Our great western region in soil, eli

pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Nov. 20.-The business in
terests of Waterloo, irrespective of
party politics, are uniting to make Rep
resentative Guy A. Feely speaker Of the
Iowa state house of representatives. In
the effort to secure this distinction for
Mr.. Feely. his friends believe that in
aeleoting him to the place, they are
heaping honors on this city.
Mr.. Feelys first term in the legisla-
ture made him one of the most i'm
portant members of that body. He was
always in his place. ready to attend to
the desires of his constituents and he
also introduced and had passed legis-
lation of state wide Importance. In this
connection, the most momentous bill
altered by Mr. Feely was that per-
.taining to corporations forming pools
and trusts. An old statute relating to
this feature of the business had been
passed by the twenty-third general as
sembly in the early COS. This law pro-
vided penalty that was declared I'M
constitutional. 1t enacted that any con-
victed corporation would be subject to
a fine from to 20 per cent Of it's cap
ital stock. The courts held that this
penalty was practically confiscatory
and declared the law was void.
For years this unconstitutional stat
ute stood unchanged on the statute
books. No. enc, until Mr.. Feely came
upon the scene had suggested any
remedial legislation. Mr.. Feely took
the matter up and had the law amend
ed so that the violating corporation
is subject to fine Of from $500 to
$4,000.
This law has been declared valid
and is operative against any lawless
trust within the states borders.
Governor Cummins and all the state
leaders have complimented Mr.. Feely
for this bill. It is one Of the most i'm
portant laws on Iowa's books. In adj
dition to this Mr.. Feely took father
ly interest in the Iowa State Normal
school at Cedar Falls. His work for
that institution made him popular all
over the commonwealth.

Mayor w. r. Strimback has received
a communication from Governor Cum
minis informing him that he had been
appointed as one of the delegates from
the state of Iowa to the congress. The
appointment comes as quite an honor
to tho mayor when it is considered that
but two men from Iowa were to be APP
pointed by the governor and keokuk
likewise takes pride in the honor.
Keokuk is recognized as one of the
river cities of the west where the ag-
itation for Improvement of the rivers
is taken up in earnest and where the
citizens are enthusiastic about the
project for the betterment Of the river
Besides the mayor. l.. A. Hamill has
also been appointed as one of the sew
en- delegates to represent the Upper

citation.
So Keokuk will have two delegates at
least at the congress which is second
only in Importance to the national con
gress of the United States.

Topeka. Kan, Nov. 20.-The real

Detectives had watched the place day

that the evidence was good enough
they swooped down on the tappers and
corralled the whole gang in the house.
Three of the men had glasses in their

The pipes were supplied from a

Mason City. Nov. 2O.-The brood of
prairie wolves that have lived for many
years unmolested in the rough brakes
of Lime creek in Lincoln township are
to be soon driven from their lairs and
into the open country away from the
thick brush and deep ravines by a big
wolf hunt The wolves are bold this
year Many hunters in Lincoln have
caught sight of the wary beasts much
too far away for shot ito be effective
The farmers are paying toll to the ma
rauders in lambs and calves and the
wierd cry of their kind has of late been
frequently heard.
The big wolf hunt will be of the con-
centric variety and is now being or
ganiZed by Joe Konvalinka of this city
The plan is to secure fifty or more
huntsmen and as many good dogs as
possible. They will form in circle
miles in circumference and beat thru
the wild lands of the Lime creek brakes
driving everything living toward a
common center. The thick tangled
brush will be thoroughly thrashed and
the deep ravines closely guarded. AT
the end Of the hunt when the circle of
hunters approach the center and the
close, of the drive the quarry will be
forced to leave cover.
Many Wolves There.
Those who have hunted most in that
portion of the county say that there
are many wolves there and that the
hunt should drive many Of them to the
center of the circle. Besides the wolves
there will doubtless be many foxes for
hunters have this fall seen many of the
sly Renards and a few have even sue
| ceeded in bagging them Then too there
will be rabbits in llordes.
The big hunt is only being delayed
to await the coming of the first real
snowfall. The coming of the snow and
the colder weather will make it posi-
BILE for the wolves to be tracked when
once started from their lairs. The hunt
is to be prepared for in every way
known to skilled hunters and even the
accustomed running places of the
wolves will be known before the hunt
takes place

100000 acres divided in fortN and
eighty acre farms are now ready for
homeseekers. These farms are open to
settlement under the homestead act,
subject to the provisions of the re-
clamation law The soil and climate are
such that with the assured water sup
ply which the government guarantees,
maximum harvests are insured Intelli-
gent farming on these projects is re-
warded by larger returns than in humid
regions and the crop products are as
diversified as can be grown in the mid
die west
On the Huntley project in Montana
nearly forty families came from two
townships in Iowa and their success
this year is certain to bring large
number this winter and next spring.
Twenty families month are going
on the Shoshone project in Wyoming.
nearly all of whom come from the mid
die west There still remain farms for
several hundred lome-builders on
these projects, and the opportunity is
worthy of the careful consideration Of
every man who is seeking independence
and life in the open, where a maxi
mum reward is assured for his labors.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The govern
ment wants to know why intelligent
we'll do farmers from the Mis-
sissippi valley continue to flock to
the Canadian wilderness to take up
homes under foreign flag while in
viting and attractive opportunities for
settlers are still open on many of the
reclamation projects in the west. While
there has been a decided falling Oft
in the movement from this country
into the northwest territories, the num-
Der of our desirable citizens who are
leaving the United States to take up
farms in Canada is large and efforts
should be made to divert them to the
several sections of our own country
where just as good, II not better, oppor-
tunities exist for the, homeseekers.
The national government is big

tise, while Canada expends large sums

course, the police department. .
John l.. Hamery. superintendent OF
this department, had scarcely entered
his office before he placed the police
under military discipline. The men
were,put to work drilling under skilful
drillmasters, who had seen actual army
service New uniforms We're put upon
the men; the old slovenly manner in
which beats were covered was eradi-
Gated.
Then Mr.. Hamery established a night

short talks upon police duties. city or
dinances. state statutes, and along such
lines as would be of greatest benefit.
Police andt firemen had already beeh
chosen by civil service, and in this the
new law made no changes.

cut out the slot machines from the cl-
gar stores. He their declared war on
speeding automobiles, and for these two
crusades, the first attempted use OF the
right Of recall was invoked. By the
right of recall as provided in the Des

to do as the people wish. may be forced
to call special election. Then. if the

The attempt of the cigar men and au-
tomobilists to GUST Hamery was never

Mr.. Hamery's latest and most sensa-

the red-light district. He closed every
resort in the city ard placed evidence
before the grand jury which showed a
sensational whitesslave traffic and re-

of this crusade on the resorts is peing

CONTEST ELECTION IN BUTLER
Democratic Candidate for Sheriff to
Put Up Eioht,

.
Allison. Nov. 20.-There is a pos
sibility Of contest here over the Of
fee of sheriff. James Spain, the DEM
ocratic candidate, ran far in advance
of his ticket and lost the county by
3s, on the face Of the returns, but he
alleges that irregularities in certain
polling precincts will overcome this
and recount may be necessary.
Sheriff Hill was the republican can
didate and has served the county in
the capacity of sheriff during the past
two years.
More than 80 ballots were thrown
out as irregular, because Of improper
markings and the vote of any one of
the townships in the county would
decide the matter. There is consider
able dissatisfaction over the result and
later developments within the near
future may determine whether a con-
test will be made or not.
