Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1904 — From the Raiders of the Upper Makemself. [ARTICLE]

From the Raiders of the Upper Makemself.

A writer who forgot the necessary rule of all newswapers, to know the names of contributors before publishing their writings, sends an article in reference to that part of our city council meeting report which deals with the Makemself question. The writer of the anonymous letter, says the “raiders” of the upper Makemself, disagree with our report, in being classed as aggrieved parties. He says they are not aggrieved, because they expected nothing from a sewer constructed in that way, and having got what they expected, what have they to ba aggrieved about? What, forsooth!

The writer also says the “raiders” appreciate the council’s unanimous vote to take out the dams across the beautiful Maketnself, which, in its pristine loveliness, was the pride of their hearts. Regarding the “unfilled” parts of Makemself, the “raiders” wish it known that it is filled, and with placid and pellucid waters, from 12 to 600 feet wide, so that those whose crafts are small, should be careful how they navigate its broad expanse for fear of another charge from the “raiders” guns.
