Petition Circulated by George n. Wocd
Among the Business Men on the
East Side of the River for Pro-
tecticH Wall

A petition signed by forty-four busi-
ness people was presented to the Com
con Council Tuesday evening request
ing that~they take up the matter of
building a retaining wall from the
Christian Science Church to the Ar
mary building of sufficient height to
protect the entire east side Of the city
from flooding in case the floods Of 1880
might be repeated.
The petition follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Wisconsin
Rapids, Wisconsin:
WHEREAS, due to the various and
extensive improvements made in the
mill and dam properties of the Con
solidated Water Power and Paper
Company, the natural course of the
Wisconsin River has been changed
from Northerly and Southerly course
to a course more Easterly, by which
the river now has direct shoot to-
wards the Easterly side Of the river
bank, and
WHEREAS, We the undersigned who
have either seen or heard of the va
rious floods which have occurred a
long the Wisconsin River realize that
should ever another food or high wa
ter stages occur that it would mean
in all probability The complete wiping
out and destroying of the East Side
River business sections, and
The only way in our opinion TO play
safe and protect al of the property, as
well as the lives of our citizens, will be
for the City, or the City and the Con
solidated jointly, to erect and build, at
once, high enough and sufficient wall
along the East side river bank espec-
tally near what is known as the Libra
ry, Bodette, Fontaine and Amusement
Company properties, SO that in case
of high water the people will be pro-
tected which they need and which they
should have.
We, the undersigned, are asking
this Petition in behalf Of the safety
of the said people of Wisconsin Rap
ids and believe that after fair and
impartial investigation you will agree
with US that the same should be done
to protect our citizens and property.

mother

In loving memory Of our dear mo-
ther, Caroline Voigt, who passed a.
way five years ago today, January 7,
1917.
No longer on this earth we see her
gentle loving face,
There IS no one in this world can
take our mothers place.
Worthy of respect was she, Of those
she left behind,
A better mother there could not be
more true and kind.
Like ivy on a withered oak where all
things else decay,
Cur love for her will still keep green
and never fade away.
In life We loved her dearly,
In death We do the same.
More and more eac6 day we miss
you, dear mother,
Friends may think She wound is
healed,
But they little know TIE sorrow that
lies within our hearts concealed.
Sadly missed by Her Children.

them closer relation to and under
standing of the principles and ideals
for which we unsheathed the sword.
Extend Liberty Bonds.
From every standpoint, the refund
ing of our Liberty loans into new
consolidated issue in which the range
of maturity is extended from twenty
five, say to fifty years, would be a
sound, businesslike, forward-looking
procedure. 1t would Immediately re-
duce by half the obligations which we
must meet in the next score of years
OF so and allow US to get economically
solid ground once more under our
feet.
There would be another immedi-
ate benefit from such course-one
thai experinece with long term Sc
.curities would indicate-and that is
increase of the market price of Lib
erty bonds. Investors pay more for
bond of long maturity, than for one
that will be redeemed in a shorter
period. This is an accepted fact with
financiers. Application of this prin-
clple to Liberty bonds would be GER
tain to result in a greater demand for
them and in their increased value in
the market
With requirements for ordinary cur
rent expenses reduced by government
al agencies of every kind, by radical
retrenchment, and the distribution of
the payment of our public debt over
longer period, we would be safely on
our way once more to period of en-
during, natural prosperity.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Italy was declared in an official dispatch re ceived today from Rome to be rapidly returning to state of normalcy with the position of Premier Facta's govern ment stronger as the result of the dis cussions in Parliament just concluded.
 Events in the last two meetings of the parliament which concluded with the notable assertion of confi- dence in the Facta cabinet prove how far normalcy has returned, not only throughout the country, but als in the chamber of deputies itself,' the dis patch said.
 Not less satisfactory is the internal situation of the country which is rap idly returning to legal and civil bas- is. Late tonight August 12), the pro vince of Genoa has been taken over again by the civily authorities after having been under martial law"

l. L. Hubbard, general mar.ager of the Sanra Fe Coast lines saio today.
 Some of the trains have been tied up for two days in an intense heat and the general manager sa-G the crews would be urged to bring the passen- gers to their destination as "a matter of humanity"
 Other westbound trains of the San ta Fe enroute when the desert walk out occurred, have re-routed over the Southern Pacific and will come through, provided there is no tie-up on the latter road.
 MT. Hubbard said it would be inad- visable to attempt to move the pas. sengers in. automobiles, as it is long trip across the desert and would re- quire many machines for which the only available drivers were unacduain ted with the road and inexperienced in desert travel.

 There has been some cloak room gossip referred to several times cn the senate floor recently by Democratic opponents of the bill that the tariff wiuId die in conference.
 Appointment o fthe senate conferees on the bill is awaited with great in terest at the capitol. The rule here tofore has been that the three ranking Republicans and two ranking Demo crats on the finance committee were named to represent the senate, but since Senator La Folett of Wisconsin who Wa sopposd that tariff bill is the third ranking Republican,, there has been speculation as to whether he will be apointed.
 With the tariff out of the way, the senate next will be faced by the sol dier bonus bill. Senator McCumber plans to call this up the week after the tariff measure is passed.

 Union Pacific trains, which were tied up in Nevada, on the Salt Lake Los Angeles railroad. began moving shortly after noon when big four train men who had gone on strike went back to their posts. Two of the trains were at Las Vegas and it was report ed Governor Emmett D. Boyle, of Ne vada, had left for that point to take charge Of the situation.
 The two daily Western Pacific trains were annulled on account of strike conditions at Oakland and Stockton, two C...prnie points where brotherhood men had refused to work as long as armed guards were retain ed. One Western Pacific train was ! abandoned by it's crew after arriving at Stockton today from Salt Lake City
