FIRE AT GEORGETOWN

A fire which started at o'clock
this morning destroyed the Federal
elevator at Georgetown, one of a line
owned by parties in Minneapolis. The
structure was of about 100000 bushels
capacity and there were about 1000
bushels of grain in storage The loss
is estimated at $4,000 to $4,000 with
partial insurance which is only known
at the head office in Minneapolis.
Georgetown is nearly in the extreme
northwestern corner of the county.

this was again up last evening The
city engineer was instructed to draw
plans for three kinds of paving to be
used on this street and bids will be
advertised for the same.
Alderman Jardine presented a nett
tion from the citizens of the south
side asking that certain sidewalk paw
ing be done in that district, which mat
ter was referred to the street COM
mittee.
The junior alderman from the Fourth
ward presented another petition re-
questing that the council take some
action toward opening a crossing at
the N. PA at Sixteenth street and at
Thirteenth street, as we'll as open up
First avenue out to the Milwaukee
road. This petition was referred to
the city attorney with other officials
who are to take steps to get these
streets opened.
Mayor Lowell then read a contract
which was drawn between the city
and the N. p. Railway Co. in 1906.
which in a measure prohibits the city
from taking any action. The N. P.
offers to build viaduct at Thirteenth
street, according to the contract. and
furthermore the city promised not to
seek to open or maintain any new
streets. However this contract was
made at the time when the N. P.
shops were here and this had a great
deal of bearing on the spirit of the
contract. Alderman Bowers moved
that the mayor and city attorney ne
gotiate to get these streets opened up
across the railroad, which motion pre-
vailed.
The council adjourned to meet again
April 1S, when the reports of the city
school elections will be heard.

the filter plant will have to be be-
yond this sewer. Mr.. Kennedy, who
has had a great deal Of experience in
contract work has called my attention
to the fact that there was a great
danger in running mains parallel with
the river, and we should locate tho
plant without such a possibility aris-
ing. This would in a measure be
against the Early site or the location
of the plant along the N. p. tracks"
The mayor also spoke of the fact
that in time 1t was hoped that a spur
of either the railroad or street car
could be run out to the. plant and
this be used in transporting fuel to
the pumping station and power house.
Alderman Tibert said that he was
opposed to any site until boring had
been made in the ground. He stated
that he believed that the Island park
site should be used as he thought it
would save the city $4,000.
The roll was called on the rescind-
ing of the action taken in locating the
plant in Island park and Aldermen
Tibert and Sonquist gave the only
negative votes.
Alderman Mcdonald made motion
which was seconded lby Alderman
Bowers, that the water committee and
the mayor be appointed to make a
purchase of the entire NM block of
Erskine addition at price not to ex,
.ceed $4,000 and provided that the bor-
ing should be made and the land found
satisfactory.
Alderman Tibert introduced a sub
stitute motion to instruct the commit
tee to secure the lowest possible price
and get the borings of the Early, and
Furthermore to make borings on the
Nm" site. This motion was lost by a
vote OF six to seven.
The roll was then called for Alder
man McDonald's original motion to
purchase the Erskine addition site and
this motion was lost. Those who
voted for 1t were Bowers, Clapp, Fren-
cite, Harrington, Jardine and McDon-
aid. The opposed were Bolene, Cooper.
Green, dollhouse, Sonquist, Stewart
and Tibert.
Tibert then moved that the council
adjourn. but the motion was lost.
Alderman Harrington presented an
offer from the county commissioners,
to either buy from, or sell to, the city
the old detention hospital for the sum
Eof 5000. The property is old and not
of. great value and the council de,
cided to sell the house to the county
for the sum named.
The question OF the rate OF interest

1t must be admitted. however. that the bronze
variety Of turkey not only holds the post OF honor
because of its size and its rich plumage but also.
in the estimation of many epicures because OF its
flavor as well. There is no doubt that the size OF
the bronze variety-ts standard weight ranges
from 16 TO SO pounds-is to be attributed to the
fact that the birds of this family originated from
cross between the wild and the tame turkey.
For that matter. the wild turkey of North Amer

bronze turkey had been developed too much in
the direction Of size and If he can convert the
turkey rasers to his way of thinking may
see some years hence an era of smaller bronze
turkeys of even finer flavor than those regarding
which such enthusiasm has been manifested by
lovers of the good things of life.

and lack of foresight in breeding methods. Not
