Compilers Of The New City Directory
Discover Unprecedented Growth in
Population Of the City.
IMPOSSIBLE TO HOUSE PEOPLE
Many Houses In the City are Now Being
Increase Surprise.

The agents of the A. G. Wright
company. of Milwaukee, who are
making a new city directory of Keno
sha, will complete their work tomor
row, and the result will be a surprise
to even the people of the city, for the
new directory will show that the city
Of Kenosha has a population of more
than sixteen thousand people and that
It has made an unprecedented growth
during the past two years.
In speaking of the work in the city,
one of the enumerators said this morn
ing II am afraid to tell you of the
great increase we have found in the
population of Kenosha, for It is SO
large that the people will be slow to
believe it. The exact figures can not
be given out now, but the city has
population of considerably over six
teen thousand, and believe that the
growth in the past two years has been
greater in Kenosha than in any other
city in the state. In many Of the
houses we have found two and three
families living, and there is hardly
single vacant house in the city. Many
new houses are now going up, but
nearly all Of these have already been
rented and they will be occupied as
soon as they are completed.
The growth of the foreign popu1a-
ton has been exceedingly large dur
ing the past few years and this espec-
i a W 4o 10 "
growth of the Italian colony shows a
greater advance than any other col
ony in the city.
is also noticed that the Polish
population of the city has fallen off,
but there has been a large increase
among the Lithunanians in the city.
''What Kenosha needs said the
enumerator sis a few successful
funerals to get rid of some of the men
now ho1ding,the,city back. With these
elements out of the way there is no
doubt but that Kenosha would be one
OF the greatest cities on the north
shore"
The new directory which will be
sent out the first week in September
will be a great improvement over
former directories. 1t will not only
contain the names of the people in
the city, but it will have them ar
ranged according to streets. The
orders for the books have been taken
and the company will only print
enough of the books to supply the
orders.

SEEK SITE AT ONCE
Council Takes Steps to Hurry Along
the New Engine House for
the Third Ward.
BRASS MILL MEN MAY GIVE AID

The city council has taken up the
tight for an engine house in the third
ward again and the council last eve
ming ordered the committee on build
1ngs and grounds to take immediate
steps to secure site for the proposed
addition to the fire department. The
committee will make an effort to
secure lot at once and it is possible
that the house will be ordered built at
the next regular meeting of the coun-
Gil. The men connected with the
management of the Brass Mill have
offered to aid the city in this work
and a lot owned by the company has
been offered to the city, The com
pany has not placed any price on the
lot, but has stated that the city can
take the lot and pay whatever any
real estate man in the city will value
It at. For some time the Chicago
Brass Company has been anxious tc
secure the building of an engine

house in the third ward and there is
no doubt, but that the company will
do everything in its power to boost
the plan. It is even limited by mem
bers of the committee in charge of
selecting the site that the company
is ready to give the site if the city
will build the engine house.
The committee on streets and alleys
IS now dickering with people inter-
ested in the vacation of Summers
street and it is probable that these
people will be willing to make dona-
ton of fifteen hundred dollars for the
fire engine house if the street is
vacated and the council could proba-
bly, find some plan to raise the other
money needed for the building of the
house. At present the hose wagon
for the third ward is housed in a build
ing owned by the Chicago Brass
Works.

DOWsE A CANDIDATE
Young Pleasant Prairie Republican Seeks
Nomination for Office of County Clerk

James Q. Dowse, one of the best
known of the younger Republicans of
the county, has come out as a candi-
date for the nomination as county
clerk. Mr.. Dowse has lived in the
town of Pleasant Prairie all his life,
and has always been an earnest and
energetic supporter of the Repub1i-
can party. He had considerable sup
port for the nomination for the same
Office in the county convention two
years ago, and since his candidacy
was announced he has received assur-
ances that he will have a consider
able following from all sections of
the county. Dowse is we'll and favor
ably known all over the county and
should he be nominated and elected
would undoubtedly make a conscien-
tious and efficient official.

