covered Iowa and portions of Kansas
and Nebraska. His immediate future
is undecided but he desires a change

many friends among the travellers who
hope to see him return to road work
in the near future.

One Of the prettiest cities for It's
size in Iowa is Grinnell, situated at
the junction of the Rock Island and
iowa Central railroads, but one getting
off the trains at the union depot could
not possibly realize that they were in
Grinnell, for, without doubt, the rail-
road companies have the dirtiest hole
in the state 1t is disgrace that the
city does not make the company
clean up.

it will be the nearest they have ever
come to drawing on it.
