APPEALS TO
The New Commander OF the Grand
Army in Iowa Wants All Vet
Grams to Join Posts.
Especial correspondence.l

The new grand army commander,
John Lindt, of Council Bluffs, is fully
determined that the posts of the G.
A. r. all over the state shall carry
out the policy he outlined in his
brief address made at the installa-
ton exercises. He emphasized to the
veterans present the necessity of get
ting all of their comrades into the
posts. The mortality is naturally in
creasing among them every year, and
the only way to keep the organiza-
ton strong temporarily is to enlist
every soldier as a member. At pres
ent a great many do not belong to
the order, and it will be the policy
of Commander Lindt to see that as
many of these are brought in as pos
sible. He will endeavor to make this
work one of the features of his adj
ministration.

WORK MAPPED OUT.
state Geological Board Decides Upon
Plans to Be Pursued the
Ensuing Year.
Especial correspondence.l

L
The state geological board at its
session in Des Moines recently do
cided upon the work for the ensuing
year. This was recommended by
State Geologist Calvin, and consists
of the following: First, the ,prosecu-
ton of the special work on clays, by
S. w. Boyer; the collection of data re-
lating to artesian wells, by Prof. w.
H. Norton, and the study of the dis
tribution and availability of the ce-
ment rocks of Iowa, by Frank A.
Wilder. Second, the prosecution of
areal work in Clayton county, by A.
G. Leonard; in Mills and Fremont
counties by J.. A. Udden; in Benton
by Prof. Savage; in Winnebago, Han
cock and Kossuth, by T. H. Macbride.
and in Chickasaw, by Samuel Calvin.
Prof. Calvin reported to the state
board upon the extent of the work
of the geological survey up to date,
which may be summarized as fol
lows:
Eleven volumes Of the regular geolog-
ical series and one bulletin of the natural
history series nave been printed and dis
tributed, while Volume XII. of the Geolog-
ical Report is now in the hands of the print-
er. Thus far the edition of each volume has
been limited to 5000 copies, but the edition In
each case is exhausted almost as soon asst
is issued, and the demand is far in excess
of the supply. OF the volumes issued sever
are devoted wholly to reports on areal work,
the others being given more or less COM
pletely to special subjects. Volume II. gives
the information respecting coal which was
at ham at the date of Its publication. Vol
ume VI. has reports on the Sioux quartsite,
the lead and zinc ores of Iowa, INK ,artesdan
wells of the state, Since the publication of
Volume VI. the collection of data relating
to new wells has been continued by Prof.
Norton and kept up to date. For some time
Prof. Boyer has been at work on the clays
and clay industries of Iowa, and we shall
soon have the pleasure of offering forfpub-
LEGATION his complete monograph on these
important subjects. The report on Web
ster county by Prof. Frank A. Wilder, soon
to appear in Volume XII, contains an ex-
haustive presentation of the gypsum and
gypsum industries of Iowa. 1t is necessary,
however, to have. the detailed geological
work practically finished in the several
counties before special subjects, such'as the
building stones, lines, cements, clays and
Goals can be treated with satisfactory full
ness. The number of counties in which the
survey is complete is SO; when Volume XII.
is issued the number on which reports are
published will be so. The work iE seven or
eight other counties is partially complete.
Such is a brief outline of the plans followed
and the work accomplished by the survey to
this date.

DECISIONS.
Cases Involving Liabilities of :
Building and Loan Concerns.
Especial Correspondence

lSpeSial SoiISSpOICeIlCe.J
The supreme court has decided sew
eral cases involving the liability of
building and loan companies upon
their contracts to investors. The
cases decided were those brought by
the stockholders in the Eastern
Building and Loan association of
Syracuse, N. Y, upon the certificates
issued by that concern. These were
in the eastern building and loan firm.
and provided that at the end of rs
months the investor should receive
at least par upon his stock if he
made the agreed monthly payments.
Several people made these payments.
and the company then said that the
stock had not matured, and the pay
ments would have to continue until
that time arrived. The supreme court
holds that the contract made by this
company was specific in it's charac-
ter, and it is bound to pay the face
value of the shares of stock at the
end of the 6h-year period. The SUI
preme court doubts the mutually of
a concern hat makes a specific on
tract of this character and whose
management is maintained exclusive
ly in the general officers by requir-
ing investors to deposit the proxies
for their stock with the officers be-
fore the certificates issue. Inferen-
tally this decision affects all build
ing and loan contracts of practically
all companies, and it is believed that
a large amount of litigation may re-
suit. Of it's decision upon one of
the cases in question the court said:
"There is nothing in the nature or organi-
cation of the defendant which can or ought
to relieve it from the performance Of it's
contracts. The fact, if it be a fact, that in
the end 1t may not be able to pay the claims
of other members, is a matter we cannot
consider. We are not charged with the
duty of winding up the affairs of the corpo-
ration or settling the rights of members
upon a final distribution of its assets. If
any. Our only duty at this time is to con-
strue the contract on which suit is brought
and to enforce it accordingly. The action is
held maintainble."

A VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN.
Western Iowa Newspapers Investi-
gate One Situated, in the Bluffs
Near New Castle, Neb.
Especial Correspondence.l


Some of the western Iowa newSpa-
pers have investigated the volcanic
mountain located across the river in
Nebraska and known as Mount Iona.
This peak is situated in the bluffs
overlooking the Missouri river not far
from New Castle, Neb., ana six miles
west of Elk Point, S. d. This vol
cano has been smoking from the ear
lest time. The Indians declare it
has been smoking from the begin
ming of their traditions. New inter-
est naturally enough has attached to-
this natural phenomena since the
terrible eruptions in the Antilles.
The alleged volcano is on the Ne
braska side of the river in Cedar
county. The surrounding country is
very rough and hilly, and along the
river bank outcrops of limestone
rock stratum. Farmers in the vicin.
ity some years ago thought that the
smoke zane from the burning of
coal beds beneath the surface, and
dug down to find out whether or not
this was true. But they found no
coal. The explanation of biologists
is; that water seeping into beds of
limestone causes the smoke. At the
foot of the bluff, on a level plateau
formed by the river, formerly was
the town of Iona. Years since this
town site was swept away by the
river currents, and the river has for
some time been eating into the side
of the bluff. Much of the shaly lime
stone has thus been exposed. Out
of the crevices and joints of this
limestone issue the smoke and hot
gases referred to.

Aged Seed Corn.

William Schoonover, a farmer living
north of Villisca, this year planted a
quantity of seed corn which had been
gathered for rs years, and was some
what surprised to see it sprout and de-
velop as good a stand a the seed
gathered last year. Only a very few
grains of the ancient seed corn refused
to grow. He is now wondering how
much longer it would have retained it's
ferti1ity.
