A representative of the Times Repub-

disposal plant with view to noting the
progress of the work, its approach to
completion and the nature and methods
of the labor being performed there.
Every resident of the city is or should
be interested in the plant. Its compile
ton and successful operation mean
much to Marshalltown; how much can
not be readily realized without visit
to the field of operations and knowl-
edge of the amount of labor and money
expended. The sewage disposal plant is
o great undertaking for a city of this
size and when finished, If it successfully
serves the purpose for which 1t is
erected, will be source of great pride
to our people and the greatest mark

The striking feature of the plant is the
battery of septic tanks, which are with
in a few days of completion and are the
first seen and most striking portion of
the plant. Imagine huge vat 100 feet
long on the water lire, seventy five feet
wide and eleven feet deep, flaring from
the bottom to the top at an angle of As
degrees, walled with cement like els
tern. Put three of these side by side,
east and west, with six-inch pipes lead
ing into the west end of each. and there
you are. These tanks are finished with
the exception of their east ends, most of
which is nearly done. and the coping
which will surround them on the top.
These are the tanks which will receive
the eftiuent directly from the main sew
er leading from the city and where the
germ with the Latin name, which works
in darkness and without air, is sup
posed to get in its work toward purify
ing the mass of sewage. These are the
settling tanks. Here the heavier organic
portion of the effiuent is allowed to set
tie to the bottom of the tank with

WEDNESDAYS RACES.
Marshalltown Teams Win Three Fi,s
Prixes-Novelty Record Broken.

4 q .
MarshalItown Teams Win Three First
Prizes-Novelty Record Broken.
Things went slow Wednesday after
noon at the race track. with the excep-
ton of the running teams. They were
not 30 slow. especially the Pierce team
and the c. A. Buchwald amateur team,
both OF this city. The lateness OF the
parade delayed the starting of the
events. then an accident to one of the
two running carts put 1t out of service
temporarily and the game cart had to
be put In condition for each team thus
causing further delay between races.
Again not as many teams were present
on the opening day as expected and but
-four contested during the afternoon.
These were the two Marshalltown
teams and the West Liberty and La
Porte teams.
One state record was broken during
the afternoon. when the Pierce team OF
this city clipped 3-5 seconds or its own
record Of IS 3-5. made at Cedar Rapids
last year, and made the runtand compli-
Gated couplings in the novelty hose race
IN SO fiat. The audience on the opening
day filed the amphitheater and huns
sdreds Of others looked on over the track
fence and spent the time intervening
Sbetween races in watching the wheels
go round.
The first event of the afternoon was
the straightaway hose race, with only
.the two Marshalltown teams entered.
5 The amateur C. A. Buchwald team ran
frst. and covered the distance in 81 sec
onds. which is excellent time. The
Pierce team made the run 8 AS seconds
faster, in % is and thus secured first
money, $50. The second purse was $40.
In the novelty hose race there were
four entries. the two Marsha,ltown
teams and those of West Liberty ana
LaPorte. In this race the teams ran
800 feet, laid 200 feet of hose. uncoupled
the fourth section, dropped back to the
third, put in fourth section and att
tached nozzle to the third section. La
Porte ran first and covered the 300 feet
in good time, but was slow In making
! the various couplings. the officiai vine

team, which came to the tournament
against the wishes OF It's citizens and
city council and without financial as
distance from its home town, and also
without practice and training, was the
sGEcond team to contest in this race. The
boys came thru in good shape, made an
excellent coupling and was given the
time OF Al 2-5. The F. G. Pierce team
