Government Agent to Examine Pro-
posed Sites for Public Building
Supervising Architect Taylor said
Monday that he would announce next
week the name of the special agent
who would be sent to Wisconsin to Sc

purchase of which was authorized by
congress at the last session. Sites
are to be selected in seven cities in

WATERFOWL, and Waukesha. In three
of these places, Kenosha, Manitowoc

TO MILK BY MACHINE

Fifty Cows in Seven Minutes to be the
Record of the Werner Farm
kenosha farmers are to witness a
practical test of the new improved
milking machines, as DR.. r. G. Werner
OF Chicago, who recently purchased
the Wells farm in the town of
Pleasant Prairie has arranged for the
installation of twenty-five milking
machines at the farm. These ma
chimes are said to be remarkable and
it is claimed that twenty-five ma
chimes will milk fifty COWS in seven
minutes. Each machine milks two
cows.
Thus far Notwithstanding the fact
that Kenosha county is one the big
dairy counties of the state, the milk
ing machines have not been given
trial IN the county.

MAY REVIVE OLD TRIUMPRs

football the game lis one Of the
finest, If not absolutely the finest
sport for the development of young

G. P. Hutchins, the new athletic
director at the University of Wiscon-
sin, who has just arrived at Madison.
ready to assume his new duties at the
opening of the fall semester. "The
best physical development, he said,
/ does not mean the highest ability TO
lift or throw great weights; it does
not mean merely the greatest accuInu-
lation Of Drawn. 1t means the devel-
opment of the muscles to answer
promptly aud accurately TO the dictate
or the mind, just as the best mental
development is that which fits the
mind to respond to the will, and the
highest moral development is that in
which the will responds to the prompt
ings of conscience. F otball develops
in young man all of the best quail
ties-strength, speed, thesright sort
of courage, quick thinking, the abso-
lutte obliteration of self, and the CO.
ordination of muscular effort.''
in carrying out the provisions of
the recent athletic confere ce OF the
college section of the North-Central
Committee of the American Athletic
Association, all inter collegiate ac-
tivities, as we'll as those confined to
the student body at Wisconsin, will
be regulated by the department of
| physical training, which now en-
braces both indoor and outdoor work.
| The provisions of the conference are
! too we'll known to require repetition.
AS heretofore, the members of the
| freshman and sophomore classes, who
have compulsory gymnasium work,
will be privileged to substitute work
in the other branches of indoor and
outdoor sports to the extent that the
work elected shall be equivalent.
! Zone method on which we shall de-
pend largely for getting out the main
body of the men for athletic work, is
competition between the various col
1eges in the university. believe in
competition. We hope by pitting the
men of the colleges of engineering,
law, agriculture and letters against
each other in teams for the various
sports, to stimulate o even greater
and more general il crest and en-
thusiasm all the men in those various
departments. The cross country work
will be one of the first branches of
athletics, after football, to be organ
lied. Then there will be the basket.
ball, gymnasium and track teams,
baseball mines, crews, hockey and ten
nis-a sport which many men not fit
ted for other sports can enter, since it
takes different form of nervous or
gauization. Other sports that have
never been developed here admit of
possibilities, such as association foot
ball and lacrosse. These are among
1.-The physical possibilities for the fu-
ture development of the department.
Taken all together, these sports give
a good many avenues for the develop
ment of young men aside from the
regular gymnasium class work. =

PROTEST WAS FILED
People Protest to the Mayor and
Council on Condition Of Dirt
Roads Within the City
ROADS ALMOST lMPASSABLE
Gas. Sewer and Water Men Have Left
the Roads in Such a Condition that
They are Unsafe for Use and
Something Must Be Done

