IMPROVEMENTS AT SCHOOL HOUSE

The high school building is receiving
the most thorough over-hauling it has
ever had. The improvements that are
being made will cost approximately one
thousand dollars.
New slate has been laid on large por-
ton of the roof and the tin valleys have
been replaced by copper. The woodwork
OH the base of the cupola and part of the
roof is being covered with tin, The Caple-
Soule Hardware Co. having the contract
for the work All of the exterior wood
work will be repainted and the brick will
be stained The walls of all the rooms
have been retinted; some much needed
changes are being made i'll the basement
which will provide more room for the
laboratories.

SOME FINE FIELDS Of bEETS
Fine Growing Weather and the Pros
pects for Large Yield of Beets
Were Never Brighter.

This certainly is fine growing weather
and has been the finest growing season
that we have had for some time. There
are some poor crops in some sections, but
they are the exception and not the rule.
Sugar beets have been doing we'll lately,
and some pieces that did not show up
very we'll some time ago, where they
have been taken good care of and culti-
waited, are doing well now. Especially is
this the case where the farmer took good
care of them even if they did look poor
and discouraging. 1t pays to stay by a
sugar beet crop all through the season,
no matter how very poor it may look at

RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.
Ross COwles VIII Not he Held the
Charge of Impersonating An officer.

The adjourned examination of Ross
Cowles, who was arrested a short time
ago for impersonating an officer, was held
yesterday morning before Justice Chad
wick. Prosecuting Attorney Salter was
on hand to represent the people and
Cowles retained Bert Hayes to act i'll his
behalf. Several witnesses had been sum-
moned and after they were duly inter
viewed by the prosecutor the attorneys
and the prisoner held long conference.
AS a result of these deliberations Mr..
Salter came TO the conclusion that Cowles
could not be held on the charge brought
against HIM and recommended that he be
discharged.
Although the would be detective
claimed to be an officer i'll the secret SER
vice, it could not be proved that he had
ever acted i'll that capacity by causing an
arrest; accordingly he had not committed
an offense recognized by the statutes. In
his insinuations against the local depart
ment Cowles mentioned no names, hence
did not lay himself liable for slander.
The postofice department will not in
stitute proceedings against Cowles, so the
young man is free to continue in his self
detective job. But probably
he will give up trying to solve the mys-
terry of the S., 600 package.

mains tor accomplishing the task, as the
stumps and logs cannot be taken out
after the pond fills up
The line up of the Alma team for to-
morrow game will be as follows:
Corwin, pitch; Gum. catch; Reynolds,
first base; Brown, second base; Taylor,
third base; Watson, short stop; Frank
Bennett and J. Andrews will play in the
outfield, leaving one postson to be filed
The business places will be closed during
the game so that the merchants and
their employees can attend.
The Stanton team has made a record
this season that few amateur iunes in the
state have equaled. 1t has lost but one
game and that by small margin.
While the Alma nine lacks the proficiency
that comes with long practice the players
have all had experience in the game and
are able to give good account of them
selves. They are modest i'll their predic-
tons as TO the outcome of tomorrow's
contest, but they expect to put up an
article of base ball that will make Stan
ton play the game.

STREETS NAMED.
Council Changes Titles of Many Thor
oughfares and Names New Streets

AT meeting of the council held last
night, the committee which was ap-
pointed to make changes in the names of
the streets of the city, submitted its report
III the form of an ordinance, which was
adopted without dissenting vote. The
object of the ordinance is to systematic
the titles of the streets in conformity with
the requirements of the postofice depart
ment for free mail delivery.
The ordinance provides that all streets
and avenues running north and south
shall be known hereafter as avenues, with
the exception of State ST., which retains
its present name. All streets and avenues
running east and west shall be known as
streets. State St. is to be the dividing
line for all streets running east and west.
least" or west" being prefxed to the
names of all streets lying east or west of
State St.
Forest street, lying between Mechanic

