U- M - J--10 1M BLUFFS MUST DREDGE INDIAN CREEK Council Decide that Work Dtmtodt Immediate. Attention. DIFFERENCE OF OPINIO ABOUT METHOD tome Fsrsr Boring; a Dredge aad City Do the Work, While Others Think It Shoald Be Don on Contract. That Indian creek from Nineteenth ave nue to Its outlet at the Missouri river must be dredaod and that the work must be done with a little delay as possible was the decision reached by the city council at a special meeting ' yesterday afternoon. Whether the dredging will be done by the city or by contract, however, waa not de termined. Tho lack of funds to do the work Is the problem which confronts the council, but a plan was suggested at yesterday's meeting which It Is thought will solve the difficulty. City Treasurer True suggested that the city purchase A dredge on credit and pay for It. next year, making provision for Its cost when making the levy ln August Treasurer True explained to the aldermen that after the expense of maintaining tho department there would be about 14,500 left In the sewer fund and this he estimated would be sufficient to pay for the labor and help In working the dredge. The dredge It )s figured will cost all the war from $4,000 to $7,000. The question of the right of the city to anticipate such an expenditure was raised and both City Treasurer True and Attorney Snyder gave It as tholr opinions that the city would be justified In so doing In face of the emergency which now exists. With some of the aldermen the plan of purchas ing a dredge meets with favor while others are opposed to It. Aldermen Maloney, Weaver and YounkermnH, the special com mittee of the city council on Indian creek, were Instructed to secure at once from manufacturer of auch machinery quota tions on price of a dredge suitable for work on Indian creek. ' Some of the aldermen are opposed to tho city purchasing a, dredge and favor having the work done by contract. They point to the fact that in the years post the city has at different times purchased expensive ma chines, uch a treet sweepers, graders, etc., find after they have been used for a year or so they have been relegated to the junk pile on the lot used by the streets and alleys- department.' This, they say, would be the fate of the dredge and they feel that It would be an expensive investment for the city. Use Board of Health. In order to strengthen If needed the light of th city council to expend this sum of money on Indian creek Mayor Macrae, sug gested that the Board of Health take the necessary steps to condemn Indian creek as a menace to the public health an- order the city council to have It cleaned and put ln shape to carry off the water without fur ther delay. This action, is is understood, wilt be taken by the Board of Health ait Its meeting next Monday . night, '. ' City Engineer Etnyre accompanied the special" Committee appointed" by" President Van Brunt of the Commercial club yester day afternoon over the course of the creek from Nineteenth avenue to the river. The condition of the creek waa a revelation to every member of the committee. In many places It was found that the creek had be come filled with' mud and debris no within three feet of the top and that at ru point on It entire length between Nine teenth avenue and the river was It wider than ten feet at the top. Engineer Etnyre plans to have It widened 'the entire dis tance to fifteen feet at the top with but a slight slope on t,he sides, thus making tho bottom thirteen or fourteen feet wide. Mr. Etnyra estimate the cost of widening and deepening the channel at about $10,000. Bids for th Work. City Clerk Zurmuehlen reported to the council that but two bids for the dredg ing of the creek had been received. They are from Dean & Bushnell of Glenwood, la,, who bid 17 cents a yard, and E. A. Wlskham, who bid 16 cents. Engineer Etnyre figured on the work costing from 1J to 14 cents a yard. Several of the alder men ' favor accepting Wlckham's bid and providing the fund from the contingent fund or elsewhere. It Is understood that Wlckham Is willing to acept the contraot, part payment to be made next year, and It is contended that if the city can legally purchase a dredge on credit It can:-also contract for the work to be done on credit. Some definite action on this important question may be looked for at the meeting of the city council next Monday night. The city council also took up yesterday afternoon the matter of the engine house to be erected In the southern part of the city. The plans for the house, as prepared by Architect Patterson, were approved and It was decided to recommend to the South Side Improvement club that the bid of the Consolidated Construction company for a brick building be. accepted. Bids for Engine House. Bids- racerved were a follow: On Brick Building Consolidated Con struction cpmpany, W.748.8J, complete. In cluding plumbing; Lund & Sandwick, $3,667; Jensen Bros., H.H9; C. C. Norguard, $4,-133; Petersen & Ollbert. 3,8MS. On Frame Building I.und 4 Sandwick, $3,6118- Jensen Bros., $3,275. All bids with the exception of that of the Consolidated Construction company are without plumbing, which Is figured at $3U0 extra. Under the arrangement with the South Side Improvement club, the city Is to pay an armual rental of per cent on the cost of the building, with the option at the end of five year to purchase. the building at actual coat. A the city will undoubtedly purchase the building eventually the de cision of the council yesterday was that It would be economy to erect a brick build ing, although It will cost nearly $l.au0 more than had been originally planned. Before meeting yesterday afternoon th aldermen took a drive In the patrol wagon and Inspected the newly constructed sewer on North Sixth street, and examined Ben ton street, the property owner on which have asked that the width be reduced from thirty-six to thirty feet, with a view to having It paved. The council adjourned to t next Monday evening. Flu-tUn and heating nixby 4k Boa. . Tako In Ditch Matter. The Board of County Supervisor today will take up the Harrison-Pottawattamie county drainage ditch matter and Is ex pected to take the necessary steps under the amended law to create the drainage district anew' and provide for the work being done Jointly with Harrlsou county a before. At the request of the Council Bluff Re tall Oroosrs' and Butcher' association the board yesterday decided to Impose a license on all peddlers of fruit, produce and other foodstuffs through the county outside of Council Bluffs. Th law authorise th lm- poiltlou of a license of not lees than $B and not exceeding $100 and the supervisors decided that the rates would be tf0 a year for foot peddler, $76 for a one-horse wagon and $100 for a two-horse Wagon. Super visor Brandes, In favoring the license, stated that a number of so-called peddler and hucksters were nothing more or less than chicken thieve who carried on their thieving operations under the guise of hawkers. The imposition of the license, he believed, would tend materially to stop this nefarious practice. The greater part of yesterday's session was taken up with the semi-annual settle ment with the county treasurer. The total tax collections for the six months amounted to $527.241.90 and the balances ln the sev eral funds showed an aggregate of $50,- 066.13, but a there is an overdraft of $.1,948.3$ in the poor fund, the net actual cash balance In the county treasury la $46,107.60.

