Grading Contract Soon to be Let by the
Iowa Central.

A grade improvement contract,
amounting, in all, if finally authorized
as now planned, to quarter of mil
lion dollars, is to be let soon by the
Iowa Central Railway Company
drought its engineering department.
The contract will attract a large
number of prominent contractors
from this and other states. The
greater part of the grade improve
ment will be done between Marshall
town and Oskaloosa, this to include
the cutting down to grade of the
"beer garden hill," just east of Mar
shalltown which in itself is a heavy
piece of work. Other portions of the
line to be improved are between Ma
son City and Northwood and near
Keithsburg, Ill. The grade improve
ment alone will not constitute al the
work for in addition to this ballasting
is to be figured on.

A GOLF CLUB.
Oskaloosa' to Organize for the
Popular Game.

Golf is being talked in the city of
Oskaloosa as never before and there
is every prospect for the organization
of club during the approaching
season. There are number of golf
advocates in the city, people who
know the game, how to play it, when
to play it whore to play it, and what
to say when they play it. They know
about the tools with which the game
is played and know how truly fascin-
ating passtime the game may be-
come. Several lovers of out door ex-
ercises have been talking golf during
the winter and now they will make
an effort to get an organization
started that will push the good work
toward the desired end.
A number OF those who have been
prime factors in the Oskaloosa tennis
club are interested in the proposed
golf club. The courts of the club on
High avenue east will be destroyed
this season by the building of a couple
of houses on the site. Chas. E. LOT
land has been mentioned as president
of the association or club. Harry
Cammack, who is a member of the
Marshalltown club and who is fine
player as we'll as an enthusiast in all
that goes toward the making up of
the game has volunteered his SER
vices in the laying out of the grounds
and he will gladly support a club in
the city. Prof. Burnett of Penn Col
lege, is an enthusiast over the game
and is DESTROYS of seeing a club
started. Ralph Burnside, while on a
visit to distant city not long since,
was initiated into the mysteries OF
the game and he lifts up his voice in
support of the game and the forma-
ton of a club. The club if once
placed upon working basis will not
lack for substantial and sufficient sup
port. There will be little or no diff
ficulty in the securing of club grounds
and links and there is no reason why
Oskaloosa could not have one of the
best clubs in the state. There are
numerous ladies in the city who will
be pleased to have the club an as
sured fact and they are pledged Il
support the same by their presenc'
on the field in the official make up o
the organization.
The affair is being talked about a
never before and it is likely that SOM
practical work will be done in thu
near future.

AFTER POT HUNTERS
Game Wardens Garry Out the
Lacey Law.

Chicago, March 3O.--The close af-
filiation of the game and fish wardens
and game protectors of the neighbor-
ing states in the carrying out of the
state andi Lacey laws has been the

fines have been levied that should
tend to compel observation of and
respect for the laws on the part of
the many violators, who are composed
largely of market and pot hunters.

MAJORITY is OPPOSED.
Cuban Constitutional Convention
VIII Probably Reject the PIatt
Amendment.

Havana, March 30. - Senior Villu-
enda, of the committee on relations
of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton, has signed the report of Senior
Juan Gualberto Gomez, thus placing
a majority of the committee in OPP
position to the principal features of
the Platt amendment. Neither the
radicals nor the conservatives seem
anxious to put the question to an inn
mediate vote. The plan to send a
delegation to Washington first is be-
ing favorably considered. Little pub
lie interest is being manifested in
the outcome. The convention itself
is divided into warning political fac
tions, local politics being the chief
subject of discussion. Gen. Sanguilly
has sent in his resignation, alleging
that he could not abide by the vote
of the Havana republicans rejecting
the amendment. 1t is doubtful if the
convention would accept the amend
ment, as the republican delegates
from Santiago and Santa Clara,
though they have been repudlated by
their party for voting against the
amendment, still hold their seats.
Radically opposite views are held by
different groups of the same party,
and this tends to substantiate the
assertion of the conservative press
that the opposition to the amend
ment is centered in Havana and that
the delegates do not represent the
feeling of their constituents. split
is threatened in the national party
of Havana because of a resolution
adopted against the Platt amend
ment. Senior Tamayo, secretary of
state, has resigned from the party.
