Reno, the little city of $4,000, on
the western boundary Of Nevada, fam
ou for prize fights and marriage dis
solutions, has just cause for more fav-
Iorable regard. The reason is shown
above in the new association building
it has provided and dedicated to it's
boyhood and manhood, and which
spells new civic enthusiasm for
Righteousness in the community. Few
would have believed it possible for
Reno to secure such splendid build
+ ing, or to be concerned about making
the effort. And yet the account of
the campaign for funds which result
ed beyond local expectations is one of
the modern romances of philanthropy.
The campaign was launched in May
1910 and the stakes set for $4,000.
Within the ten day period of the cam
paign not only the $4,000 was raised
but $4,000 additional, making total
of $4,000 of which $4,000 was in
cash subscriptions. Moreover, a lot
valued at $4,000 in the heart Of the
city adjoining the federal building and

| lost made arrangements with the diff
ferent towns to do their part so as
| to make a beautiful Lake Shore drive
as far north as the state line possible.
And the matter was recently settled
| so as to go ahead with the work the
coming year We on the Wisconsin
side, should take care Of this end, and
do our part to complete the good work
already started. The work begun on
DSouth Park avenue, this week, is a
beginning. This being continuation
of our Main thoroughfare should be a
popular part of the route. Along this
| line I would say a subway crossing
should be built beneath the railroad.
This can be done nicely south Of the
city, and is practicable owing to con-
ditions plainly existing.
| But these things cannot be accom-
plished without concerted action and
| everybody doing something and not
leaving their part for the other fell
low All must get around and push,
and put in a few dollars, for which
good return will be apparent. I
should say every auto oyner ought to
subscribe at least twenty-five dollars
and others in proportion. am not
one myself, but would gladly give ten
dollars, and later when I own a ma
chine, give more.

SAY SERVICE IS INEFFICIENT
Vice President Ashton Greets Commit
tee Cordially and Promises to Take
up Matter of Better Service as Soon
as Possible-Answer in Two Weeks.

The scheme of Kenosha people to
have a gasoline motor car service in
stalled on the western division of the
Chicago and Northwestern road be-
tween Kenosha and Genoa junction
met with a severe jolt when the mat
ter was presented to R. III. Ashton,
vice president of the company, on
Monday afternoon by a committee
composed of G. E.NDewey, A. E. Buck
master and Charles T. Pfennig. Vice
President Ashton turned the matter
down at once and declared that the
test the company had made of gaso-
line motor car service had been so un-
satisfactory that the company would
not for a minute consider the plan to
sha. He showed the members of the
committee the results of test of this
service on small division Of the line
in Nebraska and the results were such
that he declared that the service
would be of no value in Kenosha
county. just what the big objection
to the service is was not shown by
Vice President Ashton, but from the
statements he produced it is certain
that it was not satisfactory to either
che company or to the people in the
territory where it was used. 1t was
held also that the installation Of sucn
a service would be an expensive prop
osition for the company. Vice Presi-
dent Ashton assured the committee
that he would take up the matter of
more frequent passenger service on
the western line at once and that some
response to the demand Of the people
Of the county would be given within
the next ten days.
The railway officials had "hard
luckn story to tell. They declared
that they could not take care of the
traffic at the persent time, but not
withstanding the big demand for car

service that the business was being
taken care of a. loss.
The committee urged strongly the
demands of Kenosha for better con-
neetion with the western part of the
county and they insisted that if neces-
sary the matter would be taken up
with the state railroad commission.
The officials of The company did not
seem to be greatly frightened by the
possibility of an appearance before
the commission and they held that the
traffic in this county would not war
rant any large increase in train
service.
Vice President Ashton stated that
it was possible that the company
would see its way clear to put on "a
couple of more trains on the division
and try them out, but he gave no as
surance that if this was done that the
trains would be permanently added to
the schedule.
The answer of the company which
is to be sent to the committee within
ten days will be awaited with inter
est.

