RIVER CUTS WIDER CHANNEL

of forcing the water back thru the old

not only washed out the underbrush

that it will all have to be driven again.

feet more of the dixie. 1t is estimated
that it will cost at least $4,000 to re-

cost will fall upon the mill owners
altho Hardin county will
stand part of the loss.

when the matter of selection OF the

point effectively to the great cost of the
approaches necessary to a Viaduct on
the comparatively level grade of Center

others, fayoring Center street for the
viaduct, reply that if the overhead

railway will be left out entirely and the
property damage. which the city has to
pay will be far greater than on Center

LOCAL COMMENT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

For several years the T.-R. has an
nually called attention to the plan of
merchants organizing an association to
refund railway fare to customers who
come from abroad to buy in MARSHALL
town stores. Long ago it was pointed
out in these columns that the trading
stamp scheme was nothing more than
a parasite or leech upon the tradesmen
for to succeed with the trading stamp
merchants must live off from each 9TH
er. 1t brings no new business How
ever, the trading stamp has had its
run in Marshalltown and its day is
ended. 1t is now time that the mer-
chants banded together in some plan
of trade inducement, the success of
which will not be at the expense of
one another. We can't have rural and
interurban trolleys right away, altho
we should work to that end, but we can
double or treble the neighborhood
traffic on the railroads leading into
Marshalltown by forming an associa-
ton to refund railway fare to people
who Will come to Marshalltown to buy
goods. All we need is an association
and system of per centage rebates on
purchases. This suggestion if carried
out would mean new business for Mar
shalltown equal to the establishment of
several labor employing industries.
The details of this plan are easily arr
ranged. They have been outlined in
these columns. All that is needed is
action and it may be of interest to
know what is being done by Cedar
Rapids merchants in this line. There a
merchants association was formed the
plan being this The association agrees
to refund the round trip fare to persons
living within n radius of forty miles
from Cedar Rapids upon the purchase
of SIS worth of merchandise from one
or more members of the association.
one per cent additional cash rebate will
be allowed on all purchases in excess
of SO. Buyers who desire to take adj
vantage of this generous offer, which is
designed to promote the general trade
and prosperity of the city, are request
ed To ask for a merchants association
rebate book when thru trading at the
first store they may enter of those COM
posing the association. At each store
the amount that may be purchased is
to be entered in the rebate book. When
all of the purchases have been COM
pleted the rebate book and return rail-
Way ticket is to be presented at the
Cedar Rapids National bank, where the
rebate will be paid between the hours
of and p. III.
1t now looks as tho Marshaltown
citizens would soon have an opportun-
ity to secure the location of a lahor-em
ploying institution second To none now
in the city. Men of unlimited capital
nave been attracted to this city because
