AN EVENING WITH
THE CITY COUNCIL
City VIII Help to Pay For
Cement Sidewalks.
Passes Two Ordinances and Took
Action Upon Other Matters of
Local Interest.

At the adjourned meeting of the,
city council this week a petition
signed by more than one half of the
voters of the city was presented,
asking the city to pay half the. cost
incurred by property owners in
building cement sidewalks. On
motion of Alderman Knox, action
was deferred for one week. A vote
was taken, however, to ascertain
the sentiment of the board, and all
but one expressed themselves in
favor of the city's standing half the
expense as requested in the petition.
City Attorney Clementson was
asked to prepare an ordinance to
this effect, which will provide that
walks be built only as ordered or
sanctioned by the board, and the
work shall be done under the d1rec-
ton of the board of public works
and approved by them before the
city shall become liable for it's share
Of the expense.
The proposition of Grant County,
through the chairman of the county
board, to pay the city $40 per year
for the use of city water for the
court house and grounds, including
the memorial fountain, was accept
ed. It was also voted that the use
of water in the fountain be at the
discretion of the mayor and that it
be turned on and off by the marshal
at such times as the mayor may
direct.
Two ordinances, which appear.
officially in another column of the,
Herald, were passed by the council.
One provides that the city may re-
ceive and hold in trust donations or
requests, the interest on which shall
be used for taking care of lots in the
cemetery belonging to the person or
estate from whence the bequest or
donation is received This is along
the line of communication upon
the subject contributed by Mr.. Cal
vim to the Herald few weeks ago.
The other ordinance provides for
making the city night Waterman a.
member of the police force and CON-
fering police powers upon him.
On motion of Alderman Treloar it
was voted to appropriate $50 for
Tom Cox Post G A. r., for use up
on Memorial Day.
A petition for the extension of
the city water mains on East Cherry
street was referred to the board of
public works.
Petition for the extension of Adj
ans street was laid on the table for,
one week.
The board of public works recon-
mended the disalIowance of the
claim of w. S. Lathrop, for con-
STRUGGLING sewer. they also reported
the hiring of FRANKIE Behncke as
street commissioner, at 50 per day.
/ Aldermen Abrams and Knox were
appointed a committee to investigate
the matter of the keeping and stand
ing of stations in the city, and to
recommend to the council the proper
course of action.

A STATE FLOWER.
Wisconsin Schools to Vote Upon It's
Selection on Arbor Day.

SeIeCCiOn on ArDOr Lay.
Chas. L.. Harper, who is well
known in Lancaster as a former
principal of our high school and
who at one time was county super
intendent, is the prime mover in an
election to choose a state flower
which will be held on the Arbor
and Bird days of 1908 and 1909.
The voters in this election will be
the pupils of all the high, graded,
parochial and country schools Of
the state. The candidates" are the
following flowers:
Trailing Arbutus, Wild Aster,
Large Blue Flag, Wild Columbine,
Wild Crab Apple Blossom, Golden
Rod, Lady's Slipper, American
Turks cap, Lily, Liverwort (Hepa-
tica,) Marsh Marigold (Cowslip,)
Painted Cup, Pasque Flower, Wild
Rose, Shooting Star, Violet, Wild
Sweet William, Wake Robin (Tril
lium, and White Water Lily.
Mr. Harper is now an assistant
IN the state superintendent office
and happily combines an interest
in school affairs with a love of
nature It was through his efforts
mainly that it was decided to hold
this election and IN the Arbor and
Bird Day annual recently issued
from Supt. Cary's Office, he has the
following to say on the list of
nominees chosen under his direction
and on the election generally:
1T is beIived that the accompany
ing list OF we'll known flowers is
large enough for the purpose of
making a selection The privilege
is accorded however, of voting for
flowers not on the list; that is, to
make individual nominations. 1t
10 proposed that the girls and boys
in all the schools, high graded,
parochial and one one-room country
schools, shall have an opportunity
TO express themselves in making
the choice by vote to be taken on
Arbor and Bird Day, May s, 1908.
ALL PEOPLE MAY VOTE.
Teachers, parents and friends,
who may be present at the arbor
day exercises, should also vote. The
college and normal schools of the
state are also asked to take an ac-
tive interest in this matter. Should
the school, for any reason, not be
in session on Arbor Day, then the
vote may be taken on the day pre-
ceding arbor day, or, if the school
is not then in session on the next
day when school is in session after
arbor day.
The result of the balloting must
be certified to the Office of state
superintendent on or before June 8,
1908. The vote will, however, be
informal. The four flowers which
receive the highest number OF votes
this year are to be voted upon for
inal choice on Arbor Day, 1909.
FINAL BALLOT IN 1909.
Although the ballot on Arbor Day
this year is to be an Informal one,
it is proposed that all teachers shall
interest their pupils in making an
intelligent choice just as much as
they would IN making a choice for
president or for governor. In order
that this may BE brought about, it
is suggested that general discussions
shall be had, and that in cases
where two or more boys and girls
are in favor of the selection of some
one flower and two or more in ia
vor of some other, debates shall be
arranged for in which the contest
ants shall have an opportunity to
champion the beauties and virtues
of their particular CHOICE.

