New Viwl | great COUNCIL BLUFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS VAUGHAN'SINAUGURAL, Matters Tou Lightly. me Important Upon Ver, The of Mayor Vaughan, which was given in yesterday's Brk, has called forth much comment, and gener- He setting forth the ad vantages, the growth and the flattering prospects of Council Blufls, and in these respects the document is one of and should be largely circulated aaa good advertisement for Council Blufts, inaugurat ally of a favorable nature went to lengths in value, One very important suggestion made in the inauguial will probably over: looked by many, as it is run in under the heading of “*Supervisors,” and but a very fow words are given upon it, as fol lows: *‘It is the general demand that all grading and dirt be done by the city and not by contract, and that the city pay the teamster for his daily work in lieu of the contractor.” This is a mat- ter in which the workingmen are espec ally interested, and it should not be passed over lightly. Tur Bi has lately shown up some facts as to how working- men have been used under the present mode of making improvements The fact is that their wages are made very be hauling direct | small, and_many are defrauded out of oven that little. The city has been let- ting its filling to the lowest bidders, but those bidding have put in fancy prices, claiming that the uncertainty of when and how they were to be paid must be covered by a margin, The city council has cared little about the price, feeling that the private property and not the city would have to pay for it. Theso contracts have been sub- let and sublet again, and men havo been hired, nomunally at $150 a day, but when it comes to settlement tind that thoy must take orders on storos, and dicker about, until they realize but little over £1 on a cash basis, and many have got no pay at all, The “oflicial paper” has attempted to smooth over the exposure made by Tii: Bk by saying that these workingmen must look out for themselves, and must seek redress in the courts. It declares that *“all the council has a right to know is that the contract is faith- fully carried out with the city, and in no case is the city respon- sible to the men who do the work.” Now, while ali this may be true techni- cally and logally, yet it should concern tho council whether the workingmen are being kept cut of their pay or nnt, and whether they are being defrauded ornot. It is supposed that the city council is to act for the interests of the entire city, and’ not merely for contractors. At election time they madea great harping on what they will do for the workingmen, but they seem to soon forget it. Some system should be adopted by which the workingman can have reasonable protection. Many of them fancy, until experience teaches them different, that of course a city con- tractor is a very important and responsi- ble individual, and in their eagerness for work, they go at it without reducing to writing all the conditions. They are not as well posted in legal technicalities as the aldermen, and yet they carn their money fully as honestly, and are entitled to some consideration besides what is paid them, when their votes are wanted. Mayor Vaughan ought to have spent more space in enlarging upon the import- ant suggestion made, and given it more prominence and force, Another oversight, intentional perhaps, was in regard to saloons, gambling houses and houses of prostitution. Tho saloon business just now is in as per- plexed a condition, that perhaps it was too tender a subject to touch upon just now, but he ought, at least in 8o elabor- ate a document, to have oxpressed him- self as to the gambling houses and houses of prostitution, The city has virtually been a partner in these houses, there being a practical agreement by which these places by paying certain amounts are not disturbed in their business. Mayor Vaughan has doclared sharply and clearly that the police personally shall not be allowed to lcunge about these places, or patronize them, but he does not indicate any line of policy con- cerning them. The better citizens are naturally eager to know whether the city 18 to be allowed to run riot in these re gards as it has for the past two years, provided the city treasury gots its & of the profits of ths business, M Vaughan ought not to have thus slighted this most important feature of the city government, or rather lack of govern- ment. — ‘The Committees. In appointing the standing committees of the council, Mayor Vanghan has dis- appointed the expectations of many in some respects. Many voted for Ald, Sie- dentopf because they believed now that he the most careful account- ants and beet financiers ever connected with the city government, and that he is re-clected, to the surprise of all, his old position as chairman of the finance com itee is taken from hum, andgivento Ald, McMahon, who is a good accountant and business man, even it he is equal 1o Ald. Siedentopf does not excel him, and there- fore the risk of the change, in the face of adverse public opi; does not seem warranted. Alderman = Keating, too, proved a good chairman of the fire com- mittee, but he is also relieved. It seems that Ald.

