Woodbury Property on First Arenas
and Seventh Street Selected.
FRONTAGE ON PARK TOO COSTLY
Location Removed from Street Car
Line Also Thought to Be Desir
able, aa Mraetnre Will
Contain Dormltorle.
The Woodbury property at the north
eaat corner of First avenue and South
Seventh atreet waa" aelectcd by the execu
tive commit teo of the Toung Mcn'a Chris
tian aaanclatlon yeaterday afternoon a
the alte for the proposed association build
ing. The property has a frontage of 100
feet On First avenue and 142 feet on
Seventh atreet, and waa offered by Pr.
E. I. Woodbury for 11 600.
. In selecting thla alte In plane of one
fronting en Bayllse park, the committee
took Into account largely the fact that
the cost ia about one half of what a
location opposite the park would have
been. The committee having decided to
adopt the dormitory plan for revenue from
the building Instead of store on the first
floor, It waa deemed advisable to have the
building a block or so from the atreet
car line.
The lot at the northeast corner of First
avenue and Seventh atreet is a alghtly
one and will afford space for a building
OxlflO feet and leave sufficient ground for
tennla courts and other outdoor amuse
ments. Both First avenue and Seventh
atreet are paved and row of tall trees on
both atreet will afford plenty of shade.
Speaking of the selection of the Wood
bury property, F. J. Pay, president of
the association, aald after the meeting of
the executive ' committee yesterday after
noon: "The committee waa Influenced by
the fact that this property could be se
cured for J4,SO0. A suitable site facing
Bayllva park Would have cost from $7,000
to $10,000, ao we save S3.000 t $5,000, which
can be ued to advantage in the equipment
or the building. Having decided to adopt
the dormitory- plan for revenue the com
mittee decided that the building would be
best located a block or two from the
street cars. Naturally those, who favored
a elt fronting Bayllss park wlU be dis
appointed At our selection, but I feel aure
they will eventually realize that the selec
tion of the committee was for the best.
Now we will have to get our shoulders to
the wheel and ralae the money needed for
the building. W hope to get the erection
of the building started early next spring."
Secretary Harry Curtis haa already com
menced work on general plans for the as
sociation building. He visited the associa
tion building In Omaha for the purpose of
obtaining Ideas which could be adapted to
local conditions. While there he was able
to look over the plana of aevernl other
association buildings In Nebraska, some
Of which are In cities with populations
corresponding closely to that of Council
Bluff.
It I hot known yet how much money
can be put Into the association building
here, but those Interested all favor the
erection of one which will-be a credit to
tl.e city. Secretary Curtis expects to have
threo stc of plans drawn, ono for a build
Inc costing JI'J.OCT, unother for one costing
.5U',X0. and the third costing $70,000 or
A general meeting. It I expected. Will
be called In the near future to make plana
for a vigorous campaign to secure the
heeded fund tor i he building.

more than merely making trips over the

irns as to service. It Is learned that the
commission Is making a careful and de
tailed Inspection , of the condition of tho

the property generally. While the com
mission ia not allowing to become public It
correspondence with the railroads, it ha,
following ach visit, written to the rail
roads, making detailed suggestions a to
the Improvement of their property. Chair
man Ketchum I conducting the corres
pondence, and to a number he ha stated
that the commission found the roadbed
not tn good condition. He haa suggested
delicately but firmly that the condition
of some of the branch lines was not such
as to make travel for the public safe, and
with equal firmness, has suggested that
the improvements be made at once by
Increasing the weight of rails and replac
ing a large percentage of the tlea and
property ballasting the roadbed. The com
mission still has some of the biggest line
to Inspect before It will be through with
Its work. Chairman Ketchum will leave

BORAH TALKSJJF ACQUITTAL1
Senator Says His Troseeatlan Waa
Actuated r Personal
Metlve.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 4. Boise Is still cele
bratlng today over the aoqulttal of United
States Senator William E. Borah, who
will go to Washington soon to take hla
seat for the first time at the coming ses
sion of congress. '
Senator Borah haa received many tele
grams of congratulation from all parts- ot
ths country. In a statement today ha
said:
"I have but little to say. I waa tried
before an eminently able and 'fair judge '
and by a Jury of leading cltlsen of ths
district, men ot unquestioned standing.
We cross-examined but two of their forty
witnesses; made no objection to their Una
of evidence, although much of It wag
wholly Irrelevant; Introduced no witnesses
other- than myself; mads no argument to
the jury; the Jury was out eleven minutes
It was an exparte proceeding from tha.
beginning to the c:ose, and you all know
the reault. I atated to my Counsel In
ths beginning that there should be no
technical defense of any kind made, and
none Was made. 'I said in the commence
ment -of thla affair to my friend that tha
prosecution was actuated by personal and
corrupt motives, snd the above Record
ought to be sufficiently conclusive-on that
point. The evidence not only demonstrated,
my innocence of any wrong, bufthat Un
usual and exceptional rare was tsken at
all time by. my office to protect the titles
of my company. The Barber Lumber com
pany was clean In nil Its transaotlona.
"The stone and timber law la a piece
of Infamy as administered by the govern
ment. The government mskes a man
swear that he does not take It on specula
tion, and the department construe this
to mean he must not take It with view
of selling it. There Is not a man In the
Department of the Interior and presum
ably In the Department of Justice but
knows full well that ninety-nine men or
women out of a hundred take up , these
clolms with no other view than to sell
them as soon as thsy get titles, Notwith
standing this knowledge the government
continues to Issue final receipts and thus
connives st the doing of that whlah they
afterward seek to visit upon some on
aa a fraud."
