Miss Marjorie, aged five years, is

her first visit to kindergarten. Upon
her return home she grew enthusi.

her to attend the school regularly.
1T was so very nice!" she declared
sweetly. And the teacher, Miss Lea

THAT is quite true, dear" her moth

WOULD KEEP THE DANGEROUS
PLACES CLEAR BY USE
OF BOMBS.
PLAN OF OURAY MINERS
CHAIN OF BOMBS TO BE FIRED BY
ELECTRICITY AFTER HEAVY
SNOWEALLS.

Ouray, Colo.-The recent run of the
famous Waterhole snowslide, when
four men were killed; the memory of
former disastrous slides in this dis
trict when numerous lives were lost
and great property damage done, and
the Inconvenience to the mining indus
try here during the present winter on
account of the heavy snow, has set
mining men to thinking and plan has
been devised whereby it is thought
that serious danger from snowslides
in this district in years to come will
be eliminated. If the plan is success
fully worked out here, it will probably
be extended to Silverton, Telluride and
other camps where serious loss is
caused by slides nearly every winter
and spring
1t is proposed to use a chain of
bombs connected by wires so that they
can be fired by electricity following
each heavy snowfall, thus making the
slides run with frequency, but with
less volume. Another plan considered
feasible in running the slides is the
use of cannon to throw shells into the
courses of slides and start them.
The plans are being widely dis
cussed here and prominent mining
men say they will probably be tried
next fall and believe they will be sue
cessful. The SHOWS this winter have
been heavier than Tor years and slides
are more threatening and frequent
than for number of years, but each
year they must be contended with and
each winter mine operators are trou-
bled with men leaving the work for
fear of their lives.
For the last week the Camp Bird
mine has been closed, laying off about
200 men, because of fear of slides and
it only resumed work this morning
Other mine workings are closed for
the same reason and the expense
caused from these shutdowns it is ar
gued, would more than pay the cost of
employing the contemplated methods
of averting the danger.
The danger from slides usually fol-
lows heavy fall of snow and they are
started b. the least little thing. AT
present the wires of the Telluride
Power Company form a network over
most of the hills, and the plan is, be-
fore snow comes next fall, for men led
by a competent engineer to go into
the hills and plant several bombs at
the sites of slides, all of which are
well known by mining. men. Then
when a heavy snow falls and a slide
is imminent the bombs will be dis
charged by electricity at these slides,
which will doubtless run, but their
volume will be so small that with pro-
per precautions neither property nor
life will be destroyed
There will be little danger then of
further slides until the next heavy fall
of snow, when the same method can
be repeated

Threaten to Close Down

The differences between the mem
bers of the Watertown Dairymen's
association who haul milk to the Van
Camp milk condensory in this city
should be adjusted, and if not a shut
down of the plant may result. The
trouble seems to be over the prices
paid for milk this season which the
farmers claim are below what they
expected to receive when the matter
of prices came up before the con-
struction of the plant. The company
claims that they cannot compete with
the prices paid for other milk pro-
ducts which are now high in price,
but must pay on the basis of what
they receive for the finished product,
evaporated milk. And there the mat
ter stands. The association passed
resolution demanding higher prices
for the months of July, August and
September and this the company
seems inclined not to grant, and now
the association members may with
draw their milk from the factory af-
ter August 20.
1t seems that there should be some
way TO avid this contingency. We
know nothing of the merits of the
case or the dispute regarding prices,
but believe there should be mutual
ground upon which both the company
and milk producers could stand and
settle their differences. The shutting
down of the plant would be a serious
blow to the city and we believe the
farmers would in time suffer also as
it was central point to dispose of
their milk at a cash price. 1t will
mean an annual loss Of thousands of
dollars to Watertown if this enter
prise closes its doors and it is to be
hoped that some means will be found
to bring about a settlement of the
difficulties

Injured in Runaway

John Mueller, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Mueller, SIS North Second

runaway accident this morning. He
was hauling milk to the Van Camp

near West Milwaukee street, one of
the horses began kicking which
frightened it's mate and they became
unmanageable. In going around the
corner the wagon swayed throwing
Mr.. Mueller out. One wheel passed
over his right arm and also injured

More Teachers Required

At a special meeting OF the school
board held last evening Mr.. John
Stuckert was elected assistant teacher
in the high school to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Miss
Ada Hillemann, who taught last year
and had been re-engaged for the
coming school year. Mr.. Stuckert is
a graduate Of the German-American
seminary of Milwaukee, the Milwau-
ana comes here very highly recon-
mended.
The following resolution was in
troduced at the meeting:
Whereas, The city superintendent
of schools, Watertown, Wisconsin,
tant be hired, making eight instead
of seven assistants in the high school
of said city; and,
Whereas, Said city superintendent
believes that the same is necessary
in order to reduce the size of classes,
thus making the work more effective
and to assist in directing those who
cannot be accommodated in the as
sembly room; and,
Whereas, A member of the board
of education of WatertOwn, WiscOn-
sin, has written to C. P. Cary, superin-
tendent of public instruction, Madi-
son, Wisconsin, and in reply to the
same has been advised by the said
G. P. Cary that there ought to be nine
assistants in said institution and, al
so, according to the ratio maintained
between the number of pupils enroll
ed and the number of assistants in
the best high schools Of the state;
and,
Whereas, The enrolment in the
aforesaid high school exceeds the
seating capacity of the assembly room
making it necessary to seat pupils in
recitation rooms and laboratories
which makes additional work and re-
| sponsibility; therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, And the same is
hereby authorized and ordered, that
an additional assistant be engaged tC
