ed in investigating this question. 1t is
rumored that the bidding was not fair
and that the fact that there was practi-
cally but one biz, should not cause this
village to throw the thing up.
We understand that member OF the
council has ia his possession a letter
from the chief engineer of the Common
wealth Light Il Power Co. OF jackson,
the company furnishing power to the
electric railroads and lighting the cities
of Kalamazoo, Marshall, Albion and
jackson, stating that the plant could be
built for approximately the amonnt vot-
ed, including flowage. We have been
further assured by two other engineers
of wide reputation that the plant can be
built for the original amount voted. Ii
il can be done for that amount 1t is as
good proposition for the village as 1t
ever was and should be carefully con.
sidered. The only alternative is a
steam plant which will cost half or
more of as much as the proposed water
power with an annual expenditure for
coal sufficient to pay the interest on the
entire amount of the bonds and some to
pay on the principal. The estimated
life of any steam plant is only 10 years,
and unless compelled to do so, the vii
lage, in our opinion. should never go
into steam.
The fact that mandamus has been
sustained by the supreme court requir-
ing that the Paw Paw river drain be
built, and that every parcel from the
Main street bridge will be assessed for
said drain unless the dam is built, to-
gether with the added value to their
lands has caused the owners of the flow
age to reduce the price asked last year.
1t is safe to estimate that the tiowage
will not cost more than half of the
amount formerly asked. Further. we
are assured that il the dam is not built,
the village as village will be assessed
for benefits for said drain.
1t is current report that an act OF
the legislature has been asked by some
of the candidates on this ticket to allow
the issuance of s25, 900 additional cleo
trio light bonds. This is not true, nor
have they any such intention. II the
dam cannot be Quilt for the amount
voted, it will not be built. None of the
bonds if sold, will fall due until all of
our present Indebtedness is fully paid,
and we believe that If the dam is built
it will not add anything to our taxes.

In regard to our investigation of the

endeavored to be faithful and honorable
in seeking to ascertain the facts as to
the cost Of constructing the dam and
installing suitable machinery. The sum
total of lowest bids on machinery, con-

Jeshurun Takes Exception to State
ment in Kalamazoo Gazette.
The Kalamazoo Gazette is responsible
for the statement that Hon Josiah i.
Hawes was once circuit Judge of the
Kalamazoo Allegan circuit The Ga
zette should have known that there
never was any Kalamazoo Allegan cir
cult There was once an Allegan- Kala-
mazoo Van Buren circuit, but that ex-
listed prior to Judge Hawes elevation to
the bench. Judge Hawes, however, did
preside over the destinies of the ninth
judicial circuit, consisting of the coun-
ties of Kalamazoo and Van Buren-not
Allegan-for a full term of six years
having been elected to that honorable
Office at the spring election in 1875, to
be followed by Judge A. j. Mills, who
was chosen as Hawes' successor in the
spring of 1881, and both men honored
the high judicial office to which they
were elected The circumstances of
Judge Hawes election were somewhat
peculiar. He was a democrat and was
the nominee of the democratic party.
The two counties, then as now, we're
strongly republican, but Van Buren,
thought she was entitled to name the
republican candidate. Kalamazoo would
not concede this, and having control of
the judicial convention by reason OF her
greater number of delegates, nominated
Hon. Dwight May for the position.
Van Buren, refused to stand for his can
ddacy and nominated as her candidate
Hon. George w Lawton of Lawtou.
The result was that neither republican
candidate won out, although their com
bined vote greatly exceeded the demo
era. vote, and Hawes was successful.
Six years later Van Buren, secured the
nomination and election of the candidate
of her choice, but did not retain posses
sion of him any great length of time
but that is another story.

Statement by Candidates on the
Citizens Ticket.
In order that the voters of the village
may understand the platform of the
citizens ticket, and the objects to be
carried out so far as possible, if said
ticket should be elected. the undersigned
desire to make the following statement,
showing where they stand relative TO
the interests of our village.
The most important question confront
ing our citizens at the present time is
the one of electric lighting. Something
must be done and done soon. The old
plant, while it has been a money maker
and has satisfied our needs to within a
short time, is now worn out and made
quate to the requirements OF our people.
The old question of our proposed new
dam and power plant has been before
the people, and the fact that only AZ of
our citizens were not in favor of the
proposition shows that the people, with
but few exceptions. are favorable to the
proposition, provided that it can be done
for the amount voted

Nothing BY Which We Can Accurately.
Tel les Age.
The great sphinx of Gizeh bears no
inscription by which we can tell It's
date. In 1916 Caviglia, who in mod,
ern times was the first to clear away
the sand, found between its paws a
stella OF the reign of Tllothmes W.
and therefore it was believed that tile
sphinx was carved by that monarch.
But in 1883 the excavations Of Mari
cite uncovered stella bearing the
name Of Cheops. on which is a refer
ence 10 the sphinx. The Inscription is
evidently Of late period. but is sup
posed to be an exact copy Of an an
Gent carving. and the translation seem
ed to place the sphinx earlier than the
pyramids aud consequently to prove It
the most ancient piece OF work in the
world Still there remained four lines
carved on the base which could not
be read, but NJ. Daressy deciphered
them, and It appears that the inscrip-
ton is In two parts. In the earlier
lines there Is no mention OF the sphinx,
but the lines which date from the Per
sim occupation mention the repair OF
the sphinx. There is, therefore. moth
ing by which we can tell the date Of
the monument, and the only evidence.
we have Is the headdress of the Colos.
sps. Its hood is ornamented behind
with three bands, large one between
two smaller bands. Now, this is a.
fashion which only existed toward the
end of the Twelfth; dynasty IN the
reigns, Of Usurtesen Ill. and Amenem-
het Ill AS this family showed much
zeal for the god Harlnaklln. whose por-
trait the sphinx. is, 1t Is probable that
the monument is the work of Amenem-
