were not allowed.
The matter was called to the at
tention of the council last night.
Commissioner Welsh explained his
connection with the matter by saying
that he could not hire the teams
for less than $3.50 a day and the
work had to be done. There is an
ordinance now in the hands of the
salaries committee increasing the
rate from 81 to $3.50 a day, and
some of the councilmen were in favor
of rushing this through, so that the
bills could be paid The question
then arose as to whether the ordin-
ance would cover bills for labor con-
traeted for and completed before the
ordinance was passed.
Councilman Bellingahm offered a
solution of the problem. He said:
THE only way out of this is to let
A. r. Titlow pay the extra SO cents.
He has road opened to his sum
mer resort and is the party most
benefited by the improvement"

TRANSFERS THREATEN RAID
ON THE CITYS STRONG BOX

Transfers who were employed by
Commissioner Welsh to do the grad
ing on Eleventh street have not been
paid. The money, about $50, has
been held up since the first of the
month, and some of them threaten
to bring suit against the city if the
amount is not soon forthcoming.
When the council granted the petl-
ton of A. r. Titlow asking for the
improvement of Eleventh street from
X street west to the city limits the
commissioner of public works was in
structed to proceed with the i'm
provement at once. At that time it
was impossible to put the city teams
on the job and Mr.. Welsh hired the
work done by the day, agreeing to
pay the teamsters $3.50 a day,
though the ordinance says that team
sters shall be paid at the rate of 81
a day. When the bill came in the
finance committee members did not
see how they were going to get
around the ordinance, so the bills

GROWING CUCUMBERS.


The following from B. B. Skinner,
on the pickle industry will be of in
terest to all and of much benefit to
the farmers engaged in this industry,
Plant in checks 4x6 feet (heavy
soil 6xe feet) leaving the wide rows
east and west SO as to form vines in
rows for convenience in picking,
Plant about ten seeds in spot the
size Of plate one-half inch deep and
when danger of frosts are over thin to
four plants in a hill. Pick off the
first growth OF small pickles as there
will be only few form. This will
increase the time OF picking. Have
the ground rich as possible and well
worked, don't hoe after the blossoms
form but keep the weeds out and stir
between hills with cultivatOr.
There are three best signs for plant
ing, less false blossoms and better
standard of pickles planted on these
signs. This year Cancer will be May
2O-2l, Scorpia May 29-3O and Capricorn
June 2, and 4. For the benefit OF
the farmer.

Our Baptist Friends.

Among the thriving evangelistic de-
nominations the BaptiSts show signs
of sturdy growth, The American
Baptist Year Book just issued shows
that there are As, 727 Baptist churches
in the United States, with a total
membership of 4,506, TAT, showing a
gain for the year of S98 churches and
l76, ,285 members. In other words,
246 churches and about 4S3 members
were added to the denomlnational
strength for every day in the year,
and this without any so-called sgreat
reyivals." There were 234, ,35l
baptisms during the year. The
number of Baptist ministers is 1895.
The contributions for home missions
were 1923, 7lS: for foreign missions,
$3.50, 2O2, and for all purposes, S., 1884,
341. There are under Baptist control
nine theological seminaries with a
total attendance of 1895 students,
and 81 colleges and universities, with
81, ,9S5 students. The intense devotion
OF the Baptist pulpit to questions of
individual character and conduct
may reasonably be expected to give
the denomination larger and better
place in the religious activity of the
future.
