Henry Ebbe Elected Registre.

Ever since election day it has been
generally known that the vote for Reg
lister of Deeds in Wood county was
very close. At every stage of the
count Henry Ebbe lead his competi-
tor, The unofficial result gave Mr..
Ebbe majority of 40 before the sol
der vote was heard from. When the
soldier vote was received that left Mr..
Ebbe's majority only Is. This was af-
ter the official canvassing board had
got thru with their canvass, but on ac-
count Of the small majority, Mr. Hoff-
man and his democratic friends thot
there was a possibility that sufficient
errors might have taken place to
change the result and therefore asked
for a recount. In the recount of the
votes for Register of Deeds in pre-
cincts where there was a close vote
they were recounted and several bal
lots, both for and against the candi-
dates were changed from one candi-
date to the other. At the close of the
recount work the totals were footed
up and it was found that the vote for
each candidate was the same with sew
eral ballots in dispute as to the inten-
ton of the voter who cast them The
two candidates then agreed to have
the janitor throw up a silver dollar
and decide the contest in this manner.
Mr.. Hoffman chose "heads" and Mr..
Ebbe took "tails" and he won. Both
candidates are now satisfied with the
result and Mr. Ebbe is the newly E.
lected Register of Deeds.
Some Republicans have been led to
believe that there was an intention on
the part of the democrats to beat Mr.
Ebbe out of the Office by counting
him out, but we do not believe that
this was at any time intended. It's
perfectly natural when the vote is Sc
close between candidates to investi-
gate and see that every vote was prop
erly cast and counted This is what
we believe to be the case and inten-
ton in the election of Register OF
Deeds.

their support. The present yearly
gross business of the combined organ
izations amounts approximately to
$225,O0O.OO. The latest dredge built
by this concern, is of the caterpillar
type and has proven to be one of the
best dredges on the market.
The manufacturing plant of the
Rood Manufacturing Co., is located
on Fremont street, just opposite of
the well known Grand Rapids Foundry
company adjoining the tracks of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
road and near the Chicago and North
Western R. R., the $500 Line" and the
Green Bay & Western railroads.
Mr.. Rood has made good and is en-
titled to a great deal of credit for the
energy in which he has conducted his
business and has overcome many diff
culties in connection Herewith until
now he sees it large growing indus
try that is not only a credit to himself
but to all those who are members of
the companies and have an interest
in its development. During this time
he has gained the confidence and re-
spect of the business men of Grand
Rapids and vicinity.
Mr. Rood adds one more to the list
of our many substantial and progress
i've business men. Grand Rapids,
(great name, eh?) has plenty of room
in the manufacturing line for men of
the Rood kind, who make things move.

THE RECENT
COLD SNAP
I IA an

An area of high pressure from the
far northwest overspread all sections
from the North Pacific states south
eastward, attended by snow and a
cold wave of exceptional severity for
so early in the winter. Six inches of
snow fell at La Crosse and nine inch
es at Green Bay.
Snow fall was heavy as far south as
Nebraska.
The lowest temperature was at
Sheridan, Wyoming, 26 degrees below
zero. The lowest ever recorded in
November. In Wisconsin the temper
allure ranged from 10 below zero in
the interior to 10 above near Lake
Michigan.
The cold wave continued southeast
ward to the Atlantic coast freezing
south to Georgia and frost reports at
Tampa Florida.
Although the temperature fall was
as great as SO degrees in 20 hours,
IN some localities it warmed up rap
idly in the northwest and the severe
cold was of brief duration in this To-
cality.
During the last half of the week the
weather has been generally fair, with
rising temperature in most sections of
the country; except in the northeast,
where considerable snow has fallen.
