SNOW and KEEN WIND
February Was ushered In With
Real Winter Weather.

A keen northwest wind followed the
six inches OF snow that fell Friday.
and by daylight Saturday morning the
mercury had been driven down to
four below zero. The snow drifted
badly and traffic as consequence
was slow until the paths were broken.
On the Iowa Central, passenger No.
5 north bound, due here at 1900 p.
m, was three hours late, leaving the
city at 800 this morning. No. 1
north bound, due here at 6:55 a. m.
was one hour and five minutes late
this morning. Passenger No. from
Albert Lea, Mimi, was three hours
late, reaching here at eight o'clock
this morning. The train left Albert
Lea on time, but encountered strong
wind and snow which impeded its
progress.
On the Rock Island the train from
the south was thirty-five minutes late,
while the train from Des MONIES was
one hour behind time.

IOWA IS GOOD ENOUGH
California Has its Attractions But
Mr.. Prime Is Satisfied Here.

The Kansas City Daily Drovers'
journal of Jan. 80 says:
&c. S. Prime, of oskaloosa, Iowa,
came in yesterday from an extended
trip to the Pacific coast, and stopped
OFF here to buy stockers. In his trav.
els Mr.. Prime went about the full
length Of California, passing down
through the great fruit districts to
Los Angeles. He also visited many
orange farms near the latter place.
He reports that spring fruit growers
are promised a, big crop, and expect
to get good prices, owing to the fact
that fruit all oyer this country east
of the mountains last season was very
short. But after looking at orange
groves and flowers it seems rather
good after all to reach these yards
and see the cattle and hogs. Cali
fornia may be alright, and it is a very
delightful place to visit, especially in
the winter time, but as for investing
in its soil, would hesitate. They
sell gold bricks out there in many
places. The tenderfoot must be on
the lookout visited Death valley,
and was in the near vicinity of Gold
field. Mining operations are being
increased in that country, and big en-
terprises are being engineered. But
1t is all of very fluctuating charac-
ter, and the corn belt looks more sub
stantial to me when it comes right
down to facts"

THEY BEAT THE DUTCH
0skaloosa High School Wins In
Basket Ball From pella.

The High school basket ball team
saved the reputation of local teams
from total destruction and added new
honors to their record in the contest
in the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium Friday
evening with the Pella High school
They certainly beat the Dutch" and
beat them right in a score of AZ to
10. The Pella youngsters were wholly
incapable OF making connections with
the basket at opportune times and
showed their lack of training while
the local lads were in good trim and
played a fast game although each side
was penalized numerous times for
foul plays. The contest was not brim
full of "grandstand" plays and the
score was too much one-sided af-
fair to make 1t intensely exciting but
nevertheless, what High school fans
were present gave frequent vent to
their enthusiasm. The Pella aggrega-
ton was plainly out-classed but they
took their defeat manfully and with
out a murmur.
The line up was as follows:
Pelia High School.
Forwards-Keables and Grezel.
Center-Van Spanckern.
Guards-Kuyper and Capt. Van

.ENAMELED BRICK
PLANT MAY GO.
NEW LIFE PUT INTO PROSPECTS
FOR THE PROJECT.
SUPPLEMENTARY CONTRACT.
American supply Co. Agrees To
Prove Their Product Before More
I Than 20 Percent Of Money On
Bonds is Paid.

New life was put into the Enam-
eled Brick project last night by the
receipt of a supplementary contract
signed by President Allbrook, of the
American Supply Co. In this he
agrees TO prove his product and pro-
duce marketable brick before more
than 20 percent OF the money is paid
for the purchase of the bonds.
This further agreement and the
fact that some people still seem to
think they are asked to buy stock in
place of guaranteed bonds inspired
the board to make another attempt
to interest our citizens in the propo.
sition. One man had stated to the
committee that he thought he could
name twenty men who would buy
81 900 each OF the bonds II the supple,
mentary contract was signed. II he
makes good the project will undoubt-
eddy go.
The board has labored faithfully for
six weeks on the proposition and had
about come to the conclusion that,
judging by the apathy of the people,
Oskaloosa did not care for any more
factories. AS is usual, however, In
moments of darkest danger, few
liberal fellows came TO the rescue and
volunteered to help push the project
off the breakers, and now one more
attempt will be made.
The project requires no bonus and
the money that is asked is simply a
guaranteed loan paying z per cent.
The bonds are what might be termed
gilt edged, and their sale will not
only be a boon to Oskaloosa, but a
good investment for all who sub
scribe.

to by the American Supply Company
are as follows:
Oskaloosa, Ia, Jan. 20, 1908.

contributed more to the social pleas
ures and qualities of the past than
has theirs. But when the hour OF
sickness came it was beautiful to see
the love and confidence each had for
the other. And how well do we all
know the toll and sacrifice the ten
der care and constant nursing that
she has given without murmur or
complaint through the long months OF
his last sickness. Her one thought
seemed to be, If she could only restore
him to health and strength again.
But it was not to be, and her reward
will only come when those two souls
are reunited in the great beyond. The
church, the lodge and numerous
friends have all given freely of their
aid, which was always cheerfully ac-
cepted, but the patient found his
greatest comfort and consolation IN
the knowledge that loving wife was
always near to answer to his slight
est wish. The funeral services were
held at the A. NJ E. church Saturday
afternoon under the auspices of Ma
pie Grove Lodge No. 16, A. F. & A.
NJ, who attended in body. The SER
vices were conducted by the pastor,
Rev. NJ. Payton, who was assisted by
Rev. w. L. Lee, of Wesley Chapel,
and the A. NJ. E. church choir. Inter
ment was made in Forest cemetery.
The pall-bearers were Ed Jones, Rob
ert Johnson, Robt. Franklin, Mack
Whitehead, Henry Dunlap and Pierre
Barquette, all members of the lodge.
Some very handsome tioral pieces
were sent by the employees of Hotel
Downing and other friends.