park was donated. The new building
was finished and dedicated November
12,l9ll. Prior to this there had not
been Young Men S Christian Asso-
citation building in Reno and conse-
quently the work is new and pioneer.
The membership is approaching the
800 mark, all coming in voluntarily
since the opening of the building.
1t would seem that what Reno has
done it is possible for any other city
of like size or larger to accomplish.
In fact 80 buildings for association
purposes were completed in 1911 vary
ing in cost from $4,000 to 100000
while funds for the construction OF
IS more new buildings were secured
in as many cities of the United
States. It is literally true that every
city Of the United States OF any size
or Importance which does not now
have modern association building
has either funds in hand and construc-
tlon under way or plans afoot for the
securing Of a new building.

SCORED A BIG HIT
Prince of Tonight Under
Auspices of the Knights
Templar Last Night.
CROWD PACKS OPERA HOUSE

Full of pleasing melodies and Offer
ing an amazingly lavish production
1.-The Prince of Tonight, enhanced
by the prestige afforded by the pres
ence in the title role of Henry Wood
ruff lived up to its record as
phenomenal magnet for the plsygoer
last night when it appeared here at
the Rhode Opera House before an i'm
mense audience, under the auspices of
the Kenosha Knights Templar,
The large cast of principals in sup
port of Mr.. Woodruff evidenced the
choice of the best to be had in the
musical comedy field, and the chorus
was a typical Mort H. Singer beauty
gathering of girls, who could sing and
dance and make the audience wonder
if the producer cornered all the pref
ty girls in the country. AS the prince
of the mythical land of Lunitania,
wherein he succeeds in winning the
girl of his heart, Mr. Woodruff pre-
sented portrayal with all the mis-,
chievous wrinkles, apt witticisms and
bubbling good nature that have won
him so strong regard in the hearts
of theatregoers.
The production was witnessed by
one of the largest crowds ever seen at
the Rhode and the committee of the
Knights Templar in charge of the
event are entitled to high praise for
the success of the undertaking. The
presentation of 'EThe Prince of To-
night" was not only social and ar
tistic success, but it is declared to
have been one of the biggest financial
successes ever known cat the opera
house.

would ask that they formulate some
plan to reacn the Pennefeather Ssh
division with sewer. The logleal
street on which the sewer should run
lis Superior street, but this street runs
.Ionly as far north as Elizabeth so
some other plan will have to be ar
ranged, but action should be taken
lat once.
For the committee on FIRE depart
ment, the question of fire truck for
the north side has been rumored. Ii
this is true it is important that it
should be Investigated very thorough
ly.
For the committee on gas and light.
They have plenty to do in seeing to
the distribution of the lights already
contracted for.
For the committee on judiciary and
ordinances. [ think the entrance of

Electric car would come under their

The committee on public grounds
will have busy year keeping track
of improvements already installed and
our beauty spots and park systems.
The committee on claims has very
busy year ahead Of it, with sewer ex-
tras and all
In fact it looks as though we all
are going to have a very busy year
and / trust we viii each do our duty
so that when we look back at the
end of the year we can truthfully say
that we have given the best that is
in us for the furtherance of our slo-
gan, A Greater and Better Ke-
nosha.
The mayor then appointed his com
mittees which were promptly confirm
ed by the council.
The Inauguration drew many well
known citizens to the city hall and in
the large crowd in the lobby was many
of the women of the city. Flowers
decorated the desks of Alderman
Hegeman and Rauen, while Alderman
Roberts, the new alderman from the
first ward, was presented with a great
floral horse shoe by his friends.
In all the inaugural was the most
notable in the history Of the city.

meantime the committee recommended
that the new council take immediate
steps to provide dumping ground for
garbage and this matter will be tax
en- care Of at once.
There was the usual number OF
routine bills, among the number be-
ing one for the inspection of the extra
work done on the truck sewer. The
clerk was instructed to send this bill
to the Cleary, White, Newman Com
pany, the council holding that the fact
that an crror had been made in con-
struction warranted the city demand
ing payment for this inspection from
the contractors.
The usual provisions were made for
turning over the annual budget of the
Kenosha Cemetery Association and
the Gilbert M. Simmons Library.
Alderman Thomey made the motion
to adjourn sine die. ~

GOOD ROADS, NOT AN AUTO
OWNERS VIEW.