(From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, June . (Special.) Since the annual meeting of the stockholders of the De Moines & Fort Dodge railroad ln thla city, nothing pew ha developed a to tho future of that property, save as ther are increasing signs that the Rock Island company has no expectation of acquiring till now. It was known positively two years ago by the Rock Island management that control of the stock had passed to others. A high official stated then that the Rock Island would pay practically nothing for the stock, regarding the line a worth but littlo more than the bonds, which ore held by the Rock Island Interests. It wns also stated at that time that If necessary the Rock Island would build a new rond into the territory. For some weeks a sur vey has been going on which parallels the road between Valley Junction and Perry This Is ostensibly for an electric Interurbnn out of Des Moines and right-of-way is being secured for that purpose. It is now announced that all the rlghUof-way has been secured between the , two stations mentioned. It Is also stated that Instead of the survey continuing north from. Terry to Grand Junction it is deflected west to Jefferson, which would Indicate that this might be the route to Gowrle. While the promoters of the interurbnn, who have been working very quietly, ssy that the survey Is for an interurbsn line, the right-of-way is .one that could be used for a railroad quite as well, and the conviction prevails all along the line that it is a pre liminary step on the part of the Rock Island, nnd laying the foundation for the building -of a new route to connect with the Gowrle-Sibley line ln case It Is found Impossible to secure trackage over the old Fort Dodge route. But the Rock Island still ha the $2,500,000 of bonds which stand as a mortgage against the Fort Dodge road, and these will have to be disposed of by whatever company takes the stock. Rock Inland officials here make no con cealment of the fact that they hope If it Is the Minneapolis & St. Louis road that get the old Port Dodge, to make an arrange ment by which the Bock Island will run Its trains to Gowrle from Dcs Moines, but that If some other company tnkes the Fort Dodge it Is not expected that any such lease can be effected. The Rock Island peo ple will know In time so that. If It la neces sary, they can construct their now line this year. Convention Room' Troubles. The demo(rars are having more trouble because of the Hearst movement In Iowa, The state committee, following precedent, made arrangement for "Iowa headquar ters" and rooms for all members of the committee and the delegates and alternates at the Jeffdrson hotel In St. Louis, and these arrangements were completed long before the holding of the state convention. Chairman Mercer of the subcommittee ln charge of this reported to the state com mittee and delegation at the tinia or the state convention and It waa satisfactory. Now Mr. Mercer, as chairman of ihe sub committee, has mailed to delegates a cnll for funda to help pay for headquarter rooms and immediately A. R.. McCook of Mitchell county, secretary of the delega tion, sends out a letter to the aama dele gate notifying them that they are not to pay Mercer, but to pay H. C. -Evans,' treas urer of the delegation. He also statea that the delegation agreed to permit E. M. Can to select room for headquarters, and In due time they will be expected to pay for them. ,1t I found that A. W. Maxwell, one of those claiming to be state chalrman and Mr. Carr have both written the dele gates advising them not to pay any atten tion to Mercer or the state committee. The anti-Hearst delegates have agreed, how ever, to Join with the state committee ln accepting the headquarters seleoted. It Is regarded a certain that the Iowa demo crats will therefore have two state head quarters at St. Louis. For BrlavaoV Encampments.' . General orders hav been Issued from the office of the adjutant general fixing the dates for tba encampments of the Iowa Na tional Guard, and these orders show that brigade encampments have been decided upon. The Fifty-fourth and Fifty-sixth regiments ara to be encamped together July 14 to !1 and the Fifty-third and Fifty fifth regiments will camp August 11 to 18. The signal company will be placed with the Fifty-fifth. The places have not been se lected. College Makes Settlement. The suit of Simpson college against the estate of the late Rev. E. P. Vail was set tled today. Mr. Vail was a veteran min ister and he left a legacy of $.'0,000 to th college. Then two persons who claimed to be adopted children of Mr. Vail appeared on the scene and contested tho will, which would take most of the estate. They have practically established , tlislf right to ' Ini heritance and today a stipulation was filed in the case by which the college accept one-fourth of the estate after payment of all debt. This will materially reduce the amount due the college. Court Decisions, The followlug are the decision of the supreme court: Bute against Hervy Smith, appellant; Bishop cou"ty Judf.

The only question left for Judge Mcpherson to dispose of was whether or not a previous trlui of the case In Omaha constituted an adjudication of the case, so that he would have no right to allow th child to remain here.
