New Rivers and Harbors Bill
to Be Presented to Congress
Has This Sum for City
RACINE HAS BIG APPROPRIATION
S245,O00 is the Amount Secured as q
Result CT Activity Among the Bust
ness Men of Racine-To Make Annu-
al Appropriations.

An appropriation of $4,000 for
work in the Kenosha harbor is included
In the rivers and harbors bill which will
be submitted to congress the latter
part Of this week that amount being
appropriated for the continuance OF
work now pending for the Kenosha
harbor. 1t is stated in connection
that the men in charge of making the
appropriations have decided that annu-
al appropriations shall be made for
the various harbors and to this end
the estimates made by the engineers in
the various districts have been gen
erously cut. The appropriation rec
commended for the Kenosha harbor was
$4,000 and the, Kenosha people evil
IDENTIFY gained some benefit from the
strong presentation of the claims of
Kenosha and Racine as made by the
business men s committee from Ra-
cine which. spent several days in
Washington taking the matter up with
the members of the committee. Con-
gresham Davidson, the Wisconsin
representative on the rivers and har-
bors committee has succeeded beyond
even the highest hopes of the people
who have taken an interest in the i'm
prOvement of Wisconsin harbors and
the total appropriation made for the
various Wisconsin ports is in excess
of 100000 the largest appropriation
secured for Wisconsin in many years.
The largest appropriation for new
work at the Wisconsin ports is secured
by Racine, that city being slated for
an appropriation of $245,OO0. This
large sum is to be used for the extern
sion to the shore of the north break
water
The work at Racine is similar to
the plan that has been arranged for
the Kenosha harbor by the government
engineers and it is thought that with
in few years the committee may
recommend similar appropriation for
the Kenosha harbor provided the in
crease in the business of the barber
warrants such an expenditure. Next
to the smallest appropriation in Wis
consin is given to Kenosha, Port Wash
ington having smaller appropriation.
The amount recommended for that port
is 1880 for maintenance.
A demand had been made for an
appropriation of 100000 for the har-
Dor at Sheboygan, but tie committee
was unwilling to grant such an appro-
priation and the amount named for
Sheboygan was but $32,500
There is little doubt but that the bill
will be passed early in March, but it is
possible that some of the larger APP
preparations may be cut down.

This contractor got results.

Some years ago contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once TO
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near BY.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed 10 the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
andhis men showed decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal.
The cost was small; 10c for regular
size packages; tits also packed in large
size family packages at 25c. 81

ITALIANS PROVE RET|cEN1
Decline to Give the Police Any Great
Aid in Locating the Man Who
Stabbed Louis Ponzio on Tuesday
Night.

The stabbing of Louis Ponzio at the
corner of Rowland avenue and Jenne
street on Tuesday evening is proving
one Of the hardest mysteries ever put
up to the Kenosha police force for a
solution and Notwithstanding the fact
that the police have followed a score
of clews in regards to the attempted
murder they are as much in the dark
as ever in regard 10 the identity ~of
the man who welded the knife.
| Ponzio is resting easy today and there
seems to be no doubt but that he will
recover and he seems to be aiding the
officers in every way possible to locate
and arrest the man who stabbed him.
Ponzio insists that he was the victim
of a conspiracy and that his murder
had been carefully planned and that
careful plans had been laid for the es-
cape of the assassin.
The firing of the shots in the alley
at the time Of the stabbing of Ponzio
has been closely investigated by the
police and notwithstanding the fact
that score Of Italians have been ex.
amined by the members of the force
not one of them has been willing to
give up any information in regard to
the shooting, all insisting that they
knew absolutely nothing as to the iden-
tity Of the men or man who fred the
shots. There are many Italians liv-
ing in the district where the stabbine
occurred and all of them are able to
prove an alibi at the time the crime
was committed. Many men who have
been suspected by the police as having
knowledge of the crime have been
placed in the sweat box but these men
are non committal and they decline to
give up any information which will aid
the police in making arrests. State
ments made by some of the Italians
seem to lead the police to believe that
the men who have been questioned are
not telling all that they know about
the case and for this reason more
vigorous effort is being made today to
i get into the inside of the story
Many things have been discovered
about relations that Ponzio has had
with other Italians but these all oc.
Cured in Italy. It is claimed that
some of the people connected with these
affairs have come to Kenosha, but their
reputation since reaching Kenosha has
been of the best and for this reason
the police are slow to suspect them of
being connected with the attempt to
murder the man.
Chief of Police O'Hare declared this
morning that the case had been one
Of the most difficult ones ever presented
to him for solution.

