/ Upton.
The city council has ordered brick
paving on Fourth street ana on the
east side of the square. This decision
lis something of surprise as 1t was
generally supposed that the council
was hopelessly divided as between
brick and asphalt and that no action
would be possible.

Clarion.
A number of improvements are to be
made in and about the court house.
Probably the most needed will be the
painting of the building inside and out.
The interior work will be done TINS
winter and that of painting the brick
exterior next spring. AS soon as one
can be procured a new boiler for heat
ing the building is to be installed New
cement walks are TO be constructed,
probably around the entire square. As
soon as the ground becomes frozen
hard the remaining cotton wood trees
will be cut down. 1t will seem too bad
to have these latter removed as they
are old land marks and many people
have become greatly attached to them
On the whole the improvements VIII
greatly enhance the beauty OF the
premises, says the Monitor

Iowa Falls, Nov. 21.-As the compile
ton Of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &
Northern railroad between this city and
the state capital approaches, interest
turns to the intentions of the COM
pany relative to the construction OF
the line northeast from this city, as
II has been planned ever since the COM
pany was organized to extend the line
to the northeast to either connect with
some thru line running to Minneapolis
and st. Paul or build an independent
line to the twin cities. 1t is now semi
officially announced that the matter
Of a northeastern extension is being
given consideration by the board OF
directors Two preliminary surveys
have already been run to points in the
northern part Of the state, these lines
terminating at Mason City. The former
line passes thru the city of Hampton
where the citizens stand ready to offer
material assistance should the road be
built thru that place. The fact that
the surveys have not run farther north
than the Chicago, Milwaukee q St
Paul northern Iowa line has lead to
considerable discussion as to whethe,
or not traffic arrangements were not
contemplated with this line to handle
north bound business. It is figured by
some that if either the Chicago & Great
Western or the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul should secure control OF the
road it would offer shorter cut foi
the business of either Of these lines tc
Des Moines and thence south to Kansas
City for western and southern out
let, and eventually become a link in q
new short line between the twin cities
and Kansas City.
