KENOsHA COULD GET PLANT
Managers of the Company Demand
tnat City Securing Plant Raise
100000 for Purchase of Stock in
the Company Before Move is Made.

The Kenosha Industrial Association
has chance to do some big work as it
is announced that the Racine Manufac-
turing Company one of the largest in
dustries in Racine is planning to leave
that city ana the officials of the com.
pany are now looking for a new loca-
ton. A little over a year ago the
Kenosha people captured big indus
try from Racine when they took the
plant Of the Racine Refrigerator and
Ice Making Machinery Company and
this industry is developing very rapid
ly in Kenosha and promises in a short
time to DO one of the great industries
of the city. The plant of the Racine
Manufacturing Company is one of
the big plants in Racine and at the
present time it is employing between
1900 and 1900 men. The company is
Of recent organization but it has had
a remarkable growth. 1t is engaged in
the manufacture of automobile bodies
and is now supplying bodies to many
big concerns engaged in the manufac'
ture of automobiles.
The company is planning to leave
Racine and it is planning to go to
some city where the capitalists are
willing to take up stock in the COM
pany. Some time ago the company
asked the capitalists Of Racine to take
block Of stock amounting to $780,
900 and Racine has been unable to
meet the condition. Less than one
fourth Of the amount of money de-
manded has been raised in Racine and
other cities have been asked to make
some proposition. Several Illinois cit
les have taken up the question and
have made big offers to the company
but these offers have not as yet been
accepted as it is understood that the
company plans to remain in the Chi
cago freight belt if possible. The mat
ter has not been formally laid before
the officials of the Kenosha Industrial
Association but agents of the company
have been in Kcnosha and have con-
ferred with well known fnanciers of
the city and it is certain that all
things being equal the company would
prefer to remain in this section rather
than to remove to some other state.
The proposition is a big one and one
that it would be necessary for men of
wealth to take care of, Before the
plant of the Racine company was des-
troyed by fire short time ago the
company was employing $500 men and
it is declared that this number Of men
would be employed with the building
Of q new and greater plant in another
city. Nearly every cent of the money
secured from the sale of the stock in
the company would be used in the cree
ton and equipping of the plant. It is
at least half a million proposition
and if Kenosha is to come to the front
and make an effort to get the big plant
something must be done at once. The
stability of the industry is assured by
the fact that leading men of Racine
are interested in it, Frank Bull being
the president of the company.

The trunk line sewer proposition
which will come up in the council soon
for a final decision is the most import
ant matter which that body has had to
deal with in many years but the mer-
chants and business men of the city
have done very little either individual
~ or collectively to forward q move
ment in which they are so vitality in
terested. Getting right down to the
bed rock of the matter it is the men
who are in retail business of any kind
in Kenosha who lose more by the lack
of accommodations for the men with
families who want to move here and
cannot find place than the great in
dustrias. The big factories fill the
places which would ordinarily be tax

Novel Course of Instruction
to Be Offered Kenosha Men
and Boys at Y. NJ. C. A.
.F0GWELL TO Be IN CHARGE

Kenosha is to have new and very
interesting school as David r. Fogwell
Physical Director Of the Kenosha
branch of the Y. M. C. A. has announc-
ed the opening of a course of lessons
and lectures in ''First Aid to the In
jured.' There will be ten lessons in
the course which will be an elmentary
one and If the proper interest is shown
in the work it is probable that an ad-
vanced course along the same lines will
be announced later. The lessons will
be given twice week and will include
instruction in anatomy, physiology,
circulation of the blood, respiration,
suffocation, artificial respiration, treat
ment in the care of fractures, disloca-
lions and sprains, the care of the var
ious sorts of wounds, poisons and their
antldotes, shock and unconscious con-
ditions, bandages and their use, and the
transportation of the wounded. Direc-
tor Fogwell is not planning to take
anything from the regular physicians
but these lessons are for young men
and are designed to teach them how to
care for sick and injured before the ar
rival of physician. The course will
be open to all members of the senior
department of the Y. M. G. A. and the
cost will be very small.
After the lessons are over there will
be an examination in practical work
as well as written examination and
the papers will be sent to the Interna-
tional Association in New York from
which association diplomas will be sent
out The course will be very novel
one and one of great interest to the
young men. Several Of the well known
physicians of the city.t' will lecture be-
fore the class and in addition it is
probable that a number Of interesting
clinics will be arranged.

The work of the visiting nurse is
making profound impression on many
of the people of the city and we are
hopeful that it will result III the per-
manent improvement Of sanitary condi-
tions in many parts of the city. The
reports made by the nurse will give
actual proof of bad conditions which
were only suspected before her visit
and with this proof at hand it will be
difficult for any one to dodge the res
possibility for remedying the condl-
tions complained of.

There should be no further delays
in passing "good roads = bill and if
the legislature does nothing else it will
have accomplished something for the
lasting benefit of the state if this bill
is put through at this session. There
would have been better excuse for
all of the time already wasted in put
ting state good roads law into effect
in Wisconsin if the legislature had
been venturing into new fields in pass
ing one and had been confronted with
entirely new problems but that is no.
the case. Far from it. A number of
the eastern states have had these bills
in force for some years and have ex-
pended millions under them and the
knowledge and experience gained in
those states would have been placed at
the disposal of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture in framing good roads measure
for this state. 1t should have been
comparatively easy task to take what
were considered the best points Of the
different laws of the different states
and incorporate them into the Wiscon-
sin law and that is what should have
been done at the earliest possible mo-
ment after the people of Wisconsin
voted for state aid for highways. 1t
is not contended that such law would
have been perfect but if it had been
passed there would have been enough
work done under it by this time to
show its weak points and where it was
in need of revision and this legislature
could have passed any amendments con-
sidered necessary. In all probability
any law that is passed on this subject
will have to go through this process
of amendment before it is considered
complete and serviceable under all con-
ditions which may arise under it and
the sooner we get started under some
kind of a law the better it will be for
the state. 1t is reported that there is
wide difference. of opinion in che leg
islature as to the form in which this
law is to be drawn and passed but any
errors of judgment that may be shown
later to have been made by the legis-
lators will be more readily forgiven by
the people of the state who have any
conception of the benefits of good
roads than further delays in passing
some kind of law.

ker, president of Kentucky state uni
versity, that Mai Tee. young Siam
ese. will be sent 10 the university this
