CARRIE IS STILL ON WAR PATH
Visited the National Capitol and Made
Herself Obnoxious. Escorted
from Building by Police.

The many Paw Paw friends of Carrie
Nation, the "smasher," will be glad to
know that the dear old lady is still on
the "warpath' and that she has not for
gotten the many mild CD reforms to
which she mildly and gently referred
while on the chautauqua-platform here
last summer. On the other hand, ac-
cordiog to Washington correspondent,
she has been TO the capitol at Washing
ton, and wherever she went evidences
of her presence will remain for some
time. Following is the dispatch:
Washington, D. c., Dec. l5-'You
ought not To smoke, admonished Carrie
Nation, the hatchet wielder in the cause
of temperance, to a doorkeeper, as she
entered the gallery of the house of repre-
sentatives today The doorkeeper just
laughed. 10 one of the corridors ad
joining the house chamber messenger
was smoking cigaret.
'Bff' went blow at the demon of
nicotine and Carrie Nations right arm
shot the cigaret into the air
! Mrs. Nation played no favorites, but
made a general round of the capitol
In the supreme court she spent a quiet
quarter of an hour li5tering to legal
arguments In the house office building
she meandered around and talked To a
member or two.
In the senate office building Carrie
started to harangue the crowd from the
interior steps and was escorted outside
by the capitol police.

THE COOKING CLASS PASSED
The Glass Stands "a" and the Bill of
Fare Was A No. One. Teach
ers Enjoyed the Test.

School examinations are associated in
the minds of most of Us with questions
on the board" an array of pens and ink,
and paper that remained painfully blank
while one searched the innermost recesses
of ones brains for facts that should have
been right on top; in short, a time OF
general anxiety. Some school examina-
tions are like that still, but one was Bad
at the Paw Paw high school on ALShday
that was different.
Ii was in the domestic science depart
ment which is in charge of Miss Mar
shall. The class was that in advanced
cooking, which numbers four young
aides: Misses Hannah Olson, Minnie
Russell, Gladys Stoughton aud Leona
Nelson. The examination was a dinner
planned, cooked and served by the class.
The examining board consisted of Prof.
O'Leary and the teachers of the high
school, all serving with cheerfulness, not
to say, enthusiasm. The meal was served
at noon Monday in the domestic science
room, the table being decogated with a
gilt star and Christmas tree in the center,
and the places marked by decorated
cards.
! The bill of fare was: Roast chicken
with dressing, boiled potato, creamed
onion, hot biscuit, jelly and pickles; Wal
dorf salad: date torte with whipped
cream, coffee. 1t speaks for itself.
The examining board wasted 20 time
in idle conversation. Steadily, consci-
eutiousy they ate, and with increasing
enthusiasm. Each dish Was the best Of
it's kind, and when the Loo o'clock bell
fell on reluctant ears, unanimous vote
declared that the class had passed
with flying colors, and that each mem

.F|REMEN SAVED
THE BUILDINGS
Bad Blaze at Free 4 Nor
risOns Lumber Yards
Saturday Night.
CAUGHT FROM BAD CHIMNEY
Splendid Work by Firemen. Blaze
Confined to- Office. Small Loss
Covered by Insurance.

