Ward Councilman

+. j. Shinn has been appointed
councilman from the First ward to
fill the place on the council left va
cant by r. P. Cornelius, who has re-
signed. Mr.. Cornelius has a lucra-
tive position with the Algoma Lum-
Der Company and will be absent from

Shinn's appointment was unanimous
ly endorsed by the council Tuesday
evening at a special meeting. Mr..
Shinn has won a fine reputation for
level-headed business ability and up
right character during his several

Sewers.
Resolutions were adopted by the
city council Tuesday night, creating
Coolidge addition extension to sewer
district No. 16 and Lincoln street
sewer district, which contemplates a
sewer line between Iowa and East
Main streets on Lincoln. Plans and
specifications for same were accepted
and City Recorder Winner was au-
thorized to advertise for bids. Prop
erty owners were present and spoke
for and against the proposals in each
instance. In the Lincoln street mat
ter a remonstrance was presented,
signed by w. e. Palmer. NJ. A. Palm
er, Joe True, C. B. Crosno, Mrs. M.
E. Rowley, Mrs. ]. B. Harrell and
Mrs. Anna McClanahan. Their OBJ
pection was the general high cost of
living, the rise in materials, etc. City
Engineer Walker showed that the
rise in materials made little differ
ence, that the Bancroft act made the
cost fall gently, that the sewer is a
necessity according to the board OF
health, etc. Three citizens of the
proposed district were present to en-
dorse the sewer. There was less OPP
position. to- the; other sewer system
but a desire for Information on the
part of Messrs. Perrine, Yarbrough
and others.
Watershed Resolution.
Another matter considered, thai
relates to the city's interests in Ash
land Creek canyon, was a proposal
from the forestry department that
the city stand the expense of patrol
man on the Ashland watershed, dur
ing the fire-danger season, at S75 a
month. The city wishes to cooper
ate with the department in its work
but deems that its present employees
in the water and electric depart
ments. some of whom are constantly
in the canyon, take the place of
special patrolnan, especially in view
of the fact that it can throw fire
fighters into the canyon on short no.

Oats and Corn Compared.
Progressive Farmer.)

One bushel Of corn Is about equal
to two bushels of oats. That Is, Sc
pounds OF corn Is about equal to 64
pounds OF oats. In other words,
pounds Of corr, is equal to s pounds
of oats. This will he about the rela-
tive value OF tho two feeds If there
IS no legume hay available or cotton
seed meal cannot be obtained. When
either legume hay or cotton seed
meal can be used to supply the addi-
tional protein required by hard
working horse or mule, then corn Is
worth relatively more. Probably
pounds Of corn Is equal to pounds
Of oats, or at least, pounds Of corn
worth 6 pounds Of oats.
The man who feeds oats at their
much higher price because his stock
suffer less from collie when fed oats,
at once confesses to insufficient care
Or skill In feeding.
