DRAFT AkEY

Thursday evening CIeve Akey bowled
285 on the west side alleys. and in
cidentIy gets $500 in trade at the
Johnson & Hill store and $500
box Of El Magno Cigars made by the
Badger Cigar Co.
Al Normington has asserted his
rights? and drafted Akey for the
NOrmington team this year. Captain
Normington had scouts watching A
keys work with the Johnson & Hill
team last year and these same
scouts been trailing him all fall in
his training. Normingtons and
Gleues have locked horns over the
ownership CT J. B. Arpin. 1t is
probably that the matter will be
carried up to the National commission
for settlement. Both claim to have
seen him first and each claims that
the other saw him last So first
and last and all the time, there is
a big scrap on for his services. A
key was obtained at a small cost,
being simply drafted from a class c
team into a class A team and the
Normingtons only paying the money
requirel for the purchase of a class
c man. 1t was foxy work that
won the peanut for the Normingtons
last season and you can see that
same high class Bean work start
ing already this early in the seas

SECURE ANOTHER
Biz CONTRACT

Messers Jacobson and Ackerman,
architects, who left this city for
Sterling, H., the first of the week
wired Chas Shearier. their foreman,
on Friday afternoon that they had
secured a contract from the Rock
River Power Company of that city,
to erect and complete an entire new
power plant for them, and for him
to prepare and ship all tools nee
essary to commence work thereon
Immediately. Ee will therefore load
their outfit and leave for that city
as soon as possible. He expects
to leave the middle of the week and
take a crew OF ten men with him.
This power plant will have six
large water wheels, 10 feet and four
inches in diameter The dam is
already in, but concrete draughts
ar to be put into the fumes
For this purpose it will be neces-
sary to excavate 10 feet deeper in
lime stone. The new building is
to be of solid brick construction and
foundations of stone and concrete
construction, similar to the south sid
construction in this city only larger.
1t is estimated that it will require
nearly years time to complete
this contract. We are glad to know
that our local firm was successful
in landing this contract They will
take good care Of it and retain their
former excellent reputation in this
line of work

church Friday evening, Those who
did not attend were we'll repaid.
The work Of the quartette was un-
usually fine The violinist was ex-

very liberal with their enchOres and
time and again gracioasly responded
to the hearty applaus with which
their numbers were greeted. 1t

PUT 4 NUMBER
ON YOUR HOUSE

What's the number Of your house?
Can you tell? Can you tell stran-
ger in the city the exact location
Of any home CT any home on any
street so that he will be able to
find it easily? The cost of put
ting numbers on the home would
be small and would be agreat con
yenieEce TO a stranger coming to
the city. There does not seem to
be any system 20 the numbering
The Reporter has been asked to bring
this matter to the public's attention
and to suggest that the council pro
vide for the proper numbering of
the houses on each street in the
city. Using the river as a division
for the east and west and Grand
avenue and Oak street as the di-
viding line between north and south
and then numbering by hundreds in
each block ought to make it easy
to have the work done. T here are
some streets that are now numbered
fairly well, but there are other
streets that the owners of the prop
erty can not tell what the proper
number of their home is There is
a case on record Whereone person
who moved to the city could not
even learn the name of the street he
lived on. Grand Rapids IS a city
and is growing more like a city ev-
cry day and we ought to carry out
the city idea in the proper number
ing of our houses.

lives in Ashland county, saying that
scarcely a day passes but that he
sees at least one bear heading for
the north. During the last two

twenty bears, all heading for the
north country. Here's hoping the
