The Real Cost OF Gas.

Gas price discussion in the west has
contributed a fact that is interesting
in more ways than one. Investigation
has developed that Sheffield, the British
Pittsburg, gets it's gas at the rate OF
from % to 80 cents, the lower rate be-
ing for use in gas engines, where 1t
furnishes power at the cost Of mills
per horse power per hour. The fact,
of course, impresses first as to the evil
dence of cheapness. The price of gas

GOOD JOB FOE GRAssER.
Eight Ward Man Named by City Clerk
to Take the State Census.


City Clerk George Harrington has
named Frank J. eraser of the Eighth
ward to take the census of the city,
and ne has already started his work.
Census Taker eraser will be kept
decidedly busy from now until after
the f1rst of August. He will not only
have the work of making an enumer-
alton OF all of the people in the city,
but ne will also be required to pre-
pare the statistics demanded by the
state IN regard to the different indus
trial plants IL the city.
Speculations on the census are al
ready being made, and many people
believe that the enumeration will show
Kenosha to be city of at least
10000 people. The most rapid growth
IN the city has been shown by
the districts on the West side, and it is
thought that the population in these
districts has more than doubled since
the National census was taken in
1000

SHOWS FALLING OFF.
Report of Collector for This Port Shows
That Few Vessels Are Arriving.


That Few Vessels Are Arriving.
The report of Collector George
Hale, of the port Of Kenosha, for the
months of May and June, will show a
decided falling off in the number of
vessels arriving at this port. During
May of 1904 there were % arrivals,
while during the month just ended
there were but Is. In June, of 1904
the report shows record of 80 yes
vels, while this year but IS have been
recorded.
The falling off is largely due to the
fact that the steamer City of Mar
quette no longer clears from this
port. Since she has been making
regular trips from Kenosha to Racine
she clears from the latter port Out
side of this fact the number of ar
rivals is about the same as it was last
wear.
