BIG FIRE IN ZION
Buildings Destroyed Wednesday
by Fire Alleged To Have Been
Of lncendiary Origin
SEEK GUILTY PARTIES HERE

Zion City was the scene Of another
disastrous fire early Wednesday morn
ing. The Caldwell carriage shop,
and the Thompson blacksmith shop,
both controlled by Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, were completely Quilted be-
fore the arrival Of the fire de-
partment. The origin of the fire was
most mysterious and many in Zion lay
the blame at the door of Voliva's
enemies.
The fire was first discovered this
morning between two and three 'clock.
One Of the residents Of the city chanc-
ing to go to his window at an early
hour in the morning saw the flames leap
ing through the roof of the blacksmith
shop. The building seemed to be com
pletely enveloped in flames.
Hurriedly dressing himself the man
ran to the fire station where considera-
BILE time was lost in making himself
known to the fremen. The fire station
lis some distance from the scene of the
fire which took place on Elisha avenue.
near Thirty-third street, and therefore
when the department. arrived, the car
riage shop, which adjoins the blacksmith
shop was also on fire. The flames had
leaped across the intervening space, and
both buildings were burning fercely.
The fremen did all in their power to
quench the flames, but it was of no
avail.
The TACT that a large amount of in
fiammable oils and paint had been
stored in the carriage shop, made the
fight harder than it otherwise would
have been, as the fremen were in
constant danger from the exploding
cans of oil. Both shops were RACED
to the ground, the loss being com
plete.
Despite the early hour there were
hundreds Of residents present to watch
tn destruction of the buildings Both
shops were practically new, having been
built by Voiva a short time ago to run
in opposition to the shops maintained
by the estate. Voliva s outlined policy
was to supply his people with every
necessary industry in order that they
might not be dependent upon the other
factions or upon the estate.
This policy was not pleasing to
many in Zion who it is said feared
that they might lose by the action.
It was this fact, and the fact that
the origin Of the fire was so mysterious
that caused many to suspect incendiary
origin. Many, however, are of the
opinion that a tramp either crawled in
side the shop or that spark from the
forge fell among some inflammable ma
terial in the shop early in the evening
where it smouldered for several hours,
finally springing into blaze. An inves-
tigation is to be made, however, and it
is said that Voliva is seriously consid-
ering the proposition Of placing armed
guards inside of all his holdings to
guard them by night in order that there
may be no occurrences Of the disastrous
fires which have been sweeping over
the city of late.

FISHERMEN WILL BENEFIT
Local Fishermen Believe that Failure of
Booth Company is Good Thing

Failure Of and the breaking up Of the
A. Booth Company, known as the fish
trust, is considered big thing for the
fishermen of the lakes, say the Keno
sha men engaged in the business here
and at other lake ports.
It is claimed that the Booth company,
since gaining control Of the market, has
forced prices down and fishermen have
been compelled to accept much lower
prices than before the company sue
ceeded. The price paid fishermen was
squeezed down to the lowest point while
the consumer paid high prices. Tt is
said there are a hundred of indepen-
dent buyers who will operate more ex-
tensively and prices should get back to
where they belong and fishermen ex-
pect to benefit as result.
The fishermen stated that while the
reports have been issued by trusts
agents that white fish and trout were
steadily decreasing, the fish are on the
increase, because Of the efforts of the
fish hatcheries along the shores. They
claim that this cry of decrease in fish
is simply due to a desire to cover up
the increases in prices, that have made
the whitefsh and trout a luxury for
even the tables of the middle class.

The glimpse Of Mr.. Taft that the
people all over the country are getting
has been grand thing for his candl-
dacy. No one who has seen him after
wards has any doubts as to who is
going to be president in case he is
elected. That man, strong in mind and
body, active, v1rile, intensely masculine
will never be anybodys man Friday
when he gets into the White House, but
will be president in fact as well as in
name. He looks to be all that his most
enthusiastic and loyal admirers claim
for him and the more the people see
of him the better will be his chances
of carrying all before him in November.

State Tax Commission Issues
Volume Showing Sales ofReaI
Estate ia This County
COMPARES WITHASSESSMENT
Report Shows That Assessors in MANY
Of the Towns Have Poor Idea
of the Value Of the
Real Estate in County

