about six months before the tragedy
Howard had been the defendants fa-

"a Four Miles New Mains

'I'm going to be compelled To have
some mighty good people in police
court pretty soon, if they don't get
busy making sewer connections" said
Ed Peyton, superintendent Of water
works and sewers; and he continued:
"We have about four miles of the
main sewer extensions and few people
on the lines have made connections.
Under authority Of the ordinance re-
quiring connections to be made for
closets wherever the sewer has been
laid, it is my duty to make complaint
against every party who fails to con-
meet and this ! shall do on the 25th Of
August, according to notice already
given. Everyone who fails to comply
with the law is subject to a $25 fine
and if there isn't something doing
pretty soon TN fill the city treasury
with fines collected"
Mr. Peyton also stated that contrary
to his expectations, the waterworks
are still running on paying basis
although he has lost some Of his large
consumers like the cotton oil company
during the summer while plants are
shut down. With the connections
made with the new extensions Of wat
er and sewer mains, the number o.
consumers will be greatly increased
and the revenues correspondingly- I
will certainly be to the advantage o
those interested to make the sewer con
nections without being compelled +
pay fines for failure to do 50.

GOOD WORDS
FOR THIS CITY
A. Decker Writes His Papers
About Grand RaDidS.

For many years Grand Rapids, like
Topsey 'just grew" and quite ma
turally it's growth was along the line
Of least resistance. AS a consequence
it is only within recent years that
the people of the city awoke to the
fact that mere natural progress was
not all that might be desired
A city does not grow within itself
and out of it's own resources. There
must be cause for city, a country
back of it. Trade must flow naturally
to build city as water flows into
lake. Where all these conditions
are favorable the building of a city is
certain as the growth of a plant.
Commerce like force, follows the line
of least resistance, and it is commerce
that builds every city. Trade and
manufacturing are the industries that
bring together large population.
The City of Grand Rapids is
practically in touch with every other
part of the Wisconsin Valley. The
farmers product, the dairyman's
butter, the cattleman's beef, the sheep
raiser'S mutton and wool, the lumber
mans boards and timbers, all in fact
that the Valley produces, is directly
or indirectly in touch with Grand
Rapids.
If this Valley were new again and
you were to select a practical site for
thrifty little city, you would prob
ably not go far from the Wisconsin
River, and you would find that nature
had done all that you could ask,
to make this region around Grand
Rapids uncommonly attractive. The
next lucky fact is, that the right kind
of men have begun the development
of it. Begun is the right word for
as much as has been done the work
has hardly started.
Harvesting the Wisconsin River
and its many splendid water falls to
make them give up their power, to
turn the wheel of the machinery of
progress, is an enterprise that ought
to be promoted to it's utmost.
There is or was a business mems
association active in way. While
this club may be too modest to cry it's
attractions loudly, the gardens of the
valley send their fruitful flavor over
the region and the waters are as
bountiful as the soil. A man who
can win success can find dozen ways
to win it here, not easily of course.
The day when blind luck was wait
ing at the next turn of the road is
past.

WAS WELL KNOWN
IN PORTAGE

A telegram from Grand Rapids
Wis, announced the death on Sunday
of Miss Katheryn Sheridan of tuber
culosis. Her sister died few months
ago OF the same affection, after having
been in Colorado for some time.
After her sisters death, Miss Katheryn
returned to Denver in hopes of regain.
ing her health. She grew worse, how.
ever, and was compelled to return.
Miss Sheridan is well known in Bara-
boo, Portage and adjacent territory,
having served as clerk in two or three
Baraboo stores at different times, for
several years. She was for time en-
ployed by Peck & Clavadatscher in
their store at Baraboo.-Portage-

Nature. is not only bountyful but
beautiful here also. 1t would seem
hard to find a more attractive pam
arama than the City and the river as
they appear from the tower of the
High School building, which crowns
one of the hills and there are few
who have viewed the beauty from
this emminence who will not concede
this to be one of the fairest of cities.
The City itself spreads in a valley
before you showing its solid qualities
by well built blocks: its beautiful
homes, trees and shrubery. In the
distance the chimney stack tells the
story of industry.
The people are prosperous because
OF the rich hard wood forests, because
of the ever richer fields and farms,
because of the lumber and fruit, be-
cause of the water power and mills:
nearly every form of wealth produced
is near by. The North woods has
taught men to take conditions as they
found them and make them pay.
They make money more easily than
they save it.
The people of Grand Rapids have
local jealousies. They have griev-
ances against the railroads. In a
word, they are human. But every
citizen has the same mind about
bringing new men, business men and
manufacturers to help in the common
task. This public spirit and this
temper of helpfulneSs attracts good
men, and makes men good.
Grand Rapids from a social stand
point is a wonder. May we celebrate
her virtues, develop her resources,
correct her faults and rejoice in her
bounty. A. DECKER.