HARRISON ON ASSESSMENTS.

To the Editor
In the mention made in the Te1e-
graph Courier of July 21st of the ex-
emption of the poor farm from assess
ment it was stated that it was only
after sharp tilt between the Board
of Review and the Supervisor and
after the board had threatened to levy
an assessment against the county
buildings that the assessment
was withdrawn. The tilt and threat
part of it is all moonshine. What
little conversation we had was very
pleasant and harmonious. The Sup
ervisor could not withdraw the assess
ment, but merely recommended that
it be exempted and the same with
putting it in the assessment roll.
In another article the statement is
made that the Supervisor is evidently
intending to boost some of the fac
tories.
I am endeavoring to get them on an
equitable basis and not have some Oh
the best plants assessed at so per cent.
and some of the dead plants at 13C
per cent. My duties require me tc
report property that has been omitted
from the roll in the past three years tc
the assessors. Also any property that
is over or under valued and if they dc
not take action to report the same tc
the board Of Review and if the differ.
ences are not adjusted on the assess
ment roll the fault is not mine.

SHOWS WAVE MOTOR
Famous Invention OF Harry Raymond
Exhibited This Morning for
the First Time.
TO HARNESS THE OCEAN WAVES.

Harry Raymond, the Kenosha in
ventor, placed on exhibition at the
Dewey hardware store this morning,
a contrlvance which promises to
prove one of the greatest additions to
the world of mechanics made in many
years. It is what he calls an ocean
Wave Motor, " and it is built for the
purpose of utilizing the waves of the
ocean as a source of power. For
years Raymond has been at work on
the continuance and the model which
is now on exhibition is regarded by
him as a perfect one. Great things
are claimed for the invention and
Raymond claims that he is convinced
that It will prove entirely practical.
VI course many men have been at
work on the same proposition for
years and years, but none of them
has succeeded. The invention of
the Kenosha man is simple one and
is composed of an arrangement of
floats by which every bit of power in
the waves can be turned into COM
merc1al product. He asserts that
with one of his machines in operation
all the machinery in any of the sea
board cities could be operated from
central plant.
Mr.. Raymond is planning to form a
company for the advancement of his
invention, and to this end he is seek
ing to interest a few capitalists who
are willing to put up sufficient money
to patent the device and place it on
the market. He claims that there is
barrel of money in the invention if
he can bring it before the public.

CALAMITY LIKE THIS Is NEEDED.

"wculd be a calamity" From
Speaker Cannon's standpoint per-
haps it would. He would lose an
S., 1000 job, the trusts would lose
their grip on the pocketbooks Of
the people, the railroads would be
compelled to accept just what the
public must accept in the way of
laws and the enforcement thereof,
the carpetbaggers in the Philip
pines would have to look around
for some other profitable graft,
the postoffice swindlers would have
to either fly to some foreign shore
or go to jail, the trust magnates
would find themselves confronted
by criminal prosecutions instead
of injunctions that did not enjoin,
the hangers-on at the public crib
would find their supply of susten-
ance cut off, the corporation lob
byists would find themselves COM
pelled to give honest work for the
appropriations they secured, and
an army of useless clerks, appoint
ed for political reas ons, would
have to return to their homes and
go to work. Indeed, calamity
dire calamity-would befall a
whole lot of benefciaries of spec

gress should be elected on the

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

In four states-Wyoming, Cole
RADIO, Utah and Idaho-women
possess the right to vote on equal
terms with men at all elections.
Either full or partial suffrage for
women exists in twenty-siX states.
In eighteen states women possess
school suffrage. In Kansas they
have municipal and school suf-
frage. M.ntana and Iowa permit
them to vote on the issuance of
municipal bonds. In 1898 Louis
lana granted them the privilege of
voting upon questions relating to
public expenditures. With this
exception the Southern states have
been slow in advancing the woman
suffrage cause. The women of
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho vote for Presidential cleo
tors.
