Isabella's Drainage System,
lb is a well known fact that both
Isabella and Gratiot are counties not
looking for a system of irrigation but
on the contrary are pretty well interwoven with a network of drainage.
In; fact a part of Isabella's system
reaches into Jlare county. Aa important elaboration of the system is now
in progress. A drain eleven miles
long aud large enough for a^ood sized
canal is to be constructed during the
next year, the first section of which
is to be thirty-five feet wide at the top
and twenty feet at the bottom and the
second section thirty feet at the top
and eighteen feet at the bottom,
Tracing it up stream, it is to leave
the north branch of the Chippewa,
west of Mt. Pleasant at the Bradley
bridge road in the township of Deer-
field and running north through Deer-
field and JN Ottawa is to end at section
28 in Gilmore about seven miles from
Olare. From it branches will be extended as needed draining the townships of Gilmore, Nottawa, Deerfleld,
TJnion and Vernon and redeeming
tfaousunds of acres of best farming
lands.
Work has already been begun upon
the construction of the boat3 necessary for the machinery to be utilized
as well as for a house for the workmen
and about 20,000 feet of lumber will
be required for this pereliminary part
of the work. The evacuation js
to be done by dredging and when «in
Operation will doubtless be visited'by
many interested spectators. Whether
this canal shall be used for other purposes than drainage is a question not
yet propounded but when completed
it will mean a waterway from Mt.
Pleasant up to the lakes just south of
Olare. It is however in the possibilities of land development from this extensive system of drainage that its
value lies and since Clare's interests
are wrapped up equally with .northern
Isabella and Olare counties we note
with pleasure this new enterprise for
the development of Isabella's resources.	
Got Hold oi Laudanum.
A two and a half year old son of
Alex Dudley of Farwell got hold of a
bottle of laudanum and took a taste of
Jibe deadly poisos before he could be
stopped but medical aid was speedily
at Band and tbe child's life saved and
now he is none the worse for the experience.
CLARE   IMPROVEMENTS.
A stone foundation has been placed
under the residence of Henry Ball and
cellar also enlarged.
"Keep off" notices have been placed
at the cross paths springing into existence at the city park.
The nice catch of white clover on
the school grounds with only a year
or two of attention plainly tells what
might be done on the city park.
Jim Bicknell is having erected at
the corner of County line and Maple
street a commodious ten room residence, all rooms with 36 inch glass.
Mr. Bicknell and family will occupy
this when completed and with Will
at the north end of town and Jim at
the south end, Olare will be pretty
well protected.
Within the past year there has been
laid on the streets of Clare approximately the following number of rods
of cement walks:—ordinary sidewalks
100 rods, walks leading from sidewalks
to residences 40 rods; twelve foot
walks on McEwan street, 25 rods;
equivalent to about 200 rods of ordinal y four and a half foot cement walk.
Cement walks have been laid since
our last issue or are now in course of
construction at Graves' property, two
residences on east third street, La-
piarre's and Wood's residences, west
Sixth street, Kelley'a and Dunwoodie's
and Derby's property, three residences

Plans for the New  Brick Block.
The Clare Hardware Company have
already gotton out plans for their new
brick block to be erected on the corner
of McEwan and Fourth streets. The
building is to be constructed primarily to meet the needs oi the company
for a modern thoroughly equipped retail hardware. It is to be 33x100 feet
and two stories high. On the ground
floor there will be the hardware facing un McEwan street and a harness
shop at the east end, facing on fourth
street; on the second floor two Set of
private offices, a telephone office and
at the eastern end a tin shop. Haug
and Schurman of Saginaw are the architects and the design promises one
of the most beautiful, if not the superior, of any of, the store fronts in
Clare. The building now occupied by
the company will be temporarily
moved over next to the Tatman grocery.
With "The Calkins" already a synonym for what a hotel ought to to be,
the Messrs. Calkins are to be congratulated on tnis new enterprise that
plainly tells of the substantial growth
of their business and with equal plainness sets forth the development and
prosperity of the surrounding country.
Sunday School Excursion.
Seven representatives of the Sabbath schools of Clare, Isabella and
Midland counties including C. E. Parsons and A. L. Woodlock of Ciare and

They were shown every coutesy by
