PICNIC POSSIBILITIES.
An Annual Occasion May ,Supplant
Old Alumni Programs.

The picnic given by the Oskaloosa
High school pupils VINO had been I'M
der Prof. o. e. Dixon, in honor Of that
gentleman, at Riverside Park Wednss-
aayrr -z4ill-sesat- 4iss-s rSssslA iva stifer or.
ganization of an annual affair to be
known as the High school picnic, the
alumni picnic, or some other appro'
pirate name. The possibilities OF
such an event for the High school
graduates seemed to be emphasized
at the Dixon picnic, and it is certain
that some sort of an effort will be
made to have the picnic an annual af
fair. ST..
The Oskaloosa High School Alumni
association passed into history some
years since. The organization filled
its place at the time Of it's existence
but as the conditions by which ii
lived and thrived were altered, il
dropped into disuse, became unpopu
lar and died a natural death. The
picnic would fill vacancy that has
been felt since the old alumni asso
citation disbanded and would no doubt
be very popular move should the
High school or any of the alumni take
steps toward organizing. The posi-
bilities of such a picnic can be readily
seen. 1t would be an annual meeting
and reunion of all of the school folks
both old and young. 1t would be q

greatest charm. The old alumni as

tiresome, even to it's own members
There would be none Of this. There
might be programs arranged for the
entertainment of the patrons of the
picnic. Most certainly. Should H

of the others who were at the head OF
the school in the old days and who
led the boys and girls for many day,
be IN attendance, as they surely would
be, we should like to hear them talk
and they would be pleased to talk
But the talks would be reminiscent in
character rather than otherwise.
The programs formerly attempted
by the old alumni association were al.
ways an effort, an effort in prepare.
tion, an effort on the part Of the per.
formers and great effort on the part
of the listening audience. There
would be none of this in the alumni
picnic. 1t would be happy re-un-
ion and gathering of a great family.
Sociality and visiting would be pos
sible in greater degree than was
ever known at exhibition or banquet.
The picnic would be a source OF
strength to both o. A. s. alumni and
the High school itself Let's have it.

Causing $5,ooo.oo Damage.

Des Moines, Aug. 16.-The settling
of the new leyee along the north bank
of the Raccoon river west Of Ninth
street at o'clock yesterday after
noon caused the collapse Of the main
building Of the Des Moines Sand com
pany, resulting in property loss APP

done by contract. II was decided to
ask for bids for the grading OF this
street. An estimate on the amount
Of dirt to be moved places it at five
hundred yards. Frank Baker, who is
a resident Of South Market, and other
residents were present at the meeting
to make plain the urgency Of the new
permanent walk. The gentlemen
were successful and a motion pre-
vailed ordering the building Of the
walk. The walk will extend from
Eighth to Twelfth avenues. Mr.. Au-
gustine moved that the walk be or
dered in on the west side Of the
street between Eighth and Ninth ave-
nues, and from Ninth to Twelfth ave.
nue. on the east side. This will carry
the walk a block south of the Iowa
Central viaduct and will be an i'm
proyement that will be much appre-
ciated by the residents Of this part Of
the city and will have am influence in
developing South Side.
Another permanent walk is ordered
in on North Sixth street from High
avenue north to the alley to connect
with the Grant Janney property.
The Beacon Road Again.
Willard Carver appeared before the
council to protest against the en-
forcement Of a recent resolution or
dering fence removed on the Bea-
con road. He said the matter was
now before the supreme court and all
points at issue would be settled there.
To enforce the resolution at this time
would mean more litigation, which
would finally land in the supreme
court, and accomplish nothing until
the first case was settled When as
sured that the street was open and
that traffic was not interfered with,
the council was disposed to let the
matter rest and took no formal action.

Views and interviews.

Mr.. A. B. Stronach, who recently wrote
an article in this paper stating that be
sympathized with Russia in the struggle
between that country and japan, received
a letter yesterday from the private sec
rotary of the Russian Ambassador eX-
pressing his thanks for Mr. Stronach's
letter and the sentiments expressed
There are many more people who feel
that it would be better for Russia,
Christian nation. to win than for the
heather Japs,'' said Mr.. Stronach.
In this connection, the Washington cor
respondent CT the Chicago Record Herald,
in order to show that all the opinion in
this country is not on. the side of Japan,
quotes "a Republican Senator NOTED for
his expert knowledge of conditions in the
Far East as saying:

some Of you would put it down in your
note book-that within a year there VIII
be tremendous change in American opin-
ion. 1t will shift around to the side OF
Russia, and for these reasons: l. Rus
sia is q Christian nation, while Japan IS
pagan 2. Russia for 100 years will be
unable to manufacture the goods con-
sumed by her people, and must buy inn
mense quantities in the markets of the
world, while Japan is already a manufac-
turing country from one end to the other,
and is prepared to do all the manufactur-
ing for the great market of China, within
few days steaming from her shores, as
soon as political changes give Japan the
upper hand in the Chinese empire, at
which she aims and for which she is real
ly battling in this war. Let me make two
more predictions continued this Senator,
who declines for obvious reasons to per-
nit the use of his name. eff Russia loses,
in this war, the japanese will within five
years become the masters of China, Nnd
they will take possession of the markets
Of the world out And within ten years
after the Japanese have whipped Russia,
if they succeed in doing so, the United
