AFFAIRS ii SOUTH OMAHA
Work On Missouri Avsnus is Progressing
Most FavOrably.
PACKING HOUSE MEN GO TO WORK EApLY
A. n Result Only One Heat Prostra-
tion Reported I'D 10 the Present
Bids on sewer, work to
Come Up Monday.

The work on Missouri avenue is pro-
crossing as satisfactorily as the resi-
dents along that thoroughfare could de-
sire and in a comparatively short time
the contractors will be ready to begin the
work of paving as well as the placing of
the curbing and guttering.
In anticipation of a speedy completion
of the work the Omaha 4 Council Bluffs
Street Railway company have put
large force of men at work repairing the
tracks and finishing the work Of laying
the heavy steel rails to Twenty-fourth
street The work has been completed as
far Twentieth and but for the unset.
tied state of AFFAIRS which surrounded
the paving would have been completed
many weeks ago. 1t has now been COM
pleted as far as Twenty-fourth street on
one side and next week will see the other
side finished.
II there is any further delay to the
paving II will be because the city will
want to put In a sewer system for the
vast amount of water that Is thrown from
Twenty-fourth street onto the avenue at
the junction of the two streets.
IF sewers are not put in" said City
Engineer Rohrbough, recently, ut will
be useless to pave the aven6e especially
between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth
street, because the water from the latter
street will soon put it out of repair"
start Early at Packing Houses.
On account of the extreme heat of the
last few days many of the packing house
employees have been going to their work
~ an earlier hour than usual and quitting
as much earlier as possible. Some Of tho
employees have not been working at all
during the hottest part of the day, pre-
ferring to loose few hours pay than
to run the risk of becoming overheated
and have to lose several days. So far
there has been but one prostration, and
that was at the Swift plant in the boiler
room where the heat was so excessive that
one of the firemen was overcome and had
to leave. He will not be out for some
time
Sewer Bids Monday Night.
The time of the councilmen will be taken
up at the meeting Tomorrow night with the
opening and tabulating of bids for the new
sewer system, and 1t is thought probable
that there will be no other business trans
acted than this.
Although at the present time there are
no bids in the hands of the city clerk, IL
is certainty that a number OF bids will
be in by tomorrow night from firms who
were not represented at the opening Of the
bids which were rejected two weeks ago.
City Engineer Rohrbough has been using
his best efforts to secure bids from parties
who had made inquiries when the first
advertisements were placed but who did
not make bids. 1t is thought that these
parties will be represented tomorrow night
Most of the bidders will submit their bids
on the evening of the meeting
Golf at Country Club.
Preparations are under way by the men,
bers of the South Omaha country club for
golf tournament to be held during the
first part of September and the members
are looking forward to the event with much
pleasure as 1t will settle definitely the su-
periority OF the different players, there
being at this time strong rivalry between
some of them. Just who the best players
are would be hard to say. as there are
about ten who are playing fine game con-
sidering the course, which is hard one,
being all up hill and down.
Those who are playing the best game are
G. A. Potter. p v. Arnold. j. w Tibbetts.
G. w. Sears. w. E. Bollen, DR.. w. A. Cox.
Mike Culkin. d. S. Clark and w. c. Lam
/ bert. These players are all making the
nine holes in AZ, which Is DOGGY for the
course.
The contest will be for members of the
club only, but will create as much interest
! as though II was open to all Corners
! At about the same time as the golf tour
nament tennis contest will be pulled off
| IL VIII be open to all players in the city.
i q. A. Potter is the most formidable player
/ at the game and will more than likely
prove his ability against the best players
OF the city who do not belong to the club.
Some OF these are playing a very high class
game and surprise Is undoubtedly In store
for the champion OF the club. Potter should
put up good game in that at the recent
tournament at the Omaha Field club he
! gave Scribner a scare such as he has NOT
had in some time by winning a game. 81.
Other sports at the club have reached a
high standard and the coming months will
see good games in all branches II the in
tentions Of the club are carried out.
