BurIington,s Relief Fund.

The projectors of the Burlington Vol
untary Relief department have announced
that the books will be open for member
ship June /. Any employe can at will
become a member by paying the percent
age of his assessment. No employe is
compelled to enroll, and if after he has
Joined he desires to withdraw, he can do
so by paying up all that is charged against
HIM on the books. The fund thus de-
rived will be used in caring for the injur-
ed, sick and needy of the employees who
are members. Under the constitution
and bylaws the fund will be placed in the
hands of a board of trustees numbering
thirteen, of which the general manager of
the Burlington is ex-oficio chairman.
The first election of officers will occur
next November, but the business will be
looked after by General Manager Ripley
and a designated board of trustees until
that time. Indications are that the I'M
dertaking will meet with fair success.

NJ. p. Kecfc has a farm worthy the
name seven miles north OF the city.
Four men are now seeding the thirty-five
acres to be cultivated this season. They
are planting wheat, oats, millet and veg.
etables of all kinds.
The Keefe farm is irrigated from a
water system with mains, h~ydrants, etc. ,
complete as the Cheyenne system. The
source Of supply is two deep, never fail
ing wells from which water is pumped by
windmills.
This sort of farming requires more capt.
tai than the old style, but Mr.. Keefe is
confident that it is the only true system
and that there is big money in it in the
long run. HIS two wells are 40 and lS2
feet In depth.
Mr.. Keefe is also engaged in timber
culture, and has 5000 trees growing on
his place.

the proposed viaducts over the Union Pa
cifc tracks. HIS honor stated that the
matter had been explained in yesterday
mornings papers. He anticipated no
trouble on the score OF securing funds for
vladuct construction. The city could not
pay TOR the work outright, as the amount
OF taxes collected annually-S3O 600
was $4,000 less than the cost OF the via
duct to be completed in January, 1891.
MIR, Jeffrey thought the viaduct ques.
ton should be agitated, as the thorough
fare should be completed so o as pos
sible. 1t was needed even now. The
time for completion was short and the
city could not afford to be tardy IN com
p~letion of the viaduct according to con-
tract.
1t occurred to MIR. Baird that while as a
matter OF sentiment everyone would be
pleased to see the viaduct in process Of
construction, its building at once was not
a matter OF absolute necessity. Congress
might remove the municipal Indebtedness
restriction IN December and in January
the legislature could authorize the issu-
ance of bonds. Then the viaducts could
be built.
Mayor hlner suggested that Delegate
Carey be invited to speak on the subject.
Mr.. Carey was present at a meeting of
the senate committee on territories when
a representative from Arizona made aspe-
cal plea Tor the relief OF several counties
In his territory from the onerous indebt-
ness structures. MIR. Cullom of Illinois
responed thai the law had been enacted
Tor a purpose and would probably stand.
MIR. Carey did not think that the city
would be relieved by congress. Ii Wyo-
ming were a state there would be no
trouble on this score. He suggested that
the city set aside each year an amount TO
be covered lnto the Viaduct fund
There was a disposition on the part OF
