ST. CLEANING IN MILWAUKEE
(By Carl D. Thomson

Four of the most moderu street
flushing machines have been purchas-
ed and put to work on the city streets
in Milwaukee. Each Of these ma
chimes carries gasoline engine
which is operated in connection with
the tank of water IN such a fashion
as to give the stream great force
when directed upon the pavement.
| They operate in the down town dis
tricts during the night when the
traffic is least and in the outlaying
districts during the day time.
In spite of the fact that the pave
ments Of Milwaukee have been for
many years a very inferior quality,
making the task of street cleaning
an unusually difficult one on that ae-
count. nevertheless the results of the
new systems are all very noticeable,
and street superintendent HandIey
is making further improvements in
the work all the time.
| The introduction some months ago.
of receptacles for the street sweep
ings has disposed of many unsightly
piles of dirt that used to appear on
the streets, while the introduction of
a system of handy receptacles for
waste paper and refuse of that kind.
is still further adding to the clean
| ly appearance.
These things taken together with
the improved repairing OF the streets
has already given the city new ap-
pearance in these respects. 1t is ex-
Ipected that this improvement will
continue until the work of better
Istreet construction, which, has been
introduced by the administration, is
rapidly putting the streets in first
iclasS order.

kennehec river at the extreme end of
the Plains Desiring to he the first
swimmer of the season.. the youth
dove from boat and failed to come

later.
The unfortunate boy, in company
with his brother, who is a few years
his senior, started out about 3 A NJ.
in an Old boat. the younger boy see
ing that the ice was clear, stated that
he had a desire To take plunge, and
after stripping of his clothing, dove
from the end of the boat. The brother
waited anxiously Tor his return, but
he never came up alive.
The older boy Immediately rowed
for the shore and called assistance
Several men responded and shor,
time later the body was recovered.
Coroner sherman L. Berry was cali

FAIRFIELD.

The chief topic of interest in town IS
the rebuilding of the Hume x Newhall
saw mill. The burning last Friday OF
the big mill ON Taylors point has ocea-
stoned widespread comment, principally
among Fairfield people, who will feel
most keenly the loss in a business way.
Some 200 men are now out of employ
ment on account of the fire at time of
year when they We're looking forward to
a prosperous season These men can only
await developments here or seek employ
ment elsewhere, which means so much
loss to Fairfields business men.
The members of the concern are not in
a position just now TO give out to the
public the losses they have suffered, as
the blow came quickly and has necessl-
tated a changing of their complete plans
for the season of 1911. Insurance adjust
ers are expected on the scene of the fire
early this week and until they act upon
the losses they find. no decision upon the
