A Northwestern editor yesterday
j visited the big plant of J. W, Conger
down by the mill, and found the
| force of perhaps twenty-five of the
best boys in town concluding the
filling of the great ice house, which
they expect to complete today. Mr.
Conger has a building with a capacity
of some seventeen or eighteen hun
dred tons, and is placing therein
thirteen hundred tons of congealed
aqua to dispense to our people the
coming season. It is a most interest
ing sight to witness the storing o1
the ice. and we noticed it was of the
very clearest and best quality.
Court House Question
The Northwestern has enjoyed
much criticism, both favorable and
adverse, over the position it took on
the court house question last week.
If it had no further effect than to
cause the people to examine into the
subject matter, we are pleased that
we brought it before them' The
article was brought about by the
advertisement in another column for
bids to build an addition to the
present structure, which is an abso
lute necessity, now that a district
clerk is added to the roster of county
officers, or otherwise to build a new
court house. In the present status
of tilings, the court house, so called,
is not large enough to house but
three of the county offices, and one of
them has to occupy a portion of the
court room—the ones occupying the
i court house being clerk, treasurer
and county judge, while the county
attorney, county superintendent,
sheriff, surveyor, coroner and dis
trict clerk must have office room else
where. causing much expense of
rental, running up into hundreds of
dollars per annum. The county of
necessity must have a new court
house of ample dimensions, build an
addition to the old structure, or pay
{out a good deal of revenue for rental
for the greater portion of the county
offices, building an addition to the
present disgrace means the continu
ance of the eye-sore for a good many
years to come. Then it is of common
comment that the vaults would prove
unsafe in case of tire, while the old
county safes in the clerk's office
which are tilled with records, it is
not believed could withstand tire of
any considerable heat, and so there
vou are. On the other hand, it is
claimed if the old shell was burned,
the vaults would n.>t lie exposed to
sufficient heat to hurt them and the
two safes in the clerk's office could
be removed under any ordinary con
ditions t>efore the contents could be
damaged to any extent. Then. too.
it is claimed that the county, with
an indebtedness of some $*<0,000.
snouiu not ounu a new court nouse
till it is out of debt, that it is not
good business judgment, and would
not be considered in private business
relations by conservative men. We
have tried herein to give the criti
cisms uttered, pro and con. and gixe
them for mental digestion. Think
1 it over.
