GROWS INDIAN CORN.
Nice Report Of Crop Raised on Sod Ground in
This Countrywide Special Effort Made.

In conversation with the
News reporter last week, j. NJ.
Gillham, who lives in the Way
side community stated that he
had tried some sod land for corn
this year as an experiment. He
also stated that he had not made
any special effort in producing
an extra quantity but rather
tried to see what could be done
with the average amount of
farming and if anything he had
sighted the work.
In gathering the corn he was
careful in measuring in order
that he might be as accurate as
possible. He reports that he
had 40 rows of this sod corn
each one-half mile long and that
from this he gathered nearly 400
bushels of corn or approximately
forty bushels per acre.

The members of the central

ton now pending before this
people originated, met last Sat-
urday at l.. G.. Conner's Office
and consulted regarding several
matters pertaining to the work.
1t was decided that different
arrangements should be made
relative to the working for the
subscriptions upon the lands in
Randall county and to that end
committee consisting of l.. G.
Conner, John Knight and Geo. A.
Brandon was appointed to have
that particular matter in charge.
1t was also decided to employ
some person whose sole duty
should be to look after this por-

thought that this would make it
some particular PERSONS work
and that the work would there
fore be advanced more rapidly.
While in session the committee
discussed other matters which
are not yet ready for publication.
In connection with this rail
way matter it might be interest
ing to note that Major E. G. Cor

CANYON CITY
GROWING SOME.
BRICK STORE BUILDINGS ARE BEING
ERECTED AS FAST AS MEN CAN
DO THE WORK.
Improvements on East Side Of Square Begin
and Will be Rushed to Completion.
Five New Stores.

H Last Tuesday afternoon the
H work on the three new brick
H buildings on the east side of the
\ square which are being erected
i jointly by Messrs. r. B. Red
i fearn, A. S. Rollins and Harrison
and Garrison, was begun. The
/ foundation was laid and the walls
of the buildings will be rushed
as much as possible in order to
allow the tenants to get into the
buildings by the first of the year
if possible.
These buildings are to have
\ plate glass fronts and each are to
have a frontage of twenty feet
\ on that side of the square. They
| will have pressed brick in the
| front where brick are exposed
together with fiat swinging
awning such as are used in the
larger cities.
Plans for the two brick build
ingS which are to be erected on
the southeast corner for MeSSrs.
Hall and Abbott were also re-
ceived Tuesday and as soon as
the old buildings now on the
corner can be removed the work
on these two buildings will also
begin. This will make five brick
buildings altogether going up on
this side of the square.
The Hall-Abbott building plans
show an elegant front and street
exposure. The front has plate
glass windows with marble base
under the windows, large double
glass doors with loaded glass
transoms above the doors and
the awning thereby giving the
greatest amount of light possible
for such buildings. The awning
will be similar to that used in
the other buildings. In fact the
whole five are to be of the same
class of architecture in order to
make a solid block of neat ap-
pearing houses.
1t is reported on good author
ity that Messrs. George l.. Alb
bott and DR.. d. NJ. Stewart
have purchased from l.. II.
Lester the lot adjoining the Red
fearn building now being erect
ed and that they expect to erect
thereon a brick within a short
time. This will leave only the
old wooden shack occupied by
the telephone company on that
side of the square which will not
be solid brick and it is thought
that the telephone company
might be induced to build on
that lot.
Some people in this city have
been predicting that these build
ings now under course of con-
struction and contract, would
never be built but they are now
compelled to hide their little
hammers and acknowledge that
the town will advance whether
they want it to do so or not.
When the First National Bank
receive their plans for the new
I double brick on the northwest
corner of the square there will
be as fine set of brick business
\ houses in Canyon as can be
found in any town in the state of
its age. The bank expects to
erect a building which will cost
them somewhere in the neigh
borhood of twenty to thirty
thousand dollars, more nearly
the latter.

TO CLEAN THE

SEEK HELP FROM MAR
SHALL COUNTY IN ADJ
VANCING COST FOR
CLEANING LARGE
DRAIN.

County Surveyor Blue and County
Attorney Wood of Warsaw, were in
Plymouth Tuesday consulting with
the officials of Marshall county and
later in the day went to South Bend
and Elkhart where they held consul
tatIons with county officials regarding
the payments to be made for cleaning
out the Joseph s. Armey ditch in all
four counties
The ditch is eighteen miles long
and while the work is being done UNI
der the direction of the Kosciusko
county surveyor, only seven per cent.
of the work is in that county Three
per cent is in Elkhart county, seven
ty-fve per cent. in Marshall county
and the balance in St. Joseph county.
Under the law Kosciusko county
is compelled to advance the costs OF
the work. in anticipation of the col
lection of the assessments from the
individual property owners, but, be-
cause of the very small percentage of
work done in that county and the
large amount of money that will be
required to carry through this job,
it was felt to be desirable that some
financial arrangement be made with
the other counties by which the bur-
den may be lifted from Kosciusko
county.
