GROWTH OF REDGRANITE

1t has, according to the census just
completed Of the village, 400 in
habitants with floating population
OF fifty extra. Four years ago about
this time all that comprised Red
gra mite was a store and post Office and
the old school house. Several persons
were just beginning the construction
of residences.
Now Redgranite has seventy-two tax
payers, railroad, newspaper, tele-
phone office, a new school house, many
new and modern store buildings, a
fire engine and apparatus, churches,
etc. A large amount of money is paid
out there to quarrymen working IN
various quarries in that village and
vicinity and vast strides have been
made since that village was incor-
porated year ago.

BASE BALL GAME SUNDAY
Plays Here Sunday.
Promises to be q Close Game.

There will be another good base
ball game in this city Sunday. The
first team have written to a number
of teams since the game last week,
and Wautoma has consented to come
and be laid away on the bench. For
the boys are determined that the
game shall not terminate as it did
last week 10 respect to score, but that
they are to do the visitors up brown.
Wautoma has fast team and it is
going to require some real ball playing
to do them at the game, as they have
record Of only one game lost this year.
Their record in that respect is the
same as the home team who have lost
but one game, so the contest promises
to be good one. Last Sunday the
Wautoma team played Almond, who
had almost the same team as the
Plainfield aggregation that came here
and the Wautoma team won out by a
score Of to 6. This means they are
close players and as the home team
claim to be the same, a good game can
be expected, next Sunday.

CAMERON DAM
FIGHT ENDED

Mississippi Log s. Boom company
have given up their fight against
John Deitz at Cameron dam on
Thornapple creek. Dietz has fought
single handed against big corpora
tiOn backed by state and federal
courts, with only his rifle to aid him.
More than twenty million feet of
lumber has been stored up there for
the past three years waiting for Hietz
to let them through: this he refused
to do till paid. The company would
not pay him and he held the logs.
defying anyone to try to run the logs
through the dam.
The company now. propose to haul
the logs around the dam and re-foat
them below. This means a practical
acknowledgment of Dietz's rights to
the dam. The lumber had to be
moved this year or it would have
been spoiled by boring insects.

Nothing is doing today only taking
the distance we have travelled and it
is found to be 2S6 miles. The next
day we see couple of boats and in
the evening program is prepared,
| with some good numbers. Just before
the entertainment squall struck us,
and there were not many who ven-
tured out to the entertainment.
In in the morning. Sunday, we
enter the Windward Passage, and
the first land shows up in the island
Columbus discovered, San Salvatore.
During the day we see number CT
islands, all about 1000 miles from
New York. At noon We have religi-
Gus services ON board, former Bap-
tist minister officiating. The next
morning We are awakened by news
of death on board. We think it to
be joke at first, but upon going on
deck find it only too real. Tuesday
morning; the last SAD rites are
held for the unfortunate today and
the last mortal eye is to see OF her is
a long white canvas cofhn which
shoots off the plank and all that is
mortal of an aged mother is consigned
to the deep to await the last day.
She was on her way to join her son at
the IsthmuS, but her 80 years were
not strong enough to withstand the
trials of the long ocean trip.
We are now in the Caribbean sea
with about five miles of water directly
beneath us. The ship rolls and the
water splashes up onto the deck, a
distance of about twenty feet. But
we are getting our g sea legs" and do
not mind the motion of the ship, be-
ing able to move about the deck with
ease.
AS we cross the Caribbean sea, we
encounter heavy swell, and it is very
monotonous, there being not sail
sighted all day. Our arms are exam
ined for vaccination scars, and unless
| we can show a good scar, we have to
be vaccinated before we will be
allowed to land. L was pronounced all

On July II, we sight the South
American shore in the morning, and
a little later We enter the bay at
Colon. Our flag is half maSte 4
because of the death we had on board
while enrOute. The health officers
come out, order us to drop anchor,
and we have to take our seats at the
tables and be counted An army
officer is with him and he informs US
that the new employees are to remain
on board the ship till our exact loca-
tiOn is determined upon and our

Hygienic Picture Books.

The lively microbe is ever with us,
and among his happy hunting grounds,
SO we are told, are the pages of old
books. But this is the age of hygiene,
and so the London publishers have had
the lucky Inspiration to invent some
wonderful rag picture books which will
never carry disease and yet come up
smiling" says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. There are all sorts of attractive
little books in this ingenious series.
The hygienic system is also applied to
the baby's playthings, for here are rag
pictures OF toy elephants, horses, etc,
which when cut out and stuffed may
be sucked by King Baby without hurt.
