IOWA COAL NEAR TOP.
II Beats Alabama and Illinois Soft
Coal


Ames, March 6.-During the past
year the department of mechanical
engineering has determined the heat
making power of samples of coal from
twenty-one different mines in Iowa
representing all of the important MIL.
ing districts. The average of all
samples tested shows Iowa coal to
have heat making value Of approx.
mately 1000 heat units "a heat unit
is the amount of heat to raise the tenn
perature of one pound of water one
degree). The maximum and minimum
results were 1920 and $3.50 heat units
respectively. Concurrent tests of an.
thracite coal gave 1880, of foundry
coke 1880 and Of Beaumont crude oil
$1,000
Chemical tests on Iowa and compel
ing soft coal show that Iowa coal is
higher in combustible material than
Illinois and Alabama Goals and but
little lower than Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia Goals. Some Iowa
Goals are high in sulphur and others
are high in ash, which facts account
for difficulties experienced in using
them for domestic and steam making
purposes.
Actual use of Iowa Goals under boil.
ers for steam making shows that the
cost Of fuel for producing 1000 pounds
of steam ranges from Is cents with
slack at $1.45 to 25 cents with lump
coal costing s2.95 per ton.

assembled at his residence on Monday
of this week, April 27, 1903, to attend a

that a surprise party would be an
appropriate 'doings" for the birthday
anniversary, and consequently, the
plans were laid and we'll executed. The
first, and one of the important parts of
the occasion was dinner, which was fit
for king. After dinner Mr.. Harvey
was presented with rocking chair,
gold headed cane, silk umbrella and
numerous other presents. Rev. Joel

tation speech. During the afternoon

and several old patriotic songs were
