thinning out and few now remain who
came here in the ffties. There is a
certain something about the life of a
pioneer that we all love and honor and
regret the loss as they succeed each
other in passing out into the great be-

and if the events could be recorded
how interesting it Nonld prove to the
pre~ent and coming generations.

Just to get an idea Of the extent of
business done in the twin cities as a
potato shipping center our three
railway stations were visited and the
number of carloads of potatoes sent
out over each road from October /,
1887, to March l. 1898 was obtained.
The number of cars shipped were
given to US as follows: Over c., NJ. &
St. Paul Ry. 80; over Marshfield &
Southeastern q; over Green Bay &
Western 20. Total 81 cars, an average
Of 10 shipped each month. A freight
car holds an average of 600 bushels,
total amount shipped since Oct. l is
$500 bushels, representing more than
SO, 600 TO the farmers in this vicinity.
A prominent Centralia buyer assures
US that there is stored here yet at
least 30, 600 bushels waiting for ship
ment. Add 81 800 more for our
Murphy raisers.

This week the REPORTER publishes
its annual list of heaviest tax payers
in the twin cities, including all those
who pay a tax of $50 or more. In
Grand Rapids, City Treasurer w. H.
Reeves has kindly supplied us with
correct figures from the rolls. He has
about five or six days left in which to
collect the tax and says there is still
81, $4,000 remaining unpaid. Prompt
settlement Of unpaid taxes will be
greatly appreciated by the treasurer
and will save him from an OverWhelm-
ing rush on the last day when ''check-
ing up time comes. Bear this in
mind and do your best. Here are the
lists. with comparison of 1896:

were attracted to indianapolis by the

The Situation Mt NInnIIa.

Perfect order has thus far been main
tanned in Manila under American con-
troll. The city is quiet and seems al
most to have resumed its normal bust
ness and social activity. The rumors
of troubles between the natives and
the Americans are for the most part
unfounded. The fact is that the in
surgents have been unwilling to dis
arm until assured of the permanence
of American protection. From the first
they have had the greatest confidence
in Admiral Dewey, whom they regard
as a sort of father and the most impor-
tant American at Manila. The iunta
is satisfied that all friction will soon
disappear and that there will be no
trouble from the insurgents if the
Americans decide to retain the Philip
pines.
Gen. Merritt and Aguinaldo have
agreed that the latter shall govern out
side of Manila for the present. No in
surgents will be allowed inside of the
city with arms. Business is now boom
ing. The distractions in the river
Pasig, which flows through the town,
have been removed and the water
works have resumed operations.
