EXAMINATIONS FOR
RURAL ROUTES

ALI persons having filed applica-
tions for rural routes with the
Government have received notice to
present themselves at Marshfeld on
October Is for examination. We
understand that there will be at least
three more routes from the Grand
Rapids post Office, one from Nekoosa
and possibly one from Vesper. The
examination being held on the Is
indicates that the intention is to start
the routes ON, or about November
first. The people of Wood County
are under lasting obligations to Con-
gresham Webster e. Brown for the
great interest he has taken in using
his influence with the Government
for bringing about these results. There
are parts of Wood County which are
not sufficiently populated to receive
the rural service, but as soon as they
are Congressman Brown can be
depended upon to do all in his power
to bring it about. He is now doing
everything in his power to give Grand
Rapids free delivery and a station on
the west side. His reelection will
guarantee to the people OF his district
all the improvemts in mail service
that he can possibly secure. We
commend him to the people of Wood
County as a man we'll worthy Of their
hearty SuppOrG.

HOW THEY SECURE INDU=
STRIES AT GRAND HAVEN
GRAND HAVEN, MICH

GRAND HAVEN, MICH.
Gentlemen: Your query of the 5th
inst. addressed the j. c.. Post, late
president of the Grand Haven State
bank has been referred TO the writer
for reply, and touching directly upon
your request, can give you approx
mately what you desire.
Within the past four or five years,
the city of Grand Haven through the
means OF the bonus system, has in
duced six industries to locate here.
These plants have cost the city ap-
proximately, 100000 they represent in
valuation possibly $780, 900; their
com bined monthly pay roll will
average $4,000 making an annual
distribution exceeding 5000, 900: they
employ, at conservative figure, over
900 hands; the plants are not exempt
from taxation, and with one single
exception have been source of pride
aud pleasure to every progressive
citizen of our city.
AS compared with the individual
subscription system, in my opinion
the bonus system is most fair, as
under the latter, each and every
citizen pays his or her proportionate
share of the cost Of the industry, as.
suming that, directly or indirectly,
the investment will in time be re-
turned; the individual subscription
system is more narrow aud susceptible
of personal gains and losses, which in
Justice, should be shared by the
general public. What is for the
general prosperity, The miser and
the beggar may both fiat1er themselves
that they are evading tribute. but
they cannot escape the benefits any
more than the beams from Gods
blessed sunshine.
Respectfully,
j. w. O'BRIEN.

Annually the stores Of our towns
dealing in holiday goods present the
spectacle OF being literally packed
with people just before Christmas.
Nearly all know month beforehand
that they must purchase certain arti-
cles but they allow the spirit OF
procrastination to induce them tC
delay instead of going early SO to have
their pick of the stock on display and

Holiday goods are already on display
in abundance. Now is the time to

take this amount, and he averaged to 5.

Only four games of the long program ar

The most important Of all, the trophy con-
tests for the Hamilton cup which was be-

cine, Wis, and the Cleveland Whist Club
as the contestants in the finals to decide
the championship, resulting in victory for
the former. They played forty-eight deals,
and at the end of these they were tied.
The Racine men. however, had trifie the
better of it on matches and won out by a
narrow margin Of l. The winning team is
composed of w. H. Carpenter (captain).
H. D. Shedding, w. G. Palmer and A. F.
Gates. This gives the Horlick Whist Club
possession of the famous whist trophy for
the next twelve months, and they will have
to defend it against all corners.
There was also an interesting finish for
the Minneapolis trophy, which decided the
pair championship for men. This resulted
in victory for the Scranton Bicycle Club
