The proposed new grandstand at the Elgin automobile course will be 300 feet in length and will seat 6,000 peo­ ple. It will be situated at the start and the finish of the course and the cost is estimated at $10,000. The village of Grayslake has puis Chased a new whistle for t he condens­ ing factory at that place to be used as » fire whistle. According to the Grays­ lake Times the whistle has a voice like a fog horn andean be heard for twenty-five miles on a clear day. Following a lapse of five or six years the officers of the Elgin Gun club an­ nounce that the annual crow hunt of the club would be.resumed in> May of this year. When the club held its meets several years ago from 1,200 to 1,400 crows were killed during the all day slaughter. Nelson, the 11-year^old son of W. C. Bryant, of Crystal Lake, fell from a staging at the Crystal Lake opera house one day last week and escaped without injury. The distance the boy fell was thirty-five feet, but he got up and walked home, evidently none the worse for the experience. Sparks from a chimney set fire to the roof at the building occupied by the Inland Lakes Boat company at Lake Geneva, Wis., one day recently and for a time it was feared that the structure would be destroyed. Ready hands with buckets speedily quenched the blaze before much damage was done. ^ BHfty-five' yean ago Franlk B. Per­ kins of Elgin rang the first bell ever placed on the Elgin academy at the formal opening of the school. On Thursday morning of last week Mr. Perkins was the first man to ring the new bell placed in the remodeled build­ ing. The old bell was destroyed in the fire that partially demolished the build­ ing some months ago. The new building for the Industrial Home for Children at'Woodstock was occupied for the first time on Tuesday of last week. About $85 worth of new furniture has been purchased for the institution but only a portion of it has arrived. Just as soon as the balance of the furniture comes and the home is completed it will be thrown open for the inspection of the public. The same evening that the new building was opened six homeless waifs arrived at the county seat to become occupants of the place. The King split log drag is being used in many cities and villages as well as on the rural highways in grad­ ing this spring. Instead of putting gravel on the streets many cities have adopted the split log drag for road im­ provement. The drag makes the street level, free from excess mud and dust and puts dirt .roads in the best of con­ dition. This is the season of the year for farmers to get out with the split log drag. The roads can b&t rounded off and packed as at no other time of the year and a day's work on the high­ ways at this time will do more good than a week's work later in the sea­ son. , The winter just closed has die reoord snow fall of any winter in fourteen years, say those who have kept tab on such matters. The total charged to this winter's snow fall is 41.1 inches and that of fourteen years ago, or the winter of 1897-6, was 46.3 inches. And the big snow month of this winter was March, the record of which reached 23.3 inches. November's record was 2.5 inches, that for December 3.5 inches, January 2.5 inches and Feb­ ruary 11.3, leaving March with the phenomenal total of 23.3 inches. The total snow fall of the winter a year ago was 17.5 inches, that of two years ago 27.3 inches and Jthree and four years ago 15.9 and 24.9 inches respectively. The first power plowing outfit to be brought into Richmond township is owned by W. H. Hendrickson, who has just purchased a 20 horse power Inter­ national gasoline traction engine and a six gang plow, his intention being to do custom plowing during the spring and fall seasons for the farmers of that community. Mr. Hendrickson's new engine arrived Monday of last week and the plow is expected within a few days, so he will be prepared to take contracts for work as soon as the season opens. With his new equipment Mr. Hendrickson will be able to plow about fifteen to twenty acres per day. To turn the same amount of soil with horses would take a week or more, for an average of two to three acres per day is about the best that can be done, by a man and team. Early Ohio seed nt Math. Laures'. II EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS Oil NATTERS K* - TA1NBW TO VILLAGE AFFAIRS. TO the voters of the village of Mc­ Henry: Another yetar has passed and again the voters must pass upon the question of who shall represent them on the village board for the next year, but before doing so it may be well to go baek over the last year and recall what took place and the conditions that pre­ vailed during that time. A year ago we started in with a few hundred dollars in the treasury, our income for the year was a trifle over $7000.00. This money is all spent and the village is behind if all bills had been audited, but some were put over till May, or carried over into the next fiscal year, to be paid out of an antici­ pated income. New ordinances were passed and good oiies they Were, if en- forced. The board regularly appointed the following Officers: Village marshals treasurer, board of health, village at­ torney and village collector. As vil­ lage attorney, Mr. V. S. Lumley of Woodstock was regularly appointed. Owing to the fact that the revised ordinances were not completed when the time came to make the appoint­ ment, but subsequently, it must have occurred to some members of the board that someone else