\7^HEN you clean 
^ ^ your walks and 
roads of weeds, do it 
thoroughly. Don’t be 
misled by plausible 
words to use anything 
for this purpose but 
the best and cheapest. 
There are other so- 
called weed killers, but 
“HERBICIDE” 
the original weed exterm- 
inator will most effectively 
and lastingly do the work. 
Here’s some of the evi- 
dence : 
“Please send us one keg 
of your “Electric Worm 
Eradicator.” Think we 
have enough “HERBI- 
CIDE” to do us for the 
season. Will want an- 
other barrel in the spring. 
Have tried other makes, 
but find none to equal 
** HERB1CIDE. ”

Notice to Bridge Engineers 
Architects and Builders 
The Board of Park Commissioners of 
the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, being 
about to connect by waterways the lakes 
of its Park System, is desirous of securing 
designs, detail plans, specifications and 
estimates for several bridges which shall 
be of such design as will suit the sur- 
roundings. 
For the purpose of obtaining such de- 
signs and plans from expert bridge engi- 
neers and architects, the Board offers 
$1,500 in three prizes, as follows: 
First Prize, $800 
Second Prize, 500 
Third Prize, 200 
The lakes to be connected by canals 
or waterways are three in number and are 
in a choice residential section of the city. 
They are encircled by park ways, the banks 
are beautifully wooded, and in their build- 
ing it is desired to construct the highest 
possible type of Park Bridges, such as will 
be beautiful and in harmony with the 
surroundings. It is hoped that the oppor- 
tunity afforded for monumental work 
will, even more than the prizes offered, 
induce tue best bridge architects and 
engineers of the country to enter into 
this competition. 
Prospective competitors can secure 
full information by addressing the Board. 
Designs and plans will be received by 
the Board until September 1, 1909, at 5 p.m.
