Street Intersection sinks.
The city engineer reports a peculiar freak
Of nature in the sudden settling Of a large
portion Of the intersection of Twenty-third
and z streets, This intersection has always
been a treacherous one. The heavy Ia.ns
have washed 1t out many times. Last year
il was paved with the hope of saving 1t,
but the water undermined the paving and
all Of the labor was lost. The intersection
was fillcd this spring. Sunday morning the
intersection sank twenty feet. 1t did not
slide into the hollow at that point, but
went straight down. There is no telling
what caused the sudden subsistence, but It
occurred. About sixty feet east OF the
embankment a bulge was discovered in
the surface which had not been there be-
fore. The engineer says this is where the
pressure Of earth caused a displacement.
although it looks from the surface as if
there could be no connection. The cause
Of the trouble is doubtless the spr.ngy con-
dit on of the sol.

shortly unless the market breaks unex-
Cattle on the other hand were

# the differences

These are some of the differences ~
We bake in live steam-you bake in dry heat We
bake the beans until they are mealy without crisping OF
breaking them You cannot do this.
Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees. Then we bake in
small parcels, so that the heat goes through. Thus the
atoms are separated 50 the digestive juices can get to
them.
Scarcely half so much heat can get to the center of
your baking dish. The result is, a heavy food, hard ia
digest.
Not a home in the wc=ld has the facilities to bake beans
as we bake ours. Why bother to try it'll Why waists

They will find that beans can be baked until they are
mealy, yet remain nutty because they are whole.
They will find that the tomato sauce baked into the
beans gives a new and delicious blend.
And they will find that beans, when rightly baked, are
easy to digest. Then beans become-as they should be-
almost a daily dish.

Fire House Goes over.

The matter OF the new central fire station
went over for another week. Councilman
Jensen reported that the city engineer
plans for the retaining walls in Indian
creek would be ready in a few days and
suggested that the clerk be instructed to
advertise for bids so as not to delay matters
any further. Mayor Maloney suggested that
ne, as perhaps some of the councilmen
would also. like to look over the plans first,
and the matter went ever for another week
Mr.. Jensen also reported that n. p. Dodge
& Co., agents for the old city mill prop
erty at the corner of Washington avenue,
offered the lot at the corner for $500 and
the one adjoining for $3.50. The corner
lot. he stated, has a frontage on Washing
ton avenue OF sixty-eight feet, with 1873 feet
on Bryant street, while the other lot has
a frontage of sixty feet on Washington
avenue and a depth OF 1888 feet to the creek.
Councilman Jensen said that as it was
proposed te erect a building sixty-eight
feet long 1t would be necessary to buy both
lots II II was decided to place IL there. He
said that the foundations for the building
would cost at least 1900. Consideration OF
the offer went over with the matter of the
plans for another week.

Improvement club asking tina the city
solicitor be instructed to investigate

a determined effort on the part OF Council
man BeIlinger 10 have II sent to the city
solicitor, Councilman Jensen took the posi-
tion that the resolution was not in good
faith and that II was not the proper time
to make the suggested investigation. This
was a matter. he declared, which would
have TO be looked into In the near future
and when that time came the city would
do II without instructions from any inn
provement club, Mr.. Jensen was supported
Morgan. Councilman Younkerman said he
wanted the matter investigated. as he had
wanted TO know for a long time whether
the street railway company had any fran
chise in Council Bluffs or not. Bellinger
and Younkerman alone voted for sending
the matter to the city solicitor and the
original motion by Jensen to table the
matter carried.
