ural causes.

PITTS LEASES
ARE CLOSED UP
Companies With StOress in
Many Cities Get Main
Street Building.
READY BY APRIL FIRST

After months of negotiations, an
nouncement was made this morning
that leases for the building of Joseph
A. Pitts, 210-212 Main street, have
been sealed, signed and delivered and
early in April two great national COM
panies maintaining stores in many of
the cities of the country will open
stores in Kenosha. The south store of
the big building has been leased to the
E-B Shoe company of Detroit, Mich,
TO be used as one of the finest shoe
stores ever opened in this section of
Wisconsin. The company now controls
stores in more than twenty cities of
the United States. Two of the stores
are located in Racine and the new
store in Kenosha will be similar to
the stores maintained by the company
in Racine. The lease is for term of
eight years and the company is to
have possession Of the store by March
18th. 1t was admitted this morning
that the work of installing new
front and making other changes in the
building would make it impossible to
live up to this provision of the lease.
Union Wooden Mills Coming.
The Union Wooden Mills of Chicago,
company which now has stores in
fifteen cities of the country, has taken
the lease for the north portion of the
big store building. Agents of the COM
pany were in Kenosha today making
plans for the opening Of the store and
it was said that the company would
be ready to open for business just as
soon as the store room is ready Both
Of these companies are widely known
to the mercantile business of the coun-
try.
1t was announced sometime ago that
a local company would take lease on
the property, but the deal fell down
after lease had been made and since
that time score of people have been
seeking to lease the building.
"The leases are all closed up now"
declared Mr.. Pitts this morning. "Just
as soon as we can get tile, the work of
sutting in the new front will go for
@ard. expect the building to be
ready for the tenants by the first Of
April"

HILL COMP ANY
BUYS BIG DOCKS
Property Of FL. S. VanIngen
Along Harbor Goes to
Hill Boat Line.
is AFTER Big TRADE
Docks Are Planned as Part of
Movement to Care for Trans
Atlantic Trade Later On.

Kenosha's first step toward taking
part of the Transatlantic steamer
trade was taken this morning when
the Hill Steamboat Line closed a deal
for the purchase of the Van Ingen
dock property, one Of the most valu-
able holdings along Lake Michigan.
Through Charles H. Pfennig, the prop
erty was sold to the Hill company by
Il. S. Van Ingen Of Yonkers, New York
and while the consideration of the deal
was not made public the price paid
for the property is said to have been
between sixty and seventy thousand
dollars. The property fronts two
hundred feet on the new Main street
and it has harbor frontage of 565
feet. The Hill company some time ago
purchased the Morgan Club house prop
erty and with the purchase concluded
today the company takes control of all
the harbor frontage from Middle street
to the bridge. The company now has a
total harbor frontage Of oyer 1000 feet.
No Immediate Improvement.
At the offices of the company this
morning it was declared that the COM
pany had made no immediate plans for
the Improvement of the property and
that it would probably be offered for
lease to the coal dealers of the city in
order to make it possible for them to
bring in the coal by rail.sm"We are
going to anticipatsa.thesc coming ofthe
transatlantic trade" declared repre-
sentative of the company today. "Some
time there is going to be demand
for great dock here for the docking
of steamers plying all the way from
Kenosha to the European ports. 1t
may be some years, but this great
trade is now on the way and we are
going to be in position to aid in MAX
ing this new and greater transportation
system of value to Kenosha."
Seeks Railway Connections.
eve shall seek at once to provide
rail connections with this dock prop
erty. We believe that a plan can be
worked out by which trackage can be
installed under the new bridge and the
tracks brought to the dock in connec-
ton with the tracks of the Allen COM
pany. We have as yet not taken up
this matter with the railway company
but we are hopeful that the people of
Kenosha will see the great value which
will come out of having such dock
with proper rail connections. It is go
ing to mean much to the development
of the city in the future and we want
to do our part along this line In a
short time this matter will take a
definite part. Meantime the property
is going to be open for the use of
shippers in Kenosha and we hope that
they will appreciate the value Of lake
transportation in cutting transporta-
ton costs of many products"

