ROWLAND GETS
BARRY'S PLACE
Former Paw Paw Man now
at Head of Insurance
Department of Mich.

Marion o. Rowland, formerly OF Paw
Paw, and for several years, Deputy In
sursnce Commissioner OF Michigan, has
been honored with the appointment Of
commissioners, and is now at the head of
the department Of insurance of tho state.
James V. Barry, who has beenlat the
head OF the department during the past
ten years has resigned to accept a posi-
tion as chairman of the board of govern
ors and general manager Of a bureau OF
publicity which is being organized by
four casualty companies. 1t is an im-
portant and responsible position and
carries with it a salary Of 100000 per
year. The insurance department is one
of the most important of the departments
Of state, and during Mr.. Barry's incum-
bency of the Office the department has
been brought to high standard OF ex-
celence.
Mr.. Rowland has been recognized as
one OF the most capable and efficient men
the department has ever had, and his
promotion to the head of the depart
ment, is meritorous honor. 1t is not
only an honor to Mr.. Rowland and his
family, but the county OF Van Buren
which was his home and where he was
engaged in the newspaper business fol
many years, as we'll.
The appointment is for Mr. Barry's
unexpired term, which will be to July
lst, 1911, when the new governor
will make the appointment for the next
two years. The True Northerner joins
Mr. RowlaDds many friends in congratu
lations on the honor conferred upon him
and trusts that governor Osborn will
recog nize Mr.. Rowland's worth to the
depart ment and to the state, and reap
point him for the next and succeeding
terms.

From his childhood he has worked night

was born near Cleveland, Ohio. in 1916.
His father died when he was but years
OF age. At 7 he went to work on a farm
attending school in the winter. At the
age OF II he began teaching school win
his own education by courses at Hira IN
and Oberln colleges, for six months
in each year. He also engaged in the
mercantile business up to 1875, when he

GOOD
FOR BIG BOOM
Enthusiastic Citizens Meet
ing to Consider Factory
Propositions.
BASKET FACTORY PROBABLE
Would be Valuable to Paw Paw. Pickle
Factory Assured. Big Fair Plan
ned for Next Year

The citizens OF Paw Paw held an en-
thuslastc meeting at the courcil
rooms last Monday evening General
plans we're discussed for the welfare and
prosperity of Paw Paw. The fair was
pronounced great success and it was
the unanimous sentiment of those pres
ent that another one, bigger and better
and more satisfactory 10 every way be
arranged for next year. The old commit
tee on arrangements will hold over until
their successors are appointed.
The prospects Of securing factory pro-
jects for Paw Paw we're discussed to
some extent and the outlook is indeed
flattering The pickle factory is assured
and basket factory a probability. The
pickle factory will be built somewhere
in the vicinity of the depot by the Bud
long Pickle company Of Chicago. The
req uiste acreage has been secured and
the company are satisfied with the out
look for lucrative business.
The basket factory proposition is up
to the business men of Paw Paw and
the probabilities are that they will not
let the project GO by default. The COM
pany, OF which George Benton of Law
ton is manager, was formerly located at
Lawton. Since their factory at that
place burned they have been looking for
new location. They are very anxious
/ to come here and all they ask is the old
box factory owned by Mrs. Lillian Ea-
ton of South Haven. This, The True
Northerner is advised, can be bought at
a reasonable figure, and negotiations are
now under way to secure the same. The
company have timber enough 10 Arkan .
sas to run the factory for the next 30
years. They employ on az average from
l5 to % men the year around and pay
out each year in the neighborhooi of
$4,000. Thus can be seen the advantage
OF securing such factory for his place.
We want the factory by all means and
no time should b. lost in closing the
deal. The matter so far as Paw Paw is
concerned was left 10 the hands of tbe
following committee: L. j. Cavanaugh
e. b. Longwell, w. K. Sellick, Ii. A.
Cole and f. N. Wakeman.

REPUBLICANS SCORE
VICTORY IN MICHIGAN
Osborn Wins by $4,000.
Democrats get two
COngressmen.
GOOD MAJOR|T|ES IN COUNTY
Entire Republican County Ticket
Elected. Very Light Vote Cast.
Result Brings Surprises.

The election is over and the votes are
counted. There we're many surprises, and
really the result in Michigan is about the
only bright spot, from republican
standpoint, in the whole election. And
even in Michigan, there were some sur
prises. Congressman Diekema in the
Fifth district and Congressman Denby
from the First were both defeated by
'-sccrats. The Michigan delegation in
and 2 de nocrats. The democrats also
made slight gain 10 the Michigan leRis-
lature, and the next legislature will be
made up as follows: House OF repre-
sentatives, So republicans and IL demo
Gratis. Senate. 30 republicans and dem
ocrats.
The decisive manner in which Chase
Osborn defeated Lawtou T. Hemans is
very gratifying, and relieves to some ex-
tent the bitter sting OF the many defeats
throughout the state and nation.
There was veritable democratic land
slide in nearly all OF the heretofore strong
republican strougholds in the east. New
1Orh, mdSShCuuSetIS, hnOue lSldDu,
Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana are now
in the democratic column. In these
states the defeat was decisive, the ma
TIS being large enough to eliminate
c.. ne shadow of a doubt as to
ioritn .1timent ia those states. Judge
Harmon, who is talked OF as democratic
possibility for president in 1912 wa:
elected Governor OF Ohio by large ma
jority, while Dix was elected in New
York state by over $4,000 in the face o
Roosevelt's strenuous campaign for th,
