CAVES HOTEL
IS IN MARKET
Talking of Selling This Popular
Manitowoc Resort
STEINBRECIIERS WISH TO GIVE IT UP
It May be Sold And Used as a
Sanitarium
ESPECIALY POR CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS
An Ideal Resort Which Has Been Greatly
Favored by Those Seeking Enjoy
ment in The Summer
The Caves hotel at Cooperstown may
soon change hands, the Steiubrecker
family who own and run it, have been
looking for purchasers, and if they can
enter into a deal the hotel will be trans
ferred to some other parties.
The hotel has been a rendevouz for
Manitowoc people during the spring,
summer and antumn, many persons go
ing there to enjoy the beauty of the sur
roundings, aud gather rest from the en
vironment. The management of the
hostelery was in charge of Mrs. Stein
brecker. but Father Steinbrecker of
Kaukauna, was somewhat interested in
the property.
When the information leaked out
that the property was to be sold the hope
was generally expressed that the uew
owners would continue as hotel,
though this may not be the case. It
has been suggested that the Caves hotel
would make au excellent sanitarium,
especially for consumptives and should
the state embark on the project of ac
quiring a sanitarium for consumptives
an effort may be made to induce the
state to acquire this property. It is
said the air and general surroundings
would do much to help this class of per
sons to the restoration of good health.
There is one objection, however, urged
against the use of the Caves hotel for
sanitarium purposes, and that is that it
is not quite as accessible as it should be
for persons in poor health, otherwise it
would be an ideal place.
Should the Caves hotel be turned a
way from its present nse, it will be a
sore disappointment to thousands of
persons in the country especially for
those who, Sunday by Sunday wended
their way to this spot to revel in the
sylvan beauties so lavish there.

ARBOR DAY SHOULD
BE GENERALLY OBSERVED
ON THE FIRST OF MAY
The governor has issued his Arbor
Day proclamation, the date being set
for May 1, and in it he suggests that
all the schools of the state will appro
priately observe it. Heretofore Arbor
Day has not been generally observed
in Manitowoc county, though the cus
tom is a beautiful and instructive one.
The idea of tree planting brings to the
children the mystery and glory of nature
as reflected in forest and field and it
would be wise to follow the governor’s
suggestion and hold proper ceremonies,
fitting the day.
Larrabee Fair Changes Dates
It has been decided to change the date
of the Larrabee cattle fair from the

the first Wednesday in that month, and

HIGH SCHOOL
PROJECT IS UP
Northside School Board Taking
Options on Property
MAY ENCOUNTER SOME OPPOSITION
A Communication Showing That There
Will be a Fight
TALK AGAIN OF A CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
11. L. Markham and Thos. E. Torrison Ad
mil Something Will Be Done—The
First Definite Move
Ttie Northside School board proposes
to erect anew building for school pur
poses and with this end in view has se
cured several options on property con
tiguous to Park School house. It was
very generally rumored that the North
side directors would build a structure
for high school purposes alone as this
is thought necessary.
The news that such a move was con
templated ias aroused the Southside
people to fca o jeßt that the city have a
central high school, fully equipped, in
charge of competent teachers, and ac
cessible to all the young people who are
now in the high schools.
H. L. Markham, one of the directors,
admitted that options had been secured
on property, but he added that nothing
definite had been done by the board and
he was not certain just what purpose
the new building would be put to. He
said he would be in favor of a central
high school, if it could be governed by
members of a Central board, each mem
ber representing a school district, and
that politics would not enter into tne
election. Thos. E. Turrieou also frankly
stated that a move is on foot for the
erection of another school house. The
following communication to Tiie Pilot
relative to this subject is herewith
printed:
Editor Pilot: “It does not seem to
bo generally known by the taxpayers,
that the Northside School board has an
option on the vacant property opposite
Mr. Spindler's residence, to build a
high school building on it for tiie North
side exclusively. Now we will concede
that a high school is needed, but it
should be for the whole city, and not
put upon the shoulders of the North
side taxpayers. The taxes are high
enough now, without any such
extravageut move on the part of the
the Second Ward School board. Those
who are not in favor of being taxed for
thier enterprise, had better ho prompt to
attend the school meeting in April, when
the matter will be voted on. Women’s
vole count as well as men’s in school
matters so there will probably be quite
a meeting when the affair is to lie put
to a vote.” A TAXPAYER.

Palm Sunday will be observed next

MEN AFTER THE
CITY OFFICES
Dr. Kemper Will Not Make Any
Announcements
UNTIL AFTER HE IS ELECTED
The Cily Attorneyship May Bea Bone
Contention
SEVERAL LAWYERS AFTER THE PLACE
The Doctor Arranges His Hours for the
Transaction of the Business of
the Municipality
By carrying through the compromise
Dr. W. G. Kemper will be elected
mayor and John Mahnke city treasurer
The Republican convention last Sat nr
day endorsed the Democratic nomi
nation for mayor and the Democratic
convention endorsed the Republican
nomination for city treasurer. This is
an arrangement which has met with
unusual favor by all citizen* irrespective
of party and the two gentlemen are as
good as elected. Both men promise to
serve the city faithfully and intelligent
ly in their respective offices.
Since the compromise was effected
there has been considerable talk as to
who will get the offices. The mayor
practically has only the appointment of
two men, the chief of police and the
chief of tiie tire department coming
under the civil service rule, and there
is no liklihood of either of these men
Iteing supplanted by new men. Dr
Kemper will then have the appoint
ment of city engineer and city attorney.
On the day following his election Dr.
Kemper says he will announce these
appointments. Mr. Pit/, is at present
city engineer and Ed. L. Kelley city
attorney and a member of the Board of
Public Works. For the city attorney
ship several applicants desire the place.
Mr. Kelley wishes m retain the office
which ho has held for nearly three
years and requests have been made to
Dr. Kemper to continue him in office.
John lloaly, a Democrat, and a young
attorney, also hopes lie may l>e chosen
for this office. He was the Democratic
nominee, in the last election, for the
office of district attorney. The name
of Edward S. Schmitz has also lieen
prominently mentioned as a likely
person lo receive the appointment, but
as yet the doctor lias not made his will
known.
Dr. Kemper wishes The Pilot tosay for
him that he will he in the city office
after his assumption of civic duties
from 5 o’clock until 6 o'clock daily and
all jtersons wishing to transact business
with him may do so during that hour.