PROPERTY OWNERS MUST PAY
New Solution in Regard to Collection
of Water Rents Adopted

Property owners must insure the pay
ment of water used by tenants of their
property according to resolution pass
ed by the board of water commissioners
at it's regular meeting on Thursday
evening and what is more the owner of
the property must make a contract with
the board to secure his living up to
this new rule of the company. In
past years the water commission has
lost some money on account of being
unable to collect from tenants. This
has been especially true in cases where
one service pipe is used to convey wat
er to various apartments in single
building and it is to these cases that
the new resolution applies. The reso-
luton which goes into effect this morn
ing is as follows:
Be is resolved by the board Of water
commissioners Of the City of Kenosha,
That from and after the date Of the
adoption of this resolution wherever
one service pipe supplies one or more
tenants in the same building or separ-
ate buildings the bill for all water con-
sumed through such service shall be
presented to the owner Of the property
or his accredited agent and not to the
tenants as heretofore and that the bill
must be paid as a whole and not in
parts by the tenants.
Be it further resolved that the super
intendent of the water works be and
is hereby instructed to notify all own
ers of premises or their accredited
agents when one or more tenants use
water from one service that they will
required to sign a contract agreeing
to the change Of the above rule on or
before the first day of May 1910 or
the water service will be discontinued
on that date.
Be it further resolved that from and
after the date of the adoption of this
resolution, no water shall be supplied
to any new services until the contract
described above shall have been signed
by the owner of the premises or their
accredited agents.
Resolution adopted on regular meet
ing of the board of water commissioners
February 10, 1910.

Democrats are Badly Divided
Over the Selection of a
State Chairman
MANSON MAY KEEP HIS OFFICE

Present indications are there will be
considerable rivalry at the session OF
1.-THE Democratic state central commit
tee in Madison wAicn is to select sue
cessor to Chairman II. Fl. Manson. AT
the present time there are no less than
six mentip ned for the place and it is
claimed that all of them have sup
porters among members of the com
mittee. Several members Of the com
mittee are pledged to Mayor F. E.
Walsh of West Allis and there seems
| to be good indications that he will
/ have quite a vote on the initial ballot
| When the subject was first preached
to Mr.. Walsh and he was asked to be
come a candidate for the committee
Craftsmanship he said he could not pos
sibly accept the place but after sew
eral friends had urged him to become
a candidate he finally consented to
take the position if his friends should
elect him without any fight being
made.
Since entering the contest Mr.. Walsh
has shown a good deal of interest and
he can now be regarded as full
| fedged candidate, who will remain in
the race until the end His friends
are also showing great deal of activi
ty in his behalf and it can be said that
quite an active canvass on the commit.
tee members is now being made fol
| Mr.. Walsh. Indeed, his friends are
already predicting his victory ON the
first ballot and are saying that there
| is no doubt he will succeed Mr.. Man
son. When Mr.. Walsh first entered
the field there was some objection
raised to him by friends of John A
! Awkward, who claimed he was toe
friendly with T. e. Ryan of Wausau
and that the election of Mr. Walsh
would be considered by the people OF
the state to be a victory for the Ryan
men and would announce the ascend
ancy of the Ryan people in the eoun
ellis of the party.
1t can be said for Mr.. Walsh, how
ever, that when he was in Milwaukee
for the meeting Of the state board
j.. last week he very strongly proclaimed

the faction of the party and expressed
himself as in hearty accord with the
movement ahead with the Democratic
fight without regard to the plans OF
ambitions of either Z. E. Ryan or John
A. Aylward, limiting that because of
the factional differences which had
arisen both of these men should keeT
in the background in the present
movement of the organization of the
party for this campaign.
While there Mr.. Walsh met John A
Awkward and he is said to have said
much in his talk with him and to have

in various parts of the state that The
time had come to cut out Democratic
rows arising out of political persona

question could not be learned.

