Tbe queetlon of purchasing a poor farm continues to be a subject for Interested dis cussion among the members of tbe County Board of Supervisors. The debate ha * now cached a point where tavorablc action is assured. The location ot the farm Is the question to be solved. At the last meeting ot ho board a committee wag appointed to make Inquiries and v islt rites , and this com mittee has ben doing Its work. Us mem bers have bad to reconcile some differences of opinion among themselve * as well as other members of the board. In tbe opinion o ! some of tbe members tbe farm should be ocatc > d at come point as nearly as possible n the center of the county , and should comprise - priso a tract of good farming land capable ot sustaining a colony of at least 100 people. Others have felt that the farm should be located as dosely to Council Bluffs as U is t > o. slble to secure good land at fair prices and that not more than 160 acres should lie purchased. Tbe Cook farm , upon which tbe committee obtained an option several davit ago at $35 an acre , is located in Norwalk - walk township , near Eight Mile grove and about sixteen miles from Council Bluffs. The farm contains about & 00 acres of well located lands , with good improvements and build ings , and would cost the county over $18,000. To reach It from Council Bluffs , unless the trip Is made over the county roads. It will bp necessary to take a train to Wcston or Underwood and drive the remaining distance of about six miles. The members of the board and others who oppose this location call attention to the fact that the inaccessi bility of the location is a serious drawback and obstacle to the accomplishment of the purposes for which the farm is desired. The countj records ehovv that at least 75 per cent of all of the cases or extreme poverty re lieved bjr the county come within the Juris diction of Overseer Huntlngton and that he has accomplished the relief of this large majority of the total number at less cost than has been paid by the count } for the re maining 25 per cent that have gone through the hands of the township supervisors. The object of tbe poor farm Is to still further decrease the cost of caring for the unfor tunates and If tbe farm is located so far from the city that the cert of transporting paupers to and fro amounts to any con siderable figure It will help to defeat the object Just that much. The general opinion Is that the farm should not be located farther than five miles from the city and nearer it the proper location can be secured. At the present time the county is carinp for about seventy families , furnishing then chiefly with all they get to eat and wear So far as these are concerned , the locatloi of the farm would not matter , but there are hundreds of temporary and emergency cases whose relief calls for the greater part o ! the expenditures , which could not be sent to the farm if it was so very far away that time and cost became elements to be con' sldered. Another object desired to be attained b : the boird Is to secure a county hospital where cases of sickness can be looked aftei by the county phjslcian and this could onlj be possible where the location of the bospita Is near town. There is also a strong sentl ment growing up In opposition to the pur chase of a large tract of land. One of thi members of the board , speaking of the mat ter jesterday , said : "A farm of 160 acre ! will be amply sufficient for all require ments. The class of people that will b ( put upon the farm are not robust , healthj and skilled agriculturists. Thev ivill no be of a. class phjslcally or mentally able t ( operate farm machinery. A big farm wll only entail a heavy and useless expense upoi the county. Many of the old people am cripples , who will be sent there , will bi able to do light work in tbe gardens , and thi farm should be nothing more than a grea garden and fruit patch. On such a tarn all kinds of labor can be made available Vegetables can be raised to supply the re qulrements ol the pauper colony and th < surplus can find a ready market in Councl Bluffs and Omaha. Under competent man &gement a well located farm , near town cai be made more than self-sustaining. " Some interesting statistics can be ob tained in tbe office of Overseer Huntlngtot that will serve to show the source fron which at least a large percentage of thi great army of incapables come. Tbe his tory of two families was traced back for ; period covering over twenty jears. Twent ; 3 ears ago both families were receiving all from the county. In each there was a flocl of little children. Tbe beads of the faml lies have been unfailing applicants for all during thp entire period. Tbe cblldret have grown up and married. Of the numer ous progeny one family turned over to tb care of the county twenty. seven people las winter , whose condition was such that t have denied relief would have meant starva tlon. The other family sent thirty-four o Its descendants to ask for permanent o temporary aU. The original members o each of these families have scattered , and ; large number of their descendants ore re ceivlng public charity Irom the supervisor of adjoining counties. Several members o ese of the families have been married her within the last few months. Plum for Meniorin ] Dny.

