CITY OFFICIALS TALK
Continued from page one.)

The bad condition of South and
Prospect streets was discussed at
length and various plans suggested
for better drainage. The main trou-
BILE seems to be that property owners
do not care to go to the expense at
present of doing the work, and the
city, even had it the legal authority
to put all streets in the pink of per-
fection, had not the cash to do 1t. 1t
was reported that other streets need
ing immediate attention are Lincoln,
Hazlett and Harrison.
THAT AUDITORIUM ROOF.
Hall, of the finance committee of
council, asked all city officials who
possibly could to be on hand at city
hall Saturday afternoon to go in a
body to the Auditorium and make a
critical examination of the roof. All
promised to be on hand not later than
2:30. In talking over the repairs tc
be made it was the concensus of opin-
ion that not only would an entire new
roof be necessary, but also that a
large part OF the plastering inside
would have to be removed and new
put ON. A gravel asphalt roof found
most favor and it was said that it
could be put on for about $3.25 a
square. 1t will require at least 400
squares of the material to make a
complete job. At this price Ave-
year guarantee goes with the contract.
DOG ORDINANCE AGAIN.
Some one with bravery suggested

son of the oil which daily drips from
the wheels of street cars-especially
those OF the interurban lines-a sug-
gestion was made that the cars be
provided with oilcloth aprons to catch
The oil as it dropped from the Jour
nails. Buchanan said the the Canton
Akron company were having the OIL
ing apparatus of their cars so changed
that the oil could not drop from the
wheels to the street.
Hall suggested that the. hitching
posts should be removed from Market
and Tuscarawas streets around the
square down as far as Seventh.
Complaint was made that the Penn
sylvania railroad company was occu-
pying all of Tuscarawas street at their
crossing, where a gang of men were
at work putting in new ties and rails
end filing in between the tracks. 1t
was said that it had been impossible
to drive across the tracks at that point
for several days. Notice will be served
on the company to hurry the work
with all possible speed.
Williams did not think the city
should pay for removing the dirt from
Schwalm street to North street. 9th
ers of council agreed with him. Ii
was thought that if the people on
North street wanted the dirt hauled
in there to FIJI their street that they
should pay for it themselves. Servers
and engineer said it was as cheap to
eump the surplus dirt from Schwalm
street Improvement there as to take
II elsewhere.
At this stage of the conference,
hunter broke up the meeting by maxi
ing a motion that the chair appoint
committee Of three to set time and
place and make the necessary ar
rangements for city officials picnic

MANUFACTURERS VIEWS
ON THE LABOR PROBLEM

Buffalo, NJ Y, July 18.-James w.
Van Cleave, of st. Louis, president Of
the National Association of Manufac.
turers addressed the Typothetae con-
vention today on the labor problem.
He said both organized capital and
organized labor sought special privil-
eges and were wont to break the law.
He condemned the methods and the
purposes of organized labor in it's po-
litical effect to force an eight hour
law, which he said was intended only
as an opening wedge for more class
legislation.

members of the body polite side-step,

en- a reason for deferring the matter
a little longer Buchanan suggested
that dogs were something like Indians
the best ones were the dead ones.
Brooks would treat them like council
had disposed of the hog question-put
them all outside the city limits. Foulk
thought that every man in the city
who didn't own dog should pay the
tax on dogs for some one else who
does own one Munter suggested that
one section Of the ordinance should
require everybody in town who has
no dog to buy two and maintain them.
FLOODS AND SEWERS.
Cause of food at Tuscarawas and
Walnut streets and remedies to pre-
vent a repetition of same was discus
sed, but there were almost as many
opinions as people present. A new
sewer 1t was believed would solve the
problem.
Condition of Ninth street from Mar
ket to Walnut was reported to be
bad, owing to relaying of pavement
which was taken up by Merchants
Heat, Light & Power Co. A sugges-
ton was made that hereafter contrac-
tors who tear up paved streets ought
to be made to put down new bricks in
stead of using the old ones when re-
paving.
Paved street on Tuscarawas street
near Valley depot was reported to be
in bad condition.
Manholes on Cassidy street, which
are protruding above the street level
to such a height that it is dangerous
to drive over the street after dark
were reported Servers said they
would have fill made around them.
Bad holes were reported in bridge
at Henry street.
Conditions of affairs on Navarro
street were discussed, during which
the fact was brought out that abut-
ting property which was heretofors
supposed would not pay out for paw
ing purposes was worth, according to
recent sale of Shades to the city,
fully four dollars per foot.
Servers Munter and Buchanan, In
answering a question of Councilman
Williams, said that the pump recently
installed at the water works was do
ing nicely, and that the board at to-
days meeting would go carefully over
the contract with Tod & Co., the max
ers, and determine what action they
deemed best to take in reference to
the $25 day penalty clause. Will
liams thought the city should enforce
it If possible,
EXPENSE OF RE-ASSESSMENT.
Engineer Sarver inquired who was
to take up the matter of the re-assess-
ment in Sewer District No. 1. and was
informed it would fall to the lot of
the engineer, solicitor and committee
on law. In that event Sarver said
funds would have to be provided to
pay for the services Of another engi-
neer to take charge of the work as he
was already away behind in other
work which had been piled upon him

displayed the warrant which has been
issued to him based on the shooting
at Bradley for the arrest of President
Milliard, of the U. S. Coal Co. Urig
says if Milliard gives himself up he

