STARTING A PARK.

We notice in many of our smaller
towns attempts being made to secure
public parks, and it is very frequently
done by taking piece Of ground GOV.
cred with sod and planting young trees
IN holes dug in such sod. From the
very nature Of things tree so planted
can never be success. They are al.
most sure to perish. If park Is de-
sired the better way is to pillow the
whole tract deeply, and If it is we'll fer
tilted SO much the better. The next
year the land should be put in the best
possible condition, when the trees may
be planted and some crop put on the
land that would require thorough Gull
tlvation So planted the trees will
grow healthy and thrifty, and at the
end of two years the lot may be seeded
down and a good park obtained.

Head Of Swine and Finds Them in an
Old WelI--AnimaIs Worth Total Of

Sac City, Dec. John Patterson, a
farmer living in Sac county near here.
is mourning the loss of 40 fine porkers,
all of which fell into an abandoned
well while being chased thru some
weeds.
The animals had broken out and
made their way to an old well arti-
choke field, where they remained about
a week. Patterson finally got on their
TRAIL and as he approached them they
started off in single file, with an old
boar leading the way.
Buried in the woods was an old
clearing, in the center Of which was a
we'll, covered over by thin and rotten
boards. The old boar led the way di-
rect for this spot, and as he stepped
on the top, he fell thru. There was 4
loud splash, as well as a squeal, and
before he could stop his gait the second
porker followed the first. Every hog
in the line of 40 fell into the old well
before the farmer came up. There was
no use to try to seek some manner or
rescue for the water had completely
swallowed up every hog. There was
over $500 worth of hog flesh in the
herd which met such a strange death.

CITY FUND INTEREST
Bill to Be Presented Before LegisIa-
ture Compelling the Placing of Mu-
nicipal Monies at lnterest-DowelI
Backs Measure.

Special to Times-Republfcan.
Des Moines, Dec. If Senator Dow
ellis influence prevails the legislature
this winter will adopt as law his pro-
posal to compel the loaning of munici-
pal funds at interest. A determined
effort is to be made to secure the en-
actment Of such law.
Senator Dowell offered bill along
this line last winter and it was favor
ably reported twice, but no action was
taken on it. Alderman Waterbury and
others now interested in the proposed
statute are investigating the situation
which existed in the last session and
propose to push the bill in the legisla-
ture, which convenes Jan. IA.
Intermittent efforts have been made
for years to secure enactment of this
character. The legislature passed law
requiring state funds to be deposited at
not less than per cent interest. This
law nets the state about $4,000 a
year. The legislature enacted law
authorizing boards of supervisors to
deposit county funds at interest, taking
bids from depositors. Jasper county
tried this but got no bids. When Polk
county borrowed 100000 for the new
court house a condition was the deposit
of the funds at interest. The law au-
thorizing the levy of a tax to raise
funds with which to buy or build water
works plants in municipalities provides
that the fund so raised shall be de-
posted at interest, and Des Moines
has about $4,000 so deposited draw
ing 4 per cent. Aside from this there
is no effective law on the subject.
