"A telegram was received here

CURED that day at Port Huron, Mich.
| He was at State Line scaling logs at
the time and could not be reached UNI
til the next day. He left Tuesday for
Port Huron and expects to reach there
in time to attend the funeral:
Word has been received here of
| the death of Mrs. w. II. Bissel of Ar
Dor Vitae. She has been sick for a
long time with cancer and was so
bad that Mr.. Bissell could not leave
her to attend the last meeting of the

Samuel Walters is getting prices
on the cost of putting in an electric
plant here and will soon be able to
make the town definite proposition
for running the water-works and fur
nishing light for the town. We have
also understood that Casper Faust,
who owns the electric plant at Rhine
lander, contemplates submitting a
proposition to the town for running
the waterworks and lighting the town.
From the experience of some of our
neighboring villages that we should be
able to get our water works run and an
electric plant put in in connection
with it for about the same sum yearly
as it has cost us in the past to run the
waterworks alone and possibly some
thing might even be saved on these
figures. Certainly if it costs no more
the town should enter into contract
by which they can secure light as well
as water.
