The report Unit the oitv will this
winter undertake the tusk of elenninp
up the clmnucl nml banks o Uear
crock within tho city limits is prob
nfoly not wholly true, but it w n. pos
sibility thnt the city would co-operate
with projMjrty owners whose lots
reach the creek banks in the matter
of clearing away the debris when a
freshet conici to niit In the work.
The collected Imwli and weeds and
other rubbish could be pitched into
the. stream when tho water is hijh
cuoii:h to carry it away and thus
disponed of.
There has been no freshet for threo
years of sufficient volume to 'carry
away the collection of rotting weeds
and other refuse, on the banks. The
lesult is that much has collected
there to n cotibiderable depth. Its
decomposition is hastened by the rain
and its bulk, until filthy odors em
anate from many such piles of bluff
uleiu: the banks in the citv limits. It
lccpiires no extraordinary sense of
discernment to roalizo that it) the
summer time this condition will seri
ously menace the health of the city
pnrticuhujy thnt portion of it that
rcides near tho creek.
During the time of the first freshet,
should wo be favored with one this
winter, properly owners and the city
should co-operate in tho matter of
cleaning nway these piles of unsight
ly and unwhole.xome debris. It would
greatly improve the appearance of tho
stream within tho city, on the banks
of which, in several places, shady
nooks and crannies could he made
very attractive for luncheon and pic
nic parties, intcud of catch-nils for
dirt and filth in many repulsive
forms.

seldom frequent tho theater. Through
a icligioui and artinlicallv subtle nt
niosphcie, coupled with the upsur
p.iscil histrioiiie ability of Foibes
Jt'obcrtsoii, iU appeal to the highest
