- out how well the country
is really doing. TO watch the rush of
immigration. the opening. up of new
country and the beginning of new en-

the favorable reports is to realize that
the country is all right, even though the

In the industrial world the feature of
the week was the annual report of the

PA, does a business of S560,510.479 n
year and shows net earnings of Si33,
30S, 164, its reports command the atten-
ton of readers the world over. The
gratifying showing in the report is in
the fact that while the future bpsine IS
on the books of the company at this time
last year aggregated 4.49T, T49 tons, the
untitled orders in band this year show
the remarkable to.al of 5.437,253 tons.
and some of the pants of the company
have enough business to keep them going
to the end of 1903.
The railroads are making showings
in regard to net earnings that are graft
flying. considering the greatly increased
cost of operation due to wage advances
and other causes.

Milwaukee, Jan. 6.-The Journal OF

prominence the following article in
connection with it's campaign against
asphalt pavements:
eve, the undersigned, owners Of
horses, and others deeply interested
in the protection of horses, petition
the common council and board of pub
lie works to refrain from allowing any
city of Milwaukee"
This is the text of petition circu-
lated by Supt. r. D. Whitehead of the
Wisconsin Humane society among
representative peoplt of the city, to
enlist their aid in obtaining passable
streets for the city of Milwaukee.
Il have spent only such time as
could spare from my other work, and
this has been extremely little, in get
ting the signatures already attached"
said Mr.. Whitehead; ''but even at this
rate the one slip which | have had in
my possession has been well filled.
Owners of horses generally have
shown desire to affix their signatures
to it. Asphalt pavement is the terror
Of drivers and horse owners at this
season of the year, and I am teing fire.
quentIy called on to assist those who
wish to have their horses removed af-
ter they have fallen and injured them
selves.
F"The list attached represents $50
horses of a value of over $65,000.
Surely, such petition, if signed by
no others than those we already have,
ought to receive the. attention of the
common council. We shall present it
as soon as possible, though I doubt
whether much can be done until some
months later, when bids for new
street work are opened. 1t is cruel
ty to animals to have such treacher-
Gus pavement as asphalt in USE"
