MILK PRODUCERS MEET.
Racine and Kenosha County Dairymen
Have Interesting Session at CorIiss
On Saturday Night.

The milk producers of Racine and
kenosha counties met at the Corliss vii
lage hall Saturday evening and heard
an address, by Assistant Secretary Downs,
of the Milk Producers Association of
Illinois, on Why the Price of Milk
Should Be Raised
The speaker declared that few years
ago farmer could buy COW for from
$40 to $50 and at that time he got 31a
cents quart for the milk, but that now,
when he has to pay 500 or more for a
cow, still he only gets ~ cents quart
for milk.
Mr.. Downs drew attention to the fact
that the producers have made great i'm
provements in their barns and equip
ment, and said that while the farmers
owe the shipment of milk to the cities
and should feel proud to produce it, yet
they should have fair price for it.
He touched upon the checkered career
of the Illinois Milk Producers assoeia-
ton, which originated in Antioch, Ill.
He said the association was unable to
accomplish much until last spring, when
it won its signal victory over the big
milk companies after an eight-day fight.
This association now had membership
of over 1000 and the Illinois body has
$4,000 members. He spoke of the milk
board, composed of Messrs. Hogan, Kid
die and Murphy, as being the backbone
of the organization
The one hope of the producers, as as
serted by Mr.. Downs, was to get just
fair price for milk He said they had
been getting $l.55 per hundred for their
milk during the summer and wanted
So.
f" Il we can t get fair price for it,
it is time to quit, he declared. when
the big railroad strike was impending
some time ago, the milk train was held
as the one train that must be kept run
ming on account of the millions of babies
whose lives depended upon it, The
milk associations are all right; they are
all fighting for the same thing now
Mr.. Downs had to leave on an early
train, and President Holt, Of the asso-
citation in Chicago, answered few
questions and instructed the members
how to get new members into the as
ISOLATION. He told them that the asso-
citation 3 determination was to win and
control the milk industry.

DEEDS FOR PARK ARE READY
Commission to Be Asked to Decide AS
to Whether or Not Public Service
Corporations Put in Conduits Under
Pomeroy st. Paving Other Work.

The city council on Monday evening
voted unanimously to vacate the stub
ends of the streets now in the plant
of the Simmons company and the prop
erty will revert to the Company as the
owners of the adjacent property after
Mayor Pfennig signs the ordinance and
it is given formal publication on Thurs
day. The streets stubs vacated include
all of Lake street from the south line
of Market street to the Kenosha Har-
Dor, that portion of Pearl street lying
east of Exchange street, all of Maiden
Lane included in the plant of the com
pany, and that portion Of Market street
lying east of Maiden Lane.
The portions of the streets vacated
will be used for extensions of the Sim
mons plant and it is probable that the
work Of covering some of them with
buildings and connections for buildings
will be started before the end of the
present year.
The passage of the ordinance brought
little discussion. There was, however,
a considerable discussion of just what
the city was going to do with the land
on Washington Island which is to be-
come the property of the city IN the
near future. The formal deeds for the
transfer of all of the property owned
by the heirs of the late 2. G. Simmons
and located on Washington Island were
read to the council and these deeds viii
be placed on record at once. At the
same time there will be turned over to
the city a gift of 100000 for the i'm

TO HAVE HIGHER RATES.
Members of the Royal Arcanum in Ke-
nosha Greatly Interested in New
Rate Schedule Soon Effective.

Nearly two hundred members of the
Royal Arcanum in this city; fifteen
hundred in Milwaukee, and several
hundred in other cities of the state are
anxiously awaiting the increase in
rates. They expect to be hit hard by
the sweeping increase in the rates of
insurance. The new schedules were
decided upon by the supreme council,
which was in session in Atlantic CITY
on September 9Th. According to lead
ing officials of the Arcanum the in
crease in rates is necessary to save the
order from financial straits. The trou-
bic can be traced back to the organiza-
ton of the order. The first schedule
of rates was too slow In 1895 the
rates were first advanced and in 1905
they were increased again, but they
were not raised enough. The Arcanum.
under its provisions carried members
past sixty-fve years of age on half
rates, which was mistake. Tt is es-
timated that there are about three
hundred thousand members in this
country and because of the increase it
is believed the order will lose from
thirty thousand to forty thousand mem
bers. 1t is claimed the Arcanum is
taking the first step in increasing and
that other fraternal orders must fol-
low. The alleged trouble is attributed
to the fact that the older members paid
too little and the younger members too
much IN making up the reserve.

HOLD BLUE BOX PARTY.

