sublet the laying of the cement curb
ing on the first lot of ten blocks OF
paving, which was recently secured for
them, and 1t is thought that with dry
weather, the work of putting 1t in viii
be commenced in day or two. The
company will go to work eXcavatlng,

of its way. Should the Barber people
secure the contract for resurfacing in
Ottumwa, 1t is very likely the railroad
mixing plant which they have had here
during the past year, will be taken
to tha. city, as the paving here Will
not be ready for the asphalting for

THE WEST FOR ROOSEVELT.
Secretary Wilson Says the Whole West
La Ieddy's

Secretary wilson Gays tne WHo'e WeSe
Is Teddy's.
Washington, June S.-Secretary Will
son. who returned to Washington with
the president, says the whole west is
heart and soul for Roosevelt.
During my trip thru the western
states" said Secretary Wilson. Il took
occasion to thoroughly investigate the
political situation. I had an excellent
opportunity to test the real feeling of
the country, and the result Of my in
vestigation is the conclusion that the
people OF the west are overwhelmingly
for Roosevelt I know of number
of democrats who were asked II they
wanted four more years of Cleveland.
Their answer was that Roosevelt is
good enough for them and they pro-
posed to vote for him.
What are the reasons western peo-
pie give? They like the manly way in
which he has handled public questions
during his administration: they like the
attitude he takes in enforcing the law
for and against the rich citizen and the
poor citizen alike. His popularity
among the masses is something re-
markable. President Mckinley led the
people out OF dire distress into pros
perity and managed the Spanish Amer
lean war in manner that was en-
tirely satisfactory to nearly every Ann
erican citizen. Roosevelt has substan
TALLY completed all that work.
'"rhe responsibilities, however, that
have been met by President Roosevelt
have been new and unique. The people
were not pleased at some of the move
ments of the great combinations Of cap
ital and the monopolies fostered by the
great combinations of capital. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has enforced the law as
he found it to exist. Then he asked for
further legislation to enable him to in
quire into actual conditions. He was
satisfied when he got that legislation,
and discouraged the drastic legislation
that might have interfered with BUSH
uess. The people are pleased with the
way President Roosevelt. handled the
coal strike.
"The people in the great western
states approve of his policy of conserv-
ing peace thru the maintenance of a
strong navy. They are pleased with the
reorganization of the army and with
the legislation putting the militia of
the country on a more healthy footing.
They are heartily in accord with the
open door policy for the orient They
do not want their trade interfered with
in China and other countries of the far
east. and cordially endorse the action
that Secretary Hay and his department
nave taken along these lines. These
are some of the reasons that the west
ern people give you for being so enthu-
ia site for Roosevelt"

they would have suffered had it not
been for the fact that fat cattle from

Hioh School Team Cisbanded for the
Season and Will Not Meet North
,uood Aoain

All hopes of another game or two
with the Northwood team that recently
defeated the local high school nine IN
this city, have been abandoned. There
was some talk Immediately after the
contest of securing. if possible, the VIC
torious nine for two more games to be
played here The management OF the
local r:ne did not feel like undertaking
the risk of the heavy expense owing
to the teams present large indebted
ness. and that, with other reasons, mas
been the cause of the two teams not
playing. The team here has now dis
banded for the season, and Northwood
has done the same. so the only thing
left 10 do is to walt until next sea-
son For chance to even the score.
The local team closed the season al
most $500 in debt. OF this amount
they raised by public subscription
about S145. and members of the team
will make up the deficiency out of their
own rockets.

be optimistic in extremely dry weather

THE structure, which is capacious al

low POSTS were used on the ends and
along the sides. Being in moist and
virgin soil, the posts took root and the
entire structure has flonrished like a
green bay tree. 1t assembled nine feet in
the first three years, AMI Mr.. Crawley
was compelled to lay second floor
using the first as a loft. The second
floor is now too elevated for use, and
next year a third floor will be AIDED. The
innovation has proven very advanta-
eeous, and large crop of barns will be
planted this spring by farmers of that
vicinity.
