ROADS FAVOR EASTERN STATES
Shippers Claim That it is Cheaper to
Ship to New York and Then to San
Francisco Than to Ship Directly
From wisconsin Cities.

Railroads running through Wiscon-
sin discriminate in favor of eastern
shippers.
The rate to San Francisco from Ke-
nosha and other Wisconsin points is
higher than the rate from New York
to SanFrancisco on certain classes Of
freight.
Wisconsin shippers are shipping
goods to New York and then rebill-
ing them to the coast, and saving by
the operation,
These are among the items charged
by Wisconsin shippers who are plan
ming to file complaint with the inter
state commerce commission, charging
that rates on rail shipments on trans
continental railroads from this section
to the Pacific coast are exorbitant.
A representative of Milwaukee
manufacturing company said Thursday
that under the present rate system it
is cheaper to ship goods from New
York to San Francisco than it is from
Milwaukee to San Francisco.
cit may seem strange" said he,
"to learn that. it is also cheaper for
Wisconsin manufacturers and jobbers
to ship to San Francisco by way of
New York city than it is to ship direct
from Milwaukee to San Francisco.
Practically all Wisconsin shippers who
ship to San Francisco now send their
goods to New York city and then bill
them back to San Francisco again by
rail.
"The railroad rate from New York
to San Francisco is comparatively low.
The railroads claim this cheap through
rate is due to ocean steamship competi-
tion. AS matter of fact I doubt
if there is much competition in this
regard.
Wisconsin shippers believe they
are entitled to rate that will enable
them to ship to the Pacific coast at
least as cheap as eastern manufacture
ers and perhaps at. even a less rate
! 1t is a nuisance in this day Of rapid
transit to be compelled to send ship.
ments to San Francisco by way of
New York and back again in order te
get cheaper rate than we could get
by shipping direct. Much time is lost
in making those boomerang shipments
GA low rate for direct shipment
would save manufacturers in this sec
tion much time and money and would
enable them to work up better trade
in the west
A meeting of shippers will be held
soon, when a campaign for lower
through rate will be inaugurated.

TO ACT WITH COMMON COUNCIL
Planned to Have Meeting Called Early
in the New Year to Consider Plans
for Such an Organization Among
the Business Men.

Prominent business men in Kenosha
today were seeking to get some con
certed action on the part of the bust
ness men of Kenosha to secure the
formation of commercial organiza-
tion in the city which could take up
the promotion of Kenosha as a place
for the location of manufacturing in
dustries. The movement has been
started at this time on account of the
fact that several industrial plants are
now knocking at the door of the city
and it is thought that united action
on the part of the business men would
result in these factories being secured.
The special committee of the common
council named by Mayor Scholey will
be willing to cooperate with an or
ganizatlon among the business men of
the city III an effort to secure the To-
cation of the Municipal Engineering
Company plant of Winthrop Harbor
and it is probable that with the open
ing of the new year standing com
mittee of the council will be nam
ed to take action in regard to
plants seeking a location
A business men S association in Ke,
nosha seems to be a hoodoo. Time
and again efforts have been made to
form such an ASSOCIATION, but the bust
ness men have failed to show proper
interest in the affair and the move
ments have invariably fallen through.
There is still the nucleus of the old
organization among the business men
and it is said that the officials of the
old association still hold a small
balance belonging to the association.
The interests of Kenosha according
to the promoters of the association de-
mand the formation of such an or
ganization and they hold that the time
is particularly ripe for such a plan to
be carried out.
Nearly every city in the state of the
size of Kenosha has suck an organi-
cation and while the work is not en-
tirely along the line Of securing new
factories these associations are going
a great good for the cities by simply
boosting them along all lines. Ke-
nosha is repeatedly asked to send
representatives to conferences at which
problems of interest to the cities along
the north shore are discussed but at
the present time there is no organiza-
tion in the city to take care of these
requests for delegations.
1t is probable that the present move
ment will crystalize early in the new
year in the calling of meeting at
which the association will be formally
launched.