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
Commission bound volume showing
real estate sales made in Kenosha coun-
ty during the year ending April so, 1905
and the book which is the first of the
kind to be issued by the Commission,
should prove of great interest to peo-
pie interested in real estate values III
the city and county. In transmitting
the work w. S. ellison, chairman of the
Tax Commission sends a letter to the
clerk in which he says in part: E'Al
sales of real estate recorded in the
Office Of the register of deeds from May
/, 1907 to April 80, 1908, which in the
opinion Of the statistician of the Tax
Commission are serviceable for the pur-
pose of computing true values Of real
estate in the district, are contained in
this report. The consideration in each
sale is compared with the assessment
Of the same property for the year 1907.
Sales which are not deemed serviceable
for such comparison are excluded. The
considerations stated in the deeds, how
ever, are used in every case, and not
such considerations as may have been
ascertained from Investigations outside
of the records. These additional correc
lions are excluded because to give them
would in many cases violate the con-
fdence of the person from whom the
N form r. woo coo17po6 A++op4iOy, &c
also called to the year Of the tax rolls
from which the assessments have been
taken. The ratios obtainable from the
material contained in the report can be
correctly applied in the computation of
true values only to the total assessed
value for the year 1907"
The report shows that in the year
there were PIG sales worthy of consid-
Grafton in computing real values of the
property and that the total considera-
ton of these sales was $534,285. The
assessed value of this property in the
previous year was $343,600. The sales
of city lots were given at 165 and the
sales Of acre tracts at 81.
The report shows that the ratio exist
ing between the real and assessed value
Of the acre and lot property is about
the same, but that neither were assess
ed at. anything near the real value in
the year before the report was made. In
the report the names are taken up by
towns and it shows the following re-
suits from the various towns and from
the city of Kenosha.

ONLY TWO CANDIDATES
(F'rom Saturday s Daily

The young men Of Kenosha county
do not seem to have any great desire
10 get work under the Wisconsin State
Civil Service Commission as when the
examinations for positions for assistant
state fire marshal and clerk were opened
by Secretary Hooking this morning,
there were but two candidates present.
One of them wanted to be a clerk in
the employ OF ne state and the other
wants to be an assistant fire marshal.
the past three years the Kenosha peo-
pie have taken little interest in the
civil service examination, but many of
the men seeking places have been sue
cessful. With larger number of can
didates it is possible that Kenosha
county would get quite little of the
state patronage,

The health department keeps a watch
full eye on all the milk dealers of the
city and no effort is spared to see that
the milk sold in the city is wholesome
and up to the required standard. There
is a growing suspicion, however, in
some quarters that there are other
beverages advertised as strictly "pure"
being sold in the city which are not all
they are represented to be by the ven
doris and which are quite as harmful to
the public health as contaminated milk
would be and the health department is
likely to be called upon to investigate
these "strictly pure" products at any
time. The dealers could not object to
such an Investigation, either, for should
the department find their products as
represented it would be the best adver-
tisement they could possibly have.

The real question involved in the poll
teal campaign today is essentially
whether the people desire a party in
power which does things to enhance the
credit Of the nation and develop it's
economic resources, or whether it de-
sires a party which only harps and
cavils at things. done An opposition
party has it's uses, and in many cases it
is fortunate that there should be
seesaw in the possession Of power The
past twelve years, however, have been
years Of remarkable events in this
country. They have opened the door
to an expansion of influence and power
abroad such as has not come to the
United States for several generations.
At home also they have witnessed the
creation and carrying out of great
body Of constructive policies by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which Mr.. Taft is
pledged to continue.
To dismiss the Republican party at
the present time from the seat Of
authority would be to turn the hand
backward upon the clock of national
progress. The election Of Mr.. Bryan,
with the continuance of a great Re
publican majority in the Senate, would
mean deadlock between the White
House and Congress, a persistent play
ing of politics at Washington, and
complete arrest Of all the broad re-
forms and progressive steps which have
been accomplished or inaugurated dur
ing the past twelve years. Even Presi-
dent Cleveland, sturdy Democrat as he
was, recognized the fact that the acqui-
sition of the Philippines was fact
accomplished and that even in the
Hawaiian Islands, which were abandon
ed by his authority, the duty was now
imposed upon the United States Of car
rying out with a firm hand the task
which they had undertaken. The reso-
lutte policies which Mr.. Hay and Mr..
Root inaugurated in the state depart
ment--the maintenance Of the open
door in the Orient and the extension
of our relations with Latin American
would be put in hazard by change of
administration. Only by curious
chance did the Democratic National
Convention endorse strong navy,
which is an essential factor Of Repub-
Ican policy, but is not natural part
of the program of Mr.. Bryan. Even in
the regulation of the railways and the
assurance Of equal justice to all ship
pers and all citizens, the orderly and
energetic policy adopted by the present
administration and the interstate com
merce commission would be Jared and
confused if put in new hands, more
jealous perhaps than competent.
The trouble about Mr.. Bryan's as
surance that he will be bound by Re
publican legislation as be finds it is too
much Of this legislation is discretion
ary No law can direct the president
or secretary Of the treasury at just
what moment they should intervene to
avoid panic or to save the nation from
some great financial diaster. No law
can compel Mr., Bryan to issue circula-
ton under the recent emergency cur
rency law if he thinks it unwise. In
deed, in thousand emergencies liable
to confront the nation, not only fnan-
cial, but political and international, it
is highly important that man trained
by public service and with a mind
tempered by knowledge and respect for
law should sit in the executive chair of
Mckinley and Roosevelt.

Wisconsin politicians have been &C
cused of good many things, but never
any inability to recognize the drift of
public sentiment. Witness the rush to
get into the Taft band wagon. The tour
of the candidate has shown the poll
ticians that he is the man Of the peo-
pie and from now on we will hear little
of Wisconsin being doubtful state and
of opposition to Taft among his own
party in Wisconsin.
