A movement is on foot backed by several of the most influential citizens of the precinct to have the course of Four Mile creek changed and the chan nel straightened and deepened. This Bradstreet's says: "While events generally trend toward general if slow j improvement, conservatism still rules i purchasing in wholesale and jobbing lines and in several centers fall trade, notably in dry goods, has passed its maximum. Taken as a whole trade, though in a few instances equal to a year ago at this date is still generally below the normal, and the approach of the election has a tendency to discour age all but absolutely necessary pur chases. "Western trade advices are good as a whole, though house trade is on the wane and traveling salemen are relied upon to take care of reorder business. There is very general agreement that stocks are small in retailers' hands and color to this is given by the many or ders given for immediate shipment, which throws unusual burdens in turn improvement will be of great benefit i on jobbers, wholesalers and manufac- to the people having land along the creek as it will result in turning consid erable land which is now useless into good tiilable soil. To secure this needed improvement a committee was selected and made a trip to Omaha this afternoon where they expect to meet General Manager Holdrege of the Burlington to see whether or not that road can be induced to take a part in the proposed work and lend its assistance toward carrying on the work at its crossing of the stream and from there to the mouth of the creek. The committee which went up con sisted of Former Senator S. L. Thomas, Eddie Todd and Theo. Siarkjohann, several ! three of the most representative farm ers of the precinct. It is to be hoped that their mission proves a success and that the Burlington will see its way clear to join in what will prove an im provement of great value. Settled Out cf Csisrt.

Pacific coast trade reports a:.d those received from the spring wheat northwest are generally encouraging. Southern reports are rather more irregular, but the rapid movement of cotton to market tends to help southern trade and collections to some extent, j although the contract in the price of j cotton, which is now 'M cents lower as cumuaieu wilii a ycai i&i, i i man - rcturn from back to the trade, there is rather more doing at the eastern markets in some kinds of men's wear fabrics and foreign dress fabrics.

George Sherwood, mention of whose Chicago, III., is made in another column, states that conditions in Chicago are very bad, especially in the labor market.

Mr. Morrison had worked hard for some time endeavoring to secure an agreement among the heirs but his ef fects were being blocked by the attor neys for the defense who diligently tried to secure the most favorable terms possible but who went too far and prevented the agreement of 1he heirs. Mi-.
