SAYS GRASS IS FAIR.
Pete Johnson Returns From Range Says Situation Could Be Better.
cerned.

Pete Johnson came in this week from his stock ranch. He states that the outlook on the ranges is fair though nothing more than that. Much depends upon more rain.
 Cattle at this time. MT. Johnson says. are in good flesh, but lack the substance to the flesh which stock men term tallOw.' In the mountains the grass is strong and coming ahead nicely. In the lowlands the situation is different The grass there lacks strength and is. at a stand still Though the outlook might be more promising. MT. Johnson is inclined to the belief that everything will Ocme out satisfactorily.

The hearing of E. Contrares. to have been held yesterday. was postponed until this morning, when he will be ar raigned befor United States Commis- sioner Cassidy.
 Immigration Officers Cornell and Murphy have woven a chain of eyi- dence about COntrares that puts him in an exceptionally bad position and leaves him, apparently, no chance to escape from the tolls of the law. His removal from the community, as has been previously stated. will take out a citizen whose prominence has been largely attained through arraignments in the police courts by reason of brawls indulged in at his place of busi- ness, which in recent months has at tained a most unsavory reputation.

Chester House is one Of the largest
hotels here and accommodates about
100 guests. This town is surrounded
by low mountains Tin California they
would call them foot shilis) COW
cred with evergreen trees, pine,
spruce and balsam, with some maple,
birch and elm. This town was first
settled by the Quakers or Friends
something over one hundred years
ago. The buildings are nearly all
painted white. The town lies in a
little valley of possibly one thousand
acres-a small stream running
through 1.-THE outlet from Friends
Lake and Loon Lake. There is a
nice little water power and a grist
mill that my father used to run many
years ago which is still here and in
good condition, but has been re-
modelled and maze into more modern
roller mill. They have a shirt and
overall factory that employs about
one hundred hands here ON the

chief industries of the town.

DEATH OF MISS
Iona JOHNSON

In the death of Miss Iona johnson
the tender instincts of all Grand
Rapids as well as Of many far beyond
her borders, have been strangely
moved. A sympathy SO singular, so
rare, so far reaching extending as far
as she was known and which extends
in a literal sense from palace to cottage,
is well worth inquiring into.
After every just deduction it seems
to imply some rare excellence in life
and works. What is that excellence?
To answer this question will not
lead us far. The excellence of Miss
johnson is indeed of the rarest of
earth; but at the same time it is
plainly and easily recognized broad
sincerity. A sincerity which spells
tenacious adherence to high ideal
regardless of rank, or station, or power,
or influence of education, or ignorance,
or wealth, poverty or descent.
By every word, by conscious act and
unconscious thought Iona johnson
was true to that law of her being,
which recognizes that above all
distinctions of rank and tation there
is certain equality. That law which
recognizes that, whether of high or
low degree, kind words and gentle
manners, as they are the fruit of
loyal nature and noble mind, are as
essential to our being as to our hap
piness. More especially did she
show her favor to those from whom
the son of prosperity was hid, but the
spirit was always the same, the
generous impulse always guided.
Her many charitable deeds were well
known, but because it was as much
part Of her nature as her charity.
Fortune smiled fairly upon Miss
johnson. Environment and heredity
alike paid her tribute, she was doubly
blessed with wealth and happy
temperament, yet to all persons in
various circumstances and various
places she was the same Iona John
son, true to the same ideal.
But the same generous insincerity
and truth, one such as ours, whom we
have lost, one In whose heart resides
some affiuence of divine wisdom, some
tone of the eternal melodies is the
most precious gift that can be bestowed
on a generation. We see in s1ch. "a
freezer. purer development of what
ever is noblest in ourselves; their life
is rich lesson to US and we mourn
their death as Of one who has loyed
and taught us.
Miss Iona johnson died at her home

Friends will gather at the home
Saturday morning at $50 and the
funeral will be held at the Catholic

