FAKE DIRECTORIES

The Milwaukee Chamber of Com
merce has sent out a warning to 9th
er civic organizations throughout
the state against fake directories and
freak advertising swindles which are
being exploited over the country.
Fakes of this sort have been work
ed in River Falls with surprisingly
remunerative results, the most pecul-
lar phase of it being that those who
won't subscribe for helpful, legiti-
mate advertising always seem to be
easy prey for these itinerate ven
doris.

The City WaterWOrks

An item published in our local con
Temporary, under the caption Of
| twenty-five Years ago in River
Falls,' stated that Electric lights
aid water works for River Falls are
needed"
An inquisitive subscriber of both
local papers questioned the veracity
of this statement, and asked refer
ence to the Journal files.
Twenty-Five years ago would be in
1900; River Falls had enjoyed the
original Of it's present waterworks
system for six years prior to that
year. The electric light system was
Installed during that year $4,000
The waterworks system was OPEN
cd for service in the fall of 1894 or
twenty years ago. In this
connection it might be of interest to
publish the list of those who were
first to patronize the service. City
Clerk F. v. Williams found them on
the city records in the order of in
stallation, as follows: R. S. Free
man, G. E. Pratt, A. P. Weld, F. j.
Burhyte, F.. P. Ainsworth, DR.. f.
Ballard, j. A. Barnett, Albert Olson,
w. P. Marshall, D. F. Hardy, E. H
Daniels, DIR. Ashley, Mrs. C. j. Small
ley, F. M. Ulrich, C. N. Wiger, W.
S. Ensign, N. H. Wiger, S. D. Dodge.
Geo. j. Dodge, E. G. Rollins, c. H.
Lewis, C. d. Parker, w. D. Parker,
A. w. Kaler, Methodist Church, Mar
tin Wolf, A. P. Forsyth, E. P. Barg,
j. P. Carroll, E. A. Toby, G. R. Tag

j. M. Smith, Adam Lamb, A. E.
Michael, H. HI. LOOMS, AL. G. Ander-
son, Geo. Cornwell, Youells & Avery
and C. H. Haven.
The Fire Department first used
the service on July 81, 1894, when a
blaze was discovered in the Freeman
elevator, then located near Green
wool mills. The Journal files state
that the building certainly would
have been destroyed but for the new
waterworks system. Fred Jackman
was then engineer at the elevator,
and recalls The Incident wildly The
second fire at which the new service
was used was a blaze on Sept. IL,
1894, that threatened the home of
Sven Brolander and family. The
house was saved, but owing to a de-
lay in sending the alarm, says the
Journal of that date. the barn, con-
tanning tools, harness, a calf and a
sheep, was destroyed.
In the same year, the Kinnickinnic
staged it's greatest flood, on May 10,
1894, that necessitated the rebuilding
Of both the Maple street and the Ced-
ar street bridges. The latter was
replaced directly after the flood; the
Maple street bridge was completed in
September.
So there are several things to cred
it to the year 1894-the flood, the
two bridges and the city water works.

DRINKS Who Repeat Of.
Tense Are Made to Pay
$40 by Judge.
ONE ADMITS HIS FOLLY
Old Acquaintance of Judge
Went on Spree in Old Age
to Own Sorrow.

An elderly man with a shock of
white hair was brought before Judge
Slater this morning. Somehow, he did
not look as if he belonged to the regu-
lar Saturday nighters, and Judge Sla-
ter, as he gazed down from his bench
at the unusual figure, gave a start of
surprise.
Thomas Hunt" he read, charged
with intoxication!" The judge reached
his hand across the desk and took the
hand of the defendant in a warm hand
clasp. "Why, Tom" he cried, 81 am
surprised at you'll Surprised and sor-
ry too"
And l am sorry" replied the other.
Il thought you were over escapades
like this long ago." said the judge.
Too Old to Stand 1t.
81 am over it," earnestly returned
the elderly defendant, But yesterday
AFTERNOON just after I arrived in town,
was foolish enough to take a drink
with man at his invitation, and Pm
too old to stand it. 1 got into town at
5 o'clock and was arrested at 6. I'm
old enough to know better, that's the
truth"
"Well, Tom, you're pretty we'll &C
quainted with me, and you always
found me bit severe, but just"
Il know you are just" returned the
other stoutly.
"And I am going to let you go, but
you know what that means"
eyes, it means that you won't ever
see me again in court"
at means that if do see you again,
you'll get something different"
Another man, younger than the first
defendant, when brought before Judge
Slater on the charge Of intoxication
and asked what excuse he had, said
that he had none at all. He told the
judge that it was the first time in
twenty years that he had been arrested
on the charge Of intoxication and only
the second time in his life that he was
faced with such charge. He was fined
81 and costs.
Another, however, who was brought
in for the second time within the
month was given fine of SIS and costs
or about ten dollars for intoxication
The man, Ruffalo Macarry, said that
he was arrested for drunkenness two
weeks ago. Judge Slater kept his
promise that he would be severe on
repeaters who refused to learn their
lesson when fined once.
A wife-beater was released by the
judge on the payment of S. and costs
when the wife interceded. Judge Sla-
ter declared that if ever the man in
dulged in similar gymnastics again he
would get jail term. He ordered the
defendant to pay over all the money
he had on his person to his wife, which
was $85. The man obeyed.

To Concentrate
All Air Machines
U. s. AS Lighter han-Air Craft to
be Brought to BelIevilIe,
Illinois, Field.


Belleville, Ill.-Virtually all of the
United States army's lighter-than-air
craft, including balloons and airships
of all types, will be concentrated at
Scott Field, near here, if present plans
are approved by Secretary of War
Weeks, according to officers at the post.
The poas was a temporary flying field
during the war, and will be rebuilt
at cost of several million dollars
under the plan.
The plan, which, the officers say, has
been submitted to Secretary Weeks
by Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief
of the United States air service, pro
vides that the lighter-than-air craft
schools at Langley Field, Va, and Ar
cadia Field, Calf, be consolidated
and moved to Scott Field.
A giant hangar, the second largest
structure of its kind in the country,
designed to house dirigibles, is under
construction at the field and will be
completed early this summer. A Sec
ond similar structure, costing $780,
900 also is to be built, officers say.
Large numbers of dirigibles of the
army are to be brought to Scott Field
as soon as sufficient hangers are com
plete to care for them.
The majority of the buildings at the
post are temporary structures, and
these are to be eliminated, the field
laid out on a new and larger design,
and permanent structures erected, when
the plans are approved.
