"MOVE ON" ORDINANCE
Unanimously Adopted by The
City Fathers Last Week.

Move on! No loafing here. Move
on!
Thus will the police of the city ad-
dress the youngsters and older men
who hang around street corners, day
and night, and vile away the hours
passing remarks about pasSerS by,
when the ordinance passed by the
City Fathers at the last meeting
shall have become law.
For some time past there has been
a great deal of complaint regarding
the ''cOrner holders" and often times
their conduct has been insulting and
ungentlemanly to ladies, and others
passing along the streets attending to
their own business.
The habit of lOafing around the
streets, or hanging around some saloon,
is not good example for older men
to set smaller boys, and the young
sters are very apt in picking up
the habit contracted by many of the
older men, who find this kind of a
paSstime pleasure. The common
council took cogniZance of the evil.
and evening passed an ordinance,
which, from aud after it's publication
officially, will prevent the continuance
of this unpleasantness in this city.

PROTECTING
ITS CUSTOMERS
Reiland Packing Co. Employ Ex.
pert to Examine all Meats.

The Reiland Packing Co of this city
being anxious to watch and protect
their customers from any meat that
might be infected with tubercular
trouble, have engaged the services of
DR.. V. P. Norton, the graduate
veterinarian of this city, to inspect
all cattle that this firm purchases,
with an eye single to prevent the
spread of this disease.
During the past summer they have
found none of this trouble as result
of this inspection. Recently, how
ever, they had reason to suspicion a
certain cow which had been offered
to them for sale, and they had the
animal placed in DIR. Norton's barn,
where he applied the test necessary
in such cases. He found that it was
infected, and the state sanitary board
at Madison, has been notified to come
and verify the test, and destroy the
animal,
This precaution on the part of this
company is certainly very commend
able, and ought to be followed by all
dealers.

year President Jackson applied busi-
ness methods to the problem and ap-
pointed committee on resolutions TO
whom was referred all questions for
discussion. Arguments were pre-
sented to the committee which re-
ported its findings to the association.
This was not only great saving of
time but resulted in all questions re-
ceiving much more careful considera-
tion.
"Some of the best talent in Wiscon-
sin appeared on the general program.
The men appointed by President
Jackson to prepare the sectional. pro-
grams were in every case men who
have had long and successful expert
ence in school work and who knew
what would be of practical value to
teachers. Every speaker who appeared
on the general program had message
for the teachers, which will help to
make them stronger teachers. The
programs of the sectional meetings
were all of practical value in the every
day work of the school.
Zone of the most far reaching re-
suits of this association, if it is carried
out, is the suggestion of President
Jackson for the appointment of a
permanent body to be known as the
Educational Council. This will be
for the working out of educationa
problems, in way to secure perma'
nent results from the discussions.
Taken all in all, this has been a
meeting which will be long remem-
bered."

CHILDREN'S SKATING POND
Alderman Arpin Will be The
Youngsters Idol Hereafter.

Alderman j. B. Arpin will receive
the gratitude of hundreds of school
children in this city. when it becomes
generally known that he was the
father of an ordinance introduced and
passed by the City Council last week
which provides for skating pond
for the youngsters on either side
OF the river, to be maintained by the
city.
The ordinance in question sets aside
two skating ponds, one in east side in
Library park. and the other on the
west side, the location of which is
still to be selected These ponds are
to be formed by flooding. and the sur
face is to be kept CLASSY and free from
snow by the city workmen. All the
aldermen appreciated the value of the
novelty to the little ones, and the or
dinance was passed unanimously.
Therefore, when winter comes, it
will come with added attraction to
the little ones who have been pre-
vented from going skating by their
parents, who feared they might break
through the ice and drown. This
winter a place will always be kept in
readiness for them, and there will be
absolutely no danger from this source.
In Library park the slough to the
rear OF the grounds will be filed by
backing up the water therein, and
this will be allowed to freeze. AS
soon as this is done the city workmen
will flood the surface, and whenever
necessary remove the snow, so that the
skating surface will always be ready

"THE BEST WE EVER HAD"
Administration of Prof. Jackson
so Characterized by Prof. H.
G. Youker.

