WAUKESHA COUNTY
TAKING THE LEAD
AT SUPERVISORS MEETING $4,000
WAS APPROPRIATED FOR
SANITORIUMo
jefferson County VIII Take Action il
WalwOrth County Board
Meets Next Week.

| At meeting Of board of supervis-
ors at Waukesha, Tuesday, there
was but one dissenting voice, that OF
Supervisor A. J. Stockman of Muk-
wOnagO, when the county board at a
special meeting adopted the resolution
! presented by the special committee
appointed last year to investigate the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a tuber-
culOsis sanatorium in conjunction with
Walworth and Jefferson counties, and
calling for a bond issue not to exceed
$4,000
This places Waukesha county in a
position to finance its share Of the
proposed sanitorium, which it is
proposed to locate in the vicinity of
Palmyra.
The other two counties to the pro-
ject will beyond question make the
necessary appropriations.
Walworth county's board of super
visors will meet next week at Elk
horn, and according to word received
in Watertown it is expected that an
ample appropriation will be voted.
The Jefferson county board will
meet at Jefferson within the next
three weeks, and those who were will
ling to talk on the subject express the
view that the matter will be taken up
at that meeting and an appropriation
asked
It is not known no. much Jefferson
county's share of the sanitorium will
cost, but an unofficial estimate places
it at between $35, 900 and $4,000
The proposed sanitorium has been
discussed in the county boards of the
three counties interested for the past
two years, and now the efforts of
those who have 1abored for this end
appear about to crystalize.
Since the sanitorium was first talked
of the state board of health has be-
come interested in the project, and
members of that body have offered the
boards of supervisors of the three
counties much help and valuable sug-
gestions.
Besides the state board, officials of
the State Anti-Tuberculosis society
have been quite active in advancing
the project.
1t is estimated that the sanitorium
will cost 100000.

TWO WONDERFUL AMERICAN
ACHIEVEMENTS.

The electrifcation of 44O miles of
the main line of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway, between Har-
lowton, Mont, and Avery, Idaho,
across the Great Continental Divide,
and the digging of the Panama Canal,
stand linked as the greatest engineer
ing achievements of this generation.
The Canal ushers in new era in
ocean travel-the Milwaukee" cleo
trification heralds a new era in trans
continental railroading, mastering for
ever the stupendous obstacles of the
mountains, carrying traffic over the
massive barriers with ease and with a
pronounced saving in cost; decidedly
improving train operation, practically
eliminating all trouble from cold and
snow; making mountain travel clean
and mountain vistas clear and by pro-
ducing power from mountain water
falls instead of from coal, taking a
definite step to conserve the worlds
resources. The milwaukee" is ever to
the fore in increasing travel comforts
and pleasures. The accomplishment
of the first extensive main line cleo
IRRIGATION in the world is but another
item in the long list of it's pioneering
achievements.

Miss Chadwick received a beautiful
bouquet of orange blossoms and
roses this morning from her brother
Alabama. She carried the bouquet dur
ing the wedding ceremony.
That Miss Chadwick's popularity
will be missed in the social circles OF
Watertown is quite evident, as she
has always been an active worker in
many of the social organizations here
She is a member of the Saturday
club, and has always been con-
scientious worker for the betterment
of that organization. In order to
show their appreciation of the help
she had been to the club, a farewell

class pleasantly surprised her by
presenting her with a handsome sill

she has most successfully coached
the senior class plays for the past
three years.

to the cause.

Of those interviewed Charles J.
Salick, who is an authority on things
astronomical, was prone to venture an
opinion, although he thought it more
than likely that atmospheric condi-
tons were driving clouds into an
air channel.
His views differ from the Madison
authorities only in the detail that in
stead of clouds being brought to-
gether, the moisture for hundreds
of miles from each direction is being
brought to the channel, which form an
elongated cloud.
The appearance of the phenomena
in Watertown was the first within the
memory of the present generation, and
many were the theories advanced.
Of course, the European war was
not forgotten, and some even predicted
that it was a sign of the end of time
