Two hundred notices have been

lice under the tree trimming ordinance
recently passed by the council which
went into effect the 18th of the month
and some concerted effort should be
made by the property owners affect

put under the supervision of the park
commission which would give assur-
ance that whatever trimming is neces-
sarv would be done properly. If the
street gangs are set to work cutting

parable damage will be done and the
city suffered damage enough in the de-

One Of the things to wonder at now
that the worst is past is why nobody
thought to start the life saving crews
to the front the first day of the flood.
The work Of the crews that have been
used in the rescue work has taught the
authorities their value and it is prob
able that the crews from the nearest
stations will be moved into any dis.
trict threatened with a flood at the
first sign of danger in the future. The
crews at the smaller stations on the
great lakes which commonly are not
put into commission until the opening
Of navigation about the first of April,
can be called together couple of
months earlier and held in readiness
for rescue work in the regular spring
floods or sent to substitute for other
crews sent out on flood duty. The
crews can be moved about to give ap-
proximately the same protection to
shipping in about the same way the
fire companies change stations in every
large city when there is a special call.

Jeffery Company to Cele.
brate Fortieth Anniver-
sary in Manufacturing.
A GREAT INCREASE IN PLANT

The Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, Ke-
nosha, Wisconsin, manufacturers Of the
Cross Country motor car, will this year
celebrate the fortieth anniversary of
its entrance into the manufacturing
field.
Although Thomas B. Jeffrey, the
founder of the business, opened his
first work shop on South Water street,
Chicago, before the Chicago fire, this
place was destroyed so the nation wide
reputation of the Jeffrey products
dates back just forty years. For
twenty-eight years Thomas B. Jeffrey
was associated with R. P. Gormully in
the manufacture of the Rambler
bicycle and other kindred industries
while for the past twelve years The
Thomas B. Jeffery Company, an out
growth Of the old Gormully and JEFF
ferry Company has been manufactur-
ing Rambler n otor cars at Kenosha.
The original work shop on South
Wa.ser street, Chicago, occupied one
room. From this modest beginning one
of the two largest concerns in the
bicycle industry was builded.
In 1900 the Jeffery factory occupied
but $4,000 square feet of floor space.
Today it has 104 acres Of ground area
and 25 acres of floor space. The
persent head of the company is
Charles 7. Jeffrey.

The~s is reason in the demand on the
chief Of police for the Immediate en-
forcement of the speed law for electric
cars recently passed by the common
council made by the Milwaukee avenue
property owners. This law was passed
by the common council at the demand
of the Milwaukee avenue people and
for their benefit and it was the I'M
derstanding in the council that the ff-
teen mile limit was to be enforced to
the letter. The chief is not responsible
for consequences and it is his business
so far as it lies in his power to en-
force the ordinance against every car
running on any line within the city
limits. The reports from Milwaukee
avenue that the cars ran on that street
at the rate of forty-fve miles an hour
on Wednesday are of course greatly<ex-
aggerated, but any violations of the
ordnance on any line should be met
with prompt arrests. Since the coun-
ell saw fit to pass this ordinance the
Milwaukee avenue property owners are
entitled to any benefits coming to them
from its rigid enforcement all over the
city.

TO PRODUCE PLAYS
Dramas Written by Former
Kenoshan to be Produced
in Moving Pictures.
PLAYS CONTINUE AFTER DEATH

Arrangements have been made to re-
produce, by motion pictures, a num-
Der of the plays written by Anthony
E. Wills, the Brooklyn dramatist, who
died last July at the age of thirty-two
in the midst of what promised to be a
brilliant career. AS boy during 1890
and 1898, young Wills lived in Keno
sha and gave theatrical performances
among his chums in barn rugged up
as theatre in the yard Of the old
American Hotel" which stood at the
corner of Market and Exchange
streets. He was quite a violinist then
and frequently played at the Y. M. G..
A. in this city and at church festivals
and also in the Rhode Opera House.
He was then twelve years old.
At the time of his death, twenty
two of his plays had already been
published, and are today more widely
used for amateur performers than any
Others; several plays had been produc-
ed on the road with success including
The Lost Trail 1.-THE Struggle, :"
and "All Charley's Fault" while two
dramatic playlets were touring the
vaudeville circuits. In addition to
this prolific output from mis- pen, for
the last five years, he was engaged as
a producing manager on his own ac-
count having had "The Squaw Man"
and some of his own plays on the road
and stock companies in Newark and
Passaic, N. j., during the summer
months.
Like most producing managers, he
felt the influence of the moving piet-
ure on the theatre, but for long time
was one of the most reluctant to
concede it.
It is therefore one of the ironies of
fate that now, after his death, GA
Regiment of Two" the first Of a
series of his plays to be produced is,
being made into a moving picture film
by the Vitagraph company and will
soon be on view.
Those who have seen the first results
of the work, predict new following
for the late dramatist in field he
never contemplated.
1t may not be generally known that
novel written by Mr.. Wills when he
was 10 years of age entitled "Mon-
sieur Paul de Fere' is available at
the Simmons Library
