THE report of Register Of Deeds Mill
er to the County Board shows that peo-
pie are dying more rapidly III Mantle
woe than they are coming into being
The number of deaths for the year in
the county is $40 the number of births
| only 5l0,-a net loss of TO- That would
mean depopulatIon if it was not for the
banner of hope flung out by the number
of marriages For the year there were
245 marriages solemnized in the county.
That number should not only prove eff
fective in restoring equilibrium, but
should give births such an impetus that
old Death will be left in the rear.
THE report Of the chief of engineers
which is now III the hands of the River
and Harbor Committee recommends an
appropriation of 50, 800 for the Mantle
woe harbor This is for repairs and not
for new work. A recommendation of
$40, 800 is made for the Two Rivers har-
Dor. The chief says the harbor at Two
Rivers is not worthy of the proposed en-
larged project and that the existing pro-
iect at Port Washington is not necessary.
An appropriation of 81, 700 for kewaunee
is recommended, and for Ahnapee Sl9,-
266, and to complete work in Sheboygan
S52, 600.
THE election of J. d. Schultz as com
mander of the Horace M. Walker Post OF
the C. A. r. of this city was Il proper rec
ognition of a modest man who has done
the country valuable service. His service
is not limited in this respect to his record
as a soldier, butincludes his influence us
citizen. OF foreign birth, he is an
American more pronounced than most
of the descendants Of those who came on
the Mayfower His loyalty has steadi-
ness in it and intelligence and he feels
| that man no matter what his station
is to be valued only for his industry,
character aud selfreliance.
THE Algoma Record stands Loyalty by
Kewaunee in the harbor of refuge mat
ter ;tnd says that city has businessmen
who will push an advantage when they
have it" To all which The Pilot as
sents. Kewaunee is no mean opponent
even if it is not large. Its businessmen
are large Of heart and full of courage
and resource But were going to beat
them if we can. and we can if we are
ONLY united. We want harbor of re-
| fuge and have been looking for it for
years We did not become active in eff
forts to secure it until prospects darken-
ed. 1t is not opposition to kewaunee;
it is simply movement in our own be-
half
THERE is a movement to have the St
Francis Hospital at this place declared
marine hospital 1t is step which
should be taken There is need Of an in
stitution of that kind III the city because
of the prominence of Manitowoc in ma
rine matters When the Hospital was
first started j. was thought by city peo-
ple that the county should do something
towards aiding it The county declined
and businessmen in the city had 10 con
tribute more than they should if bene-
fits We're considered relatively. The peo,
pie of the county have thus far made fan
more use of the Hospital than have the
city people though contributing nothing
TO its establishment Sailors will like
wise use the Hospital considerably.
