Tendency.
With the close of 19 Council Bluffs ruts
another notch In the record of year of
prosperity, with every prospect for 1007
adding another. The wholesale and retnll
busines f the city ha prospered during
the last twelve months, the banks show an
Increased business and on every hand are
signs of a continued era of properlty.
The demand for skilled and unskilled labor
during the year past ha exceeded the
supply and no artisan or laborer of any
kind lacked work at good wag?' during the
year brought to a close yesterday at mid
night. While perhaps public Improvements
have not kept pace with private enter
prises, still the city has during the last
year carried out some Important Improve
ments and the, new year promise to wit-
nrss considerably more.
Mr. E. W. Peterson, local manager for
the mercantile agency of R. G. Dunn & Co.
of New York, makes the following report
on the business record for 1S06 and the
prospects for 1907:
The year which has ust closed has been
In general a prosperous one for this vicin
ity, as evidenced by the following fscts
which have been gleaned from an Inter
view with the principal business men of
the city.
Wholesale Trade.
The wholesale trade report their sales' to
have advanced materially over 1j6v and
this statement is almost universal In all
Unas.
There ar about twelve large jobblna.
Implement houses In Council Bluffs, whone
aggregate sales are In the neighborhood
of $o,UO,0u0, and It Is estimated that a simi
lar amount of merchHndlse In this line Is
also transferred at this point.
One of the leading wholesale Implement
concerns here reports that IPC hus been
the most prosperous year since they have
been In business In this elty, and this fnct
speaks will In general for the prosperity
of the Implement trade. Other houses In
this line likewise report a very satisfactory
year in the volume of business done and
the profits encouraging.,
Collections have been delayed In certain
quarters of late, caused by wet weather
and bad roads, but as soon as the farmer
Is able to move his grain It Is the Impres
sion that a prompt resumption of the
liquidation of debts will appear. A famine
of cars has also caused a delay In moving
the product of the country and Is a hind
rance In the settlement of accounts, but as
soon as this difficulty Is obviated It li
thought a perceptible Improvement will be
noted In the adjusting of claims.
The abundant crop of the past season hn
enriched the country and the steady price
of grain has been conducive in maklna
good times and the ordinarily prudent
trader ought to have been able to make
some money, ana these conditions are. re
flected In the prosperity of our merchants.
Council Bluff still stands prominent In
the west as one of the leading Implement
markets and the lndicationa are that in
1906 the city has sold rnor merchandise
In that line than In any previous year of
It history.
Advices from the different manufacturing
establishments in the city are likewise en
couraglng. One factory has - had a day
and nlsrht force emnloved for several
months past and although running to their
full capacity were not able to supply the
demand for their goods. Other factories
report a good volume of business ana an
Increase in their output over Inst year.
Borne local factories have enlarged their
plants, the Increase in their trade neces
sitntlng the outlay.
The wholesale grocery, hardware, carpet,
cigar and drug trade report the business of
the last twelve months as very satisfactory
and ths large floral plant, nursery, axle
grease, seed companies, lumber and other
Industries speak quite favorably of tbeis
business for the year.
The retail merchants of the city almost
universally report a healthy Increase In
their self s during the last, twelve months,
some of the prominent Arms reporting an
Increase of 26 per cent over last year. In
addition to the volume of business being In
advance of 1906 their profits also have been
on the whale satisfactory.
Another manifestation of local prosperity
Is the fact that a large number of resi
dences have been erected during 1906 and
still houses to rent are In demand. This in
dicates a healthy growth of the city and
increase In population.
Prospects for New Year.
In speaking of the prospects of the city
It can be noted with some gratification that
during 1907 the Alfalfa Meal company ex
pects to erect a large plant here, and this
has been necessitated by a liberal Increase
in Its growing patronage.
The Uncle Bam Oil company has an
nounced Its Intention of erecting oil tanks
here and making this point the center of
Its operations.
A large flouring mill ha some prospect
of being erected at this place, backed by
considerable capital.
The Commercial club ha continued ag
gressive in Its operations and every favoA
able project during the last twelve month
has been duly considered. To Its efforts
Is largely due the Drosoect of the alfalfa
I factory being erected her and the p?
sible location of oil tank by the Uncle
Ham Oil company. Every enterprising cltl
en ought to recognise the benefits of and
in every way possible assist the efforts of
this organization.
In conclusion attention 'Is called to the
excellent shipping facilities of Council
Bluffs. It has ten trunk lines running Into
the city and they extend In every direction,
offering unusual Inducements as a location
for factories.
Any eastern concern that Is looking west
ward with a view of changing Its location
ought to consider the advantages of this
point as a railroad center. In addition
thereto we have plenty of room, cheap
land and enterprising cltlsens to help along
every desirable- manufacturing establish
ment or other mercantile venture that may
be looking in this direction.
Pwblle Improvements.
The principal publlo Improvements car
ried out by the city during the last year
were the commencement of the paving of
Lower Broadway, the principal thorough
fare, between tills city and Omaha, seven
blocks between Thirteenth and Twentieth
streets being thus Improved, and the deep,
enlng and widening of Indian creek from
Sixteenth avenue to Seventh street. ,The
money for this Improvement, which cost
120,000, was furnished by the several rail
roads centering in Council Bluffs. .
The total, amount of paving laid during
the year was 29.183 square yards, at a cost
of $t3.iK3.. Ths streets paved were:
Broadway, from Thirteenth to Twentieth
Street.
Ninth street, from First avenue to Sev
enth avenue.
Tenth street, from Broadway to First
avenue.
First street, from Graham avenue to Pell
avenue.
Fairvlew avenue, from Third street to
nd.
Mynster street, from Eighth street.
Park avenue, from liisti bchool avenue
to park entrance.
Pomona street, from Glen arena to Park
avenue. i . .
Curbing to the extent of 1,70 lineal feat
wi laid, at a cost of $1,032. S. ,
Cement walks to th extant of 17.23S
Square feet were laid, at a cost of tl.s7S.74.
Brick sidewalks to tb extent of 21.690
lineal feet war laid, at a cost of tH.S3.2S.
Bewerlng to ths amount of l.fcn lineal feet
was laid, at a cost of tii2.og. , -
Record Year for Building.
The last year was a record one for build
ing, although but few large structures were
erected. The building was chiefly of pri
vets residences and hundreds were erected
during 'the lost twelve month In every
part of the city, although the greatest
activity In this Uu wa-U the western
part, -which experienced a verltabl boom.
The principal building erected during 1906
ws the Edmundson Memorial hospital,
erected by the Women' Christian associa
tion on Rust Plerc street at a cost of
over $60,000. Next in Importance was th
Goodrich hotel at the corner of Broadway
and Eighth street at a cost of $30,000. An
other building of Importance I that of the
Day A Hess company, now In course of
construction on Pearl street, opposite Bay
lis park. Among the principal residences
erected during th year ar thos of Oscar
Keelln on East Plerc street and E. It.
Dougee on Oakland avenue, each represent
ing an expenditure of about $10,000. The
Keller A Farnsworth company erected a
substantial addition to their store on
Broadway during the last year at an ex
pense of several thousand dollars.
In the western part of the city hundreds
of new residences were erected and are
In course of construction, but this class
of building was not confined to that por
tion of the city, It being general all ovr
the city.
The building permit record shows that
permits -Involving th expenditure of $397,
185 were Issued during the year, but this Is
not a criterion of the building done during
1906, a many house were erected for
which no permit were taken out. The

