petition Affects IL.
Since the establishment of extensive
truck farms in the south, and the great
celery fields in Michigan and Ohio, the
market gardens of the north have in
some respects been ;njuriously affected
by the competition. However, the
greater supply of fresh vegetables,
through greater period Of the year,
has materially increased consumption,
especially in the smaller towns and
cities. The occasional oversupply and
consequent low price give even the very
poorest people an opportunity to pur-
chase vegetables other than potatoes
and cabbage. and so in the end the local
market gardeners trade is increased,
although he must accept lower prices
than he has received in former years.
His profits must come through a bet
ter knowledge Of his business that will
enable him to produce larger and better
crops at less cost, yet, as the greatest
yield can only come from land heavily
enriched and thoroughly prepared, there
must be a considerable investment at
the outset. Gardeners within access of
a city water supply avail themselves Of
this means for irrigation as occasion
may require, while others use windmills
and tanks, but are seldom able to irri-
gate as fully as required in a hot, dry
time when water is most needed. In
some of the larger gardens, where ex-
treme drought for two or three weeks
might mean the loss of thousands of dol
lars, steam pumps and full irrigation
plants have been constructed at great
expense. Thus the most complete crops
are assured and these gardens are turn
ing out products far beyond anything
ever thought of by our gardeners of
former generations.

$4,000 WORTH OF, BONDS.
THE COUNCIL WANTS AUTHORITY TO
ISSUE THEM,

And Submits the Question to the Qualified
Voters of the CitY--Other Matters.
Shall Dawson issue bonds? That is
the question to be determined now.
| At meeting of the city council
Thursday night it was decided to submit,
at once, to the legal voters of Dawson the
question of issuing bonds for the pur-
pose of building, or buying, a system of
waterworks and putting in an electric
light plant. The election, notice of
which is given elsewhere in THE News.
will occur on November 14th, and if
bonds are issued two thirds of the quail
fled voters of the city will have to give
their consent through the ballot box on
that day.
The amount of bonds which it is pro-
posed to issue is $4,000, bearing six
per cent. interest and payable in ten,
twenty and thirty years.
This is question of much importance
and every citizen should prepare him
self to vote on it intelligently. The may
or and council have given it much study
and are decidedly of the opinion that
the city would save considerable
amount af money by owning and opera
ting the water system. This conclusion
was arrived at by the council after a
careful estimate of what would be the
cost of water to the city under the plan
upon which it is proposed to build or
buy plant and comparison Of it
with the present contract of the city for
water
The News will discuss this question
at greater length next week, and will
give to the public the figures arrived at
by the council.
ELECTRIC FIRE ALARMS.
The council is interested ia giving the |
city better protection against fire, and
with that in view had Mr.. B. NJ. Wilson |
to submit estimates for electric alarms to |
be stationed in different parts of the
city. Mr.. Wilson made a proposition,
and action will be taken upon it at tie
next regular meeting.
