WEEK 9 m 9 9 City Finances; It will be of interest to our citizens to learn tha,t not for n number of years hns the financial condition of the city be en so satisfactory. There is not only not an unpaid outstanding warrant against the city, but in the strong box of the treasury hero reposes about $30,000, representing balances in the S"Vcrpl funds. This has been accom plished with a levy of four mills loss in 1911 than in 1910. It is evident that the men who are in charge of the city's affairs the mayor and council as well as other officials are not lax in busi ness methods, but rather that they are conducting the city's business with the snmc carefulness that, they conduct their private affairs. That the city is on n cash basis is of b?nefit to everyone who has claims for labor or merchandise; it means that when the claim is presented, if correct, is promptly allowed and the claimant receives a warrant which he is not com pclled to discount. This is different than in former yenrs when a cash war rant was an exception nnd not the rule. This satisfactory condition of the treasury follows unusual improvements in the streets in the way of grading and crosswalks and culverts; there has been no robbing of Peter t pay Paul. Having thus proven themselves ef ficient as well as painstaking servants, i3 not Mayor Patterson and the mem bers of the council entitled to more con fidence and commendation than we, as a people, givo them? They are working for our beat interests not by reason of the meagre salary they receive but be cause they arc interested in the welfare of the town. The New Garage. The new nuto gnrage erected on the corner of Fourth and Locust by A. M. Lock and leased for a period of years by the Davis, Auto Co., is now com pleted and the Davis Co. has taken formal possession. The building is a credit.to thj; town' in fact those who have visited the Omaha garages, say there is none in that city that is so well and nicely finished. In dimensions it is 60x126 constructed of hollow tile covered with stucco. Partitioned off in the rear end is a repair shop 20x66 supplied with power drills, lathes and other machinery and on the northwest corner is an office and store room 22x40. The remnlnderJ of the .floor is used for the storage of autos, there1 being sufficient room for fifty or sixty cars. The interior is nicelyfinished; steel ceiliilg, cement floor throughout, and the woodwork painted a dark oakt In the basement Is a. large heating plant, and the radiators, which aro placed on the walls, arc bronzed as are all the eKposed steam pipes. The system of electric lighting is very complete, including a large overhead sign on the southwest corner of the building. The room is well lighted and ventilated by windows and there are entrances on both tho west front and south side. The system pro vided for washing cars is very com plete. Toilet rooms for both men and women are provided; in fact it woulu" appear Jd the casual observor that nothing that would add to tho con venience of a garage has been omitted. The building complete cost nearly eleven thousand dollars. In putting up such a modern building, Mr. Lock has done a credit to himself and the town. Had he less enterprise and pride, he might have expended five instead of eleven thousand. Some Wheat. C. E. Francis, who lives on the Samuels ranch south of Sutherland, completed the harvest of his wheat yes terday. Mr. Francis cut over five hundred acres, and judges who examined the wheat, say it will average better than twenty-five bushels to the acre, or a total yield of about thirteen thousand bushels. In the harvest five binders were kept running steadily. The stnte county superintendents who attended the meeting of the west ern Nebraska superintendents on Tues day and Wednesday of this week were Mesdames Richmond, of Ogalalla, Starr of Sidney, Belian of Banner, Thompson, of Morrill and Messrs T. C. McKce of Garfield, L. A. Olinger of Dawson, J. S. Elliott of Buffalo, W. D. Paul of Logan and Miss Clco Chappell of Lincoln. A conference was held at the high school auditoriumTucs day morning and all attended Chautau qua in the afternoon and evening and were entertained at supper Tuesday by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Tout at the Chau tauqua grounds. Wednesday morning they were met nt the high school by state superintendent J. E. Delzell, of Lincoln, who addressed them on school management and methods of advance ment. A vi3it was made to the experi mental sub station and several rural schools on Wednesday. In honor of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pough, who were married recently, Mrs. Arthur Artz entertained a number of friends Wednesday evening at a mis cellaneous shower. The evening was spent in games.

Henry Tschudy, residingnt Archer, Nt'br., thinks he has a system for bnnging.prairio dogs out of their holes that should bring him a fortune. While driving his nutomobilo through the hills recently he saw a prairie dog disappear. He backed tho car up to tho hole and put a piece of hos on tho ex haust pipe. Then he shoved the hose in the hole and started the engine. Soon out came three prairie dogs, ono skunk and a screech owl. Mr. Tschudy says the poorer the lubricating oil the quicker the work is done. Simon Brogan, of Pnxton, is spending I this week with town friends.
