THE MAKING OF A CITY
Various Improvements In Progress
In All Directions.

Mrs. Sarah Pardun is making an ex-
tensive betterment and Improvement
lat the rear OF her several properties
in the block on South A street, between
Fifth and Sixth avenues. The work
is done to prevent damageslto property
brought about by the food conditions
that follow every heavy rain. The
natural drainage OF the section, lying
south of First avenue and between
Market and C streets, thet is not cared
for by catch basins and conducted to
the sewers, flows down the alley at the
rear of the Pardun lots in great
stream. When the opening for this
natural waterway was filed UP at
Sixth avenue by the Burlington rail-
way construction, the outlet OF the
surplus surface water was stopped.with
the result that the water is backed up
against the properties and along the
lots in this block to a depth of many
feet. Frequently the rear of the Par
dun lots would be from three to four
feet under water for period OF sew
| eral days, or until the flood waters
were absorbed or evaporated. The
outbuildings on the lots were unfit for
and could not be reached at times
when needed. A great retaining wall
is therefore being constructed by Mrs.
Pardun along the alley on the west line
of the property, distance of about
three hundred feet and about one hun
dred feet on the south side or along
Sixth avenue. The greatest height of
the wall is at the southwest corner
of the property where it will be be-
tween four and five feet above the sur
face of the ground. The wall will
keep out the floods and will act as
garden fence, replacing the board fence
that has stood in it's stead. Outbuild-
ings, storage sheds, coal sheds, closets
and other buildings were removed to
make room for the wall. These cost
Mrs. Pardun between eight hundred
and one thousand dollars, when they
were constructed. All of these build
lings have been removed to be replaced
by only small garbage receptacle.
This Is made possible by the modern
improvements placed in the houses by
Mrs. Pardun. She has added rooms to
the houses and has installed city water
and city heat, bath rooms, lavatories,
and closets, making each one of the
cottages in the block in question
modern property in every way. The
Improvements make great change in
the appearance of the block, and will
be duly appreciated by those residing
in the houses and in that part of the
lefty.

A Fine Garden.

Henry Sonderegger, a well-known
German resident of Oskaloosa, is well
known as an expert gardener. Things
will grow for Henry when they will
grow for no one else. He has the
"knack" of coaxing things out of the
ground. His garden this spring has
been producing radishes and onions
of the best variety and his peas and
beans are far ahead of others we
have seen. His garden place at his
residence, No. 1909 B avenue West
Is about the best looking patch of
ground anywhere in town.

cellence of his remarks.
Ritual Observance.
Following more music by the quar-
tette and the band the ritual program
of the G. A. R. was taken up at the
floral cross and the words of the
officers of the post were closely fol-
lowed by the great crowd and the
firing of the salutes above the graves
of the soldier dead was impressive.
The entire program had been marked
by an intensity of feeling that in
many instances gave way to tears on
the part of both relatives of the. sol
der dead and by the comrades gath
cred about the graves.
The Girls Drill.
A pretty feature of the program,
which concluded the service at the
cemetery, was made possible through
the devoted work of the Womans' Re-
lief Corps. Twenty-six little girls, clad
ia white and uniform dainty white
dresses with red, white and blue
sashes gave very clever drill. They
ranged from eight to fourteen years
of age, did clever work and the drill
was roundly applauded.
