ON THE HARBOR OF REFUGE.
Mr.. Davidson Writes Surveys May be Made This
Summer and Appropriations at Next Congress.

Congressman J. H. Davidson has
written for The Pilot the following COM
munication in reference to the harbor of
refuge:
To the Ed ton of TIE Plot:
Your letter requesting that / submit
a statement of the matter of the inn
provement of Manitowoc harbor for
publication in your paper received. AS
the matter of the survey is still pending
l hardly think it would be proper for me
to submit any extended statement |
think your people appreciate most thor
oughly the Importance of the continua-
ton of the harbor improvements there.
During the last congress / secured the
passage of a bill for a survey with view
to extending the breakwater In order to
protect the shipping from northeastern
storms. The report on the survey is fa-
vorable and ! hope to succeed in having
an appropriation made for that exten-
sion in the next River and Harbor act
You understand that no general river
and harbor appropriations have been or
will be made at this session, but at the
opening of the next session (the first OF
next December) we will bring in Rive r
and Harbor Appropriation bill covering
lal these items. The proposition now
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1900-06-07

pending is for survey of the harbor
with view to the establishment Of q
harbor of refuge. The proposition rs
have secured its passage through the
house and hope to have it',fnally enact
ed into law is so worded that the sur
vey will be for both an inside and an
outside harbor of refuge and we will
then determine which, if either the
government will undertake TO construct
and which will be the most benefit to
the city of Manitowoc and to the inter
ests of navigation If this survey is or
dered at this session of congress ! hone
to have the work done during the com
ing summer so that report Will be be-
fore us for consideration when we meet
in December. If this report should be
favorable and we should be able to Sc
cure the appropriation for the harbor of
refuge there is no question but what it
will be of very material advantage to
the business interests of your city and
especially to the interests of navigation
which are of SO much importance and
which are so rapidly increasing at that
point.
Very respectfully yours

Supt. Harvey
Investigating
School Districts Not Raising En-.
Ough for Education.
COUNTY TEACHERS POOR SALARIES.
Educational Tax in Some Districts Not More
Than SIS Year.
PREPARING A BILL FOR TiELEGISLATURE

In a quiet way canvass is being made
bv State Superintendent of Public In
struction Harvey in Manitowoc county
as well as in other counties in the state
to learn how much the taxpayers OF
school districts are raising toward pub
lie education. It is said that in some of
the districts not more than $25 year is
needed to meet the expenses incident to
running the little red school house.
1t is understood that these districts
wholly rely on the appropriations which
are derived from the state and county
to meet the bulk of the obligations due
to educating the children. The state
superintendent believes this is wrong.
and that the taxpayers should be in
formed that the school districts are sup
posed to shoulder the greater part of the
expenses which should accrue each
year.
There is some talk that bill will be
drafted, which may be submitted to the
compelling school districts to raise u
sufficient amount of money so that teach
ers will be paid a fair compensation for
teaching nine months. 1t has been in
timated in Madison, that many teachers
III school districts, not alone in the coun-
ty of Manitowoc, but all over the state,
get no higher salary for their services
for the nine months hard work, than
$240. This fact has caused many of
those who are compelled to earn their
bread to give up the teaching vocation
for some more lucrative calling. AS one
teacher put it, I'VE are paid less wages
than family gives the hired girl, yet
we are expected to keep ourselves abreast
of the educational requirements of the
day"
The question of salaries is to be thor
oughly aired.

TEAM SUFFERS DEFEAT.

tOWOC Bows.

Again the Manitowoc team suffered
defeat on Sunday. The Skidmores from
Milwaukee won by score of to 7 in a
rather dull game Until the end Of the
eighth inning, it was thought that the
Milwaukee aggregation would have
slaughtered the Manitowoc players, but
just when humiliating defeat was in
sight the locals took squirt to them
selves and closed the game at least hon
orably, and very nearly snatched vic
tory. The playing of the local team
might have been improved, but the boys
will take warning in the future and do
better.

BREAKWATER DAMAGED.
Calkins' Breakwater Badly Damaged by
the Heavy Sea of Thursday.

The heavy sea which prevailed on
the lake Thursday did great deal OF
damage to the breakwaters along this
CITY. O. M. Ca1kins announced this
morning that his breakwater was badly
damaged during the night. All night
long the heavy waves broke over the
breakwater and today great holes have
been broken in the dock. While the
loss is not estimated as very large, the
breakvater is in bad condition and it
will have to be repaired at once in
order to save it from further ruin. Mr..
Ca1kins estimates the damage to the
breakwater at less than 500.
At other points along the shore the
works were damaged. The new work
at Kemper Hall was in the fury of the
STORM a nd suffered little damage. AS
far as can be learned the government
work suffered no damage.
During the storm many vessels
bound for this city with cargoes for
local firms, were forced to put into
other harbors for shelter. The storm
is supposed to be over and all the boats
that were forced to come into the har-
Dor wind-bound have gone again.

which might help me, noticed in our

the gospel, but one in particular, the
Methodist Episcopal church, is making
especial efforts this year to extend
it's field of usefulness. This church has
on foot a movement to increase it's
membership in the United States by
100000. It is already the most nu-
merous Protestant denomination in the
country. Besides their domestic eff
forts the Methodists maintain abroad
a large and efficient staff Of mission
aries and three bishops, William Tay-
lor and Joseph G. Hartzell, missionary
bishops for Africa, and James M. Tho
burn, missionary bishop for India and
Malaysia.
Bishop Thoburn had much expert
ence as a missionary in India before
his election by the general conference
Of his church in 1883 as missionary
bishop Of that country. He was born
in Ohio, March 7, 1885, and is a grad
uate of Allegheny college. His father
died when he was quite young, and his
college education was due to the exer-
tons of his mother. He was gradual
ed at 21. Two years before that event
he joined the Methodist church, and
two years after graduating, at %, he
was sent to India as a missionary.
Bishop Thoburn breaches in both the
European and the native languages,
and is very successful. He built the
largest church in India, and was for
five years editor of The Indian Wit
ness, a Methodist paper with a large
circulation. He is the author of sever
al books, detailing his missionary ex-
periences. Needless to say, Bishop
Thoburn is an enthusiast in his work.
He has frequently returned to the
United States to make appeals for as
sistance, funds, etc., which have been
granted to him cheerfully. The num-
Der of his converts is very large.
Last spring Bishop Thoburn was in
Manila, where he held the first Metho-

quired nearly six months, Mr.. Lothrop
charged his customer 500, to be paid
when he could spare the money. Capt.
Johnson, with this vessel as capital,
afterward became one of the wealth
lest men in the Northwest and it is
safe to say that the 500 was paid with
manifold interest.
The most peculiar part OF. all the
campaign work of Mr.. Lothrop is that
he never voted the Democratic ticket,
not even when his own name appeared
nnder the symbols of Democracy. He
further states that in all those years
he never spent one cent to secure an
election nor even a nickel for glass
of beer or a cigar, and that he never
asked a man to vote for him.
