LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR

Mir. Editor: I am surprised that Mayor Thayer thinks it is necessary to Icollect data about Pease brook. When
 the republican members Of the court of common council attempted to discuss watersheds they we're told by Alder ilnan Gebrath that the discussion Of sites was not in order, that question
 had been asettled. and if my memory serves me well Mayor Tbayer was re
 ported to have said: Tt was up to the people simply to make the approrria- r

to kill anything that is within sight and large percentage of hunters are not very sure sighted at long range Anything that moves in the distance seems to be deer to them, and ay blaze away. The result is a large number of fatalities each season. And all that might be avoided by the adop- ton of a law similar to that proposed in Vermont.
 The hunter in the northwest very often wears red cap, for red is easi- ly distinguished at 8 distance. and it would be no particular hardship to require him to be garbed entirely in red. Such a law might prove a life saver to many Il might not be a bad plan for the Minnesota and Wisconsin legislators to follow the lead of the New England law makers.-St. Poul Pioneer Press.

No Agreement is Reached in
Regard to Reorganiza-
tion of the C. & NJ.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE ANXIOUS

While it is generally known that for
several months, efforts have been made
to get the varied interests of the Chi
cago & Milwaukee Electric Railroad
company together, from Frost and the
bond holders down, and it is an open
secret that reorganization is the end
in view, one of the sensations of the
day is the mystery with which the or
ganizers of the road have surrounded
themselves.
Everyone knows that reorganization
is planned No one knows who plans
it except that Frost, Otto r. Hansen
of Milwaukee, the Canadian bond
holders, and the Illinois and Wisconsin
bond holders must be interested. Who
the guiding genius is cannot be learn
ed and is open thus far to speculation
only.
When the reorganization viii fin
ally take place is as deep mystery
except that Frost says it is likely to
come in about four months.
Meantime the general physical con-
dition of the road has never been as
good as it is today. The service, as
nearly as can be learned, is not caus,
ing any kicks to be registered, the re-
ceiverg are practicing every economy,
they propose to maintain the road in
its present high standard of efficiency
during their stewardship, there are
many improvements that can and will
be made on the property and the earn,
ings are gradually increasing.
These facts represent absolutely all
thai can be learned of the road Just
now except that when the reorganiza,
tion takes place. Mr.. Frost will be
merely an investor and not the presi-
dent or manager of the new road.

From Thursday s Daily

kFfom thursday q Dally)
The Kenosha life saving crew was
mustered out of service for the season
just after midnight this morning and
the flag at the station was run down
and today was get away day for most
of the members of the crew, While all
of the members of the crew are expect
ed to be back in Kenosha for the open
ing of the new season the first of April
in 1911 most of them will not spend the
winter in Kenosha. Captain Fountain
however, will remain at the station and
he will have volunteer crew in readi-
ness to look after any work which may
be demanded during the winter months.
The patrol Of the beach which was
started in April will be discontinued to-
day and whatever calls may be had for
the Life Saving Crew will be tele-
phone calls. The life saving station at
every port on the great lakes closed at
midnight last night. The year has been
one of the quietest in the history of
the life saving service ON the great
lakes. For the Kenosha crew the year
has been an unusually quiet one and the
crew for the season will occupy decided
ly small space in the government rec
ords. There have been the usual num-
Der Of calls On the men at the station
but for most part the accidents were
of little note and many times the crew
have gone out into the lake to pick
up some small boat when the conditions
did not warrant an entry on the log.
The most important call on the local
station during the year was the beach
ing Of the Goodrich liner "Iowa" sew
en- miles north Of Kenosha. At this
time the Kenosha crew was kept busy
for nearly two days and the crew aided
in removing thirty people from the
stranded steamer. The rescue was not
attended by any great danger. The
steamer p. D. Armour was reported in
distress off Zion City during the sea-
son and Captain Fountain and his men
made trip through heavy seas and fol-
lowed the Armour into the Waukegan
harbor. There was no loss of life at
tending any of these incidents. There
were number of rescues by individual
members of the crew during the year,
the most noteworthy being the rescue
of Leslie Lane by Surfman John Ma
haney late in August. During the
year the members of the crew assisted
in removing five bodies from the lake
and from the harbor.
Captain Fountain declared this morn
ing that the year had been very sue
cessful one for the crew. During the
year the government has completed the
long contemplated work of rebuilding
the station in Kenosha and many mod
erp appliances for life saving have
been installed in the station.
While the life saving stations closed
today the marine insurance contracts
will run until the 18th of the month
and the regular season for the boats
will not close until that time.

The high rank taken by the Gilbert
M. Simmons library in the state is
largely due to the faithful and con-
scientious work of Mrs. Barnes who is
about to retire from the post of ibrar-

years, but the people Of the city have a
more intimate knowledge of the sue
cess of her continued efforts to make
the library far reaching influence for
good in the life of the community. It

nel to get into closer touch with the
people of the city. In a word it has
been the kind of library that its
founders intended it should be and that
is saying much. She has done good
work, the kind that lives, and the d.
rectors will have hard work to fill her
place.

DOCTORS Or PUBLIC HEALTH.

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association comments upon the
fact that while much interest is taken
and much good work done in public
health matters, yet the public has only
recently come to realize that such
work should have the services Of a
specialist Too often the city or vii
lage health officer, for instance, is a
man with little or no professional
training. The community is fortunate
IL he Is not mere politician selected
for the number of votes he is sup
posed to control at election time. What
are called the sanitary sciences have
made rapid strides in recent years,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
public Is UNNECESSARILY wiser concern
ing conditions that make for individual
and community health than it was.
The high Importance Of health as a
factor in social progress is coming
more and more to be recognized. Man
ifestly these changed conditions ought
to be met by more intelligent treat
ment Of health problems by the con-
stituted authorities. Harvard univer-
sity now offers a new degree called
doctor of public health Cd. p. HI.
The courses leading to the degree will
offer training in public health work.
The step is likely to be taken by other
institutions as the value of the new
courses becomes apparent.
