ICE CROP A FROST"
Big Chicago Companies Civ
ing up Effort to Secure Ice
on Kenosha Lakes.
PRODUCT is OF POOR QUALITY

The ice harvest in Kenosha county
is a disappointment so far this year
and it is declared that some Of the
big Chicago companies are planning
to abandon the harvest i'm the lakes
of the county ON account Of the con
tinued "open" winter. The big gangs
Of men are still at work, but it is de-
clared that the ice that is being taken
from the lakes is of such poor quality
that the men in charge of the harvest
fear that it will be unfit for consump-
ton. Not a single day of good cut
ting has been found by the companies
this winter and all the ice being put
up is declared to be Of Fpoor" quail
ity. On some of the lakes the ice
is eleven inches thick, but on others
the men are handling ice less than
eight inches thick. The SHOWS of the
last month have played havoc with the
business and it is declared that every
bit Of ice cut is part slush.
Little or none of the ice is being
shipped from the lakes and it is de-
clared that much Of the Kenosha crop
will have to be used as "refrigera-
tor" ice Many of the houses on the
lakes have not been opened at all and
some of the companies are working
only small shift of men and if there
is not some change in the weather
which will give promise of better ice
it is probable that the companies will
have to make arrangements to ship in
ice from other places where the winter
has been more favorable This will
of course mean an increase in the
price of ice next year.
The local officials have already felt
the result of the let up in the work
ON the lakes and scores of men are
coming to Kenosha daily from the ice
houses. For the most part these men
are out of money. The police are los
ing no time in getting them out of the
city and the freight trains to Chicago
and Milwaukee are carrying a lot of
these men. There has been but one
strike among the ice men this year
and with a prospect Of very short
cutting season the men seem to be
willing to remain at work even though
the wages are not as high as have
been demanded in some seasons.
Supplies of ice for local consump.
tior have not as yet been cut and
the managers of the companies doing
business in the city feel certain that
there will be better cutting weather
later in the winter and they are tax
ing this chance. If better ice is not
secured on the Kenosha lakes it will
be necessary for the supply to be ship
ped in next year. The failure of the
ice harvest is proving a big disap-
pointment to many of the people in
the western end of the county on ac-
count of the fact that the big winter
population has failed to materialize
this year.

THINKS IT BETTER FOR PEOPLE
Third Ward Alderman May Ask Coun-
Gil to Submit This Proposition to the
People After Experts Have Examined
Into TIE Conditions Here.

Alderman John H. Hegeman Of the
third ward promises to be- the cham
pion of a new solution of the prob
lem Of getting pure water for the city
and while his solution has been pro-
posed before, it is probable that the
alderman will be able to get the mat
ter before the council in such a man
ner as to have it properly considered.
Alderman Hegeman asks that the city
secure the opinion of experts on a
plan which would provide for the in
stallation of an auxiliary water plant
in the city which would furnish water
from artesian wells to every home In
the city.
The alderman has been making
some Investigations and he holds that
sufficient pressure could be secured
through the driving of new wells to
furnish perfect supply Of drinking
water and that the water would have
sufficient pressure to follow the mains
TO all parts of the city. He claims
that the failing of the artesian water
at the present time is due to defects
in the mains rather than to q lack OF
the water. The cost of an auxiliary
plant would probably be in the neigh
borhood of $175,000, little more than
the cost of plant for filtration, but
the alderman holds that this plan has
the feature that the cost of operation
would be very small while the cost of
operation of a filtration plant is a
good deal of problem. There is no
doubt that a great many Keno
sha people would welcome the piping
OF the aItesian water in permanent
system, but whenever this plan has
been suggested in the past the ques-
tion has been raised as to the supply.
Alderman Hegeman has suggested
to his colleagues ON the council that
experts be employed to make an ex-
animation into the supply of artesian
water before any further action is
taken along the lines of building a
filtration plant. He holds that with
the operation Of the present water
plant to supply water for the fac
tories and for fire protection the water
to be taken from the mains of an
artesian plant would not be greater
than could be assured from the wells
now in existence and from other wells
that could be driven.
As yet the council has taken. no
formal action to refer the question of
filtration and bond issue for the
building Of filter to the people aud
if this action is to be taken some no.
tice of the intention must be given
within the next few days. Alderman
Hegeman believes that if the question
is submitted the question of rebuild
ing the artesian system should be sub
mitted at the same time and the peo-
pie be given chance to choose be-
tween the two solutions of the prob
lem. There is a big demand for pure
water in the city and it is certain
that any plan which would success
fully revive the artesian supply will
meet with much support from the PEG.
pie of the city.

GUARDIANS GETTING BUSY.
Call from County Judge Results in
Many Accounts Being Closed UP.

Guardianship matters are occupying
nearly all of the time of the county
court just at present and following the
recent demand for an accounting from
all guardians holding Office under the
court there has been a general effort
to close up all of these matters.
Cases which have been pending for ten
and even twenty years have been
brought to light and the guardians
have been given to understand that
immediate settlements must be made to
the court Judge Taylor holds that
for the most part these delays have
been due to the ignorance Of the guar.
dams. In order to prevent this sort
of cases piling up for the court in the
future Judge Taylor is having a COM
gplete transcript of the law relating to
guardianship published and copy
sof this will be sent to every person
holding these trusts, 1t is thought
thai this will go long way toward
eliminating similar troubles in the
future.

The sheriff and the police of the city
have been ordered to cease their search
for the people alleged to have broken
into the station of the railway com
pany at Bristol, the officials of the
company claiming that so far as they
can discover nothing was missing and
that the whole report was a hoax.
Now wait until there is sure enough
crime committed in that vicinity and
see the righteous indignation of some
of the parties to this alleged joke be-
cause the officers of the law do not
display any great enthusiasm in act
ing on their reports of crimes in that
neighborhood until after the reports
have been verified by some one they
can trust.
