IT does not require an expert on
heating to see that there must be
something radically wrong with a
system that costs mint of money to
install and operate and yet can only
heat one room in building it is sup
posed to keep we'll warmed. The con-
ditions which have prevailed at the
Deming school for the past week or
two have not made many friends for
the heating system in use there and
the school board had better take plenty
of time to think the matter over care
fully before they order a similar sys-

WILLIAM c. WHITNEY, the father of
the modern navy, is dead. That the
United States was not caught totally
unprepared to do battlelat sea at the
beginning Of the Spanish<war is due,
in a great measure, to Mr.. Whitney's
foresight in recognizing the need of
an adequate naval establishment and
to his energy and perseverance in in
augurating the building up of the
navy. A man Of great enterprises
with positive genius for organization
he made his mark in many lines of
human endeavor but he will be longest
remembered for his services to his
country as secretary of the navy.

Well Known Chicago Plant 10 be Lo-
Gated in the old Building OF the
Carter Manufacturing co.
ASKS ONLY MOVING EXPENSES.
Nearly all the Money Needed Has Been
Raised and Plant Will Probably be
Moved In the Early Spring

The prospects for Kenosha securing
another manufacturing plant in the
very near future are decidedly bright
and unless all signs fail machin-
ery and foundry company, of Chi
cago. will in few months be located
in the plant formerly occupied by the
Carter Manufacturing company. The
company has been considering Keno
sha as a possible location for some
time and money is now being raised
among the merchants and business
men of the city to pay the expense of
moving the company from Chicago to
Kenosha. $945 is needed to secure the
company and of this amount $3.50 had
been raised last night and there is lit
tie doubt but what the remainder of
the money will be secured. The COM
pany has asked nothing from the city
except moving expenses. Jos. A.
Pitts and Joseph Bendt are the MEM
bers of the committee securing the
fund for the removal of the company
and there is little doubt but that they
will get the money needed.
The proposed new industry is a
small company closely related to the
Illinois Steel Company. The company
engages in the manufacture of ma
chinery and foundry work. 1t has
been established for some time and at
the present time it is employing forty
men. The managers believe that if
the company could get established out
side of Chicago it would in short
time greatly increase its business as
well as the pay roll. The Carter plant
on the north limits Of the city Is
splendidly adapted for the use of the
company and 1t is understood that ar
engagements have already been made
for the lease of the plant to the COM
pany with the consideration that the
people of the city contribute sufficient
money to remove the plant from Chi
cago to Kenosha. The Carter plant
has been vacant for many months.
For time it was thought that it would
be sold to the Don1ey Schroeder Tan
merry company but this company is
now flirting with other cities and it is
possible that the plant will be built
some place else.
The officials of the Chicago company
are we'll known in Kenosha. w. A.
Field who was formerly the manager
Of the Simmons Manufacturing COM
pany is the secretary Of the company.

lourneymen Plumbers OF the City De
eide to Make a sc Cent Ad-
vance on Rates in Use,
PRESENT CONTRACTS UNAFFECTED
New Scale For Work VIII go into Effect on
First Day of May Contractors Say
That Increase is just.

The journeymen plumber of the city
are to demand raise in wages. This
was the decision that was made at the
meeting of the local union on last
Monday evening and within the next
two days notices will be sent to the
contract plumbers in the city advising
them of the increase of the rates for
labor. The rate as now adopted will
be $3.50 for an eight hour day and it is
the same pay that is now being receiv-
ed by the journeymen plumbers in
Milwaukee, Racine and other cities in
Wisconsin. In Chicago the days wage
has been placed at 81 but the local
plumbers made no effort to raise the
wage to this limit mark. The increase
in pay will not affect any contracts
that have been made at the present
time and all the work contracted for
now or before the first of May will be
done at the old scale of $3 for the eight
hour day. The increase will come on
the first day of May and all work taken
after that time will be taken with the
understanding that the plumber is to
receive so for his eight hours work.
One of the contractors in the plum b.
ing business in speaking of the matter
this morning stated that the contract
ors had not as yet been advised of the
action Of the local union but that he
considered the demand a just one on
account of the fact that the men were
demanding the same wages that are
being paid in other Wisconsin cities.
s'Of course he said, ''the price of
plumbing work will have to be advanc-
ed on account of this action of the local
union and the advance will be consid-
cradle but the increase would have to
come at some time and it is. just as
well to have it now as later. The pro-
vision to change the scale on the first
of May will give the contractors a
chance to get all the present contracts
out of the way under the old scale and
prevent any possible loss to them"
The new scale as sent out also pro-
vides that where the plumber is forced
to work over time he shall receive
time and half and when he works on
Sunday or legal holiday the wages
shall be doubled. This rule is similar
to the rule which has been adopted by
ali organizations under the sway of
the American Federation of Labor.
This action or the part of the plumb
ers will of course increase the price
to be paid for all sorts of building in
the city after the opening of the sum-
mer and it will have the effect of slim.
ulating the business and as many con-
tracts as possible will be completed
before the increase in pay goes into
effect.

THERE has been considerable COM
ment lately on the roily appearance of
the water being served up by the water
company and some Of the company's
consumers have been afraid to use it.
The present dirty appearance of the
water is the result of the heavy masses
of ice stirring up the bottom of the
lake, the conditions being the same as
those which prevail during a heavy
northeast storm. There is hardly one
chance in thousand forsthe water to
have been contaminated. It is roily
TO be sure but it is clean dirt without
any poisonous vegetable matter and in
the opinion of chemists the water can
be used with perfect safety. Anyone
who is afraid to usesthe water as il is
now, however, can boil it and then it
is sure to be harmless.

Our Marines at Seoul.

The rather distressing news comes
from the far east that the American
marines lately landed at Seoul have
been misbehaving themselves. Just ex-
actly the nature of their offenses Is
not apparent at this distance but it
seems that our minister to the Korean
court has felt constrained to call upon
the commander to maintain more rigid
discipline and keep better order among
his men. There is doubtless some ex-
cuse for the conduct of the marines,
who perhaps partake Of the belligerent
spirit of their environment. With the
land of the morning calm changed to
that Of the nightly roughhOuse, it may
be expected that the marines would be
keyed up to the fighting mood. And
there is no doubt ample provocatton.
Perhaps our gallant lads disapprove OF
vodka or the Russian pronunciat ton, OF
maybe they don't like the looks and
ways of the Korean soldiers and police
Marine like, they are probably spelling
for fight, and possibly there isn't any.
thing else to do in Seoul. This may moi
be regarded as a sufficient reason fol
