SEWER CONTRACT SIGNED
Venske & Taylor, of Cottage Grove,
Will Soon Begin the Work of
Construction.
Messrs. Venske and Taylor, of Cot
tage Grove, returned to Dallas, Wed
nesday, and have already signed the
contract with the City of Dallas and
begun their preparations for the con
struction of the new sewer system.
They have advertised for men to
carry on the work and will require a
crew of from 30 to 40 In order to com
plete the work with the best possible
speed. As soon as the city engineer
has established the grade ground will
be broken on both Oak and Wash
ington street.
It is planned to have all the mains
and connections on the portions of
those two streets where macadam is to
be laid this Fall, completed before the
paving crew reaches those points, so
that it will not be necessary for the
new surfaces to be broken in digging
the sewer ditches. The only places
where the work of street building and
sewer construction can conflict are on
the blook on Washington street be
tween Main street and the Southern
Pacific depot, and at the Intersection
of Main and Oak streets.
The contract between the City of
Dallas and Venske & Taylor calls
for the completion of the system before
December 10, 1908, the sum to be paid
by the City for the new Improvement
amounting to $17,984.75. The con
tractors have agreed to furnish all
extras and install all additional con
nections etc., at the rates given in
their itemized bid.

The executive committee of the Polk
County School Children's Industrial
Fair has arranged to have the Fair
held In the Woodman Hall this year,
Instead of the college gymnasium
where it was previously held. This
Is more favorable location, being near
the central part of thecity, and requir
ing less labor and expense to prepare
it for the installation of exhibits. '
The dates have been set for Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday, September
30, and October 1 and 2, a more favor
able arrangement than ' that ot
previous years since It 'gives the
exhibitors a full day, Saturday, in
which to remove their exhibits, mak
ing It unnecessary for them to begin
to carry away the goods immediately
after the prizes have been awarded.
The management of the Fair is plan
ning to make Thursday, the second
day, an "Old Home Day," similar to
celebrations that are held in many of
the Eastern states, and are extending
to every person, formerly a resident of
Polk county, no matter where his or
her home may now be located, a cor
dial Invitation to be present at that
time. This new thing is expected to
be one of the most enjoyable features
of the Fair.
The big parade by the school child
ren of Polk county will be held accord
ing to the custom in the two preceding
Fairs and several prominent educators
from different portions of the state
have been secured to take part in the
evening programs.
Interest in the Fair and In prepara
tion of exhibits is greater among the
schoolchildren of Polk county than
ever before and there is not a district
that will not be represented by a
strong series of exhibits.
RANCHER BURNED TO DEATH.
As we go to press the report readies
