HILL Climbing
BY MOTOR BIKE
Wil-Del Club Picks Bill
Minnick to Win March
20 Competition
EXPECT RIDERS
FROM MANY TOWNS

The wil-Del Motor Cycle Associa-
ton will hold it's first hill climb OF
the season on March 20. Il will be
remembered that on the last hill
climb the winners OF each event had
to ride their best TO get the honors
and as Il was a very dangerous
course the chances the boys took
was very great.
The location OF the hill this year
Is Hilldale. This Is supposed 10 be
one OF the steepest hills in this sec
ton OF the country. The course is
laid out in an open field and the
length Is about 200 yards at a 47
degree slope. Il was made known
in town last evening that the Broad
way Cycle Company OF Philadelphia
will send down two OF its best rid
ers to compete.
Bill Arthurs. one OF the best
known racing men in the East and
the winner OF the Philadelphia hill
climb on New Years Day is expect
ed TO be on hand. Arthur will make
things hum for the local boys as hts
experience In the game covers sew
eral years and his riding ability
makes the best OF the riders come
up TO scratch.
One OF the local boys who will
ride on a new mount Is Frank Way.
He will straddle a Harley Dawson
for the local dealer and hopes TO put
up a good performance. During
practice Franks work on the hill
has been very good and with a few
more trials at the hill he will come
up with the best OF them. or course
on a new mount It will take a little
longer for him tc get used to the
motor.
Another old rider on a new ma
chine will be Pope" Neil. He will
ride a Reading Standard for the
local agent This machine was rid
den in Philadelphia on New Years
Day by Harry Klets. one OF Phila-
delphia's best. and finished is OF a
second behind the winner. As Mel
Is an old timer Il Is not expected
that astride a new motor will hinder
him from grabbing on a few firsi
prizes.
Local followers OF the Motor Cycle
game will back Bill Minnick. one Of
Wumington's best riders. Although
Bill has not done mucn riding since
his spill at Belmont last fall he Il
expected 20 make a good showtni
at the hin ciimb.
Another entry well known to tn,
racing fants is Billy Osmond. Il viii
be remembered that at ths last nil
climb Billy finished second in al
solo events being beaten by is OF I
second. His showing during prac
tice has been very good outside o
the fact that he has had several baa
spills. Mitch I'ryor. another loca
entry will make the PRO" boy
hustle for frst placs and expects I,

self.
The association is working hard {,

walk like him, as none OF them were
bow-legged, it was a hard matter To
follow his advice, though they had
some sport initiating his walk. The
muzzle OF the cannon was stamped
with the letters, j. w. R., and Run
MON said it had been with Major
J w Ringgold's Battery. A couple
Of days previous to any celebration or
other event where the cannon was to
be brought into use, the cannoneers
made themselves busy making red
flannel bags to contain three pounds
Of powder each. On the evening Of the
3rd of July 1855, the cannon was
hauled to the east bluff, overlooking
the village, for try out, and the first
shot fired, shattered every window in
the village. afterWard the people got
more cautious and raised their win
dow sash The buildings facing the
gun would be smeared with particles
of wet green grass, used for tamping.
Before the cannon would be used for
any occasion, the gunners would spend
hours i'll polishing it, to the extent of
glaSsineSs. In the fall Of 1860, the
cannon was removed to La Crosse for
the reason that Potosi did not main
tain an efficient militia company. The
cannon did not remain in La Crosse
very long before it was called into ser
vice in the war of the Rebellion.
Some of the young men, who helped
TO man the gun in Potosi, gave up their
lives in this war.
In the very early days, POtosi
maintained two first class livery
stables, one by Joseph Hall, a we'll
known man, who came to Lafayette
in 1884, afterward removing up the
hollow to what became Potosi He
built large two story stone barn, and
for many years occupied it as a livery
barn. This historical old building with
others, went down in the fires of 1918.
Martin T. Ennor and George Hayes,
under the firm name Of EnnOr and
Hayes, conducted livery stable in
a two story frame building that was
situated opposite the old City Hotel,
this building was destroyed in the fire
of 1900. They had the contract from
Frink and Walker, to carry the mail
from Potosi to Galena, using the old
time four horse rockaWay coaches.
The passenger traffic in those early
days between Potosi and Galena was
very large and some times when the
coach was filled with passengers,
others would ride on the top or on
the boot of the coach, anyway to get
to Potosi. Sylvester, better known as
Bob Baker, who had been employed
by Frink and Walker, down in Illinois
came to Potosi at an early date and
entered the employ of Ennor and
Hayes as a coach driver. Johnnie
Meredith also employed by Frink and
Walker in Indiana came to Potosi
and drove for Ennor and Hayes. Those
two drivers knew how to handle four
horses, hitched to rockaway coach.
George Hayes died in Potosi in the
f1fties. Martin T. Ennor removed to
Dunleith, now East Dubuque, in 1867
and died there many years ago.

to biography of our late lamented
citizen, Hon. ]. w. Seaton.

Public Forum
TIE NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING

A few years ago the voters of the
City Of Lancaster voted to bond the
City TO provide the funds for the
erection of Municipal Building and
i. was the general understanding, that
there was to be provided place there
in FOR the Fire Department.
1t is we'll known fact that the
Building Committee failed to have in
the plans place for housing the Fire
Fire Companies to hold their meetings
in,
If this plan is used for the municip-
al building. the City will still be in
the same state after all is completed
that it now is in, lie, without home
for the Fire Department and will be
compelled to either continue renting
some unsuitable place indefinitely, or
levy an additional tax to buy or build,
for it goes without argument that some
place must be provided. My opinion
is that the Building Committee should
take this matter up at once, and plan
to have a place fixed in the basement
of the Municipal Building for the Fire
Department as was intended by a
large majority of the taxpayers.
There can be no sane objection to
this provision, for the additional tax
for another building will be eliminated
and this unnecessary expense saved
to the already over-burdened tax
payer
] am sure that this suggestion is
just ordinary good business, and is
viewed by the great majority of the
people who will have to foot the bills,
and it will be an easy matter for the
committee to verify this statement
Now, right now, is the time to rectify
this matter and get the change into
the working plans before it is too
late The Court House experience of
making a change after contracting and
bonding, should awaken this Com
mittee as to it's duty to the public.
