Assemblyman W. M. Curtiss In-
PRODUCES Bill for Municipal
Court in This City
COUNCIL MUST TAKE ACTION
Committee Will Prepare a New Bill
Covering the Case and This Must
Have Great Support From
People Of the County

Assemb1yman w. M. Curtiss, of
Trevor, on Saturday introduced at
Madison the bill that proposes to pro-
vide for the installation of munici-
pal court in Kenosha and while the
bill was not read in either the Senate
or the Assembly on account of the
great rush of bills in the closing
hours of the session the bill was
referred to the committee on cities
and it will be brought before the
Assembly later by this committee.
There are only a few municipal court
bills before the Assembly this year
and it is thought that the committee
will be able to give considerable time
to the Kenosha measure. C. e. Esta-
brook, of Milwaukee, a well known
attorney, is chairman of the committee
which now has the bill, and w. H.
Bell, the assemblyman from Racine
city, is a member of the committee
Mr.. Bell is well acquainted with the
condition of affairs in this city and it
is certain that he will give Kenosha
his best services in the matter.
Before the bill is sent to the Assem-
bly, for any final action it will be
necessary for it to have great deal
Of revision as it was recog nized that
the original draft Of the bill was far
from the form in which it should be
to be passed but the time for the pre-
seutation of bills was limited and in
order to get any action on it at this
time it was necessary to have it intro
duced on Saturday.
A new bill will be prepared for the
Assembly by the committee and pub
lishcd forms will 30 g7nt to ve74eslaa
to receive the approval of the mem
bers of the bar Of the city and Of the
Common Council and the County
Board. In short time petitions will
be circulated calling upon the legis-
lature to pass the measure IN order
that the court may be established be-
fore the end of the present year. In
order to get any action from the 1egis-
lature it will be necessary to have the
bill approved not only by the bar of
Kenosha, but by the Common Council.
If the Council does not desire NUM-
cipal court in the city it is not prob
able that the legislature will pass the
bill. AS the bill provides that a por-
ton Of the expenses Of the court must
be paid by the county, it may be ne
cessary to call special meeting Of
the County Board to secure the ap-
prevail Of the Board for the bill.
It is claimed BY the supporters OF
| the bill that the establishment of the
municipal court would result in the
county being saved considerable
money every year and it is certain
that the expenses of maintaining the
court would not be any greater than
the cost Of maintaining the justice
courts. Thus far there has been nc
strong opposition to the bill in Ke-
nosha, but it is certain that the men
who believe in justice being handled
by political judges, will be opposed to
the opening of the new court as it will
cut off one of the big political Offices
in the county as it will have ten
dency TO reduce materially the bust
ness done by the justice courts.

TO INCREASE THE TAY
Postoffice Employees to be Bene-
fitted by Generosity of
Present Congress
RAILWAY MEN GET BIG RAISE

AS 4 result of pending action in
congress, all postoffice and other fed
era1 employees are to receive increased
salaries, according to dispatches from
Washington.
The increase will affect all the fed
era1 employees in the country except
those ia the city of Washington. Gov
eminent employees who are to get
more money for their work may thank
their Chicago fellow la borets for what
is to come to them, as moe petitions
have been received in Wa lington-
private petitions, all of them-from
the western city than from all the
rest of the country combined, and the
Chicago representatives. in congress
have made every effort 70 get Uncle
Sam to loosen his purse strings.
The real reason for the increase is
to be found in the higher cost of 1iv-
ing. Congress, having just raised
the salaries Of it's own members is in
a pleasant and generous frame of
mind.
The postofice appropriation bill,
which is ready to be reported to the
house, will provide for an increase
for city mail carriers from $1,000, the
present minimum, to $1,000, with a
middle grade of 81, 900, through which
all must pass to reach the higher
place.
The rural route men are to get $40
more month THAI at present. thus
raising their salaries from 500 to
$40 a year.
1t is generally admitted that the
railway mail clerks are worked harder
and paid more poorly than any other
class of government employees. The
exact amount to be added to their
salaries has not been fixed, but it
proba bly, ril1 be about IS per cent of
their yearly earnings.
Clerks in all the pcstofiees of the
country are to be given increases pro-
portionate to that granted to city car
riers. The legislative, Judicial and
executive appropriation bill will con-
tain a provision which will advance
the salaries Of all clerks and other
employees IN the federal courts, the
land Offices and the customsi and in.
ternal revenue departments.

