Operations will be pushed until the | pulp and paper mill is completed, which will be next summer. Our public spirited citizens who have en- wineered the deal ‘throug! so success- fully are deserving of every credit. The village council bas left nothing undone that was calculated to bring here the institution that is now assured us. They haye been conser- | vative and yet progressive. In the} years to come, when Grand Rapids is one of theleading manufacturing cen: | ters of thisgreat northern country, the | names of President. George Riddell, ley «nd Recorder King should be written. in letters of gold’ upon the village prosperity rocord. The | same is true of the members of the ! Grand Rapids Water Poy and Boom company. ‘The congre al chactment empowering the construc- tion of the dam and its maintenance | could not: bé legally granted to the | village “A private company was re quired to be formed and so it w that anumber of Grand Rapids .citi- banded. themselves “together for the purpose of laying the founda- tion that will make such a town as the original founders dreamed of. The business meu who,assumed- this great responsibility had no motive except to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number. ‘To each member the undertaking has been a pérsonal sacrifice of both time | and money. In this commendable enterprise the whole community has | beena ‘unit. The village council‘has already expended about six thousand dollars and it is the duty of the eleet- ors to sanction their action on the ic doubly Jegalized and the condemna- tion proceedings and other acts done by the council will be secure from the possibility, of future complica- tions. The action thus offered tobe taken is a just meas and if it is rightly understood it will ‘be unani- mously earried atthe polls. Lhbere. should be no confusion as to the real facts and purpos The’ $6000. to be: | appropriated by vote of the people is | money already contracted by» the rcounéil in) the matter of securing’ tthe pulp and paper miil, Itis not an act toissue bonds or to contract any, additional debts beyond those already passed upon by the council. ‘The ob- | ject is to endorse the past act the council by. the direct voice of the people and to-evade the possibility of | future legal entanglements as to the title of property that. kas been traas- ferred througir condemnation and ether proceedings. | Every’ citizen is equally interested.

Harry. Williams and Ed. Johnson were sworn ia as deputies by* eriff and went after him. - Pai- id his wife were ready, to rez ceive the deputies with shot guns and revolvers. ae accused put up such strong resistance that Messrs. Wil- liams and Johnson finally abandoned their mission and returned to. town empty handed. It would have been necessary for the officers to use viol- ence.on the persons of both Palmer and his wife in order to make~ the arrest... Yesterday Marshal MeCor- mick and Ted O'Reilly were sent out tomake the arrest. They, too, had iderable trouble, being. met with and shot- guns by Palmer, his wife and brother. ‘They used strategy, however, and brought» in their pri- soner.
