RIVAL FERRY COMPANY is
FOUR-FLUSH, SAYS ELLIS
Alderman Points Out Enormous Cost
Of Building and Equlpping Boats
Breitmeyer Confers With Gray.

Aid. George Ellis. OF the Fifteenth
ward. one of the members OF the coun.
Gil who has refused to be stampeded
ferry fares and service, is inclined to
regard the talk of a new ferry com
pany TO cun Belle Isle boats next sea-
son rs largely In the nature of a four
flush.
There will not be any competing
company when the time comes" says
Ellis. Such a ferry feet has to be
built up, and 1t takes all the different
kinds OF service given by the company
the Windsor service. Bots Blanc
trips. Belle Isle service, pleasure rides
and moonlight excursions-to make
the venture profitable. The company
can now send It's boats where the trend
of travel is greatest and thus get a
TO Belle Isle only.
In the first place, people must
wake up to what the cost of ferry
service is. Vessels of the type of the
Pleasure cost $150,000 each. complete.
1t takes four for that service in the
height OF the season, and it must be
remembered that a company has to
have enough capacity TO handle the
maximum travel
Then there is the item OF dockage
and buildings. The city has no avail
able dock except the public lighting
commission. The other city docks are
too narrow to permit OF vessel using
them without overlapping over the ad-
joining private dockage. The buildings
on the docks cost some money, too, and
IL costs a good deal TO outfit the boats
and run them in the early stages OF
the season until the money begins to
come In rapidly
Talk of a small company taking
over the service is foolish. 1t might
be able to furnish service on some
days but would be simply swamped on
big Sunday or holiday. II Is not
worth while to talk of buying other
boats for they are not to be found on
the lakes or coast of the type required
here. These boats must be built to
fit local conditions. Ordinary lake pas
senger boats could not handle the
crowds properly and would be unable
to turn around at the island end OF
the run"
Aid. Ellis is an experienced VeSSei-
man and knows whereof he talks in
discussing this matter. He has an
alyzed the fare conditions and finds
that the change in fares asked by the
company would make very little differ
ence to the general public.
Mayor Breitmeyer had long talk
with Attorney Robert T. Gray, repre-
sentative OF the ferry company. Sat
urday morning, and 1t may be that the
mayor will get into the game again
soon.
Aid Watson, chairman of the coun-
ell ordinance committee, has stated
that the ferry company will have to
show disposition to compromise
with the city council by next Tuesday
night or negotiations will be opened to
bring a rival line here.

Severe Wind, Rain and Snow Storms.

The wind, snow and sleetstorm, which
commenced Sunday afternoon and ragged
about forty EIGHT hours left a trail of suf-

regions where the blizzard was severest.

Missouri, Oklahoma, Indiana and Ohio the
precipitation was heavy. All over Illinois
snow was more than six inches deep. The
region between Memphis, Tenn, and Buff
fulo, N. Y, was almost entirely covered
with sleet. The slowness with which the
storm moved was remarkable. Before it
reached the St. Lawrence Valley the storm
had lowered over the same place for about
seventy-two hours.
Extensive damage was done by wind in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Alabama.
The cold wave was general over the
South and snow fell in Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and other States. Much dam
age was done in both Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi. The storm blew down church

wounded ten others. One person was

THE EXAMPLE OF WASHINGTON.

Another anniversary of the birthday OF
Washington finds this people still not ABOVE
the need of taking heed OF the lessons OF
his great life. His power to accomplish
the large tasks, military and POLITICAL
which circumstances put in his way, with
q nlacid manner for sober ends: entities
him to be regarded as one OF the worlo
illustrious characters. Hegained important
national objects by patience, forbearance
and that rarest of all personal traits, COM
mon sense.
Washington was enabled to create the
nation amidst the severest difficulty. In
the process he had to brave and overcome
the hostility of leaders who had different
if not very much less patriotic objects IN
view. He confronted and steered his way
successfully amid all obstacles while per-
forming the more obvious task of over
throwing strong armed foe. Such re-
suits are not easily achieved, it needs not
be said to any one who has the most super
fetal knowledge of the history of our
Revolutionary War period. 1t could not
have been achieved at all except by quiet
perseverance in methods which were sober,
tactful and wise at every point.
1t is not necessary to go to any other
quality in Washington's character in search
of a lesson for the observance of his one
hundred and seventy-seventh birthday
anniversary next Monday. The nation to-
day needs nothing so much as the Father
of his Country's wonderful ability to do
right without standing on some pedestal
brandisfing his sword and telling every
body about it in nosy tones. He went on
patiently discharging his duty day by day,
as each problem presented itself to him, in
sense of loyalty to himself, his country
and his God. The praise or blame of this
or that man or class of men led to no de-
Election in his course. He had large OBJ
jects always in, view toward which he
tended constantly, as he saw the way clear
and the opportunity offer for advancement.
He never retreated; when he could not go
forward he waited in good temper or turned
to attack the line at another point.
washington HE teacneS us 10 nave
faith in the old ways-to be wise in our
judgments, sober in expressing them,
tactful in executing them, to the end that
what we shall do shall be worth doing and
shall then be done right. After all, is
there anything better under the sun than
this? The ability to do the work of the
world with dignity and in the unruffled
spirit of Washington, both in our private
and public life, would make US much
more admirable nation of men.
