Syrup Plant Contract With Gu.
close Company Missing From
City Offices.
Effort to Be Made to Locate the

Sewage Pumps to Be Installed
at 0nce..-Right Of Way Matt
ter Postponed.

1t developed at the meeting of the city
council Monday evening that the copy
of one of the contracts entered into be-
tween the city of Marshaltown and the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company two
years ago is missing and can not be
found in the Office of the city clerk. The
missing contract is the important one
Of the two contracts existing between
the city and the company, as 1t binds
the company to erect, within one year
after the completion of the sewage dis
posal plant, syrup mixing to
employ at least $50 hands AT the. es-
ent time there is strong suspicion
that this contract may have been made
away with, as 1T was adopted at the
same time the sewage plant agreement
was reached and was filed away at that
time. That the first of these contracts
had been juggled, and an important
clause In regard to continuous operation
OF the plant or forfeiture of the $4,000
loan had been changed so 1t is effective
only IL the plant shuts down perina-
nently or moves away, is not new. as
the T.-R. one year ago had occasion to
investigate this and published the news
at the time. AT the meeting Monday
night Mr.. Fisher called up the matter of
these contracts, and asked that they be
read. City Clerk Shaw read one per-
tanning to the construction of the sew
age plant and said that was the only
one he could find In his office. A
lengthy discussion of the matter en-
sued, in which some Of the councilmen
inferred that there had been trickery on
the part of some one connected with the
previous administration. The senti-
ment expressed was that the contract
pertaining to the construction of syr-
up plant should be found and secured IL
that the sewage plant should
be put in readiness to operate at once.
and that the glucose company should
be notified that the disposal plant was
in readiness and the city would insist
on compliance by the company of its
part of the contract and commencement
Of work on the syrup mixing plant.

Bought the Properly

Yesterday one of the largest land
deals in a number of years took place
in this city. G.. E. Mack and Richard
kirman purchased all Of the property
owned by Elkan COIN in Carson Val
ley. The cash consideration was in
the neighborhood of 100000. The
Cohn holdings in Carson Valley have
been regarded as among the best IN
that fertile district, while the water
rights are the best in the Valley.
Nearly all of the property is under
lease to different farmers and there
is no doubt but that the Investment
is one of the best made in some time
Elkan Cohn has held the property fol
many years and OF late has been law

A Good Scheme

Several parties who are interested
in mining locations west Of this city
are talking OF organizing co-Opera-
tive company. The scheme is to Sc.
cure the signatures Of number OF
people who will put up one dollar
month and from the revenue to run
tunnel into the mountain where the
work has been carried on It is well
known that several rich lodges cross
the hills in that direction and by run
ming a joint tunnel through the many
claims it will develop each in the
same manner This will also give the
claim owners more depth to the work
than any one individual would secure
in many years work.
Some arrangement of this nature
should be made. Most of the men
owning claims are possessed OF limi-
ted capital and the failure of finding
metal in any quantity will about break
them as we'll as discourage others
who are in the same locality. The
few dollars that it takes to carry on
cooperative plan of work would a,
mount to nothing, compared to what
the individuals are paying out. The
idea is to bind each individual to pay
certain sum for one year and it is
figured that in that time with expert
enced miners the ground now located
plan is worth trying and it is to b.
hoped that it will be given blacl

years eve the new compound Atlantic
type engine, No. s2l. made the eighty
FIVE and tWo-tenths miles from Chicago
to MiIwaukee IN eighty-seyen minutes,
or one hour and tWenty-seFen minutes.
The previous record Is said to have
been one hour and thirty-tWo minutes
and the fastest schedule Of the MIlEzu-
kee calls for the run IN one hour and

four-tenths miles Of the distance BE-
tween Caledonia and Lakewood the
train maintained a speed OF q tribe
over 1O2 miles per hour. The distance
between these two stations. three and
four-tenths miles. was made In exact
ly two minutes
Considering the fact that no prepare
ton was made for the run, and con-
sidering the conditions. the run Is re-
markable. The train left Chicago at
1918 p. m, twenty minutes late, the
engine hauling six sixty-fOOt mail and
express cars, and arrived az Milwaukee
at 11:42, just two minutes late. The
two terminals required slow time and
there were slow downs for i've railway
