directed that Wlckham & company should
proceed with the work without unneces

work as soon as the engineer set the stake
and laid out the route of the ditch.
The contract awarded Wlckham & comp
any In 1903 provided for the payment of
14H cents per cubic yard and it could not
be learned yesterday whether under the
agreement reached between the company
and the promoters, this price was still to
be In force or whether Wlckham & comp
any had consented to do the work at a
lower figure.

The Marne & Elkhorn Telephone comp

that the taxpayers of Pottawattamie

For the Information of the taxpayers

early months of 19 were unusually severe,
expenses of the farm .management were
correspondingly high arid there was much
sickness among the poor, as there was
among others. The effect of these ad
verse conditions Is Illustrated by the fact
that there were during the yar eleven
deaths,- nearly a,l of them patients who
were very old and most of them bed-ridden.
The above figures, showing a saving
of over $13,000 under the present over the
former plan, should settle Anally and con
clusively all questions whether It pays
to have a county farm. That question has
been discussed by taxpayers of the county
tor the past fifteen or twenty years. It
waa voted on In 18x8 when the Board of
Supervisors asked for l'.u) for the pur
chase and equipment of the farm. It was
defeated by a lance majority, chleflv on
the ground that the firm had not been lo-'
cated. In 1897 the Board of Supervisors
secured an option on the Henry Cook farm
of BIO acres at $o5 ner acre, hut the prop
osition again submitted at that time was
defeated. The board was much discouraged.
