direction of the city council. The
council has decided to improve the
streets Of Brownsville and they will
have the sincere thanks of all our
people. Brownsville's prominence
has made good streets imperative,
and our council recognizing this
fact will do all possible to put them
in first-class condition.
THE HERALD has received a
small quantity of coffee berries
from Cordova, Mexico, through
the kindness of ]. B. Chusborongh,
representative of the Galveston
Shoe & Hat Co., who has lately
returned from a trip through Mex
leo. Unlike most plants, coffee
must be planted in the shade and
the ground kept wet. II will not
stand a freeze and the plants do
not bear until four years old. After
the trees begin bearing, berries fall
ing from the trees, terminate,
and when the young plants are
large enough, they are transplant
ed wherever the planter desires.
We have only a small handful,
and anyone wanting a few berries
for an experiment in the growing
of coffee, may have them by calling
at this Office.
THE HERALD acknowledges 4
pleasant call this afternoon from
A. Krapf and H. ]. Beversdorf, of

number of orange trees put out on
the farm and they are doing sp!en-
didly.

Seminary Y; High !.

The High School ball team was de.
feated by the Seminary team last
Saturday afternoon by score of II
to l. Melvin Grangaard was in the
box for the Sens and he pitched q
fine game, striking out no less than IL
men. The Highs inability. to make
safe hits when bases we're more or
less full was chiefly responsible for
their defeat. Warren Orsm, who
''bent them over" for the High, pitch
ed q fairly good game especially con-
sidering his youth, but the Seminary
batters proved too much for him.. It
looked very much like q shu'-out for
the Highs until the last inning but
then an error on the part OF the Semi
nary fielder allowed one of their men
to become acquainted with the home
plate.
There was q good attendance and
some wholesouled roofing was in
dulged in thruout the game.
The Seminary team will play the

J! Property Owner, Take Steps to
~ Rid q City Of Surplus Water.
. Mass Meeting Held.

# a mass meeting OF citizens called by
the III board Of health, for the purpose
q discussing ways aud means OF
draining surface water from low places
in the city, was held In the library
building last Friday evening and was
attended by about one hundred proper.
ty owners. Az the need of action for
taking proper steps to rid the city OF
surplus water Is : very urgent one,
much interest was manifested. The
report Of the meeting follows:
y. The meeting was called to order by
Pr. Rains. C. W. Odell was elected
chairman and G. F. Spencer, secretary.
The question of draining off the sur.
face= watsr, and sewerage was
discussed. :. P. J. Haley stated that the
only wayt TO satisfactorily get drainage,
would ,Hbe to have dredRed ditch
beginning at 9Th street, and running
thru Grass lake and to Lake Waconda
The cost would be about SIC, 900 by
hBl hB ying dredger and operating it or
kY contract the cost would be about
g, 000a mile. The ditch would benefit
5000 acres o: land which would carry
its share of the expense. Questions
we're asked and answered, by various
ones, and it was suggested that the
chairman appoint committee of three
p draft a petition for q county ditch
and present same to the county com.
ntssioners. On motion Of A. Crosby,
the chairman appointed A. Crosby,
y, NJ Stanford and N. O. Nelson as
such committee. On motion of S. E
Stansberry, moved that the chairman
appoint q committee of seven to meet
With the city council on May %, and
urge the necessity of Immediate action
tn regard to drainage. Motion pre-
vailed and s. E. Stansberry, F. G.
Handy, c. A. Olson, j. s. Robbins, 1.
i Cramer, F. H.. Knox and A. G.
aedtn were appointed. =:
Mr.. Stansberry moved that q COM
mittee Of three be appointed to wait on
the county attorney, and urge him to
take steps to ascertain If the existing
ditch is legal county ditch. Motion
prevailed, and chair appointed T. n.
Olson, A. Crosby and P. c. Peterson
Contributions amounting to $40 q
we're receiyed and placed with p. j.
Haley, who was appo11 tsd : committee
to get an engineer to take the level,
and ascertain the fall. In case the
fexisting ditch should prove not a legal
one, A. j. Abbot of Kandiyohi was
asked to circulate q petition for a
county ditch in the towns of Willmar
and Kandiyohi.
The meeting adjourned to meet again
at the library building May %.
