Stock shipments from CEN

markets have been heavy dur
ing the last few weeks, more
than 500 cars of sheep and cat

Surprise Party
About thirty-five young
friends of Miss Harriet Peak
gave her a pleasant surprise'
last night at her home on
Sunny Side. TO say she was
surprised would be putting it
mildly. The young people met
at the home of Dell Myers and

Peak home. The evening was
spent in music, games and
dancing. AS II o'clock Mrs.
Peak, assisted by Miss Frazier,
served a four course luncheon.

had spent a most pleasant
evening, and everyone hoping
to be entertained again by
Miss Peak.

EDITORS OUT FOR
A GOOD TIME
Spend Few Hours Talking
Shop and Seeking Fun

q
Coming here with the avowed
intention of making the sum.
mer meeting as much of a
holiday as possible and avoid
talking "shop," the members of
the Western Iowa Editorial
association held but one brief
session yesterday and that in
the afternoon. The balance of
the day was devoted to enjoy
ing the attractions of the street
fair and carnival and witness
ing the road building demon
strations in the south part of
the city.
Owing to the fact that several
members were late in arriving,
the morning session was dis
pensed with, although a few
gathered at the public library
building and discussed the rise
in prices of paper and other
material used in newspaper and
printing offices. While prices
of material and the cost of
labor have increased. but few
of the country publishers have
had the nerve to raise the
price of their weekly papers
from 81 a year.
At the afternoon session,
which was presided over by The
veteran editor, j. C. McCabe of
the Logan Observer, officers
for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
President w. P. Whortman.
Malvern Leader.
Vice President II. C. Ford,
Woodbine Twincr.
Secretary and Treasurer p.
A. Stevens, Silver City Times.
Program Committee w. G..
Campbell, Harlan Tribune; e.
E. Lewis, Atlantic Farmer; l..
w. White, Woodbine Messen-
ger. Council Bluffs Bee.

western part of Monona county

ton of the same. There are
nearly 100000 cubic yards in
the contract and the improve
ments will be paid for in cash
and must be completed by Oct.
l, 1908.
The big shoe houses are send
ing out statements to the effect
that tan shoes will be the style
for the spring of 1908, a fact
that will be pleasing to many
people who like that shoe and
who dislike to wear them in
the face of criticism.

and son Arthur left this after
noon for Notre Dame, Indiana,
where Arthur will enter Bron-

The city council at it's regu-
lar meeting Monday night
passed an ordinance prohibit
ing the building of anymore
plank walks in Woodbine.
Hereafter when your walk
plays out it will have to be re-
newed witha new cement walk.
This is generally done now in
town anyway, as cement only
costs about five dollars more
per lot than the board walks
and lasts many times as long.
The ordinance, which is pub
lished elsewhere in this paper,
gives five years from date with
in which to bring all the walks
in town to the cement basis.

Fire Protection For Small Town,

Suggestions made by Councillor L. C.
Menlove of Ner,len. Man, Mt recent
convention cover the question OF vii
lagc or town fire protection, says the
Municipal Journal and Engineer. Ac
cordiny 10 the source of water supply
plants must vary, but in any event
there should be storage tanks of wood
or concrete near the points OF greatest
risk. The bottoms of these tanks
should not I've more than twenty feet
from ttegtvef % the street, and INC
lnanhofc should " large enough TO
permit cleaning. AS TO apparatus, 4
hook and ladder truck carrying cou.
pie of wall ladders extending from
twenty-siN 10 thirty feet. 100 pals and
two hand fire extinguishers are OF the
first Importance. A small two cylin-
der fifty gallon chemical eNtin-uislier,
with drop bottom for dumping acid, Is
capable OF putting out so per cent os
all the fires that will occur. OF en-
gines for pumping water the steam fire
engine takes the lead, but the expense
of maintenance OF n gasoline engine
is less. and it is accordingly recon-
mcnded. The usc OF hose wagon is
recommended because quicker work
can he done. and 1t keeps the hose In
better condition than when wound on
reel. The personnel of the fire de
pariment should not he neglected. and
the chief shonld not eniy lie an ex-
perienced man. but should be so ia
vOrably known that his men will have
confidence IN him and carry ONT his
orders with aiacrity.
