While under the jurisdiction of the en-

that ice and beer wagons are allowed

WILL TALK ON PAVING
PAYNE AVENUE PROPERTY OWN
ERS HAVE CALLED A MEETING.

Desirouss of taking advantage of the
extremely low bids now prevailing on
asphalt paving, a number of Payne ave-
nue. property owners have called a meet
ing for Monday evening, when the propo-
slt1on to pave that thoroughfare will be
considered and discussed.
The street which is an important one
in point of traffic is at present paved
with cedar blocks, which are in fair
state of preservation, and this fact may
tend greatly toward killing the project.
The call for a permanent paving comes
from the business men of the East side.
AT the next meeting of the council Aid.
Holt, the representative from that sec
ton, has prom ised to introduce a pre-
limtnary order and this will be used to
secure bids. If not acceptable the pro-
ject will be dropped for this year.

Portals chief claim to distinction pre-

Two weeks. ago, however, he was called
to New York by the death of an uncle.
and returned to this city one of four
heirs to the dead mans estate, his
share amounting to several thousand
dollars. On his return to Fort Dodge,
he found letter from Naples await

he had fallen heir to second fortune,
thru the death of his mother in Italy.
Being the Oldest of four sons. he is heir
to the Porta estate, which includes a
valuable fruit farm. and large two
story stone block in Naples.
Porta plans to return soon to Italy,
where his father was hair dresser to
the nobility. and enjoying large ex-
