Commercial tlnb Cemanlttee Iaslata the Mots la .Not Thelra, and In. rllael t lie Sasplcloam of ' the Promotera. It was stated yestorday that an ordinance i granting a franchise for an Independent telephone line In Council Bluffs would be submitted at tho meeting of the city coun cil next Monday. Beyond the announce ment that such an ordinance would be submitted little could be learned. The per sons who will ask for the franchise are not given out. F. V. Miller, chairman ol the special committee appointed by the Commercial club, which has In charge the matter of organising a local independ ent telephone company denied that ho or his associates were back of the ordinance announced to be introduced Monday night. When seen yesterday afternoon Mr. Mil ler said: "We have not yet formed a company and are not therefore In a posi tion to go before the elty council with any franchise ordinance. I am not surprised to learn that others are in the Held with a proposed franchise ordlnanco, as I expected there would be some one who would try to forestall us. Of course with the little in- lormatlon obtainable I cannot say whether ; the people who it is said will ask for a franchise mean business or not. I am. In clined to believe, however, that the ordl ttance, (lf one la submitted to the city council next Monday night, will be pre sented by the Bell people or its friends, with the object of shutting off competition and forestalling ihe establishment of an Independent telephone lino In thla city. This, of course, is merely my private opinion and is not based on any actual Information Z have to that effect." - Mr. .Miller' said his associates were get ting matters in shape as .rapidly as pos sible to go before the city council with a franchise ordlnanoe. No such move, how ever,' would be made until a local company waa organised, steps to form which were progressing satisfactorily. ' , ' At the city hall the report that an In dependent telephone franchise ordinance was to be presented Monday night caused more or less discussion among city offi cials. From what could be gathered from the discussion yesterday, it Is evident that the aldermen will carefully consider any such ordinance before passing it. As one member of the city oounoll said, "the com pany seeking a franchise for an Independ ent telephone line In this city will have to give an absolute guarantee that such a nne will be built, and that under no clrcum staneetr will it sell out its franchise before I for one will even consider such an ordi nance." ' .; . Several of the aldermen are InolineJ to the opinion that the people generally -of Council L'.u ft s do not favor two telephone systems in the clt-j but would favor aome plan whereby connection coold be secured with' the independent companies operating in this section without the establluhment of a second exchange In 'the city. roarth Aveaao .

The portion of Fourth avenue between Twenty-third aud Thirty-seventh streets, recently set aside by i th,a city council by ordinance for :a boulevard or speedway, has been graded and leveled from Twenty-fifth to Thirty fifth streets and Is now in excellent condi tion for driving. . . Work will be commenced today on the twe blocks between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-third streets, but nothing will be done on, the two block between Thirty-fifth and Thrty-seventh streets until fall. At the rest of the avtnue these two blocks of the thoroughfare are how occupied by gardens. but as soon as the crops are harvested tho street will be opened 'up and placed in the lame condition a the rest. -'."The driveway now is about fifty feet wide and almost as level a a billiard table: As tJie soli is mainly "gumbo" it makes an excellent roadway and the rain has but little, effect on It, providing it is given proper attention.

The city has been asked to put In a culvert at Twenty-thlrd street and to open the avenue at Twenty- j first street and the committee on streets and alleys has promised to, do so. When entirely completed th driveway will be something over on and a half miles, In length. At present the avenue offers a straight spin of something over a mile. .. Mr. Hutchinson and his sssoclates desire to formally open the new driveway Mon day evening and all owners of driving horses are invlied to take a spin down the speedway and test for themselves the' ex cellent condition of the boulevard.

Talk of Vacatlaar Street. Tha erection, of the Jaquith grain eleva tor on South avenue Is responsible for a renewal of the agitation to vacate this thoroughfare and a portion of Woodbury avenue to the Great Western railroad in return for a strip of ground to- be donated by the railroad and to b used as a thor oughfare in place of that vacated. 'With the construction of its new switch tracks to the elevator tha Great Wesjern will have four tracks" crossing South avenue, which resident in that vicinity will have to cross to reach the downtown district. It is now proposed to vacate this portion of South avenue provided the Great Western will in .return donate a strip northeast of its tracks' Sufficient to make a thoroughfare." By the opening of a new struct between the track of the Great Western and the bltnT farmer and other could reach the clt'y without having to cross any railroad tracks. When the Great Western first built into CounuU Bluffs a similar proposition wss made, but certain property owners on South avenuo protested, , claiming . that to vacate this thoroughfare would shut them oft fror? the public highway. As these parties iTaye now dlaposed of their holdings t Mr.-Jaquith for the -new elevator they are ho longer "Interest, and if.the Great Western Is willing the .elty council will, it Is expeoted. pass the, necessary vscatton ordinance so that Tthe-i. trade can be ef fected. .

MAKE BITTER FIGHT ON INSTITUTION Rival Towae la Jnekae County at War Over Qaestloa of Opening a Depot Binding Twin Prices Drop). (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July n.-(Bpeclsl.)-A storm of Indignation broke In North Dcs Moines today over the matter of abandon ment of a high school nnd a great meet ing wes held, at which Superintendent Sheakley ot the Went Des Moines school district was excoriated by leading citizens ot the city and hi resignation demanded for a variety of reasons, among others al leged immorality and Intemperance. The trouble has been coming on for mote than a year. The district, which was largely in what was formerly the town of North Lies aioines. nan a gooa nign ocnooi. wnicn nas reen maintained nrteen years. The district wss consolidated with the larger West, Des Moines district which now has a magnificent high school building nnd an expensive, school. The school board last ysar attempted to abolish the North High school and compel all to go to tho West High. This failed, hut tha matter was nn fsstra' at the election and those who fa vored abolishing the North High won. Now they are about to complete the abandon ment over the protests of several thousand residents of thst part of the city. Superin tendent 8. H. Sheakley of the West dis trict schools hsd all along favored abolish ing the one high school. The residents ot the north, part of the city lost all pa tience and tonight held a big meeting at a school house, where the personal character of the superintendent was attacked fiercely and a demand made for his resignation. The north people declare they will carry on the war for many years and If the school Is abandoned they will work to re store It. The metier ha engendered much bitterness. Rival Towns at War. Two towns In Jackson county are at outs over a matter of establishing a new station on-tn Milwaukee road. The town of Bpraguevillf, which is about two miles from the Green Island cut-off of the Mil waukee road, desires a station established at th nearest point, and in response to a petition the railroad commissioners went there a short time ago to view the situa tion. , Th town of Preston is on ths main line of the same road about three miles from where the station would be located for Sprague villa.' Now the people of Pres ton Join the railroad company In protest. They assert that the establishment of a new station will ruin their town. A $16,600 brick block has been commenced In Pres ton and when the railroad commissioners visited Sprsguevllle the work was stopped and has not been resumed. The owners say they will not build If thers Is to be a new town. Preston people also threaten to boycott the railroad company entire if a new station Is established so near. The railroad company object to putting a sta tion on the cut-off bees us it is claimed that ths line purposely missed small towns and Is Intended for fst freight only and no passenger train are run over It. Twine Prices Take Tumble. There Is much 111 feeling among dealer In, binder twine in Iowa over the an nouncement by the trust that prices would bs Immediately dropped. Early in th season It waa . announced that the price to dealers for standard , twine would b 104 cents a pound. Now the price has dropped and It is being sold retail for 10 cent in many parts of the state. The drop has caused loss to many dealers, though fanners are not complaining. "The action was due to the efforts of the inde pendent twine companies late in ths season. ,. 'Candidates to Congress. Th democrats of the- Eighth district ar grooming Thomas L.'
