Wanting to know who vas to blame
for the long delay OF the South Third
avenue viaduct project. w. 8. Ketchum.
OF the state railroad commission: r.
w. McCreery, of the Western Grocer
Mills; and E. H. Draper. Of the West
ern Grocer Company. carrying sheaves
OF correspondence on the subject, called
on the city council Thursday afternoon.
The council denied that it is to blame
and produced the proof.
1t has been waiting for the Iowa
Railway and Light Company to accept
in writing the viaduct ordinance. The
steam railroads, the Northwestern, and
NJ. & st. L. have done so.
Railroads Deny Delay.
The correspondence that McCreery.
Draper and Ketchum, brought along
were mostly from the railroad COM
panies. Each Of these denied it was
the cause Of the delay. It developed
that the delay was the result of a
combination Of causes.
To remove these an attempt is to be
made to get the engineers and lawyers
Of the railroads and street car COM
pany into conference : in this city.
Among them, it is apparent, is the
cause of the lack of progress toward
the building of the viaduct. Mayor
Mil1ard and Mr.. McCreery will both
write all concerned and attempt to ar
range conference for Tuesday. Jan.
20, in this city.
Wants Specifications Changed.
While it has been presumed all along
that all the roads interested were
agreed regarding the viaduct and that
the plan that is a part of the ordinance
was all that all interested required. it
appears now that the understanding of
the roads is not in agreement and that
the ordinance may be amended.
The Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany has not accepted the ordinance.
The reason it has not, according. to
John Reed. its lawyer, is because the
viaduct provided for by the ordinance
is not strong enough to carry inter-
urban traffic. The plan prepared by
the railroads, and accepted by them.
the city. and the railroad commission,
provided for a viaduct strong enough
to carry "class B loading" of Cooper's
bridge specifications. These specifi-
cations provide for strength sufficient
to carry ordinary city street railway
cars and traffic, but not strong enough
to carry interurban cars and their
loading That w6Ss. 1.-THE explaHhtton
made by Mr.. Reed as to why his COM
pany had not accepted the ordinance.
Was Agreed to Orally.
He wrote that If the ordinance was
changed to provide for viaduct strong
enough to carry interurban traffic that
his company would at once accept it.
He denied that his company was hold
ing up the Xiaduct project.
a. ]. G. Davi9, OF Des Moines, attorney
for the Northwestern, wrote denying
that his company was causing the de-
lay. 1t was ready to build, as was
evidenced by its acceptance of the
ordinance, he wrote. It was his under
standing that Mr.. Findley. the North
western engineer. and Mr.. Kenly, the
M. & st. L. engineer, had both agreed
to build a viaduct strong enough for
interurban traffic. The M. & st. L. has
also expressed willingness to proceed
by accepting the ordinance. 1t is the
distinct recollection of those who at
tended the numerous conferences held

HINTS FOR HOSTESS
SOME NEW AND PRETTY WAYS
or SERVING ASPARAGUS.
Devised by the Most Famous Restau-
rant Chefs, They Are Easily
Copied and Win Be Appreei-
ated by the Guests.

New ways of serving asparagus are
always welcome. Most OF the novel
ties devised by restaurant chefs are
quite possible for the home caterer.
For instance, suggests the New York
Times, plain boiled asparagus on toast
was made TO have a very different APP
pearance at a recent private dinner
served at restaurant by having the
slices Of toast cut in oblongs exactly
corresponding in length to the selected
stalks. The bread for this toast was
cut from side to side Seven or eight
stalks of boiled asparagus were then
slipped through a ring stamped out
from an extra piece of toast, which,
when arranged on the oblong slice of
toast as foundation, constituted a
single portion.
The novelty of this arrangement lay
in the fact that when each bundle of
asparagus was in place on it's oblong
of toast the toasted ring holding the
stalks gave the appearance of the bale
Of basket in which the green stalks
rested. The tips were masked with
Hollandaise sauce.
More simple was the arrangement
at another luncheon, where the aspara-
gus stalks were slipped through ring
cut from large green pepper, and
rested directly on the plate, instead of
on toast. Melted butter, with finely
chopped parsley, was poured over the
tips. This idea can be carried out
either as a hot entree or as a salad in
the latter case, the asparagus being
Ice cold, serve sauce vinaigrette or
plain French dressing, as preferred
Another unusual method of serving
asparagus tips was seen at a restau-
rant noted for it's dainty service and
combined small fresh tomatoes and as
paragus tips. The tomato was par
boiled and a sufficiently large cavity
made to hold seven or eight short
stalks of asparagus upright They pro-
jected some distance above the rim of
the tomato and around the stalks was
poured rich Hollandaise sauce. This
sauce was below the rim of the to-
mato, 80 that it's presence was not dis
covered until the usual vegetable com
bination was attacked.
Somewhat similar is an asparagus
and tomato salad, the asparagus stalks
standing upright in the tomato cup,
with rim of stiff mayonnaise piped
around just outside the stalks.
Both arrangements have been car
ried out, substituting a green pepper
shell for the tomato, with equally good
results, both as to appearance and
flavor AS asparagus is almost in
variably served as a separate course
the attractive arrangement shows to
good advantage.

Little Francis was not to be fooled

The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fiercely be-
tween the heavy, inoessant rolling

Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling. There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air, water
the flowers, and make it cooler for us.
Now, don't cry. dear; it won't harm
you, and everything will be better
when it's over"
