Work Of City Administration Endors rsed

The members of the Owosso I'm.
provement Association at the noon.d day
meeting Tuesday by unanimous vote
approved the work being done by
Mayor Sprague and the council in
having stone taken from the river to
be crushed for macadazing roads. 1t
was the belief that all available city
funds should be utilized in getting out
as many stone as possible before the
fall rains raise the river to point
where the work cannot be done. This
will allow stone to be crushed late this
fall and to resume work early in the
spring. Attention was called to the
fact that the taking out of the stone
in the center of the river will form a
channel which will carry off all sewage
more rapidly than is possible when the
water runs over the space of the pres.
ent width of the river and thus the
double purpose of making better roads
AMI Of safe guarding the health of the
residents of the city will be accom-.
plished.
A proposition looking to the locating
in the city of an established iron
working plant was considered and the
matter referred to committee con-
sisting of Warren Pierpont, E. o.
Dewey and w. E. Hall. 1t would be
necessary to sell stock in the enter
prise to the amount of $s2, 500 to secure
the plant. The establis hment is being
looked over and its business investi.
gated today by two Owosso citizens
and a report is expected next Tuesday.

Hon. Arthur y. Tuttle Writes of
Russia.

nu83td.
Arthur j. Tuttle. United States dis
trict attorney, has returned from an
extended trip through Norway. Swed-
en-, Russia, and several other sections
OF northern Europe. The following de.
scriptive letter, written from Warsaw,
Poland August 4, to the Lansing Jour
nal win interest our readers.
Tonight / expect to leave Russian
territory and go to Berlin. / have
spent some time not only in Russia,
but also in Finland and Poland, the
two best Russian provinces. find
that while the Poles are dissatisfied
with Russian rule, they are not 30
outspoken in their discomfort and
evidently do not resent the strong hand
of the czar quite 80 much.
OPINION OF RUSSIANS.
1T is my opinion that the views of
the Americans with reference to Rus
sia and her people are erroneous, 1t is
OF course presumptuous for me to ven-
ture an opinion after only two weeks
spent in this extensive country. 1
have at least visited the capital of Fin.
land, the two capitals of Russia proper
and the capital of Poland. 1 am at
least sure in saying that the American
notion Of 'benighted Russia is over
drawn. These great cities of Russia
will show as much of luxury and high
life as New York or London. The
'hobble' and the harem' are more nu-
merous than in any American city.
While every large city has it's slums, l
doubt il they are worse or lower than
our own large cities like Chicago. So
much is said of the crimes committed
in Russia that one thinks of it only as a
people of thieves divided into two
classes, viz. those in prison and those
out of prison. The American is in
clined to enter Russia with. but little of
value and that hidden away out of
sight. l have felt as safe here at any
time of day or night as I would on the
streets OF, Lansing. They have a most
complete system of police protection.
A policeman stands in the center of the
street at each four corners, so that he
is in sight of four other policemen all
the time. Each house or store is COM
PEELED to maintain man on guard &C
the front gate for one half the time, or
in other words, each two houses to
maintain one man all the time.
OF course he is sort Of yard
man, and does some work, but he is
always in call of the police on the cor
ners, and he is sort of deputy and
charged with keeping order in front of
the two places under his charge : The
policeman does not take any one to
Jail. If he wants person taken to Jail
he calls one or more of these yard men
and tells them to take the party to jail,
50 the entire city is under most CON-
plete surveillance all the time. The
police department is a sort of graduate
school for private soldiers. They must
have served in the army before they
can become policemen, 80 they are men
trained in military affairs.
JUDGES ARE LENIENT.
Il had supposed that Russia was
most cruel and unreasonable in the
enforcement of the criminal law. l
find that this applies almost entirely
to political matters. If one mixes up
in politics or interferes with their
strong rule, they are likely to be &C.

Representative Lewis of Mary.
land this week introduced bill to
merge the express companies of the
United Stat, into the postoffice
system with the object Of reducing
the rate over one half on small par
cells aud about one-third generally
and to extend the system to the
country districts by help of the rur-
al delivery, which he proposes to ex-
md further. MIR. Lewis says,
There are two main reasons why
postal express is necessary-Erst,
the express company service doe I
reach the country aud the farms,
aud second, the contracts of the
express companies give them an
average rate of three fourths of a
cent per pound on parcels with the
railways. while the government is
paying the railways &c pound for
carrying mail. In order to get this
comparatively cheap transportation
rate for the carriage of parcels, /
propose that the express companies
contracts with the railways be ac-
quired by condemnation. on the doc
trine of the right eminent domain,
and that bonds be issued by the
government to raise the necessary
funds" Mr.. Lewis fully explained
his plan in an address in the House.
He showed that the charge for
carrying express packages in the
United States is sixteen times as
much as for carrying freight, while
the average in other countries is
only five times as much. He said
that the express companies were
making so per cent profit on capital
actually invested.
