States, ifyou contemplate change Of
location, give Iowa visit before set
tling elsewhere. If once here we feel
satisfied all will be well. Oskaloosa,
well known abroad as the city cftrees,
from the largo number Of beautiful
shade trees that ornament its streets
and tho grounds ofits private residen,
ces, was laid out on the 18th Gay Of
May, 1914, by the Commissioners ap.
pointed for that purpose. It is the
seat ofjusticc Of Mahaska county, and
was at first named after the county,
but, almost Immediately the vote was
reconsidered end its present napo
adopted, II il located on rising
prairie, we'll ,sirted withtimber on thS
dividing ridge, nearly midway botweeh
Des Moines and South Skunk rivers.
Rain falling on the North side ofths
ridge finds its way to the Skunk river,
while that on the South side eventu.
ally swells the waters Of the Des
Moines. 1t is situated in one Of tho
richest and most fertile districts ofthe
State; and the sun shines not upona
better or more productive soil or more
loyal people than can be fouudi1
Mahaska. The county out Of pop.
u'ation Of 1876 in 1850 sent 1890
soldiers to the army, than whom1nono
have brighter record. The county
has at present a population If
abouut 10000, ranking, we believe,
about tenth of any in the State, while
in the production Of corn il. ranked
last year second. Its shipments Of
coal, with which its entire surface Is
underlaid, was last year far greater
chan any other county IN. the State;
reaching nearly 100000 bushels.
