Here is an item which might be
wc1th investigating by the city and
county officials: Letters have beer
sent to many of the cities of Iowa to
the effect that crushed rock will be
furnished free of charge from the
state prison quarries at Anamosa to
cities who desire to use the same for
paving or road making. The only
expense to the city is that 1t must
pay the freight. 1t is believed that
I many Iowa cities will take advantage
4 OF this offer, which means the saving
4 of considerable expense. It is the
opinion of the board OF control that
Iowa's roads may be materially bene
fitted in many cases by the use OF
stone The big prison quarries at
Auannosa, apparently are large enough
to be of assistance to all cities of
Iowa who desire to use the product
of the convict's labor.

ST. PAUL ARRIVES HERE.
Over Due 10 Line Steamer Arrived
This Mornins-chrst
Church Excursion
Today.

Old timers who CHANGED to be on
the river front last night, said this
morning that for a time it looked as
though the busy old steamboat days
OF the flfties and sixties had been re-
vived once more.
Five steamers lay at the bank at
one time and the picture presented
one not unlike the. steamer dock in
New York City. The large steamer
Dubuque OF the 10 line tied up at the
bank at 700 o'clock and an hour later
the packets Wenona and Keokuk land
ed at the warehouse after their days
run. The steamer North Star and
bow boat Harriet which had taken a
large log raft to the Taber Lumber
Co., came up stream during the even
ing and tied up at the bank until
1:45 this morning.
During the day the steamers H. W.
B. and Henry Bosse passed down
stream and taken altogether, yester-
day was the busiest in long while
in the steamboat business at this
port.
St. Paul Arrived.
The over due steamer st. Paul of
the Diamond 10 line arrived in port
this morning from st. Paul at 800
o'clock with large freight and pas
senger list. The boat was due to ar.
rive down stream yesterday but was
delayed enroute by heavy rains and
weather.
On her next trip up. the St. Paul
will leave st. Louis on Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock. The boat will ar
rive here some time Saturday even
ing and the St Louis agent OF the
beat reports that large number OF
st. Louisans will make the trip from
thar city to st. Paul.
Between st. Louis and Burlington,
| the st. Paul has little to do in hand
| ling of freight as the steamer Du-
buaue takes care OF the heavy end
Of that business.
| With only a few stops between here
ard st. Louis the boat is expected to
resch that city tonight at IL o'clock.

Fifteenth and Bank streets gave an

4 600 o'clock in the morning.
Canoe Over Locks.
With the sudden rise Of the rive
yesterday, the water in the cana
took an upward jump of couple o
feet which sent it over the Loci

canoeists who were out enjoying

STUDENTS CORNER
 GIRL ACTRESSES
Members of Jolly Bachelors Chorus Frightened in Vanderbilt Court,
 yard at Yale.


 Several chorus girls of "The Jolly Bachelors company had rather ex-. citing time yesterday afternoon with a number of Yale men on the Acad- emic campus and in Vanderbilt court yard on Chapel street, but one little English girl did not enjoy it at all, almost fainting from fright It hap pened soon after the rehearsal for the play that is to~start at the Hyperion tomorrow night. The students in Van derbilt saw nunaber of the prettiest members of this company leaving the stage entrance, called to them to cross the street and finally prevailed upon them to accept the invitation.
 The fun was at it's highest when a senior, Stephen Merrell Clement, jr, of Buffalos prominent man inMhis clasA and in social life, ordered the fun makers to disperse and they did so on the third invitation, after some of the girls had been somewhat scared.
 The little English girl, newcomer to America and the stage, was one, who was especially frightened at the frolic on the campus. She did not in any way understand American college boys and so when the girls were surround ed by a large crowd of yelling, crowd ing students, she thought, that the members of the company were in some danger of personal injury. After it was all over and the girls had made their escape upon the orders of MT. Clement, she was still nervous, but got over it before long.

TO RAISE SUNKEN
 CRUISER YANKEE
Especial from United Press.)

New Bedford, Mass, Oct. 27-With the huge rollers of heavy land swell breaking through her rigging the en- tire force of the Arbuckle Wrecking Company made an attempt to raise the sunken cruiser Yankee yesterday which but for a slight mishap to one of the compartments would have re- suited successfully.
 Long before daylight the Seabury, with her equipment of air pumping engines left this port bound for the cruiser. By o'clock the pipes were connected and the air was turned in to the compartments of the Yankee.
 As the vessel lies at the present time her bow is resting lightly on the surface of the mud while her skern is eeeply@ inbeded. For this reason it was necessary to force the air into the compartments at the stern of the vessel before any pressure was applied to the bow.
 The stern had been pumped full of air and the pipes leading to the for ward compartments had been turned on when it was discovered that owing to a leaking bulkhead it would be inn possible to continue the work Ac- cordingIy a large part of the equip ment left the scene and returned to this port prepared to make an early trip today.

Chamber of Commerce
 Proud of Distinction

The total membership of the New Haven chamber of commerce has now passed the 1000 membership mark and it becomes the largest commercial and civic body in New England outside of Boston.
 The chamber yesterday postponed it's extensive annual banquet in Woolsey hall to Dec. IA from Nov. 15, as had been planned, because of President Taft's inability to be present before that date on account of his November enga agements. MT. Taft suggested that the time of the December meeting of the Yale corporations as suiting his arrangements and finally fixed Dec. IA. Governor Woodruff and Col. Ull- man then secured the consent of Gov. Hughes to changing the date of his lecture at Yale to accord with Mr. Taft's date and consequently the two prominent men of the country will be at the banquet and speak.

IN THE THEATRES 5
PoLI's

One of the best acts on the Poli bill this week, and by the way they all do say it is a great bill. is the sharp shooters, the Two Vivians. They do some wonderful things. Although they are the closing act on the bill they hold the audience breathless until their act is finished.
 Ali Grant is at his best. He never disappoints us but it seems this time as though he is better, Gf that were possibleo, than ever. His stories seem to strike the popular vein, and the way he tells them has good deal of course to do with their popularity.
 Miss Gordon has completely won the hearts of all Bridgeport by her beau tiful singing. Her rendition of the 9R,ose Song sets the audience to thinking, but they sit up and take real notice before she finishes her acts
