FEDERAL BUILDING SITES.
Bids Should Be Offered On Ground as
Near the Requirements as Possible.


Near the Requirements as Possible.
The advertisement for bids for cites
for the federal building appeared in
Tuesdays issue of the T.-R. 1t will be
noted that the specifications state "a
corner lot, approximately 14OX160 feet,
is required" however this is mere ar
bitrary ruling of the treasury depart
ment and is undoubtedly subject to
change for the reason that the law 1t
self as passed by congress merely states
that in acquiring sites the secretary or
the treasury shall take into consider
alton the present and future needs OF
the city land in no case shall he acquire
a site unless the diminslons thereof are
of sufficient size for a building that Will
accommodate all the government offices
now located or likely in the near future
to be located in said city"
The law itself provides on page "a
of the house bill THAT the limit of
cost of site in each city mentioned in
this section shall not exceed Is per
cent of the total limit of cost for site
and building herein fixed" and the sec
rotary of the treasury is ordered not
to purchase until he is satisfied that
the price is right.
In making proposals for sites prop
erty owners should not be governed alb
solutely by the advertised requirements
since the treasury department is free
handed in the matter and can change
its specifications at will to suit cir
cumstances. Since most lots in Mar
shalltown are $50 feet deep it would be
permissible TO offer site 120X1S0 feet
or as nearly "approXimating' the re-
quired 140xl60 as possible 1t should
be remembered in making bids that all
buildings now on the land are to be re-
moved within thirty days at vendors
expense and that the price should be
made on bare ground alone.
Property owners in all parts of town
should also bear in mind that an option
has long been held by East Main street
property holders on the Boardman resi-

MAKES A WISE ORDER
Carnival Company will Allow
No Promiscuous Shooting OF
Fireworks.
Big Display Will Be in the
Hands of Special Pyrotech-
MIC Experts.

| A very sensible move on the part of
| the Marshailtown Carnival Company in
connection with the mammoth display
of fireworks which is to be made on
| is the announcement that no fireworks
of any nature whatever will be per-
United inside the enclosure excepting
the big $4,000 display. This great dis
play will be in the hands of experts who
will accompany the shipment to Mar
shalltown and have entire charge of the
exhibition. That the promiscuous dis
charge of fire-crackerS, fireworks, etc,
among SO large a crowd as Will witness
the Fourth of July display is dangerous,
the company realizes fully and have
taken every precaution to make the
carnival grounds the safest place in
town during the day and evening of the
Fourth. An extremely large and thor
oughly competent special police force
will patrol the grounds and prevent and
disorder or breach of responsibility. The
carnival grounds will be made entirely
safe for women and children as well as
for those stronger and better able to
care for themselves. The intention of
the company is to make their great ex-
hibition record breaker, not only in
point of attractiveness from its show
features and spectacles but from the
point of cleanliness, good order and
moral tone. No one need fear to come
and bring his family. The carnival
ground will be made safe and respect
able in every way.

BOYS MARROW ESCAPE.
YOUNG Son of Auditor Hargrave Comes
Near Losing Life Late Tuesday At


Master Wade Hargrave, the 7-year-
old son of County Auditor and Mrs. f..
W. Hargrave, came near losing his life
as the result of an accident Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. Teamsters are
engaged in hauling dirt back of the
Hargraye \ residence on North Third
street, for the purpose of filling low
place. Master Hargrave was riding
with one of the men, and upon the
wagon passing over a small rut the jar
threw the lad from the wagon seat.
One of the rear wheels passed over his
body Just above the hips and passing
upward along the spinal column
reached and passed over the neck. AT
first 1T was thought the boy was killed
but an examination by a physician
showed nothing but bad bruises ana
slight abrasions of the skin where the
wheel had passed. Strange to say no
bones were broken. The attending ply
sician states that 1t was one of the
most miraculous escapes ever coming
to his notice and thatNa similar accident
could not probably happen once IN a
million times without serious or fatal
injury. The wagon was very heavily
loaded with wet dirt packed hard.