A decided protest is being made to
Mayor German and the members If
the common council on account Of
the condition of some of the dirt
streets within the city limits of Keno
sha and it is declared that at the
present time these streets are all but
impossible and when the winter
months set in and the mud gets deep
these streets can not be used. Gas
men, water men and sewer men have
attacked these streets during the last
year and they have been left IN an IN
safe condition. Nearly all of the time
OF the street commissioners has been
given to the care of the paved streets
and the unpaved streets have been
left to their fate. Accidents have
been repeatedly reported as a result
of the condition of the streets and
if something is not done to improve
these conditions before the coming of
the winter months the city may be
forced to act as defendant in several
suits for damages for personal in.
juries.
Some of the dirt streets in the down
town portion Of the city will be paved
before the winter sets in, but particu-
lar attention is called to the condi-
ton of West Market street. This is
one of the most largely travelled
thoroughfares in the city but is never
in condition for use. Physicians who
are often forced to use the street after
night fall claim that it is impossible
to drive faster than a walk on the
streets without danger of accident.
In the past few weeks many sugges-
tons have been given the members
OF the streets and alleys committee of
ways of improving these streets but
it seems that the city is so short of
money that it has been impossible to
accept any of these suggestions.
However, something must be done and
done at once and at the next meeting
of the council it is expected that this
matter will betaken up. The proper
ty owners on the different streets have
asserted their willingness to stand
any reasonable expense that may be
incurred in the repair of the streets
and it will be up to the council to act.
In the meantime Kenosha in getting
the reputation of having, the worst
dirt streets to be found ia this section
of the state.
Another thing that is causing no
end Of kicking is the action of the
street commissioners in throwing
the filth from the catch basins on the
streets. Notwithstanding the re-
peated protests of the property owners
this plan is being continued 'oand it is
feared that the dumping aof this
refuse will become menace to public
health. This matter has1 been taken
up by the health officer and lie will be
expected to take some immediate
action to have this refuse hauled
away to the public dumping ground.

City Attorney Asked to Arrange to
Submit Municipal Ownership
Question to the People
BONDS FOR $40, 600 NEEDED
Com mittee is Convinced That the City
Council Will Favor the Plan
to Submit the Question
to the People

z. II. Stemm, chairman of the
municipal ownership committee Of the
city council, has asked City Attorney
Slater to make arrangements to pre-
sent the question of issuing bonds
for the building of municipal light
ing plant to the voters at the coming
general election in order to save the
cost Of special election for this
purpose. It is expected that the mat
ter will be brought up at the meeting
of the council this evening,if the civ
attorney is ready to give his opinion
at that time. The work of the com
mlttee is all but completed as the
estimate Of the cost of the plant has
been secured and the members of the
committee are convinced Ithat the
plant is now an important subject.
For time it was thought that the
council would be able to raise money
enough with the regular tax levy to
form nucleus for the plant, but the
demand made by the school board is
so large that this plan will be an i'm
possible one and if the municipal
plant is to be built the city will be
forced to issue bonds in the sum of
SAC. OC0 to provide for the expense Of
the plant.
When seen this morning Mr.. Stemm
stated that he believed that the
council would be in favor Of taking
immediate steps for the building of
the plant and that he has received
personal assurances from a sufficient
dumber of the aldermen to secure the
success of the project when it was
brought to vote before the council
The contract with the Kenosha Gas
and Electric company will not expire
for some time but if the municipal
plant is to be built the committee ap-
preciates the fact that no time can be
lost and the question must be SUBJ
m1tted to the voters at once, In the
past the vote on bond issues in Keno
sha has been against the issue of
bonds but it is thought that the pee
pie will be sufficiently in favor Of
municipal lighting plant to vote to
@AAS HNOAASAA li4N AASS IA W ISSUE Tic
bonds. The council has been con-
sidering plan Of issuing bonds for
school purposes but with the large.
increase in the assessed valuation Of
the property in the city it is thought
that sufficient money Gamble. raised by
the regular taxes to get the demands
Of the school board andi to pay the
running expenses of the,city.
The roll has not as yet been fully
added up, but City Clerk Harrington
stated this morning that!hea did not
think that the tax levy would be over
eleven mills.
Should the people vote to issue
bonds for the building of theEmunici-
pal plant, it will be anaeasy matter to
have the plant installed by the latter
part Of next year, as it is known that
several companies are willing to take
the contract for installing the plant
at the figures made by the Milwaukee
Engineering company.
