From the number of cases that are
being filed in the circuit court it is
evident that the comings March term
will be pretty busy one. At the last
term of the court not single case was
recorded for trial but thescoming term
will make up for the lost time.

Transportation company is seeking to
purchase another steamer to place on

Yachting circles in Kenosha lost
their strongest supporter in the death
of ]. H. Kimball, and it will be many
years before so enthusiastic sailor

The Postoffice department at Wash
ington is endeavoring to make ar
engagements with the Canadian gov
eminent by which special delivery let
tiers sent from the states can be deliv-
cred in Canada by special messenger.
AT present the Canadian postoffices al
low special delivery letters to lie in the
boxes until they are called for. It is
believed that the arrangements will
provide for Canadian special delivery
stamps being given special delivery in
the states if the same courtesy is ex-
tended to the United States depart
ment by the Canadian government.
The report that Manitowoc residents
are likely to fight the law taxing
mortgages on the ground that it is uu
constitutional has aroused considerable
interest in Kenosha, the only doubt
being whether it will be possible to
get the case before the Supreme Court
before the Legislature amends the
present law. The enforcement of the !
mortgage taxation law, which had
long been in dead letter,on the statute I
books, is part of the policy of the ad-
ministration shown two years ago in
the veto by Governor LaFollette of the
Frost bill, measure drawn up on the
principal of exempting certain kinds
of property from taxation on the
ground that it cannot be uniformly
assessed. The justice of the principle
is so obvious that there is little doubt
a new measure will be presented at
this session.
