dozen communications were read in
relation to this vexed matter. all stat
ing that the writer's would hold the
city responsible, and all were merely
placed on file, While the city Is os-
tensibly holding absolutely aloof
from all interference or direct aid in
the Irving matter, as being merely d
private matter in which the city can
legally take no part, nevertheless
claims were presented last night and
allowed for labor done on the slide

EIGHTH STREET.

Just before adjournment Council
man Logan also brought up the ques-
ton Of the injury done to 9Th street
by the hauling recently done over it,
He suggested that the council should
take some immediate steps to pro-
tect improved streets in the future,
against the careless or wanton harm
done by contractors or others The
recently improved block on Sth street

Gilman Logan suggested that it might
be possible to arrange to have CON
tractors place down old planking

practical nature and to meet with
favor. DR. Logan also stated that
residents on Grand avenue in the
locality of 30th street want certain

Minneota Mascot: The Y. M. c..
A. camp at Lake Shetek broke up
last Wednesday and the boys return
ed to their several homes. There
were forty-seven boys in the camp
and to say that each one of them
had ''big time" is to express mild
ly the way the boys feel about it.
Ten days Of camp life in a crowd of
fifty is pastime which will appeal
to any boy. It appears that this
camp was we'll managed and the
safety and comfort of the boys care
fully studied by the men who had
the thing in charge. Ball playing
boat riding, swimming, various ath-
letics and in the evenings a roaring
campfire were some of the principal
things with which the boys busted
themselves. The story of the Indian
massacre at Lake Shetek, which
took place in 1862 was told by Mr..
Haig at the camp-fres and it is
needless to say that boys were thor
oughly interested. The old log cabin
in which II white people were killed
by the Indians at this time is still
standing and is now historic relic
which few first-time visitors to Lake
Shetek miss seeing. Taken as a
whole this outing was a red letter
day in the lives of the boys who en-
joyed it and we feel certain that it
will not be difficult to get together
bunch of boys next year.

Outlook for Cattle Show at Minnesota
State Fair is Better Than Ever.

Never was the Shorthorn business
in better condition, and never the
prospects for the big showing of
Shorthorns at the Minnesota State
Fair, Aug. 31st to Sept. 9Th, better
than they are this year. according
to B. O. Cowan. assistant secretary
of the American Shorthorn Breeders
association.
Mr.. Cowan has spent all but fif-
teen of his fifty-six years in the
Shorthorn business, and his present
position brings him in touch with the
Shorthorn breeders, especially in the
Middle West. He called at the Min
nesota State Fair grounds recently
to express the belief that this years
showing Of Shorthorns would excel
any previous effort upon the part of
the Shorthorn breeders for this re-
gion.
Among the prominent Shorthorn
breeders who are scheduled to show
the best specimens of their herds at

Fairy Tales About North Yakima.

Everybody who has talked with
North Yakima people knows that
electrical storms are unheard of in
that locality, and that the tempera-
ture never rises there above a genial
warmth. And yet the evening.Jour-
nal of the 21st contains a couple of
kilograms calculated to convey
wrong impression to the favored
town. Here is the story of a thunder
storm bearing date from North
Yakima, Wash:
&C. M. Harrington, rancher near
here, was struck by lightning and
partly paralyzed. Harrington stood
6 feet 5 inches in height, and as he
was the only one hit in the family
group as it was watching the storm
it is presumed his stature was re-
sponsible for the stroke. In the
same storm milkhouse on the ranch
was struck by lightning. 1t caught
fire and would have been destroyed
but for a peculiar accident. Imme-
diately after the milkhouse was hit.
another bolt struck the big water
tank and a hundred tons of water
rushed down the bank and, flooding
the milkhouse. put out the fire."
And here is SANDER dated from
Spokane: ''Parishioners of North
Yakima were taken by surprise
when all the towns ministers ap-
peared in their pulpits Sunday even
ing in their shirt sleeves and deliver
ed their sermons in apparent COM
fort. With the mercury standing at
1O3 in the shade, the enterprising
preachers held meeting on Satur-
day and agreed to doff the conven-
tional black coat for a cooler method
unless cool wave came on Sunday.
The male members Of the congrega-
ton Immediately followed the
preachers lead aud DOTTED their un-
comfortable coats"
