Jefferson Company, Of Chicago, Begin
the Erection of a Record Breaker
at Benedicts Lake.
COVERS SEVERAL ACRES OF LAND
Big House will Have Seven Rooms .
2OOx36 Feet in Size.-Plan to Make a
Fight Against theIIce TaxsLaw.

1t is evident that the Chicago ice
companies have not given up the idea
| that the Wisconsin law taxing ice is
unconstitutional, for today report is
brought in from the town of Wheat
land that the Jefferson Ice company,
of Chicago, has started work on a n ew
ice house on Benedict's lake which
will be the largest house of the kind
ever built in this county if not in the
state of Wisconsin. The house will
occupy several acres of ground and
will have capacity for thousands of
tons of ice.
The house is being built in the shape
of rooms and there will be seven rooms,
each rooms being 200 feet long and
tEirty-six fleet in width. This house
will be almost twice as large as any
house in the vicinity. The workmen
on the house have been ordered to have
it ready for the use of the company
the opening of the cutting season and
it is proba BILE that the house will be
com p1eted by the first of the new year.
The new house will be fitted with all
the latest machinery Tor the handling
of the ice and this is nearly all on the
ground and ready to be set up as soon
as the carpenters and builders have
finished the work of building the walls
and roofs.
1t is possible that this house is not
being built by the Jefferson company
to store ice for Chicago use as it has
been stated that the company is plan
ming to invade Wisconsin with the
view of stealing the business of the
Knickerbocker company in the cities
of the southern part of the State. The
agent of the company, who was in the
city this afternoon, stated that he did
not know for what purpose the house
was being built, but that the company
would probably take a hand in the
Wisconsin trade with the opening of a
new season.
The other houses about the lakes are
being opened and placed in condition
for the winter harvest, but as yet there
has been no weather which would per.
nit the cutting of ice.

WITH the coming of the holiday
season all the merchants of the city
report gratifying increase of trade.
Kenosha has enjoyed an unusually
reason why the sales of holiday goods
should not surpass all previous rec
ords. The demand for labor has been
greater than the supply for many
months and plenty of work at good
wages has been waiting for any one
who chose to apply for it.
If it were possible to do away with
one Furnishing business in Kenosha,
however, it would result in much ma
teria1 benefit to the city. There are
about ten times as many cormutation
purchased by the people of city twice
it's size. Whenever cheaper rate is
given to any other city everybody
Joins in the demand that as good a
one be given to Kenosha, prin-
cipa11y because they object to being
Disseminated against or to having
anyone else enjoy advantages so called
which are not given to them. But if
every reduction granted by the rail
way company in the past ten years had
been made in freight rates instead of
passenger Kenosha would have had
a boom such as has not been exper-
fenced in the history of the city. That
eminent statesman, Ne1s P. Haugen,
gave as one reason for the enormous
increase in the assessment valuation
of Kenosha county as fixed by the
State Board of Tax Commission that
the proximity of Chicago gave an
added value to the lands. AS far as
the city is concerned it is the opinion
of the merchants at least that it is a
positive detaiument. Too much
money goes there that ought to
stay in Kenosha. Too many peo-
pie attend the ''narked down" sales
of the Chicago department stores
and purchase inferior goods at nearly
II not quite as nigh prices as charged
by the home merchant. When the ex-
penses of the trip, even at the low
rates charged by the railway are taken
into consideration, the prices paid are
far beyond those of the home mer-
chant. The merchants of Kenosha in
every line of business carry as large
and : well selected stocks of goods as
hose + any city in the country, bar

THE saving to the State by having
business men as Wisconsin Commits
sioners to the Pan-American Exposi-
tioh instead of politicians amounts to
about $4,000. When but $4,000 was
appropriated by the Legislature for
the State exhibit, it was freely pre-
dicted that either the State would be
poorly represented at the Exposition
or that an additional appropriation
would be necessary. That the exhibit
of Wisconsin was excellent is shown
by the fact that twenty-three medals
were awarded for Wisconsin products
and that the State took first honOrs for
the general display of fruit. The
Commissioners are being congratulate
ed on all sides for the excellent show
ing made by the State. That the
finances were handled in an econOmi-
cal, honest and business like manner
is shown by the fact that the COmn1is-
sion has $4,000 left out of what was
considered an extremely meagre al
1owance for the work to be done, to
turn back into the treasury of the
State.

NEW TREASURER ELECTED.
John Dowse is Elected Treasurer of Pleas.
ant Prairie in Place Of Thomas Yates

ant Prairie In Place CT Thomas Yates
Thomas A. Yates, for several years
town Treasurer of the town of Pleas
ant Prairie has retired from the po-
sition, and Wednesday two of the
members of the town Board received a
letter from Mr. Yates presenting his
resignation to the Board. John Dowse
a we'll known young man of the town,
has been selected by the board to fill
the vacancy, and he has already fur
nished bond for the proper perform
ance of his duties and assumed the of
fee today.
The sudden resignation of Mr..
Yates as treasurer of the town has
caused considera bic talk in the village.
He left Pleasant Prairie some three
months ago and left his family behind
him. According to the letter which
was received the former treasurer has
managed to secure a good position in
South Dakota and has no idea of re-
turning to Pleasant Prairie. The
books of the town are in perfect con
dition and Mr.. Yates is turning over
as fine set of accounts as the town
ever had. Just the reason for the
queer action of Mr.. Yates in 1eavin 6
has not been solved, but it is said that
some private troubles led him to seek
a new home in the northwest.
The new treasu er has been a resi-
dent of the town all his life and is well
known and universally respected.

Inconvenient Chinese Ferries.

The Chinese village ferry illustrates
the curious inconvenience of Chinese
methods. The loaded cart to be brought
across the river is very heavy, and
may be drawn by several different ami
mails, horses, mules, cows or donkeys
hitched by ropes to the axle Access
to the ferry is obtained by going down
steep, narrow track to the waters
edge, and then going on board over
narrow, crooked gangplanks.
The animals have to be unhitched
and each one gotten on board sepa-
rately. Some will give a mighty
bound and land somewhere on the
boat to the great danger of those al
ready on board. Others refuse to
bulge, and it will take IL men, push
ing it with a pole behind, and six
more pulling it with a rope in front
to get the poor beast on board.
The ferry has no guards, and some
times in crossing animals plunge over
the edge and are carried away by the
current. At the opposite bank the tu-
multuous scene is repeated in reverse
order.-The Church Eclectic.

The chair is five feet three inches in

surface, polished by the wear of ages
into the blackness and brilliance of
ebony. On the arched top. below a