Should be put on the pay roll, so without in any way dis­ charging Mr. Lumley, Mr. Lang of Richmond, 111., was appointed, also, village attorney, giving the village of McHenry the distinction of having two attorneys, for which the village musi pay. After the new ordinances were ac­ cepted and passed by the board, Mr. Lumley asked the board if the ordi­ nances should be enforced. The board unanimously instruetedium to enforce them, but shortly after another attor­ ney was appointed, and within forty- eight hours in went the slot machines and the lid was off, and how completely it was off everyone, knows. Over a dozen burglaries were committed in our village and not one arrest. Such a wave of crime has never been known in the history at the village by the oldest inhabitant. Who is to blame? Who is to blame for this wave of law­ lessness, and for the frightful condition of bur streets and crossings? Why is there no respfcet for law and decency? If you, Mr. Voter, will go out after ten o'clock at night and see where some members of the board spend their Urns you will have the answer. , Another thing, Mr. Voter. Sidewalks' were built for P. B. Freund on the West Side and up till now he has abso­ lutely refused to pay, saying he would* never pay. vThe MeHenry House has not up till now paid anything and with Mat Weber as godfather over the Mc­ Henry House, how will the village of McHenry come into its own? Are they any better than you or I? What we stand for, first of all, is a change from present conditions--clean­ er sidewalks, cleaner crossings, fewer burglaries, a day's work for a day's pay. Some of us who have been robbed and nearly burned out' feel deeper on the matter than those who have escaped so far, but remember, you may be next. Now, Mr, Voter, a last word, we ask your vote on next Tuesday, and not a vote for one or two on the ticket, but the entire ticket, for unless the right and fair-thinking people have a majority on the board nothing can be accomplished. We will do our duty and comply with our oath of office con­ sistent with a liberal and broad ad­ ministration, and will ask or give no quarter to anyone. We are opposed to continuing the worse-than-useless expenditure of mon­ ey for village marshals as practiced for some years past. We are in favor of employing a street commissioner, to whom shall be delegated police jwwer and whose duty shall be to render a full day's work in keeping sid.ewalks, crossings and streets in proper and sanitary condition, and shall have su­ pervision of the alleys and work under the orders of, the board of health, that he shall pump the water and keep the fire apparatus in order and shall have no other occupation, but shall devote his entire time to the interests of the village. According to la'w the entire village board are peace officers and are fully competent. We are in favor of appointing a night watchman, whose duty it shall be to visit all parts of the village as many times during the night as may be hereafter determined by the board. We are in favor of considering im­ partially the propositions from any cit­ izen who is competent and willing for the above position. We are opposed to building two- story, double-decked sidewalks for people who already have goods walks and leave many of our deserving citi­ zens without walks or crossings at all. We are in favor of the street oominis- sioner sprinkling the streets out of the hydrants and throwing out the stag­ nant water during the summer season, and thus saving the heavy cost of pay­ ing a special street sprinkler. We are opposed to allowing our pump­ ing station to be used for colonizers (Continued on pags four) CARRES ALL FWT ^UNTFFIS« HS DISTRICT , HDRTUBCr, JOSV YH. TR TOM AW WILLIAMS ARE ALSO WINKEFS-JOS. W. FREUND HAS FIGHTING CHANCE. Tuesday was primary day and on this day was fought one of the fiercest battles for ^tate and county offices ever waged in the state.

Peck Pre. Committeemen.if. H. Wattles, J. C. Ladd Here in McHenry the vote was a surprise in more ways than one. First of all, taking the \deal weather condi­ tions into consideration, the vote was not as large as was anticipated by those who keep tab. It was also brought to light that quite a number remained away from the polls for the reason that they did not approve of the new primary voting. It was also learned that the Democratic vote polled here was larger than two years ago. Two years ago 116 Democratic ballots were voted, while this year 144 voters in the McHenry precinct voted that way. This, however, can be accounted for for the reason that Joseph W. Freund of this village was a Democratic candi­ date for representative in this, the eighth district. Mr. Freund tffertainly was given one grand endorsement by the people of this district, who gave him 358} votes. The race >for fin particular office on the Democratic ticket Is still undecid­ ed and^ from all reports the McHenry man has an equal chance of landing the nomination. The vote in the McHenry and Ring- wood precincts is given, below. Mc­ Henry is the second, while Ringwood is the first precinct. We were unable to get the offioial Democratic vote of the Ringwood precinct and for that reason we give the McHenry precinct only. At Ringwood only thirty-two Democratic votes were cast. The total vote cast in the McHenry precinct was 390; Ringwood, 109. R--while--. son OMITHD RATH rRHIDUT. 2nd Pie 1st Pre Taft 7» Roosevelt US 40 LaPollette SI is WOn DMOID STATMSMATO*. Hugh S.