The ladies of st. Matthew IS observe
st. Matthew's Day by a reception or
some similar social function. The day
tails on Thursday of this week and the
Woman s Auxiliary will give q Blue
Box party to all the women of the
parish IN Guild hall at three O'Clock.
Mrs Il. J. Danforth comes from Mil
Waukee to make an address, and there
VIII be music and refreshments.
throughout the entire Episeopal
church its women members use little
blue boxes in which are placed their
spare CONS and thank Offering, the
contents being collected twice a wear.
Every three years the grand sum total
is presented at notable service held

ands OF dollars, the money being the

missionary work among women. Special
interest attaches to the United Offer
ing at this time because in October at
o. Louis the offering for the past three
years will be made.
st. Matthew women lead the do
cese OF Milwaukee usually in their
united offering. Every woman of St.
matthew's who has a s'blue box, is
requested to bring the contents there
OF to the party on Thursday and in
that way the usual collection made by
the treasurer from house to house will
not be necessary.

council instructed the company to 90
ahead and put in the conduits and it is
expected that an immediate appeal will
be taken to the commission.
Frandsen and johnson were awarded
the contract for sewers included in the
last list of bids secured and the contract
price was in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The work will probably be
started this year.
The council spent considerable time
discussing plans for the opening of Balm
Avenue over the tracks of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway company and
the whole matter was laid over until
the next meeting Of the council. It is
probable that it will be necessary to put
in subway in order to get safe cross
ing. If this is ordered by the railroad
commission there will be considerable
expense to the property owners on the
street in connection with the opening
of the stree over the railway tracks.
The monthly report of the city treas
urer showed that there was balance
to the credit Of the city of $209,887.14
on the first day of September. This
should give assurance that the city will
not be on the cred ledger" before the
end of the year, but a considerable
amount of the money on hand is held
FIR bond payments.
There was the usual amount of routine
work for the regular meeting and the
aldermen were kept busy until long
after midnight.

Commission to Decide.

The reasonableness of the order Of the
council demanding that the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric Company put in con-
duits on Pomeroy street is to be decided
by the Wisconsin Railroad Commission.
A considerable discussion Of this mat
ter was heard by the council. Few of
the property owners on Pomeroy street
showed interest enough to be present at
the council meeting and but three of
them had anything to say in regard to
the sentiment on conduits with the I'M
derstanding that the people would be
forced to pay service fees if the con-
duits went in. Representative Of the
public service corporation declared that
they would insist on the service fee be-
ing paid if the conduits went in and
several Of the property owners ques-
toned the desirability Of the plan. The

Building Ordinance Delayed.

The council meeting was an extended
one and the aldermen were hammering
away at one thing or another until
nearly one O'Clock.
The question of the regulation of
building in the city came before the
body but the committee ON judiciary
and ordinances was not ready to make
report on the ordinances proposed and
the whole matter was laid over until
a special meeting to be held next Mon
day evening at which time the aldermen
are hopeful that they can work way
out of the building ordinance tangle.
There appeared to be considerable senti-
ment in favor Of the building and hous-
ing ordinances but before either of
them is passed lot of changes will
have to be made to make them meet
what the aldermen consider the de-
mands of Kenosha.
The ordinance providing for the regu-
lation of. meat markets in Kenosha was
given its first reading. As the ordi-
, nance has been given the sanction Of
both the health department and the
men in the business it is expected that
it will be given second reading and
passed at the next regular meeting of
the council.

provement of the property on the island.
Many of the aldermen went on record
as being opposed to the expenditure of
the money given for the Improvement
of the property for added land They
held that the money should be expended
to make Washington Island the most
beautiful park along the Lake Shore.
1t is expected that the Island prop
erty will be formally in possession of
the city by the end of the present week
and the question of its improvement
will be at once referred to the Park
Commission. The elaborate plans for
the improvement of it will probably be
carried out the first of next spring so
that this splendid play ground which is
to be known as "Simmons Play
Ground" will be ready for the use of
the people of the city before the summer

WHEAT Gains ON
REPORT OF CROP
Wet Weather in the Northwest Proves
Bullish Tendency on Market
Quotations.

Chicago, May Wheat ran I'd rap
IDLY IN value today, Influenced chiefly
by wet weather northwest making Ger
tain further decrease in the extent of
spring crop seeding. Estimates were
current that the percentage Of aban-
doned acreage in the spring wheat belt
would be even greater than in the win
ter crop region. The market was also
bullishly affected by assertions that the
kaiser was limiting at an early peace.
Opening quotations which were Il off
to 27sc up with May at Lac to 1.1694
and July at 1.151a TO III were fol-
lowed by range that averaged only a
little under the initial top level.
The fact that deliveries on May con-
tracts were smaller than expected ex-
tended late to bring about further up
turns, Prices closed firm 1%01#c
to csc net higher with May at 116A
and July at 1177s.
Corn hardened with wheat On the
bulge, however. there was considerable
speculative selling. After opening 4c
to &c higher the market scored some
additional gain.
Weather conditions adverse to plow-
ing and planting kept the market in
favor of the bulls. The close though
was easy at the same as Saturdays
finish to 15c higher.
Oats shared in the firmness of other
cereals. The bulk of business contin-
ued to be the exchange Of May and July
options.
Lower prices on hogs weakened pro-
vitions. The only exception was May
lard, which showed a decided tighten
ing up.
