HERE seems to be an excellent pros
pect that the Inter Ocean transportation
Go. will have it's boats hail from this
place and that in such an event thew will
lay up here during the winter. Prelimin.
airy steps to induce them to do SO have
been taken this week. Should this move
merit be successful it will add materially
to the prosperity of the city. Aside from
the advertisement TO the city it is to have
such magnificent boats hail from this
port, the fitting out in the spring is
matter of no small moment. We know
of how much benefit it is to the city to
have the Goodrich boats fitted out here
each spring. The tonnage of the Inter
Ocean boats is much greater. Two of
the captains of this line reside in Manito-
woc,-Captaln Tim Kelley and Captain
Berlin Snitfin. There are other EMPLOYEES
of the line residents of the city. With
the boats located here there are many
9th Of our people who would find per-
manent employment on them.
1t would not be at all amiss at this
time to offer some inducements to the
Goodrich transportation Co. to hail
their boats from this place. True, we
have all the benefits of their lying up
here, but we want the sense ofownership.
We have as good shipyard as there is
on the lake and the most experienced
ship builders. These should attract
business.

SMALL PoX Is quite effectually wiped
ouS now throughout this county. DR..
hemper says that there is hardly a prof.
ability of any further spread of the dis
ease 10 Mishicott or in Mauitowoc Rap
Ids. 1t has been thoroughly checked in
GIb2on. DR.. Currens' vigorous enforce
ment of quarantine IN Two Rivers has re-
suited IN preventing the spread of the
disease in that city.
The physicians have been ably second
ed IN their efforts by the town and city
authorities in every instance. This action
IS IN striking contrast with the assistance
denied the health officer IN Milwaukee,
which has been tn" source of all our woes"
so far as small pox is concerned.
On Saturday there was A report that
small pox ha6 broken out IN the family
OF Mr. Heyroth of this city. His-elster-
ln-law Miss Zander of Mishlcott was visit
ing Mr.. Heyroth and was taken sick with
bad cold. Tue rumor was at once set
alioat that it was small pox. On Sunday
evening Dr. Kemper visited the family
and found that the young lady had so far
recovered from her cold that she was out
visiting.
Unless something unforeseen happens,
small poX is stamped out in this county.
1t has been done effectively and without
ostentatious display.

HERE is noend to the rumors afoat as
to the purpose Of those people who have
taken options on property in this city.
There has been one sale consummated
and of one lot and this has set the whole
town crazy, People are out buying real
estate az if their future depended upon a
purchase of some kind.
It is curious how differently people
look upon this movement which has now
been in progress for two years and has
created the periodical furry which seems
to have its innings just at present. The
Pilot has been Informed that it is IN no
sense a railway movement; that the loca-
ton of the land on which options are
held preciudes any such idea; that civil
engineer has given his opinion to this
effect. PercOntrd. The Pilot has learn
ed that 1t is movement of some railway
company; that from the nature of the
purchases 1t cannot be otherwise: that it
is the Wisconsin Central which is desir.
Gus of having Il terminal here; that it is
the c. d \. w. which is seeking to secure
control of all property available for rail-
way purposes ii the city so as to cut off
all other roads.
AnJther source of information SAYS that
the purchases made are for factory sites
and that the outlying lands will be used
for residences for the employees of these
prospective factories.
And again it is said that these lands
are purchased by spectators who think
MdnitOwoc has future and want to be
let In on the ground floor in case the sfu-
ture' should be not far distant from the
present
To show to what extent the specula-
tive fever has gone it is only necessary to
mention the case Of the |. O, L. Co. which
is anxious to quit Milw aukee because of
| high rates Ct taxation. 1 his line of boats
is controlled by. the Illinois Steel Com
| pany which has rolling mills at South
| Chicago, Last Saturday the directors
met at Milwaukee and had about decided
/ to have their boats hail from an Illinois
/ lake port where reduction of taxes
/ coald be secured. When just about to
| take final action a gentleman from this
city, who was in Milwaukee, learned their
| purpose aud asked why they did not give
| some consideration to Manitowoc. Or
| this suggestion they delayed action un-
! til they could learn what this city could
offer When inquiries were instituted Oh
Monday, notwithstanding 1t was stormy
/ day, it was at once learned that the roll
ing mills at South Chicago were to b.
moved 70 this city
/ Such rumofs hinder the development
ST the city as they set people crazy anC
thus block every enterprise Their,
seems TO be something in the air but /
is quite certain it will remain there if tn
present craze continues. 1t is tie sures
way of defeating what otherwise nigh
come.

Two men IN a small boat with a sal
reached the harbor at this place at II p
~. on Monday. They were fishermen
from Sheboygan, Ellis Nelson and John
Johnson They had left SheboYgan on
Monday morning to lift some nets and
the storm overlook them before their re-
turn. They were driven northward and
when abreast of Centerville abandoned
all hope and simply kept the boat before
the wind. When near Manitowoc they
sighted the harbOr light and succeeded
In getting IN. Ona Of them was frozen to
the seat and bad to be wrenched away
from it by his companion. They were al
most completely exhausted but tied their
boat up and after getting to the street
encountered Frank Seidi who took them
to John Staudt's holel who cared for
them. Neither man had cent with
him. They left for their homes on the
800 o'clock train.
They had been given up for lost in
Sheboygan. The ting Gunderson Bros
went out to look for them but after a
search of three hours returned to She
boygan. Two weeks ago these two men
went out IN the same boat aud were
being tossed about until tug picked
them mp. They left their boat here
One of the men is married and the other
is single.

line fat goose was stolen from John
PITT on Monday evening. The goose was
a particularly fine one and for this rea-
son was rather prominently displayed.
This no doupt enabled the thief to cab
bage the fowl without much difficulty.

about the shop short time before the
bird was missed. Mr.. PITT doesn't care
for the loss of the goose but is willing TO
pay two dollars for information which
will lead to the capture of the thief. The

\ question asked by the Meeme cor
respondent of the Pilot Is 10 doubt one
which occurs to many vhen paying their
taxes this year. The state administra-
Ion has nothing to do with local taxes.
il the usual atate tax was levied this
year tax payers would have much more
reason to kick" than they have now.
The state tax paid this wear is practically
nothing. ANY farmer can satisfy HIM
self of tbs fact by asking the clerk of
ms town what state tax the town paid
in 1898 and how it compares with the
state tax paid IN 1894.
The county tax Is higher than usual
this year for the reason that county
bonds are beng paid. 4 debt contract
ed years ago is being discharged now.
