for the making of the finest concrete.
The two main canals viii each be

long, and if the experiment proves
to be as successful as expected, a sec

of the valley irrigated. The second
dam viii be so situated that the waste
water from the first set Of bitches

To say that Mr.. Street is pleased
with the painstaking manner in which
the dam has been constructed is ex-
pressing it mildly, and he never lets
an opportunity go by to give Mr..
James credit for ii.
To extend the canal, dig the later

siderable time, but Mr.. Street expects
to have 500 acres under irrigation
in time for next years season. The
principal crop will be alfalfa, with

After the inspection of the dam
dinner was had in Fairbanks, after
which a drive of fifteen miles was
made to Mr.. Streets home. All along
the route were many historic scenes.
The drive was down the valley of the
San Pedro, and everywhere were
abandoned 'dobes that had been in

ago, tracts of land that had once beeb
irrigated by the Mormons, and the

he noticed a public building short
and hopes to see one at some future
date On being assured that negoti'
atoms were now pending to purchase
the same he said it was evidently a
step in the right direction.
Theodore Dare, one of our enter
prising miners, took his tools out of
the mines last week. Mr.. Dare in.
forms us that he will visit his par
cnts in New Jersey, whom he has not
seen forIftwenty years and then he
will locate in Oklahoma on a farm.
William Wilson, who is attending
in Des Moines, in letter to his par
ents says he is advancing well in his
studies for all general office work
Mr.. Wilson is a model young man.
He worked here in the mines fifteen
months, paid his board clothed MIN
self and saved three hundred and fiji.

cation. which is an assurance that he
will win. for it is record very sell

Charles Dean, one OF our most in

Board in Oskaloosa. Mr.. Dean will

and will make a success in his new
business.
We note with much pride the new
sy letter from Evans each week.
Miss Maud Edwards and sister,
Miss Annie, of Beacon, spent Sunday
in town the guests of Miss Charlotte
Wilson. Mrs A. Long acknowledged
a pleasant call from the ladies in the
evening.
]. H. Miller of Perry was in town
Saturday on business. Mr.. Miller in
speaking of Iowa said he was as well
impressed with the farms in Mahas

Charles Kissingcr. Milo Hayes and
A. G. Boles were business callers in
Lost Creek Sunday.
The writer notes with much pride
the willingness of the railroads to
submit their grievances with their
employees to a board of arbitration
for a settlement, for when employer
and employed can lay down their ir-
ritation and grievances sufficiently
to meet as equals and discuss frank
ly and cordially the disputed issues
before a board of arbitration selected
by both parties, it is a great step
gained. The very best fruits of ar
bitration and Cancellation will only
be gathered, after education and in
teIligence become more general 1t
has been hindered by the want of
these and in the future as progress
is made in both, it, is not too much
to hope that arbitration and concilia-
tion will be the means adopted alike
by nations and individuals to adjust
all differences that arise between
them and capital.

in speech at Clarinda the other
night gave voice to an opinion which
at least is entitled to consideration.
Daniel Willard, vice president of the
Burlington system, says: Trains are
being run today on practically every
road in this country faster than the
operating officials in charge consider
wise or prudent, and this condition
has been forced by the curious idea
which many people have that they
must go somewhere In a great hurry.
The desire for fast travel has become
a mania with many. and it is, in my
opinion, responsible for many of the
railroad accidents"

CONFIRMATION CLASS.
Services By Bishop White At Epis-
copal Church Tonight


copal Church Tonight
The annual confirmation service OF
the Episcopal church win take. place
this Wednesday, evening at 7:3U
o'clock at. st. James church The
Right Reverend john Hazel White,
D. D., Bishop of the diocese of Michi-
gan City, (Northern Indiana), will be
the preacher and confirming Bishop.
This is by special arrangement OF
Bishop Morrison, whose health broke
down last fall and forced him to go to
Italy for six months or a year.
DR.. White was consecrated Bishop
of Indiana in 1895. In 1899 that state
was divided into two dio1eses-'In-
dianapolis' ana Michigan City," and
the Bishop chose the latter, the north
ern diocese, and makes his residence
at Vawter Park, Indiana.
Bishop White is in stature a man
of tall, powerful build, and is noted
as man of intellectual force and es-
pecially as a strong preacher to men.
The Rector of st. James church
will present class of eight for con.
flrmation, which together with the
twenty.four presented last year, will
make thirty-two persons confirmed in
the year ana half that the Rev. Mr..
Jones has been in Oskaloosa. Those
to be confirmed are as follows:
Linnette HerrilgtGl, Ruth Cation,
Minnie Lichtenheld, Paul Phelps Miss
Edna Pickett, Miss Helen McCurdy
Miss Leila Atchison and Miss Helen
Handy. Others who had expected to
be IN this class were unavoidably pre-
vented and their confirmation will be
postponed to next year.
The candidates for confirmation will
assemble in the Guild Hall and march
into the church in procession with the
clergy and vested choir, and will Oc-
cupy seats, reserved for them, at the
front of the church. Immediately be-
hind them will be seated their god
parents, parents, ana others Of their
family, for whom seats have been re-
served.
The members of the confirmation
class of last year will have seats re-
served for them just behind these
two groups and will thus assemble
and sit together again in commemora-
ton of their own confirmation. But
other than these, there will be no re-
servation of seats. The church will
be open to all, and the public Is cor
daily inviteu to attend the service
Those going should be prompt to be

Much interest is being manifested
by Iowa Central officials in this city

eineer on the Panama canal, as af-
fecfing George ID. Brook and G. H.

sonal friends and Stevens is respon-

soon as cars can be secured move

The average life of a railroad box
car is d matter of speculation, Rail
road men say it is impossible to fig
ure out just what the average would
be, for the reason that some Of the
cars last for decades, While others
wear out quickly. The bone yard, as
it is called, is the place where all
freight cars must go, soon or late, if
they do not happen to be caught in
wreck and smashed to pieces, or
burned along the right OF way. They
may cross and recross the continent,
journey from the lakes to the gulf,
take many side trips on branch lines,
tie up in railroad yards or private
switches for years and years. But at
last when they are old and worn out,
or battered and splintered beyond re-
pair, they all bring up to the bone
yard, and there they are burned. But
oil railroad companies do not send
their cars 70 the bone yard to be
burned. Many companies strip the
cars of iron work, doors and every
thing which may be used again, and
break the old boxes up for kindling.
This wood is sold by the companies.
When a car is out Of service, or is
wrecked so it will cost more to re-
pair il than il is worth. we send it
TO the hone yard" foreman explain
ed. THAT is the easiest and quick
est way to dispose of it, OF course
we make use of the trucks. the draw
