FEAST OF THE WOODMEN
Log Camp, Nj. W. A., Entertains Broth
ers from Madison and Other Places.

Log Camp, Nj. w. A., Entertains Broth
ers from Madison and Other Places.
The members of Log camp, No. 401
Modern Woodmen of America, were
hosts at business and social gathering
of much interest in lodge circles Satur-
day evening last. On that occasion
forty Woodmen from Madison, to-
gether with about twenty from Lake
Mills. Deerfeld, Cottage Grove and
London, responded to an invitation
from their Watertown brethren to visit
them. The strangers arrived over the
Northwestern road at 7:25, and were
met at the depot by the local camp and
the Watertown band. The line Of
march was then taken up to Turner
Opera house, in which the festivities
were held. On the way, however, a
stop was made on Main street bridge.
where the Madison team of Foresters
the uniformed class of the order
gave half-hour's drill. The men
showed themselves to be well skilled
IN the different maneuvers and their
excellent work was commended on all
sides.
At the Opera house Banyan camp,
No. 365, of Madison, exempliied the
work of the order IN fine style, four
candidates being initiated. The follow
ing took part: G. Jewett, V. c.; Geo.
Post. W. A.; Mr.. Tanberg, banker; E.
H. Nickerson, escort; Charles Hansen,
watchman; Prof E. E. Stevens, pia-
MIST. and the team of Fo1esters under
the direction of Deputy Head Consul
T. H. Love.
When the lodge work was finished
the Woodmen repaired to the lower
hall and partook of an elaborate ban
quet furnished by the ladies of the
Turner society. A neat souvenir of the
occasion was found a. each plate, being
a log made of birch bark and inscribed
"Log Camp, No. 401. M. w. A., Water
town, Wis" For these mementos the
Woodmen were indebted to the handi-
work of Mrs. Theodore Huber. After
the banquet Attorney G. z. Whelan, of
Madison, made an appropriate speech
which elected warm applause.
On the whole the occasion was very
enj oyable one, and the guests spoke in
highest praise of the royal entertain
ment and generous hospitality accord
ed them. The visit will no doubt be of
gratifying results to the home men, in
their interest in the work
of the order and in squirting on efforts
to increased membership.

PHILADELPHIA Especial. THE bat
tleship Iowa was launched from
Cramps ship yard. Never was more
successful launch. Federal, state
and municipal governments were rep.
resented by high dignitsries. Mary
Lord Drake, daughter Of the governor
Of Iowa, named the big naval baby
and broke bottle of champaign on
her great iron prov. As she did
she nervously murmured II christen
thee Iowa." Beside her stood her
father, members of his staff and other
distinguished Iowans. Secretary of
the Navy Herbert with prominent at
taches of his office, chief of the naval
bureau of Washington. senator's, MEM
bers of the house, members OF the
committee on naval affairs, were also
in attendance, and to add to this q
mighty herd of citizens were lined
along the shores within the radius of
q mile and the river was choked with
every sort of craft. After the cere-
mony everybody on the bow and plat
form shook hands with everybody
else and went into the long mould
loft for luncheon more felicitious.
Officially the Iowa is known as sea
going battleship No. l, to distinguish
her from the coast line battleships
such as the Indiana, Massachusetts,
and others. She is considered one of
the most perfect war vessels afloat.

A New Railroad.


jefferson, Ia-It appears to be an
established fact that the new Gulf and
Manitoba railroad will be built from
Kansas City north this season. The
discovery Of deep water on the Gulf
of Mexico and the lessening of the
cost of transportation of the Western
grain to Europe that q route would
open up has had the effect Of inter-
esting every town in the section
through which it is proposed to build
the line. The road is practically COM
pleted from Kansas City south to
Galveston, and the present objective
point is jackson, MINI. The towns
naturally on the proposed line are
Rockwell City, Superior Carroll, Poca-
hontas, Center, Greenfield, Guthrie
Center, Corning and Bedford, where
the Missouri boundary line is touched.
Track laying will begin at once from
Jackson, Mimi, south to connect at
Bedford, with the construction gang
that win work north from Kansas
City. The company proposes to strike
only county seat towns and as far as
possible those that have no north and
south lines.
