JOHN FINLEY DEAD

John Finley, a we'll known farmer of
the town of Saratoga died at bis home
in that town Saturday lmorning, No
vember fourth. He was an old man.
in fact one of the oldest men in, Wood
county, and this fact together with an
affection of the heart was the cause
death. He was not severely Ill
for any len 9Th of time, and death
came rather suddenly. ..s-s...
John Finley was born in Ireland, at
Belfast, on February 2, 1926. He came
to this country while yet young man,
and entered the occupation of farm
ing, which occupation he has followed
more or less ever since. He was mar
ried to Wisconsin girl soon after his
coming to this country, and from that
union two children, living now in
Saratoga, were born. They are Lean-
der Finley and Mrs. Arthur Timm.
Mr.. Finley was soldier in the Civil
war, serving for three years. Re-
spected for many years by those who
have known him, his judgment being
accepted by all his friends as valuable,
there were many Of his old friends who
attended his funeral on Tuesday
morning. He was inferred in the Cal
vary Cemetery in this city. Under
taker Ragan of this city had charge
of the funeral.

About the Canal Zone.

The REPORTER is in receipt of
another letter from George Hunting

paper printed in that country. which
is printed partly in Spanish and the
rest in American. Apparently Mr..
Huntington is enjoying the country
near the equator, and must be per-
fectly satisfied with his work, since
his letter, as all will see, is written in
a satisfied vein. We append the letter

AS she arrived she held a short con-
yersation with the gunboat Princeton
which shook the ground something
like the blasting at the Consolidated
plant during its construction. From
force of habit we looked up in tie air
for flying rock. Not seeing any it
daWned on our minds that it was
cunning. We did the same when the
French war ship arrived and de-
parted recently, but presume we will

DEATH CLAIM IS PAID

The Catholic Order of ForesterS re-
ceived through their local clerk this
week, check for $1,000 in payment
for the death claim of Mrs. Julia Hein,,
wife of William Helm, who was killed
in the switch yards here about two
weeks ago. The aid will come as a
great help to Mrs. Helm, who is left
with seven small children, and IL was
fortunate circumstance that her
husband was insured. The officers of
the Foresters made record for time
in paying the claim, as the whole
time between the filing Of the claim
in Chicago and the receipt OF the check
here was only five days. The letter
containing a proof of death was sent,
on November 2, and the check came
the seventh.

above the flood mark they are covered
by pine, hemlock, maple, some oak.
Eastwood, birch and poplar. All the
islands have been surveyed by the
government. and all are held by pro-
perty holders.
Other facts about the pond are
these: Railroad creek empties
into the pond on the rivers right
bank near Big island, nearly in the
town of Rudolph. The pond is one
anG half miles wide at this point.
Mosquito creek emptieS into the river
on the other bank and nearer the city.
In all parts of the pond there is first
rate fishing, the particular fish caught
being small mouth black bass, pike,
pickerel, channel cat fish, and perch.
The fact is not generally known that
there is good fishing in the pond any
more, but there is. Only last summer
the clerk of the Circuit court for
Wood county caught a nine pound
pike in the pond; one of the employees
of one the banks caught pickerel
weighing twelve pounds; farmers boys
have caught black bass weighing four
and a half pounds: and SO it goes.
1t has never occurred to most
people what chance for good farm
one or more of these islands would
offer. True, a bridge would be neces-
Sary to get onto the bank in order to
come to the city, but there are places
where this could be easily done, and
at small expense. For instance

in THE CONSOLE
DATED POND

Did you ever stop to think about
all the facts existing in regard to the
Consolidated pond in and above this
city. What is not in the city of Grand
Rapids is in the towns of Grand
Rapids and Rudolph. 1t is formed. as
all know, by the big DAM in this
city, which has head of twenty
eight feet and is LOO feet lGng. The
pond extends up the river as far as
Biron, where the Grand Rapids Pulp
and Paper company'S dam terminates
it's whole length of about four miles.
Here is fact that every one does
not know: there are twenty islands in
this pond, one of them large enough
to make nearly two regular govern
ment homesteads of 100 acres each.
Every one knows Long island. or Big
island as some call it; most persons in
the city know Hunters island,
and Of Biron island. The largest of
these, Big island, contains, by govern
ment survery, 304.62 acres. The fact
that the water comes up on this a
little will cut this down to about three
hundred acres, which would make
quite a farm. Hunters island is
plated for LOG acres, and now pro-
badly contains about one hundred
acres. Biron island has about the
number of acres that it is plated,
seventy acres.
There is another island near the
city known as nine acre island, which
formerly contained nine acres, but is
now mostly under water. All the
others of the twenty islands are above
| the flood mark, and though they have

what our local papers look like and
contain.
GEO. M. HUNTINGTON.
The write-up in the paper mentioned
in The letter about the chief engin-
eer. John f. Stevens. describes that
individual as being man who likes
to conquer obstacles, and is always
too busy with his work to have time
to talk Of himself to news paper
man. He is going at the work at the
ISthmuS with all the force and
strength true American can muster,
and with an Americans push and
energy is advancing that work as fast
as brains and the material at hand
are able to advance it. Mr.. Hunting
ington says the men under Mr.
Stevens ali like him, and respect his
ability and friendlineSs to them.

information, as it were, 1t can be re-
lied upon that the work at the 18TH
