United States Government Seeking a
Site for Big Camp South
Of. Kenosha.
MANY SOLDIERS WOULD COME.
Plan includes the Purchase of 400 Acres of
Land If it can be Bought at
Reasonable Price.

The agents of the United States
government have been in this county
for the past week seeking to secure a
site for the location of a drill ground
to be used by the mem bers of the
United States army at Fort Sheridan.
The land needed for the grounds will
be ia the neighborhood of four hun
dred acres and it is expected that the
present congress will order the pur
chase of the property, and if this plan
carries the land will be improved dur
ing the early spring. For two years
the soldiers from the fort were en-
camped on the property of H. S. Van
Ingen, just south of the city, and the
spot was declared by all to be an ideal
place for the big camp. To this end it
is thought possible that the property
will be bought by the government and
improved for a permanent camp. Mr..
VanIngen refused to say anything in
regard TO the possible sale of the site
and it is possible that the land will be
purchased to the south of the city. The
property is ideally situated for the
uses of the government. Overlooking
the lake for nearly half mile any
number of targets for target practice
could be set up. The sale of the land
to the government would be great
thing for Kenosha, as this city would
then become for from four to six
months in the year one of the big
points for Government supplies. Dur
ing the camps held in the county in
recent years continuing only for a
fortnight Kenosha merchants and
dealers in provisions sold large
amounts to the government, and what
is more to the point is that there is no
quibbling over the prices paid. The
people of Kenosha greatly enjoyed the
two visits of the soldiers to the city
and there was something doing all the
time the men we're in camp south Of
the city. 1t is true that the visit of
the soldiers also filled the dockets of
the police and Justices courts, but ali
of the soldiers were ready to pay their
fines and in this way quite little
money was raked in for the school
fund. The deal for the purchase of
the land is expected to be made some
time the first of the year and the first
of series of camps will be opened
with the early spring. Fort Sheridan
is the central post of the army and
there will be some of the soldiers at
the fort in camp during the entire
spring and sumner.

Now that there is every indication
that it is the intention of the company
to carry out its franchise in good faith,
the Citizens Telephone and Telegraph
company has valid.claim to the good
will of the people of Kenosha. None
of us likes to see another set of poles
going up in the streets of the city but
It would be well before we enter too
vigorous a protest to stop and consider
that if the new company's poles were
not goingFup we would still be paying
exorbitant rates to the old company
for very inferior service. The poles
of the new telephone company are no
worse than the poles of the other COM
panies that cumber the streets and
when the time comes for the city to
order ali wires under ground the new
company will be as ready as any of the
others to comply with the orders. The
advent of the new company has i'm
proved the telephone serviceE1OO per
cent andsit is entitled to all the credit
for this remarkable change of heart
on the part of the old company. More
over there is every prospect that when
the fight for business between the
rival companies commences rates will
go down.

No FEAR FOR DOWIE.
Kenesha Creditors OF the Prophet Fail
to Ioin in the Mad Rush to Sc
cure Payment of Debts.
WILL WAIT RECEIVERS DICTATES

Kenosha creditors of John Alexan-
der Dowie in Kenosha have not been
affected by the general clamor of cred.
itors to secure possession of his prop
erty and not one of the people doing
business with the people of Zion City
has filed claim in the demand for
Dowie to pay up. Several of the cred
itors from this city have made quiet
visits to Zion City and on their return
they have expressed willingness to
wait for the final settlement of the
affairs of DR.. Dowie and his band.
The Kenosha creditors are by no means
the smallest creditors of Zion.
For years Kenosha has been favor
lite buying poipt with Dowie and near
ly all the Zion coal and great amount
of Zion Lumber has been sold by bust
ness houses in Kenosha. Daily the
long wagon train from Zion comes to
Kenosha for coal and one of the deal
ers in Kenosha sells to the prophet in
single year half the coal supply of
Zion. These bills have been met
promptly In the past and the fact that
Dowie is in arrears at the present time
has not been deemed sufficient for the
Kenosha people to attempt to force
him to the wall. Dowie also buys
much Of his bread stuffs in Kenosha
and his flowers are all purchased from
the Kenosha green houses.
These creditors insist that they will
not join in any concerted move to
break down the credit Of Dowie and
hold that there is no doubt but that if
Dowie is left to work out the problem
that every creditor will be settled with
with the full accrued interest. This
view is rapidly prevailing among other
creditors of Dowie and his industries
and several of the leading creditors
have filed petition with the courts in
Chicago asking that the receivers be
discharged and that the property be
turned back to DR.. Dowie. These men
are convinced that Zion is paying in
vestment and they areunwilling to see
any in justice done to Dowie and his in
dustries.