Grand Rapids is fortunate in hav-
ing two such prominent educators as
Prof. Jackson, of the Wood County
Training School for Teachers, and
Prof. H. S. Youker, superintendent
of the city schools. Both are pre-
eminent in this state in their special
line of work, and both have been
highly nonored by the educators
throughout the state,
During the recent State Teachers
convention in Milwaukee, each one
occupied prominent position IN the
public eye, and it is interesting to
note the views of each, as secured by
a representative of the REPORTER
This paper also publishes an inter-
view with Prof. M. I'll. Jackson,
upon the work of Prof. H. S. Youker
as embodied in his recent meritorious
address, together with an abstract of
the address, which has been mailed
by the State Associa tion to five thous-
and educators.
In this connection the following
interviewed with Prof. Youker, upon
the work Of Prof. Jackson will be in
teresting.
''The general opinion of those who
have been attending the State Teach
ers Association for many years, is
that the association this year under
the leadership of President Jackson is
the best we have ever had'', said Supt.
Iii. S. Youker
''The manag ement of the associa-
tion was in every way admirable. In
former years much valuable time was
lost in general business matters. This

"OBTERVER" SEES
MONEY In NOISE
Advantages Which Accrue to a
Railroad Terminal City.

But few people are fully aware of
the direct value to our city derived
from having a railroad terminal in
Grand Rapids
On the G. & n. w. there is the
Fond du Lac passenger run known as
400 and 40 which makes the round
trip to Fond du Lac daily with the
Sunday layover in this city, this MAX
ing Grand Rapids the headquarters
for the crew.
The way freight runs No. 436 and
439 on the G. & N. W. also brings one
crew into the city every day with a
Sunday layover also, and the Nekoosa
run keeps it's crew here as permanent
residents the year round.
The crews on the through runs No.
437 and 43S generally get dinners at
this point thereby leaving little
more money to circulate in our city.
On the Wisconsin Central there is
also yard crew which lives here
permanently and on the Green Bay &
Western this city is a passenger and
wayfreight terminal both, with a
switch engine crew and round house
crew who reside here the year round.
1t is readily seen that from this
source alone goodly amount of trade
is derived from which we all reap our
share in one way or another.
In addition to this feature is an
other which is valuable adjunct, viz.
the necessary handling Of freight In
course of transfer etc. All terminal
points are the scene of more or less
loading, reloading and transferring of
baggage and freight which requires
additional clerks, freight handlers,
ETC., who necessarily live here and
thereby contribute their share to the
resources of trade in the city. This
fact also is responsible in part for the
necessity of more draymen and trans
fer lines than would otherwise be
necessary to handle the business of
just an ordinary city, not terminal.
'Tis plainly evident, when having
reviewed these facts, that our city is
benefited to the extent of many
thousand dollars annually by being a
terminal point, than it would be
otherwise; therefore let us not be-
come aggravated over the noise of
switch engines with their changing
bells, and shrieking whistles, but just
worth thousands of dollars to our city
each year from which we each derive
our share in one way or another in
directly or otherwise. OBSERVER.

STATISTICAL

Makes Annual Statements.

According to the report of P. Nc
Camley, supervisor of assessments for
Wood County, the assessed value of all
real estate in the district is ST, l66, $40.
According to this same report the as
sessed value of Grand Rapids real es-
tate is So, 3,2l6,475 while the true value
is placed at s3.2O5, 500. The true
value of real estate in the district is
placed at SIC, ,735,l77. 1t will be noted
from the figures given that the real
estate assessed valuation or Grand
Rapids is $lO,912 greater than the true
valuation. This is also true of the
town of Lincoln where the assessed
valuation is higher by SO, l42 than the
true value.
The report contains many interest
ing and valuable figures, and is we'll
worth the perusal of any TAX payer.

THE HEAVENS
THESE NIGHTS
Heavens Display Some Interest.
inf Things This Month.

Much of interest can be seen in the
heavens these nights. Mercury has
been an evening star but will pass
through inferior conjunction on the
morning of November IA and become
a morning star. Ordinarily Mercury
passes through it's conjunction with
out getting in front or behind the
sun, but on this occasion it will be in
transit. As seen in this region, the
sun will rise with Mercury, as small
black dot on it's disk near the upper
left-hand limb of the sun, and the
planet will move upwards and pass off
about an hour after sunrise near the
upper point of the limb. The planet
should be visible on the sun in a small
telescope if the air is not tco un-
steady.
Venus, Mars and Saturn are the
conspicuous evening planets The
first appears low over the southwest
horizon after sunset; Mars still holds
a high position in the southwestern

WILL DRAIN TO THE RIVER
Council Adopts Second Drainafs
Scheme Advanced.

The common council at its meeting
last week adopted the system
for the west side district, which will
drain the marsh lands to the Wiscon-
sin river, and bids were called for.
1t will be recalled that there were
two systems advanced, and the one to
drain away from the Wisconsin river
was the one recommended by the city
engineer A number of the aldermen
believed that the cheaper way would
be to drain these lands to the Wiscon-
sin river, and another set of plans and
estimates were called for.
1t proves that their idea of the
drainage was correct, and that the
lands in question could be drained
cheaper toward the Wisconsin river.
therefore the second plan and speci-
fications were adopted, and the work
will undoubtedly be commenced next
spring.