BIG VEIN COAL co.
Has Difficulty in Securing Right Of
Way

Special to Morning rSews.
Salineville, July Island owners
who have been approached by agents
of the Big Vein Coal Co., for a right
of way over their land to the pro-
posed new opening of coal mine,
have in each instance held their land
as very valuable and 1t will probably
mean that the coal company must
find some other route to remove the
coal from this field.
The refusal of the PIrties to take
a reasonable sum fJF their land
brought the rumor that the company
will reopen what is known as the
Cedar Hill mine one mile south of
this village and attempt to market the
coal from this point.

The History of the Turkey.

Now that turkeys nave been having
some attention we give a history of
the turkey as published by the New
York American:
When Hernado Cortez conquered
Mexico in 1920 he found several thous-
ands of these noble birds strOlling
about the court yard of the great pal
ace of the luckless Emperor Monte
yuma, and promptly sent some of
them to Spain, a service to civiliza-
ton that seems hardly to have been
recognized fittingly, mistaken histOr-
ians emphasizing his feats OF arms
rather than his gift to Epicurus.
In 1924 the first mention of turkeys
in England is noted, and evidently
they were brought to Europe by mer-
chants who came by way of the Le-
vante, confusion of the West Indies
and East Indies resulting in the be-
stowal of wrong name.
The present French names of dindes
and dindons show that they were be-
lieved to have come from the Indies.
By 1541 English gourmets had realized
the value of the turkey and rule
was promulgated by Archbishop Gran
mer prohibiting the serving of more
than one at feast. Fourteen years
later they had become so common that
records show they were sold for as
little as 4s. each, and by 1878 well-to-
do farmers were accustomed to serve
them for Christmas and other state
occasions.
A book published in Paris in 1878
gravely announced on the authority of
the best physicians of the time that
turkeys eggs were a cause of lep-
rosy, but it is pretty safe to say that
any fear of such i'll consequences will
not be likely to change the Thanks
giving customs of America or cause
any considerable number to refrain
from paying their devoirs to King
Turkey on that festal day.

To Cure SeIf-Suckinq Cows.

This subject has been spoken of two
or three times in The Ranch late
ly, and appears to be one of great in
terest to many of our readers. From
far-off Ohio comes a suggestion from
a subscriber, and we are glad to give
it for the benefit of our readers. The
subscriber writes: ''In the dairy de-
partment of the March 18th issue a

orally sorted. The expert wool sorter
opens the fleece and takes out pOr-
ton here and there, and throws it in
separate piles or baskets. The num-
Der of sorts in fleeces varies greatly,
ranging from two or three to five or
six sorts from one fleece. 1t has been
found that feeces from pure-bred
sheep do not, as a rule, have many
sorts taken from them as those from
cross-bred sheep. Fleeces uniform in
quality and length of staple are most
desirable for manufacturing purposes.

Much Cross-Bred Wool.

A very large percentage of the wool
produced in the United States is cross
bred wool. That is, of the wool reach
ing our markets but small percent
age, relatively speaking, comes from
pure-bred sheep even If we take the
total product from all the breeds of
sheep. The fleeces of wool which are
graded by local dealers or commission
men are seldom opened The sorting
process is much more accurate and
closer method of classifying woods.

ural instinct, in search of food. At
tempting to teach a calf to dring in
this manner, therefore, must general
ly. il not always, eliminate in regu-
lar circus, so to speak. A mechanical
calf feeder is the best device for a
calf taken from its mother. The use
of stanchions has much to do in train
ing a calf in the way it should go.
In the anxiety to keep their cream
cries clean many buttermakers are
too liberal with water and in dispos-
ing of overflow from coolers Tor
heaters) the water is often allowed
to meander all over the floor instead
of having pipes connected with the
drain. The demand for rubber boots
or boots with wooden soles proves
this assertion and we feel sure that
many makers overlook the danger of
moisture being favorable to mold and
bacterial growth as we'll as the bene
fetal action of dryness. There is no
need of all this slush in our cream
cries and cheese factories and a
really clean creamery or cheese fac
tory should also be dry enough not
to require the buttermakers to resort
to rubber boots.
Winter dairying brings the big
money. Have butter to sell when
your neighbors have none. Then be-
sides the winter milk, COWS will do
very we'll the following summer also.
Begin preparation now for securing
this condition The sooner you do
the quicker will the returns come.
Milking Machines Operate Successful
The Burrell-Lawrence-Kennedy COW
milking machines installed some time
ago in the Wanna Farm Dairy of w.
G.. Spence, at Portland, Ore, are run
ming daily and have proved complete
success in every way. Mr.. Spence
has now tested these machines sufi-
cient length of time to fully judge
of the many features contained in
them and he finds that they milk the
COWS quickly and leave no strippings,
the COWS take to them kindly, give
their milk down readily and continue
with their feeding during the milking.
In his dairy of forty COWS one man
with two machines is now doing all
the milking where formerly two men
were employed. The machines do not
seem to dry the COWS up, in fact,

