CURIOSITY OF YOUTH
PLAYS HAVOC
Mil! Fsrced IL Shut Down Be-
cause Of Breakdown at Power
Sfaticn

This afternoon while the sta
ton employees were busy in the
engine room, a kid entered the
power station of the Mis-
souri, Valley Electric Light
company and attempted to
magnetic a long piece of steel
he had picked up on the street.
The dynamo that supplies
the power for the mo.or at the
Edgecomb & Deur mill was
runningaaat the time and the
kid thought that would afford
him an excellent opportunity
for carrying out his purpose.
No sooner had he brought the
steel in contact with the dyna-
mo tn an it was drawn into the
immature and less than a second
the armature was burned off
and the dynamo rendered use
less.
The Company has sent to
Omaha for a specialist and it is
possible the dynamo can be re-
paired here with the loss of
but a couple of days bat
in case the repairs cannot be
male here it will mean a costly
shut down for the mill.
This is the second time with
in a very few months that the
mill has been forced to shut
down because of boys throwing
substances into the
electrical machinery.

CONFER OVER bitches

perviSOrS to Discuss Drain.
age Plans Monday,

j. c. McCabe of Logan, sur
veyor of Harrison county and
editor of the Logan Observer,
was in Council Bluffs yesterday
in conference with the county
officials relative to the proposed
construction of the big drainage
bitches in the northwest part
of Pottawattamie county. Mr..
McCabe stated that the drain
age question was one of consid-
cradle moment in his county
and that the people who are
directly interested in the drain
age of the river bottom are
watching with interest the ac-
ton of the Pottewattamie board
of supervisors relative to the
matter.
At the meeting of the Potta-
wattamie board of supervisors
next Monday, the Harrison
county board will be present
and the drainage question will
be jointly considered. It is be-
lieved that the board will grant
the right of constructing the
ditch. No claim for damages
which would result from it's con-
struction has been filed with
County Auditor Innes and the
almost unanimous consent has
been secured of the property
owners whose lands abut the
proposed drainage ditch. Non

mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val
Icy railroad, the name of that
line will be changed as the re-
suit of the recent absorption by
the Chicago & Northwestern
railway. Mr.. B;dwell has yet
received absolutely no orders to
this effect, nor any announce
rent of any kind relating to
the change, but he expects such
a move.
'The name of the line pro-
badly will be changed" said
Mr.. Bidwell. "That means the
relettering of the cars, new sta
tionary, blanks, transportation
evidences, advertising. In fact,
numberless alterations will be
necessitated by the change of

it will begin, nor have | been
notified that it will take place,
but it probably will be DONE
Speculation is rampant in rail
road circlesa and especially around
Elkaorn headquarters as to
what tho nav name will be. 1t
is agreed that all evidences of
the present lengthy title will
be abolished. But the question
is, Will the new name to be
used b, "The Northwestern
System" or "The Chicago &
Northwestern railway" or any
of a number of possibilities. If
the identity of the Elkhorn
road is to be entirely lost in
that of the parent stem the
name probably will be simply
an extension of the present
"Chicago & Northwestern rail
way" This was done in the
case of the Sioux City & Pacific
which was absorbed short
time ago merely lost it's identity
and became a part of the road,
and has not since been known
apart from it.

coming down on top of him.
His cries were heard, but as no

found and dug out, being badly
bruised about the head and
shoulders and had quite a cash

resume his duties inside of a

LOOK OUT FOR HIGH WATER.

While we in the favored Yakima val
ley are commiserating with our friends
on the Sound on account of their mis-
torture in being flooded at this season
of the year, we should not be unmindful
of the fact there is more snow in the
Cascade mountains now than has been
known for years and that when the
spring sunshine turns this vast deposit
into water it will run down this side OF
the Cascades as well as the other and
that in all probability the lowlands of
the Yakima valley will, in the early
spring, be deluged with Il food of melted
snow. So it would be we'll for those who
have stock yards or hay or houses or
wood along the river course to take
early precautions.
In this connection also the county
should take time by the forelock and
see if any OF the numerous county
bridges spanning the Yakima and
Natchez rivers need strengthening to
enable them to withstand an extraordi-
nary pressure of water. "A stitch in
time saves nine and if there are any
wobbly bridge structures they should be
attended to before the water is too high
to make such work possible.

Are Planning for a Benefit.

There is plan on foot now. instigated
by the friends of Miss Daisy Boyle, to
get up benefit in her behalf, place the
money in trust and send her away either
to Chicago or New York, or perhaps
across the Atlantic, in order that she
may acquire thorough education and
fully develop the great talent which she
possesses as a performer brilliante on
the piano. Miss Boyle has lived here
for good many years, and has demon
strated beyond any doubt her wonderful
ability as pianist, and this move on
the part of her friends should meet with
the hearty support OF the whole COM
munity. The nature of the entertain
ment has not been definitely decided,
but many are in favor of giving a min
strel show There is at the present
time in this city some first-class singers,
who could treat the public well in
minstrel way, and as matter of fact,
the large majority Of the people would
much prefer to pay their money to see a
good musical entertainment than any
other variety OF show.

The institute now in session in this
city under the direction of the Fruit
Growers Union should not be the last
1t has wide field of usefulness, for here
the growers can assemble, exchange
ideas on the growing, packing and ship
ping of the products of the ranch and
then realize the top notch prices over
the rancher who is satisfied to let nature
grow his crops with the least possible
effort on his part, and who knows little
how to advantageously market what he
has grown. That there are many such in
this valley is fact to be deplored; that
there are hundreds who are progressive
and believe THAT in union there is
strength is matter for congratulation.
Institutes tend to broaden and educate
and are likely to be encouraged by the
up-to-date rancher as well as the up-to-
date teacher.
