Street Commissioner
Miles Makes Report

Street Commissioner Miles made
a report Monday morning regard
ing the city opening up Third street
east from Nebraska avenue for
three blocks.
The people who own the prop
erty that is to be opened UP for a
street, with the exception or one
party who will be content with
$50, want 5000 for each side of
the street. and as there are three
blouRs to cut through 1t would
mean an outlay of 81, $50.
Commissioner Miles in his report
recommended that the city pay
only 800 for each side OF the first
oiock and $40 for each side OF the
second and third blocks, dnd'tfat
if the property owners were not
satisfied with that amount to have
appraisers appointed and start con-
demnation proceedings.

far ahead of anything they have
seen this year anywhere.
The west river county is
due to harvest bumper crop this
year and land values are going to
go soaring. Everyone seems to be-
lleve that this years rainfall will
be duplicated every year for a de-
cade, and if this becomes settled
belief the land values will increase
IN proportion, with a great influx
of settlers, especially if the reser-
walton directly across the river is
opened to the public.
1t will pay Mobridge business men
to keep an eye on the west river
country as much money will be
brought in here this fall. AS Mo-
bridge is the logical distribution
point it will be made headquarters
for any number of people-people
with money to spend.

and this sport will be INDUCED in
by the association.
In the entire distance from Min
neapolis to Hunters Hot Springs a
special effort will be made to pro-
vide good hotel accommodations.
An effort will .be made to have
the Trail through Walworth county
dragged a few days before the fleet
passes through.
No effort will be spared to make
things pleasant for the tourists.
Some towns will even have their
bands out to meet the cars as they
come into town.
The Mobridge, Livingston, Boze-
man and Big Timber commercial
clubs are making preparations to
see that all are well entertained.
The schedule calls for the fleet
to leave Mcintosh at a. M. We'd.
nesday, the 29th. They can make
that easily by getting a little earlier
start from Mobridge, AS the fleet
will arrive in Mobridge about 4
p. m. the day before there will be
$40 occasion to travel further as the
cars will have to be ferred over
the river. AS that would be a
rather tedious ending for the day
the commercial club will bend every
effort to entertain the travellers in
MObridge during the late afternoon
and evening and have all prepara-
tiOns made to ferry the cars over
the following morning, while it is
cool, with promptness and dis
patch.

Union Cooperative
Store Fixtures Sold

Sheriff Schwartz was in the city
Saturday to close the sale Of the
Union Cooperative store fixtures.
This sale marks the end Of an
effort to establish a business where
by the working people could pur-
chase their eatables at cheaper
rate.
The plan as outlined was all right
in theory, but in the actual every
day business game it was doomed
to failure, as there is a certain
amount OF expense connected with
running a business, regardless Of
who is back Of the movement.
The final act in this transaction
ought to prove conclusively to the
people of Mobridge that the mer-
chants need every bit of business
there is in the city to get by, and
if they are interested in the adj
vancement of Mobridge should
make all Of their purchases here
and stop the practice of buying
from mail order houses.

City Commissioners Re.
queSted to Build Sewer

At the regular meeting of the
Board of City Commissioners re.
Qnest was put in to have contract
let for the construction of sewer
along Grand Crossing to Regstad
avenue and south along Regstad to
the railroad track where the main
line of sewer pipe swings south to
the river.
The commissioners debated over
this question long time, as they
did not care to order it in without
first hearing the sentiment Of the
people along the route planned,
There is a great necessity Tor
this sewer, rs it will drain a see
tion of the city that is badly in
need of drainage and will DO away
with the cesspools that are being
used for drainage purposes at this
time.
Every time it rains the cesSpOols
fill up, forcing the contents all
over the ground and giving off
bad, unhealthy smell.
There is no greater feature IL
attracting permanent residents to
the city than the fact that there are
ample sewer facilities.
a. II. Brown offered to accept
all the warrants issued to pay for
the construction of this sewer at
their face value, regardless Of
whom the contractor was.
This feature will lessen the cost
to the city and to the property
owners who will have to pay for
the installation of the sewer.
Street Commissioner Miles was
instructed to report at the next
meeting with an approximate esti-
mate on the cost and also to make
inquiries among the property own
ers affected as to their sentiments
in the matter.

tory from Aberdeen to Marmalth

misfortune to lose long leather
purse containing $40 in bills and
other valuables.
The purse was lost either in Eagle
Butte or MObridge or while en-
route from Eagle Butte to Mo-
bridge last Thursday. Mr.. Gill
bert offers a liberal reward for the
return of the purse and contents.
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1914-07-17

Miles based his argument for the
sum set on the fact that the prop
erty III that part Of the city was
assessed at IL low value and that
the opening Of the street would IN
crease the value of the property
owned by the people, who would
be reimbursed for the street.
There We're some present who
thought that $50 for the first
block and 500 for the other two
would be satisfactory. Miles was
instructed to investigate further
and report again next Monday
morning.

Will Hold Carnival Here
August 10, II and II

! Ed. r. Bussey, general agent
for the Capital City Amusement
Co., arrived in the city Tuesday
morning from the eastern part of
the state, to see about putting on a
three days carnival in MObridge.
Bussey came with letters Of in
PRODUCTION to eX-mayOr Goodman
who introduced him to the mem
bers of the Order Of Owls at their
regular meeting Tuesday night.
1t was not considered advisable
for the Order to handle the carni.
val and directly after the meeting
several business men got together
and decided to contract for the
carnival.
| The following morning petit
ton was drawn up for signatures
for those who desired to pledge
themselves to raise the necessary
amount to make the carnival an
assured thing. The money was
pledged and the contract signed
almost before it became noised
around what was in the wind.
The carnival will be here either
the 10th, llth and 18th, of August
or the l7ti, 18th and 10Th, the
latter dates if possible.
The shows will consist of T.
big tented features, and score of
smaller ones, with Il band concert
and free attractions galore; there
will be a ferris wheel, merry go
round, portable mOtordome with
an inclined racing track of So per
cent where the cyclists will MAIN
tain a speed from 10 to 80 miles
per hour, there will be q hoochey-
coochey, maybe and many other
attrabtive and interesting features.
This carnival will be one of the
beft advertised exhibitions that
ever came to Mobridge. Huge
colored posters will be strung from
one end Of the west river coun-
try to the other, and Walworth
and Campbell county will be thor
ougbly advertised as well, which
will be great inducement to
bring the people here and will prob
ably attract as well one of the great
est aggregations Of indians to Mo-
bridge during the carnival, that
has ever assembled since the battle
with Caster and his troops in the
Little Big Horn Valley of Mon
tan The ranchers and farmers
as well as the city people will look
eagerly fci ward to the dates set.
Excursions viii be run from
New England, Faith and Isabel
aud perhaps from Ipswich aud
Mcintosh, the first day.
All the pent up energy of a quiet
fourth will be turned loose in this
carnival, the st, ,eets will be decor.
ated with row after row Of hags,
buildings decorated. confetti can
be mad by the barrel. Everybody
for miles around Mobridge will be
here and they will have a rousing
good time.
