TO LAY MORE TRACK.
Telegram From Chicago Authorizes
Work Begun Between LaMoille

Telegram From Chicago Authorizes
Work Begun Between LaMotlle
and Ontario.
Work was begun Thursday by corps
of gnen under the supervision of Chief
Engineer III. j. slifer, on the grading
for the new double track between La
Noble and Ontario, a distance of thir-
ty-three miles. The new work has been
authorized by telegram from the
Northwestern officials at Chicago, who
want as much of 1T completed as Is pos
sible before snow flies. 1t had not been
expected that anything would be done
this season West of LaMoille, and even
then it has been question for a long
time whether time would permit that
being finished. The matter lies now
wholly with the weather man. If the
winter season sets in as early this sea-
son as last the work will not be com
pleted. but Mr.. Sitter is hoping that
he will be assisted by a late winter.
The order from Chicago is not for
track laying exactly, but is to the eff
feet that light grading be done on low
ground that can not be reached in the
spring on account of the water caused
by melting SHOWS. There is big
change in the line east of State Cen
ter. where the present track is to be di-
verged for several hundred feet. This
is one of the heaviest pieces of work
along the entire line and could not be
hoped to be completed this season.
Three new graders camps will be in
stituted for the new work, one being
located at State Center, one at Ne
vada and the other at Ames. The new
track from Tama west to this city still
lays in pieces and new camp will be
organized in Montour to clean up the
district from Tama to Montour. The
Quarry camp will look after the same
matter between that place and this
lefty, While the LaMoille camp will have
in charge the work of cleaning up be-
tween this city and that point.

ON PRISON REFORM.
Lecture by student of Human cul-
ture Who Has Been Inside Prison

Walls.
Mr.. Leroy Berrier, president Of the
American Institute of Human Culture,
of Minneapolis. lectured in this city
Thursday night in the hall over No. 3
East State street. Mr.. Berrer spoke
especially on prison life and its effects
on those compelled to serve terms in
the penal institutions. He condemns
the present system of dealing with the
criminal classes and claims to speak
from experience, as he has recently
served a little over a year at the Still
water prison, having been convicted on
a charge of sending obscene literature
through the mails. The literature OBJ
jected to was some of his books on re-
form questions. Mr.. Berrier was par
doned by President Mckinley before he
had served his full sentence. He
is a man of intelligence, undoubt-
eddy sincere in his work, but some of
his theories will not meet with general
approval by the public. Mr.. Berrier.
expects to return here soon to address
some Of the women's clubs of the city.

The purchase of the land on which the

course the authorities Will pursue Is not

Mr.. Goddin owned a vast amount oil real
