Looker-On In Iona

Toledo, May Sin Dumont some
days ago one heard considerable talk
Of oil on the West Fork. Last year
this same oil business got so far that
stock company was probable, but the
stock company deal seemed to have
dampening effect and the interest
died out Now am told that Chicago
parties with plenty Of money" have
leased 5000 acres along the West Fork
and are quietly prospecting This lease
is of the royalty Kind The owner of
the land on which a find" is made
gets so much per barrel for all the oil
the we'll produces. All this has the
semblance Of business. When the stock
company is formed and outsiders are
asked to put UP good money, then the
public begins to grow suspicious. There
is no question but what at the present
time and it has been so for years,
certain amount OF oil is running out of
the ground, and into the river. Whether
it is there in paying quantity Is an
other thing. And it is true that the
behring's along the river where this Oil
shows itself strike the same forna-
lions of soil, stone, coal deposits, ETC.,
that are found in the Pennsylvania oil
regions. On the other hand all oil
and gas wells so far discovered in Iowa
have been of the pocket variety, and
all investors have been out OF pocket
as the result of experiments and oper-
atoms.
The town Of Sheffield Is feeling the

may be located on the Short Line or
one of the elevators on the Iowa Cen
trail may be purchased for their bus
mess. Then, too, a $4,000 opera house
is practically assured. The Odd Fell
lows will build it, and the citizens and
business men have contributed $4,000
towards the enterprise. 1t will be To-
Gated on a prominent corner on the
main business street, the opera house
on the ground floor, with the Odd
Fellows lodge room on the second
floor. Add to all this the completion
and soon to be in full operation of the
$50 900 brick and tile works, and Shelf
field has right to boast. Real estate

1t remained for Belmond young
man to find a new use for his automo-
bile We have all read of the farmer
who does the churning, grinds the feed,
pumps the water, and then rides
to town in his automobile, but this
young man goes him one better. He
plows the garden. With plenty Of room
to work the auto, and friend to hold
the pillow handles, he did good job,
only using up two dollars worth of
gasoline to pillow the garden, which any
teamster would have been glad to have
done for fifty cents.

Our readers will remember the
strange occurrence on the highway
near Rutland last fall when n portion
OF the grade dropped out Of sight In a
seeming bottomless pit that had never
been known to exist. and will therefore
not be surprised to know that the
drain we'll on the former WEIGH farm
near Rutland, at present owned by DR..
Doan, has dropped into the earth In
much the same way as the cave-in last
fall. This we'll drained large acre
age of land, and was something more
than fifty feet deep. 1t penetrated the
rock short way. 1t was piped to the
rock from a large cement reservoir at
the top. This reservoir, pipe and all
has dropped into mother earth, 1t be-
Ing some seventeen feet to the water,
and nothing in sight in the seeming
bottomless pit

OLD PLAN is FAVORED.

There are two objections to the
voting machine az substitute for
the ballot. One is that the voter
does not see what he Is doing and must
accept it on faith that 1t records his
vote when he pulls the lever before
the name Of his favorite candidate.
The other is that 1t is susceptible OF
manipulation. The conscious or I'M
conscious failure Of the election judges
to follow directions in setting up the
machine may defeat a fair count. A
mechanical method Of marking the
ballot and registering the vote mean
while is not open to these objections.
as the voter removes the marked
ballot from the machine and inspeets
it before handing 1t to the judges and
the official result is ascertained by
counting the ballots. The machine
record is merely corroborative evil
dence and therefore dishonest cleo
ton officers or others can have no
motive in manipulating the machine.
THE sPoRTsMAN's OPPORTUNITY
(Centerville Citizen)
j. M. Hixenbaugh delivered nine
cub wolves to the county auditor last
Saturday Strange that the man with
the gun should have practically ex-
terminated all game and that the wolf
should still be comparatively numerous
in this state. A wild deer has not been
seen in many years. The last wild
turkey has long since been killed. Wild
pigeons have disappeared and wild
geese are rare Prairie chickens are al
most unknown, and about the only
wild things that remain are rabbits.
And the wolf seems to hold his own.
He is said to be the most cunning OF
all the wild brutes that are to be found
in this country. And hence it would
seem that the sportsmen who are look
ing for real sport, who want to match
their wit, their skill. their patience
against that of a worthy enemy would
take up wolf hunting. But somehow
they seem to prefer game that can be
bowled over with comparatively little
trouble.
