SEWER ASSESSMENT ANNULLED.
Property Owners Appeal to the
Council for Relief.

At the regular council meeting on
Wednesday evening, the owners OF
property on the northern end of Park
avenue applied to the council to have
the resolution ordering the sewer in
front of their property rescinded and
the assessment annulled. The prep
erty owners present were Frank Hes
Ter, Mr.. Gilbertson, III. L. Smith and
Henry Schrapps. They stated that
they did not any of them want the
sewer to come north of Grifdth's
resi- sidence and that the sewer assess
ment was on some of the lots worth
more than the lots
Alderman Gutter called attention to
the fact that hearing had been held
on all these matters, and that proper
notice of the hearings had been pub
lished in The TRIBUNE and that it
was the property owners own fauft
if he had not attended the hearings.
The council discussed the matter
for some time and decided to grant
the relief if possible and the city at
torney, mayor and city clerk were
appointed a committee to institute
the proper proceedings.
An application was made to have
the sewer for district IA (running III
alley parallel with Pacific avenue) ex-
tended from Ninth street to Eleventh
street. The matter was referred to the
property owners to present a formal
petition for the extension.
! Alderman Vinje brou ht up the
matter of laying out sprinkling dis
trict. but it was laid over to the next
meeting.
/ A request was made for the use oi
the armory for farmers meeting
! The council were disposed to grant
the request but referred the matter to
Erick Peterson, who is custodian OF
the armory.
A proposed amendment to the fire
department bylaws, which allows
the members 80 cents instead of Il
cents per hour for attendance at fires
was approved. The city has always
paid the department so cents per hour
but the department has set aside ter
cents of this to create sinking fund
They now have plenty of money II
that fund and the department wishe:
TO change the rule so that all the pay
of the members goes to the member'
! themselves.
After allowing the usual bills, the
council adjourned.

FARMERS BUNCOED.
Bogus Stock Food Made of Bran.
Charcoal. Chaff. Etc.

A Des Moines special to the St.
Paul Dispatch says that the farmers
of Iowa are paying as high as $14 for
stock foods that have no value at all
or at best only value of 81 or 81 is
the claim that the committee of the
board of directors of the department
of agriculture will make to the COM
mittees of agriculture at a joint meet
ing to be held soon. When the COM
mittees are brought together the re-
suits of the chemical analysis Of all
the patent stock foods on the market
will be laid before them. An attempt
will be made to show them that none
of the stock foods have any value as
stock food, but can be obtained by
the farmer, at very much cheaper rate
! by hGving the ordinary grains that
are fed TO stock. These facts will be
disclosed in an attempt to get thru
the bill Drovi1ing FOR state inspection
! of stock foods as Well as agricultural
seeds.
The chemical analysis iisc'oses that
some stock food that is widely adver-
tised and is sold for $14 per 100 pounds
! is made up of bran, milling offal, COM
mon salt, pepper, charcoal, chaff,
hulls and some seeds that have no
particular value. Veterinary surgeons
claim that this compound has no value
other than the small amount of pro-
! tein in the bran and milling offal
which as stock food is worth about 81
per 100 pounds.
Another is made up of $3.50 per
cent ashes and the rest is yetenian red
land lime. There is absolutely no value
to the food, yet it sells for Sc per 10C
,pounds Another is made up Of lin
seed meal, common salt, charcoal and
|some weeds, the hnseed meal being
the only thing of value and yet it
lsells at a high price. Another is
made of 64.4e per cent ashes and char
coal stibnite, dried blood, copper sui
phate, epson salts, common salt. oat
hulls and refuse and sells for So per
100 pounds.
The various weed seeds, charcoal
salts ard the like are put into the
stock foods to give them a smell and
taste that will deceive the farmer, the
bran or chaff being the basis for the
food

Chokio tire Previous Day ~
Drainage, Corn Raising and
County Agricultural Schools will
be Discussed by Experts.