Chat our earlier estimate of 200 miles as the
distance of the storm-centre at it's nearest to
81. Oroix is too hight can hardly in any case
have exceeded 100 miles, and was perhaps
somewhat less.
The speed of the storms forward move
ment was great, If we accept 2 p. m.
on the 9th as tho time when the centre was
nearest the ship and 2 n. IN. on the
10th as The time when it was nearest
st. Croix, then the centre had travelled
forward about 260 miles in II hours.
which gives Hs a speed of nearly % miles
IN hour. No wond err then that it reached
Turks Island on tho night of the 10th. In
this respect, as in some others, the recent
storm contrasts with that of September 1906,
which moved forward ut only about S miles
an hour.
It is too soon to make anything out of the
subse quent. course of the cyclone. Storm
reports are coming III from all sides, and we
believe that it will ultimately be found that
we have not one cyclone to deal with,
but three, : following each other, two of
which originated in the Atlantic and
one in the Caribbean. Whether this were
10 or not, must be left to later and
clearer evidence to decide.
Some Of us in the Danish Islands have
relatives or friends who went to New York
ON The last trip of the Parma, and, after
reading Of their terrible experiences on the
voyage, we ought to rejoice and be deeply
thankful when we realize that they are now
oil safe on land. From the telegram it is
clear that the injuries referred to were slight,
and. beyond the severe nervous strain, no
harm has been done. 1t might have been
otherwise.
The Guiana arrived ut Frederiksted on
Monday morning aud left for Now York via
St. Thomas about half past twelve. The
recent cyclones have now passed from the
track between these islands and New York,
and the indications here are all good, no
new cyclones being in sight, either in the
Atlantic or the Caribbean, so that it is pref
~ safe to predict for the vessel q fair voy-
age throughout.

BIG REALTY SALE

A real estate transfer of import
ance was that made Monday by tn,
Columbia Arms Investment Com.
pany to M. l.. Holbrook The deal
covers tract of 7IK acres of land
at Smiths crossing, rear St. Johns.
The consideration was 500, 600. The
land in question is portion of the
Ioo-acre tract purchased by William
Killingsworth and associates last
January for the sum Of SOS, 900. 90.
Their profit amounts TO $4,000 90,
aud they still retain approximately
one-fourth OF the acreage. The sale
is considered a significant one as it
shows the increasing values of real
estate OH the Peninsula.
The tract is located at Smith $
crossing, near where the st. Johns
car line crosses the Spokane. Port
land q Seattle track. Mr.. Holbrook
intends to cut the property up into
city lots. Streets are to be graded,
water mains laid and sidewalks put
in, as is being done in other sub
urban districts. Fessenden street,
which extends through the proper
ty is to be widened and paved, in
conjunction with the property own
ers along the same highway.
The Columbia Arms Company
retains the remainder of the 100
acre tract which extends from the
o. r. & N.to the Columbia slough.
The deal was manipulated by X.
G. Brand and is one OF the best of
the many good deals he made during
the two years he has been operat-
ing as broker at Maegley juno
ton. Mr.. Brand is one of the
livest, most progressive realty men
OH the Peninsula.

Note the Isbsl on your paper.

A fire broke out at the home Of
A. w. Markle on South Ivanhoe
Tuesday morning about II o'clock.
The FIRE boys were at the scene
within ten minutes after the alarm
was turned in. and with their usual
celebrity quickly subdued the flames.
The fire apparently started from a
defective hue aud the damage from
FIRE and water will likely reach be-
tween $500 and $500. Had the
chemical engine carriage not brok-
en- down on the way the loss no
doubt would have been appreciably
less. An unfortunate feature was
