SHANNON-ARIzONA
 RAILWAY ASSURED

The Clifton-Morenci district was given a big boost last week when the Shannon-Arizona railway awarded the contract for the grading and construe- tion of the new railroad, which will be ten miles in length connecting the Shannon smelter with the mines at Metealf Bids were opened last Thursday and though there were a large number of bidders it seemed b be generally predicted that J. s. An tonelle with whom is associated o. J. Cotey and L. B. Elliott, of Clifton. which means employment for people of the Clifton district. For the purpose of filling the contract local partner ship was formed which is styled o. ] Cotey and company.
 Tn line with the well known policy Of that concern, the Shannon company awarded the contract to local people with the object of giving this distrier the entire benefit of the building of the new road, which undoubtedly will be appreciated by the Clifton people and business men Just so soon as the men can be secured there will be aL least 600 laborers, put to work and the flying of dirt, the sweet music of i the drill and the bomb of dynamite will ge heard all over the hills between Clifton and Metcaf. The contract calls l for the completion of the road within nine months and in order to complet', it the contractors will have to hustle. So far everything has been going ! like clock work and preliminary ar engagements are about completed. o. 1 l. Cotey and company. which is live | concern. have announced the closing l of two contracts already The first one was let to Tim Nardelli. B. Alex | ander and others for two miles of open cut work and 1000 feet of tunnel
 work. As this is a large piece ,r work the contractors have already cs l tablished their camp and are now la- 1 ing in provisions and most likely will commence work next Monlay.
 | Another contract has been let .0 | William Skousen for three miles ol ! grading terminating at the first tun 1 nel Mir. Skousen is now completing i a contract on the new railroad a; Courtland and will be here with his outfit within a short time. Neers I transfer, Bill Spaw and in fact all l., cal people having teams and iutfits will be given all the work they wanl | on the new railroad and from now CT
 there will be plenty doing for all whs | want work.
 The contract price has not beer
 made public except that the contract
 ors will receive stated prices per yart for all work. and it is understood tha I these prices range from 25 cents tt
 s1.25 per yard, according to thu | ground.
 | All tunnels. bridges and grading vii be done for standard gauge roai
 though at present the company plan!
 the laying of a narrow gauge track.
 Mir. Antonelle left this week for L
 Paso to look after business detaili and also secure a bunch of men i
 possible. Owing to the large amoua Of work now going on in this distric
 there are very few idle men to 'e SC cured and as a result there will h,
 employment here for at least 400 Ia
 borers. miners and bridge carpenter, from the outside.

Ultinatum and Griffn-Iinn properties, all of which are very similar in nature.
 The reported suiphide strike la'1 week upon the Griffin-Linn property. controlled by the Yuma Copper com @any of Houghton. Mich. caused the stock almost to double in value on the Michigan exchanges in two days, and has aroused additional interest in the Lime Belt properties.

BERTH FOR RUSSELL
Retiring Superintendent Of Keno
sha Electric Railway To Go
to Illinois Line at Once
GETS POSITION WITH ARNOLD

Willis Russell Of this city, who will
retire from his position as local SUI
perintendent of the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company on March l, was no
tilted this morning that he had been
named as general manager and super
intendent of the lines of the Elgin and
Belvidere Interurban Electric Railway
Company and of the lines Of the COM
pany in the city Of Belvidere. Mr..
Russell is to take charge of his new
Office just as soon as he closes his con-
tract with the Kenosha Company. The
Belvidere lines are owned largely by
Bion j. Arnold Of Chicago, who was
the former owner of the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company and as soon
as he heard of the retirement of Mr..
Russell from the office of superinten-
dent of the Kenosha lines he slated
him for the new position.
The new position Of Mr.. Russell is
one of great Importance and will give
him chance to show his ability as a
railway manager. The interurban line
of which he is to take charge is fifty
one mile in length and is rated as
one of the most successful railway
propositions in Illinois The Belvidere
line is a new line, but it has proven
a paying line from the start. The
long service of Mr.. Russell in Kenosha
has made him well acquainted with
the demands of just this sort of rail
way lines and there is no doubt but
that he will make a success in his new
position. During the years that Super
intendent Russell has been in charge
of the Kenosha line he has been close
ly associated with the men operating
the Chicago and Milwaukee line and
has learned the business from an inter
urban standpoint. The Kenosha friends
of Mr.. Russell will be glad to know
that he is to step into such an adj
vanced position on his retirement from
the work in Kenosha in another week.

CIRCULATE PAPERS HERE
Candidates for State superintendent
Seek Support of Kenosha Voters

The voters Of Kenosha promise to
have busy part in the state spring
campaign as the candidates for the Of
fee of state superintendent Of schools
have begun to storm the city to secure
signatures for petitions. Walter G..
Hewitt Of Oshkosh, the head of the
Oshkosh Normal, the present State Su-
perintendent G. P. Cary of Madison
and A. F. Hooper of Ashland, all have
petitions in circulation in the city.
The teachers Of the city seem to be a
little slow to take up any one candi-
date and they are dividing their sup
port largely between Cary and Hewitt.
Mr.. Hewitt is probably better known
In Kenosha than either of the other
candidates and for this reason he is get
ting many names of prominent business
men as well as teachers. The campaign
for Hewitt is being pushed largely by
the alumnae of the Oshkosh Normal
and they are decidedly numerous in
this part of the state.

