military drill. They reached Pitts
burg landing Saturday night, April s.
and went into camp with high hopes
of soon squelching the rebellion.
Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, they
were attacked about day light and
then took place the battle of Pitts
burg in which both Colonel Alban and
Capt. Compton were killed.
The gloom and sorrow that settled
over our community when the news
of the result of that battle reached
US will never be forgotten by those
who were living at that time.
1t is said that as we grow older we
live more in the past than in the

reason that we have more past than
we can expect in the future.

WISCONSIN RIVERS Great power
The Future Of Grand Rapids Reflected in the I'M
mense Power which is now About to be
Utilized.

The mission Of the Wisconsin River
was assigned her from the beginning.
She was cast on the drama of the
Northwest to be the power station of
a great state. and well does she act
her part. The resiStleSs process of
matchmaking, hewed and carved, hid
or revealed, that which should be
treasure thereafter. Nature. with no
niggard hand dug deep the channels,
spread rich valley far reaching, and
piled mountains Of rock as their COM
plements. She caused this great river
to flow, and lakes to feed it, of size
and depth, and to crown her handi-
work, she gave unusual climate condi-
tiOnS. The silent years went by, and
nature waited: waited for the ap
probation and utilization Of her large
ness. Life came: Indians and bear,
fur-trader and missionary, lumbe1man
and hOmcSteader, Ox-teamster and
railway. Each moved across the stage
and have played their part. Often
uncOnsciOuSly in its dramatic history.
The trail Of the red man no longer
winds along its shores; the echo Of his
shout has disappeared forever, and the
man Of the forest TOamS no more over
plain and woodland. AS the ccaSeleSS
tide Of civiliza tion rolled in it brought
the peace which OycIC0mes war, the
industry which OyCrcOmeS idleneSS,
and the arts, ignorance. 1t made the
warrior worker and the consumer a
producer; then men built city,
Grand Rapids. They did not know
they were but filing the laws of desti-
ny, but Nature knew. Grand Rapids
is aggressive and progressive; she could
not play aSmall part. She was fashion
ed on too broad guage, too big plan
she has been developed by men who,
living the strenuous life, do things
that count for advancement and pros
perity. Her future depends largely on
the Wisconsin River. Her soil may
become exhausted, her forests strip
ped Of timber. But water power that
Can be utilized at a reasonable cost is
the greatest natural gift that can be
enjoyed by city or a community.
The early poets used to sing that its
love, love, love, that makes the world
go round, but the Grand Rapids busi-
ness man announces that its water,
water, water that makes the wheels 60
round. There is no available eSti-
mate Of all the power of the Wisconsin
River, there doesn't need to be. To
show the immensity OF it let US draw

a comparison with that of other great
water powers in the United States
The aggregate horsepower of Mime
apolis is 3S, 1000: Holyhoke, Massachus
etts. 1900: Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, 1900: Lewiston. Maine, 11,OOO
Lowell. MaSSchsetts, IL. 900: Patterson
New Jersey: 2.150. Think of the
labor employed at these points. Then
remember that the Wisconsin River
has mere than double this combined
power, in less than one hundred miles
of Grand Rapids. The water power is
what will and does mean more to the
city than anything else possibly could
and it's destiny being foretold from
the beginning is already reeling from
the loom of fate, and the future is
merging into the present with graft
flying certainty. The United States
with characteristic enterprise leads
the world in paper-making, manufact-
uring over five million tons per year,
or three hundred thousand carloads,
one-third of all that is used on the
globe. Wisconsin holds third place in
the manufacture of paper, turning out
three million pounds per day: New
York manufactures eight million, and
Maine four million pounds per day.
Grand Rapids bids fair to become the
center Of the industry of the state
If today the power of the pen over the
sword is greater than it ever has been
before its increased and increasing in
fiuence must be credited in large
measure to the inventive genius and
the public-spirited enterprise that has
made possible the great output of
our modern paper mills. The history
of paper has always been closely linked
with that of man. 1t has been the
pace-maker of his progress and pros
perity. They have come up together
out of the past. Together they 60

fulness as the future may disclose.

municated by the Chinese to the

1t was carried into Spain by the MOorS

ROAD Is FINANCED.
Stated That Alaska Central Con-
structiOn Will Soon Begin.

