Grinstea.d Discusses

Salem , Ncbr. , June 27 , 1904.
i'alls ' ; City 'l'ribllnc :
It has been thc purpose of these
articles to discuss consecutively
each precinct in thc county as thc
samc is related to the improvc-
mcnts contcmplatcd by thc drain-
age system. Our attention how-
ever has been sidc-trackcd by thc
sideshowsvi.th . two-tailcd peacocks -
cocks as thc traction. Just now
thc pars tiiount issue with thc
owners 'of 40,000 acres of wet
lands is a way if possible to reclaim -
claim thc same from what in late
years has been an annual inundation -
dation of thc lands and a consequent -
sequent destruction of thc grow-
ing crops.
'l'he one paramoun issue with
all thc people of thc county-tlfC
one in which all agrcc-is good
roads-and how to attain thcm.
It avails us but little if wc can
move around amongst our ncigh-
hors only on thc upland if wc
must have a banistcrcd foot-log
as thc only tneamis br which to
cross the bottoms to and from thc
marts local tradc.
One or thc other of two plans
must bc adopted in order , to make
permanent passable roads across
thc bottom lands. \Vc must
either lover thc water line , by'
drainage below thc surface , or
raise thc gradc-linc above thc
samc. \Vc have told you how ,
frolll the west boundary of thc
county to thc Missouri River , thc
same can bc done , in which wc
arc corroborated by thc concur-
rent opinion of all competent
authoritics.
This lowering of thc watcr-linc
jan bc made by methods heretofore -
fore cxplaincd. Now there arc
those who have another method
in i contemplation , which is to
' raise thc grade across the bottom
above thc present watcr-linc
\Yc arc all agreed in this one
proposition that thc surface of
thc road must bc separate from
thc watcr-linc and must be diR-
tinct'cly above it. Unless this
is Clone any attempted improvement -
mcnt along this line will bc a
failurc. 1'0 do this then must bc
constructed watcr-ways in some
places almost entirely across thc
bottom. These waterways will
Ice Cream.
We believe that the people dc-
mand it better grade of machine
made ice cream and a wider va-
riety of kinds and flavor. \Vc have
equipped our establishment to
meet this demand.-D.\Y. Sowles.

have to hc made of wool and will
be very expensive both in original
construction and in cost of annual
repairs , and will then bc of
doubtflll cfiicicncy. It is prob-
able that thc latter mcthod will
cost thc county road fund more
money than bc ncccssary to make
a ditch twcnty-four feet wide at
thc top , nine feet wide It : thc
bottom , ten feet deep and thirty
mitcs long. After the same is
done , leaving old channel open
until new channel acquires its
growth , this will permancntly
place thc water line every where
at least six feet below its present
status , lea'inglinc for : road at
surface ground and perman : d-
1) above thc watcr-linc. This
grade can bc rounded in center
one foot in height with excavations -
tions one foot in depth from each
side of thc road , not to exceed in
most places forty feet for road.
'l'his plan contemplates the
new channel to bc located usually -
ly approximately on the lowest
lands. 'l'hese minor channels
along thc road-way running into
new main channel of river with a
natural surface gradient of from
one to three and onc-half feet
per milc. Using Missouri drag
method at the proper til ICS and
places will in 111r opinion solve
the problem and give us ideal
roads perpetually and certainly
with a minimum of original \ cost
and subsequent annual expense
for repairs.
Remember always that the
owners of overflowed lands will
at their own expense make this
new channel and build thc bridg-
cs incident thereto in any given
drainage district.
'l'he later method will not only
do what is claimed for it as the
only feasible way by which good
roads can be had , but under it
40,000 acres of fertile lands may
bc reclaimed from inundation and
consequent destruction of crops
lhcrcun. The same will be plac-
cd on thc tax roll at an enhanced
valuation of not less than $2,000-
000 , together with the annual
crop of on -fourth that much
more.

Our Market Letter.
Kansas City , 1\10. , June 27 , ' 04.
Supply of cattle here last week
fell off 5,000 heal as compared
with previous week , anti the loss
was nearly all stockers and unde-
sirablc thin stuff. Prices showed
a slight closing up , best kinds of
cattle selling a little cheaper , and
thc medium grass stuff made a
small ad vance. Top beef steers
brought CJ.30 , and some straight
grass steers sold around S4.40.
Beef steers generally lost 10 to 25
cents during thc wcek. Dry lot
she stuff did not change much ;
steers and heifers mixed sold at
S5.85 and $5.90 , best prices of thc
season ; best cows ranged up to
$4.60 , good to choice hcifcrs at
84.00 to $5.35. Best grass cows
gain 10 to 15 ccnts. Bulls were
steady at $2.75 to $4.25. Vcals
gained 25 cents , selling at $4.00
to S4.50. Feeders were steady at
83,75 to 84.70 ; stockers gained 10
to 15 cents , and sold at $3.25 to
$4.65. Run today is fair at 7,000 i
head , market strong at 10 cents
higher on best oncs. Present indications -
dications favor a good market for
hcs\ beef cattle , but prospects are .
not so good for other kinds.
Hog run dropped ofT last week
and prices gained 20 to 25 cents
in consequence , closing week at
best point. Supply today is mod-
cratc at all markets , but market
is. barely steady , some cases 5
cents lower , with a top of S5.30 ,
bulk of sales at 85.10 to , 55.25 ,
light hogs . up to 85.20. Continued -
