promoters Of this road have been
working so quietly for several months
that the public has scarcely known
Of the operations, but as the con
tract for the steel was let recently
and now all of the timbers have been
contracted for, nothing remains to
be done except to begin the work OF
construction, and this, 1t is said, will
be inangurated in short time.
The survey has been going on for
several weeks, has progressed several
hundred miles and Is all but finished
The contract just let provides that
shipments of timbers shall begin In
ninety days and proceed as rapidly
las the work requires, and 1t is stated

appears. The supreme court of Iowa
has rendered a similar decision in tie

This opinion Is confined to the Of

must depend upon the constitution

The Dangerous FIyPest
Take Precautions to Destroy
the Disease Carriers.

If a man should come tramping
into your parlor, besmearing the
rugs OF carpets with the mud, slime
and filth that had adhered to his
boots as he worked in the sewers
or walked in the wet cutters, there
would be an exceedingly lively pro-
test and a very thorough cleaning
after he had been ordered out Oh
kicked out. A resort to violent
measures to get rid of such an af-
front and menace would be upheld
by the courts and by public senti-
ment.
And yet just such a nuisance,
onlymore impudent and dangerous,
is tolerated in every house, with
but little effort to expel him or
with but indifferenent protests as
to his presence. The common house
fly is an unmitgated thief and
scoundrel, a filth bearing, disease
carrying rascal who does not stop
at defiling rugs and carpets and
furniture, !but who deliberately and
with intent sets his dirty feet any
where, even upon the vicsuals you
eat.
The fly is as bad as the mosquito
as an agent for carrying disease
and it is many times more filthy.
Mosquitoes carry yellow fever and
it is many times more filthy. Mos
quitos carry yellow fever and mala'
ria, but in civilized countries vel
low fever gains no hold and in this
locality malaria isn't very serious.
Flies, however, carry typhoid
fever and there is no more insidious
and and treacherous disease, and If
the death of flies will guard against
it, then the flies must die. But we
can't kill them all. We can, how
ever, protect food from their con-
Eliminating touch. Here are direc'
tions for the campaign in Chicago
and they will apply here as well:
"Screen all food to keep flies
away from it.
"Keep the streets clean--with a
capital G.
"Keep stable manure in vaults
or pits, and sprinkle with chloride
of lime. Stable manure is the best
of all breeding places for flies.
''Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house. 1t will kill most of the flies,
and stun the rest, so that they can
be swept up and burned"