curing money to pay every claim and
the receivership may end within the
next ten days. A we'll known banker
from Milwaukee Friday sent to Dowie
a draft for fifty thousand dollars and
1t is claimed that he secured from
banks ia New York more than hun
dred thousand dollars in the last
twenty-four hours. With money COM
ing in at this rate there will be little
trouble in settling all claims that have
been made against the city and its
leader

TEACHERS TO MEET
Coming Meeting of the State Teachers
Association Promises to be of
More Than Usual Interest.
MANY NOTABLE FEATURES.

s'From the correspondence have
had with teachers the past week con-
corning the meeting of the Wisconsin
Teachers Associa ton, Dec. 1881, it
can be seen that the convention will
be the largest ever held" said Secre-
tary Thomas w. Boyce yesterday.
"Many who have never attended the
annual meetings will come this year,
and there is little question bur that the
enrolment will be 1000, or 700 more
that in any past year. Several things
have conspired. to awaken this IN erest.
One is the question of teachers wages
which will be discussed in all its fea,
lures at the meeting and the other is
the strong programme of speakers.
1.-TWO or three changes have been
made in the programme as published.
Miss Margaret Haley, president of the
National Federation of Teachers, has
asked that she be placed first on the
programme in order that she may leave
Milwaukee in time to fill an engage
ment with the New Jersey Teachers
6ASSOCAd lAOu lAO ddys MISS
Haley's address on Democracy in
Education" will contend that teachers
spend too much effort in perfecting
the theory and practice of teaching on
it's professional side, neglecting to
keep the public in touch with new edu-
cation.
"An innovation is the place on the
program given the annual election of
officers. Heretofore many members
believed the election, which came in
the middle of the programme, termin-
ated the meeting aud accordingly they
went home instead of waiting through
the convention for the later sessions.
The election will be the last matter of
business. One of the best educational
meetings ever held in the state will be
that of the city superintendent and
supervising principals Dec. %, the day
before the converting of the associa.
ton. The reception and banquet at
Downer college of the social club of
women teachers has been changed
from O'Clock in the evening to S
O'Clock in the afternoon to enable
mem bers to hear the messiah" that
evening. Much interest is being mani
tested in the music section, which has
been revived this year after being
dropped for three years. The pro-
gramme of the section betokens that
it will be entertaining as we'll as In
structive.
Zone of the important things to be
considered at the business session will
be the amendment proposed last year
by C. P. Parlin of Warsaw, restricting
membership to those actively engaged
in teaching and members of supervis-
ing boards of instruction. The pro-
posed amendment is aimed at the book
men and it is possible attempts to

NO WHEY BUTTER.
Cheese Factories Give up the Manufacture
OF Whey Butter

OH0es0 E6CCOrA0s Give up tine manufacture

Every one of the several hundred
creameries and cheese factories in Wis.
consin that have been engaged in
making whey butter for many years
has given up the industry. According
to Deputy Collector Of Internal Rev

This is the result Of notice sent
out to the manufacturers that unless
the product contains less than 10 per
cent. moisture it is subject to tax of
10 cents per pound and makers must
secure manufacturer license, which
costs 5000 a year. Makers have found
ii impossible, the revenue officers say,
to make the product with less than Is
per cent. of moisture and as it cannot
be marketed at a profit after paying 10
cents duty per pound, the enterprise
has beeeE abandoned.
The fact that whey butter manu-

great satisfaction to the farmers who
supply milk to the factories because of
the benefit to the waste product which
is used in feeding stock, and it now
contains certain percentage of butter
fat, which up to the present time had
been skinned off and used in making
whey butter.
Dealers in oleomarg arine and but
terine are doing thriving business
just at the present time, according to
the reports that come into the revenue
Office. Although the imitation butter
is uncolored and has white, waxen
appearance, great quantities are being
sold because of the high prices of the
genuine article. The revenue officials
say it is vastly superior to poor
grade of butter and becomes quite de-
lectable after the repugnance to the
color is overcome.

