MANY Changes
MAY FOLLOW
Explorer Soon Ready For
Work In Islands-WiIl
Make Soundings.

Coal and provisions are going into
the United states Coast and Geodetic
Survey steamer Explorer. now lying
at the Eva side OF Alakea wharf, pre-
paratory to the commencement OF an
extended cruise about the Island of
first to receive the attention Of the
officers who are here to conduct re-
charting and surveying operations
under the auspices of the Federal
government.
Captain Dibrell talked interesting
ly of the work which the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
department is accomplishing.
He states that there may be a
number of importsnt changes made
in the charts after the results OF
the new survey are compiled and
forwarded to Washington.
The Explorer will remain at Ho-
nolulu for sufficient time to take on
supplies such as coal and provisions.
II is the present intention to carry
on a complete survey and conduct n
series of soundings around the Island
of Oahu before taking up a similar
line OF work on the other islands.
Upon completion OF the work adj
jacent to oahu. the vessel will pro.
coed to operate along the coast of
Molokai. thence to Maui and Lanai.
The Island of Hawaii is a larger
proposition. and 1t is now believed
that by the time that the work of
taking soundings along the shores
OF the smaller islands is finished. II
will be time for the Explorer to
again return to Alaska.
In this event, Hawaii's survey and
soundings will be conducted the fol-
lowing winter.
Captain Dibrell expressed the be-
lief That he might be authorized to
make series of soundings OF Ho-
nolulu harbor. but he was positive
that the Explorer officers would have
nothing to do in any way with the
coast line at Pearl Harbor.
The following officers are in charge
of the work being conducted by the
United States Coast and Geodetic sur
vey steamer: Captain. w. c. Dibrell,
chief officen J. W. Maupin; chief en-
gineer, LIN. .Hopk'''s: second officer
s. w. Tay; watch Officer, Albert Hun
ter; aid, r. II. Lukens; surgeon, L. NJ

OF Chairman Jim" Quinn, the self
contested father of good roads and
city parks.
The Supervisors shifted from afar
the political atmosphere that was
waited to the upper room of the Nc
lntyre building early last evening and
the most of them became exceedingly
restless as the minutes Of previous
meeting were droned by Clerk Buff
fandeau. The passing of bills au-
thorizing the payment of claims
against the municipality constituted
the principal business done at the
meeting.
The several ordinances that have
been quietly reposing within the con-
fines of the clerks office were not
rudely awakened, 1t being claimed
| that in several instances, the pieces
of legislation were not ready for ac-
ton by the Board.
An attempt was made last evening
to drag forth the so-called Splitting
ordinance" Quinn gazed anxiously at
the clock. the hands of which were
dangerously approaching the hour OF
eight.
There was n large Republican POI
litical rally out Liliha street. Mayor
Fern failed to show up at the meet
ing owing to the fact that those OF
Democratic faith were rallying
around the STANDARD of the Great
Unterrihed." both in Kakaako and
Iwilei precincts.
Member Cox presided over the des-
TIMES of the brief session.
Among matters that came up were
the ordering of installations of cleo
trio lights in several heretofore dark
ened districts OF the city.
Prospect street residents asked that
repairs be made to their thorough
fare. as the top dressing was wearing

funded the sum OF two dollars and

Hon. Chase S. Osborn to Visit
OWosso.
OWosso.

Owosso is to be honored with an ail'
day visit by Hon. Chase s. Osborn of
the 500, on Friday, June 10. 1t is USE
less to make the statement that Mr..
Osborn is one of.the aspirants for the
Republican nomination for governor as
that fact is already known to about
every person in the state. He is max
ing personal canvass and expects to
visit practically all sections of the state
to- extend his already wide acquain-
tance. Wherever he has gone, and
especially where he has spoken, Mr.,
Osborn has gained many friends and
his visit to Owosso has been looked for
ward to with considerable interest by
friends here and many others who ad-
mire him and wish to know him per-
sonally. While no definite plans have
as yet been arranged it is probable that
arrangements will be made for an after
noon meeting at Corunna and an even
ing meeting in this city to be address
ed by Mr.. Osborn.

Three New pepots Ordered.

At the close of the hearing recently
held in this city by the State Railway
Commission to consider the petition Of
Owosso citizens for new railway sta
tions no one present had any doubt but
that the Commission would issue the
order for the erection of new build
ing at the junction by the three roads,
the Michigan Central, Grand Trunk
and Ann Arbor, and separate stations
by the Michigan Central and Grand
Trunk. This is exactly what the Com
mission has ordered, thirty days being
given the roads to file plans for ap.
proval with the Commission, five
months being allowed for the construc-
tion of the building at the junction and
six months for each of the others. AS
representatives of each of the roads
stated at the hearing that they were
willing to erect these buildings it is
now up to the management of each
road to get busy. The quicker this
happens the better Owosso citizens will
be suited.

Memorial Day was fittingly observed
by all the people of Owosso and in all
the villages in Shiawassee county, Mon
day. Exercises with orations, the dec
oration of graves and parades were par
ticipated in by large percentage of the
people and less sports, games and pic
mics we're intruded.
In Owosso the armory was filed. at

Profity by Experience.

