Monona-Harrison Ditch As
Sured

| Onawa, Ia. March 26. One
of the most important compro-
misses or agreements ever made
in Iowa was effected here to-
day when the contractors and
ditch men and the Civic fedora
tion, who are the objectors of
the big Monona-H Harrison drain
age ditch, came to an agree
ment and agreed that litigation
and all opposition to the ditch
through the court should cease.
The contractors have ordered
out their men and work with
the steam dredge will COM
mence as soon as possible.
The great work with
branches and laterals now in
sight will cost nearly a million
dollars, and is the greatest
drainage project ever contem
plated in the state of Iowa.
The people want the ditch,
which has already been delayed
one year, and there is much re-
joicing tonight over the out
look.

Some day this part of the city
will find out how strong they
are and they will only need a
Robespiere to lead them, when
they will lay the west side in

is piled up there. The only
thing that astonishes us is that
the east side hasn't broken
loose long ago and made every
thing west Of Fifth avenue a
desert waste. God pity New

that the east side wakes up to
a realization Of its strength.

The coming of warm weather
does not seem to cool the ardor
of the Central American fight
ers. The reports of defeats
and victories are sent out
broadcast by both countries,
Nicaragua and Honduras, but
it is hard to ascertain the truth
of any of them. Unless some
nation steps in and quiets them
there is a likelihood of able
bodied men being scarce for
some years to come. 1t must
be pleasure to be president
of such republics as they have
down there.

A Successful College

The Northwestern Business
College of Council Bluffs has
had a most successful season,
their enrolment surprising
any preceding year and more
than 33A per cent greater than
last year. They have had ten
times as many calls for young
men and women to take posi-
tions than they had graduates,
and some of the students have
gone directly to positions pay
ing as high as 500. The indi-
cation for a large enrolment at
the opening of the spring term,
Monday, April 1st, is excellent.
They have already the assur-
ance of a very large summer
school, and the indication for
their fall term shows that it is
going to be by far a record
breaker.

The railroads are pounding
stocks down in New York to
get even for the hostile rate
legislation enacted by the var
ious state legislatures the past
winter. They are trying to
get before the people in many
different ways with tales of
woe and are trying the above
as one of their strong cards.
However, there may have been
too much adverse legislation
with regards railroads, and we
believe that all the time spent
in legislative halls should not
be devoted to fighting corpora
tions.

local Northwestern head off
sces for $2,QOO,0OO in improve
:nents at Clinton, to consist Of
double track steel bridge
across the Mississippi, a new
brick passenger station and a
new brick freight house. All
are modern and large. The
improvements will be started
at once and will probably re-
quire at least three years time
on construction. The improve
ment is the greatest in lowe
since the double tracking OF
the system and the erection OF
the $2,000,00O steel Boone via
duct over the Des Moines river
here.
Trainmen and conductors on
all railroad lines west of Chica-

1t is further stated that the
trainmen have voted to strike il
their demands are not granted,
which would effect $4,000 men.
The offer which the men are
said to have rejected was for an
increase of 10 per cent, to men
in the freight service, and ter
dollars per month to conductors,
S6 per month to baggagemen,
and SIS per month to brakemen
and lagmen in the passenger

printed a statement this morn

ing of the large tract of land
near the city was due to the
effort of the Northwestern
road. The statement further
said that the Chicago & North
western intended to build large
shops there and discontinue the
use of the ones at Missouri
Valley. While that may sound
we'll to the residents of the
Bluffs, there is every reason to
believe that shops in the Bluffs
would not be convenient for

no reason to believe that Mis-
