OUR HOME TOWN ODYSSEYS
The superintendent of the Wisconsin Historical soci
ety waxes elated over the discovery of certain historical
records touching on the career of the city of Kenosha
nearly a century ago. He urges the city to establish its
own historical society and keep stories and relics of its
early days.
It is an admonition that every in the country might
heed. There are unnumbered odysseys in the tales of our
cities and towns, each built by sacrifice and self-denial,
each the dream of brave men and women who were will
ing to be pioneers. It is a great thing for a town to know
its own history and be proud of it.
ROADS AND GASOLINE
It requires no elaborate argument to convince any
person of intelligence that good roads make possible
great savings in time, vehicle wear and gasoline consump
tion, to say nothing of the added comfort of travel.
Tests on a scale extensive enough to fairly determine
what these savings amount to were recently undertaken
with several two-ton trucks. It was found that on average
dirt roads these trucks would travel slightly less than six
miles on a gallon of gasoline, while on paved roads twelve
miles to the gallon. In tire cost it was found that paved
roads likewise showed a saving of approximately one
half, as compared with macadamized roads. While the
exact saving in wear and tear of the vehicle, aside from
tires, is not so easily determined, it seems safe to assume
that the life of a car would also be practically doubled
to pay for themselves long before they are worn out,
through the exclusive use of paved roads. Considering
gasoline alone, it appears that good roads save enough
leaving the savings in tires and vehicles as clear profit.
Hopeful note from a newspaper of Victoria, B. C.:
“The board was gratified to learn that receipts were 50
per cent greater than last year and the hope was expres
sed that next year the cemetery will be self-supporting.”
A negro Baptist preacher of Tampa, Fla., has taken
drastic steps to reform conditions in his church, as in
choated by the following published notice: “To whom it
may concern: I, Rev. G. W. Code, pastor, have turned
out all the members of the Friendship church for not at
tending as they ought to. I am going to start a revival
meeting and get a new congregation/'
Ministers of the Grape Belt Association in the State
of New York .have protested against straw votes on pro
hibition, which indicates that the grape market is satis
factory under present conditions.
The dress of modern women should either be reform
ed or abolished.
Mike Sullivan, who has been pass
ing the winter in Los Angeles, re
ports that the General Petroleum com
pany’s drilling crew, under the direc
tion of Max App, supt. in charge, will
come north from California and de
part from Seattle, en route for Yaga
taga, about the middle of April. The
big company has a well equipped drill
ing rig on the ground, or within a short
distance from the Sullivan claim, the
first one to be drilled, and has a large
amount of supplies and necessary
equipment to the scee of drilling op
erations.

MARATHON RAGE ON
FOURTH OF JULY WILL
BE GREAT ATTRAGTION
With the Fourth of July drawing
near and the talk af the big mara
thon race dinning the ears of the
majority about town, The Gateway
is going to take the initiative in the
matter of advertising the affair and
will place in both its weekly, which
reaches well over 900 paid, subscrib
ers, and in its daily which covers a
mark which is not as large, but suf
ficient to convey to the district,
t'hru an advertisement. The mara
thon race in Seward should eclipse
anything heretofore put out and
many of the merchants have signi
fied their support and have given us
the tip that it should be made a
memorable event. With this to our
credit, let’s talk it up and get the
ball rolling and make it the event
that it should be.
Another thing, by way of the
Fourth, the great national sport is
receiving much impetus at the pres
ent time. Baseball, as always, reigns
supreme at any celebration and will
in Seward as before so those who
are interested in baseball should di
vide their efforts with the marathon
race and at the same time push both
over big. The kiddies will also
have their share of the fun and will
have sufficient prizes regardless’ of
what purses are put up for the mani
events before mentioned. As said
before, with the merchants willing
to cooperate in this affair who is go
ing to take the steps in advancing
a program which will be a credit to
the town? Let’s put it up to the fire
lads for a decision as they are cap^
able and have the hands and heads
behind them to leave not a trace of
lax in their path.

WHIIT MT NEIGHBOR SITS
Is of Interest to Seward Folks.
When one has had the misfortune^
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands.
Who could ask for a better exemple?
Mrs. R. V. Rowe, Box 683, Juneau,
Alaska, says: “I was in bad shape
from kidney complaint. I had terri
ble pains in my back. Morning I
could hardly move and it took some
time to straighten my back. I tired
easily and didn’t feel like doing my
housework, was nervous and couldnt’
sit still at times. I read about Doan’s
Pills and after using three boxes I
felt like myself again.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Rowe had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,

Eureka, Calif.—E. I. Roberts, con
victed of manslaughter in connection
with the death of his wife some time
ago, will receive sentence next week.
He was chargd with having beaten
her, and then left to play poker all
night. She died of her injuries before
he returned in the morning.
New York.—Jay Gould, who has held
the American court tennis champion
ship for twenty years, surrendered
his title to C. S. Cutting of New York
who won by default.