CORNER ON EGGS
Kenosha Begins to Feel the Power Of a
New Trust in the Egg Market


The man who gets his ham and eggs
for breakfast in the future will be
considered fortunate man asst is re-
ported among dealers in Kenosha to-
day that corner on eggs has been
effected in Chicago which will result
in the prices going soaring and it is
claimed that before another week is
over the people of Kenosha will be
paying SO cents dozen for eggs and
getting storage eggs at that. It is
admitted that eggs are scarce but
what is more to the point is the fact
that ]. Ogden Armour and Thomas E.
Purcell, of Chicago, are alleged to
have pretty firm hold on all the Wis
ible supply.
Under ordinary conditions there are
80, 600 cases of .thi. ty dozen each lying
in cold storage warehouses of Chica-
go. Now there is none, according to
commission merchants Of that city.
Some idea Of the shortage may be
secured from the receipts of the first
four days of the present week. For
the period ending last night 1911
cases of thirty dozen each arrived.
For the same period Of last year the
receipts totaled 1861. This shows a
falling off Of 1854 cases, or IS, O3O
dozen The deficit is even larger
when compared to the first four days
of last week. During tilatsperiod TO-
$50 cases, or col, 500 dozen, entered the
city, showing the decrease for the
present week 10 have been 98,200
sdoz m.
Prices have SCARED accordingly.
Not since 1905 have anything like
the present prices prevailed and with
the exception Of 1904 and 1905 80 cents
has not been touched. This is the
market price, the price at which the
commission merchants purchase the
eggs. The following shows the prices
prevailing on February for the past
seven years.
1901, 1870; 1902, n; 1908, 21c; 1904,
SOC; 1905, 34c; 1906, 1oc; 1907, SOC.

STILL MORE BILLS

Former City Employees Want Expenses
for Attending Meeting of Board
It is new evident that the special
committee in charge of the auditing
of the now famous McGovern bill for
extras will have some other bills to
audit as the former Kenosha employees
who are aiding Mr.. McGovern with
his claim will demand that the city
pay their expenses. Acting Mayor
Stemm, who is at the head of the COM
mittee, states that he received claim
from J. H. Flag, formerly acting city
engineer of the city, claiming SIS as
his expenses for one day before the
Arbitration Board and w. ]. Boyle,
who was formerly sewer inspector
in the city, believes that he should
receive $50 for the same service.

Muscoyy Ducks.

Muscovy ducks are very different
from the Pckins and have not proved
as satisfactory for market pur-
poses, one reason being that there
is very considerable difference
in size between the males and fc-
males, which is a disadvantage
from market standpoint where
uniformity in size is one of the re-
quirements. Again, it takes longer
20 hatch Muscovy ducks than It does
Pekins. They are not as conven-
iently handled in large tlocks, are
disposed to fly and prefer to roost
in the trees rather than be con-
fined. They are not as heavy
layers as the Pekins, but are re-
markably hardy, and their eggs
hatch particularly well, although
for some reason it is more difficult
to get a good hatch by artificial
means than with the Pekin duck
eggs. The meat of the Muscovy is
exceptionally fine Favored, and for
the size of the duck there is a
greater amount of edible flesh than
on almost any other variety

The Raking of the Green.

