NEVADA COMING HOME

The steel steamer Nevada, built here
for the Goodrich feet shortly before
the war, and early in the war and be-
fore the Russian revolution sold to the
Russian government, is to come back
to its birthplace here to be rebuilt into
a lake passenger and package freight
ship. Officials of the Pere Marquette
company which has purchased the boat
were here this week in conference with
the Shipbuilding corporation respect
ing the alterations.
1t was reported some months ago
from San Francisco that the Nevada
was at that port and was being claimed
by persons claiming to act for the
present Bolshevik government and by
agents of at least one of the defunCt
Russian governments The Nevada
was built for winter service and that
was probably one of the reasons that
Russia wanted the boat. 1t is supposed
that she had never got into service be-
fore the revolution brought on the
chaos that still exists, and it is prob
able that the Nevada did not contrib
ute much to the war. The boat was
recently brought round from the
Pacific coast to New London, Conn,
and viii be brought up the lakes at the
opening of canal navigation.

NUMBER 81

the counties of Calumet and Manito-
voc.
AT the outbreak of the Civil war he
was appointed major of the Sixth Wis
consin and later was appointed colonel
of the Twenty-frst Regiment Wiscon-
sin Volunteers, and commanded the
regiment in its Grst battle, when he
was SO severely wounded that he was
unable to return to active service.
He was assigned to command the
rebel prison, Camp Douglas, and ac-
quired great notoriety by his skillful
handling of the situation when a plot
to liberate the prisoners and capture
or burn the city of Chicago was dis
covered and frustrated. For this he
was commissioned a brigader general.
After the war he was appointed PEN
sion agent at Chicago, to which office
his daughter, Ada Sweet, succeeded
upon his death which occurred only q
few years after the war ended
As lawyer he did not practice long
enough to achieve much in the way of
reputation and his fame is that of a
gallant soldier But he belonged to the
Manitowoc bar and was our state sena-
tor at the outbreak of the war.
Edward Salomon.
Edward Salomon came to the village
of Manitowoc about 1928. lie acted
for time as deputy clerk of the cir
cult court and thus obtained some in
sight into law practice. lie was a Ger
man of high education and culture.
just when he came to the bar does not
appear, but | estimate il to have been
the fall term of 1854. The first record
is in 1886 where he appears as attor-
ney, with j. d. Markham as counsel. A
year or two after he removed to Mil
waukee where he engaged in practice.
In the election of 1862 he was chosen
las Lieutcnant-Governor with l.. p.
Harvey as governor. A few months
after entering upon the Office Gov.
Harvey was accidentally drowned
while on visit TO the army of the west
to care for wounded Wisconsin soldiers
and Mr. Salomon succeed him as gov
ernor being the FIRST and only German
to hold that office.
lie made a crcditable record, but he
was not renominated and q short time
after his term expired he removed to
New York city and resumed his law
practice there So far as can learn,
he spent his life in the profession. He
acquired a good standing and accumu-
lated a fair competence as a lawyer,
from his humble beginning in the back
woods village of Manitowoc. He died
in New York city many years ago.

WANT BIG TAX CUT

There was hearing Monday before
Judge Krwan in circuit court on the
application for temporary restrain
ing order to prevent the city from en-
forcing the collection of taxes against
the properties of the Cereal Products
company, successor to William Rahr
Sons company, on the present assess
ment. The company's property was
valued by the assessor at S9Sf,S50. The
company appeared before the board of
review last July and furnished testi-
mony tending to show that the proper
ties have not a sale value of half that
sum since prohibition came into effect.
Malt houses deprecated greatly in sale
value when prohibition became threat
ening five or six years ago, in fact there
ceased to be any market for them as
malt houses. The legal test for assess
ment purposes is the price that could
"ordinarily be obtained at private
sale" regardless of cost or reproduc-
tion value. The companies, standing
on this legal test, have been claiming
for some years that they are entitled
ITO a great reduction in their assess
ments and this company is evidently
preparing to fight it out. The board of
review will be required by the courts
to decide values as the sworn testi-
mony points but in case of conflicting
testimony the courts will not put itself
in place of the board and retry the
matter. The company wants the assess
ment reduced to less than half, and
puts the fair figure at S425,0OO instead
of the S9SI,S50 the assessor placed on
the properties. The city contended that
the proper procedure would be for
the company to now pay the tax under
protest and begin proceedings to re-
cover the illegal part of the tax, if any.
Reducing the assessment to the com
pany's figures would leave the city
around $4,000 short in its estimated
income for the year from this one
source. The matter will probably be
heard at the June term of circuit
court
At the council meeting Monday night
City Atty. Kelley reported that it had
been agreed to that the Cereal Prod
ucts company would pay its full tax
under protest and if the company won
in circuit court in June the city would
refund the money.

ENDLESS SUPPLY OF
SHARKS IS BASIS OF
NEWEST INDUSTRY
fBy~ Associated Press)

VICTORIA, June with the supply
of raw material unlimited, an industry
new to this country is f1ourishing at
Parker Island, between Galiano and
Mayne Islands on the Gulf of Georgia.
1t is the business of catching sharks.
and a weeks catch at the beginning
of May ran to eighty, with an average
weight of over a ton each. Mr. Nelson
Macdonald, of this city, who operated
the first shark-catchins machinery on
the island, declares there Will never
be a shortage as there are millions in
the waters surrounding the island. In
fact the further north you go the more
sharks you will find and from here to
Alaska are their feeding grounds, y
Mr.. Macdonald said. Taking them
from the bottom Of the sea is auto
matte. Norway has a hundred or such
industries The only real hook for
catching them. which works on a
swivel, comes from there and the So
called cod-liver oil, which invades the
markets of the world. is really shark
