The California Theater,

That finished melodrama, "The War of
Wealth." entered upon its second week at the
California Theater last night. Tie perform
ance is one that deserves crowded house every
night, for the language is good, the performers
letter perfect and the incidents. while start
ling, are not exaggerated. 1t is a play that has
much merit in it, and those who assume the
principal characters portray them WELL The
audience that witnessed the performance on
Sunday night was one OF the largest that have
been seen in this theater for many years
The ''War of Wealth" will be followed next
Monday night by Hermann, the world-re-
nowned magician, who during his engagement
will present many novelties in the line OF mys-
terry. Among. these will be "Trilby," "The

Importance of 1t to This Section

Familiarity with the beautiful
stretches of country between Chicago
and Milwaukee has made our local
residents almost oblivious to the varied
attractiveness, the quiet seclusion of
the landscape and the restful, rhythmic
roll Of the waters Of old Lake
Michigan. But these things have not
been lost on the tourist who trots over
the globe seeking just such places of
comfort and pleasure. He has visited
our section and extolled its merits, and
then our local people have been abroad
to seek better scenes only to return to
their first love. These things have be-
gun to wake us to the immense posi-
biIities of the section until we are get

ting ready for the project set afoot
about year ago to build a beautiful
driveway between these two cities SO
that these things may not only be
better enjoyed by ourselves but will
render them more accessible to the
great outside world which has money
to spend in viewing them.
The Sheridan road is to built. Prom
inent men of two states have set to
work to bring it about, and the resi-
dents of the entire Kenosha county are
to be congratulated upon their efforts
in our behalf.
Years ago when j. V Quarles was
still a resident here such q driveway
was one of his dreams. Several times
he wrote and spoke Of the beauties OF
the route and urged the Importance OF
| improving it at least between Kenosha
and Racine.
@. M. Petit is an enthusiastic ad-
vocate of the big improvement. He
has been giving active assistance to the
project every time an opportunity OF

ticed the almost constant use of the
stretch ofroad between these two cities
which it is proposed to make a part OF
the big driveway. AS it is now it is
lust as God left it and the hand OF
man has been raised very little to i'm
prove it in the least
Interest in the Sheridan road is
rapidly crystalizing in the Wisconsin,
Good Roads league. One of its mair
objects is the establishment of it. This
organization is the center about which
the project is growing. The success

uous park system and the construction
of the Sheridan road under the charge
of park commissioners is impracticabe.
The building to be done will have to
be done upon a plan suited to country
road building and the town and county
machinery will have to depended on.
Town road building in this connection
would not be a success, for while the
different townships through which the
Sheridan road is laid out, are deeply
interested in the project of it's improve
ment, they would be unable to stand
the expense alone. Besides the cities
to be connected, and the counties as q
whole, have a direct interest in the
matter, of sufficient magnitude to make
it right that they should stand good
ly share OF the expense. There is a
law upon the Wisconsin statute books
providing for the adoption of roads by
the county board, as county roads,
and for their improvement at county
expense, which would seem to afford

ways i'll sight of the water. Most OF
this is an old road, and q considerable
portion of it is i'm fair condition All
that remains to be done is the improve
ment Of the road already in existence,
and this is entirely feasible.
The part of the road as now existing
which Is most capable OF early I'M
provelnents, lies between Kenosha and
Racine. This paEt of the road lies
nearer the lake than any other portion,
the beautiful blue waters being i'll sight
for the entiro distance of ten miles.
This section of road is perfectly level,
too, making grading unnecessary.
The road would be- good as it is but
for the sand, which makes teaHalng
slow. On the other hand, this very
sand makes ar. excellent foundation for
improvements, if properly treated in

will not suffer froEn heavy rain or from

mense opportunities open TO him can
not fail to tickle his purse and open it
to almost limitless possibilities of in
vestment. In great measure this is the
one thing to which we must look most
for full development of this section.
Above everything else this portion of
the northwest, between Chicago and
Milwaukee, is adopted to manufacture.
The means of securing interest in the
section lies to q much larger extent
than many of us realize in the Sheridan
drive.
The magnificent highway has already
been completed for distance of TWEEN
ty-five miles in Illinois. It has been
laid out and surveyed from Chicago to
Fort Sheridan, and the greater portion
of this distance has been graded and
macadamized. The road for it's entire
length lies along the skirts of Lake
Michigan, being q northward extension
of Chicago's lake shore boulevard, run
ming through Edgwater, Rogers Park,
Evans on, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glen
coe, Ravina, Highland Park, through
Fort Sheridan to Lake Forest.
The conditions in Wisconsin are not
such that operations may be carried on
under park and driveway law as they
may in Illinois. The rural districts be-
tween the different districts in Wiscon-
sin are too considerable in extent to
make it possible to establish contin-

cine or Kenosna and by residents of
towns who drive down along the shore
OH a Sunday afternoon.
Everybody naturally sees the advan-
tages Of good roads, and everyone in
Kenosha sees the special advantage Of
having the Sheridan road go through
the city. Kenosha has always aimed
to be thought residence towa, and it
has sought to attract people from Chi
cago who might be induced to build
homes and live here, going in to bust
ness and coming out in the afternoons.
The Sheridan road would improve the
adjoining property and would be a good
thorougnfare. The expense will be
great, but the benefits greater.

THE UNIVERSITIES NEEDS

Legislative .lbsr .nty Urged.
LAWRENCE, Kan. Jan. e.-The ninth
biennial report OF the state university
regents points out that in two years
the faculty has been increased from 40
to 50, and in four years the attendance
has risen from 474 to $685. The report
declares that the department Of
geology Of the university Is thoroughly
competent to carry out the geological
work necessary for irrigation and adj
vocates legislation to permit the pro-
fessors to do this work.
The report concludes by summarize
Ing the university needs as follows;
1.-THE university is hard pressed for lack
Of funds for carrying on the work in
every department, and from lack OF at
least six new buildings, all on account
Of the rapid increase in the number OF
attendants. To provide for the cur
rent expenses two methods are avail
able: Either by increasing the pres
ent SIS, 900 per annum to Sl0D.0Oo, which
would make a comfortable provision
for about five years, or by nm annual
tax on the grand assessment rolf the
state sufficient to supply not only the
present requirements, but also the fu-
ture requirements, as the product from
such q tax would increase with the in
crease OF the valuation of the state.
The buildings needed by the university
now are chemistry building, cngi-
neering shops, museum for Prof. L.
l. Dyche's collections, gymnasium,
astronomical observatory, fine arts
building and woman's building"
