New Railroad Project.

E. E. Nordyke and d. E. Blodgett.
Des Moines men, were Elkader
visitors last week and brought news
of a new railroad project. They repre-
sent that it is planned to build rail-
road from Newton. Jasper county,
Iowa, to Elkader, and later extend it
north, and to connect at Newton with
the interurban line to Des Moines.
They would not give out any definite
information as to who is behind the
project but would only say, as do all
such promoters, that the line is sure
thing and that active operations in
the building line will be started soon.
Their plan is to build steam road
but after visiting this territory con-
cluded that electric power would be
preferable and ON Wednesday in COM
pany with Mayor Schultz they visited

and mill at that place. They were
much impressed with the possibilities

First it was tin roof for the new
post office and now it is walls of COM
mon brick that are filling the minds
and hearts of the lovers of the aes-
thetic in public buildings in Mason
City with unspeakable chagrin. The
new post office will not be the impos-
ing structure believed when the APP
preparation of $75, 600 was announced
last year, if the information received
by Postmaster Kotchell is true that
the bidders are instructed to cut their
bid to $50, no instead of S66, 900 and
that common brick be substituted for
all the facings instead of pressed brick
as per the original bid, says Mason
City dispatch.
This has made cut of SO. 600 and
another cut has been ordered of
81, 600 in the trimmings, which will
be sandstone and limestone instead of
more slightly matreial. Wood has
been substituted for the cast iron
frame over the entrance which cuts
the bid another $3.50 and by substi-
tuting terra Gotta for the floor arches
and red lead for graphite paint, another
cut of $3.50 and $50 respectively max.
ing the new bid total of $50, TO. 1t
is possible a trip may be made to
Washington by Postmaster Kotchell,
who will take Congressman Haugen
with him in that case to assist in the
plea for pressed brick.

To the School Directors OF Winnesheik
County.

AS the time for opening the schools
is near at hand it becomes imperative
that the certificate of every teacher
be examined to see whether it has
been registered in this county; to see
that it does not expire before the close
of the term for which you wish to
contract with the teacher, and to see
what grade it is equivalent 20.
Under the new law certificates are
good over the entire state but not
valid in any particular county unless
first registered with the county super
intendent. School officers and teachers
are requested to observe the above
requirements, carefully, to avoid fu-
ture Misunderstanding.

Cecil Cook Killed.

A most deplorable accident occurred
in Jefferson township Saturday morn
ing by which the life of a young man
was instantly blotted out and his
family and friends plunged in deepest
grief.
The accident occurred on the farm
of Charles Cook, five or six miles
south of town, and the victim was his
son, Cecil, about 81 years old. With
F.. A. Reed of Burr Oak he was en-
gagged in dynamiting stumps. Mr..
Reed is a professional at the business,
having followed it for the past ten
years, and had been on the farm for
several days instructing the Cook boys
how to handle and use the explosive.
The first shot fired about 80 Satur-
day morning was the fatal one. Mr..
Reed says they retired even farther
than usual. about fifty-four PAGES,
but when the shot went off the pieces
of the stump went up several hundred
feet in the air and all seemed to go
in the dead boys direction. He saw
him dodge several of the falling pieces
but one fragment came straight down
and struck him on top of the head,
dashing out his brains. -Waukon

that reserves which he considered

opportunity again to consider the mat

they would be preserved. The presi-