BUSINESS Men of City Start Plan.
for Annual Reunion of Former
Residents of the City
WOULD FOLLOW OTHER CITIES
Public Meeting to be Called in the Near
Future to Make Plans for
Reunion Of Former Resi-
dents of Kenosha

Kenosha is getting the 'HHome Com
ing Week. fever and at an informal
meeting of number of well known
business men held on Wednesday even
ing it was decided to start movement
in favor Of the following out of this
plan in Kenosha. There is as yet no
definite head to the movement, but the
men most interested are planning to
call public meeting In the near future
to take up the matter. The Home Com
ing Week has been one of the features
of life in several Wisconsin cities dur
ing the past few years and it has prov,
ed to be decidedly interesting and
helpful thing for the towns. Kenosha
has not taken up the plan before on
account of the fact that the biennial
reunion of the Kenosha High School
Association has in manner served as
reunion of the old Kenosha residents
but the city has been growing larger
SO rapidly that there are many people
who are not connected with the school
association and for this reason it is
thought that plan which would bring
in all the former Kenosha people would
meet with success. The plan as sug
gested at the informal meeting last
night was similar to that now in force
in other cities and it would plan for a
whole week of pleasure for the old
boys and girls. In other cities the
week is given over to public meetings
while bands and carnival companies
are employed to entertain the people
during the week. The farmers in the
surrounding territory are invited to
come to the towns and this gives the
merchants chance to get acquainted
with the people of the territory sur
rounding the cities. Tt is said that the
home coming week in other cities has
proved Of especial benefit to the mer-
chants of those cities.
Kenosha people are widely scattered
throughout the country and it is Ger.
tain that many Of these people would
be willing to return to Kenosha for a
week with their former friends and
business associates. The plan as sug-
gested would be to have a home com
ing week in years when there is no re
union of the Kenosha High School AS
ISOLATION and it is thought that this
would be an ideal arrangement. 1t is
probable that the matter will be taken
up in q, more definite way later in the
year and as this is the year set for
the reunion Of the High School Associa-
ton, plans will be made so as to have
the first Home Coming Week held dur,
ing the year 1910.

TO REMEDY PRIMARY
Six Bills introduced as Amends
ments to Primary Law To Cor.
rect Alleged Abuses of Act


Six bills have been introduced in the
legislature and referred to the commit
tees on elections aimed to remedy the
evil of a lavish expenditure of money
in primary campaigns. Hearings will
be given some of these bills next week,
but the members of the election COM
mittees of the two houses do not an
ticipate that any bill will be recon-
mended for passage before the sena-
torial investigation has been completed
and the report has been made to the
legislature. They believe that the
committee will have some valuable sug-
gestions to offer as to the best methods
of limiting expenses in campaigns.
Almost every bill introduced on this
subject thus far offers method of
solution different from that suggested
in the other bills The most novel of
these bills is perhaps that Of Senator
Bodenstab of Milwaukee. He proposes
that every candidate for an office in a.
city Of the first class upon fling his
nomination papers thirty days before
election shall pay a fee Of $40 and at
the same time he shall file with the city
clerk a statement Of his candidacy not
exceeding 200 words The clerk shall
then prepare pamphlet with the
statement Of the candidate on one page
and the picture of the candidate on
the opposite page to be distrib to
every registered voter in the district.
After the election each candidate must
file a statement that the candidate has
incurred no further expense, unless it
lis for the purchase of additional
pamphlets for distribution. Punish
ment for violation shall not exceed
$500 fine or one year in jail or both
Assemblyman Kay has bill similar
in many respects except that it applies
to candidates for all Offices, town, viii
lage, city, county, or state. His bill
limits the amount that can be expend.
ed to 20 per cent Of the first years
salary, and includes in the limit amount
expended, sums spent by any relative
or fellow companion or employee. For
the privilege of having their picture
and the statement appear in pamphlet
form, each candidate for United States
senator shall pay fee of 800 a page;
state officers 800 a page; legislative
candidates $25 and circuit judges $50.
A high rate is charged for additional
matter over two pages and no candi.
date is to be allowed more than four
pages in the booklet. Eight daws be-
fore the primary the secretary of state
must mail copy of the pamphlet to
every voter. The bill further requires
the fling Of an expense statement af-
ter the primary and fixes a penalty Of
$4,000 or not more than one year in
Jail

cigar box which contained eight
punches Of keys which had been taken
from dlnerent places entered and in
addiulon to these punches of KEYS there
were a lot of oud keys and blanks. He
had evidently used these blanks to
make keys to enter the different places
The keys stolen in some of the stores
made it possible for him to return to
them for a second raid He had all
the keys to the cash register at the
store Of the Kenosha Hardware Com
pany. He had the keys to the various
cash drawers in the Lamb store and a
lot of others.
The parents Oh Bloom seemed to be
greatly surprised at the story told by
the boy and they insisted that they had
supposed him in bed at the time the
various robberies were committed.
Bloom declares that his last burglary
was at the Threinen store. Before
this burglary he had attended mas
querade dance on the north side and
he had not planned to enter the store
until he had started for his home. He
declared to the police that he was ex-
ceedingly drunk when he went into
the place anu that when Nader began
firing at him he was too drunk to stop
and staggered over sand pile Later
he managed to get to the bark piles
near the Grand avenue bridge and from
this place he went to his home and
concealed himself.
Bloom will be given hearing late
this afternoon and in the meantime the
police are seeking to find any possible
evidence against any of the boys who
are thought to have worked with him.
The police were in high g1ee over
the capture of Bloom and the chief and
his men are entitled to lot of credit
for clearing up the mystery surround
ing these periodic robberies in Kenosha.
