The result of the election is the ratifi
cation of the action of the city council
in adopting the general charter laws
governing schools. This means union
of all districts and the establishment
of central high school for the city.
The power of appointing members of
the board of education is by law, vested
in the mayor. But the present execu-
tive of the city has promised that he
will appoint such men as may be select
Cd, either by petition or election, in the
several wards.
The next step necessary for the in
auguration of the system for whose es-
tablishment the way has been cleared
by the result of last Friday evenings
election is a joint meeting of the city
council and the town board of Manito-
woo for the purpose of dividing the pro-
perty of joint district No. |, from which
the town mentioned has been detached
by the vote cast at the aforesaid election.
The meeting called for August Sth
will not be held.

RAIL WAY COMPANY FILES
PAPERS IN APPEAL ON AWARD

The Chicago & North. Western Rail
way company is dissatisfied with some
Of the awards made to property owners
by The board of appraisers in condemna
ton of certain lands along the right of
way of the Manitowoc Green Bay line,
and has taken an appeal to the circuit
court The commission made total
of fifteen awards. In seven of these
fifteen cases the appraisement was, it
seems, satisfactory to the company,
objection being made to the remaining
eight awards. Following is n list of the
awards which the company refuses to
pay. To Bowen and Helen Morse, $3402
and $4935; to Charles Hall, $500; to
Joseph Zeman, $3.50 to Joseph Kostlevy
T237O; to Frank Hostek, Jr, $1,000; to
Frank and Joseph Hostek, $4,000 In
these cases the court will be asked to
hear evidence as to the value of the
lands. Papers in the company's appeal
were filed with the clerk of the circuit
court in the latter part of the preceding
week.
While it is to be supposed that the
company is willing to pay the other
awards made by the board of appraisers,
it is not improbable that these property
owners will add to the complication of
the matter at issue by also taking an
appeal to the circuit court. The statute
made and provided for the regulation of
such appeals allows twenty days for the
filing of papers The report of the com.
mission was recorded July 90 The pro-
perty owners who are dissat atisfied with
the awards of the commission will there.
fore have to make up their minds before
next Wednesday, Aug. 8, as to whether
or not it will be advisable for them to
take an appeal. If they do not take &C
ton in this matter before that date,
they will be obliged to abide by the
estimate of the board of appraisers.
Among the awards to which the compa-
ny has made no objection are; that to
the city of Manitowoc, 1885, to Carl
Kuchenbraecker, S255O;to Frank Soukop,
$3.50 and that to Emil Kretche, $500.
The commission making the awards was
compose. of Charles Hacker, Edward
Mohr and Henry Wernecke.

MONDAY, JULY 3lst, 1908.


The week as whole has been a very
favorable one, both for the advancement
and maturity Of crops and for farm
work.
The early part of the week was quit,
cool, especially in the northern and cen
trail portions of the state, but no frost
occurred, and the growth of vegetation
was not seriously checked. Fair weather
with full sunshine prevailed until Fri
day, which furnished exec llent cond
tons for completing haying and harvest
ing OF wheat, rye and barely.
Rains were quite general over the
State Friday, and very beneficial to corn
potatoes, tobacco, sugar beets, ant
gardens.
The crop situation in this state ut the
end of July is very satisfactory Thos,
crops that have already been secured
are good, while growing crops are max
ing excellent progress
Winter Wheat and Rye: These crops
are now secured and some threshing has
been done. The yields are generally
very good.
Spring Grains Barley is mostly in
shock in the central and southern coun.
ties and ready for harvesting elsewhere.
The crop M II whole is good. Oats are
ripening rapidly and some has been cut.
There is general complaint of lodging
and some complaint of rust. The bulk
of the crop will be harvested during the
coming week. Spring wheat and rye
are satisfactory crops.
Corn; The showers during the latter
part of the week were very beneficial to
corn, and the crop is now generally in
promising condition, especially on high,
well drained land On low land it has
been too wet to allow proper cultivation
and the fields are very weedy.
Potatoes: The season has been too wet

A FINE exhibition
OF SPEED.

The auto races at the fair grounds on
Sunday, under the auspices of the Elks,
were attended by more than 100 people,
the paid admissions numbering 1852.
There were three races-the big race
of the Red Devil and the White
Ghost given by Cleveland (O) pro-
motels; local auto race, and a
motor cycle race.
The two grand stands were packed
and hundreds of eager spectators lined
the fence outside the track on either side
of the judges stand +. r. Zentner
officiated as announcer. The Marine
band was present and rendered excellent
music before and after the races aud be-
tween the heats.
1t was half-past three o'clock when
the starter announced that the Red
Devil and the White Ghost would start
on their first two. mile heat The former
started first and was followed by the
latter quarter of mile behind After
making one circuit to get up speed, the
signal was given and the machines sped
with marvellous velocity four times
around the track The Ghost won this
heat, covering the two miles in two
minutes twenty eight seconds.
Next came the first heat in the motor
cycle race between Charles Schumacher
and Raymond Frick. The latter won,
covering the two miles in focr minutes
thirty seconds. AT or i fifteen minutes
rest they went the second neat. This
was also won by Frick. who therefore
won the race IN two straight heats. He
covered the last two miles in four
minutes eighteen seconds. The contest
was quite close, the two riders being al
most neck and neck for the first three
circuits of the second heat. The purse
for this race was $50.
The next ON the program was the
second heat of the big race. Through au
error in the interpr station of signal
given from the stand, for the last lap,
the driver of the Devil made only three
circuits. Therefore, this heat did not
count. The three laps-a mile and a
half-were covered in one minute forty
eight seconds by the Devil, and in one
minute fifty-one seconds by the Ghost.
Next came the local auto race be-
tween Neil Olson in Wayne car and
Barney Hall in Rambler, the race be-
ing won in two straight heats by the
former. The best time made was three
minutes forty two seconds.
After this came the final heat of the
big race, the White Ghost being the
winner of this heat and of the race. The
Ghost covered the two miles in two
minutes twenty seven seconds one of
the miles being made in one minute
thirteen seconds.
After q short rest the driver of the
Ghost undertook the difficult task of
going an exhibition mile against time,
bat time won out The Ghost covered
the mile in TIA 10

TOWN OF MANIT0W0C
RAPIDS SHOWS GAIN OF lO3
OVER THE REPORT FOR 1900
But Loss OF 205 in Ten Years.

Census retuns from the town of Mani

1920 inhabitants, lob more than the re-
port for 1900 showed. In 1890 the town
had 1914 inhabitants and under the state
census of 1895 population of 202j was
reported. Thus it appears that, while
the population of the town mentioned
has increased by l03 in the past five
years, it has decreased by 205 during
the last decade. AT present there are

tions to serve in the militia and there

THE EASTERN SUGAR REFINERs.
The Factors Company has fortified it
self for the coming fight on the Pacific
Coast most effectuaHy. by making a
contract with the Eastern Sugar Trust
for three years from next fall; by
which it has the right t6- sell its entire
crop in New York, with the privilege Of
selling or refining 10000 tons of sugar
on the Pacific Coast This puts the
Factors Company in the advantageous
position of being able to refine only
so much sugar on the Pacific Coast as
it finds profitable to do or necessary to
keep up an effectual competition against
its rival. with an assured market for all
Of its surplus.
The Factors Company has already
proved highly beneficial to the Islands
sugar interests in its ability to secure
low freight rates by concentrating all
the freight into one control, thereby en-
surfing large shipments. Still greater
