WORK ON sANAroRluM SITE.
Over $4,000 to Be Spent This Year
on Pro ject at Nevada.


on Project at Nevada.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, June 3O.-The committee in
charge Of the funds raised by the citi-
zens of Nevada for the promotion of
the location of the Iowa sanitorium
here, with Pete Shugart, the contrac-
tor, County Surveyor Wells and 9TH
ers interested, went over the ground
at the end of Pine street, where a
large grade is to be made from that
point, across the bottom to Indian
creek, where the county is to erect a
cement bridge spanning the creek, inn
mediately in front of where the sani-
forum buildings are to be erected. The
contract was let to Mr.. Shugart, for
grade averaging in height from eight
feet near the approach to the bridge
to ten feet at the base of the Hill at
the end Of Pine street. Mr.. Shugart
put force of men and teams on the
work Saturday, and will have it COM
pleted within ten days.
Across the creek, a force of teams
has been at work for some days, MAX
ing a cut for road way around the
hill, from the bridge, to the eastward
and up a ravine into the opening near
the sanatorium site proper. A tenn
porary bridge has already been erect
ed, and as soon as this roadway Is
made possable, the material will be
transported to the grounds.
It Is hoped that within few weeks
the plans will be accepted, and all
road work and bridge work will be
completed, making the site accessible,
and work on the erection Of the build
ings will then proceed. Something
over $4,000 will be expended this
year, and 1t will put a large amount
of money in circulation in Nevada,
and furnish work for a number of me-
chanics and laborers.

| Des Mones, June 3O.-The weekly
| weather and crop bulletin, issued today
by Director Chapel, says:
The most favorable weather condi-
lions of the season prevailed during
the past week. The average temperA-
ture was about two degrees above the
normal with an excessive amount OF
sunshine, and but very little rainfall
up to Saturday night. Thunderstorms,
with light to heavy showers, were gen
eral over the larger part OF the state
Saturday night, the heaviest rainfall
being reported from the central coun-
ties.
There have been from four to six
days during the week favorable Tor
field work, and the cultivation Of corn
has been continued vigorously. Most of
the early planted corn on high or we'll
drained ground has been plowed the
third time and some fields have all
ready been laid by in good condition
The excessive sunshine and brisk
winds have enabled farmers to plan.
and cultivate fields which have hereto
fore, been too wet.
The size of corn is exceedingly var
liable, ranging from two to three inches
high on low, wet land to the regular
Fourth Of July standard on high lands.
On the whole, the conditions are much
better than could have been expected
three weeks ago.
The weather has been favorable for
the growth and development of all
small grains. But very little rust has.
as vet, been reported, and the pros
poets for good crops are very promis-
ing. Glover hay making has begun in
all parts OF the state, and the crop is
being put up in good condition, with
very heavy yields
Timothy, potatoes. and all garden
truck have made excellent growth.
Fruit Of all kinds vary from very poor
to two-thirds Of a normal crop.

CDD Use FOR BREAD.


Perhaps the most novel use to
which read is put may be seen in
the great factories OF the Elgin Ma
t.onal Watch Company at Elsin. III,
where more than forty loaves Of
fresh bread are required each day
Supt. George Z. Hunter Of the watch
factory, is qroted Is saying;
There Is no secret regarding the
use of bread in this factory, ana
am wiling to tell all ] can concern
Ing IT, From the earliest times in
the history of watch making 1t has
been the custom Of watchmakers to
reduce fresh bread to the form Of
dough This is done by the steam
ing and kneading. They then use
this dough for removing oil and
chips that naturally adhere, in the
course of manufactures, to pieces as
small as a part of watch. There
are many parts of a watch that are
so small as to be barely visible to the
naked eve, The oil is absorbed by
this dough and the chips stick to ii,
and there is no other known sub
stance which can be used as a wiper
without leaving some Of its PARTICLES
attached to the thing wiped. This
accounts for the continued use q
bread dough In the Matchmaking in
dustry. The Elgln National Watch
Case Company uses something over
40 2-po0nd loaves a day, or about
24.000 pounds q year.--Amor.can
