The city council is making good
progress in the work of securing
right-of-way for the water works
pipe line between Dallas and Can
yon Greek. The rights -of-way across
all the lands except those owned by
Judge r. P. Boise and Mrs. M. E.
Hallock have been secured at a
nominal cost to the city, the con-
sideration in several cases being
only one dollar. In the case Of
Judge Boise and Mrs. Hallock no
agreement can be reached as to the
amount of compensation that should
be paid for the necessary rights,
and the city has been compelled to
bring actions against these parties
for the condemnation of the lands
sought to be appropriated. These
cases will come up for trial before
Judge Burnett at the regular NAV
term of Circuit Court for Polk
County. The council is proceed
ing under the authority voted to
that body at two different elections,
and the matter will be carried
through to a successful termination
and the works built. The
will of the people, as plainly
expressed in both elections, is not
to be lightly set aside or held for
naught, and no thought Of rest will
be entertained until the desired
improvement becomes an actual
reality. The OBSERVER is pleased
to note that many citizens Of Dallas
who opposed the Gates water system
before the recent election are now
found among it's ardent supporters,
and are lending to the Council all
possible aid and encouragement.
These men fully appreciate the fact
that Dallas must have water-works,
and that the Gates system is the
one desired by a majority Of the
people, consequently they are will
ing to lay aside their personal
preferences and work for the general
good of the city. No citizen can
afford to fight an improvement that
means SO much to the welfare of
Dallas, and now that a plan for
water-works has been adopted by
the council and endorsed by the
people, it is the duty Of all to stand
together and help the city officers
to carry out the work. The council
is striving earnestly to secure
right-of-way at the very lowest
possible cost to the taxpayers, and
so far they have been successful in
keeping the expenses at a low
knotch. Every good word said for
the enterprise makes the work
easier. On the other hand, every
kick costs the city good, substantial
dollars.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Johnny Blake Thrown Under Wheels
of Wagon and Instantly Killed.

Johnny Blake, the young son of
Mrs. George Blake, of this city,
was thrown from a wagon and
killed near Airlie, Wednesday. The
little boy had accompanied his uncle
to the Touring mill, and as they were
returning home the front wheels Of
the wagon dropped into a mudhole
and both were thrown out. The team
then started to run, and the boy, who
had fallen across the double-t tree, was
thrown under the wagon and instantly
killed, the wheel passing over his
body and crushing his life out. The
uncle escaped with a few slight
bruises. Johnny was a bright little
fellow, and his untimely death is a
sad blow to the family.

THE KANSAS CITY DEPOT.
]. Ogden Armour and 6. F. Swift Said
to Be Back of the Project.

Chicago March 1O.-There were i'm
portant developments in this city last
week regarding the project of the In
ion Depot Bridge and Terminal Rail-
way company of Kansas City. George
II. Ross, president of the company spent
several days in the city and il is said
that he secured the consent of one Of
lines to come into the arrangement
which the terminal company is trying
to perfect for a union depot in Kansas
City.
MI Ross said that ]. ogden Armour
and G. F. Swift were the financial men
back OF the Kansas City project, re
garding which there has been consider
able mystery. He also said that the
present development of the project rep
resented an investment of nearly $1,000
000
Il cannot tell what developments there
have been recently regarding the pro-
ject," said Mr.. Ross. but 1 can say
that if we succeed in what we are at
tempting we viii make Kansas City one
OF the most important manufacturing
centers in the country and more than
double its usefulness as a railroad cen
ter. We have 200 acres along the river
front al the foot of Grand avenue, and
if the railroads are favorable to the
deal there viii be a union station and
terminal established there which has no
equal in the country
Directly across the river in Clay
county we have 900 acres upon which
we expect TO locate. manufacturing in
terests of every kind. The plan is com
prehensive and means a great deal for
Kansas City and the west. We also IN
tend to build bridge, but have not got
far enough along to say anything about
that"