Many years ago there was OBJ
served unique custom in the little
town of Guilford, Connection. On
one day in the fall of the year the
women of the town assembled on
the village green. Each carried a
wooden rake, decorated with her
faVorite color, and each was dressed
in white, decEed out with colored
ribbons. 1t was a day of fete, and
it was called "The Raking of the
Green. -
Then with song and laughter and
with many a jest tins band of
women cleaned the village green of
all the leaves and refuse and dirt of
a years accumulation. When the
job was done they adjourned to the
Town Hall, where they were joined
by their husbands, and brothers,
and the village fathers. A public
banquet celebrated the occasion.
While this was not the first char
tered Village Improvement Associa-
ton in the country, it was probably
at that time the most enthusiastic,
and had perhaps the largest attend
ance. New Haven, Connecticut,
can Nightly claim the first effort in
Vii age Improvement, while Stock
bridge, Massachusetts, should be
remembered as offering the second.
More than a hundred years ago
James Hillhouse of New Haven or
ganized what he called the public
Green Association. - He raised
fifteen hundred dollars for grading
the green and for planting elms
One man is said to have donated
five gallons of rum for this pur-
pose. James Hillhouse was also
United State Senator for twenty
years. Almot every one had for
gotten what he did at Washington
but no one is ever likely to forget
his service in making the city of
New Haven classic by the beauty of
Natures Gothic architecture. The
whole country owes him debt of
that can only be paid by
planting elns in his memory. H.

A New Breed of fowls.

Every year or two some enter

such announcements invariably
elicit from the old timers, who like
to bamboozle the public by making
requirements in the standard of per-

valuable additions to the poultry
world. The latest claimants for
popular favor are the light Plym-

shape and characteristics of that
valuable breed, but with the col

Mating the Birds.

1t is best to mate up breeding
pens two weeks before you begin to
save eggs for Matching. Some
breeders mate up their pens in
the fall when they put them into
the poultry house. Well matured
coclerels and pullets may be mated,
but it is generally believed that bet
ter results follow mating well ma
tured cockercls with yearling and
two-year-old hens and yearling or
two-year-oldicocks with pullets.

For worms in fowls feed mash

tanning liberal amount OF freshly
crushed garlic bulbs, or, if you
cannot obtain them, good strong

birds to eat readily. Disinfect all
droppings with 2 per cent solu-

all litter material and thoroughly
disinfect your poultry houses. If
you leave droppings lying about
they will be scratched over by other
birds, and these will become affec-

Westward among the mountains
Lieth sparkling gem,
One of the brig htest and richest
In Natures diadem.
Cheering as rays of the summer sun
Send forth their rich, warm glow,
Forth from the mountain fastncss
Cleans fair, brilliant Idaho
Brightly giistcn the dew drops
On the owcr-bespangled hills;
Musically ripples the water
OF her many winding rills.
Onward through hill and valley
Those ripping rivulets flow
To supply the beauteous rivers,
The rivers of Idaho.
Over her sloping hillsides
The wild deer fearless roam;
In her green and fertile valleys
The stranger may find home.
Oh ye who wish to find home
l pray you westward go,
You'll find a home that suits you
In queenly Idaho.
Dotted already with happy homes,
BY rivers, hill and plain,
There yet is room for him who'll
come
And strive with might and main,
With manhood's strong and willing
arm
Some hardships undergo;
He soon will make lovely home
In youthful Idaho.
Her mines of glittering splendors
Bear each year their golden fruit,
And with a proud and regal grace
Her sister gems salute;
While those who wish TO find land
With sunshine all aglow,
Pray seek this fair and genial cline,
This CLINE of Idaho.
On the cheeks of her sons and
daugh ters
Glow the blooming tints of health,
Infinitely more to be priced
Than treasures of boarded wealth.
While those who've almost finished
Their race on earth below
Will find a solace tor their ills
In healthful Idaho.
Then welcome to her gushing
streams,
Her hills and valleys fair,
OF all the rich supply she yields
You'll have a bounteous share.
No empty barns will mock yySa1r toll,
No famine cause you woe,
For restitution finds no place
With sons of Idaho.
Then westward among the noun
tains
Seek ye this radient gem,
This fairest, brightest jewel
In Natures diadem.
Seek ye her charming valleys,
Where zephyrs gently blow
And make your home without delay
In peerless Idaho.
