pounds, and it required eight men to
carry it to the residence of the sports

We, living in Grand Rapids, some
times do not realize just what indus
tries and great plants are being Oper-
ated within a short distance of our
homes. Warren Beadle, a Grand Rap
ids man. now superintendent of sui.
phite at the Nekoosa paper mill, came
to the city Monday and inspected the
new Roenius foundry being built on
the east side. Reinforced concrete
construction under way was new
sight to him. and he was overcome
with wonder at the means used to
construct the building. 1t had never
occurred to him before that such a
sight could be seen right here in old
Grand Rapids. Going further on his
way to the city, he stopped and went
through the MacKinnon wagon plant.
Previous to this visit. he always
thought nothing but hubs were manu-
featured here. instead of the finished
and complete wagon that is turned
out. We should always get acquainted
with every part of our city, and then
there will never be any inclination to
depreciate the value of our home town
to others, and we will be better able
to realize what fine town we really
have here.

SURRENDER OF THE FLAGS.
Civil War Trophies Await Orders of
Southern GovernorS

Washington, March 1G.-GeneraI
AinswOrth, the military secretary, has
been charged by the secretary of
war with the execution of the joint
resolution of congress authorizing the
return of civil war battle flags.
General Ainsworth will send a cir.
cular letter to the governors of, all
the states known to be interested in
the flags now in the custody of the
war department, in forming them of
the action of congress and asking their
wishes with respect to the disposition
of the flags borne by regiments of
their respective states during the civil
war.
There are about 544 of these flags
and standards, about 100 being union
banners which fell into the hands of
the confederates during the war and
were surrendered at the close of the
war. All of these old flags are now
stored in the flag room of the war de-
partment, and are said to be in a good
state of preservation.
