WHY NOT?

Wnlle considerable improve
ment is going on in Burns at pre-
sent it appears that there mus
be certain steps taken toward
water works and a sewer system
before any great improvement
can be expected. This has beer
q great drawback for the past
few years and one that has beer
considered many times. Burns
should have these improvements
but peculiar conditions have pre-
vented their fulfllment up to this
time. Several estimates haye
been made as to the cost of in
stalling water and sewer and it
has been estimated the most fea-
sible and economic from the ini-
tial cost of such an undertaking
as a pumping system. There has
never been vote taken on the
proposition of bonding the city
for such improvement but it is
the opinion of many that now is
an opportune time for such an
election to be called, especially
as it is understood that there are
bonding houses who have signif-
ed their willingness to buy Burns
bonds.
Needed business enterprises are
held up on account Of lack of
water and sewer; the town will
not build as it would without such
and the business men and pro-
perty owners seem willing to !
vote bonds and undertake this
Improvement. Why not do it?
Every man in town will admit it
Is the most necessary thing to
the advancement of the city, yet
there is a disposition to wait.
What for? The railroad is not
rushing in at so rapid a rate as
to make that any hindrance, even
though we expect to have quite
an expense to bring the line to
this place. Every property own
er in Burns fully expects to do
his share toward the railroad
when the time comes but in the
meantime let us go ahead. Frank
Johnson of the Colonization Co.
has recently found fine spring
within a reasonable distance of
Burns that will supply all the !
water necessary for the city and :
lis company will gladly turn it :
'ver to the town for this purpose a
I the citizens of Burns find it .
o their advantage to put in a :, =
,ravity system rather than a
plant. Lets get togeth-
r with the councilmen and dis c.
uss this matter. Let Burns be a.
unit for once in the history of m
he place and see what really Il
an be done under such circum- h

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrboea Remedy.

Every family without excep-
ton should keep this preparation
at hand during the hot weather
of the summer months. Cham
berlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy is worth many
times its cost when needed and
is almost certain to be needed
before the summer is over. It
has no superior for the purpose
for which it is intended. Buy il

WATER TANK BURSTS.
NJ. q ST. L. Railroad Has Heavy Loss
at Sheffield,

Sheffield, July 17--Suddenly collaps-
ing, when the iron hoops circling the
sides bursted. $4,000 gallons of water
poured a crushing weight from the
| railway water tank OF the Minneapolis
& ST Louis here, an empty freight car,
standing on siding under the eyes Of
the big reservoir received the heaNy
impact on one side. The car was dashed
to splinters and thrown buGily from
the track
The accident happened at 8 p. m. on
, Wednesday nieht. No one was near
the tank at the time so the report
contains no casualties. The station
agent heard few SHARP cracks. FOL
lowed by heavy jwishing sound, re-
sembling the 6ownpour from cloud
burst. Rushing ,utssi1e. he saw the
wrecked car laying tn one side of the
track and volumes OF water running IN
, all directions
The tank is sixteen feet high With a
diameter Of tWenty-fou- feet. and
stands on posts imbedded In the
grounds. The cone sshaped top sank
easily with the suddenly receding Of
the water and rests on the bottom
/ platform intact.
The side panels few in all directions
when the collapse came. The railway
men consider ii extremely fortunate
that no one hoppened to be near as one
of the flying slaves or wave OF the
heavy water striking a human being
would have proved fatal
Another queer freak of the accident
was the result Of the fall " water en-
tina ground circling the ank
The force of 1t can be readily under
stood. Describing in large circle an
exact parallel of the rim OF the tank
a trench three feet deep was dug i!

The power behind the impact is o
problem for students of physics. That
it was phenomenal is no matter OF con

What is probably the largest cat-f fish
ever taken from the Des Moines river
at Ottumwa, is now on display in the
window Of the Fletcher market, 80

dam by William Albertson and weighs

Hamburg.
Dick Brown has just completed
threshing his twenty acre field OF
wheat, which yielded SO bushels. AT
the time OF the Hessian fly scare his
field was said to be of little use, as
the flies had gotten in their work, Mr..
Brown commenced to plow up the
wheat, but something told him to just
let it alone, which he did. AS result.
he is just 576 bushels Of wheat ahead.
Fairfield.
Thru the explosion of a film in the
Fairfield theater. on East Broadway,
Wednesday evening. damage to the
amount of $500 was done to the picture
apparatus. The flames were confined
to the operators cage. The accident
occurred after the audience had been
dismissed for the night, and there was
no one in the building but employees.
1t will probably be week before busi-
ness can be resumed. The loss is
partially covered by insurance.
Iowa City.
A noteworthy increase in the re-
ceipts of the Iowa City postoffice is
shown by the report for the fiscal year
closed July 1. During the year from
July /. 1913, to July 1, 1914, the re-
ceipts totaled $6,913.95 more than for
the previous year. Total receipts for

A tank of gasolene caused a wreck
upon the Milwaukee early Monday
morning. as freight No. II was making
it's way northward just this side of
Winkelman's switch. Some flaw In the
trucks caused the tank to leave the
rails, carrying with 1t Ave or six cars
on the rear end Of the train. The ac-
cident occurred about 1880 o'clock, the
tank turning completely over in the
ditch. For several hours the gasolene
poured from broken places in the tank,
and tricKled away down the gutter. A
wrecking crew was on the job soon,
and by eleven o'clock traffic had beeIa
opened once more. The old saying tha4

WILL FIGHT PAVING LAW.
Owners Of Sioux City Property Not
Abuttino Will Oppose PAVING Tax.

ownsrs Of Sioux City Property Not
Auditing Will Oppose Paving Tax.
Sioux City, July 17.-AproXimately
$33.600 Of assessments for paving i'm
provements this season will be con-
tested by property owners, according to
figures unofficially compiled at the city
hall Thursday. The adjacent proper
ty tax law" In effect this year is the
cause Of the difficulty.
Eight miles Of paving has been laid
and in every block owners of property
! adjacent but not abutting on the i'm
proN,msnts, have been assessed as re-
ceiving from SOS to S113 benefit from
the Improvement. An average Of at
least four property owners in each
block are protesting vigorously against
the payment Of tax, which was
dropped on them SO unexpectedly and
which they regard as unjust.
On the return of Councilman f. O..
Wesley from a vacation trip the coun-
Gil will hold special meeting to hear
protests
the benefits to property abutting and
adjacent has become exceedingly UNI
popular in property owning circles.
CHO no one mas suggested SdlISldC-
tory substitute. Abutting property is
assessed one-half Of the cost of the
paving: the property adjoining the
abutting property Is assessed two
sixths of the cost and the next prop
erty Is assessed one sixth
Owners Of the property that does not
abutt on the improvement deny that
they will benefit to the extent of the
assessments made. Many complain
that they paid for street pavement in
front Of their homes without assist
ance from adjacent owners, and they
don't care to help others.
