THERE is material for pretty row
ali around in this matter of selecting
a site for the new federal building
but Kenosha may yet be lucky
enough to escape the troubles that SO
many other cities have had In like
cases. If possible we would like to
see site selected without any con-
demnation proceedings and without
any of the i'll feeling and bitterness
that would inevitably follow a pro-
longed contest over the selection of
the site and it can be done if all the
men who have land for sale agree to
abide by the decision of ChiefsWett-

BoosT Kenosha all you can but dis
courage the idea that the city is hav.
ing any ''boom''. The growth of the
city in the last few years has been
little short of phenomenal but our
prosperity is on more solid basis
than any boom ever mad. Our values
are actual not speculative and as long
as we can keep them so we are safe.
Boom is always followed by bust and
the spectators who rush into boom

WAUKEGAN has just discovered that
it's water supply is contaminated and
unfit for drinking purposes. Kenosha
has recently had the same experience,
and as far as we have been able to
discover, every city on the north
shore between Chicago and Milwaukee
is in the same boat. They are all
having trouble with the water. This
being the case, it might be good
plan to appoint commission, with
one or more representatives from each
city, to examine the different systems
of filtration and report on the best
method of purifying the water. The
commission should be empowered to
hire experts and make such expert
ments as might be necessary to enable
the commissioners to decide on the
best system. The expense of such an
investigation would be divided among
the cities and would be nominal, while
each would be entitled to all the bene-
fits. Unless some such plan as the
one suggested above is carried out
each city will have to hire its own ex-
perts and make its own experiments
at heavy cost, and some of them are
liable to make expensive mistakes
that will cost the taxpayers lot Of
money. The water supply of all the
city must be purified, no matter what
it costs, but it is just as easy to handle
this problem intelligently and eco
nomically as the other way.

CHRISTMAS FLOOD


Store of Harry Borovsky on Market
Street Flooded by Broken Pipe
The fire department was called out
at O'Clock this morning on account
of food in the Monaghan building
on Market street just west of the
railway, when a broken water pipe
caused the lower part of the building
to be pretty well filled up with water.
The store room is occupied by Harry
Borovsky as second hand store, and
some of the furniture was pretty
badly damaged.
The members of the department
plugged up the water pipe and
stopped the flood. The damage is
about 500.

The magazines are placed in sub

the purchaser or sent to his home.

COTTONS IN CHINA
Mill BuSineSS-Yarns are in Good De-
mand.

Consul-General H. B. Miller reports
that the Tokyo Manufacturers Associ-
alton published the following state
ment by Mr.. YamanOto, a Japanese
cotton manufacturer, about the cot
ton mills of Shanghai ana condition of
trade.
The cotton mill business n Shan
ghai is making fair progress. At pres
ent the spindles in Shanghai number
about 800. 900, of which 100000 are
owned by the Chinese, 100000 By the
English, 10000 by the japanese. and
10000 by the Germans.
The sorts of cotton yarns demanded
in China are varied. Nanchuria de
10-hand. Shanghai Inland. Teintsin
and Shefoo 1G-hand. and Szechuan 20
hand, while India supplies 10-hand and
2o-hanG, and China 14-hand. Cotton
yarns made in japan sold we'll this
year. The sale of cotton yarns varies
according 10 their sorts and 10 the
places where they are sold. Formerly
Japanese yarns We're quoted below or
equal TO Indian yarns. Ae present.
however, the Chinese nave come 10
admit the superiority Of our yarns in
quality. They are therefore quoted )
or s tae!s abo:e Indian yarns. At
Teintsin, Cheef3o and Hankow. our
lG-hand yarns, GeaTer IS they are than
Indian yarns, can command the mar
ket, But Szeclaun prefers inferior
and cheaper 20-hand sort. 1t Is. how
desirable that our cotton mills
should strive 10 maintain the good
quality Of their yarns.
The trade IN general at Shanghai is
most active at present. The large
sum OF money spent there By the late
belllgerents has greatly increased the
purchasing power Of the Chinese. A
large amount Of cotton yarns and cot |
ton goods was exported from Japan
Shanghai during the war, and il is
quite reasonable to expect that the
trade will continue 10 p~roSper.-Amer- |
