Municipal improvements.

Two of the most impcrta moves in
municipal improvements in Topeka
this spring come up before the board
of city commissioners at their meet
ing this afternoon. Two resolutions
providing for the recurbing and regut-
tering of Kansas avenue from First to
Tenth avenues and the construction of
a three-mile sewer. taking in all of the
western part of the city. have been
presented to the board by Commits
sioner Tandy.
After the resolutions are passed a
certain time is set aside by law to give
the property owners chance to reg
lister their objections Then plans are
made and the contract is let for the
work. 1t is figured that the entire
work will be completed before the
snow flies.
The cost of these two big municipal
Improvement items can not be deter
mined by the city commissioners at
this time. But it is figured that they
owners will raise no complaint.
The west side sewer has been a de-
sired improvement for some time.
This sewer will begin west of College
avenue at Seventeenth street and ex-
tend to the river. It's course will ac-

Topeka from the college, down
through Elmhurst, west of Morris ave-
nue. and east of the state insane asy-
lum until it reaches the river.
All of this district has been built up
in the last few years and the future
of the Improvement has been depend
ing upon the construction of a. sewer.
Now that the sewer is practically as
sured West Topeka will grow lin a
single night''-like other sections in
this part of the city hav9 grown in
the last three years.
The specifications of the new sewer
have not been determined.
The recurbing and reguttering of
Kansas avenue will add greatly to the
looks of this main business street of
the city. The cutters and curbs will
be made of cement
All along Kansas avenue the old
time stone curbings are crumblfng
away. In some places where new
buildings have been constructed the
cement curb has been built.
Since the white way on Kansas

All of the commissioners agree that
the above mentioned improvements
are needed in Topeka. There will be
no objection to the resolutions pre-
scented by Commissioner Tandy this
afternoon.

says that Minnesota is wonderful
Estate and is coming into public notice
faster than any other state in the
Union
The writer, as an experiment, SOW
led some timothy, redtop and alsyke
clover on a three and One-half acre
tract of burned-over land. A part of
it was redtop and clover mixed and
the other part mixture of timothy.
The former was sown about the last
day of May and the latter on the 9th
day Of June. The land, on which the
sod had been burned of to depth Of
from two to six inches, was narrowed
twice over with a spring-tooth har-
row. The part sown to redtop and
clover was lightly narrowed after be-
ing sown, while the timothy part was
sown just before rain and was not
touched after sowing. It appears that
every seed sown must have germin-
lated, as the redtop is really too thick
and has lodged. The timothy has
made growth of from two to two and
half feet, is all headed out and will
probably make from three quarters of
a ton to ton OF hay per acre, which
considering the facts stated above is
something remarkable and is an ex-
ample Of what can be done with the
Turnout places all over the country.