Consequently, if you wish to produce
wool most desirable for the manufac-
turer, we must not cross indiscrim-
inately. We can use for the founda-
ton stock of a flock, grade or native
ewes, and by systematic grading up
with some definite breed of sheep we
can produce a more even grade of
wool throughout the fleece.

seem to increase the flow of milk over
hand milking. The milk drawn
through the machines is far more san
itary than that drawn by hand, in
fact, it is practically pure and will
keep sweet from two to three times
as long, and Mr.. Spence is using this
as an advertising feature in his bust
ness.

REoRGANIzE rNJuNp COURT.

Pierre, S.. D., Sept. 11.-Major Downs,
the agent in charge of the Cheyenne
River Indian agency, has reorganized
the Indian police court. In the past
the court of three members have been
sitting at the agency each ration day
to decide cases brought before them Of
petty troubles among their people.
This has been changed by dividing the
reservation into three districts, one
Judge being assigned to each district,
n he will hold court at stated places
M his district twice a month. When
he runs against a case which is too
complicated or difficult for him to
handle it goes to the supreme COURT
consisting Of the three judges, who sit
at the agency one in three months.
The first meeting of the supreme court
is to be held on the 18th of this month.
All decisions of the district judge are
subject to the approval of the BOSS
farm-r of his district, who besides be-
ing in charge of the farming opera
lions is a general overseer of the IN
dams in his district. The decisions Of
the supreme court are subject to re-
vision by the agent, who is supreme in
all such matters. Generally the de-
cisions OF the Indian courts are sus-
tanned, and the people are putting a
great a of reliance on them in set

SENTENCE FOR
THREATENING WRITER
Man Who Mailed improper Missives tc
President Roosevelt and Others
Indicted by Grand Jury.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 12.-The grand
jury has returned ten indictments,
which will be made public as soon as
the arrests have been made. AS was
expected, the jury made its final report
Saturday morning. when the trial OF
cases commenced. Nick Swanson, an
Indian from Rosebud agency, pleaded
guilty to having stolen a mare from
Elmer Huston, and Sam Mound, an In
dian, pleaded guilty to the charge OF
having introduced liquor upon this
Crow reservation. They were sentenced
Saturday. A fatal mania for writing

This is not Dahlheimer's first offense,
as he has already served a term for
writing letters to Helen Gould. But not

the p~enitentiary and was soon at IL
again. Over 500 letters and postals to

signed with his full name. He is par

strange features of the case was that
though the letters We're signed by the
mans rightful name, yet it was a long
time before the officials could lay hands
upon him. He is a one-legged man, and
this description alone was sufficient to
bring misery to hundreds Of one-legged

A. Tracy, Of Sioux City, finally landed
the man at an Iowa hotel. The identi.
f~lcation was made by a comparison of
the signature on the hotel registers
with that affixed to the letters.
Dahlheimer is a well educated and
even brilliant man and a geologist of
no small repute. His standing was
such that when he reported to the gov
discovered diamonds on the White riv-
er, the governor sent a commission
there to look into the matter. They
found no diamonds, but Dahlheimer
still clings to his original belief that
the precious stones abound along the
banks of that stream. He pleaded not
guilty, but the jury, after being out
an hour, decided that his plea was
wrong and that he was Enthusiastically
guilty. He will be sentenced today.
Another unusual case is that of Rob-
ert e. Bale, of HermOsa, who has tho
unhappy distinction of being the first
man to be brought before the court
on the charge of trespassing on the
forest reserve, according to a law
passed last spring. 1t seems that he
has been grazing from twenty-five to
eighty head of cattle on the reserve,
and he is indicted on three counts. His
case will come up this week.

of the Milwaukee, Fred Stewart, has
received instructions that this conces-
sion must not be granted after the 2Sth.
Superintendent PIERCE, of the Elan
dreau Indian school, said that he had
been expecting the order and was not
surprised that even government bust
ness was to be included in the law.
Annually the government appropriates
$4,000 for transportation of Indian pu-
pills to and from this institution, and
the new law means that this amount
will have to be nearly doubled.
