EARNS MASHED AWAY

Eighteen thousand acres of farm
lands per year now are washed down
stream each year by the Missouri and
the Mississippi rivers. This amounts
to about the area of small county or
80 miles square of fertile land. Many
farms have been taken entire and
thousands have been ravaged to the
value of a quarter million dollars each
year. This is the estimate made to
Chicago members of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress which
for more than a year has been urging
that the improvement of the naviga-
BILE rivers had become too important
to be banded in politics. The gov
eminent engineers have recommended
plans which not only would protect
the river banks but make the rivers
navigable avenues for transportation
at costs one-sixth the rates charged
by railroads. The erosion causes the
obstructing sand and mud banks
which interfere with steamboats,.
This stopped, the water would each
year scour the river bed deeper and
in time prevent the possibility of
freshet overflows over the levees
of the lower rivers. The sum of $780,
000, 900 year is set as a minimum sum
needed for the necessary work in
improving the harbors of the 5000
miles of coast line as well as the riy,

the ROAD DRAG.

A simple continuance, so simple that
il can scarcely be called an invention
is likely to cause a vas Improvement
in the dirt roads of the United States
ami nine-tentns of al the public high
ways of the country are of that class.
Road drags are made OF the two halves
of a split log. or of planks placed on
edge three feet apart, with cross
pieces, or of planks nailed together
with a lap, joint. The length is about
s feet, and the drag is hauled along
the road at an angle Of AS degree.
This implement so primative in form
but so remarkable in proved results
Is applied when the road is muddy
by team driven at a walk along one
side OF road, returning on the OPP
posite side. A dry road is never drag
ged. but the work may go on in sum
mer when the rain is fallin, or as soon
as it ceases. In winter the drag
should be applied just before freeze.
Thu drag tests have been so sue
cessful for Several years that botn
the Missouri and the Illinois legisla.
lures at the recent session provided
TO- the work with state compensation,
giving preference in its performance
to the occupants OF the land. Rural
delivery carriers are all advocates of
the drag system, for they have daily
proof Of its etncieacy in maintaining
a smooth surface aid good drainage
on dirt roads. 1t has been said that
II the drag cost $50 and was painted
red it would have been approved
much faster at first, for it seemed
absurdly simple. But its merits are
now known and legislatiyely recog-
nized, Road dragging will proceed
hereafter with the systematic support
OF taxpayers, and Iowa should be
alive 70 the situation.

CUPID WON THE DAY.
Roy Rowland Forgets Affidavit But
Is Married All Right.

with his most Intimate friends una
ware of his intentions. Deputy Auditor
Roy Rowland departed YESTERDAY
morning for Ottumwa. Gossip cur
rent through the court house corridors
was that Roy was going to get mar
RED, but no one could give anything
definite, while from some OF the ofiices
It was said that he had gone to Rose
Hill for visit with his parents.
But the cat was let out OF the bag
in the afternoon. After going down
IN the Rock Island depot Roy took the
train for ottumwa. After leaving the
union depot there he walked Doldly
nm TO the clerk of the courts office In
the big Wapello county court house
and asked for license to marry.
When asked for an affidavit, Roy was
in a uuandary. He was SO Joyful over
his mission that he forgot to get some
one to stand up for him. In a big
town of twenty thousand people and
not knowing a soul, Roy was up
against it. To secure the license ac-
cording to the rules of the office Roy
was required to furnish an att1davlt,
At last it became necessary to call up
friends in this city. He found no trou-
BILE in getting next best friend, and
after an hour of suspense the license
was issued to Roy Rowland OF this
city and Miss Nellie Starlin, also OF
Oskaloosa They were married at
D. M, at the Office of the officiating
minister, Rev. Frank Stoltz, 200 Cara
street. They left Immediately for YES
ia, Nebraska, where they win spend
their honeymoon.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. B. Rowland of Rose Hill. He
is a Mahaska county boy and has re-
sided here all his life. Upon the cleo
ton of John W. Doak to the Office of
county auditor Roy removed to this
city and accepted the position of dep
uty. He is an estimable young man.
The bride is daughter of John
Starlin, residing a few miles from this
city. She is an Oskaloosa girl by
birth and has resided here all her life.
She has made Oskaloosa her home,
being employed as book-keeper in the
William Fitzpatrick meat market up to
a few months ago, when her mother
died and she returned to the farm.
Their many friends in the city join
with the Herald in wishing this young
couple many years of happiness and
success. Mr.. Rowland's friends at the
court house are preparing big 'doings"
for Roy upon his return home from
his honeymoon.
