Managers of Bristol Telephone Com
pany Would Build Their Line Into
KenOsha by Municipal Aid.
TO CONNECT CITY AND COUNTY.
Managers Propose 20 Build Line to City
Limits if the People of the City will
Build a Central Station.
[From Fridays Daily

c.. D. Holt, of the Bristol Telephone
day for the purpose of outlining the
plans of the company as to building
the lines into Kenosha and to seek the
aid of the city for the completion of
the project. The Bristol company has
decided not to entertain any PROPOSE
tons from the Wisconsin Telephone
company and in the future the two
lines will be known as rival lines.
The managers of the Bristol COM
pany are anxious to get connection
with Kenosha and they have proposed
to Mayor German that they will build
the lines to the city limits if the people
of the city will provide for the con-
struction of the line from the limits to
some central point which can be used
as an exchange. The company is not
in any way planning a union with the
lines of the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany in Kenosha, but they plan to so
arrange central Office that messages
from phones of the rival company
may be transmitted to the outlying
Q1SCI1ClS VI TIC Guilty. AS IAS PAohS
are now formed the county court house
will be made the central Office of the
Bristol company in Kenosha if the
connecting lines are built.
1t is thought that the line can be
built in Kenosha with a minimum of
expense if the managers of the COM
pany can secure permission of the City
Council to use certain poles now owned
by the city for the purpose of stretch
ing the wires. To secure this right a
petition will probably be presented to
the Council at its next regular meet
ing. With this privilege assured the
stringing of wires would be a matter
Of little expense and there are many
people of the city who will be willing
to assist in defraying this expense.

are anxious to have the entire matter

AFTER MILK DEALERS.
DR.. spalding Seizes Impure Milk and
Orders Man Selling It to Desist

DIR. ]. B. Spaulding, the city health
officer, has begun a crusade against
the dairymen of the city who are sell
ing impure milk and already one well
known mi1kman has been forced to
discontinue the sale of impure milk.
Thursday samples of milk were taken
to the health officer by customers and
when they were examined they were
found to be anything but pure.
The milk man was at once sent for
but he claimed that he had no knowl-
edge of the fact that the milk was in
any way below the standard demanded
by the State law. The man was not
placed under arrest but was given an
other chance to proceed with his bust
ness.
Samples from other dealers are now
being secured by the health officer and
it is probable that arrests will be
ordered if the samples fail to come up
to the standard.
Many complaints have been made of
impure and diseased milk being sold
in the city and for this reason the
health officer has decided to make a
complete investigation of the milk sold
by ali dealers.

Hundreds of Cars of Ice Being
Shipped From the County to
Chicago Every Week.
WITHOUT ANY LEAVE OR LICENSE
Companies Have Paid no Attention to
ing Made-Industry is Thrott1ed.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The Chicago Ice companies, work
ing on Kenosha county lakes, are pay
ing little attention to the ice tax law
recently passed by the State Legisla-
ture, and indeed the violation of the
law is so open and defiant that it is al
ready >onsidered dead letter in the
camps of the ice cutters. For a few
days, at she opening of the cutting
season, the managers were a little
watchfu1 of the cars shipped, but when
the first cars passed without contention
the law became a dead one, and now
without leave or license and paying no
attention to test cases or States Attor-
neys the companies are shipping
thousands of tons of ice out of Keno
sha county daily and not a single ar
rest has been made nor a single warn
ing given by the officials. The Knick-
erbocker, Jefferson, Haege1e and Zu-
demeister companies have all taken
the work in hand ard special trains
are now being run nightly to take the
ice from the inland lakes of Kenosha
county to the big houses in Chicago,
Oak Park, Me1rose Park, and in fact
all the smaller cities about Chicago.
The record of hundred cars day has
already been passed and more ice is
being shipped directly from the lakes
than is being stored away in the houses
dotting the shores of the lakes.
From Twin Lakes, Powers Lake,
Salem and Silver Lake the icemen are
sending out their harvest. The cars
are laden to their capacity and the
shipments for each day reach from
three to FIVE thousand tons. If the
tax of ten cents per ton were being
collected Kenosha county would now
be furnishing the State daily rev.
enue of $500 to $500.
But even with this activity the tax
has done much to throttle the industry
in Kenosha county, Where in former
years a thousand men were employed,
only seven hundred now find work.
Where fifteen to twenty houses have
been filled in the past, but half the
number are now being filled.
The ice now being harvested is six
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1902-01-23