FLETCHER N[N ROLE
Lieut.. Commander in Navy As.
signed to Important Duty at
Newport, R. |.
Has Charge OF the Governments
Torpedo Station at That
Point.
First Time in History OF Navy
Man OF His Rank Placed in
Such a Position.

| Lieut. Commander Frank Friday
| Fletcher, of the United States navy
has been hcnored by his government
| by being stationed in one of the most
important positions on the Atlantic
coast, and to a station that has never
before, in the history of the navy, been
filed by man of his rank. Mr..
Fletcher has been given charge of the
torpedo station at Newport, r. l.
The news of the promotion of the
former Marshalltown man to the tm-
portant station will be received with
much qualification by the lieutenant
commanders many friends here. Here
tofore the officer in charge has beei-
either a commander or one of even
higher rank. AS consequence the
honor to Lieut.. Commander Fletcher is
great, indeed, and especially is it con-
sidered so in naval circles, where such
recognitions come very few times in a
lifetime.
The torpedo station OF which Lieut..
Commander Fletcher is 20 have charge
Is highly I'M ortant part Of the gov
ernments possession. The manufacture
of new process smokeless powder Is
carried on at this point, and will be I'M
der his supervision. He is also to have
charge of the instruction and use OF
torpedoes. the manner of handling the
same in firing also the care of the tor
redoes.
At Newport also there is located q
naval training station for apprentices,
who are made sailors. and war
college for post graduate work for Of
fcers.
The position. while naturally carry
ing with it many responsibilities, has
its pleasant attributes as well. The
government furnishes Mr.. Fletcher
with fine residence, manned by serv-
ants. gardeners, coachman and the like.
and private yacht that may be placed
at his service at any time.
Lieut. Commander Fletcher was a
member OF the same class at Annapolis
as Lieut.. Commander Walter S.
Hughes, who is now visiting in the
city. Each has reached the same rank.
and each has made an excellent record.
Mr. Fletchers last duty was in COM
mand of the Eagle. converted yacht
During the Spanish American war a
position was created for him at Wash
;ngton, and he was made assistant
chief of the bureau of ordnance. 1t is
stated that Mr. Fletcher's inventions
alone have been worth s100,0!o to the
government. His principal achieve
ment was the solving of the best meth
DDS of constructing a recoil mount for
rapid-f fire guns. His recoil mount is in
general use in the entire navy.

dence property opposite the Pilgrim no.
tel, at $4,000. which, If still in force,
would enable that site to be offered at
a very low figure and within the 10 per
cent limit and ii is in every way very
desirable site excepting that 1T is not
centrally located. 1t would be we'll for
people owning property facing the court
house square to unite on some one
site there which could be offered at
very low figure since the location OF the
federal building on any one OF them
would greatly enhance property All
around the square. 1t is unfortunate
that so much of this property is owned
by widows and very old men who are
not able to seize their best opportunl-
ties. 1t would be unfortunate II the
building should be located far to either
end of Main street for a great deal OIL
strife would be engendered. 1t should
also be understood that the govern
ment will take every advantage 1T can
get and would not refuse to accept
site for nothing if bidding should be-
come very active. A common under
standing among property holders and
bids as low as possible on three or four
desirable sites offered would be the
happiest solution.

Want MORE MONEY
General Superintendent Sweeney
Has Meeting With Conductors
and Brakemen.
Employees Want Standard Pay
and More for Overtime-Re.
suit Not Yet Known.
Superintendent Feels That They
Should Not Ask Same Wages
Paid on Trunk Lines.

Locking toward the adoption of q
in favor of the trainmen employed OH
the road, General Superintendent M
Sweeney, of the Central, held a con
ference with "a committee from the
conductors and engineers Tuesday at
Oslkaloosa. The committee of the tain
men was composed of Conductors
Frank Snyder and James Peacock and
Brakeman George Gladson. The train
men have never had a schedule, and
are not receiving quite standard pay.
and it is to talk over the situation and
attempt an amicable agreement thas
the conference was held.
Standard pay for trainmen Is 3 cents
brakemen, and on the Central the con-
ductorS receive $3.50 per 100 miles, ana
the brakeman $1.90, or one-tenth I'M
der standard. They receive no over
time unless out two hours and thirty
five minutes, while the standard rules
call for ten miles, or one hours work,
after thirty-five minutes.
Mr.. Sweeney, who arrived in the City
Tuesday evening on his business car.
No. ZOO attached to No. 3. said that no
definite decision was arrived at and
that another meeting would probably
lie held some time next week. MI.
Sweeney is not in favor OF granting the
increase asked. and thinks that TIC
trainmen should be satisfied. "Of
course their claim that they have Go
work as hard on the Central as they
would on n larger road Is true. but they
should not expect the same pay. | dc
rot get the salary that the general su-
lerntendents of the Northwestern
Goes, and Eave to work just as hard
as he. The Central is smaller road
its earning capacity is much smaller
FER mile than trunk line, and 1T can
rot afford to pay quite as much as the
large roads,
Mr. Sweeney stated that the matter
of overtime was practically disposed of
and that the company would grant
what was asked.
The passen ger men do not figure In
the new schcdulejat all, for they are
employed by the month. The wages for
all main line passenger runs will be in
creased, the new top price being $110
