1t looks very much at present as II
the proposition to build an electric road
from the lake regions of Kenosha coun-
ty to this city which is under discus
sion at this time is only bluff and is
merely weapon in the hands OF the
railway promoters to force an entrance
TO the city of Waukegan for the road
on favorable terms but the value of
such a road to Kenosha is so apparent
that even the smallest opportunity to
secure one should not be overlooked. LII
would be good policy for the merchants
and business men of Kenosha to make
an effort to convince the railway people
that it would be very profitable In
vestment to come into Kenosha wheth-
er or not the company gets what it IS
after from Waukegan. There is no
question but that they are losing
much valuable trade through lack OF
transportation facilities for their Gus
toners in the western and central parts
of the county, that trade which proper
ly belongs here and which should be
easily secured by the home merchants
goes elsewhere and will continue to do
so until present conditions are remedi-
ed by the establishing of direct COM
munication at short intervals between
Kenosha business men and their GUS
toners west of the city. 1t is said that
the farmers now want the road built
TO Kenosha and if that is the case it
should be possible to secure the right
Of way on terms that would make an
electric line a paying proposition for
investors from the start. The thought
that the proposition to build to Ken
Osha was merely a bluff to force a
neighboring city to terms will not ap
peal very forcable to Kenosha people
but that should not prevent them from
presenting the claims of this city for
consideration in the most favorable
light.

Kenosha is already beginning to re-
reive the benefits of the interest shown
In the competition over the sale of the
Red Cross holiday seals and the visit
ing nurse whose services are given free
for one month by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis society is already at work
in the city. Of course a beginning on
the work that should be done in that
line can hardly be made in month s
time in a city the size of Kenosha but
the visit of the nurse to Kenosha will
prove of great value aside from the
actual work accomplished in the short
time allowed. 1t is expected that the
value of. the services rendered by visit
ing nurses will be so clearly demon
strated during this month that the peo-
pie of the city engaged in charitable
work will see the necessity of having
a nurse on duty all of the time in Ken
osha in the future. In no city in the
state is the need of such service great
err or more apparent han right here in
Kenosha and the city could we'll afford
to employ visiting nurse to work
either independently or in connection
with the health department as means
of safeguarding the health of the PEG,
pie of the community. The work that
these nurses do can be done through no
other agency for they seek out cases
of want and disease seldom found in
the ordinary routine of the health de-
partment and the lessons in the pre-
vention and care of disease, in the beau
ty and necessity of cleanliness, and in
higher standards of living they teach.
can be impaired in no other way. There
is no physician in the city who cannot
give anywhere from one to dozen
cases coming directly under his own
observation where the services of a
visiting nurse would have been of in
estimable value, Almost every city in
the state which has ever had an OBJ
portunity to observe the work done bv
the visiting nurse now has one or more
of them constantly employed and the
results of their systematized supervis-
ion is shown in marked Improvement
in general sanitary conditions not to
mention the value of their services in
individual cases or in preventing the
spread of contagious diseases.

Cook Lands For State Park.
dubois Courierl

Hon. S. b. Elliott, memb of the State
Forestery Commission, has very probab-
ly finished his inspection of the Cook
lands, which the Courier recently referred
to as noble relic of the Pennsylvania
forests which many were hoping the state
would decide to purchase, and save it
from the lumbermsn's devastating AK.
And it is expected that he will soon have
a report to submit to the governor and
forestry department, upon which bill
can be formed for presentation to the
present legislature. The Courier has no
hesitancy in anticipating very strong en-.
dorsement by Mr.. Elliott of a proposition
for the state to buy.
The great attractiyeness, of this estate
and incentives for preserving it for the
enjoyment of the people, was discussed
recently, and since that time NJ. /. Nc
Creight, one of the original advocates of
purchase and preservation, has again
visited the tract and developed some
puotoRIdPnlO NleWs-tdheu WIN MS own
camera and by himself A collection of
these views are being displayed in the
window at Hays corner drug store, and
they will help to interest almost any body
who inspects them in the call in this Sec
tion for permanent preservation. Con-
servstion is in one sense like charity-it
begins at home.
Aside from beauty, park pleasure and
gain in growth of timber. this tract
of forest land is of inestimable worth to
large district in the western part of the
state as protection to the water supply.
1t remains 9s almost the sole natural res
yoir in Pennsylvonia west of the Allie
gheny mountains.
Let the members of the Legislature
know that you want them to become in
terested in the report that is to be made
by Mr. Elliott on this Cook property.

before the citizens, and after con iderable
discussion, a committee was appointed,
consisting of Hon. Charles A. Randall,
F. r. Lanson and L. ]. Hopkins, and in
structed to meet Mr.. Collins, talk over
the plans and conditions upon which he
would come here with his road. At the
same time the following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the meeting and
a copy transmitted to Mr.. Collins:
Resolved, That the citizens of Tionesta
Borough greatly appreciate the public
spirit manifested by T. d. Collins, Esq.,
in his efforts and proposition made to the
citizens of said borough to extend his
railroad from Nebraska, Pa, to Tionesta,
aud to assure him that our citizens, as
man infested by their meeting here this
evening, feel that III ~ will do everything
In their power to bring about the extern
sion of said road, and to co operate with
him to that eud. feeling assured that un-
der the management of Il. ID. Collins it
will be a success.
Pursuant to instructions the committee
met the citizens again at the court house
on Monday evening to give its report,
which was in substance as follows:
Mr., Collins designated the route which
his proposed extension would follow from
the Green township line to the rivek
bridge in Tionests. He would want to
occupy the east side of Elm street, inside
the curb, from Moses Hepler's lot to the
corner of Elm and Bridge streets, thence
down Bridge street to the river bridge;
thence forming loop by running back
to and up Walnut street and connecting
again with Elm street between the two
national banks. He would expect the
citiz.ns 10 secure the right of way over
this route at their expense, and in taddi-
ton would require the citizens to raise
and pay over to him the sum of ten
thousand dollars. He would be willing
to sign an agreement not to run any
steam locomotives on the borough streets,
but would adopt the motor cars and pow
er exclusively on said streets.
These points were discussed pro and
con, but no definite conclusion was ar
rived at, and another committee, con-
sisting of F. r. Lsnson, Il. M. Herman
aud S. s. Sigworth, was appointed, whose
duties shall be to confer with the Borough
Council and the citizens generally as to
the possibility of meeting these condi-
tions; to also again confer with Mr.. Col
Inns on the subject, and report at a citi-
zens' meeting called for one week from
next Monday night, 3Oth inst.
