Ethonia Scquesters
Bolsheuik Delegates
-Four Representatives Are No,c
Lodged in Building in the
Suburb Guarded by Troops

DORPAT, Esthonia, Nov. 16 (By The
Associated Pressl:-There is keen in
terest over the arrival to-day Of the
four Bolshevik representatives headed
by M. Litvinoff. formerly Ambassador
to Great Britain. Commodious and
comfortable quarters have been pre-
pared for them in a modern steam
heated building in street in the
suburbs. The building, which formerly
was used as children's clinic and is
half hidden By trees, viii be guarded
by Esthonian troops.
M. Pip, Esthonian Foreign Minister,
announced to-day the Bolshevik dele
gates will be sequestered and not per-
mitted to see any one in private with
out special authorization. The length
Of M. Litvinoff's sojourn here is not
known. He may proceed in day or
two to Copenhagen to discuss with
Entente representatives an exchange Of
prisoners and other questions The
question of an armistice, it is believed
will be held in abeyance. pending the
outcome of the Copenhagen conference.
1t is difficult to ascertain whether the
conferees Of the Baltic states are max
ing any headway. Since Thursda !
night it has been observed the un-
official delegates have been nervous and
extremely reticent, and indications
multiply that there is basis for their
ears and pessimism.

WILL RESIDE
IN MILWAUKEE,
Earle M. Pease, Vice President of the
First National Bank HonOred by
Better Position.

The people of Grand Rapids and
Wood County, will be sorry to learn
that E. NJ. Pease, Vice President and
managing director of the First Nation
al Bank of Grand Rapids, has been
rendered and accepted the presidency
of the Bankers Joint Stock Land Bank
of Milwaukee and it's auxiliary, the
Wisconsin Mortgage and Securities
Company. The acceptance of this
position will necessitate Mr.. and Mrs.
Pease moving to Milwaukee, where
they will make their future home. In
going from Grand Rapids this COM
munity will miss these two valuable
citizens, as ever since their advent into
Grand Rapids they have been conspicu-
ously identified with the progress Of
many of our public institutions. They
came to Grand Rapids in 1905, and Mr..
Pease accepted the cashiership of the
First National Bank of this city. Since
he assumed this position this banking
institution has made wonderful
progress during this time. He has
been an incessant worker, cordial and
genial with all the customers that have
done business with that banking in
stitution. The many patrons of this
bank will miss him greatly in the fu-
ture.
He and his estimable wife have been
active workers in the First Congrega-
tional Church ever since they came to
Grand Rapids Mr.. Pease has been
identified with the Sabbath School
work as superintendent for many years
He and his wife will be greatly miss
ed in the Congregational Church work
of this city. Mrs. Pease has always
been identified with the Ladies Fedora
tion work where she has always been
very efficient. Here too, she will be
greatly missed. In fact the citizens
: of Grand Rapids are very sorry to see
them go, and only consent to it because
it will be an advancement along the
excellent work that they have both
been doing in this community. In GO
ing they will both take with them the
best wishes of the entire community

CHAMBER Of
commerce

Steps toward the formation of a
Chamber of Commerce in this city
patterned after such organizations in
other places, and designed to take in
any resident of the city who wants
to see the town grow and prosper
were taken at the Elks Club Monday
night.
The meeting was called by the Off
GERS of the Merchants & Manufacture
ers Association, but the new movement
will have no connection with the old
body. The new order wants to help
Grand Rapids and any citizen who has
that viewpoint can belong.
A committee of five, VIM. Gleue,
Jos. Cohen, G. E. Fritzsinger, C. A.
Normington and Charles Kruger were
appointed to meet Tuesday Afternoon
and plan for the calling of mass of
all citizens at the City Hall Monday,
Sept. 20.
Whether this new move will be any
more forceful than the old organiza-
tion will depend largely upon the Off
GERS who are selected to lead.

.OURLOCAL
CEMETERIES

A visit to the Forest Hill and Cal
vary cemeteries in this city will con-
vince the visitor that for the size of
Grand Rapids we have two beautiful
cemeteries we'll kept and cared for.
John Hooten has charge of the Forest
Hill cemetery and John Nimtz has
charge of Calvary cemetery. Both of
these men take pride and pleasure in
doing their work well and keeping up
the entire cemetery. Most of the lot
owners contribute their annual dues
for the proper upkeep of their indi-
vidual lot. Some we are sorry to say
don't even take interest enough to pay
their annual dues for this purpose.
F. J. Wood was the original owner
of Forest Hill cemetery and still owns
the unsold lots. We would like to sug-
gest that the present lot owners incor-
porate themselves into legal corpor-
alton for the purpose of buying the
remaining lots and forming a perma-
nent cemetery corporation. With this
change the corporation would make it
their business to see that the unsold
lots which in some cases lie in the
midst of the sold lots that are we'll
kept up, and in that way look badly
in certain parts of the cemetery. We
believe with this kind of an organiza-
ton that some one might be kind e.
nough in their legacy to contribute
certain amounts for the Improvement
of this cemetery. Why cannot this be
done? Is there any good objection
to making this move?
The two cemeteries spoken of above
during the dry summer season suffer
for the want of water system. This
could probably be supplied under the
corporation system. Another thing
which would be accomplished and
ought to be is the extension of the
concrete macadam from the north end
of Eighth Street in this city east on
Washington Avenue to Eleventh Street
thence to the cemeteries. In this en-
terprise the state and county would
probably do their share thru the trunk
line system. This is a matter that
ought to be accomplished in the near
future
We would like to suggest to some
one who is we'll able to do so to pro-
vide a fund fer a memorial arch and
fence at the entrance of Forest Hill
cemetery. In this connection we would
also suggest that the tool house, that
is now located at the entrance, be
moved to some new location IN the
rear of the cemetery. This little build
/ ing is an eyesore to an otherwise beau
tiful and attractive cemetery. Those
in authority should see that it is NOV

TWO MACHINES
RUNNING At
PORT EDWARDS

We understand from reliable au-
thority that the Nekoosa-E Edwards Pa
per Co. are running two paper ma
chimes and most of the balance of the
mill at Port Edwards. They have al
SO completed the barracks adjoining
the hotel in Port Edwards in which
they are housing all their crew. 1t is
only a matter of a short time now
when the South Side plant and the Ne
koosa paper mill will all be running
full blast as heretofore. The strikers
have failed in their purpose of bring
ing the Company to time IN the grant
ing of their demands. The most of
the strikers have already gone to 9TH
er places for employment. A large
percentage of them went to GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin, where we are informed they
need a large number of men. Other
workmen are taking their places with
the Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co. Have
the strikers won, or lost, in their en-
deavor to make the company come to
their terms? While both sides to this
controversy have lost in time and la
Dor and a great amount of money,
nothing but trouble and enmity has
been accomplished on both sides. Does
it pay to strike? If it We're left to
vote of the people of Grand Rapids,
Port Edwards and Nekoosa we believe
the verdict would be that it does not
pay to strike for the purpose of ac-
complishing unreasonable ends.
