DAM IS
NOT DEFECTIVE
Chippewa Falls Herald Publish
es Result of Interview.

The Journal of Wednesday con-
tanned short article in regard to the
reported defect in the dam built by
w. E. UIe at Jim Falls, on the Chip
peWa river. To convince his friends
that the report was not correct, we
herewith publish a statement which
appeared in the Chippewa Herald of
Wednesday. The article read as fol
lows:
''In regard to the alleged defect in
the big concrete dam at Jim Falls it
may be stated that the Davis Falls
Land Co., the owners of the dam and
water power there, deny the state
ment, claiming that the dam is all
right. Capt E. S. Pearsall, mem
ber of said company, interviewed the
Herald this morning and stated:
"The option for $1,OOO,OOO given
on the Jim Falls dam and water
power with flowage rights to Bylles-
by & Co., Chicago, by Davis Falls
Land Co., does not expire until the
middle of June. The engineers for
Byllesby are at work on the dam.
They have not found any defects in it
nor any leakage nor have they re-
ported any to their company. The
engineers are taking levels and test
ing the ground for the big canal of
nearly a mile that is to be run from
the dam on the east side of the river
down to site for a power house.
Also these engineers are surveying
a new dam to be erected at the foot
of the rapids a mile below the pre-
sent dam which in that case would be
used as a reservoir. If the dam
at the foot of the rapids is built, ther
the canal will not be dug.
"The story of the alleged leakage
of the present dam probably grew
out of the fact that in the mid stream
the granite Lodges on each side did
not meet, lacking eight feet. Here
steel piling q feet long were driven
down to solid bottom and on these
and extending to either granite ledge
an immense block of cement, so feet
long, was cast, that is perfectly solid
The Davis Falls Land Co. does not
care whether Byllesby & Co., take up
their option. But we do not admit
tba- there are any defects in the big
dam. ."-Stevens Point Daily Jour
nal

BUSINESS COLLEGE
TO HAVE NEW HOME

The Grand Rapids Business College
will occupy the entire second floor of
the new Nash Block on Grand Avenue
after June TO-
The increasing attendance at the
college has made it necessary to find
larger quarters than the present Ioca-
tion affords.
This is an ideal place for the
school, and the building is well
adapted to school work; has an
abundance of light and is steam
heated. The rooms are handsomely
decorated, and will be fitted up with
modern appliances and conVeniences.
The school is deserving of the nice
new home it will now have, for it is
certainly doing a splendid work in
fitting young people for business life.
The principal, Mr.. Hayward, informs
us that more than sixty students have
been in attendance during the present
year, and many of these have finish
ed their course and taken office posi-
tions. The college has won the con-
fidence and patronage of the busi-
ness public, and has been very sue
cessful in placing all graduates.

POSTAL BANKS
A DETR|MENT
Grand Rapids Don't Want Post
al Depository.

Postal savings banks, which are
now being established in many cities
in the country, are not nearly so
great a boon to the people as many
have been LED to believe said a
Grand Rapids banker this week in
of a bank in this city t'It simply
means that the money which has hitE
erto been deposited in the local bank
for safe keeping, will be placed in the
hands Of the government and will be
deposited in the large cities, where
government repositories have been
established. The money is withdrawn
from circulation so far as this locali-
ty is concerned, and will not benefit
any one, save the small remunera-
ton the depOsitOr receives in the
way Of interest, which is one per cent
less than paid by banks"
Under the plan adopted by the gov
ernment all deposits are turned over
to repositories, which have qualified
as such by putting up government or
municipal bonds as security. These
repositories are practically all in the
large cities, where banking and trust
companies make a business of bonds.
The banks in the smaller cities use
sons and business houses, and they
have but little left to invest in bonds
No bank may be designated as a de-
pository unless it shall have purchased
government or municipal bonds and
then but seVenty-fiye per cent of
their face value may be received in
deposits from postal savings banks.
1t is, therefore, readily apparent
that money deposited in a govern
ment savings bank must necessarily
be sent to some other place, thus ben
fitting the big banks in the large
cities to the injury of the local banks
The only real argument in favor
of depositing money with the govern
ment is it's absolute security, but in
city like Grand Rapids, where the
men in charge OF the banks, the di-
rectors, stockholders and officers are
known to be trustworthy, where their
financial statements show strong in
stitutions, the people have no reason
to fear the loss of their money. The
banks pay three per cent interest on
time deposits; the government pays
but two per cent. Money deposited
in the banks stays at home, it is used
to help build up and develop the conn
munity, whereas money deposited in
the postal banks is not loaned to in
dividuals or any one other than to de
positories.
