In addition to the above there is a
manufacturing concern the proprietor of
which does not wish his name mentioned,
which employs % persons, pays out
$4,000 annually in wages, and whose
product is valued at $4,000 No report
is here given for the Pea Canning factory
/ which for three months in the year en-
ploys a large number of persons and
| whose outlay for labor and crude farm
! products is considerable. The Goodrich
I transportation Co. pays out in wages for
work done here, annually, about S24, 00p.
/ For work and material Independent of
/ building new boats the sum of 100000
annually is expended. The Milwaukee
Lake Shore & Western pays annually at
this point for men employed here and
who live here, SS4,0 200. The Columbus
& Hooking Coal & Iron Co. pays for
handling coal at this point $4,000 per
year. The f. C p. NJ. pays for Office and
dock labor annually $4,000 The Water
works Co. employs ID men who receive
through the year $1,000. The Electric
Light Go. pays out for wages S2,445 per
year. The aggregate wages paid by these
industries which are semi manufacturing
in their character, swells the wages paid
annually by manufacturing concerns in
this city to the sum of S513,0O0 or over
half million.
A little inquiry now as to what the re-
suit of united action has been within the
last few years: The coal docks are re-
cent addition to the industries of the city.
1t took united action on the part of a few
business men to get them located here.
The Manitowoc Manufacturing Co. is a
newcomer. 1t had its inception at meet
ing of the Business Mems Association.
The extension of the Mil L. S. & W. Ry
to the lake front was movement aided
by the Business Mems Association. The
direct benefits of this to shippers cannot
be Overestimated. 1t has doubled the
pay roll of the Mil. l.. S. & w. at this
point. Through it the f. & p NJ. pays
out $4,000 yearly in wages, and supplies
purchased here for its boats amount to
about $4,000 per year. Without it the
Pea Canning factory would not be in OPP
GRAFTON and this institution furnishes en-
ployment to large number of people
who otherwise would be non-earners.
Without it, the Steam Boiler Works
would not be located here and $4,000 in
wages yearly would be lost to the city
Will any one say that the city as
whole he's not been benefited by these
new industries? or that it is unwise to
keep up the organization and agitate for |
further improvements? The city has
grown within the last few years but the |
burden has pressed on but few shoulders, |
while the benefits have extended to ALL |
All should now join and work harmo- |
nlously for further advancement.

Mrs. E. l.. ABBOTT, sister OF P. Z. Smith
of this city died at Benton Harbor, Mich.
on Monday morning aged 70. Mrs. Alb
bolt came to Manitowoc in 1897 and was
married to E. l.. Abbott the follow
ing year. This was the first marriage of
white people solemnized within the
boundaries of the county. TIE ceremony
was performed in the building lately torn
down by A. B. Melendy to make room
for his present residence. Benjamin
Jones was then Justice of the peace and
it was he who united the couple in mar
rage E. L. Abbott was one of the first
gang of men who made Manitowoc their
home, having come here in 1886. His
wife came with the family of Ben Jones
and was one of the first white women to
settle in Manitowoc. There are but few
of these old settlers now left and year by
year the number is reduced.

MANITOWOC AND IT'S RESOURCES.

The city of Manitowoc has to-day a
population of 5000. The census of 1895
should show population of 1900, and
| 1t will if the people of the city will act in
unsion In furthering the city's interest.
Aside from the advantages the city pos
sesses in geographical location and IA
| cIlltles for transportation by water, 1t has
that of having tributary to it large
agricultural section whose product is
| diversified and rich in yield In most
counties the country trade is divided up
among several cities all being on par.
In Manltowoc county the county seat
has no rival and trade, besides, is drawn
from portions of adjoining counties.
The purely country trade OF itself is suf-
ficient to maintain city of 5000 inhabi-
tants. The growth beyond this is de-
pendent upon the enterprise of the peo-
pie of the city of Manitowoc. Within
the last few years the city has been forg-
ing ahead quite rapidly but the impetus
has come from within the city. Let any
one compare the condition of affairs at
present on line from the coal docks to
the foot of Quay street on the lake shore,
with the comparative quletude of five
years ago and he cannot help realizing
the Importance of the change. From
last few weeks 1t is found that along this
line there is now paid out for labor over
one-quarter of million dollars annually
more than there was about five years ago.
That is, the increase in business in five
years on one street, extending through
the city from east to to west, has added
in wages to labor, cent of which is
spent here over S250,00O. This being
wages is only fraction of what is actual
ly expended. Estimating that the aver
age amount necessary to support family
each year is $500, and that the average
family consists of five persons and we
find that the increasd wages paid labor
$500 people and thus justifes an in
crease in the population of the city to
that number. There is not a business
man, tradesman or professional man in
the city who does not derive benefit from
this increase.
Our future growth depends upon the
establishment of factories here. Long
ago we reached the limit possible from
dependence upon the agricultural inter-
ests of the county. This may be looked
upon as constant and continuous factor
with limitations sharply imposed. 1t
cannot be increased; it very likely will
not suffer diminution. If we look to the
future for growth it must come through
manufacturing and increased facilities
for shipments.
The Pilot has spent some time in
gathering statistics of the different man
ufacturing industries located at this
place. Inquiry was limited to the number
of men employed, wages paid, and value
of total annual output. The figures are
not an estimate as in most cases they are
taken from the books of the concern in
! terviewed The showing is an excellent
one for a city which has only within the
last few years made any pretensions in
the line of manufacturing and was con-
tent with supplying the needs of the
| farming community:

the world greater service if he had only
told the women CT the present how they
could improve the health and enhance
their charms.-This he might easily have
done by recommending the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Health

Vulnerable ills to which women are pc
culiarly subject, its worst enemies. Long
experience has proven that the health of
womankind and the "Favorite Perscrip-

able. 1t is the only medicine for women
sold by druggists, under positire guar
dntee from the manufacturers, that it
will give satisfaction in every case, or
money will be refunded. This guarantee
has been printed on the bottle-wrapper,
and faithfully carried out for many years.
