The city sewers nave all they can
do to take care of the sewerage that
comes into them from inside the city
limits and it would be very danger
GUS precedent to establish to allow
anybody from outside the limits to
enter into them. There is a large
population just outside the sewer dis
trict waiting for a chance to get in
and if one man is allowed to connect
there is no reason why all should not
be let in. It is hard proposition but
self preservation is the first law and
the city will have to take care Of its
own people first.

TO EXTEND THE LINES
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway Co. to Build Into
Racine County
MERRY WAR WITH BEGes

The Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway company plans to build an
interurban system which will surpass
in every way the system now contem-
plated being built by John l. Beggs,
of the Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light company, and Racine county
will within very few years have two
large interurban lines connecting all
towns and villages with that city.
It is the plan of A. C. Frost, of the
Chicago Milwaukee company, to first
complete the line from Racine to Mill
waukee and then begin the work of
building the interurban lines west of
Racine, and it is claimed that the new
company will beat out Mr.. Beggs in
his proposed line to Burlington, Elk
horn, Geneva and other places in the
western part of the county.
Just where the new lines proposed
to be built by Mr.. Frost will go to
cannot be learned, but it is certain
that he intends to give Mr.. Beggs a
merry chase for the interurban bust,
ness of not only Racine city and
county, but Milwaukee, Walworth,
Kenosha and Waukesha counties as
well. It is certain that the new line
will be built to Corliss, Burlington,
Eagle and Brown lakes, De1avan,
| Waterford, Rochester and other places
in Racine county. Burlington is ready
| to give franchise to Mr.. Beggs'
company, provided the company will
make certain concessions, and there
| is no doubt but that Burlington will
| give Mr.. Frost franchise.
! Members of the Racine county
board who represent towns, when
they learned that the Frost company
Intended building electric lines
Il rpugh the county, we're pleased and
al ready to assist IN getting rights
OF way. The farmers, especially in
til" western and middle sections of
the county, and merchants in those
districts, want passenger ard freight
line and are willing to sell property
for right of way.

When the town of Brunswick, Me-,
celebrated some years ago, the 15Oth
anniversary of it's incorporation, there
was a big dinner, and Tom Reed and
Nelson Dingley were present, and
were, of course called upon to speak.
Dingley spoke first, and said, in con-
clusion, that he had made no prepara-
ton, and would make way for a gen
tleman who lad come with prepared
speech. meaning Reed, who got back
at Dingley as follows:
"Mr. Toastmaster. / am sorry to be
gin an apology. Some time ago | at
tended a celebration like this in Unity,
i'll Waldo county, and there heard Gov
ernor Dingley refer touchingly to Uni
ty as his birthplace. I afterward
learned that the governor was also
born in Durham, in the county OF
Androscoggin, and know that nothing
but my presence here prevents his
claiming he was born in Brunswick
too feel like apologizing for
being here for it will hereafter be an
honor to have shared in the birthplace
Of Governor Dingley."

This tax will be levied as part Of
the regular county tax on the appor-

of the board
At the session on Saturday nearly
all of the time was given to routine
business, but the supervisors gave
up enough time to re-elect Michael
Hensgen Of the Eighth ward, as couu-
ty agent for the coming year. The
salary of the Office is $500. Mr.. Hens
gen was elected as county agent to
succeed Charles H. Gonnermann at
the meeting of the board year ago
and he has made very careful and
painstaking official and his reelection
comes as an acknowledgment of the
work he has done for the county.
The report of Mr.. Hensgen shows
that he has conducted the affairs of
the county in saving manner and
under his administration the ex-
penses have been cut to the lowest pos
sible amount.
The board has appropriated five
hundred dollars for the use of the
agent between now and the first of
January and at that time an appro-
priation will be made for the new
year.

dent at the board meeting on Wednes.

sented Chairman Jordan with a gavel.

man and declared that the gavel

ELKS PLAN TO BUILD
Local AntIered Tribe Making Plans
for Erection Of Lodge Home
in ke1asha
COMPANY TO BE- ORGANIZED

Kenosha Lodge Ne $50 of the B. P.
o. E. is planning to huild a splendid
Elks club in Kenosba during the com
ing year and to this end the commit
teerin charge of the matter has already
secured options OIL q piece Of real
estate in the business portion of the
city and the plans for the home are
now being made. It IS thought by
the committee IN cssarge that it will
be possible to secure the completion
of the new Elks none before the end
Of 1907.
The committee Is now arranging
for the incorporation Of a company
under the laws of 3ae state to have
full charge of the Building of the new
home. The stock OF the company
will probabl be $4,000 and subscrip-
tions for the STOCK are now being
made. There is little doubt but that
a majority of the stock will be sold
before the operations are started.
The plans for the new club house
include the erection Of a three story
building in the hears Of the business
district and it is stated that Jones and
O'Brien, managers Of the Bijou the
atre, are to have ioug time lease of
the lower floor of the building. It is
to be used as theatre and the build
ing will be erected with this end in
view.
The entire secoud and third floors
of the building viii be turned over to
the Elks. The second floor will be
used as club room ard will be fitted
out with par1ors, reception rooms,
card and billiard rooms and bowling
alleys. The third floor of the build
ing is to be converted into a lodge
and dance hall.
The Elks is one Of the strongest or
CARNATIONS in the city aud it is GER
tain that the club house to be erected
will be one that will add something to
the social life of the city.

Injunction is Issued to Prevent
Salem Farmers From Digging
q Ditch at Camp Lake
THE BIC DAM IS BLOWN UP
Fight Between Ice Companies Brought
Into Court When one Company
Secures an Injunction to Pre-
serve Its Property

An injunction was issued this after
noon by Court Commissioner Henry
J. Hastings to enjoin Robert Run
yard, Charles Runyard, George Faux
ner, Johu Schreck, John Borhn, John
Roe and Richard Roe from opening a
ditch between Camp Lake in the town
Of Salem and Channel Lake in the
town of Lake, in the state of Illinois
The injunction was issued on the petit.
ton of the Gettings Brothers Ice com
pany, owners of large property or
the banks of Camp Lake. In the
complaint it is alleged that the ditch
is being dug for the purpose of ruin
ing the property owned by the plain
tiffs. It is alleged by the attorneys
that the two defendants named as
Richard Roe and John Roe are the
agents for the Knickerbocker Ice
company, which also owns property
on the lake.
The injunction is the result of fierce
rivalry existing between the Knicker
booker company and the Getting
Brothers, which is an Independent
company. 1t is claimed by the Get
ting Brothers company that the ditch
as it is now being opened, will sc
lower the water in Camp Lake as tx
make the property which this com
pany has erected at a cost of more
than $4,000 absolutely worthless.
The ditch was originally built about
the 1st of September and tits claimed
that since that time the level of Camp
lake has been reduced by twenty-six
inches. The houses owned by the
Knickerbocker company are at the
end of the lake, where the water is
not affected by the flow through the
ditch and those of the Getting Broth
ers are on the other side of the lake
where the water is more shallow.
For some time the merry war has
been on, and the farmers have opened
the ditch, only to have it filed up
again by workmen employed by the
Gettings Brothers. A short time ago
the Gettings Brothers company built
dam across the ditch, and it is al
legged that two nights ago this dam
was blown up with dynamite. The
plaintiff company has instituted an
action in the circuit court demanding
that the ditch be filled up and that
the defendants pay to the company
$4,000 as damages.
The injunction was placed In the
hands of Deputy Sheriff John Mutz
for service, and it is understood that
it will served tonight SO as to make it
impossible for the farmers to interfere
with the dam built by the Gettings
Brothers company.
