Children OF the Dening School Must
Give Up Pleasures to Provide
Room For Fellow Scholars.
NO ACTION ON LAND PROPOSITION
School Board Fails to See Money to Enlarge
Deming School Grounds.-New
Teacher Employed.

Crowded conditions IN the city
schools will force the little children of
the Deming school to give up their
play rooms in order to secure room for
the education of their fellow scholars.
For some time efforts have been made
to find another building and failing in
this the Board OF Education last night
decided that in the future the children
will play in the halls and corridors
while the play rooms will be fitted up
with desks and turned into school
rooms. The two rooms will be utilized
at once, one of them as third grade
room and the other as sub-primarY
room. This action of the board will
furnish school facilities for seventy
five more children. Miss Rose Ryan,
Kenosha girl who recently graduated
from the Milwaukee Normal and one
of the best known graduates of the
Kenosha High School, was selected by
the teachers committee to have charge
of the new room and the committee
was given power to employ another
teacher for the primary room.
The board took no action in regard
to the purchase of the land for the en-.
largement of the Deming school. T..
d. Bond was present at the meeting of
the board and made proposition to
them but many of the members
thought that the financial condition of
the board would not warrant the out
lay of the money at this time. It is
possible that the proposition will be
held open and taken up by the board
after the new tax levy is made.
No action was taken to provide a
raise for the teachers salaries but the
matter is still in the hands of the
teachers committee and it may be call
ed up later and acted on favorably.
The wave of economy which has
struck the board had at least one good
thing to it and that is that it has
brought the board to see that the relief
maps recently ordered after great op.
position are not needed and the COM
mittee on supplies was authorized to
either cancel the contract or to make
some arrangements with the company
whereby the school board could secure
supplies more badly needed.
The salary of the janitor of the DEM
ing school was raised six dollars a
months. A coal bill amounting to
1923 was ordered paid and after the
usual routine business the board ad-
journed.

STRUCK BY AN AUTO.

an Exciting Experiences

Ted Crawford and VIM. Grosvenor Have
an Exciting Experiences
Ted Crawford and William Grosvenor
two young men employed at the Chi
cago Brass Works had a narrow es-
cape from serious in jury shortly after
six O'Clock last night. They were rid
ing tandem down Prairie Avenue and
when near the intersection of Congress
street they were struck by an auto
driven by Robert Symmonds. Both of
the boys were thrown from the wheel
and both badly injured. Crawford
was terribly bruised and Grosvenor
had one of his limbs so badly bruised
that he was scarcely able to walk this
morning. It is said that the boys do not
blame the driver of the auto as they
we're violating the law by riding the
tandem without the proper lamp. The
auto and the driver escaped unin jured.

Canada's Niagara Park.

The establishment of a great reser-
walton on the Canadian side Of the Nj
agara river is a remarkable instance
Of the creation of such a public do
main practically without cost to the
public. Queen Victoria park, as the
reservation is called, embraces a strip
of land extending the entire length Of
the river from Lake Erie to Lake On
tario, distance of about thirty miles,
and compliments the original reserva-
ton on the American side established
by the state of New York. Doubtless
the work on the American side aroused
public sentiment in the Dominion to
madam banks.
Queen Victoria park was established
by the provincial government of On
tario, and the method by which it was
accomplished, practically without cost
to the public, Is interesting. It ap-
pears that the lands were paid for by
the issue Of debentures secured by the
property and revenues Of the park.
The revenue for improvement and
maintenance and for meeting the inter
est and sinking fund requirements was
then assured by granting certain fran
chises and privileges within the park.
One Of these franchises was for an
electric railway running twelve miles,
enabling tourists to visit every place
| Of interest at a small cost. For this
franchise a revenue Of $4,000 a year
is received. Another franchise for res
taurant privileges, taking visitors I'M
der the falls by elevator and for TAX
ing photographs brings a like sum.
Most important, however, are the
three concessions granted to power
companies to take water from the river
above the falls for the generation Of
electricity. It was a fortunate after
thought that led the commissioners to
add the sites thus utilized to the park
uOlO11lSSs Illus luO greatest CACCLI1CdA
development in the world is to be car
.ried out under requirements that call
for the approval Of every detail by the
COMMISSIONER work especially de-
signed in way to do the least vio-
lence to the environment of the great
cataract all construction on the sur
face artistically harmonized with the
surroundings. For these three fran
chises the present rental Is 100000 a
year, while a royalty on every horse
power to be developed will yield to-
tai revenue when all the works are in
full operation of about $250,O00 annu-
ally. The establishment Of this great
| park on our northern border Is a mat
ter of no small Importance to the peo-
pie of the United States, who Jointly
with the Canadians are interested in
the preservation Of one Of the most
marvellous works of nature.

ALL things considered, venison is
rather an expensive luxury. Not to
mention the wounded, twenty men
we're shot and killed last year in the
north woods during the deer hunting
season. The annual slaughter of the
hunters and the hunted commences
again at midnight Tuesday and for the
next twenty days the papers will de-
vote a considerable part of their space
to reports of accidents in the hunting
field. More hunters are going into the
woods this year than ever before, and
as a natural consequence the grewsome
list of the victims of their own or some
other peoples carelessness may be ex,
pected to be even larger than that OF
last year.

