New Park Hotel to Have Two
Stories Added to 1t Within
the Next Six Weeks
BUSINESS GROWS RAPIDLY

Plans and specifications have been
accepted for q large addition to the
New Park hotel on Park street and
the work of rebuilding will be started
within the next ten days and rushed
to completion. The plans provide for
the addition of two more stories to the
hotel. Other changes will be made
which will make the hotel one of the
most up to date in this section of the
city. The hotel under the management
of John f. Langan has been success
since it threw open it's doors TO the
and it has been the boast of the man
agement that since the hotel was open
ed every room in it has been occupied
When the hotel was built it was ex-
pected that it would be a hotel for
people asking a place of permanent
residence, but it has proven to be de-
cidedly popular with the travelling
public and a large amount of its bust
ness has been drawn from the transient
trade. With the addition Of the new
stories there will be twenty rooms add
ed to the hotel and every one Of them
will have bath. The fourth floor
Of the building will not be divided into
guest rooms at the present time, but
this portion will be used for sample
rooms and for banquet hall. One
portion of the room will be especially
arranged for use for dinners of pub
lie nature and this will be the first
time that this demand has been met
in Kenosha. The addition of the two
stories to the building will demand
changes in the Office Of the hotel in
order to make possible the installation
IF an elevator service. This service
will be Of the very latest pattern.
Manager I.anean is hopeful that the
additions can be completed within the
next two months and that the re-
modelled hotel will be opened about
the first Of July.

The very large growth of the Fifth
ward is attributed largely to the great
increase of the foreign population of
the city during the past ten years as
q large number of these people have
found homes in the Fifth ward and
the recent election indicates that the
foreign population is rapidly becoming
a dominating factor in the ward.
The smallest percentage of growth is
shown in the Sixth ward of the city.
This is due to The fact that much
property in this ward which was form
erly residence property has been given
over to the erection Of great factories.
The growth in the other wards has
been steady and it is about in keeping
with the general percentage of growth
in the city.
The figures on the population of the
entire state are of more than passing
interest to the people of Kenosha.
The total population of the state is
1888, $50, as compared with 1909, O42
in 1900, a gain of 264,818, or 12.S
cent.
Milwaukee increased SS,542 in the
decade, but the most remarkable gain
of all the incorporated places in the
state was made by Kenosha, which
nearly doubled in size. Among the
cities making large gains are Superior
Racine, Madison, Oshkosh, Green BAY.
Fond du Lac and Lacrosse. Marinette
lost in population, as did a number OF
smaller cities and towns.
In Wisconsin, as elsewhere, during
the decade the drift of population was
from the rural districts to the cities.

MANY CHANGES ARE MADE
New President of the Board Makes
Short Inaugural in Which He Urges
Members to Work for the Best In
terests of the Schools.

William J. Threinen was formally
inaugurated as president of the re-
organized board of education at an
adjourned meeting held at the city
hall on Tuesday evening and with his
formal induction into office committees
were named for the new year and the
board is now ready to get down to
work. Little business of Importance
came before the board at the meeting,
but the May meeting promises to be a
decidedly important one. The new
committee on buildings and grounds
headed by Commissioner Sullivan was
ordered to make an effort to get a
conference with the city council and
if possible make some provision for the
immediate starting of work on the
building Of the proposed addition to
the Frank school. The board received
reports from the various schools which
showed conclusively that more room
would be needed when the schools
open for the new school year and if
possible the work of building the ad-
dition will be well under way by that
time.
In opening the meeting President
Threinen delivered a short inaugural
address. He said:
Gentlemen:-

mittees, every one Of you have some
thing to Istfartn anu I h3pe ttlgat each

interests of the schools Of the city. /

in harmony with the common council
for we as we'll as the members Of the
council are servants of the people.
There is nothing to be gained by each
pulling a different way We have a
grand place to hold the sessions Of the
board now. Mayor Scholey and the
members of the council want the school
board to hold their meetings in the
council room. Their home should be
our home. Then why not work to-
gether. One more word to the com
mittees Attend your committee meet
ings SO you will become familiar with
the school system. Also attend every
meeting Of the board so that at the

stand for Tucson have population of 98,983, while the counties that may be lined up for Phoenix, have but 4,509, giving Tucson mum. erical advantage of 4,474 in the enumeration from which the voting population is drawn The figures of the last election are not avail able; but as a rough guess the ad- vantage of Tucson in the total vote would be in the face of it about 2500.
 But do Tucson and Bisbee believe that Phoenix will lay down in the face of that apparent majority? Those people over in the Salt River Valley are alive. They are scrap pers and hustlers from taw. They have the know how, and they are ready ever to exert it. And they are broad and liberal Just size up the advertisements in the Phoe nix and the Tucson newspapers and note the difference. In the Phoenix newspapers there are half page ad vertisements galore. In Tucson there are two or three moderately liberal advertisers, but all together they make no better showing in that way than 1t does any one of a dozen establishments in Phoenix. The advertising columns of their newspapers are the best guages of of the capacity, energy and effect iveness of community. By that standard THE OASIS presents the prediction that the Tucson and Bisbee bunch will never move the capital from Phoenix.

