MAY GET FROST Line
Illinois Central Rai|wayllco. Said.
to be Backing Road Between
kenosha and Waukegan
OPEN NEW TERRITORY
Managers of the Central are Said to be
Furnishing the Money for the
Building of Electric Rail-
way to Milwaukee

It stories sent out from Waukegan
are to be believed Kenosha will soon
have a connection with one of the
largest railway systems in the West,
as it is stated at Waukegan that the
Illinois Central Railway company is
largely interested in the company
which is building the electric railway
between Waukegan and Kenosha,
and that as soon as the railway has
been completed to Milwaukee the en-
tire line will be turned over to the
Illinois Central. This is new ssbear"
story on the railway proposition and
seems to get little credence among the
people of Kenosla who have watched
the building of the road.
In an interview given out on Satur-
day a Waukegan man claims to have
received the information from author
itative sources that President Frost,
of the Chicago and Milwaukee road,
had an understanding with the Off
Gals of the Illinois Central road, and
that these men had furnished the
money for the construction of the line
to the north. Of course the Illinois
Central is IN control of several trolley
lines in Illinois, and they are used as
feeders for the main system, and the
addition of a Wisconsin line would be
of the greatest Importance to the
company. The Illinois Central at the
present time has no lines north of
Chicago, and it is doubtful if the
company would desire to be rival of
the Northwestern for the business
of the west shore towns.
Should the statements in regard to
the connection of the officials of the
big system with the Chicago and Mil
waukee prove true, it would mean
much for Kenosha, as it would assure
the city competition in freight BUSH
ness. President Frost has stated re-
peated1y that it is the plan of his
company to carry freight between
Milwaukee and Chicago, andif this is
the fact the line would prove va1u-
able one for any southern and western
line out of Chicago.
The work on the line is being
pushed in great shape and it should
be completed as far as Kenosha by
the early part Of December.

MIRELLA WINS OUT
Captain Frank Jackson and Crew
Capture Kenosha Yacht Club
Race Sunday Afternoon
YACHT VIOLA A CLOSE SECOND

The yacht Mirella, with Captain
Frank Jackson at the ti1ler, finished
first in the annual race of the Kenosha
Yacht Club fleet held off the Kenosha
harbor Sunday afternoon. The yacht
Viola; with Bert Perry up, was sec
ond, while the old Mamie, under Cap
tain Bennett, finished third. The best
time for the twelve miles was an
hour and forty-two minutes.
The race was the best ever given
under the auspicies of the Kenosha
club. The weather was almost per-
feet but at times the wind was decid-
eddy light. The boats we're jockeying
about the starting point a half an
hour before the time set for the race,
seven boats being ready for the start.
1t was greatly regretted that the
yacht Thetis, under Captain Louis
Ferry, was out Of the race.
There was misunderstanding as
to the time for starting the race and
Ferry and his boat failed to reach the
starting point until after the boats
had started. Under the tow of the
launch Topaz the Thetis was taken to
the starting point but the other
yachts had such a big start that Cap
tain Ferry pulled back into the har-
Dor.
1t was Mire11a and Mamie weather,
and the little fellows failed to get
much of chance with the big boats.
However, the Viola, under Captain
Bert Ferry, led the way for the first
leg of the triangular course when he
was out-jockeyed by the sailing mas
ter of the Mire11a and once in the
lead the Mire1la was never headed.
With proper allowance for time the
Viola would have had the cup as she
sailed the course in just ten minutes
more time and her time allowance for
class would have been at least fifteen
minutes.
On the first leg in the first round the
Mamie lost her topsai1 but she made
great fight and for a time it looked
as if she would beat out the Viola for
second place. The best race of the
afternoon was between the Little
Name, under M. Wade, and the lingo,
under Claude Waters. It was nip and
tuck all the way round but just be-
fore the last buoy was reached the
Name got a fresh breeze and out
footed the lingo. The Wrinkle B.
and the Norman, which started with
the bunch, failed to sail the course.
The race attracted great deal of
attention and the piers we're lined
with people when the winners passed
the judges at the end of the breakwat-
er. Captain Jackson and his men
were greeted with hearty cheers as a
result of the victory. The list of
prizes will make it possible for each
boat finishing the race to secure a
prize. The time for the race follows:

( LABORFRS ARE SCARCE
Contractors Find it Almost Impossible
to Find Men to Fill Positions

Demand for labor, skilled and I'M
skilled, has never been greater than
at present, according to the employ
ment bureaus, factory owners, con-
tractors and others in a position to
know. The able bodied man who is
without work has no legitimate excuse
for his id1eness, in the opinion of
those in charge of these centers of
industry, and at the present time the
call for unski11ed labor is far greater
than can be met.
Contractors in general have felt the
scarcity of common labor, especially
on street work, grading, paving and
sewer digging, and many a job has
been delayed in consequence.
The Wisconsin State Free Employ
ment bureau has had the busiest sum-
mer in its history, and the rush, which
began early in the season, shows no
sign of abating. One or more gangs
of from ten to twenty-five men are
sent out daily from Milwaukee alone,
and where the former average for the
busiest season was 1lU men supplied,
it has run 100 and over nearly every
week this summer.
The unusual activity of railroads
in extending their lines is said to be
largely responsible for the unceasing
call for men. So constant has been
the demand that it has been pra ctically
impossible to meet any of the calls for
farm 1aborers, and in this line also
the need has been unusually large,
owing to the good crops. Building
has been active, both in this city and
vicinity, and the majority of the con-
struction men and the contractors
have been frequent patrons of the
employment agencies. Work in the
northern woods has begun and some
shipments Of woodsmen have been
made.

BY A SINGLE SCORE
Kenosha Highs Defeat Waukegan
on the Gridiron by a Score
of s to 0 Saturday
MATT0cK MAKES THE SCORE

The Kenosha High school foot ball
team defeated the Waukegan EHigh
school team on Saturday afternoon by
a score of to O. The game was one
of the fastest ever seen on a Kenosha
gridiron. For years thes two teams
have been meeting forEannua1 con-
tests, and it is claimed that this is the
first game that Kenoshassever won
from the sturdy players from the
Southern neighbor.
In the matter of weight the Keno.
sha boys were complete1ysoutc1assed,
as the Waukegan line averaged fifteen
pounds to man more, but in skill the
Kenosha boys showed'5up.A in Egreat
form. Time and sagainIth EKenosha
line held the Waukegan mer for
downs, and even at times when a
score seemed to beacertain the Keno
sha boys would stake a brace and hurl
the visitors back andssecure the ball.
A crowd of 400 people witneseo1' e
game, many rooters coming from
Waukegan. The first halflwas bat
tie royal, and from the time the Wau-
kegan team kicked offsuntil the whis-
tie of the referee called sthe time for
the half the scrimmage was on.
Neither side could gain the advan.
tage.
In the second half the Kenosha men
showed up better, and along about
the middle of the half O'Donnel1 cir
cled the Waukegan end for a fiftu
yard run, the longest of the game.
But luck was against the Kenosha
boy and he slipped and fell, and the
ball rolled on ahead of,him. Mattock,
the Kenosha half back, was right be-
hind him, and he !scooped up the ball
and carried it over the line for a
touchdown. C.eary kicked the goal.
During the remainder of the game the
ball kept close to the center of the
field, and the Kenosha goal was never
in danger. The line up:
