the state industrial school team Of I'll

made good use of two costly errors and
the score sheet at the close showed s

Physical Director Dawson umpired
the game, with entire satisfaction to
both sides. There were twelve strike
outs by Knight, pitching for the in
dustrial school, and ten by Ed Swing

team got five hits off knight and the
visitors four off Swingley.

would be almost impossible to transfer
from place to place q real locomotive
for use in the exhibition. The difficulty
was overcome, however, but only by
bringing into use the latest invention
OF modern times. AS a basis for Buff
falo Bills imitation locomotive an ordi-
nary truck, propelled by electricity, is
used. To present the appearance of
real driving wheels of locomotive, it
was necessary to reconstruct the
wheels of the truck. Yankee ingenuity
devised an arrangement for the engine
which puffs black smoke from the
stack, with attendant spasmodic noise
of real engine. A whistle, bell and
powerful electric headlight are also pro-
vided. The engineer in the cab Of the
engine operates all of its devices, just
as a railroad engineer handles his iron
horse. Such an exceptional novelty in
the streets of any city as this like
ness to a locomotive, trailed by its cars
has never been shown in any part Of
the world by any organization.

ADVICE OF HEAD OF STATE COL.

MARsToN WILL COME
TO VIEW SITUATION
Council, as Committee Of tho Whole,
Discusses Tank Question Behind
Closed Doors-Herman Stands Out
for Own Views, Regardless of Juds-
ment of Others.

The city council, as committee of
the whole. wrestled with the elevated
tank situation behind closed doors
Wednesday afternoon, and the result
was that most of the members agreed
to be guided largely by the Judgment
of Prof. A. Marston, head of the de-
partment of engineering of Iowa State
College, Anles, as to the advisability of
erecting the tank. Mr.. Marston was
consulted over the long distance phone
by the mayor, and agreed to visit the
city either this afternoon or Friday.
With Professor Lambert, head of the
state university engineering depart
ment, advising the tank in connection
with the water works system in the
event of the changes as contemplated,
and superintendent Hans Madsen. of
the pumping station, recommending
the tank. most members of the coun-
ell think that their Judgment should
count for something A willingness
was expressed to call Professor Mar
ston into the case, and obtain his
views.
Necessary With Water Power.
The idea in rebuilding the pumping
station is to utilize the water power of
the Iowa river for pumping. and if this
is done Professor Lambert has de-
clared that an elevated tank is a ne
cessity. I norder to equalize the draw,
,t.air
mains when there is a marked var
lance in the draw.
superintendent Madsen holds the
same view, and before the committee
Wednesday afternoon staked his repu-
tation as an engineer, and an exper-
fence of twentyfour years In the
same plant, as to the advisability of
installing the tank. Nrr Madsen ex-
pressed the view that the water, vita
the tank in operation, would not vary
two degrees from the present tempera-
ture, if at all, and then the difference
would be noticeable only near the
tank Down town Mr.. Madsen did not
think there could possibly be any diff
ference. AT a meeting of the council
several weeks ago. when the tank
question was brought up It was stated
by Madsen that he was willing to post
a $1,000 forfeit in any bank on his
judgment being good on the temper
allure question.
Nothing in Bloomington Story.
According to the mayor there is
nothing in Mr.. Herman's Bloomington,
Ill. story, about the water there being
unfit to drink because Of an elevated
tank. The mayor called up the mayors
office at Bloomington Wednesday, and
was Informed that the city was hav-
ing no trouble with its water at all,
and did not possess an elevated tank
The city does operate an old fashioned
stand pipe, however.
Mr.. Herman has not changed his
position IN the tank question, how
ever, and announced flat-footedly that
it would make no difference to him
what Professor Lambert, Professor
Marston, or any one else said, he was
against the tank

A GOOD FISH STORY
Western Grocer Catch in Puse. Sound
is Something Appalling for One
Weeks Work-Fish on Way for
Spawning.

Mr.. Abner A. Andrews returned last
week from Puget Sound and tells of
the big run of fish there last week.
The catch which they made in their
traps was something tremendous and
approaches a real Ash story. The
catch for the six days was as follows:
Monday, 5000 fish: Tuesday, 1000;
Wednesday, $500; Thursday, 1000;
Friday, $4,000: Saturday, $4,000: maxi
ing total of $500 for the six days.
These fish weigh all the way from
eight to twenty pounds apiece and will
be properly canned and shipped to
Marshalltown wholesale houses and the
other branches of the Western Grocer
Company.
This enormous catch is because 1t is
the year of the big run of salmon. The
salmon make a famous journey every
four years from the salt water up into
fresh water streams for the purpose of
spawning, and this is the big year.
They make a run every year Of course.
but they belong to another four year
cycle and this Is the big cycle. The
habit of the salmon Is to take to salt
water as soon as they are Matched
from the spawn and not return for
four years when they in turn go UP
a gain to perform the mission Of per-
petuating their species. The salmon are
caught in traps and in some places by
wheels on the shore, the stream acting
as the propeller Of the net attached,
which lifts them out of the water and
throws them into place prepared for
them on shore as they fall over.
While there Mr.. Andrews visited the
cannery and was taken all thru it.
He says that one would be surprised
at the cleanliness of the entire plant,
and the care which is used to see that
just the right part Of the fish is
packed in the can. If you can't make
the trip ask Alb about it or buy can
of Cameo salmon and as you eat it
imagine the scene. Tell the cook.

IMPORTANT DEAL is ON
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Com

Plant at East Quarry-Probabilitie
Are Capacity Will Be Greatly in
creased.

An important business deal, involving
the sale of the east quarries of the Lee
Grand Quarry Company, of this city, is
being negotiated, with prospects good
for a consummation within a short
time. For several weeks past an in
vestigation has been carried on by the
Northwestern engineering department,
with a view of purchasing the quarries
for use as a crushing plant, with the
object of furnishing TIE railroad with
ballast.
In the event of the sale the prob
abilities are that the railroad company
will greatly enlarge the capacity of the
plant, and put a large force Of men at
work in getting out ballast for the
double main line across Iowa
If the sale is perfected it may lead
to the redeveloprnert of the LeGrand
Quarry Company's Timber creek quar-
ries, on the Iowa Central, which have
been idle for about three years.
The LeGrand company's property at
East Quarry comprises about forty
