TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS.
Business Mems Association Hold Election
and Meet REPRESENTATIVES of FACTORIES.

and Meet Representatives of Factories.
The annual election of officers of
the Business Mems association of
Grand Rapids was held in the DAILY
block on the west side last Friday
evening, a large number of business
men of the city being present. The
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, E. p. Arpin;
vice president, John Schnabel; Secre-
tary, Isaac ?. Witeer; treasurer, G. F.
Kruger.
The president appointed W. Fl.
Carey and T. A. Taylor to act with
the president, secretary and treasurer
as a board of directors. He also
appointed the following committees:
On public mprOvementS-F. ].
Wood, John A. GaynOr and Il. j.
Cooper.
On factOries-ErneSt Ober-
beck, e. ROeniuS, A. NJ. Muir and Geo.
M. Hill.
On railroads and transportation
L. M. Nash, John Parrish and T. 4.
Lipke.
Treasurer A. M. Muir made his
annual report which was read and
accepted, showing balance on hand
of s31.55.
Frank DAILY, from the committee to
investigate factories, that might be
induced to locate here, reported
favorable prospects for 4 picking
factory.
The meeting then adjourned until
Saturday night.
Saturday evening the association
met pursuant to adjournment and
listened to propositions made by
representatives Of shoe factory and
pickle factory, both of which are
now under consideration by the as
sociation. The pickle factory people
make very reasonable proposition,
only requiring the grounds and build
ing to be furnished by the city,
something that could be accomplished
for about $500. 1t would be Of
particular advantage to truck farmers
and during the year would leave a
large amount Of money in and about
Grand Rapids that does not now come
to the town. The scheme embraces a
plan whereby those directly benefited
by it's establishment here would
eventually repay the city for the
money advanced to secure its location.
1t has become obvious to the
association that something more in
fiuential than willing workers is
essential to the accomplishment Of
the results desired by all it's members
and a plan is on foot to organize an
auxiliary association of capitalists
who will take stock in what would be
known as an advancementa association,
who would lend temporary financial
aid to such factories looking for
location as may be considered reason
ably sure of making a success here.

supplies up from San Tomas and lost
twelve men, B company lost one Valid.
When last seen he was wounded and
when our boys were driven back he
must have been killed or captured.
His body could not be found after
wards so his capture is probable. Co.
D, the next day out fOraging, was set
upon and driven in towards town and
we went out to their aid and together
drove the enemy in fine shape. Two
days General Schwan again set out
and we were with him. At Santiago
Hill we saw hot work. The enemy
had trenches constructed along a
mountain side, parallel to our road,
and crossing the road at the further
end. Co. B had the honor of finally
breaking their line where it crossed
the road. | tell you | never want to
be in as warm a place again. We
charged up an open roadway across
pitfalls which they had dug and
covered with thin Goa ting of brush
and litter and into which many of the
men fell. then through mass of wires
strung across the road and when they
saw us clear the wires they fled. They
must have lost two or three hundred
men that day but we never knew how
many as we were rushed along after
them and | never saw the place again.
We then marched to Majayjay
(Mahaha) and on to Santa Cruz, and
again started out on another cam
piagn. We have since been fired upon
from ambuscadeS and had many fights
and are growing accustomed to them
but [ will not take space to describe
them but we made one terrible trip
over the mountain to the bay Of LIE
Mon. We followed an old Spanish
telephone line, there being no road
and it led over lofty mountains where
we had to toll, assisting the pack
horses, having to unload and carry
their packs up many places. 1t was
terrible and we were seven days on
three days ration. The advance Co.,
while passing through mountain
gorge, stirred I'D nest Of Philippine
hornets and it was fearful. Nearly
every man of the battalion was Stung,
and they followed the flying men and
horses up the gorge for nearly a mile.
None could escape them. We are now
garriSOning this place and when we
arrived here nearly every man was
unfit for duty. We are Quartered in
the old court house of the capital of
the province. 1t is bullet and can
non riddled building but answers our
purpose all right. Our supplies are
landed at a little port called Lucena
on the sea six miles from here and we
have to bring our supplies from there
by wagon train. We have been at
tackled twice while bringing them up
so you see it's not all finished yet, but
they are breaking up into small bands
and coming in fast. Well | have eX-
hausted my paper and will close wish
ing you we'll and hoping to hear from
you soon. Yours Sincerely,
PETER TOvSEN.
