MIR. HALE FOR COMMISSIONERS.

TWIN lOHlu otutlHtls
Editor Sentinel:-It is the duty of
every voter OF Ionia county, to stand
by our school commissioner in his re-
election. AS was said by the board Of
supervisors last fall in appointing the
janitor, 1--WE cannot afford to educate a
II new man each year"
1t is so with the commissioner of
schools. A man in any profession, no
matter what it is il he does his duty, in
justice, should have a second term, and
on this ground, we certainly are under
obligations to Mr.. +. B. Hale. He has
been proficient commissioner, and his
administration stands second to none
with former commissioners. He has
been the means OF general revival in
school interests and duties, and has
given through his effors the best in
SEPARATION Institutes ever held in Ionia
county. Mr.. Hale has also given asso-
Citations Of teachers in every township
of the county and has by his inspiring
enthusiasm made his might felt among
the, teachers, which record will show
for itself Nearly, il not quite all OF
the teachers of the county endorse him.
Each and every voter should go to the
polls on April without prejudice and
without partisan bias and cast his vote
for his own best interest and for the
best interest OF the people OF Ionia
county. In so doing they will make
no mistake by voting for +. b. Hale.

POLTTICS DON'T COUNT.

Spring elections are usually con-

favorite. You can do better there on

TO DAM ARIZONA iGORGES.
To Gather Water Where Rain Sell
i'do==. Falls.

President Ripley, of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad has let
a contract for the construction of two
big dams of masonry in the Arizona
desert, a region which is visited by
rains but once year. The dams will
be at the mouths of two canons or
gorges, twelve or eighteen miles dis
tant from the railroad; one of them the
gorge In which the cliff jewellers Of a
prehistoric age lived. p. One Of the
oanons is about 900 feet wide at its
mouth and the other about 500, but the
walls of the latter are more precipitous
they are almost perpendlcuiar-the
decline from the mountain is not so
sharp, and consequently it will hold
nearly if not quite as much water. Eacn
of these dams will hold 50,000,000 gal
Ions Of water-enoughi for the COM
pany's use along the Arizona division
for eighteen months. including losses
by evaporation and seepage The dams
will be forty feet high. constructed Of
sandstone quarried near by and laid in
Portland cement.
be in the form of the letter S, thus con-
forming to the natural fall of water
from such height and avoiding the
wear and tear of sudden precipitation.
Between the two dams of masonry,
which will be a long distance apart,
will be constructed a smaller dam of
iron. The cost of this dam will be much
less in proportion than the stone reser-
voirS, but it will not last nearly SO
long, and it is to be, put in as a COM
parative experiment. The stone res
ervoirs will cost about 100000. The
interest on this sum is about 80 1-3 per
cent of the present cost Of hauling the
water to the tanks which they will sup
ply. The water will; be piped from
the reservoirs to the tanks on the line
of the road. The enterprise has led to
another experiment, which may result
in discovery of even greater value.
In the valleys and on the mountain
sides where the dams are to be con-
structed are deposits of volcanic Gin
ders, similar in color and apparently in
ingredients To the lava cinders from
Mount VesuTius, fl ON which W Is m anu
featured the cement in which was laid
the ma son of the Col seum, aque lucts,
and viaducts of Rome, which have
withstood the ravages of time for more
than 1000 years.
Twenty barrels of the Arizona cinders
have been sent to Denmark, where the
best Portland cement in the world is
made. This lot will be tried in the man
ufacture of cement and if it should
prove valuable works will be establish
ed in Arizona.
Chemists of the company will also
experiment with ten barrels of the Gin
ders at Topeka. A, heavy portion of
the expense, on account Of long trans
portation by sea ardHrail, of the con-
struction of the stone reservoirs in Ari7
iona will be the Portland cement, VIII On
gees from Belgium by sea to Calves
ton, and thence by rail- to the place of
use. If equally good cement can be
manufactured on the ground the ex-
pense of construction will be cheapened

ELECTRICITY ON A TEAR.
LabOrers in Sewer Trench Have
Narrow Escape.

The members Of a sewer gang work
ing in a trench on Tenth avenue south,
between Sixth and Seventh streets, had
ious injury yesterday noon The trench
is being eXcavated IN the middle of
the street. and when the work was COM
menced the removal of the tracks of the
Bloomington avenue line to one side
was necessitated. Several trolley poles
were also temporar ly removed, and this
left the wire hanging for some distance
with very frail support.
The men had scarcely clambered out
Of the ditch when the noon hour whist
les blew, when, without a moments
warning, the big power wire snapped
and the ends after suffering and curl
ing in mid air for a while finally drop
ped into the trench. If the accident
had happened a few moments before,
loss of life would certainly have re-
suited as the men would have been
powerless to escape from contact with
the wire and it's deadly current
One end of the wire got tangled up
with the post of gas lamp, and in
a short time the electric current had
melted the pipe and ignited the gas
which blazed high in the air and con-
tirued to make things warm in the
neighborhood until the main was final
" shut off The planks along the sides
OF the ditch were also fired.
Il was not until several hours after
ward when the street railway COM
pany had fixed up the wire and all
scource of danger had been removed,
that the laborers could be induced to
go back to work.

Bates had been on a camping trip

his blankets and coffee pot and start

made short cut across a spur Of the

in descending, his roll of blankets
caught on the jagged edge of a rock,

rolled. The ground was soft, and roll

alarming than dangerous.
