r CAME through this country in the
Spring of 1884, on my way east from
six or eight months tour through the
southwest. visited the Grand Rapids

meusiiy OF its water-power-concluded q
canal through here must ere long be built
Seeing the fertility of the soil--its advan-

perry. and came on with my family the
next November. came here with fall
determination to make this county the
home of myself and family the balance OF
my life, and not to buy lands and wal, for
other peoples labor 10 make them valua-
bic, but to put the shoulder to the wheel
and help improve the country by building
good substantial mills, such as the coun-
try needed, and to erect other machinery,
as the wants of the country might dictate.
The operation was too heavy for my ca
piial. Daring the summer and fall Of
1895 formed strong company. and in
the winter of '35 and 6 got a charter
glan,ed by the legislature for the Mar
settles Manufacturing Company. In the
spring of 1896 commenced operations

few inhabitants in this country at thai
time, and that labor was extremely scarce
and hard to got. | kept a team running
to Chicago and through the country for
laborors, and paid as high as $3.50 per
day for common labOrers. in some eases.
1t will also be recollecicd tina, '35 aud sc
were extremely wet years; that the
streams were up frequently through the
summer, and heavy freshels in the fall.
All these difficulties prevented me from,
getting our dam finished. A heavy faIi
(reshe, came, and nearly onc-,hiri of the
dam, in the middle of the stream, was un-
covered, and il all went off. clean to the
bottom. | went TO work and put in this
portion of the dam, in dead of winter, bu,
tina. tremendous ice frcshct that carried of
so many dams, mills. and bridges, carried
it all off. clean to the foundation. The
river gorged just below the dam, the ice
set back under the breast of the dam and
lifted tup. and it became brohen to pieces
and mixed with the ice. When the ice
gave way below, ice and dam all went to-
gether. | have said this much to show
that no blame rested on me on accoun, %
these losses. That ! did every ding lha
could have been done under the circum
stances, believe every one acquainted
with the case will do me the Justice t.
