A new architectural firm has es-
tabliShed headquarters in this city
over the DAILY drug store. Both mem

Grand Rapids young men. and their
many friends will wisl them the
heartiest success in their new under
taking.
Geo. B. Miller, well known as the

brother of John Jacobson, of the firm
of Jacobson & DeGuere, will do bust

from training and experience are
worthy of good patronage, which
they will undoubtedly have from the
start.
They have moved their drawing
tables and office fixtures into the suit
of rooms in the Daily block immedi-
ately in front of the long distance
telephone office. They may be found
there any time during business hours
where they will be pleased to meet all

done at the annual meeting which
was held Monday night in the Office OF
| the superintendent was the passing
of a motion which declared that q
new manual training and domestic
science building be built this present
year. and the passage of a resolution
confering the thanks of the school
board to the executors Of the will OF
the late J. d. Witter The motion
states that the new building shall be
named after the donor
Following this resolution and
motion was another motion instruct
ing the chairman to appoint COM
mittee of five members to secure
plans and specifications for such a
building, and to report back to the
board at the earliest possible moment.
In compliance with this motion the
chairman appointed the following
committee: Chairman L. P. Witter,
t. A. Taylor, w. H. Reeves. W. F.
Kellogg, and J. W. Natwick.
The immediate action of the men,
bers of the school board on this
matter of the construction of new
manual training and domestic science
building should be commended by
every citizen interested in the COM
pletiOn of our already excellent system
of schools. AS the superintendent
stated in his annual address the cree
tion of this building will place Grand
Rapids second to no school system in
the state of Wisconsin, and this in
itself will be card that is sure to
draw outsiders to this city as a place
of permanent residence. 1t is be-
lieved that the generosity of the late
j. D. Witter, has not only enabled
the schools to have an excellent build
ing, but that the bequest is sufficient
to equip, and establish an endowment
sufficient, or almost so, to maintain
the equipment up to the very best
standard.
The school board should be con-
graduated for this valuable step, and
the future generations will attest the
wisdom of the action taken Monday
evening

DEATH OF MRS. F. J.
SEIDL OCCURRED SATURDAY

PITTsvILLE, Wis, March 90
Again has the grim Reaper Death en-
tered our midst and claimed as its
own, Mrs. J. f. Seidl, who died last
Saturday morning after an illness of
only ten days duration. All that love
and human hands could do, was done
but all to no avail. Mrs. Seidl was a
devoted wife and loving mother and
will be greatly missed by her family
and large circle of friends. She leaves
to mourn her loss, husband and two
small children, Clarence aged four
and baby daughter aged six months:
mother, five sisters and two
brothers. The body was taken to her
old home at Marshfield Monday for
burial, accompanied by the Rebekah
lodge of which she was a member.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon. The sympathy of the commu-
nifty is with the stricken husband and
family.

CREAMERY TO MOVE

The Chambers Creamery Co. have
leased the basement under the new
postoffice and will. move their entire
establishment to that place just as
soon as the proper arrangements can
be made.
The location in the postoffice block
is one of the very best locations in
the city either for wholesale or re-
tail, and the management of the
creamery were favorably impressed
with this. They intended to manu-
facture ice cream for the trade. and
it may be that they will see their way
clear to establish a retail depot in
connection with their establishment,
and in this event, the location close
to the bridge would be advantageous.
The work of preparing the basement
for this adjustment has already
been started, and the fixtures and
machinery will be moved as soon as
convenient.

CHANNELS ALL CLEAR
Danger From Ice Jams Will be
SLIGHT This Year.

There has been almost a constant
stream of ice over the Consolidated
dam now for several days, and this is
known to be good indication-in fact
an aSsurance-that there will be nc
heavy jams or threatening periods
this spring. The Consolidated mill
people opened good big channel early
this year. and thus the ice that has
been breaking away to the north, has
had free and unretarded movement
in the pond, and in fact all the way
up to Biron.
The ice began to come over the dana
last week, but first clearing below the
dam SO that the river was unob-
structed. A large jam at Biron
moved away, and while it caused
some damage there, carrying away the
boom and piers and compelling the
shut down of the mill, the damage is
slight.
From WauSau we note that the ice
also moved and it is not thought
that any difficulty will occur. The
channel between Port, Edwards and
Nekoosa is entirely clear, and thus it
will be seer that there is no danger of
large jams any where along the line
Shortly before noon the water in
the river at this point registered
nine and one-half feet above low wa
ter mark, and this is the highest point
reached this spring. 1t is thought
that the water has reached it's highest
point. and will soon begin to recede.
The only damage so far at this point
is the slight one caused to the gates
on the dam. Several of these have
been badly smashed by the pressure, of
! ice and water.
