REMARKABLE GAINS REPORTED.
Increase of O per cent. i'm Railroad Earn
ings over Record breaking Months

Continued remarkable increase in the
earnings Of Michigan railroads is shown
by the monthly statement Of Railroad
Commissioner Atwood.
For the first three months Of the year
the earnings were $ll.76l, 766. %, an in.
crease over those Of the same period last
year Of 81 ,619, 459 66, or almost Is per
cent. During March the earnings were
81, l55, 300. l6, an increase over March OF
last year Of s577, 1894 80.
Although the earnings Of the roads
are increasing il seems almost impossible
for them to care for the enormous
traffic. Shippers all over are complain
ing on account Of lack Of cars. the rail.
roads being unable to furnish them,
while the buyers in the small towns
cannot get goods without a delay OF
from two to four days. In several in.

taken five days to get freight from De-
troit after il had been shipped.

4 Taxpayers Views ON the Pond Question
Editor Record-Among the things
that are hard TO understand comes from
the action of the village council on the
petition OF so many of the heaviest tax
payers Of the village asking for the
cleaning out Of the water power pond.
Much has been said upon this question
of late. The advantages to be derived
from the enterurise, both as sanitary
benefit and red letter in the fair name
OF our city. The desirability Of the
work as a source Of pleasure has been
pointed out also, and IL would seem that
TO say more would be waste OF time.
The action Of the council in the pre-.
misses was not without a purpose we
must admit, because their action on a
petition representing the business and
taxable interests OF the community
should be and doubtless were well con
sidered, and il is hoped that more favor
able action will be had on the question
in the near future.
1t would seem that il the work is done
it should be accomplished during the
warm weather, as work in the water IL
cold weather is very unpleasant.

RECEIVED A GOOD APPOINTMENT
4 Former Alma Boy Instructor i'm Mathe
MATES I'm the Naval Preparatory school.

Theodore Nelson, former Alma boy
and we'll known to almost everyone liv.
ing here, has been rendered the position
OF instructor in mathematics and naval
matters in the Nautical Preparatory
School. recently incorporated under the
laws of Rhode Island. The school will
be conducted on board the cadet ship
Young America, now being built for
that purpose.
The ship will be commanded by Lieut..
Commander o. II. Harlow, U. s. N, and
will be conducted on the same principles
as the United States Naval Academy
There will be faculty of % teachers
and the cadets will number $50. The
advantages Of the training will be the
combination Of study, travel and disci.
pline, thus to give a broad and useful
education. The first cruise will begin
September 30, 1908, and il is expected
that during the four years course of
study the ship will visit every maritime
country in the world. Mr.. Nelson was
obliged to resign from the navy last
fall because OF impaired hearing, but
he has so far recovered a. TO enable him
to accept this position, for which his
training at Annapolis has qualified him.

Garbage Boxe, are Needed.


Editor Record-Has not our village as
sumed city proportions sufficient 10 war.
rant the village council in passing an
ordinance requiring places where often
sive garbage is being accumulated III
quantities, such places for instance as
grocery stores, hotels, boarding houses
restaurants, saloons and all such like,
places where germ breeding garbage is
being deposited in back yards and alley
ways, to have garbage boxes with lids
hinged and made TO shut tight and
placed where the garbage man can have
easy access TO the same, and have the
said garbage cleaned up at least once a
week, during the time between the first
OF April and the 30th of October of each
year?
1t would seem that such requirements
should be made to apply to stables and
pens where dumb animals are housed
that our alley ways might be kept clean
at least in the central part OF the village.
Alma stands in the first ranks In many
respects without peer, but along lines
mentioned above she seems TO be quite a
back number.
May we not see the council wake up
a little to more thorough sanitary
system for our village?
