GE Ry|LLE REACH
The Distinguished COntfaltO Engaged
for Saginaw May Festival

Within the past few years a new
star has appeared, among the musical
consultations familiar TO those who
enjoy the best in music, in the person
OF Nine. Gerville-Reache. This dis
tinguished artist first came to Amer
ica under contract with Oscar Ham
merstein, after she had scored signal
triumphs in both Paris and London
At the Manhattan opera house she
was an immediate success. During
the present season she is acknowl-
edged to be one OF the leading concert
singers of the country. Words do
not seem adequate to convey the de-
has appeared In view of her great
popularity and success, together with
her high artistic powers, it is with
more than ordinary satisfaction that
the executive committee OF the Sagi-
nav May Festival organization an
nounce the engagement of this gifted
woman as a star attraction for the
coming festival.
Mime. Reache is Frenchwoman by
birth, with a strain of Spanish blood,
and is not only brilliant artist but
highly attractive in appearance, and Of
a pleasing personality.
Her voice is described as a rich
contralto the lower notes deep pow
erful, resonant, and the upper register
exceedingly sweet and mellow. The
Los Angeles Daily Times, speaking
of her appearance there last month,
says that as the possessor of vocal
organ of thrilling beauty and majes-
tic use, she is certainly not surpassed
by Schumann-Heink or any one else.

CHEAPER THAN BRICK
Cement Paving Being Used in Ann
ArbOr, Jackson and Other Cities =
WILL PAY TO INVESTIGATE
Claimed to be Better Than BrCk-COStS Sl0O
per Yard Against $L95 for Brick

The condition Of Alma's business
street in spring or fall months, or for
that matter Immediately after a
shower or the passing of sprinkling
wagon, should make the following,
which appeared in a recent issue OF
the State Journal OF Lansing, inter
esting reading The article referred
to said:
The street committee of the council
composed Of Aldermen Van Halteren,
Biegler and Smith and Superintendent
OF Public Works Wilson and City En-
gineer Sparks made trip to Ann
Arbor Thursday for the purpose of in
vestigating the cement road work
that has been done in that city and
about which so much is being said
"The council contemplates paving a
number of miles OF streets this season
and so much trouble has been expert
enced with brick in years past that it
is purposed to get away from that
problem, if possible The Lansing
officials who inspected the Ann Arbor
idea came back filled with enthusiasm,
having verified to a detail everything
that has been said about the cement
pavement.
THE cement pavement is composed
OF a concrete foundation, layer of
cement like a sidewalk and an upper
coating of tar and sand Ann Arbor
has mile and half Of this kind of
street on the covering OF which City
Engineer Grove OF that city is trying
to get a patent The pavement has
been down for two years and shows
no wear 1t was tried as an expert
ment at first and now petitions are
coming in so fast that the public
works department of Ann Arbor can
not this year do the paving that is
asked for.
The cement pavement has these ad-
vantages: 1t costs ST. a yard to lay
it against $1.95 yard of brick pave
ment. The work can be done by the
city and good share of the material
used can be purchased at home. 1t
is practically indestructible. Cement
pavement is noiseless and almost dust
less; it is easy on horses feet. 1t
can be repaired when torn up for pipe
laying and the repairing done so that
the patch cannot be discerned 1t
never has any sunken spots or rough
places and can be so constructed that
perfect drainage is possible.
Jackson has adopted the Ann Ar
Dor idea and has laid some of this
kind of pavement for experimental
purposes. It's many advantages and
indestructibiity has so pleased citizens
of Jackson that cement paving will
undoubtedly be the future road Of
that city"

FOUND THE BOTTOM
Of Pine River After Travelling Through
Ten to Fifteen Feet OF Water
TWO ALMA BUSINESS MEN
In New CapaClty-Can Not Catch Fish With
Hook, So 90 to River Bottom for Them

Sunday, April 23, was the day. A
canoe, a fs pole and two of Alma's
hustling young men, better known as
Jim and Roy, completed the para
phernalia that furnished excitement
for number of spectators who were
enjoying themselves on the green
just above VOLTS bridge last Sunday
afternoon. The men referred to had
set oles and line for fish while they,
to avoid the shower, had gone to the
banks, and beneath the protection of
their canoe observed one of their
poles sink, and possibly thinking a
20-pound pickerel, or perchance a
river sturgeon, had the hook and
would make way with pole, line and
hook, the canoe was placed in the
water and the two young men, Roy
and Jim, were soon aboard and off for
the scene of action. 1t is thought by
those watching from the shore that
the boys were fearful that their catch
might get away, hence in a flash the
canoe was overturned and the men
headed for the bottom of the Pine to
head off the escape if possible Their
descent to the bottom, however, was
made so quickly that when they ar
rived at the surface Of the water their
lungs were filled with sanitary CD
river water and to save their lives and
perchance wait for more opportune
time to pass on" they forgot their
fish and put forth strenuous efforts
to reach a point where, standing on
bottom, their heads might be out of
water. That they were successful in
SO doing is matter of gratihcati
to their numerous friends in Gratiot
county For had it been otherwise,
the Alma State Savings bank would
have been looking for an assistant
cashier and Simon Messenger, the
diy goods merchant, for an assistant
in his place OF business.

it when / have time to talk it. We
came back TO the hotel (situated on
the river) and, after a bite, prepared
for the concert, which began at 1880
1t was very interesting to sit in the
audience and hear the remarks made
about the prima donna. She is a very
great favorite and aroused tremendous
enthusiasm. She looked very beauti-
full in red, glittering dress which
just appealed to the Hungarian heart,
and sang magnihcently. She is a
great artist there is no question about
it, and her gracious charm and sweet
personality make her quite irresist-
able. After the concert was over and
the people were leaving, her departure
was like a triumphal procession.
She was cheered and applauded all
the way to her carriage and we came
on with her, feeling very chesty be-
cause we belonged! She received a
huge laurel wreath with Hungarian
decorations. We came directly home
and had lunch quietly in her room.
She and her mother have just left for

ments next week, and Emily and
