GREAT NORTHERN OFFERS
TO COMPLETE vIADuCT
Ask Company to Give City An.
other Crossing Trouble Like.
" to Be Settled Out of Courts.

1t is very probable that the
city will allow the Great North
ern to complete the viaduct. In
fact at a meeting OF the council
Monday night: Alderman Ehr
made a motion which was Sec
onded by B. B. Tasker, that the
Great Northern be allowed to en-
ter the public highway for the
purpose OF completing the via
duct at the south end on First
street, providing said railway
company will complete said via
duct and approaches thereto on
Ward street, and provided
further that the company will
complete the north end OF the
viaduct and approaches thereto,
as soon as the city obtains title
to the property OF said north end
providing said company CON-
mence work and complete it in
thirty days after the city obtains
title. The company further is
required to give the city a cross
ing at the first street west OF the
railway restaurant at a distance
of not more than fifty yards from
that place, providing the rail-
way company gives the city a
foot crossing over the right of
! way south from Nedrud avenue.
The motion carried.
1t was moved by Tasker and
seconded by Baker that the
Street and Bridge committee con-
fer with the Great Northern Rail-
way company in regard to the
completion OF the north end of
the viaduct.
The ordinance committee was
instructed to draft a scavenger
ordinance.
The petition OF T. P. Kulaus
to erect a frame building within
the fire limits was rejected.
1t was moved by Grow and Sec
onded by Vandenoever that the
water committee confer with the
Mjnot Creamery property in re.
gard to purchasing a portion OF
their lot for the test wells.
A big grist OF bills, something
over sixty, was passed.

Nick Clouse is praying for dry

Nothing gives a country a
more stable appearance than a
herd Of fine mich COWS. You can
generally depend that when you
see plenty Of mich COWS, you will
see prosperity, no matter what
the season may be. l.. b. Tracy
has eight fine COWS and recently
bought a new cream separator.
Mr.. Tracy's crop looks splendid:

D. W. Bowker's farm buildings
would do credit to an Iowa farm
worth 500 an acre. The tall
wind mill, immense barn and ex-
ceedingly large house gives the
place a prosperous air. And why
shouldn't Bowker have good
buildings. He milks twelve COWS
and sells $50 worth Of butter
every month. Mr.. Bowker has a
800 acre farm.
Nels Hoglund owns two quar-.
tiers OF land, we'll improved. His
farm home is beautiful. No one
has finer crops in the country
than he.
Five years ago Henry Paris
came to this state from Iowa to
seek his fortune. He didn't find
any gold coins growing on buck
brushes, but he found a verita-
BILE gold mine in Mother Earth
and he has been digging out gold
ever since. He has 800 acres OF
crop this year.
Mr.. Paris owns a fine wei dig
cling machine and has cleared up
$1,000 in this manner during the
past two years, in addition TO
his farming. He is about to
build a large addition onto his
house, over a we'll dug at hand.
This insures water in sunshine or
blizzard. He has a field OF oats
which will likely average 50
bushels per acre. Wheat, flax:
and other crops will likely run
about the same as last year.
VIM. kluver has 400 acres Of
land, fine farm buildings and a
splendid crop.
Grandmother Tracy is 50 years
old, yet she is holding down a

She lives alone. The venerable