Real Estate Record.
While there ha not been a boom in real
estate except In the western part of the
city the real estate market during "190i
was exceedingly active and property values
showed a marked Increase, owing to the
Increased demand for residence lots espe
cially. Farm values SJtaintalned the high
rate eet two years ago and good land In
Pottawattamie county brought $100 an acre
and even more, Lota In certain portions of
the city which for years had been a drug
on the market found ready sale for resi
dential purposes during the last year and
real estate dealer report a most pros
perous year.
The record of real estate transfers for
1906 show an Increase of 221 deeds filed and
an Increase of $699,956.85 In consideration.

Work of the Police.
"During the past year the city was com
paratively free from -crime of a serious
nature. There were a number of burglar
ies, but of a minor character, and for a
while there was almost an epidemic of
safe blowing. The police made 1,765 ar
rests during the year, divided as to
months a follow:
January, 106; February, 92; March, 96;
April, 130; May, 168; June, 146; July, 169;
August, 228; September, 179; October, 211;
Npvember, 116; December, 130.
Of these arrest 618 were drunK. '44!
vagrants and 827 disorderly, the latter
including the women of the lower world
who pay monthly fines. .
The police cared for thirty Insane per
sons, found and returned 113 lost chil
dren, provided lodging' for 974 unfortu
nates and furnished during the year, 5,332
meals to prisoners and other Inmates of
the city Jail. One hundred and seventy
packages of stolen property were recov
ered. Fifty-two sick and Injured pcrscr.s
were token to the hospitals, fourteen sick
and Injured persons taken to their homes
and forty-two sick and Injured persons
cared for at ppllce headquarters. v
The Ones and forfeitures for the year,
amounted to $14,013.(5, and all of this
amount was turned Into the city general
fund.
. In the matter of health conditions Coun
cil Bluffs fared well during the past year,
there being comparatively little sickness
outside of the ordinary number fit cases
of diphtheria and measles, although at
the opening of the school year in Septem
ber, It looked for a while as If there
was going to be an epldemlo of diphtheria,
but the health authorities acted pnpmptly
and with vigor and the disease was
speedily stamped out of tha schools.
During the year there were reported to
the Board of Health twenty-nine cases of
scarlet fever, sixty-seven cases of diph
theria twenty-three cases of smallpox and
141 cases of measles, beside a few cases
of . mlior diseases such as membraneous
croup, etc The number of contagious
diseases reported by months were as fol
lows: January, five; February,, twenty;
March, eight; April, three; May, eleven;
June thirty-one; July seven; August, none;
September, five; October, forty-six; No
vember, forty-nine; December, eighty-two.
The reoprd, . as kept by ths city phy
sician, shows there were 429 deaths dur
ing the year and 175 birth up to April
4. After July 4, under the new law, all
birth are reported to De Moln.es by the
assessor and are not recorded with the
city physician.
But for the recent fire on Implement row,
which destroyed the Union Transfer com
pany's warehouse and stock, the loss by
! fire during 1306 would, have been smaller
than for several years. The report of Fire
Chief Jones shows ths total loss to have
been $142,597, with $003,500 insurance. The
department responded to 132 alarms, trav
eled 494 miles to and from fires and worked
210 hours while on duty at fire.
Boom la Marriages.
Council Bluffs sustained during 190$ Its
reputation as a Gretna Green for marrying
couples. During the twelve months 870
marriage licenses were Issued by th clerk
of the district court, an Increase of 155 over
1905. The larger number were issued to
person from other town and states. Rev.
Henry DeDong, who a probation officer of
th Juvenile court occupies an office In the
court house, convenient to the office of th
clerk of th district court, officiated at 269
marriage, for which he received $722.65 In
fee. Th record of marriage license Is
sued by months Is as follow!
January, 56; February, 60; March.i 70;
April, 76; May, 75; June, 86; July, 53: August,
to; September, 61; October, 9s; November,
71: December, 79.
Ths business at ths postofOc for 1906

