raising it will pay farmers TO grow
wheat in rotation with grass and corn,
and that will be soon. Railroads
have been made into most OF the
valleys of the West. and the skimming
process has regularly followed the
railroad. The richest lands will refuse
to raise wheat after wheat forever.
Nature rebels. Disease and insects

North. 1t is exploiting the dry lati-
tudes of the South. It leaves barren
ness in it's track. The garnered
wealth of the soil of a continent Ia
being rapidly exhausted. Nor is
wheat the only ravager; cotton and
tobacco are destroying the fields OF the
South. The cotton and tobacco raisers
of the Gulf States are now meeting the
wheat growers of the Northwest with
the last great stretch of virgin soil
between the thirty-sixth and fortieth
parallels. Every valley and plain and
foothill will be sought out and Laid

NEW COUNCIL.

The new council as now organized is
representative of the vital interests of
Grand Rapids DR.. G. F. Witter, mayor
and chairman of the board came to this
city from Wautoma in 1859, and has
been permanent resident ever since.
He has prospered in the practice of
his profession until he is now noted
among the capitalists of this city
Since his location here the doctor has
been one of the most earnest and faith
ful workers, for the success and pros
perity of the city, that she can boast of,
and it was fitting compliment to his
efforts, to elect him mayor without
opposition, of the city that it has
always given him pleasure to further
her best interest. The doctor has
never sought Office, however, his
seen to It that he was kept on the
school board where the result of his
labors were always felt. He was
elected the first county Superintendent
VI HCltOciS VI W OOd Nouuly III 1COA, el1Id
served in that capacity for several
consecutive terms. The success of the
schools in this county are largely due to
the fact that they were we'll organized
years ago when the doctor was superin-
tendent. The city schools have pros
pered, due to the stimulating efforts of
the doctor while amember of that board.
Now that he has been placed at the
head of city affairs in the capacity of
mayor, we may look for the same
careful consideration on his part, as to
the city's welfare that he has shown in
the past in other positions.
He will be assisted by an able corps
of aldermen whose experience as
business men will prove of great
service. As now organized the council
will stand: Messrs. Jacob Lutz, Fred
Closuit, Geo. w Baker, John Henry,
Robert Parrish, T. C. St. Amour, John
Tmm and Dan. Case. Five Of these
persons have already served the city in
that capacity, and the balance are men OF
practical experience and good Judge
ment upon whom the duties of alder
men will rest easily. The people look
/ forward to a successful and economical
administration III which we believe
| they look not in vain.