To the Electors of Shiawassee County:
I wish to publicly thank the electors
of my county for the generous support
given me at the primary and general
election in 1908, bestowing upon me the
privilege of representing you in the
State Legislature.
That privilege has been wonderful
discipline for me, schooling that !
wish that every voter of the county and
state might have.
l became acquainted with the many
public institutions, their managers, and
the methods of controlling, some of
which criticised in plain English.
At times excited the supreme wrath
of some of these called public SER

which to express their venom and con-
tempt for me, and why2 Because as

right name, instead of patting them

ing them that they merit promotions

"blend" of serving the people and at the
same time DOING them elegantly.
With my experience desire to again
represent you in the legislature of 1911,
believing that l am better qualified
thereby, and respectfully ask your sup
port in my desire, and should be again

my county and the state to the best of
my ability.
Very respectfully,

pie daylight for the workmen to work
by, instead of artificial light now used.
To the west of the body and paint shop,
will be erected the immense Reliance
power plant, capable of developing from
1900 to 1000 horse power. The very
latest electrical equipment will be pro-
vided for generating the driving force

good taste and present an imposing ap-
pearance as one approaches along the
wide sidewalks surrounding the small
park in the front of the building. The
main entrance will be located directly
in the center of the main assembling
building, with side entrances for the
workmen at the extreme left. The
general offices are to be mCst systemati-
cally arranged for the transaction of
large volume of business, and furnish

ideas. The general plan provides pri-
vate offices for the heads of the numer-
GUS departments, these Offices are to be
open overhead about two feet down
from the ceiling, to permit of perfect
ventilation. Selected Southern pine is
to be used for the interior finish of the
Offices. 1t has been found necessary to
increase the present engineering staff,

ed in the general Office building for
this department.

clean streets, the unusually high stand

opportunity to come to Owosso."

The Phenomenal Success Of the Re-
lance Company Due to
Good Service.

Every great business success is
founded on service. The successful
manufacturer is he who supplies the
best for the money, with the least at
tending trouble to his customers. The
successful manufacturer of commercial
Motor trucks, turns out a machine that
is recognized as the highest standard
in his line. His business extends as his
customers find their needs fully and
satisfactorily supplied.
In this fundamental truth lies the
reason for the marvellous growth of the
Reliance Company under the able hnd
painstaking management of Mr.. AZ M.
Bentley, a pioneer in the upbuilding OF
Owosso commercially.
Since the inception of the business,

ing discussion.
"The Real Truth About Our Agri-
cultural College Graduates" was spoken
on by A. B. Cook, who thought pos
sibly from the tone of the topic that
the real truth had never been told.
Mr.. Cook is firm believer in the
Agricultural College and while few of
its graduates have possibly failed to ac-
complish all that was expected of them
the far larger portion make good. The
college can not make a successful man
out OF nothing. 1t must have good ma
terial to begin with.
Theron GLADDEN. gave an interesting
talk on 'The Necessity of Cleaning up
the Highways, Our Privileges and
Duty" Mr.. GLADDEN. thinks that every
farmer should give as much attention
to his road sides as to any other part of
his farm. 1t is great injustice to a
neat, tidy farmer to live along side a
neighbor who allows his roads sides to
grow up to brush and noxious weeds

riages should be stopped and no better
means to accomplish this end than to
enforce the law. Mr.. Chandler declar-
ed that parents were in numerous in

daughters and lack even horse sense in
performing the act. Teach the young
people the Importance and responsible
ity of married life at home and in our
public schools.

In spite of the many handicaps i'm
posed by the phenominally rapid
growth of their business, the Reliance
Company has kept strict faith with
its customers, and through well di
rected efforts has been able to make
deliveries at the time promised. This
condition does not prevail in any other

benefit to all classes of Owosso citizens.
Reliance Pay Roll a Fortune Each
Month.
1--WE are employing at the present time
200 skilled workmen which number
will be increased by at least 1900 when
we get into our new buildings. This
will increase our monthly pay roll to
between $40, QUO and $50, 900 per month.
While there are quite number OF
houses available for this influx of new
citizens, at the same time, I fully be-
lieve that an investment in small
modern houses that will rent for from
$12, to $15, per month would prove
profitable to those now holding real
estate in the vicinity of the Reliance
plant. We do not want to haye the ex.
perience of other General Motors plants
that know of, and not be able to keep
our men after they get here, because of
inadequate living arrangements. In
the development of our business, there
has been the most remarkable growth
that has ever taken place in the worlds
history in the creation of new enter
prise. To build such a plant as we
have planned. for any other line of
manufacturing would take years of
business establishment and months of
serious consideration.
1--WE have simply been forced to move
quickly, and we do not intend to allow
the grass to grow under our feet in the
erection of new buildings, We have SO
many advantages here in Owosso over
the other fellows that our buildings
will be up and machinery running be-
fore other plants, started months ago,
will be in shape. We shall use Owosso
products in our building in so far as is
possible. The bricks to be used in con-
struction work are already on the
ground haying been manufactured in
our own yards. Our shipping facilities
are to be greatly increased by the build
ing of special spurs into our own
yards by both the Grand Trunk
and the Michigan Central railroad
companies. Long loading platform or
docks will be built the entire length of
these side tracks for convenient
of merchandise and lumber.
From this time forward our policy is to
be an aggressive one and connections in
the larger cities for marketing the in
creased output are going forward under
the new departments which we have
recently established.
THE great volume of business now
coming to Owosso through the Reliance
Company, running into hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually, makes it
necessary that our building operations
commence at once" stated General
Manager Bentley when seen at mis-
office today at the Reliance plant. Il
am, as you may appreciate very anxious
for the day to arrive when an army of
workmen such as never before seen in
Owosso, will pour out of the new big
Reliance plant when the days work is
over. Why, do you realize what this
policy of the Reliance Com.
pany means for Owosso2 1t means
simply this, as soon as our buildings are
completed, which l anticipate will be
at the end of four months, the popula-
tion of Owosso will be increased by at
least 400 men, most of whom will
move their families here to locate per-
manently. We are at the present time
seeking to induce some of the highest
class artisans in the business to come
with us. In these efforts we are meet.
