H. s. Foot Ball Team Being
Rounded Into Shape
Plenty of Material to Draw
From with a Fine Array
of Coaches.

You can expect to see some
thing doing in the foot ball line
this fall with the local High
School team holding the center
of the stage, and it would not
be at all surprising if the team
would develop into pennant
winners this season.
Never before in the High
School has there been such an
abundance of good material to
draw from and with the fine
coaching which the team will be
given during the next few weeks
something can be expected of
them.
In addition to the regular
coaches of the Washburn High
School, DR.. Mark, who played
three years with the Marquette
college team, will assist in the
coaching. DR.. Mark knows the
foot ball game from start to
finish and the pointers which he
will give the boys is going to
do them a lot of good. DR..
Mark says for a high school team
there are great possibilities in
local eleven this season and with
the right kind of support the
team can brought into the win
ming class.
Nightly the boys are going
through practice work, learning
how to tackle, carry the ball.

of the game and they are catch
ing on rapidly. Watch for

be so sharp and it is hoped to
thus avoid accidents which were
liable to happen with the road
in it's present condition.

Will be Used for Excavating
Dirt from Street
Expect to BE Able to Rush
Work from This Time
on Paving job.

The big steam shovel which
will be used for excavating the
dirt from the main street which
is to be paved, arrived in the
city on Tuesday and will soon
be placed in position on the
street for work. In order that
the work may be rushed the
Contractor has decided to use
the steam shovel for eXcavating
work, it being estimated that
there is about $4,000 yards of
dirt to be removed.
During the past week men
have been used for excavating
work but this process has seemed
to be altogether too slow and
the steam shovel will be used
for the balance of the job.
1st avenue from the Omaha
depot to main street is now
nearing completion so far as the
excavating is concerned.
The foreman in charge of the
work expects to work three
crews as soon as the concrete
work is started and in this
manner the paving may be
finished before freezing weather
comes.
1.-The steam shovel was put on
the job this morning and is be-
ing given a try-out. Owing to
the shallowness of the dirt to be
excavoted the shovel does not
have much of o chance to work
but it is the opinion of those in
charge that it will prove quite
satisfactory.

At tn, Commercial Club
Rooms on Friday
New Depot Proposition will
Come up at this time
For Hearing.

Members of the Railway Com
mission of Wisconsin will be
here on Friday to hold hearing
on the complaint of the Viking
Club of this city to the effect
that the Omaha Railway Com
pany be compelled to erect a
new and modern depot in this
city and that the location of the
same be ut the intersection of
Washington avenue and Omaha
street.
Some months ago the Viking
Club circulated a petition calling
upon the Omaha people to erect
a new depot at Washington ave-
nue. and a copy of this petition
was forwarded to the Railway
Commission with the result that
the hearing was ordered.
The Viking Club is prepared
to present their case in full be-
fore the Commission and the
Commercial Club is likely to
take q hand.
That a new depot is needed in
this citv seems to be a settled
fact. Omaha officials have
granted that the present depot
is not what it should be and they
have offered to remodel the pre-
sent structure but the people of
this city believe that it is up to
the company to give them a
depot in keeping with the
growth of the city.
Everyone interested should
attend the hearing.
