Sherry's Future.

Going up into the town of Sherry
last week we were surprised and
aStOniShed at the wilderneSs-like
character of that section of country
The land lays nice-neither fiat non
hilly, just nicely rolling-and the sol
is d strong, rich clay that Will make
as productive farms as any land in
the world. Only here and there are
there any improvements, but the
thrifty looking crops on these places
warrants us in believing that when
this section is thoroughly subdued and
developed, it will make one of the
richest farming towns in this county
Or in other words the richest farming
lands in the world.
All this country has hitherto been
known only as numbering district,
but it will soon become more highly
appreciated as a farming district.
Settlers are beginning to locate in all
parts of the town and to open new
farms.
Grand Rapids merchants ought tO
be thoroughly alive to the fact that
all this country is strictly tributary tO
this city and they should early prepare
to turn the trade of that locality
toward the county seat. One of the
best ways to accomplish this is to work
continually and Systematically to
make the roads in that direction so
that in wet CT dry weather they will
always be good. This is not an easy
thing to do but the effort should be
made nevertheless.

A Tramp Steals Ed. Rossier's Watch.

E. III. RoSSier of Plover had an ex-
citing experience with gang of
trampS last week which ended by
landing one of them in the Jail at
Stevens Point. The story came to us
in most sensational garb, in which
Mr.. RoSSier figured as Sprinter after
the flying thief who had stolen his
watch and who was only captured by
his pursuer firing charge of duck
shot into his legs, bringing him to a
StandStill. The facts are about as
follows:
Mr.. RoSSier and his assistant,
Clarence Bremen, had been away from
the mill a short time and upon their
return Mr.. ROSSier went to look at his
watch, which had been left in the
mill. 1t had disappeared, and Clar-
ence remembered to have seen a
stranger go into the mill during their
absence, and they correctly jumped to
the conclusion that it was tramp
and that after stealing the watch he
had gone down the railroad into a
clump Of timber. Taking a shot gun
apiece, they went down the road to
the grove in question when they
suddenly came upon six trampS, and
after short parley and some show of
force on the part of the men with the
guns, the watch was dug up and re-
turned to the owner The balance Of
the tramps were released but the
thief, who confessed to grand larceny,
was taken to Stevens Point and lodged
in Jail. He will probably get year
in the penitentiary for his enterprise
at the Springville mill.

SUMMER OUTINGS.
Grand Rapids People are on the Wing-Seek.
inq Summer Pleasure.

The season has arrived when all who
can afford it are looking up the mat
ter of a summer outing, and some
Grand Rapids people have already fled
for little relaxation from-buSiness
and the hum drum of home life to
various points. Wisconsin has so
many nice summer resorts and ideal
summer outing routes that it is no
difficulty to select desirable one.
On Monday the following party
started for st. Paul where they will go
aboard the passenger steamer Quincy
for trip down the Mississippi river
to st. Louis and return. 1t is a fine
trip and quite inexpensive, consider
ing the elegant accommodations and
distance covered: Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Garrison and daughters, Viola and
Carolyn, Miss Mason, Miss Laura
EmmOns. Mrs. L. M. Nash and daugh-
ter Isabel, Mrs. F. ]. Wood and
nephew Walter.
Mrs. E. S. Renne went to Stevens
Point Tuesday where she joins her
sisters. the Misses Francis Parkhill of
that city and Hattie Parkhill OF North
Dakota. Together the sisters will go
to New York where they will visit
'S'o, ulu SCC UlC SiShUS dU OllC
Pan-American at Buffalo before
returning to their homes.
E. Oberbeck, Frank Cameron and
A. NJ. Muir have leased of Tom
McGraw the old log cabin and
premises, formerly the property of
Napoleon Smith. about one-half mile
this side of the old place of O.
Rocheleau. The new proprietors have
put summer resort furniture into the
house including beds and bedding.
stove and camp chairs. not forgetting Il
refrigerator which might come handy
in hot weather. The grounds have
been nicely cleaned up and boat
landing arranged at the river side.
Here they are planning to while away
this summer as many happy hours as
possible-little family outing parties
with plenty Of real solid comfort and
pleasure and few frills. 1t promises
to become the most popular summer
resort in this neighborhOod.

Electric Railway Franchise.

1t is generally known that the
members of the city council have under
consideration the granting of a fran
chise to the Grand Rapids Lightning
& Power Co. We have published a
copy OF the proposed franchise and all
those interested have undoubtedly
read it. No citizen but what fayors a
street railway in this city and especi-
ally when it is to be a part of an
entire system through the Wisconsin
Valley from Nekoosa to TOmahawk.
Particularly if the franchise granted
is such as not to rob the citizens OF
Grand Rapids of any of their rights.
1t makes no difference to the people
who the promoter is, as long as the
company back of him are men of
capital who will accept the franchise
with all it's provisions as agreed upon
by the common council. Let the
ordinance be carefully drawn and
worded with all the provisions required
by the citizens and then if the Grand
Rapids Lightning & Power Co., are
willing to accept of it we'll and good.
The people want the electric railroad
and are willing to do their part in
fur thering the enterprise. We have
every reason to believe, and in fact
know, that the common council of the
city of Grand Rapids will do every
thing in their power to encourage the
Investment of capital in this laudabe
and valuable improvement.

THREE BOYS DROWNED,
Short Account of Terrible Happening at Por
Edwards Sunday.

On Sunday last news was received
stating that three boys had just been
drowned at Port Edwards. The news
was afterwards verified and the facts
are as follows:
Five boys Carl and Sidney Larson,
Arthur Palm, Emile Rantz and Percy
Cleveland went swimming in the
river, near the mill. Three OF them,
Arthur Palm. Carl Larson and Emile
Rantz ventured too far into the
current and were swept under the
water and drowned. The other two
boys witnessed the catastrophe and
haStened for assistance, but it was
fully an hour before any of the bodies
were recovered. The water where
they were drowned was not deep, and
their ineXperience as swimmers was
the cause of their death, as the place
was not dangerous water to expert
swimmers. A more particular account
of the occurrence and the funeral of
the boys appears in the Port Edwards
items.
