Water for Manufacturers.


We print this morning the Articles
of Association by which company
has been formed for the purpose of
supplying the manufacturing estab-
lishments of our city with plenty of
water. We understand that this Com
pany is in no wise designed tosinter-
fere with the organization of com
pany for the construction of permanent
water-wofks, but to supply, Temporal
rily, a. want that bid fair to close our
manufacturing establishments alto
gether The Articles Of Association
specify the manner in which water is
to be procured and furnished all who
may desire it. The canal is to be re-
paired to the reservoir, and sufficient
water let in to keep it always in good
order. We are toldthat the reservoir
is I'M good condition and 4hA4rpur III
Tie difficulty will be realized in keep
ing a constant and regular supply of
water at all seasons of the year. Tt is
in contemplation, also, to make the
canal navigable. for boats as far as
Millersburg. This win be of great
advantage to the city. Produce of all
kinds-and Mfllersburg is in the
midst of a productive country-will
be transported to the city, when the
County and State roads are well nigh
impossible. Wood Will be materially
cheapened by the easy transportation
the canal win afford The poor, who
have experienced how hard it is to
keep warm in the winter season, when
the condition of the roads prevented
farmers from hauling wood to the city,
and the price Of that article advanced
to figures beyond their means, will
appreciate any and every instrument
ality which has an influence in bring
ing down the price of this necessary
of life. o hs T8k 3sn ,iz]A
The Company desire to add to their
number all those who feel an interest
in the matter and are willing to sub

willing to invest in an enterprise of

GENERAL CasS.

This distinguished Statesman died
at his residence in Detroit, on Sun
day evening last, at 4 O'Clock An
exchange gives the following brief
sketch of his life and public services:
He was born in Exeter, New Hamp-
shire, October 9, 1882, and therefore
was over eighty-three years of age.
For several years his health has been
frail, and for some months but little
of life or intelligence renamed. At
the age of seventeen he crossed the
Allegheny Mountains, on foot, and
settled in Marietta, Ohio. Attic age
of twenty-five he was elected a mem
Der of the Legislature of the State,
and originated the bill which arrest
ed the proceedings of Aaron Burr
He was appointed, by President JEFF
ferson. Marshal Of the State, In 1907,
and held the Office four years, when
he resigned, volunteering for the In
dian war, and was elected Colonel of
the Sd regiment of Ohio volunteers.
II = --..sa 4il.-f foremost Of the irrrsAdors
of Canada, in the war of 1912, and his
conduct was very creditable, He was
appointed Colonel in the army, and
elected Major General of Ohio Vol
unteers. well known incident of
his military career was the breaking
of his sword at Hull'sb disgraeeful
surrender. sAt the desperate batl
tie of the Thames he was volunteer
aid to General Harrison, happening
at the moment to he present without
a command. President Madison, in
1913, appointed him Governor of
Michigan. In 1881 he was made Sec
rotary of War by President jackson.
In 1886 he was appointed, by Jackson,
Minister to France, which Office he
filled until 1912, when he was recalled
at his own request. In 1915 the Legis-
lature of Michigan elected him United
States Senator, which position he filed
until nominated for the Presidency, in
1848. He was defeated by General
Taylor, and in 1919 was reelected
Senator from Michigan. f.l 81
Mr.. Buchanan appointed him Sec
rotary of State, which position he re-
signed in 1860, because Buchanan
would not take decided measures
against the Southern rebels. His ac-
ton in this matter was in the highest
degree honorable, and will be held in
grateful remembrance by his loyal
countrymen. General Cass, by the
rise of real estate in the city of De-
troit, in which he had the sagacity to
invest the savings of his early man
hood, became very wealthy His pro-
perty has been estimated to be worth
millions, and he has been known for
long time as the richest man in
Michigan. a6
