes in
their conventions relatively to fche
strength of their constituencies, and
not to their weakness. The county
with two thousand republican votes,
able to give a thousand majority to
the republican ticket, would not be
Outvoted in the making of that ticket
by a county with only five hundred
republican votes and no republican
majority ab all, on the strength of its
polling three thousand democrat votes
as could be now. The town that faithfully supports the democrat cause
would not have its voice smothered in
the democrat counfcy convention by
some larger town with but half so
many democrat votes and an overriding republican majority.
After all, why would not that be
right? On what principle of representation should hold hostile majorities
increase the influence ot a delegation
in a party's councils? Does not equality of rights require that a party
voter in one t»»n oroounfcy Shall have
an equal voice with one in another
town or county, in deciding upon fche
party's candidates and platform? That
Is'tbe way in other states, and fchafc is
the principle in the laws for primary
1 voting upon candidates and delegates;
land no big opposition vofce can add
'any force to the party expression afc
[any primary poll. So this feature of
the Baird bill, which has been assailed
as an atfcack upon bhe prestige of some
of the. counties, is in that respect entirely In harmony with the primary
theory. Horton,

A Broomfleld farmer last week drew

Considerable comment Is being made
by nearby residents at our lakes about
the violations of the fish laws said to

of the Cold water Lake hotel, is the

New Series: VqI.13,Ko. 22 UP! .L Waterworks Matters Unsettled Pending Experiments for Water Supply, In a few clays the proceeds of the water bonds, 816,750, will be in 'the city treasury and all the formalities except signing of contraofca in a few cases have been completed fo?r pushing forward tpe proposed improvements on the Clare water works system. But now the city's right to take water above the Tobaoco river dam is disputed, A proposition to locate the plant below the dam has been considered but that was found entirely impractical both in the great cost .of extending a large water main so far and In the very much greater.power needed to elevate water from below the dam. An informal council meeting was held in Mayor Lacy's« office Tuesday evening and at the regular meeting of the council Wednesday evening the water works question was under consideration. Little, however, wat. done except to pass a resolution instructing the Mayor to appoint a kind of connecbinglink committee between the council aDd the board of public works which the Mayor^wlll name later. The council expresses itself informally as being perfectly willing to give the board of works a free hand while some of the members of th, board insist that they are not anxious to assume all the responsibility. There is talk now of putting dowt, test wells in tbe city park and, if water of suitible quality and quantity is found, to erect a tank there. Meanwhile the contractor for laying mains is to go ahead with the extensions, with an elastic clause in his contract, enabling the city later t<- make the necessary connections wifcli the water works plant when its sit* shall have been 'determined. Contractor Brooks expects to begin operations early in May. ood Words For a Glare Man Joseph Hudson of this city is one of the board of trustees of the Michigan Employment Institution for the Blind in Saginaw. The buildings have been erected and the institution started "under their management. That Mr. Hudson has applied the same suecess- .—tf business methods to his part of the management of a state institution as characterizes' him in bis private business, is shown from the following from the Saginaw Evening News relative to the visit of the senatorial committee of inspection to the Institution: "It was the first visit of the senators to the buildings and the surprise at the showing made by the institution trustees was great. Senator Doherty said to the —Tews that while there were better and more expensive pub lie buildings in the state, nowhere has the money been as well expended." "The institution now has fifty members and is said to be self-sustaining as far as maintenance charges are concerned. The committee found it to be working every where in a very commendable manner and was very much pleased with its visit. While the amount allowed here is kss than for other state institutions), it is agreed that at present there is* no reason, it should be as great. After a year's operation more data can be secured and if needed more money will be authorized by the committee." HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

' The Clare county board of supervisors at the session lasfc October appropriated $200 for road improvement from the Tobacco river bridge north on the Dover road.
