The LAST OF PIONEER STORES
Fixtures in the Store Have Been Sold
to Racine Company and Stock Will
be Disposed of Within the Next Two
Months E. Dewey to Retire.

One OF the old land marks of the
business world of Kenosha is to dis
appear within the next three months
as this morning it was announced that
the Dewey hardware store which has
been a fixture among the business
houses of the city since 1868 is to be
closed up. G. E. Dewey, the present
proprietor of the store has already ar
ranged for the sale of the fixtures and
the stock is to be closed out before
the middle of March.
The removal Of the name of Dewey
from the Main street store will bring
to an end business which has been
notable in the city. just after the
close of the Civil War the Dewey hard
ware store was opened. 1t occupied
the room which is now the north half
Of the Schoier & Funck building and
the company was made up of the late
G. A. Dewey and Everett Rush. The
company did business under the name
of Dewey 81 Rush for a little more
than a year when Mr.. Rush retired
and the late A. G.. Sinclair purchased
his interest in the business. Two
years later G. A. Dewey bought out his
partner and the business<was run under
his name until two years ago when the
sudden death Of Mr.. Dewey resulted in
the business being turned over to his
son g. e. Dewey. The present proprie-
tor of the store entered the business
on his graduation from the Kenosha
High School in 1880 and for the past
thirty-two years he has been actively
connected with the retail trade in Ke-
nosha. The business has always been
highly successful one and Mr.. Dewey
is closing out simply because he wishes
to get out of the mercantile work and
he will take a long rest before going
into any other line of business.
The fixtures Of the store which are
regarded as among the finest to be
found in the state have been sold to
the Falkenrath & Wolff Company of
Racine and they are to take possession
Of them the first of March.
I'VE have just simply decided to
give up the mercantile business said
Mr.. Dewey when seen this morning.
''Thirty-two years in the store has
been enough for me and [ am going to
retire. | am not able to say just what
will be done with the building but
there are several people looking at it
and I feel certain that arrangements
will be made for a lease of it before
the stock is disposed Of. ~
The Dewey hardware stock is one Of
the largest handled in southern Wiscon-
sin and several. bids have been made
for it but it will probably be disposed
Of at private sale. More definite an
nouncements Of the~sale of the stock
will be made later.
G.. E. Dewey has no plans for leaving
Kenosha and he will continue to make
his home in this city after the business
is disposed of.

UNLOADING CENTRES.

Down at Panama there We're three of
these places of unloading Balboa. Mira
flores and GamtOa-and the spoils were
variouSly used for the purposes Of filling
in roadbeds for lines of tack. making
ground for building purposes and ballast
ing brcakwaters, etc. In every case the
object was to carry the debris the short
est distance possible. to dump It in the
quickest manner and, when the oppor-
tunlty offered 10 make the rock and earth
serve some useful end
In order To make our understanding Of
the unloader's functioning palmer. we
used the smile of the smooth-shod horse
for sake Of contrast. Let us keep that
reference i'm mind. The spoils trains. of
necessity, had to travel over an uneven
roadbed, because the dumping of rock
and dirt was the very way by which II
built up it's own line OF advance and car
ried the operations forward. IT was n
rough road that these cars and their
locomotives had to traverse. and this was
particularly the case when filing i'm the
hollows between hills, etc Now, locomo-
tves are rot ordinarily designed To haul
loads uphill over an undulating track.
and their effective grip upon the rails Is
reduced In direct ratio as the weight Of
the attached train and the steepness Of
the climb increase. What happens. then.
II the locomotive has to pull the plough
that does the unloading? II is simply
stalled and unequal to its task, even
though the blasting exhaust shakes the
locomotive as II II were parting with its
very life. The plough has been grlpped
by the spoils as an anchor might fasten
itself in the sea bottom, and both the
locomotive and the ship are held fast.
But just see how the present unloader
met these circumstances. One of our H.
Illustrations shows 'spoils train unload
ing at the Tabernlla dumps. at Panama
and the pulling engine is seen just at the
crest of the hill. Notwithstanding the
fact that the tracks were as crooked as a
snake in motion, and that there was a
Grade of quite II per cent. still the plough
was steadily pulled uphill as II swept
the broken rock and earth from the
floors Of the cars. There was no hitch IN
the operation. and it was a matter of but
al few minutes ere the empty cars were
speeding back for refilling. The very
fact that even a bad roadbeds could not
halt the work meant that Just that much
less labor was required IN extending the
trackaee for the spoils trains, and yet the
work, when GonS, had all of the ultimate
essentials of precision and permanency.
FleXibility of service is one of the prime
essentials In the equipment Of the modern
