Considerable of our space this
week is devoted to drainage
because it is one of the most i'm
portant local questions. Every
citizen Of the county is directly
interested in the proper drainage
of the western part of the county.
Until that is properly done, the
valley lands in the hills cannot be
successfully protected from mum
dalton during periods Of excessive
rainfall. This in our opinion
justifies US in devoting SO much
space to the subject Observer.

Neither Water. Light or Prospects

Last Thursday the town coun-
Gil contracted with the electric
light company for number of Is
candle power incandescent for
use as street lamps. Bah! Why
not hire few lightning bugs and
stop the nonsense? Such tomfool-
cry would vomit a cat. There
might be some excuse for a 49,
candle power, but to put up with
lG-candle light is merely boys
play and is disgrace to the town.
-LateY-The council met Mon
day night and j E VanScoy and
u Stearns were selected as COM
mlttee to investigate the PROPOSE
ton TO put in pun ping plant to
be purchased by the city. Mean
time the contract partially entered
into and agreed upon at the meet
ing last Thursday, fell through
and the city is without light or
water, the light company refusing
TO pump without the privilege of
furnishing lights. When the
committee returned from Omaha
y seance was held in the council
chamber at which no agreement
could be reached and every body
got mad. This resulted in Mr. j
81 VanScoy rendering his resiena-
ton and matters as we go to press
are in a boiling turmoil. Mean
time the county seat of Harrison

Considerable prominence has
lately been given in the press of
the world to the fact that not a
passenger on the English railroads
WAS killed during the year 1901.
1t may prove interest to know
that on the Mexican Narrow Gage
Road, from Corpus Christi
through Laredo to the city of
Mexico, with its brancbesamount-
ing to more than 1000 miles of
operated road, for more than
twenty years no passenger has
been killed. This, in the face of
the fact that this road climbs
more mountains, turns more
curves than any road in the United
States.

Andrew Coulthard, of Cali
fornia, Iowa, was a Logan visitor
Tuesday. In talking of the drain
age of the Missouri bottoms Andy
said he wanted as many outlets
into the Missouri river as there
were streams in the county, but
that the line of direction of those
outlets should be parallel with the
course of the Missouri. He said
that at the time of the highest
water there was fall of at least
four feet at the mouth of the
Young ditch. Andy's ideas of car
ing for the overfows are correct
as is also this description of the
proper outlets and number of
them.-Observer.

been stirring UP the police depart

The Police investigation has brought
about the following results: Patrol
Operator Russell has been found gull
ty of registering incorrect reports, and

Now just II word about the Akron
Police:
First we have too many policemen.
The Police are not controlled with
enough strictness. Tie Police telephone
system is iiasco, because the police
man believes that his whole duty and
responsibility Is done, IL he has gone
to n Police alarm box every hour and
informed headquarters that he is alive
and well. Many complaints are heard
that the police, In uniform and civil
dress, fraternizc with elements of so
cicty, of which the Policemen should
regard close surveillance as first
duty.
