WILLING TO HAVE NAVY
FIX WIDTH.

Washington.-Whi Col. @. ".
Goethals, chairman and chief engineer
Of the Panama canal commission, BE-
lieves the width OF the locks. 100 feet,
ia ample for the largest vessels OF tho
navy, he says:
The engineers of the Panama canal
commission are perfectly willing that
the locks should be widened to any
extent that the navy thinks necessary.
We shall in measure leave It to the
navy to settle the question. thereby
making It matter OF naval expedi-
ency as to how wide the locks shall
be"
This will be the attitude which tho
Panama canal commission will take
on the proposition which has been req
ferred to the members Of a widening
Of the locks of the canal to ITO or leo
feet, as may seem best, according to
the statement by Col. George w. Goe-
thals today.
Colonel Goethals says that so far as
Is known at present, a width OF 100
feet for the locks will accommodate
mercantile shipping for years TO como,
and that 100 feet is ample for all naval
construction now building or pro-
posed. A naval vessel that is ninety.

than the latest battleships proposed
and could get through a 100.foot lock

and filling cause swirls which. II too
great, may result In some damage.
The question Of increasing the width
OF the locks is ono that more properly
belongs to the navy to determine. II Is
suggested by him, and II the efficiency
OF n battleship that can use the l00.foot

Quiring 40 feet width. there Is no
question that the ll0-foot lock should
be adopted. II is pointed out that thu
questions involved in any widening OF
the locks are increased cost and the
longer time required for flling. thereby
decreasing the capacity OF the canal .
and the effect on the water supply
for it.
II is declared that the commission II
ready to do whatever the President
and his naval advisers think best, as
the work at present is In such shape
that the increase in width can be mads

TO CARRY FREIGHT
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Road Fighting For Freight
Yards in Milwaukee
NEW SERVICE TO START SOON

There is every reason now to be-
lieve that the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railway Co. proposes to con-
duct an extensive freight business
between Chicago and Milwaukee, as
A. C. Frost, president of the COM
pany, is after property in Milwaukee,
along the KinnickinnicTriver, having
excellent docking facilities and where
shops, warehouses and elevators will
be erected by the company. Part of
the freight business of the company
will be done with the vessel trade on
Lake Michigan.
The fight between the Chicago &
Milwaukee Electric railway and the
Fred Rueping Leather company, of
Fond du Lac, over tract of land 1y-
ing south of Lincoln avenue on the
Kinnickinnic river in Milwaukee, has
been reopened by the filing of con-
demnation proceedings against the
property by the railway company in
Circuit Court for Milwaukee county.
According to the petition of the
Frost company the land is wanted for
freight yards, sidetracks, switches,
shops, warehouses, elevators and
wharves. The Rueping Leather COM
pany has prepared plans for the cree
ton of large tannery, to cost nearly
$50O,000 and intends to let the con-
tract for the excavating in December
and January if it succeeds in block
ing the condemnation proceedings.
The contest between the two COM
panies is one of several months stand
ing. Shortly after the property was
acquired by the Fond du Lac COM
pany, both the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company and the Chica-
go & Milwaukee Electric started con-
demnation proceedings for right-of-
way for a sidetrack. This fight ap-
peared to be between the two roads
and it was later settled.
Then came notice from the Frost
interests that right.of-way was de-
sired, but few days later these pro-
ceedings were dropped. The condem-
nation proceedings against the entire
tract is the latest development in the
fight, and there is every indication
that it will be stubbornly contested
by the Ruepings.

UP A WOMAN
Daring Robber Attacks Miss
Susie Mayer at the South End
Of EicheIman Park Saturday
SHE GIVES up HER PURSE

The holdup 1nen who have been
working along the lake shore got busy
again last Saturday night when Miss
Susie Mayer, a well-known young
woman, was held up at the southwest
corner of Eichelman Park and robbed
of her purse containing 81. so in small
change. Miss Mayer had been visiting
friends and was on her way home at
the time the robbery took place.
When she was leaving the residence
of her friends for home she had laugh
ing1y spoke of the possibility of hold
up men attacking her and she slipped
her purse into her stocking.
Just as she reached the southwest
corner of the park a man Jumped out
from behind one of the large trees and
pushing his hand in his hip pocket in
a menacing way he shouted to the
girl "Have you got any money!?
Miss Mayer was too frightened to cry
out and she told the man that her
money was in her stocking. The man
demanded that she produce it and
the girl reached down and got the
pocketbook and handed it to him
The case was not reported to the
police until this afternoon as the
young woman was greatly frightened.
Miss Mayer stated that the man was
a middle aged man, but that she
could not give any adequate descrip-
tion of him on account of the fact that
she was so frightened that as soon as
possible she threw him her purse and
ran to the home of friends in the
The lake shore precincts seem to
be favorite place for the working of
these men and it might be well to pre-
vide little better police protection
for that part of the city.