HONEST TRAMP FOUND AT LAST
Stranger Returns Money Given Him
Years Ago by Carl Larson

An incident, calculated to give one
a new grip on his belief in his fellow
men, occurred to c. n. Larson,
Racine shoe merchant Three years
ago tramp, dirty, filthy and unkempt,
entered the store and asked for
quarter with which to get to Kenosha,
where he had relatives. Mr.. Larson,
believing the mans story, gave him
the money and thought no more about
it.
Friday a travelling agent entered his
store and handed him half dollar,
saying that he was told to do so by a
man whom Larson had given a quarter
to about three years ago. After the
agent had told the story, as the man,
now comparatively well to do, had re-
lated to him, Mr.. Larson recalled the
incident, but was non plussed to think
that the man remembered the small
loan all these years.

There is more snow on the ground
now than there has been before in
many years and if there should be a
sudden thaw there will be a food that
will do considerable damage before the
water can run off in the sewers, If
the sewers had twice their present
capacity they could not handle the
water from the melting snow if it all
comes at one time, but there is the
chance that it will pass off gradually
and the cutters and openings in the
catch basins should be cleaned out as
soon as possible so that there will be
nothing to impede the free flow of the
waters to the sewers. This is more
important work even than getting the
sidewalks cleaned where property own
eFs fail to clear them themselves and
if the street commissioners find that
it is impossible for them to do both
with their limited forces the cutters
should be attended to first.

The Wisconsin Federation of
Women's Clubs May Hold
Convention at Oshkosh
WILL MEET DURING OCTOBER

Oshkosh probably will be the next
meeting place of the Wisconsin FEEDER
alton of Women's clubs in annual con-
vention
The Oshkosh clubs are about to ex,
tend such an invitation to the fedora
ton for the next to the last week of
October, 1910, and it will doubtless be
accepted. The clubs, which will unite
in offering the hospitality of the city,
are the Twentieth Century Club, with
membership of twenty-five; the Leis-
ure Hour Club, the Study Glass; the
Wednesday Club; the Woman s Parlia-
mentary Law Club and the Woman IS
Reading Club.
The first convention of the fedora
ed clubs of Wisconsin was held in
Oshkosh in 1897 and no general meet
ing has been called there since. It
seems especially fitting that this meet
ing should be in Oshkosh next fall as
the present president of the federation,
Mrs. r. II. Edwards, is resident of
that city. Mrs. E. P. Sawyer, form
erly a president of the organization,
is also a resident of Oshkosh.
The biennial election Of president
will take place next fall making this
an important meeting, The nominat=
ing committee chairman is Mrs. F,
W. Hart, district vice-president of
Tomah.
Among those mentioned for president
is Mrs. J. A. Strathearn, Kaukauna. A
certain faction of the federation at
tempted to make her the chief exeeu
tive at the 1908 election in Milwaukee,
but this movement was submerged in
that set afoat for Mrs. Edwards.
Mrs. Strathearn is the present record
ing secretary.

TO GET EXPERTS
Hand Writing Experts to Pass on Sig
nature of nars. Mary Grant

The argument of the appeal from
the county court against the admission
to probate of the will of the late Mary
9. Grant was closed in the circuit
court late Thursday afternoon but the
case was left open as the attorneys
who are opposing the admission of the
will announced that they would bring
hand writing experts to Kenosha in an
attempt to show that the will in ques-
ton was never signed by Mrs, Grant.
This is the first time in the history
Of the circuit court of Kenosha county
that the argument of case Eas pre-
sented before the evidence was closed.
1t IS expected that the case will be
taken up early in January, but no date
has been set for the hearing. The
criminal cases in the circuit court will
probably not be taken up until after
the end of the jury term in the MUM
cipal court.

widow of the late James E. Lathrop
and mother of Mrs. James Millar, died
at the home of her daughter on Dayton
street just after nine O'Clock Christ
mas morning after long illness from
a complication Of diseases. Mrs.
Lathrop had been i'll for many weeks

fever week ago. Since that time
she had been sinking very rapidly and
her death was not unexpected. Mrs.