to Park avenue, and shall include the
wnole of said avenue from Mechanic
street north TO the Sanitarium. Water
street shall hereafter be known as Gratiot
avenue. Western avenue, lying between
+. Superior street and the ST. Louis and
Alma state road becomes Hannah avenue.
Center avenue, which lies between the
Pere Marquette K. K. tracks and Alma
and St. Louis state road will hereafter
bear the name of Hayes avenue. High
street, i'll the east part of town, has been
changed to Highland avenue. Hubert
street, which lies between State street
and Elm avenue, has been designated
Downie street. Pine avenue takes the
name of Boyer street. Ely street will
hereafter include all of that street running
from the intersection with Stote street to
Grover avenue.
Some thoroughfares which have never
been named were given titles at last
nights meeting. They are as follows:
The street which extends from the south
corporation line north TO Ely street was
designated Grafton avenue. The street
beginning on the south corporation line
and running north to +. Superior street
becomes Grover avenue. Bridge avenue
Is the new name of the street commenc-
ing at T.. Superior street and running
north to north corporation line. The
Alma-St Louis state road now bears the
title Of Michigan avenue. The street
commencing at Grover avenue south of
Pere Marquette tracks and running east
SO rods, was named Eastward street.
The street commencing on +. Superior
street, SO rods east of the north end of
Grover avenue and running south S5
rods, was designated Pleasant avenue.
Benham & Bro. who have the contract
for setting street signs and numbering the
houses, are allowed 90 days from July
81 i'll which to do the work.
The council received petition, signed
by large number of citizens, asking for
the construction of a footbrldge across
Pine river on Hastings street. The petit
ton was referred to the committee on
sidewalks.

the beginning of the season. IN some
places we find that the beets have been
neglected both in cultivation and hoeIng,
but we think that if YOU get right after
these beets now, if you haven't already
done so, it will make much difference i'll
the yield of the crop and certainly pay.
Some people think that it is big job to
kill a few weeds but if they get right
after the weeds, they will be astonished
how easily they can conquer them. If
the beets are so large that the leaves
cover the ground between the rows, we
should not try 10 cultivate any more, but
if there is only spot here and there i'll
the field where the leaves cover the
ground, we should not hesitate to keep
the cultivation going even if we dill tear
off few leaves where the beets are large.
If beets have heavy tops, do not try to
cultivate early in the morning when there
is dew on them, as they are very brittle
then and will break off very easily, and
if it is very hot i'll the afternoon, they
sometimes will lay so flat OH the ground
that they will wind around the cultivator
shovels and pull many of the leaves off; :;
but aim to cultivate large top beets when
the leaves are up from the ground and no
dew OH them.
Remember that deep cultivation must
cease now Cultivate SHALLOW agd If Won
wish to know the reason why, take a
sharp stick and shove it down three or
four inches in the ground i'll the middle
of the row, then pry down, lifting up the
dirt, examine it carefully and also the
hole, and see the hundreds of little
fibrous beet rootlets that you have broken
of by this simple act, and then think
what you would do to your crop by cult

NEARING A Re ALnY
Work on the New Railway to
Commence at st. Johns in
About Three Weeks.
BACKED BY TOLEDO CAPITALIST
The Promoters Claim they VIII Have
Cars Running on the New Railway
Before Snow Flies.

The Michigan Investor, newspaper
published in Detroit and devoted to the
financial and industrial interests of Mich
ipan, had the following item of interest
to Gratiot county citizens in its issue of
August /:
"a meeting of the directors of the De-
troit, Saginaw & Grand Rapids Railway,
held at Owosso this week, placed the line
nearer, by a very important step, to be-
coming reality. The preliminary work
is now fairly we'll along and certain devet
opments at the meeting appear extremely
favorable.
1t was reported to the meeting that the
preliminary survey of the line had been
completed. The most important step,
however, was the presentation OF a prop
osition from a Toledo capitalist and rail
road man, in whom considerable conf
dence is placed by the directors, to build
and equip the road, conditioned on the
right of way being furnished and sub
scIiptions of stock being secured along
line equal to s., 900 per mile.
The exact teruIs of the proposition were
not given out, but the directors are appar
emily very much encouraged by it. James
S. Smart, of Saginaw, vice-president of
the company, states that the proposition
looked favorable
The work on the road is to begin at St.
Johns, and it will run thence to Maple
Rapids, Ithaca, Alma, St. Louis and Sag
inaw The portion running from St.
Johns 10 st. Louis WILDE built and equip
ped first.
The directors elected Theodore NJ,
Euler to succeed Stanley f.. Parkill, of
Owosso. Mr. Parkill had previously
been chosen to represent Owosso by
mass meeting of that city. The other
directors present were: Bancroft, l.. p.
Sherman; Ithaca, w. T. Naldrett; Maple
Rapids, Isaac Hewitt; Alma, Jotham
Allen; st Louis, c. II. L.aFlamboy; St.
Johns, +. A. Travers; Maple Rapids, Otto