teen inch ice and as pure and clear as
was ever cut from the lakes, and yet
houses on all the lakes are being left
closed. The houses at Powers Lake
are working night and day, but on the
other lakes there is no activity. At
Silver Lake the large houses of the
Knickerbocker company ard one of
the Zudemeister company have not
been opened, while the houses of the
Kurz- Haege1e company at Salem are
not being filled.
So it is all along the chain of lakes,
and the ice harvest in Kenosha county
for this season will probably be the
smallest on record since the great
business was opened several years ago.

JUMPED TO ESCAPE ARREST.
William McL1nden of Kenosha, is Terribly
Injured at waukegan.

AS a result of attempting to escape

A NEW FACTORY.
Kenosha Manufacturing Co. Organized by
H.F. Blackman and W. E. Christian.

The Kenosha Manufacturing Com
pany is the latest industry to be es-
tab1ished in Kenosha. The organizers
of the new concern are Hudson F..
Blackman, formerly of the Badger
Brass Works, and Walter E. Christian,
of the same factory. The plant OF the
new company will be located on the
second floor Of the Lippert foundry.
The new company will manufacture
novelties of sheet metal, tools, and
dies. The samples are already made,
and they will place their products on
the market within a few weeks.
The factory is one of the best stocked
in the city, and while the company is
starting out with limited capacity,
the machinery which has been pur-
chased for the plant is of the most
modern kind, and no work will be too
fine or intricate for the company to do.
The work of fitting up the factory
began two weeks ago, and it is now
almost ready for the wheels to start.
The field covered by the new concern
is a new one to Kenosha, but the pro-
duct is one very much IN demand, and
on this account there is every reason
to believe that the venture will prove a
successful one.
Both of the managers are machin-
inists of long experience, and they are
we'll known to the manufacturing
world in the West.
Mr.. Blackman will be Superinten-
dent of the new plant, and have entire
control of the factory. At present
only few men are being employed,
but within a few weeks the force will
be largely increased. Quite large
number of orders have already been
secured for various sheet metal novel
ties, which will keep the factory busy
for many months.
The machinery which is being set
up in the little factory is the finest of
the kind ever brought to Kenosha, and
it is attracting great deal of atten-
ton among the machinists of the city,

NEW PLAN FOR NORTHWESTERN
Passenger Trains May Garry Extra Guard
Against Rear End Collisions.


Owing to the series of disastrous
wrecks that have occurred within the
last few months, the general superin-
tendents of many of the railroads CEN
tering in Chicago are sending special
circular letter to employees in the de-
partments operating passenger and
freight trains. The tenor of the cir
culars is the same, and although the
letters cannot be considered as repri-
mands, they are heart-to-heart talks
which will undoubtedly result in ex-
traordinary precautions being OBJ
served.
In general the circulars call atten-
ton to the wrecks and suggest that in
majority of cases an exercise of or
binary precaution and strict attention
to orders and duty would have averted
the disasters.
It is said that an important innoVa-
ton may go into effect Immediately on
the Chicago & Northwestern, that is,
the addition of a man to the crew of
every passenger train, this man to act
a flagman, his services being devoted
principally to the prevention Of rear
end collisions, keeping w oh of the
track behind and in case of an acct
dent to Immediately guard the train
against other trains which may be
either following or coming toward 1t
from the other direction, the rear end
being his especial care.
