FICKEL FOR SHERIFF.

We take pleasure to present the
name of Hiram L. Fickel of this city,
who is a candidate for sheriff on the
progressive ticket in Polk county. He
is now the present deputy and by
experience would be well qualified.
He is Spanish-American war vet
eran, who served his country we'll.
Mr.. Fickel has been both surprised
and pleased at the number who have
voluntarily come to his aid in this,
his first candidacy for public Office.
A long time resident in Des Moines
and a man who tries to live by the
golden rule, he had expected to find
a large number Of friends interested
in his campaign, but he was not pre-
pared for the reception which actual
ly awaited him. From all walks of
life have come offers Of friendship and
assistance and as result working
organization has been effected which
it is believed will produce the neces-
sary votes to make him sheriff of
Polk county for the next two years.
He is well liked by the colored
boys and ne asks their support and
will treat them right.

JUDGE HEWITT.

When the governor appointed Judge
Hewitt to preside over the newly Gre
ated fifth court for Polk county, the
selection was universally commended.
No just criticism has been offered
in the campaign that is to determine
his successor. He has been diligent,
he has presided with dignity and i'm
partially, he has taken the greatest
care to acquaint himself with the
Inc - of every controversy.
There Is not the slightest doubt
Of his election. But it is well that
cvely voler should have his name
in mind and go to the polls fully
aware that there is an opposing can
didate and that considerable effort
is being made in Mr.. Pugh's behalf.

WOULD CLEAR MAIN Street
OF TEAM CONGESTION
City Trustees Pass Ordinance to This
Effect and Will Provide Hitch
inc Places on Side Streets

With the constantly increasing traf-
fc on Main street. this city for some
time past has found that the cOnges-
ton OF teams in the very center OF
its business district has been a great
Inconvenience to people coming in
from the country districts and TO the
merchants in handling their deliveries
OF goods and discharges Of incoming
fTeights
Some time ago a movement was
started by Street superintendent
Swanson TO provide hitching places
on the side streets to relieve this con-
gestion, and people driving in from
the country took so kindly to this in
noyati0n that it has been decided to
extend the system and to prohibit the
tyihg OF teams on Main street in the
business center.
This is intended to work no hard
ship on any one, but as a general con-
venience and means of safety from
gunaways in a crowded thOrOughfare.
The city VIII extend its system Of
hitchiEg racks on the side streets so
that there will be ample room for all
teams in a district where there is
much less danger of horses becoming
frightened.
This ordinance was passed at the
meeting of the city trustees last night
and becomes effective immediately.

SUGGESTED SOLUTION FOR
CITY'S SEWER TROUBLES
Proposal That Ell Centro and Imperial
Unite in Constructing Outfall
to New River Gorge

FL Centre and Imperial each have
problems to solve in the proper han
ding of the cities sewage. The slight
fall to the sewer farm from the sep
tic tank at Ell Centro causes trouble,
and Imperial has similar difficulties.
Ell Centro at the present time has
pumps at work on its outfall sewer,
and this process may have to con-
tinue.
Various solutions of the difficulty
have been discussed. but the one that
seems to be the most practicable is
the joint construction by the two cities
of an outfall sewer northerly to New
river gorge, which would provide an
ample fall for the sewage of both
cities
Engineer |. B. Funk of Imperial has
taken up the subject with members
of the Ell Centre board of trustees and
other Imperial men have given favor
able consideration to the plan. 1t is
possible that the future will. bring
about this solution of the problem.
From Ell Centre to the point of
discharge proposed on New river is
about ten and one half miles. There
is a fall of ten feet between FL Centro
and Imperial and six feet from Impe-
rial to the river, thus giving FL Cen
tro the benefit of a siXteen-foOt fall
to the river, where there is drop
of sufficient depth to always provide
ample drainage.
The plan proposed by Engineer
Funk would provide for the placing of
a septic tank on the main sewer to
the north of Ell Centro and one for
the Imperial sewage north of Impe-
rial
