GAsToN's HISTORY OF IOWA.
Includes in One Volume Complete His
tory of the State and Introduces
Manv New Features.

Des Moines Capital During the
past six months new and un que his
tory of Iowa has been in course of pre-
paratlon and is expected to be publish
ed by the first of January. Fred H.
CASTOR, a local newspaper man is the
author. 1t is the second history of the
state ever written, and differs from
that written by the late B. F. CUE,
former lieutenant governor of Iowa, in
that it consists of but one volume of
approximately 1000 pages and is expect
ed to be placed on the market at pop
ular prices, while the former was a
most elaborate WORK of four volumns
aud sold for SlS
uperintendent Sheakley and other
public educators of Des Mones express
the opinion that such work will be of
the greatest practical utility. as Iowa
school children have hitherto been
compelledto go begging for the history
of their own state.
The first 500 pages of the work fol-
low conventional lines, beginning with
the mound builders and aborigines,
dealing with the discovery of America,
the colonial history, the exploration of
the Mississippi valley, brief general
history of the nation, a detailed history
of the northwest territory and conclud-
ing with a complete history of Iowa.
1t is from this point that the history
centers upon unique fields. After
pointing out that Iowa excels all other
states in agriculture and live stock, for
example. it deals at some length with
the development of the state along
these lines.
Separate chapters are devoted to
various subjects, showing the indus
trial and political growth of the state.
A complete history of the political par
ties in Iowa, If the various state con-
ventions and Of the state administra-
tions is given. Men who have achiev
ed state and national prominence. who
have become cabinet officer; and occu-
pied former positions in the senate,
house or on the Supreme bench are
made the subjects of accurate sketch.
Under chapter devoted to Iowa's
educational development it is pointed
out that in absence of illiteracy Iowa
surpasses all states, and the leading
educational institutions are described.
In brief the, volume is expected by
its author to fill long felt want and
to find prominent place in household
and school libraries.
Mr.. CASTOR is graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan and has had a
training in literary work that equips
him for the task upon which he is now

the Rockford, (IlD Daily Republic, and
was later managing editor of the Des
Moines Daily News for three years.IA

San Francisco Harbor.

San Francisco may claim to have the
most capacious natural harbor and also
the safest. Port Philip bay, the chief
harbor of Victoria, Australia, is larger
than the bay of San Francisco, but its
very breadth leaves 1t exposed to

]. Briggs. instructor In surgery at the

dition has become steadily worse. Recent
ly his family consulted DIR. Biggs and II

only hope
The operation is described technically
as TRANSMISSION. The vasilic vein of the
left elbow was laid bare and gold
plated tube inserted. after the tube had
been filled with the solution used in the
opera ton. This solution consisted OF about
900 grams OF normal salt solution ind
deflbrfnated bullocks blood. 1t required
about half an hour 10 drive all the fluid
into the patients system.
Before the operation Mr.. Smiths pulse
was 125 He was very weak and nervous
and complained OF being cold. Within an
hour after the infusion his pulse dropped
to So color returned TO his cheeks and
there was general sense OF bodily
warmth The patient will be fed on espe-
cially prepar red foods and defbrinated
blood until the surgeons decide TO make
another incision.
DR.. Biggs said that several infusions
would be necessary. The object OF the
operation is TO increase the quality and
quantity OF the blood thereby causing the
development OF new cells
The patients family f. delighted with
the apparent good results.