Mr.. HILL, The PEOPLES
CHOICE FOR CONGRESS

w. F. Hill, the purchaser Of the
big Riggs ranch at the mouth OF the
Applegate and who is expected here
within few weeks to commence the
development of the property, has
been proposed by his home paper, the
Semi-Weekly News, at Huntingdon,
Pa, as a candidate for congress. We
clip from that journal it's article on
this subject:
Sentiment in this congressional
district seems to be assuming pretty
strong proportions in favor Of a
change in congressman from this
district. The dissatisfaction with Mr..
Focht is founded on number Of
reasons and influence is being
brought to bear upon Past st. Master
Hill to become the candidate for
congress in this district 1t is believed
that his broad experience with public
questions and wide acquaintance with
men and affairs, together with his
national il not international, reputa-
tion qualify him to become most
efficient and creditable representa-.
tive not alone of the agricultural but
of all other interests in this district
And it is hoped that he will not re
fuse to become a candidate.
eve believe the wishes of the peo
pie should prevail in this as in al
4 matters and from personal acquaint
1 ance and knowledge we do not hesi
tate to say that this district has neve
had and cannot now secure an able

the district"
Mr.. Hill would undoubtedly make
an able and useful member of con-
gress. honoring both his district and
his state, and yet, while we know
that his election would in no way re-
tard the development work on his
great ranch near Grants Pass, his
time spent at the national capital
would be a disappointment to the
people of Josephine county.

World Approaching Its End.

few days ago that not only one
nation but all nations seemed banded

considerable degree of probability
that we may be approaching rapidly
the end of all things, with similar
results, but far surprising in magni-
tude, anything that has gone before,
that all things may be wound up, but
that instead of there being a deluge

and land them on places where they
cannot make a living for want OF
water.
We will preach the doctrine that
5, 10 or 20 acres of this land are suf-
ficent to take care of a family in
luxury when It Is properly planted
TO orchard or vineyard, irrigated and
in bearing.
We will advocate that our rich
river bottom lands are particularly
adapted to the growth of pears and
Yellow Newtown pippins and Wine
sap apples.
We will advocate that the red
soils are particularly adapted to the
growth of Tokay grapes, pears, Spit
zenberg and all other red apples,
peaches and all small fruits.
We will advocate that we believe
with irrigation the granite lands
within the next ten years will prove
themselves the most valuable for
certain kinds of fruit, vegetables
and alfalfa of any soil in the Rogue
River valley That it is the easiest
to work and can be gone onto at any
time Of the year. That 1t is well
drained and always sanitary,
We intend to advocate further that
we have no soil in the Rogue River
valley but what is valuable for the
growth of all kinds of vegetables and
small fruits with irrigation.
We will advocate that there is
money to be made by our land buyers
in raising apples, but we will be con-
servative in our statements; instead
Of telling them they will receive from
$4,000 to $4,000 per acre which is
being done every year in the valley,
even without irrigation, we will en-
courage them that they can get from
> 5000 to $500 per acre annually out
of apples, pears grapes and peaches
We will proclaim the fact that the
Rogue River valley eXcels the world
in the growth of pears.
We are going to inform them that
It has heen thoroughly demonstrated
that this locality excels in the United
States in the growth of the famous
Flaming Tokay grape.
II there was nothing else raised
any one Of these three products
would soon make our valley famous
We also intend to advertise that
this locality will equal, If not excel
