Harbor Commissioners Busy
Every Minute During Their
Short Stop at Kenosha.
WEATHER WAS FAVORABLE
Water Pours Through the South
Pier All Afternoon Showing the
Effect of Wave Motion.-Con-
missioners Visit Factories.

Col. W. H. Bixby, Major D. D. Gail
lard and Major L. H. Beach, the gov
eminent commission which came to
Kenosha on Monday to investigate
the action of northeast storms on the
harbor here, spent a decidedly strenu-
Gus day in the city and the conditions
of the weather were so perfect for the
explanation of the claims in regard to
the Kenosha harbor that it is thought
that there is little doubt but that the
commission will ask congress to make
some appropriation for 1engthening
the breakwater.
When the members of the commits
sion and the three congressman ac-
companying them reached the south
pier they found the wind blowing
gale from the northeast and the wa
ter was sweeping in torrents through
the great rents in the south pier. The
point that had been raised by Keno
sha harbor experts was shown to a
splendid advantage by the storm.
Col. Bixby was evidently from Mis-
souri, and as he was not satisfied with
looking at the south pier the tug Will
liam Eng1e was brought into commits
sion and with the water breaking over
her sides the members Of the commits
sion went out to take a look at the
breakwater and fully advise them
selves of the conditions.
It was csasideS'y strenuous trip to
the breakwater but the commissioners
and the members of the committee all
managed to make the trip without
getting sea sick. On their return from
the lake the commissioners were Civ
en- letters from Captain Cameron,
ii. M. Baldwin, and the Simmons
Manufacturing company ali of which
included a clear statement of the
trenbles in the Kenosha harbor and
she changes necessary to improve
these conditions.
After the visit to the harbor the
commissioners were again loaded in
the automobiles and the trip about the
city started. All of the larger factor
les were visited. The commissioners
seemed to be greatly impressed with
the size of the Kenosha factories and
several of them expressed surprise to
learn that such a great amount of
business was being done in this city.
At the Jeffery plant the commission
ers took short rest while they were
taken through all the departments of
the big auto works.
The junketing trip about the city
ended at the Elks club where lunch
was served in honor of the visitors.
Covers were laid for sixteen. Con-
gresham Davidson and his son left
on the 6:15 train for Milwaukee and
Oshkosh, and the other members of
the party left at 6:26 going to Chica-
go.
It is expected that the report of the
commission will be ready for the Sec
rotary of war early in the fall.

The brewers annually make the
announcement that no saloon license
money will be advanced, and just as
regularly go back on their word when
the time comes for the saloons to put
up or shut up. Then saloon men
caught on to this little bluff of the
brewers long ago and they know the
license money will be forthcoming
when it is needed. Competition is so
sharp between the big brewing COM
panies that all of them would rather
keep saloon open at loss for q
time rather than see it pass into the
hands of rival concern; but the
business is so enormously profitable
that there are very few losses for the
brewers. The brewers are not philan-
thropists. There is money in backing
the saloons financially or they would
not do it, and that is the only reason
why the brewers regularly disappoint
the good people who hope every time
the license money is due that some Of
the saloons will have to drop out, by
coming forward with license money.
The brewers will have to put up a
large percentage Of the license money
to be paid July l, but you will notice
that the number Of saloons has in
creased just ffle same.

RoNDEAUs OF RECOLLECTION.

I'll not forget: though l may be
Long absent, shall ever see
The one bright star l claimed as mine,
Which shone above rustic shrine,
The shrine of my ido1atry!
A farm house meath forest tree,
Where dwe1t maiden fancy-free;
How for her smile then did pine,
I'll not forget!
l was but six,-she only three;
But o, she did not fancy me!
How in fantastic fragments fine
She tore my s'frstest'' valentine,
My youthful loves imprisoned plea,
I'll not forget!
I'll not forget the sheltered nest
Which Graded me. The boundless west
Holds naught within it's vast embrace,
Which can from memory erase
The home of youth that love best.
How, when boy, upon the breast
Of old Kenosha's bluff L i rest,
And gaze up into sun1it space,
I'll not forget
The meadows which my footsteps pressed,
When springtime treasures were my quest;
In old Pike Creek, the swimming place,
And each dear, sweet, familiar face
Of friends of old, beloved and b1est,
I'll not forget!
I'll not forget the simplest things;
For mem'ry ever backward wings
Her airy, fairy, mystic flight;
And in a vision, crystal bright,
A picture of my boyhood brings.
A fragrant censor slowly swings;
And on the air a perfume filings,
The odors of summer night
I'll not forget!
All, faded flowers of vanished springs,
How long thy fragrance round US c1ings.
Dear home of youth, fond1y plight
My faithful love to thee: despite.s~gT
My hayward western wanderings,
I'll not forget!

IN THE SCHOOL LEAGUE.
Durkee School Team Has Big Lead In
Fight for Championship Honors

Fight for Cham pionship Honors
The eighth round of games in the
school baseball league was played
Saturday, all being well played and
resulting in close scores.
The strong Weiskopf nine were de-
feated by the champion Durkee team
3 to 4, and the St. George school,
which took the place of Deming, de-
feated the Freshmen by the same
score.
3 The ST. James. boys had an easier
time with the smaller boys from
Frank building, the score being 9 to 5.
Since vacation commences this
week, the succeeding games will be
played whenever the captains of op-
posing teams agree to meet. Many
of the boys secure work during vaca-
ton, and in order to give them a
chance to play, the final games will
probably be played on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings after O'Clock.
Each team still has seven games to
be played, and the results of these
games may greatly change the stand
ings, which are now as follows:

THE fact that one mad dog made its
appearance south of the city last week
is hardly sufficient grounds for gen.
era1 order muzzling all the dogs in the
city, as some people seem to think. If
any more cases of rabies develop
among the animals such an order will
undoubtedly be issued, but there is
no necessity for putting the animals
to the torture of wearing muzzles at
present.

Police Recover a Wheel Stolen From

The police of the city have recov-

ago from M. M. Huck, the Main street
jewe1er. The wheel was found at the
Buchanan repair shop, where it had
been sold by party of boys. The
boys secured $3.50 for the property.
It seems that the ringleader of the
gang of bike thieves is now in Chi

were placed under arrest Tuesday
evening. They were allowed to go on
account of their tender age, and the

THE towns in the county are max
ing the usual efforts to repair the
highways with the usual result of
making the roads worse than ever.
For the labor and money that is ex-
pended annually by the towns of the
county and by public spirited individ-
uals in this haphazard fashion, in ten
years the county could build up a per-
feet system of highways constructed
on scientific principles and of per-
manent value. The repairs made now
are of little lasting benefit, but the
time will come when the farmers will
awake to realization of the inesti-
mable value of good roads and begin
to build highways under intelligent
supervision. Then they will need the
money that is being wasted now.

THE Milwaukee members of the or
der are seriously considering the APP
pointment of receiver for the Royal
Arcanum. It is difficult to see just
what benefit would be derived by the
older members of the order from re-
ownership. They are the ones that
suffer from the increase in rates, and
the expense of a long legal battle
would only result IN greater assess
ments and increase the chances of be-
ing frozen out in the long run.