The Farmers Meeting which was
held last March uuder the auspices of
the Stevens County Farmers Club,
was such a success and SO many farm
ers attended that the club has decided
that they will have another meeting
on Saturday, February 23rd.
These meetings should be attended
by all because it not only gives each
farmer an opportunity to hear an ex-
pert's opinion on the subjects discuss
ed but it gives him better chance to
get the experiences of his neighbors
and others of his acquaintances.
The principal topics to be discussed
this year are just as vital as those
that were taken up at last years.

before the Stevens county farmer to-
day as drainage. corn raising and re-
Gently the subject of county agricul-
tural schools has been agiUated.
The CLUB is to secure the services of
an expert on farm drainage to talk at
these meetings and discuss the various
problems existing in this country. II
any of you are in doubt as to whether
it pays to drain your land or not, it
would pay you to come and hear the
opinion of one who has spent long
term in studying this one particular
thing.
Mr.. E. G. Parker is to be here again
and talk on corn raising, its cultiva-
ton, etc., the benefits OF corn raising,
it's value as feed and its cost of pro-
duction as compared to other food
stuffs, what effect it has on the land
Those of you who met Mr.. Parker at
our county fair last fail know that he
speaks of what he knows and that he
is we'll informed on this subject and
we'll worth hearing
Prof. VIM. Robertson is to be here
from the Grand Ra lids School oi
Agriculture and viii speak on tbs
agricultural school problem. He will
go into the needs for more agricultur-
al schools through the country ano
what may be expected from them il
tablished. This is q subject thai is
d. being talked about quite a little lately
and is especially of interest as one oi

Religion And Ruins of An

Solomon, she was so astoDished
at his wisdom and the grand
scale upon which he was running
things, that she exclaimed the
one half had never been told.
1t is pretty much the same way
with one coming TO Egypt. We
are astonished at what we see.
We have been hearing of the
wonders down here all our lives,
but we have merely half COM
pretended. Only the sight of
them can give anything like
correct idea of what they are. 1t
is not alone their intrinsic grand
eur and beauty which make
them so interesting, but rather
the purpose of their creation.
Nearly all of the principal sights
were the products of their reli-
gion. They show the early strug.
gle of the human mind to fathom
the future and to worship some
higher power that rules over all.
Perhaps they did the best they
could with the lights before them;
but these sad remains, grand and
beautiful in ruin, prove that both
their religion and their gods
were false. There is food for
thought in Egypt.
1t is a singular fact that an
cient Egypt's architects, sculptors
and painters devoted their talents
almost entirely to the construc-
ton and decoration of gods, tenn
piles or tombs, or to objects con-
nected with the one or the other.
Evidently much attention was
given to the worship of their
strange gods and to the life be-
yond the grave. One does not
have to be able to read hierogly-
phics in order to know how
they lived here and how they
expected to live hereafter. Over
in the mountains on the Libyan
desert, down at Thebes, are some
sights worth all the cost of a trip
to Egypt. Cut in the solid rock
for many yards are the royal
tombs. Each tomb consists of 9
slanting shaft, composed of 8
series of inclined planes connect
ed by rock steps, having on each
side chambers for the mummiel
of the Kings relatives and some
times chambers for his servants
with the Kings chamber at the
end of the shaft. On the walls o.
the shaft and the chambers are
numerous carved and painted
forms of gods, men, beasts, birds
fish, reptiles, vessels, imple
ments, boats, food, etc. Thes,
are so arranged and combined a
to show how the King lived il
this world and how he hoped t.
live in the world to come.

that they would frighten away d
ghost. The figures were so ar
ranged as to express IDEAS, and a
complete history OF the Kings
life is written in his tomb. II is
worthy Of note that the dog and
the camel are not in these repre-
sentalions. Their conception OF
the gods which they worship
ed was unique. The earliest
Egyptians worshiped animals; at
later period they gave human
forms to their gods, and still
later they united the two, and
always represented their god
with birds or beasts head on
a human form-never a human
head on the bird or beast. The
sphinx with mans head on
the body of lion) represented the
King and not god. They also
worshiped the sun. Quite mum.
Der of these tOmbs have been
discovered and opened, and the
Egyptian government is still
excavating. Future discoveries
may throw much light on the
past. There is an electric plant
near there already opened, and