1905, as evidenced by the following state-

Mrs. Wk A. Smith, living at 623 Sixth
avenue, and her husband hRd at quarrel
yesterday morning, and. Mrs. Smith .flour-
I lHhed a 82-callbre revolver. Smith attempted
to seize the weapon, It 1 said, and It we
discharged. The bullet grased hi right
ear and the controversy for the time being
was ended.
Parties living In the same house, fearing
bloodshed, notified the police. Mrs. Smith,
who had gone to a drug store, presumably
to secure something wit"-" which to sooths
her nerves, was taken Into custody and
escorted to police headquarters, where later
she was released on a $300 bond. It was
stated at police headquarters that thla
would end the case.
Smith is employed as night machinist In
the Union Pacific, shops in Omaha. He
has been a resident of this city about five
years. Jealousy on. the husband' part I
ald to have caused the trouble. About a
month ago Smith called at police head
quarter and showed a letter addressed to
hi wife from another woman. Ha thought
the letter Implied something suspicious and
he wanted hi wife watched.
Smith protested against his wife being
taken Into custody, and It Is not likely he
will prosecute, as both his and his -wife's
version of the discharge of the revolver
indicated that it was accidental and that
Mrs. Smith had no Intention to shoot ber
spouse.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
MOINES, Don. 31. (Rpeclal.)-Infor-matlon
reached De Moines today that th
core or mora of clerk and stenographer
who went from thl city to North Dakota
to take up homestead claim are starving
and free xlng to death. Miss Lena Watrona,
who was a stenographer and office girl for
Dr. L. D. Rood of thla ctly, hn written to
friends here, telling of the conditions. In
order to get a letter to their friends Miss
Watrous drove forty mile to Phillip. N.
D to mall a letter written by Mr. A. E.
Prltchard, wife of a Sioux City street car
motorman, and to get provisions. The let
ter Of Mr. Prltchard was sent on to Dos
Moines to the relatives of the Des Moines
people who are there. A score or more
of young women of this city who were
office clerks and stenographers went to
North Dakota last spring to take up home
stead clalma. They built little 8x10 houses.
The point where they are located Is forty
miles from any railroad and, provisions
being hard to get, they had noththg but
gasoline stove end a limited supply of
provisions. By remaining on the land till
January 1 they will have been there the re
quired Urngth of time, eight months, neces
sary before proving up and getting their
land. The weather up there, it Is reported,
had been mild Snd pleasant up till re
cently and being anxious to finish all re
quirements for getting the land they have
remained there. Recently bllxaard snow
bound them and cut off their opportunities
for getting provision and fuel. Moat of
the colony from thl city ar women. A
a matter of fact, a great many of the
women ar married, and under the law
cannot take up homestead claims. They
are trying to do so for their husbands.
For this reason they have been guarded
about letting their condition be known till
now for fear the government will ascertain
the facts. The difficulties of thla colony
are distinct from the troubles of the peo
ple In North Dakota who are lacking fuel
and for whom the government la now mak
ing an effort to get the railroad to take
coal In. There are a large number In the
colony with the De Motnea people from
other Iowa cltlea. Mis Helen Huntley of
Marthalltown Is on of these. Nearly all
In the colony are from Iowa.
Throw Himself 1st Front of Ensjla.

two months ago.
Believes Himself Joahwa.
William Amend, a butcher of thla city,

three 60c boxes of Pyramid Pile Cur and
It hn benefited hi more than any other
