TELEPHONE WORK COMPLETED,

The Wisconsin Telephone Company
has just completed the work of enlarg-
ing and resystemitzing their lines in
yhe city at cost of $4,000. A force
of men have been working for months.
Many overhead cables have been sub
stituted for large numbers of exposed
wires on cross-bars. Although the SER
vice had been extended there are fewer
poles than before. A new cable under
the river has been laid. The first tee-
phone line in Manitowoc was a private
line in 1878. The first public exchange
was opened in 1881 with 3S subscribers,
the citizens having undertaken to Sc
cure 30 subscribers as condition to
the opening of the exchange. The So
Iicita;ion was done by E. K. Rand, G,
G.. Sedgwick and w. w. De Lano.
The city now has 1915 city telephones
IN operation and conpect with 500 rural
line patrons. Following is IA list OF
the original subscribers:

PEA INDUSTRY IMPORTANT.

The inheritance OF the pea canning
industry to Manitowoc is shown by the
annual report of the Wisconsin Pea
Gamers company just issued. The re-
port shows that $l56, 304 was expended
in Manitowoc county for labor and
farm products. The pay roll of the
Manitowoc factory was 500, ,92O and of
the Two Rivers factory $50, l2l. The
canning industry have been revolution
lied since it was begun here by the
late Albert Landreth over % years
ago. Despite the labor saving tnnova-
tions the industry is still large factor
in the labor situation, especially during
the summer months when hundreds OF
young people find work during ;he
school vacation. The Wisconsin Com
pany conducts factories also at Sheboy-
gan and in the northern part OF the
state The company is one of the lar
gest in the pea packing field and has
from the first had an enviable reputa-
tation for the quality of its output.

INDEPENDENT WATER
SUPPLY PLANNED

An echo of the present agitation
for bigger water supply for fire pro-
lection purposes comes in the amount
cement by the Aluminium Goods Com
pany OF a plan to lay pipe to the river
for water supply for fire lighting pur-
poses. This plan includes the install
ling of powerful pumps and will make
the company independent of the city
service for the fire purposes. The two
mailing companies now have each an
independent source of water. The AL
uminum Company will be required
to secure permission from the-city to
lay its pipe along and across streets
but they do not anticipate any opposi-
tion in this matter.

yer near the 500. The plaintiff says it
worked as a sub contractor at the gov
brnment contract price per yard and
That several thousands of dollars are
Unpaid The defendants, who are Two
Rivers people, say that it was Joint
Undertaking and that the plaintiff
Bcooped the easy mud digging, leaving
he hard bottom, dragging and rock re-
moving for the defendants and that
bther dredges had to be employed by
Them to finish the work within contract
Eime; that the plaintiffs have nothing
coming. The outcome is awaited with
interest The Greilling
Brothers who are Green Bay concern
hre represented by Joseph Martin of
that city, the defendants by II. l..
Marx ham and A. l.. Hougen. Clashes
between counsel have been frequent.
Besides the McMorrow case there may
be another criminal trial which has

Inc training schOOl TINS year Is TAX
ing up work in domestic science. It is
not the aim of the school to do the work
that is done in thoroughly equipped
department, but to give the pupils an
idea OF what may be done in the rural
and graded schools.
1t is now conceded by all that the or
dinary cold lunch is not conducive to
the best mental or physical work. 1t
is therefore recommended not only for
city schools but for country schools as
well, that one hot dish be served with
the cold lunch brought from home, In
accordance with recommendation of
this kind, the state legislature appro-
PIRATES not less than one hundred dol
lars for graded schools dong certain do
mestic science work. This money is
Withheld unless the work is done. 1t
thus becomes necessary for the county
training school to prepare its students
for the work they will be expected to
do. The required equipment has been
provided, and one of the training school
rooms serves as kitchen and dining
room combined. The girls who bring
their lunches regularly, constitute the
heads OF committees who have in charge
the preparation Of the luncheon. These
committees are five in number and
they attend to preparing the one hot
dish, and serving, arranging and clear
ing the tables, washing dishes, sweep
ing the room, and keeping accounts.
Each one who takes his lunch at school
pays for the dish that is served and
thus far the cost has averaged two and
one-tenth cents per meal. Corn, pea
and tomato soup, creamed potatoes and
creamed carrots, cocoa, rice and baked
apples have been served. The expert
ment is working out quite successfully
and the students in charge take care Of
the work creditably.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The city council met in regular adj
burned session Monday evening to dis
PISS utility Improvements. The utili-
es committee recommended that some
ew plans of city engineer PITT for en-.
krging and rebuilding the mother well
the water plant at cost of about
50O be adopted. There was a long
ebate over this. 1t was pointed out
bat the we'll now needs repairs badly
|1yway and that il is almost certain
pat by going deeper and charging
le well the water supply can be in
feased, perhaps enough to obvlate the
|ecessity for building an expensive
! ke intake. Bigel said that the mon
would not be wasted because the
|me is coming when more water for
bmestic purposes will be needed. The
ayor explained the recent test. He
! id that the recent exhaustion OF wa
|r in 80 minutes is misleading; that
be pumps under ordinary conditions
build run several hours before drawing
b the reservoir. that the reservoir
|lpply would last long enough to
ermit the wells TO recover and
hat a fire could he fought for or
hours at least. Georgenson, Bigel
bd Thorison spoke in favor of the new

Ltake w. Schroeder argued strenu-
|lsly against it as did Sohuetze. They
L'ged going ahead with the Hunt rec
bmmendations for 100000 worth of
ork. The mayor said that the Rahr
| Ike intake, which it was said could be
bnnected up for 800 per month is not
tg enough to supply the entire demand