Seattle, March l6.-George W. Dick
inson has returned to Seattle after an
absence of several weeks in Chicago,
with the announcement that the build
ing of the Alaska Central railroad is
about to become an accomplished fact.
Since retiring from the management of
the Seattle Electric company Mr.. Dick
inson has given his entire time to the
promotion of road to be built into the
interior of Alaska to tap the famous
mineral Districts of the Tanana river
and the country that lies between
Resurrection bay and the town of Ram
part. The preliminary work of survey
ing the route was done last summer,
when eight surveying parties were put
into the field and the lines were run
and leveled at a cost of about $4,000.
Mr.. Dickinson will remain in the
city about a month and then leave for
the north, to be present when the actu-
al work of construction is begun. 1t
ia expected that the beginning will be
made within forty days. The new road
will have its starting point at Resur-
rection Bay and strike across the coun-
try to the Tanana, passing back of Nix
Arm to the Cantwell and Tanana riv-
ers. The present terminus of the road
is at Atwood, small town on the Tan
ana, forty miles above Rampant and
within twenty miles of the new discov-
cries on Pedro creek. The total dis
lance to he covered is Ais miles, and of
this it is expected that l15 miles will
be completed this season.

CUBAN TREATY
PRESIDENT EXPECTED TO CALL
CONGRESS TOGETHER
For the Purpose of Approving the
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty. Held
That Action BY the House Is
Necessary Because Revenue Is
Involved.

Washington, March l3.-It is stated
that President Roosevelt will call the
Fifty-eighth congress in session in the
autumn, probably on Oct. l., for the
purpose of having joint concurrent
resolution passed approving the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, which will probably
be ratified by the senate during the
coming week. If the present extra ses-
sion of the senate should adjourn with
out action on the reciprocity treaty,
congress would be called at once, as the
late fall is the time for marketing the
bulk of the Cuban sugar crop. 1t is
though. that by meeting in October,
congress can pass the legislation neces-
sary to put the treaty into effect in time
to give the planters the benefit of the
new tariff rates during the present year.

DATE SET FOR VOTE.
Believed Senate will Adjourn With
in q Week.


in q Week.
Washington, March 13.-There we're
important developments during the day
regarding the treaties pending in the
senate. 1t was decided to vote on the
Panama canal treaty on Tuesday, and
the Cuban reciprocity treaty was re-
ported to the senate by the committee
on foreign relations. The end of the
work for which the extra session was
called is, therefore, in sight The
agreement to vote On the canal treaty
was arrived at soon after the senate as
sembled at noon, and without discus
sion of moment. The terms had been
made satisfactory to Senator Morgan
before the request to fix day for the
vote was preferred by Senator Frye, so
tina. the former had DO objection.
The Cuban treaty, with various
amendments agreed on by the commit
tee on foreign relations, was reported
by Mr.. Cullom, and, at his request, it
was read for the information of the sem
ate. The reading was followed by a
formal request by Mr.. Cullom to take
up the Cuban treaty for discussion, but
while this WAS denied, still the greater
part of the session was devoted to it.
The amendments made include, in ad-
dition to those of last session, provi
sion requiring the approval of the
house of representatives to make the
treaty effective.
With the adoption of this amendment
the Democrats as body will probably
cease opposition to the Cuban treaty,
but some of them, the sugar interests
of whose states are affected by the trea-
ty, will continue to oppose it. The Re-
publican side of the senate will vote
practically, if not absolutely, solidly
for the treaty, and it is now generally
believed that it will be ratified after
action on the Panama treaty.
Individual Democratic senators will
offer a number of amendments to the
canal treaty, and they will mite in
pressing some of them. but if they
should be voted down, as seems likely,
a number of Democrats will vote for
the ratification of the treaty. The pro-
gramme as outlined leads many sena-
tors to predict an adjournment by the
close of next week.
The action of the committee on COM
MERGE in postponing vote on the
nomination of DR.. Crum, which also
took place during the day, is generally
looked upon as disposing of the matter
for this session.

WILL MAKE DEMAND
European Countries Ask Concessions
Similar to Cuba's.