III the farmers of the county want
rural free delivery and judging from
the number of petitions sent in for the
establishment of routes it is safe to
assume that they do, the various towns
have got to do lot of rush work in
the road repair line between now and
the time set for the various routes al.
ready planned to go into operation.
The decision of the district inspector
of the rural routes is final and unless
the roads come up to the standard re-
quired by the government, the routes
will not be opened. There is no time
now for anything but repairs of a
temporary nature but if the roads can
be put in such shape that they will
pass inspection until next summer the
towns can then take up the question of
road building in earnest. There will
be plenty of time this winter to organ
ize good roads associations in every
town and to make thorough study of
the whole problem of road building.

THE city should hire gang of ex-
pert PAYERS to go over all the paved
streets and make necessary repairs
wherever the pavement has been torn
up for any purpose whatever. The
city has not enough paved streets to
keep regular gang of PAYERS en-
ployed all the year around, but the
streets should be gone over carefully
once year And it goes without say
ing that the corporations whose opera
tions are responsible for the bad spots
in the pavements should be invited to
pay for the work of repairing them.

FOss STANDS PAT.
Congressman From Lake County Still
Fighting to Secure the Naval
Training Station.
COOPER OPPOSES COMPROMISE.

The suggestions which Secretary
Moody of the navy may make in re-
gard to the proposed appropriation for
naval training school on the great
lakes will be watched with great care.
1t seems assured that Mr.. Moody will
recommend an appropriation of $780,
coo and that he will not disclose the
purpose of the department with regard
to the expenditure of the money except
that 1t is the intention to esta blish
station somewhere on the southern
shores of Lake Michigan. The mem
bers from that territory are watching
each other carefully.
1t is claimed that Senators Spooner
and Quarles defeated the appropriation
IN the last congress because it was evil
dent that the department had decioed
to locate the station upon an inferior
site near Chicago, presumably IN the
district represented by Mr.. Foss, chair
man of the house naval committee.
The feeling on the subject is best IL
Illustrated by good natnred colloquy
which took place between Representa-
tive Cooper of Racine and Mr.. Foss of
Chicago when they met and greeted
each other for the first time since the
close of the last congress. Hello,
Brother Cooper" said Foss. ''Row
are you and how is the naval station?
I understand you have fine site up in
your district in Wisconsin, eyes
George" said Cooper, "and 1 under
stand you have the station"
The Wisconsin men are united on
any good site in the state, and the Illi-
nois men are behind Foss for MS site
in Illinois.

DOLLS HOUSE BURNS.
Pathetic Little Conflagration Takes Place
ON Tuesday Evening.

Pathetic Little Confiagration Takes Place
on Tuesday Evening.
A pathetic little fire took place Tues
day evening at the new Park Place
hotel when a fire originating from a
candle destroyed the doll house be-
longing to little Eliza beth King, and
at the same time threatened to destroy
the house. The little house had been
set up in the second story of the hotel
and candles had been used to light it
for the evening. While the children
we're playing in the house the candles
were overturned, and in minute the
house was a mass of flames. The
children shouted for help, and little
Ray Bruce and little Miss King, car
ing for nothing but their cherished
treasures, rushed into the burning
house and carried out an arm load of
pretty dolls and tin soldiers. In the
meantime the little children had their
fingers badly burned, but most of
their treasures were saved.
By the time that the children had
affected the rescue of the dolls and SOL
diers their shouts had brought guests
at the hotel to the scene and the fire
was quickly extinguished without call
ing out the city department.

Friends Gather at st. George Church to Pay
a Last Tribute to Memory OF Deceased.
The funeral of the late Charles Orth,
formerly assessor of the city, was held
at eight O'Clock this morning at st.
George church and large number of
friends of the deceased gathered to pay
last tribute of respect to his memory.
The sorrow of the city over the death
of one Of its officials was expressed by
the flag on the city hall remaining at
half mast during the day and Mayor
Pfennig and other officials OF the city
attended the funeral in body. The
floral emblems were numerous and
showed the high regard in which the
assessor had been held by the people
Of the city.
After short service at the church
conducted by the Rev. Father Elskamp
the remains were inferred in the fami-
1y lot in st. George cemetery, a large
cortege following the remains to their
last resting place.

! BUY A CHURCH SITE.
Holy Assumption Lithuanian Church to be
Located ON Grand Avenue.

Located on Grand Avenue.
A deal was closed this morning by
which half block of land at the cor
ner of Grand avenue and Brockett
street was sold to the congregation Of
the new Holy Assumption Lithuanian
Catholic church. The consideration
was 81, 500, of which six hundred dol
lars was paid in cash and the remain
der will be paid before the church is
built.
The property is sufficiently large to
admit of the building of church, a
parsonage and school, and it is the
intention of the members of the new
congregation to start the work on the
church in the early spring. The pur-
chase of the property has been author
lied by Vicar General Schinner of
Milwaukee, and he will give his aid
towards the completion of the work of
building the church.
The new society has already begun
to raise money for the church, and it is
said that the money is being freely
given. The officers of the new con-
gregation are Vice President Father
G. Ambrozatis, Treasurer Vincent
Venckerycze, and Secretary Vincent
Dapskerycze.
The membership of the congregation
is about forty families, and at the
present time the Lithunians are wor-
shipping at the Polish Catholic church.
Father Ambrozatis is to be the priest
in charge of the churcn.here.
The demand for new Catholic
church for the use of the Lithunians is
said to be very urgent, and for this
reason the head officials of the diocese
are giving every possible aid to the
little congregation.

hardly to be expected that they will dc
so to protect other people and unless
the police take hand and enforce the

ride without lights until some accident
occurs. Then the police will be blam
