NOTLn Oh IOyu0LCO along the WIS
cOnsin river as far as Portage are ex-
tensive meadows which in years past
have yielded hundreds of tons of first
class marsh hay. During the past few
years, owing to the high water level
caused by the water being backed up
from the dam at Prairie du Sac, it
has been impossible to cut these mea-
dows with any degree of safety. The
parties who own this land, feeling
that everyone must produce all he can
this year, have petitioned the power
company to lower the head of water
in Lake Wisconsin for a short time
so that the marshes may dry up suffi-
GENTLY to be cut.
The dog population of Kenosha is
apparently doomed. A license OF 500
year is provided in an amendment
to the present ordinance, and another
provision reads that all dogs must be
muzzled at all times. This doubtless
is the highest tax proposed on dogs
in any city in the west, and probably
means determination of the canine
from that witty. Action was taken
| following the death of Eleanor Lin
den, a little girl who contracted n.y.
drophobia following a dog bite.
