proposed that at Fort Madison d
plant be established to burn clay for

highways. AS the freight item Is
considerable it might be necessary to
confine the industry to n small ter

Have to Haul ii Yourself
Hereafter. Ill

Unless your back yard rubbish is
placed in the alleys before the city
teams get to 1t you will have to haul
1t away at your own expense. II you
clean it up today or before the wag-
ons arrive it will cost nothing.
The moral is-do 1t nowl
The wagons commenced early this
morning in Crawford's addition. and
made good headway. They will fin
ish it this afternoon. Tomorrow
they come up to b. w. Vedder's dis
trict, and will probably take a couple
of days there. 1t will be the middle
of next week, at least, before the
work is concluded.
Commissioner Holmburg is well
pleased with the results of the cam
paign. Not only has it resulted in ar
unusual amount of cleaning up on
premises, but there has been more
painting done this spring than in any
similar period in the history of the
city Every painter in town is work
ing overtime, and the paint dealers
declare that the sales have doubled
almost any previous season.
Repairing has been going forward
rapidly, too. Tenants have found
their landlords wiling to make per-
manent improvements about the
homes. and this is also adding to the
appearance of the city.
The City Sanitary and the City
Beautiful are things of certainty
now.
The movement, moreover. is going
forward into this week by its own
momentum. When you get man
enthused over a matter he is going
to see it successfully concluded be-
fore his enthusiasm dies away. The
inspiration has hit hundreds in Grand
Junction in the last two weeks, and
they are going to make it a clean
up spring. instead of merely
cleanup week"
