WILSON TO RESIGN

Washington, d. c., July 30.-The
Southern Cotton Growers association

dent Roosevelt that Secretary Wilson

GREAT TOWERS TO SPAN RIVER.
Telephone Company VIII Have Two
Miles Of Gable Suspended.

~ ~ S1S'N S1SR~'te~es
Council Bluffs, July 30.-On each
bank Of the Missouri river two miles
south of Council Bluffs, the Independ-
ent Telephone company of this city
will erect towers of steel 125 feet high
for the purpose of stretching cables
across the stream to connect Council
Bluffs with South Omaha. The
structures will need to be very strong
as they will have to bear the weight
of several lines of cable. Omaha,
which has no Independent exchange,
will be left out, while Lincoln, Sioux
City and Des Moines, its trade rivals,
will get the benefit of the Interstate
connection.
The governmental regulation is
that the cables shall be suspended at
such an elevation that their lowest
points shall be fifty feet above the
surface of the river. In order to meet
this requirement, it vas necessary to
find a place where the river IS COM
~paratively narrow with a high bank
on n side. This span at the point
chosen will be 1900 feet in length.

TAKING CENSUS TO BEeIM SOON

TAKING CENSUS TO BEGIN SOON
The taAirg of the census in iowa
will begin soon and the work is to be
done by the ass essors iil each county.
The blanks Ter this purpose will be sent
totne county auditors by the state and
they will distribute them to the assess
ors. Much responsibility rests on the
county auditors in taking this census
The state officials are determined to
make this census as complete and ac-
curate as possible. County auditors
will be held responsible for the com
potency OF the enumerators and if they
have reason to believe an enumeration
or assessor is not competent to do the
work in connection with that of assess
ing an auditor has authority to appoint
special enumerator. If the work is
improperly done in any section the
state can appoint new men to do the
work overland the expense charged up
to the respective county. Population,
farms and farm products will DO enum
Grated.
Secretary Dawson citing the law pro-
viding for the taking of the census has
the following to say concerning the
matter.
This law must be so constructed that
grossly disqualified assessors, that NAV
have been elected, shall not be allowed
to destroy the cards. 1t is your duty
to require evidence that conyinces Won
the assessor can perform the duties re-
quired of him. You hesitate to do this.
1t is realized that it is delicate matter
but the census must be taken pronerlv
| or the results cannot be accepted. The
county auditor has the power to require
the necessary efficiency on the part of
enumerators and he cannot escape re
sponslblllty for the character OF the
work. II IS better to emphasize this
now than to tell it to you after failure
Is charged up No one can do this
work who is not a legible writer. The
enumerator must have sufficient ability
and education to discern the intent or
/ purpose of information sought by the
several questions to be answered
There are many habits that would DIS
quallty the person for performance of
the work. Please study the Importance
OF this suggestion and if necessary take
up any features you want advice upon
with your county board at its January
meeting, requesting it to assume a
share OF the responsibility Yon may
be 80 fortunate as to have qualified men
men for all your assessors, but it is not
the rule.

/ We and respect OF Iowa teachers for
this venerable educ4 tional sage was
shosn by one great ovation @hen he
was called e the chair by Prof. D S
VIRGIN tn president OF the associa-
tion. Mr.. Sabin was almost overcome
by this expression and found much
difficulty in depressing his emotion.
With appropriate illusions to battles
nobly fought he introduced each yete-
ran present, who told in pathetic earn
estness the trying difficulties neces-
sary to be overcome in the establish
ment of Iowa's educational system, in
pioneer days. And from others nos
able to be present letters filed with
both pathos and drollery were read.
Perhaps the one most impressive was
fragment of letter which had been
begun by that Nestor of Iowa educa-
tion-Jonathan Pieper, after he had
entered the final struggle with disease.
The letter was never finished, but
enough was written to show that he
was still deeply devoted to the inter-
estssof the great work of education and
that his prayers were still for the boys
and girls of Iowa and their teachers.
After some testimonials of the power
and inspiration of the lives of these
veterans by younger members whose
lives had been touched and moulded by
them this unique and impressive pro-
gram was closed by the singing of
Aud Lang Syne, and the Doxology.
This opportunity for all to aga sit
at the feet of the veterans" made q
lasting impression, especially upon
those who were born in fair Iowa, edu-
Gated in her splendid public schools
and colleges and now engaged carrying
on the work so ably instituted by these
pioneer heroes,
Other features of the general pro-
gram we're less distinctive but none the
less valuable and instructive.
Prof Wright of the State Normal,
president of the association, reviewed

schools. Gov. Cummins plead for bet

Holden of Ames for manual, domestic
