WOULD BOUNCE THE COMPANY
Grand Rapids Wants Repealed the Char
ter of a Hydraulic Company-Caus
of the Trouble.

of the Trouble.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March "A. - A
formal attack was made in the coun-
Gil upon the charter of the hydraulic
company, looking towards it's immedi-
ate repeal by the state legislature. A
special message from Mayor Sweet
was accepted and the city attorney
was instructed to draft a bill repeating
the charter and to send at once repre-
sentatives to Lansing.
The cause for this action is the re-
cent movement of the company to Sc
cure Bailey Springs, which supplies
water the city wants in its up-river
plans. The mayors communication
gives an affidavit of r. Rypma to the
effect that he laid a drain for the hy-
draulic company connecting it's wells
with the river and permitting draught
upon the river for the hydraulic mains
to supply the city.

View OF the Military Authorities.
Military authorities here believe that
unless General Linevitch is sure of his
ability to hold the lower Sungari line
he will risk his whole army il he forti-
fies and concentrates there. as if he
should be defeated his line OF retreat
Hes on two sides Of triangle, the third
side of which is open to the enemy's
advance. At the general staff the view
that General Linevitch may be COM
PEELED to abandon Hardin and retire
towards Lake Baikal, leaving Vladivos-
tok to it's fate is regarded as almost
unwarranted by anything that is of
ficially known there.

STARTLING NEWS !
FROM THE FRONT
Linevitch's Position Is Giving the
Russian Military Authori- -
ties Much Worry.
MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP HARDIN
Result Would Give Russian Soil to
Japanese Invasion.
New Commanders Position Is Strate-
gically Weak-Situation Seems
Favorable for the Peace
Movement,
MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP HARDIN

st. Petersburg, March 24.-The pos
sibility that if the Russian army
should be unable to hold the lower line
of the Sungari river at Chunchiatsu it
may be compelled to retreat not only
to Hardin but also farther westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese northern Manchuria and the
Russian maritime Amur provinces as
we'll, is the latest startling news from
the front.
Too Serious for Consideration.
The strategic weakness of General
Linevitch's position as he falls back
northward is made clear by Gunshu
dispatch to the Associated Press, in
which it is pointed out that unless
Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines,
scant hundred miles below Hardin, can
be held 1t will be difficult to maintain
a position farther back before Hardin,
where, with the front of the army
paralleling the railroad the practical
bility Of turning movement to CON-
pletely sever communicate and isO-
late the army 5000 miles from home
is too serious for Russian considera-
ton.
Suggestion of the Correspondent.
In view of this possibility the dis
patch alluded to suggests the advisa-
bility of Immediately providing Vladi-
vostok with war munitions and sup
plies for a two years siege. The cor
respondent estimates the number Of re-
Inducements needed to give General
Linevitch the requisite superiority In
force at 100000.
Fact That Is Significant.
That such a dispatch should have
been permitted to pass the censor at
the front is significant; and if Gener-
al Linevitch has communicated SINH
lar estimate of the situation direct to
Emperor Nicholas it may account for
his majesty's increased disposition to
listen to peace counsels and open nego-
tiations before the Japanese establish
themselves on Russian soil. With Man.

Millions Could He Saved.

1t is estimated that it costs the farm
ers $950,000000 a year to move their
products to the railway stations, says
the Louisville Courier Journal. The dis
tanceS to be traversed vary greatly In
different sections. The minimum aver
age is four miles in New Jersey. In
Arizona the average Is sixty miles, In
Utah thirty eight miles and In Wyo-
ming forty miles. In the southern
states the general average is about ten
miles. 1t is supposed to cost about %
cents per ton to transport farm prod
uctS Il mile, and IL is estimated that
two-thirds Of the present cost might be
saved If good roads were universal.
That means an annual saving of over
5000 100000 Il year. Besides, the agri-
cultural department estimates that the
value of farms would he increased to
the extent of $4,000 900, 900.
