adopted the plan of placing curbing
in front of their property so as to
form and protect the lawn lying out

the city would soon take on an ad-
ditional beauty, attracting the adj

Eight Hours for British Miners.

London, July 1.-The law limit
ing the workday for miners to eight
hours came into operation today.
The passage of the measure was a
notable victory for the miners or
~ganization. 1t was strongly opposed
by the mine owners, who argued that
it would mean a serious limitation
of output, and would consequently
react on not only the British man
luIfacturing industries, but further
would be a serious blow to British
shipping interests.

DRAINAGE NEWS
DRAINAGE BOARD MET IN THIS
CITY WEDNESDAY
Dredges Arc Being Built And The
Work Pushed as Rapidly
As Possible

At a meeting of the Drainage
board held in this city during the
week Ely Colfey was chosen to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Fred Wittwer.
The drainage board have under
advisement the proposition OF
eliminating 1000 acres from the
district at the mouth of the river
and releasing the same from as
sessments because of pending liti"
cation over the matter. This will
stop the mprovements at point
three miles up from the mouth of
the Nemaha river.
Contractors are now busy haul
ing material to the Miles bridge
on Sonth Fork, where they will
erect large dredge with a two
and one half yard dipper. The
purpose OF this Is to proceed down
stream to the Coon bridge on the
Salem and Falls City township
lines, at which place this dredge
will be dismantled and carried
to Dawson, where it will be re-
built to do the work on North
Fork.
A large dredge is being built at
the Coon bridge for the purpose
of proceeding down stream to the
lower end of the district. A
smaller dredge with a one-yard
dipper is being built one-half
mile north of the Salem depot,
which is almost ready to be mount
ed with machinery, for the pur-
pose of building the latterals
about one and one-half miles in
length. This will afterward be
dismantled and used in the con-
struction Of all other lateral work.
1t will be brought to this place
first providing the right of way
can be secured.

tural department at Washington
gave a most interesting and in.
structing address on corn and
potatoes. He gave the results
of many experiments in corn
raising that will prove Of great
value To his hearers. One thing
he said came as a great surprise
to his audience. He told of -
experiments tried in l. states in
soil tillage. The experiment
consisted of taking three fields
of corn, in one of which the
weeds were permitted to grow
unmolested, in one the weeds
were cut off without stirring the
soil and in the third the soil
was we'll cultivated. In II e
weedy field the corn grew about
{ bushels to the acre, in the well
cultivated field the corn grew
about 20 bushels and in the field
where the weeds were Just
scraped off and the soil not stir
red, in every one of the % ex-
periments, the yield was larger
than in the other fields.
Prof Warner gave a very In-
structive talk on alfalfa. He
spoke of the futility of trying to
raise alfalfa on soil that was in
noculated. II e advised that
every one contemplating sowing
alfalfa should spread about 200
pounds of earth taken from a
successful alfalfa field to the
acre.
The good roads expert was
confined in his remarks to a few
minutes time as he was COM
PEELED to take the 4 o'clock
train. His talk was interesting
and contained much that will
prove beneficial.
