has so long marred the usefulness of a
large extent OF ground aim OSt in the
heart of the city. When the tunnel
and its accessory sewers are connected
it is expected they will materially change
the unhealthy condition of this region.
Already, although the tunnel has not
been connected with the sewers it dis
charges nearly three million gallons of
water day and has lowered HOag's
lake foot and half. 1t is not expected
to drain the storm waters through the
tunnel; they have been provided for
by other means, but no sewage that
originates in the BaSsett's creek val
ley will escape the big tunnel. An
will be to relieve the 0verw0rked sewer
shaft and drop on First avenue north it
is proposed to relieve the Washington
avenue sewer of the drainage of that
territory which extends from Fourth
street out to Hawthorne and Linden
avenues. This shaft will Obviate the
necessity of putting in an overflow
sewer ON Third avenue south, which was
the other alternative.
An interesting feature of the tunnel
digging is the construction OF the shafts
and drops which connect each with its
main sewer. The sinking of the shaft
exhibits quite clearly, to the deplh of
from 80 to 100 feet, the geological
formulation On which Minneapolis
stands. The first twenty to forty
feet are earth: and then bed of lime
stone. twenty or more feet thick,
appears. and after that the sandstone
layers appear. 1t is in this the tunnel
runs. In each shaft the sandstone and
earth have been built up, the one with
stone, the other with brick, but the
limestone required no such bracing up.
After cutting through it with chisels
to let natures wall stand. Each
shaft is also furnished with a
stump or basin filled to depth of from
six to twelve feet with water, upon
which the sewage falls from the

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS,
The City Trying to Keep Pace
With Private ENTERPRISE,

The march Of permanent improve
ments in Minneapolis will keep well up
this year, though large amount of the
work was cut off two months ago when
the council was in one of its reform
frenzies. Several important labors are
under way and nearly finished, such as
the North side pumping station and the
great sewer tunnel These can hardly
count as the work of SO, though the
finishing touches will be put on them
this summer. The total amount to be
expended in public Improvements
through the engineers Office is $671, 4339
of which $500, 363 falls upon the city and
SOL ,076 is assessed back upon the prop
erty owners. The largest item is sewer
work. There has been ordered $3.50 feet
or 1912 miles of sewer this year, which
will cost $4,000 in round figures. The
city will pay nearly $4,000 of this, and
the AUDITING property the balance. Over
10000 feet of water mains are to go in
at cost of S135.C00. Property owners.
who pay the entire cost of building and
maintaining sidewalks, are ordered to
build in all Is miles of walk, 81 miles of

1t is unnecessary to call attention to
the advertisement of r. NJ. Roberts,
Minneapolis, in this issue: it is suffi-
GENTLY conspicuous to speak for itself.
But we do want to say to our thousands
of readers that MIR. Roberts is thoroughly
reliable and trustworthy in every way.
An order may be made up and the
money sent to him in advance with per-
feet assurance that everything will be
exactly as represented, or will be made
so. His prices are very low on every
thing he offers: this we know by actual
experiences; we also know that he has
seriously antagomized the entire hard
ware trade of. the '.Twin Cities" by
reason of his wholesale prices to con-
sumers." If all of our business men
would strive to bring the prices of pro-
Queer and consumer as close together
as does Mi. Roberts, the effect on the
general prosperity of the country would

per portion of the First and Ninth
wards.
These are, In brief. the sewer systems
Of the city. 1t should be observed about
them that
Each drains an area that careful tOpO-
graphical surveys have shown is nat
urally and easily tributary to it.
Each consists of tunnel and main
sewer with their lateral sewer connec-
lions.
Each empties into the river below the
falls.
The latter feature the city engineer
considers of no less Importance now
than it was before the source OF water
supplies was removed to point above
the city, although the plan was first I'M
dertaken to protect the water supply.
The first thing to be considered in
sewer engineering is to get good
flow. This has been secured in
of all sewers below the falls. No
sewer in the city has flow of less than
two feet to the second, and from that it
runs up to eight feet. The average
aimed at is four feet to the second,
equal to three miles an hour. Refuse

NORTH MINNEAPOLIS TUNNEL.
The most important work undertaken
of late years by the engineering depart
ment has been the North Minneapolis
sewer tunnel. which was planned two
years ago for the purpose of draining
what is known as the Bassett's creek
valley in a more etfectual way than it
ever had been.
The engineers Office has met many
natural obstacles under ground to the
building Of the tunnel. and not a few
annoyances above ground, from people
who believed that the work would
prove failure, or would involve
the city in debt. But the

The sewer was intended by Mr.. Carson,
|-the city engineer, to be five feet in di-

was cut down to fOrty-fOur inches. In
a year or two the growth of the city de-

Small fruit can be prottably raised in
Nebraska if the soil is strong enough to
raise sixty bushels of corn per acre, says
j. L. Southwick in the Nebraska Farmer.
If corn goes up to one hundred bushels
per acre, strawberries will be likely to sun
burn, as will currants also.
Most varieties of raspberries will stand

less and kindred varieties. Not SO, how
ever, with the Mammoth Cluster and other
kindred sorts. mention these two sorts
because they are old and tried kinds, and
are the farthest apart in their wants and
necessities of any of the raspberry family
that have come under my care, but no
small fruit will do we'll without careful at
tention.
What varieties of strawberries, rasp-
berries and currants are best?" This is
the hardest question of all to answer, as
SO much depends on soil, cultivation and
care. If for slipshot care, would go
back to the wild strawberries, or perhaps
the Colfax, and as 1 progressed in the art
of cultivation would take Hovey's Seed

pairing the ground and giving good care in