The Free IL Morrison lumber and coal
Office caught fire last Saturday evening,
and but for the strenuous efforts of the
firemen, would have burned to the
ground, and possibly ali of the mill
buildings might have gone with it.
The fire caught from defective Chin
ney, but how is something of mystery,
as hard coal was used in the office stove.
1t IS probable that SCOT had collected in
the chimney from the soft coal used
early n the season, and caught from the
hot stove pipe. The fire company we're
on the scene soon after the alarm was
sounded, and worked like demons until
the flames were extinguished. There
was quite strong wind blowing at the
time, and the flames which had worked
their way through the upper part of
the building we're hard to subdue Two
lines of hose we're necessary, and even
then it looked at one time as though the
building would go. The loss will prob
ably not reach more than $4,000, and is
partially covered by insurance. Had
the building burned it would have been
a serious loss to the company as there
we're mahy hundred dollars worth OF
glass and finished windows and doors
10 an adjoining room.
1t was bitter cold night, and after
the fire was extinguished the firemen
looked like living icicles. When they
got back to the engine house, they were
surprised TO find nice lunch. including
plenty of hot coffee, to greet them.
John Mutchler, Will Snow and Elmer
Downing had anticipated their needs
and prepared for them.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the Paw Paw fire department. At this,
as we'll as every other fire, they are
prompt to respond TO the alarm, know
just what to do, and do it quickly. Paw
Paw is indeed proud of its efficient fire.
men, and appreciate their efforts to save
life and property. There is not bet
tor or more efficient volunteer fire de-
partmert IN Michigan.

Petitions calling for another local op.

sion % examine the same as to their le-
gahty and efficiency. The las time peti-
tons we're presented to the board asking
for vote On the question the board de-
cided that they were insufficient and
refused to call an election. 1t is prob
able this time, however, that those hav-
ing the matter in charge have been more
particular, and without a doubt the
board will be obliged to call an election
The statute provides that the petitions
shall contain one third as many signers
as there were votes poled at the last
general election. The total number of
signers in the county must therefore be
2462, as the total number of votes polled
at the last general election was 1886.
The Paw Paw petition contains 256
names and copies of the same are posted
in three places, viz: Dyckman house
corner, in front of the engine house and
at the corner of Main and Niles streets.
The number of votes polled in Paw Paw
township at the last general election
was was 705, and il other township aud
precincts in the county have as many

total number will be sufficient to call an

CLAIM CREDIT
FOR LATEST
SCHEME
GOVERNMENT IDEA OF 25-MILL.
ION-DOLLAR APPROPRIATION
ORIGINATED WITH MA
HONY OF THIS CITY.

Lest We forget" that this section
of the country is productive of big
things and that we are entitled to the
limelight just at present attention is
called to the great amount of pub
licity and discussion being given to
the suggestion that the federal gov
ernment make an appropriation of
S25. 100000 for reclamation and ir-
rigation purposes.
This is brought forward as a solu-
ton for the red tape and entangle-
ments of the present method and it
is being warmly supported by United
States Senators, Warren of Wyoming
and Borah of Idaho.
The idea was first suggested in
Grand Junction ut a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce by Secretary
Thos. +. Mahony several months ago.
At that time he projected the sug-
gestion at general meeting after
the matter had been considered in
committee for several weeks. 1t was
the result of serious and careful
thought on his part and was sprung
only after long series of committee
conferences.
When the idea was first niooted it
was ridiculed by some of the mem
p'io Vi NohSitSs. sNtHdlOl
Teller, but with deeper investigation
of its merits and due consideration
of the embarrassments, which it was
believed that the prevailing financial
system of the reclamation service
would ultimately face, ridicule turn
ed to respect and now respect has
undergone transition TO open and en-
thusiastic advocacy from many quar-
ters. notably Senator Warren of Wy
oming, member of the national irri-
CATION committee, and Senator Borah
of Idaho.
A day is coming when the matter
will receive official consideration of
vital consequence in congress, so it is
just as well that Grand Junction
establish its claim for originating
the idea before some other and less
original section puts forth its claim

dren and teachers of the city schools
Thursday and Friday of next week as
holidays in view of President Taft's

John Allison was reelected as tru-
ant officer for the ensuing year

the board to represent the Athletic
association in requesting an approp-
Ration for an athletic coach. Mr.

representing the Chamber of Com
merce. He stated that he considered
football an excellent advertisement
for the interests of the city and that
fine football team would help the
business of the merchants all along
Main street. After considering the
matter the board of education voted
one hundred dollars towards paying
the athletic coach. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Sill Bernard, who did such
excellent work with our team last
year, will be the football coach. Our