Mquiring Reporter
ToDAY's QUESTION:

"Do you think the aeroplane will
ever surpass the automobile CONNER
cially?"
ANSWERS:
John McKune, 318 Lincoln avenue,
piano dealer.-I don't think that it has
been developed to a point where the
aeroplane is as safe or safer than the
automobile. This is the big thing in
determining the value of the aeroplane
industrially. They haven't developed
machine that can handle the traffic
like a truck can.
Miss S. Nelson, 81 English court,
sales clerk-W Women are a big figure
in industry and if they introduce the
aeroplane as means of transportation
they will have to make the women ac-
quainted with air riding first. I think
that the women are too inclined to
stay on old Mother Earth
William Kamm, 257 Church street,
tire salesman think they will some
day, but the aeroplane will never com
pletely take the place Of the automo-
bile. The auto is here to stay.
H. S. Southmayd, 691 Exchange-st,
salesman-I think that eventually the
aeroplane will equal if not surpass the
auto commercially. To some this may
seem fight of imagination, but
refer them to the state of affairs 20
years ago when no one would believe
that the auto would ever take the place
of the horse in industry and pleasure.
H. H, Tunder, 815 Park-st., chemist
In this day and age of progress I
think that there are very few things
that are impossible to the scientist
and inventor. They will soon have an
aeroplane that will rise vertically from
the earth, and I wouldn't be surprised
but what they will have an aeroplane
of carrying capacity and of the safe
ty of any automobile on the market
before very long.

MACHINE SHOP
FOR CITY SCHOOL
Equipment for the Manual
Training Metal Depart
ment Arrives.
GOES TO HIGH SCHOOL

Kenosha is to have fully equipped
department for the teaching Of the
metal trades with the opening of the
new school year in September as this
morning a carload of equipment for
the new. school reached Kenosha and
the work of setting up the machinery
will be started in the next few days.
The new department of the manual
training high school work will be To-
Gated in the southeast basement room
at the High school and the work of
instructions in metal trades will be
under the direction of special teach
er to be employed by the board Of edu-
cation later. The cost of the equip
ment for the new department was
slightly over $4,000 and it is expected
that the course will prove most at
tractive to Kenosha boys. 1t is be-
lieved that the introduction of this
new course will very largely increase
the attendance in the manual training
department of the schools.
Equipment Is Modern.
The board of education has pur-
chased for the department the most
modern equipment possible. There
will be two power lathes, two drill
presses, surface grinder, shaper, arbor
press, and power hack-saw, all oper-
ated under a plant to be installed at
the school. This will offer to Kenosha
boys an early training in work on ma
chimes which are used in nearly all Of
the factories of Kenosha. The move
for education along this line has had
the hearty support of leaders of the
industrial life of Kenosha as it is de-
signed to prepare the boys for work
as machinists in the factories in Ke-
nosha.
eve believe that this course will be
the most interesting ever offered in
the manual training department" de-
clared Director Kern Of the depart
ment this morning. "There is direct
need for education along this line in
Kenosha and we believe that the de-
partment will bring into the high
school many of the boys who want to
learn work in the machine line but who
in the past have quit the schools to go
into the factories to get their prac-
teal education along these lines"
Takes Time to Arrange Shop.
Director Kern would like to have the
work offered before the opening of the
new year but the equipment just ar
rived today and it will take several
weeks to get the "shop" ready for the
students.
meantime we are making furni-
ture," declared Director Kern, eve
are just completing the work OF MAX
ing twenty-five desks to be used in the
drawing department. These desks are
along approved lines, fitted out with
cabinets for the drawing boards and
each has four individual lockers for
the use of the different students using
them. The furniture which has been
made by the students in the depart
ment will compare favorably with that
made in any factory. We know that
it will meet every demand"
