Re. '
W. H. Meyers, a representative of the
Stanford Oil company, was In the city yes
terday seeking tn Intercut Alderman Mln
ntck. chairman of the st rvets and alleys
committee of the council. In the purchase
of a trial order of a couple cars of road oil
for street sprinkling. He waa equipped
with an array of xutlstlcs gathered from
cities where the use M oil haa completely
superseded water, all Indicating the In
comparable advantages of the oil In rela
tion to cost aa well a efficiency.
Mr. Meyer had sample of a special
heavy oil that requires an application' of
nljr two or three times a year, completely
quieting; the dust snd preserving- the pave
ment. Statistics gathered here from other
cities confirm the statements of the oil
salesman. .
At Lynn, Mass., a lighter nearly crude oil
waa Used last year, reducing the cost of
treat sprinkling more than $2,000 and com
pletely abating the dust nuisance. At Holy
oke, Mara, "till hotter results were ob
tained from the use of a heavier oil. Mayor
Maloney and Alderman Mlnnlck have de
cided to consider the requests of a number
of cltixens and make a trial of the oil. The
first will be used on Lower Broadway on
the macadamized portion of the street. The
brick pavement on portion of other streets
will then be experimented upon. The ex
perience In other cities where the heavy
oil haa been used on brick . surfaces show
It haa assumed almost the consistency of
asphalt, filling the interstices and making
the pavement smoother and more noiseless.
The agent yesterday offered to lay the oil
down here at 83 li cents a gallon. It con
tains 60 per cent petroleum asphalt, but
can be used In a common street sprinkler.
'Great sanitary advantages are also claimed
for the oil aa well as increased facilities
for street aweeplng at reduced cost. The
rder for the trial shipment will be given
at the meeting- of the council.

; t Mayor Maloney haa keen very much gretl-
. tied by Information received from the West

euid confirmed by the telephone people,
that arrangements have practically been
made by which the telegraph oempanlee w4U
' use the telephone conduits for underground
Ins their wires within the limits prescribed
by the ordinance recently enacted by the
, city council. The Western Union has eon
' xluded Its arrangements and negotiations
with the Postal are pending-.
With the consolidation of the two tele
phone systems the Bell people 'find them
selves with a surplusage of wire conduits
covering the streets In the central part' of
the city. Each built with provisions for the
growth of many years In the future, and
each system haa from si te a dosen empty
conduits which can be profitably leased
for a long- term of yeara Utilisation of
these conduits will remove the necessity

Benton stret this etfernooa at I 30 o'clock
for the purpose of asseselna- tha cost of
the pavm that has been appropriated by
the street railway company for Its car Una
extension. While there the council will
also determine the width to be established
between the curbs on North Harrison
street on the portion that Is to be paved
between. Hyde avenue and Fleming- ave
nue. The distance between the curbing- on the
lower part of Harrison street Is thirty
two fMt, and since the car line will finally
reach Harrison street by traversing ths
full length of Benton it haa been decided
to add considerably to the width of the
portion of Harrison now ordered paved.
It will be either thlrty-alx or thirty-eight
feet, adding considerably to the cost of
the . paving. The establishment of a
greater width may aiso result In giving
the rurMng coo tract to Peter Nelson. His
bid Is half a cent per llr.eal foot under
that filed by B. A. Wlckham A Co., but
he asked cents per cubic yard for all
grading requlrod, while Wlckhams bid
was cents. If the street is left thirty
two feet wide Wlckham will get the eon
tract by a narrow margin, but If It la
widened the grading will be correspond
ingly less and Nelson s bid will be lowest.

Asks Observance
of Mothers' Day
Mayor Calli Upon All in City to Fay
Deration Next Sunday wnen
Say Cornea.
Mayor Malonsy yesterday issued a proc
lamation calling for the observance of
"Mothers' day." which falls on next Bon-
day. He calls attenUon to the fact that It
Is being observed all over the country and
he urges Council Bluffs people . to be
equally thoughtful and give seme evidence
ef affectionate remembrance of the mother.
living or dead, whose sacrifices were
greater than could be appreciated at the
moment.
For the purpose of observance each per
son is requested to wear en Sunday some
kind of a flower as an evidence of their
affection for mother. ' '
'Mothers' day" really pomes from the ex
alted Ideals of pure womanhood entertained
by President McKlnley, who for many
years never faited to wear a roee. carna
tion or lily on the anniversary of his
mother's blrthdsy. He continued it to the
last It was this tender regard that led
to the establishment of the practice of
wearing a carnation on "McKlnley day,"
the anniversary ef his birth. Three yeara
ago the Woman's Christian Temperance
union took up the matter through the press
and a universal and almost spontaneous
response followed. The origin ef the cus
tom Is also attributed to Miss Anna Jarvts
of Philadelphia, who for many years wore
a white flower on the anniversary of her
mother's death. It was sbs. also., who sug
gested that the second Sunday tn May
should be fixed as ths date for the annual
oberveee. The observance, therefore, ex
presses rejoicing and sorrow, commemo
rating the birth and death of mother.
The day will be observed In all ef the
Council Bluffs churches by some special
features, while thousands of people who
never attend any church will wear the
flower lovingly for mother's sake.