Berlin, March 16.-Germany, as
soon as the reciprocity treaty between
Cuba and the United States is ratified,
will ask both the Cuban and the Uni
ted States governments for identical
privileges. 1t is also intimated that
other governments intend to request
the came treatment. While annoyed
at the prospect of the United States
trades having lower tariffs in the Cuba
than that of Germany, no one supposes
that even q collective protest on the
part of the continental countries would
cause either the United States or Cuba
to recede. But Germany's position is
to be defined clearly, so that the Uni
ted States may not complain when Ger.
many gives other nations preference in
trade treatment. The principle which
the Germans lay down in entering upon
correspondence concerning commercial
treaties ia ''give and take" The most
favored nation theory is really aban-
doned. Special conventions are to be
drawn up to fit the different situations.
This principle seems to be accepted by
Russia. Austria and Italy, and the
trade policies are to rest upon the reci-
procity idea. What is the subject of
more concern here is that should the
Cuban treaty be accepted and found to
work we'll similar treaties may be ar
ranged by the United States with Mex
leo. Brazil, and Argentina. ultimately
resulting in the United States obtain
ing a monopoly of all South and Gen.
trail American markets.

J. WHITAKER WRIGHT.
Alleged Financial schemer in Gus
tOdy at New York.

New York, March l6-J. Whitaker
Wright, the London promoter, who is
accused of being concerned in colossal
frauds in connection with the organlza-
tion of various financial corporations,
was arrested on arrival of the French
line steamer La Lorraine from Havre
The arrest was made by two general
office detectives at the request OF the
London police.
Spokane, March l6.-J. Whitaker
Wright, news of whose arrest has been
received from New York. made his first
appearance in the mining history of
the Northwest in 1898. combining his
operations mainly to the Rossland, B.
c., camp. Ex-Governor G. II. McIn-
tosh was his representative in all these
hotations, and it was in the name of
the British American Corporation that
the various properties were acquired.
The first mine taken over was the ia
nous lie Roi, and then the following
properties in the order named: Great
Western, Kootenai and Columbia, and
the Joseph and Annie fraction, now
known as the LIE Roi No. q In all
Wright dumped about $1,000, 900 of
London capital into that camp. With
the LeRoi deal was also included the
Northport smslter. With the crash of
the London & Globe dissentions arose
in the British American company, and
as a result most of the above named
properties have been idle and the stocks
have been hammered away below par.
Many of the London stockholders were
ruined by Wright's manipulations in
the camp.

PRESIDENTS TRIP.
Roosevelt Expects to Be in Sc.
attic May 23rd and
24th.

Seattle, March I6.-President Roose-
welt will arrive in Seattle May %. He
will remain in the city through the
following day, which is Sunday. This
definite news of the presidents visit to
the city was received Saturday night by
Congressman Will E. Humphrey, and
he was asked to arrange for the presi-
dents entertainment while in Seattle.
Washington, March 16-It is reason
ably certain that President Roosevelt
will start from Washington on his
Western tour on April l. Several sem
ators discussed the subject with him
during the day, all of them being anx-
inus to induce him to make stops in
their states. The itinerary of the jour-
ney, which will occupy at least two
months, and perhaps little longer, is
b,ing prepared. Indeed, many of the
details have been worked out on the
basis of star ting on the first of April.
The greater part of the month of
April will be spent by the president in
Yellowstone Park in rest and recrea-
ton. Several important stops will be
made by the president en- route to the
park. He will 60 from Washington to
Chicago. Thence he will 60 to Milwau-
kee, Madison and La Crosse, Wis. !;
Minneapolis and st. Paul, Mimi. !;
Yankton, S. d, aud perhaps to some
other points east of the Yellowstone.
In the latter part of Arpil he will start
for St. Louis in time to participate in
the dedication of the st. Louis Pur-
chase exposition on April 80. From
St. Louis the president will 60 to the
Pacific coast, making many stops both
outgoing and on the return trip.
During the sojourn in California the
president will visit the Yosemite val
ley. The trip, includes journey to
and numerous stops in the Northwest
ern states. 1t will be long and ardu-.
GUS trip, but promises to be one OF the
most memorable ever made by presi-
dent.