While the American people pride
themselves on progressiveness, in one
thing they are certainly back. num-
ber That is in the matter of good
roads. / do not know why it is that
we should have waited for the autoist
to wake us up. 1t seems to me that a
demand FOR road Improvement has
certainly been apparent for a long
time.
The bad effect of the deplorable
condition Of our highways on the
American public is very far reaching,
although apparently not realized by
most of us, it is plain to one who is
at all thinker.
Government statistics tell us it
costs us in this country fifteen cents
per ton per mile for hauling more
than it does in European countries,
Which means a total loss each year of
two hundred twenty-five million dol
lars due to our roads not being IN to
the standard of European roads. -
addition to this enormous loss, on this
account, there is a great expense for
replacing, repairing and care Of extra
draft stock, not to mention waste of
time in transportation, and of the
half load hauled. While this very
costly defect apparently falls most di-
rectly on the farmer, it will most GER
tainly, in the end be paid by the con-
sumers, located in our cities.
Good roads in addition to the econo-
mical side, add greatly to the health,
comfort aud happiness of the COM
immunity, and every possible agency
should be used to make them reality.
The fact that we don t all have au-
tos dLn't mean that we don t want
one, or at least horse, till conditions
warrant the purchase Of machine. !"
While the price today is beyond the
reach Of most of us the time is fast
coming when they will be as common
as the horse. This condition will be
here much sooner if our roads are
| made suitable and adapted at all
times for use. With this development
will come lower prices and lower cost
of maintenance. We, all of US, have
but one life to live, SO let us do our
part that we may have some Of the
pleasures that win come with such
work, and this emphatieally necessary
Improvement and thereby enjoy the
results.
| Recently the Chicago and MiIwau-
l1ee Road Association expressed them
selves favoring the Kilbourn Road, as
the one to ebe first improved through
their agency, and now our citizens, liv-
ing in towns along the lake, are COM
4 planning about being left out. The
fact is, the fault lies with ourselves,
not taking and doing our part in the
matter. If this movement is plainly
good thing and worthy Of our con-
sideration, why not act. The advant-
age of building the road along the
lake is plainly obvious in many ways,
but the most apparent one is-that
many miles of the way are already i'm
proved in passing over our city pave
ments in the numerous lake shore
towns. 1t is certainly preferable to
pass along our best residence streets
and quite usual to visit the main
street of the city for stop at hotels or
to patronize our merchants, so ii
4 seems we should all do our part more
or less to accomplish the undertaking
lstarted. A short time ago | noticed
that the Lake Shore Improvement As

FINISHES IT'S WORK
Old Council Passed Into His
tory Monday Night After
Short Session.
GARBAGE COLLECTION LATER

The Scholey administration passed
into history with the meeting of the
old council ION Monday evening and
the last meeting of the body Of men
Mho had controlled the city for the
past four years failed to bring any
thing of great interest. Alderman
20 'Brien, long confined to his home by
illness, was present for the last meet
ing of the old council, but he took
no active part in the proceedings
Interest in the organization of the
new council eclipsed the note taken
of the final gasp Of the old council.
The first question Of Importance to
come before the retiring aldermen was
the acceptance of the ordinance by
Company was given the rights to lay
additional tracks on Main street and
on Market Square. The ordinance was
accepted by President Spaulding of
the company, acting for the board of
directors. Under the provisions Of the
ordinance the additional tracks must
be completed before April Is, 1913 or
all grants made to the company by
the ordinance become null and void
The special committee appointed to
consider the proposition Of municipal
collection of garbage made report in
which they declared that the present
financial condition Of the city would

vision for the city collecting the gar
bage be made at the time the appro-
priations are made for 1918. In the
