Sc MEN LEAVE IN SEVEN WEEKS
RECORD NEVER EQUALED AT ANY
POST IN THE UNITED
STATES.
CANTtENS ABSENCE THE CAUSE

FORP THEY WOULD NOT
LEAVE.

st. Paul, Aug. S0.-During the past
seven weeks sixty-six members of the
Twenty-first regiment of infantry, To-
Gated at Fort Smelling, have deserted
from the regular army, making a
record, so army men say, never be-
fore equaled at any post I'm the United
States. Out of this number but one
of the deserters has been returned to
the fort.
The largest number Of assertions
came Immediately following the July
payday, when ffty-four members OF
the regiment came to st. Paul and
failed to return to the fort.
Following the August payday, an
even dozen are said to have tired of
the life TO such an extent that they
were willing to take a chance as a de-
Berter. Companies G and II lost the
greatest number and Company Il the
least
Three Months Pay at Once.
The large number of assertions fol-
lowing the July payday is accounted
for from the fact that IL was the first
payday after the return from the
Philippines, and the soldiers received
three months' pay. with this money,
the first they had had in months, the
soldiers came to st. Paul and INDUCED
in a life OF dissipation. Rather than
return to the fort after having been
absent several days, the soldiers left
the city, knowing that but little effort
would be made to have them returned.

Charleston. w. Va, Aug. S0.-Gov.
White has ordered the Second regi-
ment of the West Virginia National
Guard TO the New River district, not,
as he says, to settle the strike, bu to
protect life and property. Col Morri-
son at Parkersburg was given orders
early in the morning to call out his
regiment and proceed by special train
to Thurmond, which will be the head
quarters. The cause for this action
by the governor is the appeal of Sher-
IF Daniel Of Fayette county for assis-
lance.

Death OF Mrs. Caroline WinkeI.

Every life has its peculiar history.
None OF us are free from trials or
tribula tiOns. Each one has his burden
to bear. The deceased was peculiar
character, with many excellent traits
of character but above all else, she
loved money. She labOred hard
through life and was willing to sacrl-
flee most any pleasure to obtain it.
She came to Grand Rapids in 1857 and
hired out her services to Mrs. Ruben
Lyons. The same year she was mar
ried to Nicholas Winkel, who survives
her. a son was born unto them in
1858 and died in 1862. They lived
happily together until the year 1884,
when they separated but were never
divorced. They have both accumu-
lated considerable property as result
of their Industrious habits and meagre
living. They have always lived in
this city, in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the present courthouse. About
ten days ago, Mrs. Winkel, who re-
sided all alone in her little home. was
found by the neighbors perfectly
helpless and unable to walk. A place
was secured for her at the home of
Mrs, Joseph Closuit, where she was
conveyed, and up to the time of her
death was well cared for. DR.. Pomain-
vile was called, and administered to
her wants and made her as comfort
able as possible, but she passed away
Tuesday morning, Dec. 1G, of old age.
She had reached the age of II years.
The funeral service took place at
the Congregational church this Thurs
day afternoon. Rev. B. j. II. Shaw
officiating.

WATER power TO BE DEVEL OPED,
Erection Of Paper and Pulp Mill.
Work on Plant TO Begin at OnCe--The Comp
any Increases Capitalization TO
100000.

The stockholders in the ConSoli-
dated Water Power company recently
held a meeting at which time it was
decided to re-organiZe the company
and change the articles of incOrpOra-
ton SO that the company could
manufacture paper as we'll as to create
power. They also decided to increase
the capital stock of the company from
three hundred thousand dollars $780,
O00) to four hundred thousand dollars
(S400,000) and change the name SO
that it will hereafter be known as the
Consolidated Water Power and Paper
company. It was also decided to sell
some Of the stock to other parties and
proceed Immediately to the erection
of dam, dredging out canal, and
the erection of paper and pulp mill,
in accordance with the plans and
specifications adopted by the company.
j. G. Jacobson, the architect who
resides in this city, has been selected
to draw the plans and specifications
and have general supervision of the
construction.
This development means great deal
to the city of Grand Rapids and every
citizen will hail this magnificent
improvement with delight. We
understand that material for the
erection of the dam. buildings, dyke,
etc, will be purchased IN the near
future and work will commence in
dead earnest as soon as the plans and
specifications are ready and the
weather will permit of the undertake
ing. This improvement means an
investment by the company Of II large
sum OF money. greatly exceeding the
capital stock.
The present intention of the &C m
pany is to build the dam above the
Green Bay railroad bridge, which will
be over 100 feet long, 10 feet wide ut
| the base and about II feet high. The
guard-locks will be placed on the west
| side of the river at the head of the
channel. The channel will be from
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1902-12-18

50 to 100 feet wide aud will be
dredged out along the west bank of
the Wisconsin river, down to a point
opposite L. M. Nash's residence.
where the paper mill and pulp mill
will be erected. The material taken
out of the channel will be deposited
on either side for the purpose of max
ing a dyke to hold the water. The
width of the dyke will have to be at
least 80 feet wide.
The paper and pulp mill, power
house, bOiler-rOOm, beaten, wood and
finishing room, will all be under one
roof. The structure will be of brick
and stone, first class in every respect,
and provision made for six paper
machines, only two Of which will be
Installed from the start. The pulp
mill will consist of ten large grinders.
To erect this building will require
over 1900 cords of rock and 100000 of
brick.
The stockholders in this enterprise
consist of Messrs. Isaac P. Witter,
George w. Mead, Nels johnson. E.
Mackinnon, and the F. Pomainville
estate, At the last meeting the
following officers were elected:
PreSident-NelSJ Johnson.
Vice PreSident--Isaac P. Witter.
Secretary and Trcasurer-Geo. w.
Mead.
The erection of the dam and
the construction of the canal
will give them a twenty-eight foot
head and an estimated 1000 horse
power. About one half of this power
will be used by the pulp and paper
mill and it is the company's intention
of using the balance in creating
electricity for rent to be distributed
to any part of the city.
We all appreciate fully what this
means to the city Of Grand Rapids,
and we further appreciate the fact
that these improvements will he
followed by others contemplated by
the same company, for instance, that
Of a large sulphite plant.
We join with the business men OF
this city in sincere wish that
nothing may happen to prevent this
venture from being carried out to d
successful issue.
