AMONG FARMERS.

The County Board of Marinette coun.
ty appropriated $1,000 for good roads AT
its session last week. This makes $40
600 appropriated by that county for this
purpose during the last five years.
Tim Keehan of Maple Grove was a
caller at The Pilot Office on Saturday.
Mr. Keehan says that the farmers of his
section rarely sell their produce in Mani.
towoc, bringing in load occasionally
only when they want to make heavy
purchases.
Manitowoc county will have number
of farmers Institutes this winter. One is
to be held at School Hill, January II and
IL, one at Mishicott, January 8 and 10
and one at Cleveland January IL and II,
The arrangement by which the institute
at Cleveland and School Hill are held on
the same dates is quite faulty as the
places are not more than 10 miles apart.

MARINE NEWS.

Twenty one vessels arrived at Milwau
kee on Saturday, most of them bringing
coal.
The Steamer Chicago is running
later than usual this year. A large
quantity of freight to move is the ex
PLANTATION,
The steamer Conestoga which sank al
the entrance of the Chicago harbor has
been raised. The loss ON the cargo is
estimated at $4,000.
The year 1899 has proved one of the
most prosperous to vesselmen in what
may be regarded as modern times IN
marine matters. From present appear
ances, lake business will be also good
next year.
Perhaps never again will so many sail
vessels be in Manitowoc harbor at one
time as there were last week when a
storm was threatened. A majority OF
them had lumber. Sail vessels are in
demand this year ON account of the un'
usual quantity of freight and their own
ers are making money. Such a demand
in the future will not call out so many
vessels of this kind as they are going
out of existence.

WHAT MANITOwOCLOsT

Mr. Canon of the government service
was in the city on Monday on his way to
Michigan He says the government will
build two scows at Kewaunee this win
ter and 30 men will be employed. About
so, 900 will he expended there this win
ter Kewaunee is now the headquarters
Of the government service on harbor
matters. The War Department has an
office and warehouse there and is con-
stantly adding to its possessions and in
crease in local work. The survey made
there is for the purpose of making it a
harbor of refuge There is no doubt that
this scheme will carry AMI it should,
either at Kewaunee or some other point
north of Milwaukee. The location Of a
government office at this place means a
great deal for Kewaunee but less than it
would for Manitowoc.
At the time this matter was under con
sideration and place for government
headquarters was under consideration,
Frank Canright urged The Pilot to advo-
cate granting street stub on the river to
the government for this purpose. Itdid so
week after week but nothing came of it..
There was no petition circulated and
Kewaunee made the necessary appropri-
alton and it is reaping the benefit, as it
should, for its prompt action. At that
time only three places were considered
Manltowoc, Sheboygan and Kewaunee-
and the least prominent won because it
was the only one active. The city re-
Gently made an additional grant of land
and the warehouse is to be enlarged and
other improvements made.

SURROUNDING COUNTRY

This does not include service during

Three small boys sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Kennedy of Menominee, have been
missing since Sunday morning and the
belief is that all three are drowned.
The merry work of installing men for
deer goes right ON agreeably to prece-
dents established. A Marinette young
man named William Kellerman, was
shot and fatally wounded. He was mis-
taken for deer.
Lennie Steinke, a little girl three years
old, was shot and killed on Saturday
last by boy IA years old who was shoot
ing sparrows, and was bound 10 shoot
regardless of what came in the way.
The child's body was torn beyond recog-
milton.
Eva Bradshaw of Green Bay, a 15-year
old, girl has confessed to having started
five fires in the home of her uncle J. N.
Crone, with the purpose of destroying
the house. She was angry because her
uncle did not take her with him to
California.
One hears of Fond du Lac now as fire.

The village marshal at Fairchild, this

THE COUNTY BOARD.

The County Board thus far is interest.
ed solely in routine business. The Com
mittee on Finance has introduced a new
feature in its examination and that is
comparing the orders drawn with the
bills filed This imposes considerable
extra work and it is quite possible the
committee will not be able to do the
work it has assumed, but it is the only
proper way to insure an absolutely cor
rect report There should be some sys
tenn devised whereby the offices of coun
ty clerk and county treasurer would eacl
be complement Of the other in thu
transaction of business and thus facili
tate the work of the committee.

COUNCIL NOTES.

The applicati IN for gas franchise was
killed by the city council, the only thing
the council could DO consistent with its
duty in view of the petition. The peti-
ton was also killed, procedure also de-
serving commendation. The committee
reported an ordinance without applica-
ton embodying what it was thought
ought to be acceptable 70 the people and
to those to whom the franchise might be
ganted, if a franchise is granted at all.
Mayor Rahr made the following ap-
pointments as trustees of the library: L.
J. Nash, Ed Schuette, Norman Tori
son, DIR. John Meany, DR.. Fraser, F. G..
Canright, John Maggie and Mrs ]. S
Anderson and Mrs Max Rahr. In max
ing the appointments the mayor had in
mind those who We're instrumental in
securing funds to establish the library
and also had in mind the appointment
of people who would give attention to
the matter as if it were personal.
The council decided not toincrease the
police force, but the beats of the night
men will be heightened and two of the
present force will be stationed at the Of
flee SO as to respond to any calls which
may be made. The fire department will
be made complement If the police force
Chief Dueno is to devote his whole time
to the service and will also have police
powers. An additional man for the fire
department will also be employed and he
will likewise serve as policeman. The
scheme was worked by Alderman Blesch.

EDUCATIONAL.

There is hardly a local paper in the
state in which the announcement is not
found that there is more school room
needed. Manitowoc discovered this early
and made prompt provision sor the short
age.
The county board will not be asked at
this session to provide for Il training
school for county teachers, because ac-
ton has been anticipated and there is no
appropriation available. But Mantle
woo county must soon come to the front
in the matter.
At the meeting of the State Teachers
Association to be held in Milwaukee, one
of the topics to be discussed is the trans
portation of pupils of rural schools at
public expense. Many educators believe
better attendance can be secured if pu-
pills are taken to and from school 1t
may aid but it does not touch the root Of
the evil.
1t is certain that something must be
done to increase interest in rural schools.
Supt, Christensen says that last week he
visited one school in which there were
only five pupils. This of course is an ex-
treme and rare case But there are a
number of schools whose average atten-
dance does not justify the continuance OF
school district A teacher, one of the
most promising in the county, informs
4 The Pilot that he made careful test OF
the pupils in his school to learn how
many of them We're unable tospeak Eng
lish. He found that so per cent are un
able to do 50. This school is located ini
good farming community, and the teach
er is enterprising, intelligent and ambi
tious The rural school problem is i
knotty one.

THE census to be taken next year will
be a most thorough one and will require
an army for its completion. 1t will re-
quire 80, 900 enumerators, $500 clerks

of the work usually takes five years,
though many think the work is done
when the enumeration is made. Taking
