will lose no time in starting the work.
Bids for work on the South Side
Canal were all rejected.
Conrad Independent: Whether it is
because there is more grain in this
year than heretofore, or some other
reason, is is very evident that there
are twice as many gophers this season
than there ever has been, and unless
some drastic measure is taken to ex-
termina ate this pest, much damage will
result to the crops. The pesky a
minis are as thick as flies around q
molasses barrel, and already their per.
~nicious activities are beginning to tell
on the grain fields along the roads.