So by population of counties Phoenix has lead of 1574. But when it comes to calculation of he voting population there will be something of subtraction from the total for Phoenix.

THEY WILL NOT GET IT.

The Bisbee Review has taken umbrage at the action of the terri torial Board of Control in location of the territorial highway from Douglas to Phoenix, passing Bisbee to one side, and taking the shortest, most natural and easiest route, least costly to build and less ex- pensive in maintenance than any other; and the Review has raised anew the old cry against the hog gishness of Phoenix, coupling with the same proposition to inaugur- ate capital removal scheme, and take to Tucson the seat of govern ment. To this the Tucson news papers have assented and they have begun to discuss seriously the proposition, as though the scheme were feasible and possible.
 There are many reasons why the proposition of the Review cannot be carried into effect. In the first place Phoenix is the natural center of the territory, and the entire railway system of the new state, in operation and prospective, con verges there. That city is most easily reached from all parts of the territory, with the least inconveni- ence to the greatest number of those who may have occasion to go to the state capital for any reason. Tucson would be more convenient for the people of Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, Gila, Graham and Green lee counties, but for all the rest of of the territory it would be out of the way and inconyenient. As be- tween the counties noted above and the rest of the territory there is very little difference in popua- tion. Taking the counties recount ed above the census of 1910 shows total population as follows:

BLOODY BATTLE
TAKES PLACE AT
Spring VALLEY

The Lovelock Tribune says: Ac-
cording to a report received here a
bloody battle occurred in Spring
Valley last Tuesday, one of the
eombatants was shot in the head,
receiving a scalp wound, while an
other was beaten up so badly that
he had to be taken to the county
hospital.
According to the report, the
trouble occurred in front of the
saloon in Fitting and was between
the Foberly brothers of Spring
Valley on one side, and Con Ken
nedy of Rileyville on the other.
Kennedy accosted the Foberly broth
ers, and accused them of jump
ing some mining claims of his at
Bileyvile. This led to a bitter
quarrel, and the men stepped out
side the saloon.
Con Kennedy drew a gun and,
aiming it at Frank Foberly, shot,
and the bullet struck him near the
center of the forehead. 1t glanced,
however, in miraculous manner
and caused only a scalp wound. 1t
is said that Mike Foberly then
seized Kennedy, and threw him to
the ground, taking his gun away
from him and beating him over the
head with it.
Kennedy's features were badly
disfigured He made his way tc

According to report, the Foberl,
brothers are not quarrelsome, bu

HELPING WIDOWS
~~e~~VN~A~o~~~~~ .

The Missouri legislature enacted
at its last session a bill for helping
widows which has Just come into
force. Any widow in Missouri who
is left with children to bring up
is entitled to a pension of $40 per
month for the first child attending
scnool, continuing until the child
IS of the age of IA, and IS a
month for each other child-the
pension is conditional on her main
tanning a home for the children and
knoping them in school up to IA
years old.
TIE administration of the law Is
left in each county to the judge of
the juvenile court, if there be such
an officer.
Kansas City, the Kansas City
Star tells us, has put the law into
effect, as part of Jackson county
Judge Porterfield is the juvenile
Judge and he has worked out the
necessary plans. Each application
for widows pension must fill
out the answers to a set of printed
questions as to her circumstances,
and hand them to the judge. The
juvenile court officer investigates the
widows circumstances and reports
them to the Judge.
He interprets the law to mean
| that the widow shall stay at home
and keep her children off the
streets but the Judge advises her
to take in family sewing or wash
ing or like work consistent with
her place as house mother. But
keeping the children in school up
to IA years old is a necessary con-
dition.
Here is another instance of the
growing desire of the community
to assume some part of the bur-
| den of it's weak members-not only
from admission of claims of broth
erhood, but from recognition of the
gain from the higher standard OF
efficient labor resulting from the
better and more prolonged education
of the young.
