In Butte, Mont, there Is gambling

Broadway, and the house is luxuriously

floors, softened lights shine over the
players. courteous attendants deal and

standing west of the Machinery build
ing, filed with the latest and best pro-

steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-

greatest interest is in the engines them

Of the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others of
a similar type Of smaller capacity. This
is the first display of turbine engines
at large exposition, as its develop

mechanical engineering and invention.
At the Chicago Exposition the larg--

CINE is the largest engine Of its char

mission Selects Village as
Site Of Training School
PRESIDENT APPROVES CHOICE
Donation of Land Undoubtedly Helps
mission-Other Cities Sore.

The Reeder commission appointed
to investigate regarding the location
of naval training station on the
Great lakes has decided in favor of the
Lake Bluff site and a unanimous re-
port of the commission to that effect
has been approved by President
Roosevelt. The report Of the commits
sion was submitted to the president
Wednesday night, was approved, and
Thursday morning the document was
transmitted to Secretary Morton of
the navy department who announced
the conclusions of the commission and
that the approval of President Roose-
welt had been given to the findings.
The report of the commission is
brief, consisting of only two type
written pages. It enumerdtes the
ifty-eight sites offered, and says that
the commission visited each of them,
and that the members of the commits
sion are unanimously of the opinion
that on the merits the Lake Bluff site
is the most available. The point is
mentioned that the high price of land
which was noted in the report of the
former board as militia ting somewhat
against the site as compared with
other sites offered is now taken out of
question by the offer of Chicago bust
ness men to purchase and present to
the government all the land required
for the station at Lake Bluff. This
offer by the Chicago business men in
vo1ving the gift of $178,O0O worth of
land, is appended and made part Of
the commissions report.
Secretary Morton in discussing the
action of the commission, said he was
in doubt as to what steps are to be
taken by the department in carrying
out the provisions Of the law. The
commission was appointed by the
president and directed to report to
him, and the report is to be submitted
to congress on the first day of the
coming session. The appropriation
of $250,000 made by congress is said
to be expressly for the purpose of
acquiring the land, and it is not GER
tain that any part of it can be utilized
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-12-01

for beginning work on the station.
Secretary Morton said, however, that
he will look into the matter at once,
and will send engineers to the Lake
Bluff site to examine and run lines
preparatory to acquiring title and
whatever is permissible to be done
under the act of congress will be
done.
The secretary also said that the de-
partment has number of plans and
details for equipping such training
stations, and these will be put into
readiness for use. The report Of the
commission and the prompt action by
President Roosevelt in approving it,
will be keen disappointment to the
friends of other sites, notably the site
at Racine, which was supposed to be
reasonably sure of selection if the
Lake Bluff site were rejected.
Congressman Foss is naturally very
much e1ated at the success of his
fight to locate the station in his dist
riot. Much feeling has been engen-
dered during the fight, and the bitter
ness of the unsuccessful contestants
for the prize is shown in the charges
that undue influences have been at
work to influence the selection of
Lake Bluff.

The vote for the social democratic
ticket shows a rapid growth Of the
socialist movement. The social labor
party has been practically wiped out
as far as Wisconsin is concerned, the
vote for president being only 81. The
populist vote was also of little conse-
quence, Watson receiving only 79
votes in the entire state.
Debs, however, po1led II, 40 votes,
as against 7,O48 in 1900, and a social
labor vote of SOB in, that year. In
Milwaukee county this year Debs ran
ahead of Parker, the Debs vote being
18, $50, and that of Parker 19,315, a
difference Of sixty-five in favor of
Debs.
One feature of this vote is the fact
that the Debs supporters did not
scratch the ticket to any great ex-
tent.
The prohibition vote, as compared
with 1900, shows a falling off. In 1900
the vote was 1O,027, but this year,
with the Milwaukee vote estimated at
tOA, co AOhA y SdAS as " IAS eOI1A WILL
be 8, 587 for the national ticket.
In comparing the figures on the
state ticket the most noticeable fact is
that LaFo1lette ran behind every cam
didate on the ticket with him. His
plurality of 1912 was nearly $4,000
smaller than that of John J. Kempf,
candidate for treasurer whom LaFol-
1ette advised his followers to scratch.
Thomas, for railroad commissioner,
ran ahead of the entire ticket, except
Roosevelt.
The primary law was carried by a
majority slightly smaller than the
plurality for LaFo11ette, the vote be-
ing 13O,034 for, and 83,287 against.
This result shows that only half of
the voters expressed preference on
this question.

GETS THIRTY CENTS A DAY.
Man Opposed to Law to be Racine's
Supervisor of Assessments.

SUPERVISOR Oh assessments
Peter Nelson is the lucky man Sc
1ected by the Racine county board to
draw the munifcent salary of 80 cents
day allowed the supervisor Of as
sessments in that county, and at that
there were three candidates for the
place. Mr.. Nelson, while a member
of the Racine county board of super
v1sors, was strongly opposed to the
election of any supervisor of assess
ments. He wanted the office abo1-
ished and worked for the adoption of
resolution instructing the Racine
members Of the Legislature to have
the law repealed. Mr.. Nelson will
qualify for the office, but holding the
views he does it is hardly to be ex-
pected that he will enter upon the dis
charge of his duties with any great
amount of enthusiasm. The full value
assessment law is to be a dead letter
in Racine as far as it is in the power
of the supervisors to make it so. 1t is
believed that if any friend of the law
cared to take the matter up in &he
courts that the board could be COM
PEELED to pay larger salary than the
one voted. The law explicitly states
that "a fair compensation shall be
paid" and even the most rabid op-
ponents of the law would hardly con-
tend that 80 cents a day is a fair COM
pensat1on for an assessor who in
tended to carry out the duties of his
position.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-12-01

The vote is full of surprises, not the
least of them being the comparative
showing of LaFo11ette and Roosevelt.
1t was expected that LaFo11ette
would run far behind the republican
presidential candidate, but that he
would fall over 100000 behind the
head of his ticket and still be elected
by a plurality of 81, 1872 is the most
astonishing election development of
years.
President Roosevelt has plurality
Of 153, 255 inSWisconsin. Yet the total
vote cast is many thousands below
that of 1900, despite the wonderful
growth of the state in the past four
years.
A comparison of the p1ura1ities of
Roosevelt and LaFol1ette is interest
ing. Rooseve1t's plurality is larger
than LaFo1lette's by 1O1,523. In 1896
Mckinley had a plurality in Wiscon-
sin of 1872, 612 and in 1900 of 100, 597.
LaFol1ette's plurality in 1900 was
1O2, 745.
The vote received by Mckinley in
1900 was the largest plurality ever
given candidate in Wisconsin, but
the 1904 record will doubtless stand
for many years to come.
