house in the residence district Being
of thrifty turn of mind, even though

Silvis will be without a Y. M. c. A.

has refused to equip new and larger

too small and il was proposed to Sc
cure larger quarters in the town Of
Silvis. The railroad company was ap-
piled to for assistance and it was under
stood that it would donate the equip
ment, but since then it has been
learned that nothing is forthcoming,
hence the decision of the management
of the Y. M. c. A. When Secretary

that the work would not be continued

Advisory Board Makes Trip Through

Impression.

Bloomington, Ill, Aug. 21.-Illinois
pies this season in years, according to
the report of the advisory board of the
State Horticultural society after a trip
through the fruit growing counties of
the state, just completed. Professor
r. O. Graham of this city is chairman
of the committee. Other members in
clude c. c. Aldrich, Neoga; j. F. Jolly,

The board was accompanied by Pro

Nearly all of the leading orchards of
the state were inspected, notably
those at. Savoy. Flora, Griggsville, Cen

General Impression Wrong.
In summing up the inspection, Pro
| lessor Graham said: "The impression
appears to be general that there is a
greater than the average crop this
year. This is certainly an error
have just received notice from the Ma
| tional Apple Growers association, of
which | am a member, that there will
be no meeting this year owing to the
discouraging outlook for the apple
crop. This refers to Illinois and the
country at large.
1--WE found six orchards in Illinois
which will have large crops. The
| Winn and Caldwell orchards, near
Griggsville, will raise 10000 barrels,
all of fine quality and in good condi-
ton. The orchards of the late eX-Gov-
ernor Tanner and Dunlaps orchard
near Flora will have about $4,000 bar
rels. The Tanner orchards will raise
500 barrels of pears and 5000 barrels
lof peaches. Our committee examined
no less than 100 orchards and we found
thousands upon thousands of acres of
trees without fruit, and the percent
age of bearing orchards having even
20 per cent crops in the regions Wis.
tied will fall below 90 per cent of the
acreage.

Drive in Sugar HolIow-Property
owners in Sugar Hollow territory,
through which it is proposed to con
struct a macadam pleasure drive, are
signing deeds conveying to the city
the ground necessary for carrying ou1

lay the Sixth ward sewer system with
an outlet at Twelfth avenue, Sugar
Hollow property owners agreed to do
nate the right of way, providing that
the city build passable road through
this ravine. Clark G. Anderson, city
engineer, has completed, blue prints

when the land is dedicated to the city

Using Much Notwithstanding fig.
ures on the consumption of water dur

out by Magnus Olson, engineer at the

average of 100000 gallons of water
was pumped into the mains every 81
hours. This is record breaking coz

were times during the ten days that
the plant was taxed almost to capacity.
During the hours of 5 and a IN
water was pumped into the mains ut
a rate of 100000 gallons per "a
