Monday, July 1lth was the expira-
ton of the time which the common
council set for receiving proposals for
the construction of a main sewer from
the city down the creek valley to the
river Not Did was received or even
an intimation that anybody wanted the
job. Undoubtedly the proposal notice
failed to reach the right parties con-
tractors in this line of work, and IN all
probability the council will adopt other
methods of conveying the notice to con-
tractors than by publication in the pa
pers. The season is we'll advanced and
unless the deal is closed before long, it
will be too late to complete it this year.
-Undisputedly your uncle Isaac How

sultry summer days meats and all solid
foods are omitted from his bill of fare
and it takes four quarts of strawberries
to appease his appetite six days of the
week and on the seventh quart or two

over he estimates that about forty cents
worth of fruit daily will be about the
proper proposition for the three meals.

cusses political situations from the

of his years and experiences he is hard
to beat.

a $50 acres about 100 to l. Nearly 200,-
900 people will lay claim to chance to
file on 240O allotments. They drove out
and looked over quite section of the
reservation which they describe as rich
farming lands. The distance from water
will prove drawback as wells are from
1000 to 1900 feet 10 depth. The North
western line has material On the ground
for pushing road into the reservation
as soon as the settlement is open, and
town sites are already staked out
1t is we'll to keep in mind the date
of the annual picnic and races of Father

a force is employed, besides a game
warden is constantly in attendance to