Two thousand populists held an "indignation" meeting hen to discuss railroad freight rates , and thi : meeting afforded Governor Leddy an op. portunlty to rpring a surprise on the pee > pie of Kansas. After referring to tbe re cent supreme court decision further curtail' ing the authority of the Interstate Com' merce commission , be declared that th < time hud come for tbe people of the wen to act , and he declared that they mus' ' themcelves furnish the needed relief fron exorbitant freight rates. Thereupon he be gan to outline a plan which he tald he hac been maturing for four months. He an nounced before the meeting that a com' mlttee of railroad men who desired to gt into partnership with the people proposed to build a line of .

H < said the people he spoke of were ready anc able to complete the- road , provided that tn < public would take the majority interest in it and that the public need not put lip 1 cen until the railroad should be completed. Tbi proposition is that the states and municl palltles shall hold the majority of tbe stock The men atsoclated with him did not pro pose to take in any outside capital , savi that of the states and municipalities , whicl wotnd be in the majority , and they pro posed to rent the road themselves or al low the majority Interests to run it Tbi etock and bonds of the company it was pro posed to issue through the Texas rallroat commissioners or commissioners of tbe otbe : states owning it , as might be agreed.

Last summer the Barber people began paUng Fourth street , tbe principal business thor oughfare of the town. Work on the north side of the street was completed , but cold weather came on alter a few blocks along he south side had b n paved. However , the concrete foundation was laid along tbc greater part of tbe unfinished side of the street , and was covered during the winter for protection. With the return of warm weather the paving company uncovered the foundation and prepared to finish Its work. At this Juncture an organization or property owners came forward and protested against asphalt being laid on tbe present foundation. They scald it was not good , and that 1U com position was not according to specifications , [ hat while the concrete , w as hard on the sur- tace , underneath It was soft and would give away under comparatively slight pressure. As evidencing that It was not the right thing , they cited that on either side of the street car tracks where paving already hai' ' been laid , in numerous places It IK bulged and broXen. One of tbe leading spirits in this movement was Ar. . Call , vice president and attorney of the Sioux City Traction company. company.BARBER BARBER PEOPLE PERSIST. The Barber people , on the other hand insist that tbe foundation' U all right ; thai the soft concrete underneath the surface wll harden after a little time , and that the bulg ing and breaking ot tbe paving beside the street car tracks is due to laultlnere in the construction of the tracks and not to a poor foundation. Further than this , the paving representatives openly charge that the trac tion officials are Instigating and encouraging complaints on the part of the property own ers in tbe hope that it will bring about a tearing up and relaying of their tracks ant the repair of the broken paving without cos to the street railway people- They say that a part of the trouble Is caused toy the con tinuous rail which the traction company adopted 1:1 : 1 year. H. R. KasEon of Kansas City , -western manager for the Barber Asphalt Paving company , came to the city a lew dajis age for a consultation with local representatives ot the company , and It was decided to pro ceed with the work , regardless of protest ! and threats of Injunction proceedings whicl have been made. Evidencing a determine tlon , to carry out this decision , the companj has Just begun the laying of. psphalt on the objectionable foundation , ! asserting that al its work has been and willi bib done accord ing to specifications. - j The committee of clUrenp , held severa meetings and finally decided } to employ ar outside expert to test the concrete. Ac cordingly Mr. Call of thp traction company went to St. Paul and procured Assistant Cltj Engineer George L. Wilson , who has had charge of much of the pacing work done In that city in the last few years. At a meeting held jesterday Mr. "vyilson told the committee that in his estimation the con crete was exactly the came as that belnj used all over the country and\\a& all right It was thought that If be should so reporl the question would be/s-ettlad. but it .de velops that there Js still' much dlsatlsfac- tion , and numerous threats are made thai the city will be enjolnej from Issuing cer tificates In pajment for the paving. A rather strange fact In connection wltt the matter is that eo far the city has taker absolutely no part In the controversy. A prominent member of the pavlog committee today expressed to The Bee correspondent practically the position of the council It the following words : "The paving companj is under contract to lay an asphalt pavement in Fourth street according to speciflcaWonj prepared by the city ; further , it is undei contract to keep tbe paving in repair foi fire years ; therefore. If It falls to do lit work properly it will be the loser and nol the city or tbe property owners. " COLLCGE STUDENTS ARE UMIULT Twentr-Three Orion Are Suxprmlet' Until September Term. OTTUMWA , la.
