NORTHWESTERN VOTES

Lease Preliminary to Out

The first of the generally dis
cussed and anxiously awaited
meetings to be held by the
stockholders of the Chicago
and North Western railroad
system occurred in Chicago
yesterday and before adjourn
ment they voted toincrease the
capital stock of the Company
to $1OO,OOO,OOO. According to
the press dispatches it was
further determined to lease the
railroad franchises, property
and everything else pertaining
to the Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley system. Hence
forth the North Western COM
pany proper will operate the
Elkhorn system, taking it over
in the same manner as they did
the Sioux City and Pacific. 1t
is thought the outright pur-
chase of the road will follow
shortly.

have the effect of closing the

deprives the city of six hundred
dollars license money per month

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
giving to the subject. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
It has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dan
gerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, can be pre-.
vented by the use of Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from
an attack of influenza (grip), and it
has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
ia recent years, and can be relied
upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger is ap-
pretended until il ie suddenly dis.
covered that there is fever and diff
Guilty in breathing and pain in the
chest, then II is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy az soon az the cold
is contracted. 1t always cures. For

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
For many good sufficient reasons
the good roads proposition that is
agitating the public mind in all
parts of the country should receive
the earnest endorsement of all prac-
tical and progressive farmers. No
other class of producers have
deeper interest in this matter.
Many of us do not know that bad
roads are responsible for so many
of our woes because we have not
thought. Some of our farmers are
patient and many of them are con.
tented with these roads because
they do not know the value of a
good one. A good road is splendid
investment. There never was q
good road made in any civilized
country on earth that didn't pay 100
per cent year on the cost. A good
road raises the value of every acre,
invites us to market when prices
are good and takes us out of the
clutches of the com mission pirates
who sell our goods behind our
backs at their own figures, keep
their own accounts and pay us a
pitance for our toll and trouble. A
good road shortens distance. caves
time, wagons, horse flesh, harness,
increases the load and lessons the
burden and makes it possible to
haul two tons with the same power
that now leaves one ton stuck in
the mire.
A good road brings us closer to-
gether, drives out gloom makes

every farm mortgage and brings
joy and contentment to every COM

CANNOT COLLECT TUITION.

A recent decision of the courts
with reference to the collection of
tuition from pupils, who live out
side the school districts of cities
and attend school there, has given
the board of education over the
state considerable uneasiness. The
decision was wholly unexpected
and boards at once ceased collect
ing fees from out of town pupils,
says an article in the lola Record.
II has been the custom of cities to
exact small tuition fee from pupils
who come from out of the school
district. It's justice has been found
ia the fact to maitain high school
requires more money than 1t does
to maintain a county school and
as the taxes for this maintenance
comes from the property of the dis
trict alone, pupils from outside
should be required to assist in
maintaining it since they are to
get the benefit of il.

Davis to the floor. While Mr. Davis was addressing the audience, Messrs. Fuller and Robinson were engaged in
 revising their figures on the Tonto es-
 innate and the steam plant in con formity with data more accurately
 given them by Mir. Davis in respect of the former and which should be men, toned at this time to correct the first figures given above. The amended es- inmates were made at the request Of the Tempe stockholders, the two water
 power estimates, however. being elim- mated from present consideration on account of their clash with the govern ment These amended estimates
 brought the Tonto figures and the steam plant figures closer together and
 made a much better showing for the
 former, ana likewise a more diSap- pointing result for those who cher ished the hope that a pumping plant
 would be much cheaper and equally as good. The revised figures showed that after the first ten years at least the
 Tonto end of the controversy had by
 far the best of it, as it has all the way
 through in one important matter which is a twelve months supply, while, the pumping plant covers only the frrigat-
 ing season, eight months at the most.
 The revised figures were as follows:
 Tonto project, initial cost, to Tempe,
 S454. 800; annual cost for ten years
 $73 1S4; annual cost after ten years,
 $27, ,734; initial cost per acre, S1S.1S; an
 nual acre cost first ten years, $2.s3; an nual acre cost after ten years, $1.1l and with a water supply of 2,425 inches instead of l159 as at first reported. y
