THE PRICES SOAR

Cabbage growers who place. cab bage
in storage are now receiving $21.50
per ton, and while few cars are being
shipped each day the growers are look
| ing for further advance in prices,
and by January Lit is expected that
$35 ton will be paid.
There are few growers between
Racine and Kenosha who placed many
tons in storage, although several new
houses were built, yet they were not
completed in time for storing cabbage

growers who did store cabbage we're

is received for cabbage it cannot be
wondered that so many farmers have
engaged in the cabbage growing BUSH
ness, and it is expected that next year
more acreage will be devoted to the
raising of cabbage. It is also probable
that the cabbage growers will have an
exchange here next year and all sales
will be made through the exchange
and not the farmers individually.

CASE IS DISMISSED
Proceedings Brought by Chicago
& Milwaukee Co, Against JEFF
feryscOmpany Dismissed
NO NOTICE OF. SETTLEMENT

An order was received in the Office
of the clerk of the circuit court this
morning dismissing the petition of
the Chicago & Milwaukee Railway
company for the condemnation of
property owned bya the Thomas B.
.Jefery scompany2s In come ction with
the filing of the order dismissing the
action no statement has been made
of the conditions under which the
matter was taken from the courts and
the attorneys for the company have
not issued any notice of settlement
of the price for the land.
The petition was to have been heard
in the circuit court at Racine Tues
day and at that time commissioners
were to have been appointed to APP
praise the land but when the case was
called the attorney for the company
asked for dismissal.
Mr.. Jeffery, when seen this morn
ing, stated that he had nothing to say
in reg ard to the matter further than
that no settlement had been made.
The fact that the proceedings were
dismissed at the petition of the COM
pany has given rise to report that
the company would plan to find some
way to build line round the Jefery
plant without taking the property
needed for straight right of way. It
is known that the property is consid-
cred of great value for manufacture
ing purposes, but at the same time it
is known that President Frost and the
officials of the Chicago and Milwaukee
had planned for the building Of the
straighest possible line.
It is probable that some statement
in regard to the withdrawing of the
petition will be made during the next
two or three days.

Gov. La Toilette Takes up Fight
of Kenosha County Pupils
for Reduced Rates
SEEKS AMENDMENT TO LAW
Railway Companies, Even With Amen.
ded Law, May Refuse to Grant
Again the Favors Recently
Taken Away as Illegal

The farmers. in Kenosha county
and the farmers boys and girls who
are seeking to secure at least taste
of the benefits of higher education
will read at least one portion of the
message of Governor La Toilette with
a great deal of interest, for in his as
sau1t on the railways the governor
has sought to open the way for the
restoration of the student low rate
tickets which were recently put out
of commission by the North Western
railway company on the preteXt that
the issuance of these tict was
contrary to the railway rate ommis-
sion bill.
There is no doubt but that the rail
way company had legal ground for
the action taken by them, and in his
message the governor asks that the
Legislature take some steps to amend
the rate law so that it will be possible
for the railway companies to issue
these tickets and yet obey the law to
the letter. The railway company has
not shown any willingnesssto take up
the matter with the state and ii is
just possible that the company would
decline to put the low rates into oper-
alton again even if the law was
changed.
The action of the North-W Western
company in this county was the first
action of the sort reported from the
state and it was laid before the COVER
nor in a very forcib1e manner by
Assemblyman Curtiss. It is thought
possible that the assemb1yman from
this county will father bill which
will make possible the restoration Of
the low rates for students.
The portion of the governors mes
sage touching directly on this point is
as follows:
ITO remove any possible doubt as
to the construction to be placed upon
this section, would recommend an
mendment expressly permitting the
sale of tickets at reduced rates
to the companies of the Wisconsin
Ma tional Guard when attending
state encampment, inmates of the
Soldiers homes, students in going
to and from educational institu-
lions and bona fde homeseekers,
provided, however, that such tickets
may be sold without discrimination
as between persons or classes apply
ing therefor under like circumstances
and conditions.
In this connection would also
recommend that the exceptions enum-
Grated in section s be enlarged so as
to permit railroad companies to issue
free transportation to former en-
p1oyes disabled in the service and
to members of their families, and also
to the members Of families of de-
ceased employees"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-12-07

WE have the greatest sympathy for
the unfortunate who would work if he
could, but who is prevented by phys
ical disability from earning his own
living, but the buns and hoboes who
are begging living just now in this
city are entitled to no ones sympathy
or charity. They are on the road
from choice, and most of them would
rather go hungry and cold than work.
1t is only an added expense to send
them to jail. That is what most of
them are looking for, and the only
thing for the officers to do is to chase
them out of town as soon as they lay
hands on them. A good stone pile is
what is needed to make these gentry
fight shy of Kenosha, and in the long
run that is the cheapest way to get
rid of them. It sounds brutal enough,
but it is the only means of self preser-
walton for the city to adopt.

THERE is an awful wall going up

Equalization of taxes, made by the
Board Of Supervisors, the county got
boosted $40, 900, which, it is claimed,
properly belongs on the city. A little
thing like that ought not to worry
them. Down here, where the condi-
tons are reversed and the city invari-
ably gets the worst of the s'equaliza-
tion," we are SO used to getting stuck
that only a mild kick is registered

THE Secretary of Agriculture, in
his annual report, endeavors to I'M
press upon the people the Importance
of the science Of Forestry, which is a
comparatively new thing in this
country. He. says. Forestry is a
matter Of immediate interest to every
household in the land. Forest de-
struction is no imaginary danger of a
distant future. If it is not speedily
checked fseffects will sooner or later
be felt in every industry and every
home. To make these facts known is
national duty. The work of educa-
ton must continue until public opin-
ion will not tolerate needless waste or
injudicious laws"

THE long looked for message of the
President is out at last and it is not
too much to say that the document is
one of the best state papers that ever
came out Of the White House. In
dealing with the rate question the
President has surprised the radicals
and COMPOUNDED his enemies by his
moderation. His desire to be fair to
all parties shows ali through his
treatment Of this, the most important
question before the people today, and
his one aim appears to be to give all
parties interested square dea1.o
The message is of great length,
longer than any state paper ever
written before by President Roose-
ve1t but it is we'll worth the careful
perusal of every citizen who is striy-
ing for an understanding of the great
problems which confront the nation
today. The message covers a wide
range of topics but their Importance
justifies the exhaustive review given
them. The literary style of the mes
sage is beyond criticism, and through
it all runs the CHEEKY optimism of a
man who loves his country, has faith
in its future and its people and who,
in his day of power, is determined to
serve faithfully and well and ito do
the r;ghtas God has given him to see
the right.

CHANGE TN OUTER LIGHT
Government Plans Erection of Plat

Governments Plans Erection or FIAT
form for Light on Breakwaterl
AS result of the recent visit of the
government inspector of lights and
light stations along Lake Michigan
the United States government is to
erect a new protection for The light
on the outer breakwater. For years
the men employed at the light station
have met with all sorts of difficulties
on account of the gathering of the
ice on the breakwater and it is thought
that this new plan will entirely do
away with these troubles.
The iron for the construction OF
this protection is already on the
ground and it is possible that the
workmen of the government will get
here this year to put it up. In another
month the breakwater will be covered
with ice, but if the new stations are
put up there will be no difficulty.

THE action of the Nebraska bishop
in communicating some Of the most
prominent members of the church for
attending a marriage of divorced
person shows what a rigid stand the
Catholic church is taking on the
divorce question. There IS little
doubt but that other high officials Of
that church wifi follow the lead Of
the Nebraska prelate, and the infiu
ence they exert will be tremendous.
