1t is with pride that we look forward
to the new Building and Loan associa-
ton which has been organized in Cody.
We see the grand advantage 1t affords
for those who wish to build and pay
for their building in easy payments
such payments being wen smaller that
the rental that is being paid Tor resi-
dences at the present time. A town
is so much better off when each resi-
dent owns his property. Not only does
it add to the wealth of the town but it
also gives one that free feeling that he
owns a home of his own. We will have
more TO say of this new enterprise as
the time moves on, and show by exam

they will see the necessity for
the construction of the bitches.

Await SUPP, m: Court
Decision
Nonpareil, May 2G::
Having devoted two days to
hearing the views of property
owners for and againss the
Harrison and Pottawattamie
county union ditch undertake
ing, the members of the joint
board of supervisors will spend
two days more in looking ever
the territory to be affected.
The Harrison county supervis-
ors returned to their respective
homes last evening, and this
morning the Pottawattamie
members will take a train for
Missouri Valley, where they
will be rejoined by the others
for a journey in carriages over
the entire route of the pro-
posed ditch system.
When the joint board ad-
journed yesterday afternoon, it
set the date of June Is fer re-
assembling to act on the estab-
lishment of the drainage dis
trict. There were no such
scenes of strife as occurred last
February, when dilatory tactics
were charged against the Pot
tawattamie county supervisors.
| lstead, everything was har-
monious, and the decision wss
unanimous to postpone action
until the members of the joint
board could acquaint themselves
with TIE situation by going out
and looking over the country
through which the bitches will
run.
The supervisors will start
north from Missouri Valley this
morning, as the greater mileage
of bitches lies in that direction.
The Allen creek route will be
followed one way and Willow
creek the other, going and COM
ing. On Saturday the party
will again start from Missouri
Valley and ride in a southerly
direction, taking the same
creeks to the point of junction,
and thence proceeding along
the Boyer cutoff channel to
where it will empty into the
Missouri river. Some water is
now flowing through the cutoff
and the supervisors desire to
learn how much assistance can
be depended on from erosion in
diverting the entire flow into
an artificial bed.
THE NORTH WESTERNS INNING.
Yesterdays discussion before
the joint board of supervisors
related almost wholly to the
allowance Of $4,000 damages
made by the appraisers for
four bridges to be built by the
Northwestern railroad, as COM
pared with $3S,275 claimed by
it and allowed by the same APP
praisers in making up their
first schedule of damages. At
torney George d. Hise Of Des
Moines, and two engineers, F.
H. cambridge and B. j. Sweat,
were heard in behalf of the
Northwestern. Attorney w. H.
Killpack of Council Bluffs, w
H. Fensler of Missouri Valley,
Leonard Everett and A. D. An
mis- of this city, expressed d.
vergent views on the other side.
The principal point of differ
ence which developed was in
regard to to the character Of
the bridges which should be
furnished to the Northwestern
where its right Of way will be
cut by the bitches. The esti-
mate prepared by the engineers
contemplated steel structures
costing several times as much

expense OF putting in the nee
essary culverts. Others thought
the road was not entitled to
claim damages for iron bridges,
when it now uses wooden ones.
Mr.. Fenslcr pointed out that
when the bitches are dug and
the new bridges are built, tho
railre al company will be en3 ]
abled to abandon one bridgd
east of Allen creek and anotheA I
east of Willow creek, about theS
same size as those it will havd1
to put in, while at the head OIL
Boyer cutoff No. 2 a 2O8-foot
piling bridge will be reduced to-
an SO-foot open span structure.
He claimed that one other
bridge a mile above this point
may also be abandoned.
Leonard Everett said it v on d
be an injustice to expect the
community to put in good new
steel bridges, whose life had
been p aced by engineers at
thirty-hve years, to replace old
ones of piling, which it was ad
mitted would not last more
than eight years on the average.
To this Attorney Hise replied
that two new iron bridges
would have to be put in where
the Northwestern now has dit
embankments, and their mair-
tenance, as we'll as their cor
struction, would entail great
expense, where there is now
practically none. At other
places, he asserted, it would lie
necessary to take out the wood
en- ones and put in iron, for tie
reason that the bitches would
be Wi Ter than the present wat
erways. Mr.. Hise quoted a
section of the law prohibiting
piles from being placed in the
bed of any stream more than
fourteen feet wide.
FALSE REPRESENTATIONS.
The charge was made by Mr..
Hise that Mr.. Fensler, C. H.
Deur and G. S. Osborne, a COM
mittee from Missouri Valley,
who visited Chicago to confe~sI
with General Manager Gardin I
| of the Northwestern about e I
bitches, had made false rep 4
sensations to the appraisers on
its return in order to secure a
reduction in the roads allow
ance from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Fensler denied this imputa-
ton, asserting that the commit
tee had not suggested any fig
ure, but had merely recon-
mended some compromise. He
alleged, in turn, that at the
time the first appraisement was
made the Northwestern repre-
sentatives were heard and the
property owners in the district
were not.
Thomas Tostevin, the engin-
eer who made the ditch survey,
was questioned in regard to the
Northwestern's claim and stat
ed his belief that the road was
entitled to the full amount.
A. D. Annis proposed that
some one other than a North
western engineer be sent to
look at the places where bridges
will have to be built if the
ditch undertaking goes through.
He also declared it to be a fact
that unless the ditch system
were constructed a great many
farmers whose homes are mort
gagged would never be able to
redeem them because they can
not raise crops on their lands.
County Attorney ]. j. Hess
criticised the action of the APP
praisers in making two such
widely different reports on the
Northwestern's damage claim.
He declared this was evidence
that thew had estimated tho

WINDOWS BROKEN;

Burglars Steal Four Watches
Al W. B. 0elze'S Store; Find
Depot Cash Drawer Is Empty.

Burglars entered W. b. Oelze's mus
ic and jewelry store and the Hender-
son Route passenger depot Monday
night. Mr.. Oelze found four watches
missing yesterday morning but moth
ing was missing at the depot. Three
watches were left in tie place from
which the four were taken, and jug
Of whlskey was unmolested at the de-
pot 1t is evident that the burglars
were in hurry or mad a fine sense of
just what and how much they want
ed, or, probably, both.
Entrance to each place was gained
by breaking in a window. A hole
large enough for q man's arm and
shoulder was knocked in a show win
dow at the jewelry store. There were
seven watches and several handsome
clocks in the window. The four best
watches were stolen and the face of
clock shattered. AT the depot a rear
window was smashed in and the cash
drawer was rifled, but this had been
emptied, the day before, as usual, by
Agent Ferry. Both burglaries were
committed, it is supposed, some time
after - o'clock.
Early yesterday morning Marshal
De Haven had bloodhounds on the
scenes of the BURGLAR es, but obtained
no clew as to the ldenity of the' win
dow smashers. 1t is believed by
some that they we've committed by
one or more of the tramps who have
been about town the past week. If this
was the case, the guilty parties, no
doubt, escaped on a night fre'g ght
train.