VIEW OF THE SHINGLE MARKET
II. G. Richardson Says the Mills Should Shut
Down.

II. &. Richardson, the largest individ.
ual shipper OF shingles in the state last
year, was in Tacoma last week. Mr..
Richardson has some 7O,OOO,OOO shingles
to his credit for last year. He naturally
is viewing with concern the weakness
now developing in shingles, as indicated
by the drcpr'ng prices. His opinion of
the cause and remedy is set out in the
following Interview with a reporter of
The Ledger:
There'snothing seriously the matter"
he said, Excepting that we shinglemen
have furnished the Eastern dealers with
ammunition with which to fight us.
Here is the situation: We ran all our
mills in Det 'mber and January and were
delighted Il at the Fasteners took all
the shingles We could get cars to ship.
We were not disposed to look a gift
horse in the mouth and did not inquire
what were becoming Of the shingles we
were selling. Today those dealers all
have limited stock on hand, and in an.
swer to our inquiries for orders tell us
that they can only buy at cut OF 5 cents
on the market. If we don't ship at the
offered prite. the dealer simply fills the
order fromstAe stock he has on hand, and
there we a'e. Despite the orders we
were receiving in December and Janu-
airy. think We should have shut down
| our mills on general principles, and today
the Fasteners would have been falling
over each other to make us offers. It's
no use crying over split milk, and the
best thing we can do is to inaugurate a
shutdown now. In this way we shall be
in q position to take advantage OF a
season that have reasons for thinking
is to be banner one. Otherwise, with
even vast and growing market, while
we shall undoubtedly sell all the shin
giles we can make before the end OF the
year, it will he at figure shamefully
small for so good an article, and cutting
down our profits from the business most
materially. In my opinion running the
mills the Year round will not manufac
facture any more shingles than will be
consumed, but will result in material
loss to all OF us. 1t would have been
preferable to have had this shutdown in
the middle OF Il G winter. but it is better
late than never. If the shutdown is
agreed to by the mills, you will see price
90 soaring at once"

WILL SURVEY TIDE LANDS.
State Land Commission Decides to Commence
at Aberdeen and hoquiam.

At meeting Of the board Of state lane
commissioners held last Thursday, it was
determined to begin the field " o,k on the
survey Of the tide lands in front OF Aber
deem on May l. The object Of the meet.
ing was to take up the question Ct max
ing the survey Of the tide lands, which
surveys were authorized by an act o.
the last legislature, and the sum O
$26,5OO appropriated for work Of the char
acter to be done at Aberdeen, Hoquiam,
Kalama and Ilwsco in the southwest
and at Everett, Bremelton and on Lake
Washington and Lake Union.
The preliminary work is already in
progress in the engineering department
Of the state land office for the work at
Aberdeen and Hoquiam. At the meeting
OF the board resolution was adopted
placing the states chief engineer, E. II.
Anderson, in personal charge of the field
work. Will X. White, OF Seattle, will be
head transit man.
1t is possible that two field forces will
be put at work later in the spring, one Of
them working at Hoquiam.
1t is hoped to clear up all the work in
the southwest this year, though the Aber-
&c N and Hoquiam surveys will not be
completed until late in the fall. The
work at Everett and Bremerson and the
lakes near Seattle will hardly be reached
before next year, under the present
plan. The work mentioned includes the
establishing Of harbor lines at the cities
named above, and the plating OF tide
lands in front OF them. The state is
not authorized to sell any tide lands in
front Of or within two miles OF the cor
porate limits OF any city until the lands
are plated.
The industrial growth of the cities OF
Hoquiam and Aberdeen, in particular,
has been seriously hampered by the in
ability OF industries to secure sites on
the water front. In Everett the matter
is not so serious, and the greater portion
OF the tide lands in front Of that city
were sold piior to its incorporation, in
which case they may be sold without
plating, and by the lineal chain.
The harbor lines to be established sci
out an area between low tide and deep
water, where the area may be leased by
the state for the erection OF wharves and
other improvements beneficial to COM
MERGE and navigation.
