CONDITIONS MORE FAVORABLE.
Better Outlook for Curing of the Seasons
Tobacco Crop.

Up 10 the middle of October there
was gloomy outlook for our tobacco
| yield, in this section at least, because
oil the continuous cool weather. which
retarded curing For three weeks past
the weather was ideal. This condition
has restored courage to growers of the
weed They now feel more hopeful
of the future for quality and price of
tobacco. Local warehousemen are still
engaged in sampling the 1906 packing.
Some packers have had crews of hands
rehandling and cleaning goods of an Off
character. SO far as the CENSOR is
advised there have been no sales of the
new crop. BY the item below quoted
it is learned that slight movement
has been inaugurated in the 1906 pack
ing.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter has
the following to present about matter:
'Ihe pleasant Indian summer weather
which has prevailed during the week
has been conducive to the curing or the
tobacco crop. the later harvested por-
tion of which still yet needs consider
able warm weather to carry it beyond
the dangers of freezing in the sheds
There is a general complaint that the
tobacco is curing slowly this season.
the absence of the usual warm DAYS
during the early fall months being
mainly the reason for it.
There is absolutely nothing being done
toward buying the crop or indications
that the movement win be started soon.
Holders of old goods derive some en-
enlargement from the report coming
from New York that large block Of
Blur d Bekkedal packing of '06 has
been disposed of at very fair figures
The transaction is important in that it
helps establish market price. thus far

Berkeley, Cal, May 11.-Postmaster
George Schmidt discussed the postal
situation before the members of the

ton last night. Schmidt asserted that
the service was the worst in the Unit
ed States; that the force was short

that the pay was so small that he was
afraid he would lose those now on
duty. He said 1t was impossible to
get anyone except incompetents to
take the civil service examination or
to apply for positions.

ment at Washington, about this many

THE postoffice department seems to
think that the great increase in our
business is imaginary. Sometimes
they think 1t is a temporary condition,
caused by the presence here of several
thousand persons, who were burned
out in San Francisco a year ago and
are camping in Berkeley. They can
not understand that the population
should have made a permanent in
crease of more than fifty per cent in
a year"

SEWER SYSTEM COMPLETE
MATTER OF ACCEPTANCE is NEXT
STEP.
ONLY CLEANING UP REMAINS
Mayor Durland is Now Famllarizlng
Himself With the Details Of the Con.
tract Under Which the Sewer Has
Been Bult-Cost $4,000.

The Norfolk sewer system Is virtual
ly completed. Only the incidental
work of cleaning up remains. The
question of the city accepting the sew
err system will come before the city
council meeting at the mid-month
meeting on Thursday evening, May 16.
Contractor o. =. Herrick of Sioux
City will be in the city during the
week. Meanwhile Mayor Durlaud, un.
der whose administration the sewer
system is to be accepted, Is spending
part of his time familiarizing himself
with the terms and conditions of the
sewer contract entered between the
city and Contractor Herrick.
The cost of the sewer will not
amount to over $4,000, 1t is stated.
Approved bills for the recent work
have not yet been sent before the
council. Last spring the city voted
$4,000 in bonds to cover the cost of
the sewer construction. 1t was neces-
sary to discount the bonds in selling
them on account of the low rate of
interest carried, Contractor Herrick,
having agreed to accept the bonds in
payment for the sewer, standing for
the greater part of the discount.
The acceptance of the sewer system,
when fully completed with the city
streets restored to their normal con
dition, falls on the city council acting
on the advice and official report of the
city engineer. The council meeting is
Thursday evening. 1t is quite posi-
bic that some hitch in the final under
standing between the city and the con.
tractor may arise over the question of
assessing the cost of alterations in
the water mains and other similar
matters lowering in the air.
Once the sewer system has been ac
cepted by the city, the next step in
Norfolk's municipal program will be
the creation of sewer districts to con
meet different sections of the city with
the new sewer mains constructed vi

A spring housekeeping In the city
Jail!
One of the first acts of the Durland
administration will be to thoroughly
overhaul the city Jail. The Norfolk jail
never was intended to be attractive
but It is at least going to be clean.
Chief of Police John Flynn on taking
Office this week visited the Jail and
reported that it was filthy. Mayor
Durland went to look for himself. The
mayor was shocked. He said that
blankets and mattresses in the jail
would not make decent bedding for a
respectable horse.
So the old Jail is going to have a
cleaning. 1t is going to feel the touch
paint. New furnishings are to be put
in the iron cage cells. The work OF
putting the Jail into decent condition
will be under the direction of Chief
Flynn. He has started in by having
the tight board fence about the jail
put in such condition that it will keep
people away from the Jail windows.
Not Competing With Hotels.
But the Norfolk Jail is not going to
compete with the hotels. 1t is not
going to be so clean and tidy that the
officers will fear to turn in the way
ward "bum" lest he soil its spotless
whiteness; but the Jail is going to be
put in such condition that it can not
be pointed out as a disgrace to the
city.
A city Jail is not a place where con
victed prisoners are long confined
People thrown into it's confines are
largely suspects" - people presume
bly, innocent in the eyes of the law
until convicted. People wrongly and
rightly charged are locked in the city
jail-and if they are finally branded
as guilty" they are usually advanced
to more attractive quarters in the
county Jail,
City jails are said to be nearly uni
form in being unclean and badly kept
In Norfolk the new administration
thinks that the general rule ought tc
be smashed in favor of a clean eXcep
ton. So Chief Flynn is going to clean

breeze of popularity that might threat