On Thursday, September l, at 1890
p. m. Naaman Belknap, the well
known old settler who resides in the
first ward died very suddenly of heart
failure. Mr.. Belknap had been about
his home this day the same as usual.
He received no warning, his health
was just as good as it had been, no in
dicationS whatever of a summons to
the other shore was to be made that
day. He had been out of the house
doing some chores, when he came in
the house and in doing so remarked to
his wife, that he felt little dizzy,
and laid down upon the lounge to
rest, when few minutes later he
gaSped several times for breath and
all was over. When person is pre-
pared to die, as Mr., Belknap was, we
believe this method of passing away
is one to be favored.
Naaman Belknap was born in the
state OF Massachusetts, ands lived
there until the year 1854 when he
moved west to Stevens Point, Wis,
and from there he came to Grand
Rapids in 1855. He was a shoemaker
by trade and followed that during
his entire residence in Grand Rapids.
except the last few years, Mr.. Bel
KNAPP was good man, faithful
worker and kind and considerate to
his family. He leaves a wife, and
one son, Charles j. Belknap and one

mourn his sudden taking off. The
funeral will take place from the house

A LETTER FROM N. GERARD

GLENs FALLS. N. Y, July 81, 'O4.
DEAR SON:
If you have little leisure time
would like to take you in imagina-
tion up to Chester, q miles north
from here, up the Hudson River. We
will take the trolley car in front OF
the Rockwell House, the finest hotel
in the city, and go directly north
On the journey we pass various fine
old buildings; on the right is the
building of Glens Falls Insurance
Co., the oldest insurance company in
this part of the state. It was started
when l was a small boy. Next on the
left is Gus Sherman's fine resi-
dence, built by him many years ago.
Sherman, who was one of the wealth.
lest lumbermen here, has long since
passed on to the higher life, and all
OF his family except one son have
followed him. Next on the left is
Crandall's Park, very pleasant lit
tie park, given to the village by Mr..
Crandall, wealthy gentleman of
this place. On the left we come to
Browns tavern five miles out, which
was favorite headQuarter for lumber
men and teamsters many years
ago, but is thing of the past now.
Brown sold out and went to Edger-
ton and run the first lumber yard
there. Farther on we come to Will
iamS' monument. Williams was
supposed to have been shot here by
the Indians in early war times. The
next place OF interest is Bloody Pond,
where battle was fought with the
French and Indians, and their bodies
thrown into this pond, hence the
name. To the right, the monument
erected by the Daughters of the Rev
Olution on the site of Fort William
Henry, comes in plain view as we
pass on. Nine miles above Glens
Falls we come to Lake George, called
one.of the finest lakes in the world,
Dotting its waters, which are from
three to five miles wide and thirty
miles long,la 365 islands. At the
head of the lake is the little town of
Caldwell, the county seat of Warren
county. One of the largest hotels
here is the Fort William Henry House
which can accommodate 1900 people.
This place is the favOrite resort
in the summer for pleasure seekers
from New York City.
Six miles north from Lake George
we come to Warrensberg, where here
the Hudson river divides and is called
the East and West river. Here is the
end of the trolley car line and where
we now have to take the stage for
Chester twelve miles distant, through
a country nearly all low mountains,
with small farms along the state
roads.
Chester is little town of about
Eve OF six hundred Inhabitants. The

Opportunities in Northern Wisconsin.

Ellis B. Usher says: For the farmer
living in the older portion of the state,
who is partly In debt for his farm; for
the prosperous farmer who has sons
and Son-in-law, for whom he wishes to
find opportunity; for the man who
works as a labOrer for other farmers
and yet has ambition to own land
himself and to make for himself a
home, Northern Wisconsin offers op-
portunitieS that should be thoroughly
looked into before deciding to locate
elsewhere.

A Beneficial Enterprise.

The big ditch that has been peril
toned for and which is to extend from
Cedar Creek to Broadkiln Creek, has
been located and surveyed during the
past week by the commissioners who
were appointed by the Levy Court OF
Sussex county to supervise the con
struction of the same. The length is
about ten miles, the width is to be
twenty feet, depth five feet, and is to
be cut through marsh land. About
ten thousand acres, which is now COW
cred from six to twelve inches of water,
will be drained when this ditch is com
pleted The uplands bordering near
and on the west side are of the best
quality Of soil, and would be the most
productive in the State but for the wa,
ter that is backed upon them. There
are large streams such as Slaughter
Branch and NAPLES Mill that are over
flowing many miles inland. 1t is be-
lieved that not Onl y great financial ben
efits will be derived by the digging of
this ditch to land owners and tenants
along its route; but as well the general
public will be much benefited. Health
and comfort will be increased by the
of thousands of acres of stag
nant water, as the drainage will pre-
vent many breeding places of chills
and malaria, and billions of mosquitoes,
which are a torment to man and beast;
will improve public roads and cause
ways leading TO the beach; and will
improve both Mispillion and Broad
kiln creeks at the mouth by bringing
a large extra body Of water into and
near their mouths to 90 out into the
