good progress on the cement side
walks. They expect to have the
lower side of Canal street all COM
pIeted and a gOodlY start on the
north side Of the street this week
The curbstone and gutter are cost
ing 20 cents per running foot, and
the 8-foOt walk inside IA cents per
square foot. Twelve hundred and
ten feet will be built on both sides,
the curb and gutter of which will
cost about $847, and $3.50 square
feet Of walk at IA cents will cost
$1,4O3. 60. This makes a total cost
OF 50, $50. The village pays for
curb, gutter and one-third of the
walk, which foOts up about 81, $50.
The abuttlng property owners pay
for two thirds of the walk, which
will amount TO about 1886. In ad-
ditiOn the village will thoroughly
macadamize the two blocks, build
fire brick crossings and build up the
grade of Mill street hill, all of which,
no doubt, will cost about 5000.
While all this expense foots up near
~ So, 900, it is a much-needed i'm
provement, and it will last for gen.
era tons. WaterwOrks next.

EAVESDROPPINGS.
Will F. Alderman, Glen Haven:
Have always fancied the idea of
owning a farm home near the vii
lage of Bloom1ngton-if you only
had a railroad. However, I don't
like the idea of hauling stock a long
distance for shipment. Blooming
ton should build a railroad ahead of
all other Improvements. It would
be the making of the town. Corn
crop is nice down Glen Haven way
better than about Bloomington,
or the average. We have had no
hail or other bad conditions.
Ed. Govier, Little Grant: Crops
average good out our way. The
cut worms have destroyed lots of
corn, however.
John Jeidy: If living and draw
ing regular rations, I expect to at
tend the national encampment of
the G. A. r. at Minneapolis next
month. Think there will be a
large delegation from West Grant
in attendance.
