CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS.
City Council Has Made Big Showing
There Past Summer.

Have you been to the cemetery late
ly? II you have not and want TO get
some idea OF what the commission Is
doing with the money that they are
spending you ought to go over there
and look the ground over. The ceme-
terry is the place where the most evil
dence OF the many good things of the
new city government Is in evidence.
In the first place you don't have to
90 away out around the hills and
through the dumping grounds to get
through the dumping grounds any
more to get 10 the place where our
dead lie buried. Instead you go to the
cemetery along the street that runs in
front OF the row of houses that Her
man Holmes has built on the Wagner
& Carey addition. A street was grad
ed and rocked and 1t is hoped next
year TO have a sidewalk built so that
one may have a walk all the way from
the city to the cemetery gate.
Immediately upon entering the lot
one meets with new plat laid out
during the summer and extending
along the road clear to the second
plat laid out few years ago. The
sexton has definitely marked the lots
by skinning the sod of from the
passage-way between the lots This
part OF the cemetery will be the next
sold out for cemetery purposes.
Passing to the older section the
most noticeable work has been done
upon the real old section where bush
es and briars had grown up over the
passes and the older graves Mr..
Kammerer has skinned the sod OFF
from all OF the affected part and
thoroughly killed the bushes. This
will all be reseeded and fine lawn
developed.
The commission has certainly done
wonders in the short time at the ceme-
terry.

The Market Resume.

The Iron Trade Review said on
Thursday: "Germanys surrender
clearly having been made question
only of time by the stupendous events
OF the last week. the iron and steel
industry is being brought face to face
with the realities OF readjustment
more squarely. The bewidering rap
idity by which international affairs
have reached their present stage has
intensified the initial uncertainty and
suspense, but calmer reflections have
been exercising due measure OF
restraint. The cardinal fact that vir-
tually every ton OF iron and steel now
being produced continues to be de-
manded for war or essential purpos-
es Is steadying influence. Trade
fears are not those of the effects OF
peace. but OF the uncharted period OF
transition from war to a peace
basis.
Authoritative expressions from
Washington show that the situation
already is receiving consideration in
the highest circles. The belief has
been strengthened that present gov
ernmental regulation will be extended
in some form to stabilize trade cont
ditions after peace. High steel au-
thorities believe that plan OF this
kind Is urgently essential and there
Is more talk of the advisability Of
the setting of minimum prices to sue
ceed the present maximum rule.
"The vital necessity OF continuing
high speed production continues to be
sounded by the government. The ord
