1t is patent to the observing and
thinking man that the west side OF
our city Is rapidly being monopOlized
by railroads and their adjuncts to be
followed by all kinds Of manufacture
ing. There is no use of attempting to
prevent this increased use Of railroad
facilities for the transaction OF all
kinds OF business. The present cree
tion Of the Grand Rapids Milling COM
pany'S new Touring mill and elevator
right in front of f. L. Rourke's hand
some residence is only an Indication
Of what is going to happen all over
the west side when the main line OF
the Wisconsin Central railroad passes
through our city north and south
they will require more room on the
west side and some other homes will
be deprecated there for family pur-
poses. Yet with all these changes
and improvements the city as whole
prospers and we must not stand in the
way Of it. Prepare yourselves for any
emergency and don't stand around as
knockers" when the ship of progress
comes our way but on the contrary
welcome it.

= Loo al Notes. =

One thing to be remembered in favor
OF consolidating the post--oflce ID the
fact that the Grand Rapids Office force
are Obliged to handle over one-half of
the mail that belong to people who
get their mail at the Centralia Office
but it is addressed Grand Rapids or
ths west side. The handling of this
mail delays the service on the east
side, and retards the mail several hours
in being delivered. II there is no i'm
mediate possibility OF uniting these
two Offices then the Grand Rapids
postmaster will be obliged to add new
lock boxes to accommodate the increase
demand. II free delivery is to be
Installed then this will not be
necessary. The increase Of Money
Order and Registry business on the
east side has grown in the same
proportion that the sale OF stamps
and other business has grown. Our
city i. becoming Metropolitan and
our pOst-off1ce service should keep up
In the city's wake. At least four
more Rural Routes should be cstab-
iished, two Of these have already been
applied for. Let US all wake UP to the
realizing sense that our city is going
to grow and we want all the benefits
to accrue with its development.

James Granger one of the successful

called at the REPORTER office While
here he showed us petition signed
by his grandfather on the 10Th day

asking the Court 20 release him from
Jail where he had been committed on
account of heading a strike in Scot
land. The following reference to it
was published in GLASGOW (Scotland)

On Saturday a business transaction

doubtless prove Of great benefit tC

S. Thompson, Vice President of The
Badger Box s. Lumber Co., at that
time became sole owner of the above
firm by the purchase Of all Of the
stock owned by the Jno. DAILY estate,
in the company. The business under
Mr. ThOmpSOn'S management has
grown very rapidly since its inception
a little over year and half ago
until it has now become one of the
leading manufacturing industries of
the city. Mr. Thompson is not yet
prepared to make known his plans for
the future but it is intimated that
very extensive improvements are likely
to follow quickly and that he will
have interested with him Mr.. Stang,
prominent business man Of the
highest financial standing from
Merrill, and will have for an immediate
associate a young man now holding an
important position in the general
offices of the Wisconsin Central Rail

can be given to the public.

Government statistics show that the
consumption of alcoholic stimulants
has nearly doubled since 1880, the
annual per capita consumption having
grown from 1000 gallons in that year
to 1913 gallons at the present time.
The users of alcoholic StimulantS are
estimated at one-fourth of the total
population and the drink bill in 1902
was S1,369, 098,276. During the same
time there has been an appreciable
decrease in the demand for the milder
stimulants such as tea and coffee, a
fact that is not encouraging by any
means. Sometimes figures lie and
sometimes they are made to lie, but
in this case they seem to be telling
the truth, and that truth is that this
nation is sadly in need of reform in
the matter of strong drink. The in
crease is the ominouS feature of the
statistics. Minneapolis Times,

To polish stove like peppering beefsteak
may seem odd to those who have never used
Sitter Stove Polish. but nevertheless, it is the

round box with perforated top similar to a

not require soaking In water before using.
There is never any waste. 1t Is good to the last
pinch. 1t Is gently sifted on the stove, brushed
with damp cloth and lightly rubbed with dry
cloth. A brilliant, jet black lustre is obtained.
There is no odor, no dirty saueers or pans, no
rusty boxes to cover. The Sitter box is always