Patterson and was born in Michigan
City, Indiana, February 27, 1850. She
came to this city with her daughter
several years ago and had large cir
clue of friends in Kenosha to whom
the announcement of her death will
come as a personal sorrow. She is
survived by her daughter, Mrs. Mil
lar, Mrs. Maude E. Durall, daughter
living at KeWaunee, Wis, and Frank
C. Lathrop, a son who resides at Los
Angeles and who is travelling pas
senger agent for the Southern Pacific

were taken to the old home at Ke-
wannee, Wis.

rs DECLARED INSANE
G.. w. Brown, Former Well Known Chi
cago Man, Sent to Mendoza

George w. Brown, formerly well
known Chicago man, but for nearly
twenty years resident of Powers
Lake in this county, was adjudicated
insane in the county court by Judge
Slosson this morning and committed
to the state hospital at Mendoza for
treatment. Brown had been suffer
ing from melancholia for several
weeks and for the past few days he
had been decidedly hard to take care

Brown viii be taken to Mendoza to-
morrow. The unfortunate man was
formerly wealthy, but it is said that
much of his property has been used
up in seeking medical care during his

Shippers Asked to Take Part
in Fight for Lower Express
Rates in Wisconsin
FIGHT BEFORE COMMISSION

It seems probable that the complaint
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Milwaukee will prove
but forerunner of a state wide pro-
test on the present express rates in
Wisconsin, Every shipper of the
state is requested to send in his
opinion of the present rates, and the
effect upon his business. The Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, which filed on Tuesday sweep
ing complaint against the seven express
companies carrying goods to Wiscon-
sin points, wishes to push the com
plants of every shipper in the state.
It urges the utmost cooperation among
shippers to influence the railroad COM
mission to order the desired rate re-
duction and improved service.
On Wednesday the association sent
out to all it's members a circular to
this effect. 1t sets forth the need for
cooperation of every member whose
business is in any way affected by ex-
press rates and services. The eircu-
lar asks for specific facts concerning
the manner in which the member s
business is affected.
care the express rates between Mil
waukee and Wisconsin points on any
commodities in which you are inter
ested SO high as to prevent or unduly
restrict shipment of such commodities
by express and SO to handicap and
curtail your BUSINESS
EDO you send or receive express
packages 'charges collect which if
prepaid would be carried for lower
charges under the 'ounce ratesg'
"Do your express shipments receive
that expedition of delivery to which
they are reasonably entitled?
"Is the wagon service of express
carriers in Milwaukee and other Wis
eonsin cities, as affecting your bust
ness, reasonably adequate and satlsF
factory?
| sis it material to you whether the
express carrier furnishes wagon deliv-
cry for each express train, or allows
express matter to accumulate from
train to train and makes but one wagon
delivery for two or more trains?"
| While thla circular was sent to mem
bers only the association would be glad
to have replies to the question from
every shipper in the state.
The circular is but the second step
in the campaign for lower rates and
better service which the Merchants
and Manufacturers association is to
inaugurate against the express com
panies doing business between Milwau-
kee and other points in the state.

The West has been too dependent
upon the east in many ways. 1t was
natural in the early development of
the west that we should lean upon the
richer communities on the Atlantic
seaboard. There was not capital
enough in the west to develop it's re-
sources to build it's railroads or to
Ntablish life and fire insurance com
panies. But this is all changed. 1t
is not many years since nearly all the
crops of the west had to be moved by
drafts on New York for money. This
condition prevails NO longer. The diff
ferent great centers of population and
wealth in the west are taking care of
theid own affairs in nearly every way.
This segregation into sections Of the
business and finances of the country
extends very broadly. Not only is
Chicago well supplied with money for
the necessities of business and trade,
