AT the time these reservations were
recommended, it was stated that the
city of Seward would prevail upon Mr..
d. c. Brownell to donate or sell part
of his homestead adjoining these
reservations, for public purposes.
These blocks adjoin the Brownell
homestead, and it is the best site
available for a public park. Seward
is greatly in need of land for public
purposes, as no reservation has
heretofore been made, no park area
set aside, nor Fairgrounds for the
children. 1t is hoped that the city
will succeed in acquiring additional
ground in that vicinity for public pur-
poses.
The Seward Water Company has
authorized me to say that II will eX-
tend its water supply system into the
Federal Addition as the influx of
people may demand, and, if business
justifes the company will also extend
its mains into the Cliff Addition.
The Seward Electric Company
promises to extend its lighting system
into these additions as the demands of
the people may require.
In the Cliff Addition, lots 1, 2, II,
Is, 10, 20, 21 and % in block 5, have
been reserved for school purposes.
Subdivision of lots has been made
and lots sold in the Bay View and
Terminal Additions, and its is expect
ed that as Seward increases in popula-
ton there will be need of a public
school in that vicinity. The site is
ideal for a school, and willab held for
that purpose.
Official plats of survey of both ad-
ditions may be secured at my Office,
at cost of twenty-five cents each.

won't burn like a metal one and, above all, 1t
won't get cold just when you most need the

II is an oblong ederdown covered pad the
thickness of a folded bathtowel, and meas
ures ~ by 10 inches. Being very light and
flexible. it can be folded around or fitted INTO
anv corner or curve Of the human frame All
the preliminary preparation needed is to at
tach the plug to lamp socket and turn on
the switch. 1t will provide continuous even
heat-high. medium or low as desired-untI
the current is disconnected.
The switch which controls the degrees of
heat deserves a paragraph TO itself. Equipped
with a thermostat, which automatically turns
off the current at so degrees Fahrenheit the
pad cannot possibly get any hotter than that
and it can be kept at much lower temper
ature if desired. The switch, which IS at
tached to the pad, is so made that 1t can be
adjusted in the dark to any one of the three
temperatures. This is managed by studding
of tiny brass nails in one part of the switch
plug. One nail indicates the lowest temper
ature. two the medium and three the high.
On the other half of the plug is metal arrow
point In joining the two halves, all that is
needed is to place this arrow point opposite
the nail or group of nails indicating the de-
sired temperature, and this can be done by
touch as easily as by sight.

washing A rubber cover can also be pro

Eden Electric Suction Cleaner
Made by the Brokaw-Eden Manufacturing Com
pany, Alton, Ill., and New York

Light enough for woman to operate as
easily as a carpet sweeper; small enough to 90
into corners and under any furniture that is
seven inches high from the floor, this suction
cleaner is one of the most convenient of labor
saving devices. 1t cleans a strip twelve inches
wide at each stroke, and cleans it thoroughly.
1t is provided with a small brush and sue
ton nozzle, which is good for picking up
threads lint and such small deer, but in our
opinion the brush, useful as it is in its linn
tied way, would better give place to the in
creased suction power that would be made pos
sible by taking it out. Greater air dsplace-
ment is the natural result of removing the
brush, and this seems to us to be more val
liable in a suction cleaner than brush which
will pick up threads.
While this machine is not made of non-rust-
ing material, such as aluminium, it is of good
