Another Electric Railway Plan.

In Wednesdays Detroit Free
Press appeared an article relative Ia
an electric line from Ionia to Owosso.
e. M. Hopkins, whose name heads the
list of officers OF the company, is we'll
known in Owosso and has the happy
faculty OF usually getting what he
goes after. The article follows:
The first OF three electric railway
companies to build and operate lines
In Michigan under the same manage
ment was organized yesterday morn
Ing under the name OF the, Grand
Rapids & Ionia Railway Co., with a
capital stock of 100000. The meet
ing of organization was held In the
office OF Collector OF Customs John Il.
Rich, former governor Of Michigan,
and today articles OF association will
be filed with the secretary of state at
Lansing.
The officers of the com pany COM
prise number Of prominent Detroit
and Michigan and public men, the list
being as follows: President, e M.
Hopkins, of New York and Detroit,
president OF the Dayton f& Kenton
Electric railway and three other lines
in the middle west: vice president, ex-
Gov. John Il. Rich; treasurer, G. II.
Pomeroy, Saginaw, Of the Pomeroy
Cracker Co.. secretary, Frank Wes-
colt, Vernon, ex-revenue collector.
Board OF directors-E. M. Hopkins,
John T. Rich, Gov. A. T. Bliss, Sagi-
nav; j. L. Hudson, Detroit; Senator
r. d. Graham, Grand Rapids, pres.-
dent OF the Fifth National bank of
that city; G. s. Johnson, Grand Rap
ids, vice president and general mana
ger OF the railway Of that city; @.
81. Pomeroy, Saginaw: Frank Yves.
colt, Vernon; w. E. Harris, De Graft,
O., president of the Citizens bank of
that city.
In very short time two more rail-
way companies will be organized by
practically these same men. 1t is
possible that there may be minor
changes in the directors and officers,
but the same men will be behind all
three enterprises. The other two
electric lines to be built are the Ionia
& Owosso Railway Co. and the Jack
son q Lansing Railway Co., the lines
connecting the cities mentioned as
nearly In a straight line as possible.

Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by promi-
nent divine in the west that the millen-
MUM will arrive in the year 1912, and
bases his claim on the prophesies of the
Bible. Whether his prophesy is correct
of not, time alone will tell, but in the
meantime we should make the most out
of our lives, and the first essential to
this is good health. A sickly person
cannot enjoy life because he lacks the
vigor and vitality necessary for such
enjoyment, and consequently always
feels down hearted and depressed. 1t
was for such persons that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters was first introduced
fifty years ago, and many persons today
can ascribe their good health to its use.
1t positively cures indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, biliousness and liver and
kidney troubles. Don't fail to try it.

UNDER GENERAL LAW.

The Grand Rapids g. Ionia railway
just formed is organized under the
general railway law, and the capital
ization Of 100000 will be divided
into 10000 shares OF 800 each. 1t will
be operated by electricity and is de-
signed as high speed line between
the cities of Grand Rapids and lonia,
through the counties of Kent and
Ionia, a distance Of approximately
thirty-two miles. The line has ALREADY
been laid out by Robert Kline, the
noted railway engineer of Dayton, O.,
and franchises have been secured in
Ada, Lowell, Saranac and Ionia. En-
trance into the city of Grand Rapids
has been arranged with the Grand
Rapids railway by which the cars OF
the company will 60 from Reed 8 Lake
to the center OF the city over its tracks,
and transfer passengers free to any
line In the city. It will also make di.
rect connections with the interurban
lines to Muskegon and Holland. The
road will be built on private rights of
way, except where it passes through
the villages and cities and in these
cases the principal streets will be used.
Permanent survey will be begun
next week and pushed as rapidly as
possible. 1t is hoped to get everything
in shape to begin building in the
spring. The construction will be of
the best standard railway type, and
the line is laid out for an air line ca.
pable Of attaining great speed. The
chart Of the road shows remarkably
straight track, there being no curves
OF Importance at any point. The av-
erage population along the line is 3, SOC
per mile, which Is far above the aver
age for interurban roads and this as.
sures a good earning capacity.
This road will go through Ionia to
the western boundary and the road
which will be built from Owosso west
to Ionia will be practically continu.
alton of the Grand Rapids and Ionia.
The distance Is approximately forty.
five miles, and it will pass through the
towns of Ionia, Lyons, Pewamo, Fow.
Ter, st. Johns connecting here with
the interurban line for L ansing), Shep.
ardsville, Ovid, Burton and Owosso.
The company will be capitalized at
81 500, 900, and articles Of association
will be filed at Lansing within the
next two weeks.
The Jackson & Lansing Railway o.
will be formed practicallylof the same
personnel within the next sixty days
The officers will probably be the same
as the other two. The distance cover
ed by the line is thirty-6ve miles. AL
the lines will be air lines built on pri
vate rights of way.

WORK FOR WOMEN.
woman's Clubs Engaged in Noble
Work for Deserving Students.

Woman's Clubs Engaged in Noble
Work for Deserving Students.
The Woman's Clubs belonging to the
State Federation OF Michigan are rails
ing $4,000 supplementary loan fund
for girls working their way through
the University. This fund was start
ed by friends OF Mrs Lucinda Hinsdale
Stone, OF Kalamazo), who first opened
the doors OF the University to women.
The interest only Is to be used, $25
here, $40 to some one else who can be
helped over a difficult place or perhaps
$50 to a deserving student. The fund
is in the hands OF President Angel,
Dean Jordan and one other so that aid
Is sure to be given where it is most
needed and most deserved.
At the meeting Of the Owosso' S
Woman's Club last Saturday, Miss
Hannah Dewey gave an interesting
account of the work that is being done
along this line at the University: She
said In part:
examples OF young women who
work all, or nearly all their way
through the university andwho would
be greatly helped by small loan at
different times during their college
course are by no means lacking.
The best example last year was that
OF young woman who came to Ann
Arbor with money enough for her
tuition and naturalization fee-$40.
She carried the full number of hours
allowed to freshmen: Four hours of
mathematics; four Of history, flour of
biology: and three of English, which
Is a heavy program.
The first half year she gave sham
poos to earn money for books. labora-
tory fees and incidental expenses;
worked at boarding. house for her
dinners and suppers and did her own
washing and ironing and sewing all
through the year.
The second half she continued CIV
ing shampoos for some expenses as the
first half. Afternoons she acted as
nurSemaid for the children Of one of
the professors from to p. m. four
days and from to 7 p. m other days,
SO earning small sum and her sup
pers, but having to do all her study
Ing after Z p. M, as she gave her
Saturday forenOons to darning for
some ladies. With all this her record
showed her full thirty hours credit at
the end OF the year. Her mathemat-
ic professor said she was doing fine
work, but could do exceptionally fine
work If she had even little time to
study.
This young woman was given a 500
gold piece for Christmas by two facul-
ty ladies which she at once turned
over to the house committee of the
Y. w. Q. A. home, where she roomed,
for her rent. Only one who saw her
can really picture her relief when that
debt was paid.
There are other girls who 60 into
homes and work for their board and
room, sometimes giving six or seven
hours day to this work, who need q
little help to buy books, pay tuition
and meet their incidental expenses.
One reason why such help is deserved
by these girls is because those who are
willing to do so much for their educa.
tion make the most Of every oppor-
tunity they have. They work to the
limit Of their strength rather than
give up that for which they are
striving.
