The new section pro vides that the now company's lines shall , between Third and Fifth streets , be placed In underground conduits in both the alleys adjacent to Norfolk avoiuio and also that the line of wires from the exchange office to these two branches should bo placed under ground. The old franchise granted some years ago to the Madison County Telephone company was formally re pealed by the council last evening. RANGE STUFF WILL THEN QO TOWARD MARKET. FORECASTS NOT POSSIBLE NOW The Fact That the Western Range Has Deen Chopped Up Into Smaller Ranches Has Done Away With Old Time Forecasts From Few. In another month wcfitoru cattle shlpmontH through Norfolk will begin. By the latter part of July the movo- meut of cuttle from the western ranges on to Omaha and Chicago markets will bo "on" and thousands of cattle riding on to their eastern doom will got a passing glance at Norfolk. What the cattle shipment of the year will be it is Impossible to foretell at this time , but there Is no reason to bollevo that the Increase In shipments will not be In evidence again thlu your. In the old days when a dozen big out fits held the ranges In the western ranch land tributary to Norfolk It was possible from the reports of these cat tle barons to form an accurate ad vance forecast of the shipments. But with the splitting up of the big outfits Into" numberless Httlo ranches It Is no longer possible to have the old fore casts. The shipments to market will de pend , too , upon the outcome of the present controversy between the pack ers and commission men over the post mortem Inspections. The packers have made a now rule by virtue of which they refuse to pay for cow stuff until after the postmortem In spection by government olllclals , so that diseased cows are thrown out and not paid for. Under former methods the cattle were all paid for and the packers stood the losses on animals found , after slaughtering , to bo dis eased. The commission men have been putting up a stiff light but it is now claimed that many stock shippers favor the new rule , declaring that it will force the diseased herds to bo cleaned up. As ono result of the now rule , bar ring "she" stuff , the steer market has been jumping high. PHILIP AVENUE CLOSING MATTER Case May Not Be Carried up to High- cst Court In Land. It is quite possible that Philip av enue closing case may never reach the supreme court of the United States for final review. The remonstrators who Instituted Injunction proceedings against the city council when it was proposed to close Philip avenue for a Northwestern depot have opened nego tiations with the city with a view of bringing the controversy in the courts to an end. The closing of Philip avenue has ceased to exist as a live Issue but the case which the remonstrators lost In the district and the state supreme courts Is pending for review In the Hiiprumo court of the United States. Save for settling which side of the controversy would have to pay the "costs , " the only effect of a decision from the highest court of America at this time would bo to throw light on the legal features of the case. The men who started the injunction proceedings and who retained former Senator Allen to prosecute their case have aakcd for a settlement cut c court , the proposition submitted being that each side should pay Its own court costs , that the action should be dis missed and that the city council should formally declare that the avenue should remain open. It was stated that the court costs of the city would be slight and that attorneys' fees might represent the principal Item that the city would have to pay In case of dismissal In accordance with the pro posed settlement. A committee of Councllmcn Garvln , Kaufman and Craven representing the city Is to confer with Attorneys S. D. Robertson and M. D. Tyler as to their charges for representing the city's in terests In case the city pays Us own attorney fees through the compromise. A report will be made to the next council meeting. West Point News.

HOPES NOT TO DE REALIZED Some of the City Council Who Do Not Desire to See Paving Go by the Board Suoooot n Method Which May Solve the Difficulty. Norfolk avomio will not bo paved I MM Hummer or full , hi Mnyor Dur- liunl'H opinion paving for this year In | u dead teller mid complication ! ! In the oily llmiueim seem to support thin posi tion. During the Friday administration all prollinliiiiry stops worn taken to pro- vldo for the coating of Norfolk aveuiio with brick from Seventh street to the Northfork bridge. Ily the ternui of the paving ordinance the eont of struct InicniccMonn fall on the city and It IH on thlH proposition that the paving pro ject seems doomed to como to at least temporary grief. For some months the general fund of the city has been In an exhausted condition and us the rout of paving the Htreot Intersection ! ! mouiitn towards something llko $0,000 the condition of city nuances has boon realized to af ford a postilblo obstacle to the Imme diate paving on the city's principal business Hired. At ono time when the difficulty wan first broached It WIIH understood that private parties contemplated offering to lalco the clty'6 "corllllcnto of In debtedness" In exchange for ready cash to llnanco the Htreet Intersec tion paving but the doubtful legality that hovers about Norfolk's system of "cerllllcates" Is thought to have occasioned alarm In the direction of these proposals. Another way suggested out of the hole wan for the city to "borrow" money from ono city fund where a cash balance nourished and place tlio money temporarily In the street fund. This ban been a common practice In the past when city Improvements were hampered by a prospective lack of funds In the necessary quarter. The present mayor , however , has de clared that Hiich a course would not meet his approval. Among some of the council who havn no doslro to RPO pnvlng go by the board a new solution lor the pav ing muddle Is being worked out. If Norfolk was a city of the first class with a population above C.OOO people the few thousand dollars necessary to carry the paving through could bo voted at a bond election held to glvo Norfolk her first paved street. At the last effort to determine the city's population the number of people ple fell a few hundred short of the desired 5,000 mark. A systematic cf fort to raise Norfolk Into the higher class of cities Is being seriously con sidered. If Norfolk wants to bo a city of the first class she can , It Is said by Nor- IIX ULitM ilCJr O , Ililllg \ > IU1II1 UIU ill/ limits several adjacent additions , real ly a part of Norfolk but never Incor porated Into the city. This can bo done , It IB bald , by action of the coun cil preceding a petition to the district court. If Kdgcwater Park , King ad dition , and part of Queen City , Park and Ilartfiu additions were added to Norfolk a special census would make nt-fnll' o Mv nf Htn Oral rlioo T > . this move Norfolk would gain all the privileges that the law accords cities having from 5,000 to 25,000 people. As next spring will not show any great surplus of cash In Norfolk's gen eral fund , It is sold that Norfolk to gain paved streets should be a city of moro than 5,000 people when the paving season comes next year. Pav ing under this program would not be possible this year , It Is said , on ac count of Incidental delays. Speaking of the paving situation Mayor Diirland said yesterday : "The Improvement that I am Interested in at this llmo is a public park for Nor folk. If wo can get a public park of twenty-five acres as has been proposed , I think wo ought to vote the neces sary bonds. As regards paving I said some months ago that I thought that there were other Improvements moro Important than paving. Now I think the park Is ono of theso. We might make arrangements to carry our pav ing through next year but premature agitation might tend to Injure the park project which is where our pres ent efforts ought to bo centered. " Concerning the announcement that there will bo no paving in Norfolk this year , ono business man said : "Tho people of Norfolk will bo deeply disappointed to learn that the plans for paving Norfolk avenue from Sev enth street to the North Fork bridge hayo fallen through. All preliminary plans were taken last year under the John Friday administration for the paving , a petition was properly signed and presented to the city council and an ordinance was passed. Every de tail was attended to and the people were given hope that at last this vital Improvement would come. The an nouncement that the present admin istration can not see its way clear to carry out the plans will bo received with regret. The paving of the busi ness portion of Norfolk avcnuo Is by all means the most important public improvement before the pcoplo of Norfolk - folk today and all our energy ought to bo turned toward that end until It is accomplished. It Is with a city as It Is with an Individual. Ono thlug rtl a tlmo and that done well , Is a good motto. We have started the paving matter ; now let's finish It before we bet sldciracUcd onto a lot or side Is sues.
