WANT THE WATER POWER.
Eastern Capital Offers to Clear Consolidated
Water Power Co. Litigation by Purchase.

Louis Jackson, land commits
Sioner of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad, visited Grand Rapids
and Centralia last Friday, remaining
only one day. He is endeavoring to
arrange satisfactory conclusion to
the present water power litigatiOnS
that have been in the courts since
1895. Without any evident personal
interest, he is striving, in behalf of
his road, to develop the immense
power now running to waste here.
The transportation business re-
sultant from greater manufacturing
at this point would in part at least, if
not wholly. go to the Milwaukee com
pany and that is the interest that Mr..
Jackson represented. Eastern capi-
talists stand ready to put in a dam
and establish manufacturing plants to
absorb 1000 horsepower if they can
clear away, at reasonable expense. the
present warning water power owners
by purchasing their entire interests.
We understand it is the purpose of
the capitalists to utilize both sides of
the river. smaller industries being
placed on the Grand Rapids side and
one huge plant OF whatever character
it may be. to go up on the Centralia
side. \ half million dollars is said to
be knocking at urdOOrs for admission.

which Mr.. GOldswOrthy has to dispose
of. | find one marked contrast be-

that is the abundance Of fine pasture,

Such is not the case. Everyone is
improving. and few years will

farming lands of the state. First
because this part of the state is we'll
adapted in every way to the wants of
the farmer. 1t cannot be surpassed
for stock raising, and will soon be one
of the leading dairy sections.
| called on our old friend, Mr.. Otto.
and went through his creamery. He
has it equal, il not better equipped
than the one in Union Grove. Has q
feed-grinding mill in connection. He
tells me the amount of milk has in
creased four times what it was one
year ago, and farmers are increasing
the number of cows as fast as they
can be found. No feeding has to be
done here us there is the finest of pas
ture going to waste. Wheat and oats
were killed out some by wet weather
in the spring, but the weight and
quality Of the grain is such as to
make a good crop. The land is easily
cleared and worked, and the farmer
has not to contend with weeds and
thiStles. All crops are looking good.
The village is making great improve
mentS in the line of street grading
and will soon begin on its sidewalks.
After hard rain, lasting all day yes
terday and all night, one could walk
the streets and roads today and not
get stuck in the mud. Good roads
can be had here with little trouble.
Another of the Union Grove former
acQuaintanceS | met here was John
MurgatrOyd, who tells me he is well
pleased with the country. He has n
fine farm, a large part unimproved.
but when improved will be valuable.
The village is well located and will
in time prove the wisdom of all who
come here with a view Of making Il
home ard good farm. Respectfully

A DISGRACE TO EDUCATION.
Two School Boards Excite ~ Unfortunate
JangIe Over PrinciealShip al PittsyiIe.

JangIe Over PrincipalShip at PittsyiIIe.
School children at. Pittsville are
learning sorry lessons Of late in the
arts of lOggerheadiSm and enmity.
The following clippings tell their own
story and suggest their own rebuke
and repulsive side to all thinking
friends of the public school system:
From Pittsville Pilot, Sept. s.
School began in the high school de-
partment last Monday. Prof. Kauff-
man was at his post in accordance
with contract made with the old
board last June. Every scholar in the
district was present. excepting those
belonging TO the few families who
profess to be so bitterly opposed to
Prof. Kaufman. The school room had
been literally transformed into q
flower bed. each scholar contributing
bouquet. The director and treasurer
ordered the school closed and the
teacher to leave the building. He
refused and after a few angry words
they left the building. Tuesday morn
Ing the scholars found the doors locked
and the teacher and board on the
steps. two Of them ordering the
teacher off and one of them ordering
him to teach. The clerk demanded
the key from the director and being
refused opened the door by force.
Next morning access to the building
was once more denied the scholars and
teacher. The director and treasurer
was there backed up by a gang Of
their supporters. Upon demand of
the clerk the building was opened and
the teacher entered only to have the
door locked on his back A war of
words ensued. the key finally being
handed over to the clerk. Taken as a
whole this is rather a nice mess and
the fame Of our immortal school board
has been spread afar. How is this
tangle going to be Straightened out?
Two teachers on our hands and one
school for them to teach. The new
board has not seen fit to recognize the
contract made by the Old board, but
have listened to the cries and lamenta-
tiOnS of few ignOramuS individuals
and hired another teacher without
legally notifying the other one Of
their action until two days before
school was to begin. Grand Rapids
attorneys are chuckling in their
sleeves over the snug little rake-off
they will pull in out of the litigation
this complication is sure to end in.
Special to Sentinel, Sept. Il.
The fight against the employment
of Prof. Kaufman as principal of the
PittSville school eliminated this morn
ing. when the two anti-kaufman
members of the board. assisted by two
men secured for the purpose. forcibly
seized and elected Mr.. Kaufman and
placed the new principal in charge.
All this was done in the presence Of
the amazed school children. Scores of
citizens also had gathered in expecta-
tion of this proceeding, which had
: been threatened.
Twenty-eight of the thirty pupils
present left the new principal in
charge of the now almost vacated
room and followed Mr. Kaufman to
the business center of the town. where
most of the residents. men and women.
were gathered. and amid cheers and
words of approval lie was sEoWeTed
with bouquets.

AUTOMATIC FIRE PROTECTION.
New SprinkIing Equipment at Mac Kinnon
Factory Given a Trial lest.

An automatic SprinlIling apparatus
for fire protection has lately been in
stalled at the hub and spoke factory of
the F. Mac KinnOn Manufacturing Co.
in Centralia. WOrkmen were kept
busy for several weeks under super
vision of J. J.. Kennedy, foreman for
the General Fire EXtinguisher Co. of
Chicago and a trial test of the
completed system was made last
Thursday afternoon with entirely
satisfactory results. The large tank
now standing high above the roof of
the factory at the west end is part
of this new eXtinguisher and holds
the reserve supply Of water. $4,000
gallons. A second, and the regular
source of supply is the city water
works. Should one source fail to work
at any time of fire, the other can be
used, or both at once when necessary.
The medium required to open the
automatic valves is heat.
The system consists of an arrange
ment of pipes running all about the
mill overhead the machinery. at the
end of which are fusible plugs dis
tributed eight feet apart. the open
pipes or nOZzleS each having spraying
capacity to cover sixteen feet, thus
giving Il double sDrinkling strength
over every inch of surface when the
water is started. The fusiblc plugs
melt at 155 degrees heat. This is
called the dry system and is filled
with compressed air which holds the
water back with the aid Of a different
ial valve compounded eight to enc.
The system is pIlrSpcd to q pressure of
twenty pounds of compressed air and
should fire originate, one or more of
these plugs will open and the air eS-
capes, which is closely followed by
water with such force that q fire
would be short lived within its reach.
AS soon as one of the plugs is melted
and the air begins to escape. its force
causes the ringing Of fire alarm bell.
This bell is attached to the wall in
the fling room within hearing of the
engineer, the first sound of which will
cause him to blow his fire whistle"
In other words fire originating in
any portion of the mill, will. as soon
as the temperature reaches 155 degrees,
melt the plug that opens pipe cOnnec
tiOn with city WaterWorks and tank.
\ drenching of the burning depart
ment follows at once. The cost of
this system was about s., 800. 1t will
work a material reduction in insurance
rates and seems most reliable prOtec-
tiOn against any red demon that can
be conceived.

longer breathing speel between trains
on the other lines.
