Short-Siahted Man.

We are all shortsighted, and very
often see but one side of a matter;
our views are not extended to all that
has a connection with It. From this
defect think no man is free We see
but in part, and we know but in part.
and therefore 1t is no wonder we con-
clude not right from our partial views.

More Litigation Over bitches

More Litigation Over bitches
Upon an amended petition in
the suit of A. D. Annis, j. w.
Squire and others against the
supervisors of Pottawattamie
and Harrison counties, Judge
Wheeler yesterday issued a
temporary injunction restrain
ing the supervisors of the two
counties, as a drainage board,
from accepting any part of the
three drainage bitches now in
course of construction, and also
from paying any part of the
contract price until a hearing,
which is set for Friday morn
ing in the district court here, is
had.
The suit was originally
brought in Harrison county,
but the hearing for the injunc-
tion will be heard here. The
attorneys representing the
plaintiffs are Harl & Tinley of
this city, G. A. Bolter of Logan
and j. S. Dewell of Missouri
Valley.
In the amended petition it is
set forth that sixty days have
elapsed since the request was
made that the board require
the contractors to complete the
work according to contract, and
that thirty days have elapsed
since suit was brought to ccm-
pei such action. The plaintiffs
allege that they are informed
and believe that the board is
proceeding to consider the mat
ter of accepting the drainage
bitches without having the
ditch known as Willow creek
cleaned and placed in operation
as required by the contract;
that they are informed and be-
lieve that the board is about to
make further payments on the
contracts and to settle in full
without having the work com
pleted.
The plaintiffs also state that
they are informed that the
Western Dredging company
has practically dissolved part
nership, and that none of the
partners, with the exception of
R. S. Morrow, is a resident of
Iowa, and that Morrow is not
financially responsible for ny
damages that might be recov-
cred against him OF The COM

Weather=Crop Bulletin

] Weather=Crop Bulletin
]! Des Moines, Ia, April 20,
i 1908. The conditions durj.agg
the past week have been IN
usually favorable for farm
work and the growth and de-
| velopment of vegetation, there
being an excess of temperature
and sunshines, and suffici MT
moisture for present needs.
The temperature was above
normal in all sections of ,ie
state; the average daily excess
ranging from three degrees in
1.-THE southeastern to about ton
degrees in the northwestern
counties. Freezing tempera-
ture was, however, general on
the morning of the 18th, but
owing to dry atmosphere and
brisk winds, no frost was OBJ
served and no damage was
done. Practically clear weather
prevailed except on the 18th,
When showers occurred in all
sections except Appanoose
county. The rainfall was be-
low the normal, and was ex-
tremely light in eastern, south
ern and southwestern districts,
but over the upper two-thirds
of the Des Moines river valley
and the extreme northwestern
counties the amounts ranged
from so to 1.5O inch.
Farm work has progressed
rapidly under such favorable
conditions, and the seeding Of
small grain is about completed
except in the xsreme northern
counties, and a large acreage
has been plowed for corr.
Oats are up in southern dis
tricts and show fairly good
stand. Winter grains and
clover are in excellent cond:-
ton, and the prospects fer
fruit crops were never better.
Reports indicate that stock is
generally in poor condition in
northern counties where winter
feed was scarce, and that there
will be an average number of
spring pigs.
The month old son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Phillips, who

The remains will be shipped

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Madsen left
this afternoon for Norfolk,
Nebraska, having been called

Madsen, Eds younger brother.
Charles Madsen was about q
years old at the time Of his de-
mise and had been a representa-
tive of Parke, Davis & Com
pany, manufacturing chemists,
for a number of years. At one
time he was employed in this
city in Osborne's drug store.
He was an amiable young man
and had a host of friends who
will be sorry to hear of his
death. The cause of his death
was pneumonia.

not.

Gas Ordinance

Gas Ordinance
AS the election to determine
whether or not Missouri Valley
will have a gas plant will be
held next Tuesday it is impor-
tant that the voters give at
tention to this proposition and
fully understand the same.
While the proposition is usually
referred to as a franchise scme
few have the wrong impression
that it creates some special
privilege or monopoly in behalf
of the Gas Company. This is
not correct. In former years
cities and towns were authoriz-
ed to grant exclusive franchises
to private corporations to put
in Electric Light, Gas or Water
Plants and this could be done
by vote Of the City Council
alone. Later the statute was
amended so that as it is now in
force no exclusive Franchise
shall be granted. The Electric
Light Company can be given
the privilege of establishing a
Gas plant, but the same privi-
lege can be extended to any
other Company or the City
could install its own Gas Plant
at any time. NeitN e the City
nor any individual is required
to patron;ze the Gas Plant nor
to pay any tax in support
thereon. About the only privi-
lege, in fact, extended to the
Gas Company is the right to lay
its mains in the streets and the
right, upon the streets from
time to time, to repair the pipes
or make connections on the
premises in which gas is desir-
ed. In return for this small
privilege the company agrees
to furnish all the lights and
heat for the City Building, in
Guiding the Council Roon, Ii
brary, Jail, Fire Station and
sleeping apartments for the
firemen and for the Water Sta
tion. This, in itself, will
amount to several hundred dol
lars, of which expense the City
will be relieved.
1t will also be noticed that
the Company agrees to increase
, this light and heat service as
the needs of the town require,
from time to time.
On the whole, the City is CIV
ing the Company practically
nothing and, certainly, not in
any way prejudicing the rights
Of the City or the people, and
receiving in return therefore,
heat for the City Buildings
which would amount to about
100000 per year and lights
which, at commercial prices,
would amount to that much
more.
This, in addition to the en-
ployment which will be furnish
ed by the installation Of this
work should induce every citi-
zen who has the good of the
city in mind, to support this
proposition.

Carter, a farmer living near