GOT HEAVY FINE
Hoogerheide Who Violated Game Laws
Fined $50 and Costs of the Action

Deputy Game Warden Michael
Hleist was instrumental in adding
$4,000 to the funds of the state this
morning when he brought Chris.
Hoogerheide, a well known resident
of the town of Pleasant Prairie before
Justice McCarron on charge of hunt
ing without license. Hoogerheide
pleaded guilty to the charges against
him, as he stated, to spite the warden
and just to spite the warden he went
to Jail in default of payment of a fire
of $4,000 and the costs of the action.
Hoogerheide was arrested Sunday af-
ternoon after an exciting chase. He
was hunting near the state line when
the game warden came upon him and
he was in the act of killing rabbit.
When he saw the warden he dug out
for home and the warden declares that
he chased Hoogerheide and a com.
psnion three miles before he arrived
at the Hoogerheide home. Then the
search began again and Hoogerheide
vas finally found in the attic of the
house. His brother gave a cash bail
of 500 for him and he was released
until Monday morning.

PLAN PERMANENT LODGE

The crowd Of Kenosha hunters who
have been in the woods about Conover
and who returned home Monday
night, bringing with them fourteen
deer are laying plans for the erection
of permanent hunting lodge at Con-
over before the opening of new sea-
son. 1t is claimed that the Kenosha
company consisting of C. H. Conner
man, Jacob Gies and wife, E. H.
Schultz and wife, Michael Bode and
B. 0. Sturges had more success this
year than any company going into the
woods and the deer which they
brought back were the pick of the
1907 crop. The members of the party
found the game SO plentiful IN the
neighborhood of Conover that they
formally decided on the erection of
the new lodge and are now negotiat-
ing for land for the site.

Spare lime Turned to Profit

Mrs. Sarah kennedyof Wichita who
! is we'll known by many of our readers
writes letter to the Guthrian TO show
| how she has used her spare time in
! raising chickens on the farm. Mrs
| Kennedy says: live on a farm and
have turned my spare time to profit.
not by magic, but by tact and work
| have found that in the country. work
only can be turned into account. "But
a thing is not worth having unless il
is worth working for"
In the spring of 1900 bought thirty
chickens and entered the chicken busi-
ness. have found that the work il
not heavy and can be made pleasure
as well as a profit.
The first year furnished the table
with eggs and sold 500 worth of chick
ems. With the money at hand built
a fair sized hen house. The second
year sold $50 worth and was able to
keep 100 hens, having raised my mum
Der from 80 TO 70 the fall before. The
third year my chickens brought Sl6S
and sold most of the old hens keep
ing the young ones. The fourth wear
sold SlSS worth and kept 100 hens, In
the spring OF the fifth year so OF my
hens were stolen and that fall 70 more
were taken. Nevertheless | sold SlS7
worth of chickens and kept 200 hens.
The sixth yearl sold $3.50. 50 worth and
kept 300 young and old over. The total
amount In six years was 1925 SO.
After the first year | considered the
number of chickens sold as clear
gain because the eggs kept the house
supplied and many were taken to sthe
poultry house, the proceeds bought
grain which with their scratching kept
the chickens in good condition.
Actual experience has taught me
there is much clear profit in chickens
and only spare time devoted
During the six years raised chick
ems have done my own house work
and canned from 200 to 300 quarts of
fruit every season. | also helped to
milk from six to eight cows which |
turned into profit by churning the
cream or getting it ready to send to
the creamery. | mention this work in
connection with my subject merely to
give the reader some idea of howmuch
spare time ! had To spend among nv
chickens.
In order to estimate the clear gain
put myself to as little expense as
possible.
! made the hen and chickens com
Portable in boxes and barrels. Some
times | had to do little carpenter
work on the same so as to make them
rain proof and keep the hen in while
the chickens run at large.
The poultry business is only one of
a hundred ways woman can turn
her spare time into profit.
II the country girl has desire to
go to the city, my advice is to put
that desire aside for awhile, subscribe
for some good farm paper and raise
poultry The proceeds can be invest
ed in an education which will teach
her to appreciate the value of
country home, or obtain good posi-
ton in the city.
