mammoth relay run to be held next
spring among boys of the state associ-

secretary, w. III. Babcock, this run will
almost equal the great race made by
Y. boys from New York to Chicago.
The plan is to arrange the course in
an order which will touch almost ev-

able order will be to start at Dubuque
from there to Waterloo, going thru
Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Davenport.
Muscatine, Burlington, Fort Madison,
Keokuk, Mt. Pleasant, Ottumwa, Os-
kaloosa, Marshalltown, Des Moines,
Boone, Ft. Dodge and ending at Sioux

be approximately $50 miles.
This run is being planned as an in
centive to boys turnout the state to do
more work in the gymnasium this win
ter. Only boys under 1s years of age
would be allowed to take part, and the
probable distance covered by each run
ner would be from one-half to a mile,
according to the size of the cities and
distances between.

Waterloo, Aug. AT a meeting of
the directors of the Cedar Valley I'M
provelnent Company held yesterday, a
very satisfactory move was made in
forwarding the plans for the holding
Of northern Iowa fair in Waterloo
next year. The company makes a do
nation of $4,000 toward the fund Of
$4,000 or $4,000 which will be re-
quired.
The improvement company. by .
vote of the directors, throws into the
new corporation, which will be organ
lied to finance the fair, its track of IS
acres of ground south OF the city on
the La Porte road and it now is be-
lieved that the project will be easy
of accomplishment. Options on So
acres Of land belonging to the Grip
pen estate have been secured and the
tract Of practically 70
acres is one of the best in Iowa for
tlie size VI Kali with I'D oSG NiNShSs
exhibition halls and other buildings.
This tract OF ground, previously de-
scribed, is bounded on the west and
south by the La Porte road, on the
north by the Rock Island tracks and
on the east by the Murphy farm.
Present plans contemplate the ex-
tension of the street car lines to the
site. and in any event the officials OF
the Rock Island have agreed to make
ample provision to care for all traf-
fic, both freight and passenger.
The action of the Cedar Valley
Company has been ru
mored for some time. The land
which it throws to the fair associa-
ton was purchased two years ago at
a valuation of over $4,000 and has
enhanced in value since that time.
The company takes in exchange stock
ii the fair association. 1t is believed
that the balance of the funds can
readily be secured by sale of stock.
The stock win command a good price
on account of the rising value of the
real estate holdings
