Valley City boasts of the best
street commissioner in this neck of
the woods but the street commission
|er isn't Boosting of the help the citi-
zens give him in his work of keeping
our streets in shape and our city
clean and beautiful. Many property
owners in the residence districts have
a habit of raking their lawns and
boulevards and throwing the leaves
and dead grass into the street or gut
ter. That is an easy way to dispose
of that class Of refuse but it takes
the JOY out of the life Of the street
commissioner. The cutters have been
freshly cleaned this spring and, with
a little cooperation of the property
owners, may be kept that way with
out much effort. When person
throws dead grass and leaves in the
gutter they don't cause much damage
until we have a rain but as soon as
there is rain these leaves and other
refuse wash down to the sewer trap
and clog it, making a great deal of
extra work that could easily be avoid
ed. The city officials ask that this
class of refuse be disposed Of some
other way and save the city this adj
ditional expense.

From Now On.

The Masonic bodies gave another Of
their. annual Easter dancing parties
last evening. This was the first Ma
sonic dance to be held in the new

giving good program of waltzes, a
few quadrilles and enough of the
modern dances to keep everyone sat
isfied.
There were a number of Masons
present who didn't care to dance and
card tables had been provided for
! their entertainment in the club room.
These were kept in operation thru
out the evening and furnished their
quota toward the evenings pleasures.
At midnight the bugle sounded and
the guests repaired to the rooms on
; the top floor where the ladies of the
Eastern Star had provided refresh
ments. That word refreshments is a
|mis-nomer, they furnished a banquet.
1872 guests were seated at the tables
and served with real feed. The ta-
bles were neatly decorated and the
service was Of the best. These lad
| les. are mighty hard to beat when
they decide to banquet their friends.
After supper the dancing and card
playing was resumed and continued
until the early morning hours.
During the evening D S. Richie
announced that it was the intention Of
the Masonic bodies to give one of
these parties once month from now
on. The announcement was well re-
ceived and plans are already made
