had been pretty fully discussed In the news
paper and elsewhere and no trouble was
encountered In presenting the matter
quickly and lucidly.' It waa evident from
the start that favorable action would not
be taken, and after a few Incisive questions
were asked, Member Capell moved the
resolution that the board refuse to submit
the proposition to the taxpayera. and It
we carried by the unanimous vote. Miss
Officer Intimated that mandamus proceed

Submission, and the attorneys on the board
were not prepared to ay that she had not

FINANCES OP THF. PARK
Report mt Coadltleias Made
Aadltnr.
The management of the extensive public
park system of Council Bluff for the last
year haa been of an excellent character
as Indicated by the report made last even
ing by City Auditor McAneney, who Is
the secretary of the board. It dealt en
tirely with the financial end and showed
that tha total amount f receipts from
all sources since the beginning of the
fiscal year, April I to February 1, was
$11,183.53, and that a very substantial por
tion of this Income was yielded by the
park themselves. The park concession
yielded a net revenue og $506.88, and the
aale of surplu park animals for the In
crease of the deer and elk herds was
$1,021.15. leaving $9.636.M to be credited to
the park fund tax collections.
The report shows that the expenditures
were kept well within the Income. The
expenses for the first nine month of the
fiscal year. Expenses arawn from the
general fund to Febtuary 1. total $4.526 04,
miscellaneous expenses, $9US07; expended
for permanent Improvement, $2.2S.6; mak
ing the total expenditures for the nine
months, $.3M. W. The general fund cov
er all of the expense of salaries for the
paik commlaalunet and the regular pay
roll of employee. f-ed for park animals
and general maintalnance. The Income of
I1.5T4 from the parka more than pays all
of the expenae of maintaining all of the
park animate, and the feed now on hand
will be sufficient to lat until the end of
the fiscal year
The financial report also shows that there
haa been collected from the special levy
to provide another est end park the sum
of $4,121.69. The 4Utlou of expending
this money and plans for the genersl wel
fare of the parka were Informally dls
cused. but no action taken. It waa evident
that there will la a balance In the park
fund at the end of March of more than
$2,000. which w'll not Include the March
tax turnover fiom the county treasurer,
which will approximate $4.(14). and the
board will have ample funda fur prosecut
ing the plana that are now about matured
for the permanent park improvements that
will be made during the year. These are
not of a nature to be given out at the
present time.

Supervisors Fix
New Drainage Ditch
on Nishnabotna
Poital Card Vote Determine! Action
According to Number of Periona
Who Receire Benefit.
The Board of County Supervisors yester
day established the Nishnabotna drainage
ditch, although the canvass of the postal
card vote of the Interested land owner
showed a very large majority of the owner
and a small majority of the acreage In
volved to he against It. The Journey afoot
of the members of the board 'last week
along the tortuous convulsive course the
stream had made for Itaelf apparently had
aome weight In Influencing the decision of
the board that the channel should be
straightened and prevented wondering so
aimlessly through the richest farm land
on earth. The final decision, however, was
reached by an original and Just method.
The postal card vote showed J.440 acres
against the proposition and $.077 In favor
of It. After giving the farmer favoring the
ditch the benefit of not counting In the
original canvass two tract of eighty acre
each whose owners had filed protests there
waa still 433 acres over and above tha re
quired amount to make a majority of
those protesting against the Improvement.
On the face of the returns It looked aa if
the objectors had won their hard-fought-for
victory, but Attorney W. H. KUlpack,
who had been retained by those favoring
the ditch, pointed out the unfairness of
considering the protests of the men least
benefitted on equal term of those whoae
land would receive the greatest benefit.
At hi suggestion the board agreed to al
low one vote for every acre receiving 100
per cent benefit, one vote for each two
acres In the BO per cent class and one vote
for each four acres of the lands classed as
JS per cent benefitted.
Thl gave the farms needing the drain
age most a chance against the overwhelm
ing majority of the acreage receiving lesser
benefit, and appealed by Its fairness to all
present. When the canvass was made on
this basis It was found that there were
only l.iVO votes against and about 2,300 fav.
orng the ditch, and the board Immediately
passed the resolution establishing It.
The estimate of damage waa also greatly
reduced, nearly ,000 below the estimates
fixed by the engineer, and approximating
only about $21,000.
If Attorney Frank Shlnn of Carson makes
good his threat thb big enterprise is not
yet fully launched. He represents about
two-thirds of the land owners besides the
people of Carson, whose flour mill, elec
tric light and water pumping plants will
lose their water power. They claim that
this property Is worth $:,000 and In the
estimated damage It is awarded $4,700.
lawyer Shinn has declared that the mat
ter will be immediately taken Into the
district court and carried further If neces
sary. The estimated cost of the ditch Is
above $90,000.

a way to keep the brain and the body in
that harmonious co-operatlun which makes
a Joy of Jiving.
"Two yeara ago," she wrlie, "being in a
condition of nervous exhaustion, 1 re
signed my position a teacher, which I
had held for over 40 years. Since then
the entire rest has, of course, been a ben -fit,
but the use of Lirape-Nuta liaa removed
on great cause of Illness In the past,
namely, constipation, and Its attendant
evil.
"I generally make my entire breakfast
on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls
of Urape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or
hot water added. 1 like it extremely, my
food asalrmlatea. and my bnwela lake care
of themselves. I find my brain power and
pliyahal endurance much greater and I
i know that the uae of the Urape Nuts haa
contributed largely to this result.
"It ta Willi feelings of gratitude that I
write thla testimonial, and trut It may
be the means of aiding others In their
search for health." Nsme given by
