Improving Our Streets.

Mr.. Editorials the attention
OF everybody living in town is
called to the ordinance passed by
the City Council compelling every
resident to screen his cistern
and wells. and Oil the pond holes
or any other places on their
premises that hold water and
breed mosquitoes.
l would like to ask what is
going to be done with the hun
dreds of slum holes in the bitches
at the sides of the streets
throughout the town. Some say
oil them. | will take the liberty
of suggesting what | think is a
better and cheaper way lin the
long rum and certainly is more
in keeping with clean streets.
These slum holes are caused in
the majority of cases by scrap
ing or digging the bitches out in
some places lower or deeper than
the outlet; consequently the
water must stand in them until it
dries up. They are not only I'M
slightly, but are filthy and un-
healthy. The quickest and most
perfect way to get rid of them is
to fill them up to a regular grade,
so the water will all run off.
And the way to do this the
quickest and most perfectly is to
take some cheap inch planks
and saw them into blocks about
eighteen inches long. then split
the blocks into small stakes
about one inch square and
sharpen one end, then have some
practical man who has had some
practical knowledge of leveling
take the stakes to the slum holes,
commencing at the head of the
slum and drive a stake down in
the middle of the ditch till the
top of the stake is perfectly
level with the top of the water in
the slum. then go on about fifteen
feet and drive another stake
down in the middle of the ditch
till the top of the stake is perfect
ly level with the top of the water
in the slum and so On to the end
of the standing water in the ditch.
Then let the town council send
two or three teams with wagons
and men to load them to some of
the large bitches where there is
of dirt on the banks that |
ought to be removed to save the
big bitches from caving in, and !;
haul the dirt to these slum holes ]
md fill them up perfectly level
the tops of the stakes driven
here for that purpose. The :
1irt will soon become solid and {
ways remain there. Then a
great nuisance and eye sore will :
lave been removed.
Let this be done throughout {
he town. It will be one of the !
greatest improvements to some t
# our streets that has ever been :
made for so small a cost. And
will also be carrying out the !
mosquito ordinance. +

The fellow employees and
friends of Mr.. E. D. Mooar

Mooar and his bride at the home
of James Watson last Friday
evening. The occasion was q
most pleasant one, and MIR. and
Mrs. Mooar we're welcomed in q
number of short speeches by
those present. Several fine
musical selections and happy
recitations helped to add to the
pleas ure of the evening, before
the close of which light refresh
ments in the form of ice cream
and cake were served. Mrs.
Mooar's home was in Litchfield

The Differences!

Buttermaker A. P. Ryger re.
turned home last week from at
tendance upon the buttermak-
er's convention and dairy show
which was held at Chicago. Mr..
Ryger says that to anyone in
terested in buttermaking or
dairylng the exposition was q
most valuable and interesting
experience. The difference be-
tween the prime butter that
brings the top notch price and
that which because of some i'm
perfection, was standing on the
market without buyers at any
price, was an object lesson that
those who handle milk or cream,
should see to appreciate. Mr..
Ryger received 931 points ON
the butter from the Grant coun-
ty creamery, the highest score
of any butter examined being
81. The testing was on flavor,
grain, color, salt and package,
on the last four of which he was
marked perfect, and the Judges
markings stated that the loss in
flavor was undoubtedly due to q
portion of the milk having be-
come tainted or soured. Thus
the necessity for absolute clean
liness and careful handling of
milk was given practical illus
tration. Mr.. Kyger was elected
vice president of the national
association.
