The Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light Co. has offered to furnish Fort
Atkinson, Johnson Creek and Jefferson
with electric power from the Kilbourn
dam by way of WATERFOWL. The prop
osition will probably be accepted by
Johnson Creek and Fort Atkinson as
they are now depending upon steam
plants. Jefferson owns the water
power plant and can make power
cheaper than the Milwaukee company
can furnish it.
The town of Albion has decided on
bnilding three miles of crushed stone
highway this season. The first work
will be done in surfacing the Bartz hill
which was graded last fall, where the
rock crusher will be put at work this
week, using all the surface hardheads
to be obtained in that locality. An
other mile will be added to the section
of rock road built two years ago on
the west Albion road, bringing i'm
provement to somewhere near the De-
vine farm. The third mile will be on
the middle Albion road. It will be
noted that most of the expenditure will
be on highways leading into Edgerton
under wise provision that the main
travelled roads should first be improved.
The dance to be given by the local
cigarmakers' union at Academy hall,
Thursday evening, May LIST, promises
to be one of the best entertainments OF
the kind ever given in Edgerton. The
female orchestra under direction of
Miss Alma Klessig, of Milwaukee, has
a reputation second to none in the
state. The local union was bound to
have the best music and that is why
they secured Miss Klessig and her or
chestra. The boys of the local union
have put forth their best efforts in ar
ranging for this party and they will be
pleased to meet all on the evening Of
May LIST. A concert by the ladies or
chestra will be given from $50 to $3.50
and dancing from $50 to l.
The state fire warden's office has
been investigating the cause of the big
fire on the bridge at GAINESVILLE on April
1st which threatened the business dis
trict, during the week. The spread of
the flames from the store occupied by
Archie Reed to the other buildings, the
rapidity with which the blaze seemed
to enter all the store fronts on the
Milwaukee street bridge and the ap-
parent smell of burning oil, tar or some
similar substance, with the dense smoke
which accompanies such a blaze, have
led to the theory that the fire was of
incendiary origin. In fact the chief of
the fire department so intimated in his
statement the next morning after the
fire. Mr.. Purtell would make no state
ment beyond the fact that the investi-
cation would be most thorough.
Maybe it is little early to begin
harping again on the fly. Our answer
is, it is always the right time to boost
good cause And it will not be long
until Mr.. Fly and-worse yet Mrs.
Fly begin to hatch in devastating myr-
lads. 1t is this Matching which we
must try and prevent. Look out for
the dirt. Clean up all the stable filth.
If not possible to burn it, then sprinkle
it literally with strong solution of
carbolic acid or formaldehyde. This
will kill the eggs and destroy the first
crop. Then, to those flies which are
lucky enough to escape this crusade ad-
minister the ''swat" which destroys
them in their infancy. Remember that
one fly destroyed in May means poten-
TALLY five million less in August five
million less carriers of disease and
death in our midst.

chill in the air, but much enthusiasm
among the people here who belive the
snow benefit. Lodi Enterprise.
