These packages arc for sale at tho various business houses through out the city. Contestants will be re quired to register. Here is an opportunity for some of our men, women and children' to ex hibit their skill in pumpkin culture and also to secure a little cash on, the side. The contest is open to all in this vicinity, and even though you do not secure auy of the prizes a few good grade pumpkins are woll worth tho price of the seods and tho labor re quired to care for them, for where is tho parson who docs not relish a gen erous slice of pumpkin pie? Will Erect Steel Flag Pole That Red Cloud is to have tho nation al colors lloating over the city is now a certainty, as an order has been placed with Geo. W. Trine, local hardware dealer, for both tho flag and the staff. Tho funds necessary for tho purchase of the same were secured by popular subscription and the committoe iu charge, composed of Messrs. Alf Mc Call, Dr. Damerell and D. H. Kaley, are worthy of much praise for tho prompt attention they gave the matter. The steel stall selootcd by tho com mittee and ordered by Mr. Trine is to be 05 feet In hcighth, six inches In diameter at tho base and two inches in diameter at the tdp. It is mado in sections and will bo assembled after reaching this city. The flag is to bo 12 by 18 feet and of the best grade material possible to ob tain. The flag and staff are expected to arrive here within ten days, Same is to placed where tho fountain now stands on tho Fourth avenue and Web ster street square. It has been pro' posed to place tho fountain in another location in the city. Father Fitzgerald has tho honor of being tho first oltizon in the city to erect a llag staff from which will float Old Glory. Ho has purchased a thirty Ave foot steel polo and a large flag. The pole was placed In front of the Catholic church Monday. Will Pave Business Section On Tuesday evening the mayor and city council and seveial of the business men and properly owners held a meet ing at tho Commercial Club rooms for the purpose of discussing tho ndvise ability of pcvlng Webster street from Second avenue to Sixth aveuuo and on Fourth avenuo from Cedar street to Elm street. Mr. Fulton of the ilrm of Grant & Fulton was present and spoke ou pav ing. He spoke of how Iowa and Kan sas had had considerable experience in paving aud fouud that it was practical und that the proposition was as yet in its Infancy in most of the Nebraska towns the size of Red Cloud. He also told of the results that would be derived from having the prin cipal thorofarcs paved, that paved streets would be in a moresuitable con dition to carry off the waste water in wet weather, while under similar cir cumstances the same streets would be mado almost Impassable; that It would not only be a benefit for the city in a flnaucial way, for streets once paved, the cost of upkeep would bo practic ally nothing. He further stated that concrete pav ing could be laid for fromSl.-lO toSt.CO per square yard and brick paving ?'. 10 to $2.20 per square yard, also that if the city decides to pavo either of theso two'materials would bo the most de slreablo and practical for this city. Mr. Fulton also statod that there are two ways opeu for paving; one is that the citizens can unite aud petition the council forn paving district, the other that the council can specify a paving district All those present wero In favor of paving the streots specified. Tho City Council held a special meet lug this morning, at which time they passed a resolution, to pave Webstor street from 2nd to 6th avenue and 4th avenuo from Cedar to Elm streets, also employed Grant & Fulton, Civil Kngi- neers, to prepare tuo plans ana over seer tho work, which will bo done this summer. This is Indeed a much needod im provement, the same not ouly beautify ing our city but once laid the expense for upkeep of those streets will praclio. ally bo eliminated. Now with our new High School building, Library and Sewer system all that Is neoded to make this a metropolitan city is a White Way. OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT IS IN HONEST, SKILLFUL HANDS.
