Morris tribune., 1889-04-10

Who said we were going to have q
sewer?
Who said we were going to have a
new hotel?
Who said we were going to have
electric lights?
Who said we were going to have
water works?
Who said Morris wasn't a progress
sive town?
Who said we had elected Council
that was In favor of improvements?
Who was "fresh" enough to inti-
mate that sewer would be good
thing as sanitary measure9
Who was green enough to insinuate
that 1t would be good thing to have
system of drainage. so as to carry
off the contents of vaults aud prevent
the same from seeping into our wells?
Who was verdant enough to assert
that stagnant water, decayed veget-
able matter, dead dogs, cats and 9TH
er animals tended to breed disease
and make q town unhealthy?
Who was so alarmingly imsophist-
icated as to throw out limitations
that Morris hadn't the best system OF
drainage of any town on the Mani
toba road?
What "greenhorn" asserted that
improvements would improve the APP
pearance of Morris?
And finally, who is fool enough to
advocate the settling up of our county
and increasing the population OF
Morris, so as to induce new business
men to come here?
Surely the TRIBUNE never advo-
Gated any of the ridiculous PROPOSE
tions set forth in the above items. If
it did, 1t takes it all back. What do
we want of new hotels, sewers, cleo
trio ghts, water works, and other
improvements? Or what do we want
of more people? Morris Is big enough
now, and the county is already too
thickly settled tor comfort. Let us
all take a Rip Van Wrinkle snooze
and be happy.

The building association competitions
in Carpentry and Building, published by
David Williams, &C Duane street, New
York, at 81 per year, have produced
some most excellent designs from archi-
tects of ability and standing in different
parts of the country. Plans for two
houses, estimated to cost $1,000 each,
were given in the March number, while
the April number contains the first prize
design for dwelling costing $4,000.
Still other selections from the large
number of drawings received in this con-
test are to be published within the next
few months.

There is man in Wisconsin, who,
as recently reported by a correspond
ent of IIoard's Dairyman, actually
practices detailing his cows because
they switch the mixer with their
dirty tails. The correspondent thinks
that deEorning is all right, but doubts
if detailing will come into general
practice. Upon the same principal
that this detailer is reported to act,
the legs of the cow might go too.
Horns are unquestionably dangerous;
but If we are to cut off every thing
about the animal that is sometimes
an inconvenience to us, the head
would have to go at times. Perhaps
this detailing business gives solu-
ton of the kicking cow problem.
Cut off the leg. One enterprising
right leg of a COW is more incon-
venient and engaging than the tails
of whole herd. But the TRIBUNE
is down ON detailing, dehorning, and
delegging, when such barbarous acts
are seriously considered.
