big LOSS TO OTTJIMWA
Board of Equalization May Kill an
Iowa Enterprise.

Ottumwa, April 2S.-Rumors OF the
receipt this morning by a local bank
Iof a telegram from a Sioux Falls, 8.
ID, concern inquiring into the financial
standing of the John Morrell Co., Linn
lited, coupled together with the fact
THAT Thomas d. Foster and John HI.
Morrell president and assistant man
lager respectively, have gone 20 Sioux
Falls, has created stir of apprehen-
lsion among the industrial circles of
lOttumwa. Although nothing will be
given out at the local head offices of
the concern, it is generally conceded
that the recent action of the board of
Equalization, in raising the valuation
of the company's real estate from
$264,1 $50 to $414,16O and the personal
property from s216,660 to $5O0,000 is
directly responsible for this business
trip to Sioux Falls.
What the heads of the corporation
contemplate is yet merely matter of
conjecture but in conversation with
Oh0 vi otluhiNa uloSL lCpuldOiS JUST
ness men, shortly before leaving OF
tumwa, Mr.. Foster gave an linking Of
a radical change in the big Ottumwa
|plant if the new valuations reached by
the board of equalization were sus-
tanned after the objections have been
filed.
Mr.. Foster is quoted as saying that
the Ottumwa plant is too firmly and
successfully established here to con-
template a removal at present, but at
the same time, he asserted, 1T is very
likely that Morrell & Co. may pur-
chase another plant elsewhere where
a good proposition presents itself, and
devote the greater share of its interest
10 this new plant.

ject, that is, dig ditch to get rid OF
the water That ditch is capable OF
carrying nine times what the original
stream would carry, and that means
ditch dug to take care of the entire
flood flow. This is all wrong II view
ed in the light of real stream control
and the full development of the pos
sibilities of the stream. The stream
channel has been Strengthened and a
large additional ditch has peen dug
parallel to the stream. The straight
ening of the stream enamel does not
cost more than one-third oil the entire
cost of this project. This alone would
have been sufficient if broad com.
prehensive plan of control of all the
water in the entire watershed were
being worked out and constructed
Two-thirds of that half-million saved
from ditch digging would nave gone
far toward the entire plan of stream
control and water power development.
