Meets Streets and Alleys Committee in
Conference This Afternoon =
Claims He Can Guarantee Paving
From Seven to Ten Years and Will
Put UP Bonds.

j. j. Snouffer, Jr.. the Cedar Rapids
paving contractor, who recently created
quite a stir in that city by securing a
ten blocks paving contract from the
Barber Asphalt Company, at bid OF
Sligo a square yard as against the Bar
Der bid of S1.96, is in the city to look
after the paving contracts here. The
publication in the T.-R. of the Cedar
Rapids councils episode set members
of the streets and alleys committee to
Investigating, and resulted in Mr..
Snouffer being furnished with copy Of
the specifications.
The committee members met Mr.
Snouffer in a conference this afternoon.
He agrees verbally, and is willing to put
the statement in writing. it is claimed,
that he can save the city hundreds of
dollars on the paving contract, provld-
ing the specifications are altered SO that
they Will admit of his asphalt The
specifications call for either Trinidad
Lake or Bermuda asphalt, which is only
used by the Barber people. The inser-
ton Oh the words or aSpnalt Oh Il Su-
perior quality will let him IN, Mr..
Snouffer claims. lie says the asphalt
he uses is of as superior quality as
any in existence, but the source of his
supply he refuses to state. He will
guarantee it for from seven to ten
years, he claims, and Will put up o
Fidelity trust bond for any amount the
council sees tit to agree upon. He VIII
also place in any bank here money suf-
ticient to defray all expense of readver-
Using for bids.
The matter was talked over at length
in the committee meeting, and Mr..
Snouffer was put thru a severe ques-
toning. Members of the committee are
all anxious to save the property own
ers money in the paving if it is a posi-
ble thing. but they want to thoroughly
understand the situation. The contracts
for West Church and Fourth avenue,
ten blocks, are to be ia. tonight, and
the only thing that can be done. If Mr..
Snouffer's ideas are reduced to writing
and made In the form of a proposition,
will be to reject again the bids and
change the specifications, thus giving
him an opportunity to bid.
Mr.. Snouffer says there is nothing
about asphalt paving - cost Sl.96 or
S1.9T and there is no reason why it can
not be done for less money.

SCOTT ADDRESSES VETERANS.
Large Audience Listens to Memorial
Sunday Sermon at the Christian


A large number. unable to secure
standing room in the Christian church
Sunday morning, We're turned away. be-
ing debarred from listening to the
Memorial Sunday sermon, delivered be-
fore the large congregation of veterans,
members of the w. r. c., S. of V. and
others. The interior of the church was
decorated with the national colors and
plants. Out of the baptistry was con-
structed fountain. the tinkling waters
of which played turnout the service.
a special chorus choir Of the church,
together with ladies' quartet, furn-
shed the music.
The large delegation from Phil Sher-
idan Post. No. 452, Soldiers Home,
$50 men in line under command OF
Commandant Horton. came to the city
and assembled on the court house
square. The veterans in blue were
joined here by the delegations from
Frank NJ. Thomas Post, No. 81, Frank
NJ Thomas w. r. c., No. 8, and A. F..
Haradon Camp. No. 13, Sons OF Veter
ans. The body marched to the church
to strains of martial music played by
the drum corps of the Sheridan post.
A number of Spanish-American war
veterans also attended the service.
Rev. SCOTS theme was that of patri-
otism. and the lessons to be drawn from
the observation of Memorial day. He
spoke for over an hour, and said In
part: I'VE meet in memorial service
today and call back the memory of our
country's dead, the services and sac
rlfices made for home and country; and
tho, in their graves many OF them I'M
marked and unknown, they still speak
to us of courage and devotion and ex-
ample and faith in country and God"
He then touched on the tie which
binds the common soldier of the re-
bellion to the memories of the present
day generation, of how deserving he
was for the homage done his deeds of
valor and heroism and Of the field on
which he fought. He said: The field
upon which the ancient heroes fought
and won in the struggle for country,
became a sanctuary for succeeding
ages 1t is but right and becoming
that we. as a people, respect and hon
or our Grand Army, past and present;
making the places where our brave de-
tenders sleep sacred ground. For they
We're the pillars of nations hope"
He then told of the lessons taught by
history, and traced briefly the causes
leading up to the great war. saying
that the war was waged, first of all, for
the union. The battle was for its
preservation and perpetuity. That great
principle declared in the Pilgrim coy
enant of 1920, viz: That all owed due
submission and obedience to the law
fully expressed will of the majority
This, he said in connection with the
thought of our national motto 'one
government out of many states this
was the one principle involved and the
one doctrine around which the war
was centered. He then quoted the say
ings of Washington, Madison, Web
ster and Douglass He said it was
against this principle of union, so dear
to the hearts of constitutional and re-
publican fathers, the whole weight of
the rebellion was hurled. He told Of the
awful cost of lives of the four years,
but in recompense for this loss was the |

died at his home seven miles west of FL

ate cause of his death was heart failure.
At the breaking out OF the civil war

Twenty eighth Illinois infantry, and was
afterward transferred to the Ninth Iowa
cavalry. Later he removed to Republic
county, Kansas, where he met and mar
ried Maggie Frantz in 1879. In 1893 the
family moved to Eastern Colorado, and

In the death OF Mr.. Register the com

knew him. He leaves a wife and five
sons and two daughters,

in letter to Chicago poultry fancier
that the three coops of American hens
stand respectively first, second and fourth
on a list in which all the nations OF the
earth are represented, and that this
countryls lead on the aggregate score is
now SO great that it will be practically
impossible for any Of our rivals to cap

millions OF dollars of western farm mort
cages, bringing prosperity in many a
place where there had been destitution,
the native hen sought new worlds to
conquer. The news from Australia makes
it perfectly clear that these estimable
creatures of the American barnyard
have nothing to fear from the worlds
Nevertheless, says the New

protected against the pauper poultry of
Europe by duty Of cents dozen on

trainers of the Dingley tariff may plead
that they did not know what our native
fowls could do; but no such excuse will

SCHOOL BONDS SOLD Ar4 II.
Purchased by the First National Bank Of
Fountain, with a Saving Of 5000
to the School District.


The $1,000 bond issue of our school
district was sold last Wednesday to the
First National Bank OF our own city,
says the Fountain Herald. They were
the only bidders within the per cent
limit required by vote OF the district, the
next bid being at per cent, and with
out their help in the matter our bond is
sue would not have been sold. 1t was
through the guarantee Of the president
of the bank, Gordon Jones, that the
bonds were limited at per cent The
result Of the bid as announced shows
that the officers of the bank have been
awake to the interests Of Fountain Val
ley and have not only lived up to their
guarantee but have made deal where
by the bonds have been placed at even
better than their promise, thus saving
the district thousands of dollars. The
cashier of the bank states that the bank
made absolutely nothing out of the deal
and that the district got the entire ben
etit of the banks success in placing the
bonds at the low figure.
Thus it is again shown that it is the
policy OF our bank and its officers and
directors to assist to the fullest extent in
all matters of public interest, without
consideration. They realize that what
ever works to the general upbuilding of
the community builds up all business of
the town.