[ Wood River Gazotte, Nebraska Maplo Sugar. We have before urged the practicabili- ty of utilizing the soft maple trees, which are quite plonty hereabouts, for the mak- ing of sugar, as the oxperiments made during the past year or two show that it is altogother practicable, On the 12th, Frank CGibson tapped some of the treos at his placo in this city, and the sap flowed freely. o will tap all the trees this soason, and oxpects to make a good quantity of sugar. Experiments show that a good quality of sugar can ho made from the sap of soft maplo trees in this soction, and that it has the sugar-making qualities in a liberal degree, producing a8 fine sugar as is mado in the hard-ma- plo “‘camps” in tho oast. Those who have the trees should by all means try the experiment. They will bo agreeably induced hundreds of farmers in the crowded castorn states tosell out and peg out for the health-preserving hills and valloys of Nebraska, whero industry, activity and intelligence aro annually ro. warded. Cattle and corn are the great staples of the stato, gnd will remain so for yoars to come. While public ranges aro prac- tieally o thing of the past, private ranges are multiplying rapidly. The buffalo grase iy disappoaring with the incroased rainfall, and tame grasses are taking its place. This necessitates winter foeding and sheltering of stock, and while the cost of securing hay and other feed will increase the items of expense, the pre- vention of loss through sovere wintor storms will in tho end fully oflset this cost. Thus the size of herds will be lim- ited, the number of persons engaged in the business increased, and the profits as large and as suroas thoy have heretofore been. Wednesday, the 16th of April, has been designated by the state board of agriculture as Arbor Day, the annual tree planting holiday of the state. Liber- al premiums have been offered as an in- ducement to farmers and orchardists to sot out trees, both fruit and forest. the largest number of fruit, For forest and overgreens of all varioties, a cash prom- ium of $00 is offered; second bost For the greatest number of hardwood trees, $20; groatest number of cuttings, 310; tor the greatest number planted by any one person, 30, For the largest number of forest trees sot out or planted (exceeding 5,000) in the place they are to grow, and not less than four nor more than twelve feet apart each way, and put out during the year 1884, $30. State- ments in relation to planting on *‘Arbor Day” must be made under oath, with the attestation of two disinterested wit- nesses. Aside from the inducements offered by the state, every farmer should plant as many trees as his means andthe size of his farm will admit. They are necessary primavily as o shelter and they enhance the value of the farm by improving its appearance. Walnut and ash are consid- ored most suitable, of hardened trees, for Nebraska soil. The linden and bass- wood are the best honey producers and should be planted by all farmers engaged in beo keeping. Box elder and maple are great favorites for shade and orna- ment and grow rapidly, but the latter is straight grained and ensily broken by the winds, Seeding forest trees are not ex- pensive, and having moro fibrous roots, are more surc to live than trecs having soveral years' of growth, The work of planting and eultivating trees noed only be an employment for odd hours, and it is a cask that brings a good return, n Ranges, The range stockmen have been unfor- wnate. They did not look for so much snow and cold weather, after having a hard winter Just yoar, and did not pro- vide sufficient foed for their cattle, The fall rains washed the dry buflalo grass until it was almost worthless for stock, Then more than the usual amount of snow fell, and a crust formed so that cat- tle could not get to the ground, A large amount of corn has been shipped in, but thousands of cattle have died, as sufli- cient feed could not be got for all the stock in the valley. It wiil not be safe for stockmen to start into the winter hereafter with more stock than they can feed for one or twomonths at least. Formerly there woro no fall rains, and buffalo grass dried and made good winter feed, and not enough snow fell, as a general thing, to interfere with the cattle gotting it, But the climatic irregularity has changed all this, and Furnas, RRed Willow, Gosper, Frontier and Hitchcock countios will pass from stock to farming counties, —[Arapahoe Pioneer. A Change for the Better The tendency ameny the farmers of Central Nebraska scoms to be, every year, more and more in the direction of substituting corn and stock raising for the old fashioned business of producing wh and other small graing for the mar There is more money in corn and stock, and besides the adaption of our soil and climato to the production of small grain—especially wheat—is not what 1t used to be.

Agricultural Knights, The French ministor of agriculture has induced his government to encourage high class farming in a novel manner. A now order of knighthoodin France,known as ““The Order of Agricultural Merit,"” is to be specially reserved for agriculturists. It is intended to encourage farmers in solf-sacrifico and stimulate them to frosh exertions in their calling. A five pointed star, of green enamel, surmountod by a wroath of olive leaves, and supported by a groon ribbon with a pink edge, is the badge which this chivalrous order confors on the knights of the soil. The Kearney Press gots in some good work, and last week he fired two line shots as follows: * Money 85 to 50 per cent por annum, froight rates 40 per cont of Chicago value of products, taxes high and u high taritl, leaves the Nebraska farmer in the hands of shylocks, and makes of many of them sorfs.” “Tt is generally supposed that all good citizens oboy the law. All usurers violate the law. How can a church keep mem- bers within her walls who violate the law of Nebraska, the church dicipline and the commands of God! Respect- fully roferred to all the ministers of Kearnoy.” The Press is putting the knife into several putrifying sores, and when it struck the religious hypocrite, and the men who pray, for the purpose of de- ceiving their victims, stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, it makes Rome howl; but we are glad to note that the larger portion of the religious peoplo of that place stand by the Press m its efiorts to expose the rottenness of the religious, political bankers, who would sink the church,crush ot honesty, mock God, and pick their neighbors' pockets,—| Farmers' Advocate. The Corn Lister, A correspondent of the Tecumseh Chieftain says in regard to using a lister: Corn planted with a lister has the advan- tage of being planted in a freshly plowed land and will come up quicker and get the start of the weeds, giving a better chance to cultivate and keep down the woeds. 1 well know there have been many failures with the lister. There are farmers that fail with the planter also. To illustrate thedifference between plant- er and lister, T will give it thus: Forty acres planted with a pianter will require twenty-five days with man and team to plow and plant, while one man and team will plant the same amount of land with a lister in five days, thus saving twenty duys’ work, worth nearly forty dollars. KEqual cultivation will give eight bushels more to the acre in favor of the lister, making three hundred and twenty bush. els, worth sixty-four dollars—a difference on forty acres of corn, in favor of the lister, of cne hundred and four dollars, I use a lister and drill combined, double- tree seven fest long; use twelve-inch drop; shell no small grain, and thus avoiding more than one stalk in a place. Tolstein Oatt A writer in the Ohio Farmer says as follows of Holstcin cattle: From my ex- perience with them for four or five years, I can candidly give them the following good oualities: Perfoct tractability and good sense us calves; casily taught to drink, and not shy or wild; rapid growth into maturity on plain, coarse tood and very ordinary care; very deep milkers, a8 a breed, probably having no equals, cortainly no superiors; milking as a rulo (hroughout the entire year aud up to calving; good butter makers, We have sworn records of seventeen to twenty pounds in & week with the best.
