The conditiono of the grain crop is

VOTE JUNE 10
ON BOND issue

The city council, by a unanimous
vote Monday night, passed an ordinance
calling for special city election, Mon
day, June 10, for the purpose of voting
on the question of selling $4,000 bonds
to provide for the installation of muni-
cipal water system for domestic and fire
protection purposes.
Councilman Mcdonald, who intro
duced the ordinance, believes the system
can be installed for less than this sum,
and in fact the report of Engineer Rob
erts makes the same statement, the
100000 estimate being liberal in all
respects for covering the cost of a sys-
TEN adequate to meet the needs of a city
of 900 people.
1t will require twO-thirds vote to
carry the bonds. Polls will be open
from in the morning until at night,
and the election will be conducted after
the manner of the Australian system
The bonds are to run for 20 years, and
to draw per cent interest.
The detailed report of Engineer W. j.
Roberts on the estimated cost of fire
and water system WAS read and ac-
cepted.
A petition from J. II. Gerdes, asking
permission to erect an additional story
on his hotel on the rth side of River
street, the roof of the whole building to
be made tire.proof, was turned down.
An ordnance prepared by H. F, David
son, providing for water system for
the town, which had been read first
time at former meeting, was referred
to the committee on printing and police.
A sidewalk was ordered constructed
in front of the Middleton property on
State street, and the cost of the same
| charged to the property.owner A walk
was also ordered constructed on the
East side OF Fourth street between Oak
and River street, and the same charged
to the property owners unless they put
in the walk after being notified once
more.
Repairs were ordered made on the
steps leading to the depot, so as to make
a safer landing from the River street
sidewalk.
The detailed report Of Street Commits.
sioner Jensen showing amount of work
on the streets was read and placed in
the hands Of the street committee.
Marshal Olinger was instructed to
strictly enforce ordinance keeping walks

Clever Window Decorating.

A clever piece of window decorating
is the"O. K. & n. Exposition Special
in the window of Booths store-The
Big Store with Little Prices. Here is
a railway engine and cab constructed
entirely of tinwaIe. Tin pans and
buckets fit togeter to make the boiler
of the engine. Bread bins form the
cab; breadknives are used for the pis-
ton rod connecting the drive wheels
with the steam cylinder. A dust pan
makes good cowcatcher, but best of
all an incandescent globe is fitted into
the headlight, which at night shines
very realistically.
The whole affair is unique, and has
attrcted great deal of attention from
passersby. 1t is tie work of Mr..
Booth and his assistants in the big
department store.

BERRY CROP IS
LARGEST EVER

"This years berry crop will be the
largest Hood River has ever had, says
II. F. Davidson Of the Davidson Fruit
Co. "While frosts thinned the vines Of
some of he blossoms, and in many in
stances one half, the remaining bios
SONS made larger and finer
berries, and the entire crop this year
will exceed 100000 crates in all probab-
ility.
"While the early growers have finish
ed picking there are Other patches lust
coming on. We brought in % era es Of
berries from our Willow Fiat 35 acres
this "Wednesday morning. The height
of the season has passed, and we are
now finding sale for az! the berries sent
out Pric s are very fair with iHdI-
cations that there will be a slight ad-
vance.
"This years crop came ten days
earlier than last season. Up to the
night Of June 6 jast year there had been
shipped 25 cars of berries, while on the
same day this year the total number OF
ears was over 80.
people have been complaining that
the box factory has not supplied crates
fast enough. Now, early in the season
we urged the growers to send in their
orders, and we secured contracts for 81
600 crates. We made $4,000, 1900
more than were ordered.
"Soon after the season opened the
growers began to double their crate or.
ders and wanted the crates at once.
Without the latest facilities for manu-.
featuring boxes this season the ituatlon
would have been critical for the valley,
However, it should prove lesson that
orders for fruit boxes must be placed
early hereafter
"We had two Portland factories busy
for two weeks, but we find our factory
here can do more in one day than both
of them 1t took them three days to
load one car of 2O00 crates, while we
were putting out that number in one
day. | don't think there is another box
factory on the coast which can turn ont
berry crates faster than the factory OF
the Davidson Fruit Co. We have sold
over $4,000 crates this year"

y .Dsadwood Authority Says
/ the Northwestern Will
Build West.
The Work is to Be Done
his Year, Even Though
1t Is Late.

1t is stated by a gentleman who is in
a position to know that the people of
the Black Hills can have every reason
to expect that the Northwestern extern.
sion from Pierre will be the next road
to reach the Black Hills. While this
progress toward the actual building in
this extension has been DELAYED on ac-
count of the June meeting Of the direct
ors of the Northwestern it can be au.
thortauvely stated'that it is their l-
tentlon when once started to push the
work in such way that "a steel artery
will unite Pierre and Deadwood with a
collateral circulation by way of Cham
berain. -Deadwood Times.
The Free Press has heard the same
report from another gentleman who is
in a position to know possibly the
same one the Times refers to. He is
also connected with the Northwestern
in prominent official capacity. While
it begins to look as if any railroad
building from Pierre to the Hills has
been deferred for this year at least,
still we can't tell what may drop al
most any time. 1t need occasion nc
surprise if the Northwestern should
start its road west f. ON Pierre and east
from Rapid City this month, as this
company does not employ Il brass band
to herald its intentions.

The artesian basin commences in
western kingsbury and Clark counties
and under every foot OF the country to
the Missouri, the water is found III such
quantities that the limit has not and
cannot yet be measured. There are
now over riXteen hundred artesiau wells
in the whole artesian belt from the J i'm
to the Missouri, and new ones are being
dug at the rate of three hundred wear.
In many cases a pressure of from 100
to l15 pounds is obtained, which when
The low is large. affords splendid power

several cities on the James and Mis-
souri, rivers have wells which furnish
water for city use. fire protection and
power for electric light plants. A flow
OF 5000 OF 1000 gallons a minute las
been obtained from eightinch wells.

The temperature of the wells also
varies 1t rises apidly-sometimes as
much as one degree in twenty feet of
depth. In Hughes and Sully counties
temperatures of % and l02 degrees
Fahrenheit, have been obtained.
One Of the pecularities of the arteSan
system is that its pressure increases
towards the west quite rapidly, so that
although it is not sufficient to produce

the James and Minnesota rivers, west
of the James it furnishes flows over all

seepage of such streams as the Missouri,

as it is not unlikely that a considerable
