THE GRANGE AND INSURANCE.
here in Clare in particular all things
flourish or decline as do our agricultural interests.. That the farmers are
recognizing their power and making it
effective in organization is evident..
The development of land in this vicinity is at present phenomenal. New
settlers are coming in all the time.
In the county news for this week
several allusions are made to this fact.
The Sentinel will always be glad to
record any of the facts relative to the
development and organization of
Clare and Isabella counties.
Growth in Clare and Isabella, an
Echo from the Recently Pro-
posed County Mutual  Fire
Insurance Company.
The Grange is increasing its activity
in this part of the state. Already there
are six organizations in Isabella and
five in Clare county. G. C. Lelbrand
of the Mt. VernOn Grange has an organizer's commission for Isabella and
Glare counties and* is pushing the
.work vigorously. The preliminary
proceedings for a Grange in Grant
township were passed through at the
Grant town hall last week when C. C
Stoll was chosen master and Julius
Schaffer, Jr., secretary. A charter
has been applied for from the National
Grange at Washington. Likewise the
preliminaries for the third Grange organization in Vernon township will be
completed at the Wilson school house
this evening.
The Grange seems to be active in
Michigan at present. No less than
104 Granges have been organized in
the state from October' to October.
November 12th the National Grange
meets in Michigan for a two weeks'
session.
In addition to considerable power
exercised through discussions relative to any Important public question, the Grange has recently entered ]%
a new field of usefulness to the farming community, fire  insurance   for
farm property to its members.    The thgmas s. dorsey.

■wem issued last April and such' rapid
progress has been made that but recently the proposition to organize a
Clare County Mutual .Fire Insurance
Company was rejected by our farmers
bacause this department of the Grange
is rapidly insuring a large amount of
farm .property. During last week G.
C. Lelbrand received applications for
no less than 817,000 insurance on farm
property in Clare county. At present
ifcis impossible for the average farmer
to get insurance for his property but
■airough the Grange many a farmer
receives insurance who here at least
Jiad previously applied in vain. The
insurance department is a state Qr-

Inspiration Institute.
A real inspiration institute occupied
the attention of nearly every Clare
county teacher (65 in all) at tlie high
school during the last three days of
last week. Prof. G. W. Loomis and
Miss Lucy Sloan of the Mt. Pleasant
normal constituted tne storm center
with Com'r'Aldrich fomenting storm
conditions.
At the opening session C. W. Perry
licans of the connty to elect any of her
favorite sons to offlce, but this year
she does ask the support of the county
for the election of Thomas S. Dorsey.
He is a worthy citizen and a good
business man. As he was a go^city
treasurer so he would be a good county
treasurer. Clean in character, pleasant and obliging in business relations
and faithful to duty, Mx." Dorsey is
just the man for the offlce of county
treasurer, and the people of the county
will so express themselves next Tuesday*

SENAl'OA A. 0". DOHERTY
Is a Clare county man whose life is interwoven with the development of
this part of the state. He is above all a man of common sense. He has made
an excellent record in the present legislature. He is a man of the people, a
level-headed business man. Clare county will do her part in giving the
Senator a majority more decisive even than that of two years ago.
Voter— Will you not next Tuesday exercise the most sacred of rights
by recording your vote and thus
share in the governmeutof the nation,
state and county? -.
on behalf of the board of education
gave a very cordial welcome to the
teachers of the county after which Mr.
Loomis generated the first inspiration
zephyrs with a discussion of 'Institute Ideals."  Miss Sloan, in dealing
with actual literature, "Among the
Hills" and "Vision of Sir Launfal"
transformed the zephyrs into a mighty
current and as the two alternately set
forth the practical phases of school
life from clean floors to moral "duty,
the swift currents became a real storm
of inspiration sweeping away the cobwebs of being satisfied with the present attainments of our schools.
In the lull of Thursday evening,
good cheer and pedagogical banter
whiled away a pleasant hour at the
reception given by Miss Lydia Ort,
teacher of the third grade in the city
schools, at her home on Sixth street,
while Friday evening visions of the
glory of mighty Eome fleeted before
the pedagogical eye as Prof. D'Ooge
lectured on the "Ancient Mistress of
World."
In all particulars the Institute was
the most successful one held in the
county and all concerned are to be
congratulated on its accomplishments.
Nester Dam Rebuilt.
From the old dam across the north
branch of the Tobacco river over in
Arthur township, built by the Westers
years ago for lumbering purposes, has
come the name Wester Dam by which
the school district and the locality is
designated. Last July during one of
the many floods the old dam was swept
away. But Eoss Brothers of Beaverton, who now own the lumbering interests, had a quantity of logs below
the flam, that could be taken on down
to 'Beaverton only by floods suddenly let
loose as controlled by a dam, as well
as having 250,000 feet of lumber above
the dam, found it necessary to rebuild
it. They had but fairly started when
the water washed through below and
swept all away. Laying a large beam
across the river, again they started the
construction, but before completion
was reached the beam broke in two
places and all was again swept down
the river. In the .third effort they
determined to do the work right by
driving piles to make the structure
substantial. But scarcely had they
started when the foreman got his
thumb smashed under the pile driver
and again some delay came. But at
length the work is about completed
and speedily the floating of logs down
the river to Beaverton will be con-
. trolled as in days of old.

Judge Carpenter.
W. L. Carpenter, the Eepublican
candidate for judge of the supreme
court, is the type of man whom the
people of Michigan love to honor, ln
addition to his eminent legal attainments, he is respected and admired
in all the other lelabions of life by all
who know him. The writer resided
several years in the village of Orion,
adjoining which on his farther'a farm
Judge Carpenter spent his earlier life
and all speak kindly and with pride
of the boy and young man who has attained to eminence in the legal profession. With such a type of manhood
in all of her candidates the Eepublican party of Michigan would never
need fear the attacks of a n y of ber
foes.
