ial. Fred Grandon, a hunter
here, while out along the Mis-
souri, river a couple of days
ago, shot and killed a wild goose
which bore a message of untold
wealth, a story of sickness, and
the abandonment of hope.
A large flock of geese were
flying low and in passing over
the blind where Grandon was
secreted, he aimed at the leader
and brought him down. To his
surprise, when Grandon reach.

small oil cloth wallet fastened
around its neck by a thin cop

frankie and / made a trip
down into China Town, one os
the greatest sights of New
York City, on our way down We
stopped at SOL Broadway to see
a cannon that was captured
from the English in 1881 at
Yorktown; (which Lord Cornwall
lis surrendered to Washington.
1t is one of the old smooth bore
kind of cannons used in those
days, and sure don't look like
one of the modern guns of war
of the present day. While out
on this walk we went up Broom
street, half block from Broad
way and it looked queer to see
the family washings hanging
out in front of the buildings,
only half a block away from the
finest street in the world.
1t showed that in this city, the
line of demarkation between
the richest street in the world
and one block away the tene-
ment houses where proverty
reigns supreme. After leav-
ing Broadway we went down
on to Hester street, a typical
Jew street of the city. Here
the average life Of the city Jew
can be seen in all its glory.
Every door had a man out in
front of it and every one In
vited you in to buy a suit of
clothes, or a pair of shoes.
It shows the average Jew of
New York to the best advant-
age. After leaving Hester St.,

Why Not Pave Erie Street

Why Not Pave Erie Street
The following taken from the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil is
flood for thought for our pres
''ent Progressive Council: The
city council of Red Oak is al
ready considering the matter
of additional paving next
spring. A meeting was held
this week at which the subject
was discussed. The represen-
tative of an asphalt company
was present and gave the mem
bers present some information
about his proposition for paw
ing. The kind of street recon-
mended by the gentleman is
constructed with a concrete
base of five inches. On top of
this is placed a three inch
wearing surface" composed of
Sioux Falls Granite and a mix
ture of asphalt, the latter sub
stance being heated and poured
on the crushed granite. Then
the road is rolled so as to make
it smooth and firm. This sort
of a street could be put down
for $l.35 to S1.5O per square
yard. Another method for
making the same kind of a
street is to not only heat the
asphalt, but the rock also.
This he said would increase the
cost Of the work Csc per square
yard, but he did not consider
it worth the difference. The
councilmen did not feel dispos-
ed to consume to much time or
make any definate plans, be-
cause of the absence of two
members, but it was decided to
;all a special meeting on Satur-
day, Dec. II, at which time the
natter will be taken up in
.arnest. Of course we know
he Getty Daddies" of this city
ire afraid to come out after
lark at the present. What
would be the outcome if they
were to consider paving?
Don't mistake us We don't
mean to start and pave imme-
diately after the holidays but
just get a few figures and have
some idea what it will cost
when ready.
We feel it is our duty to give
the present city council a few
words of praise for the many
public improvements they have
put through while in office.
One councilman said the other
day, "why if l was to run for
office again | wouldn't make
first base" Suppose he didn't,
che certainly would have the
satisfaction of knowing he did
something while in office"
when that fellow who has been
kicking about the sewerage
system sells his property for
three hundred dollars more
than he expected, he will quit
kicking about that subject and
kick about something else. Its
funny, "its most always the
fellow who hasn't any property
THAT does the kicking" All
the other Improvements were
discussed in much the same
way but it finally works out fol
the best and we don't think
many fair minded men hold il
in very strong for any Of the
present councilmen.
Lets abide by what they have
already done and if things don't
come out as they should we will
all kick together. Our only
hope is, when the next spring
election rolls around that the
citizens of Missouri Valley will
elect a council equally as good

of this city. The day was
somewhat cold, and in front of
each Italian store was the deal
er huddled over a peculiar shap
ed bucket containing a char
coal fire, AS they are not able
to do business by staying in
their store, they build a fire in
their buckets and go out on tho
street and watch for customers
1t is surely a peculiar part of
this great city. From Null.
berry street we went over to
Mott street and Chatam street,
these two streets are the Chin
csc streets. AS we passed
along the street frankie re-
marked that there was going
to be trouble in this street
that night,as at each door a big
Chinaman stood at the front Of
the door as if waiting for some
one. When the policemen see
the Cinnamon standing around
this way they know that troub-
lie is brewing between the Long
longs and the Tro Brothers
factions, and sure enough tia
Evening the trouble came and
half dozen or more of The
Cinnamon passed over to the
HAPPY hunting grounds. Can't
say wewould like to live onMott
street as a permanent thing
Two blocks up Worth street is
The Tombs, the celebrated pri-
son of this city. There is a
building on each side of the
street one the prison and the
other the court. The buildings
are joined by a covered bridge,
called the Bridge of Signs. :"
When a prisoner is convicted
in the court room on one side of
the street he is sent across the
Bridge of Signs" into the
tombs and none ever escape
from there.
We next come to a fine noble
building on the corner of La
Fayette street and frankie in
formed us that it belongs to the
Italian n at ion and is kept
here as a beraeu of information
for the Italian emigrants. Any
Italian emigrant coming in this
country can go TO this building
and he is sure to find the kind
est and best treatment and is
given any information he may
want to know. 1t is surely a
great thing for the Italian emf
grants. After leaving this
part of the city We went down
on Broadway to the Battery,
and as a snow storm was raging
we had the unique privilege of
seelng great city in a blizzard
A blizzard is bad enough in Mo.
Valley but when it comes to a
city like New York it is some
thing fierce. We think the
greatest sufferers, however,
are the poor dray horses. The
way they are abused here is
enough to make the blood of a
lWesterner boil.f a driver inMo
Valley would use his horses like
some of the fellows here do, he
would be taken up before May
or Amen in four minutes and
fined. A city like New York is
all right for those who want to
live here, but it is too many for
us, and we will "cut for the tall
grass" country tomorrow O,
next day, and will soon be in
the Valley where we can smoke
a cob pipe on the street if we
want to, and where a man is
recognized as a human being in
fact where the human traits Of
humanity are given at least
half a show, and mans inhum,
inaty to man is not so much in
evidence as it is in this city
We hope to be home Sunday.
