Wants New Plumbing Ordinance.
~Editpr T.-R.: We have received
your communication relative to Mar
1. shalltown and its future and we, as
other business men, look forward to a
/. thrifty growth and the making Of a
city Of the first class. Tenants and
owners are demanding better buildings
and equipments thruout and the old
structures along our business streets
must give way to more modern struct-
ures. This city IS in need of a public
comfort and rest station, thus making
business trip for strangers a real
p1easure trip.
There IS another important feature,
one that is entirely overlooked. This
city needs a good. up-t,-d date plumbing
ordinance, and the appointment of a
/ plumbing inspector. We are away be-
hind other cities In Iowa Of our class
In this respect, and while the shops of
Marshalltown are turnillg out work that
+ would pass an inspection, there still
turks an element OF danger inasmuch
as no one inspects or tests the drain
age, waste pipes and traps of a sys-
tenn OF plumbing, great or small. Here
Is where the real danger hes. Nothing
IS sure until tested, no matter how
honest and painstakinly the contractor
may be. Cracked materials and other
defects can only be found by the proper
tests. This is the owners only protec-
ton against what Is classed rs poor
plumbing. No matter how good It looks.
or how we'll It works. there Is still the
chance OF sewer gas finding its way
thru INFESTED work.

Merchant. Investing a Home.

Editor T.-R: have been a resi-
dent Of our city for nearly thirty years,
and never have the prospects for Mar
shaNtown, in my estimation, looked
brighter So many OF our good farm
ers, who have become Independently
rich In the past few years, not only
from the big prices they have received
( for their products and stock, but from
the great increase in prices of land,
are moving to town and buying or
& building homes, and good ones, too,
thus enabling their children to have
the advantage Of our schools, public
library, etc.
rOur merchants are all doing well.
There have been no failures in business
FOR two or three years Of any consid-
cradle amount, that remember, and
all seem to be making, money. Quite a
number of our merchants, who a few
years ago were heavily in debt, now
have their stocks all clear and are in
Svesting their surplus funds either in
business blocks or flats to rent, or are
building fine homes for themselves and
families, all Of which helps our city
as well as themselves, and shows thrift
and prosperity.
All OF our manufacturers are doing
well, and many increasing their ca
pacity and thus giving employment to
hundreds Of men and bringing new
families to our city. Many Of our
business men have taken stock in
our manufacturing companies as side
Investments, which are bringing in
good returns.
From the many real estate transfers
s Of late in our city, it would seem that
our people were beginning to realize
the advantage of owning their own
homes instead Of renting. Real estate
seems ito be on the boom and bringing
good prices In the west and north
west part Of our city, where have no.
rticed it the most. and presume it is
the same in other parts Of the city. In
fact. we are told by the people who
visit here. especially on a Saturday
night, that I'VE have, the biggest town
of $1,000 people they ever saw.

clJlRANrHlNO BANK DEPOSITS


Perhaps mach sooner than ex-
pected By its friends, the Okla.
homa law guaranteeing the de
posits in banks has been put to
the test. A large trust company
Of the State has failed, but the re
ports say that there was no.
t'run" on the institution by the
depositors. They believed their
money was safe. And SO i.
proved to lie
The depositors under the law
are paid out Of the available as
sets Of the bank and the state
guarantee fund. The deposilors
therefore have no cause to
worry. ,
As a result of the failure a
special assessment has been
levied against the other banks of
the State to meet the emergency
and naturally those banks do not
like ths idea of being forced to
contribute to make up for the
losses of other people
Il seems that the bank which
closed its doors was mismanaged
and that the State Banking
Board should have prevented the
mismanagement, but it did net do
so. Although this criticism may
be made of the State Banking
Board of Oklahoma it can also be
made of government officials
whenever a national bank col.
lapses. The difference in result
is that under the present govern.
ment supervision the depositors
may lose their money while in
Oklahoma it seems that deposi
tors are to lose nothing.
Much of the success of the
Oklahoma plan will depend on
the supervision Of state officials.
The principal objection to tie
plan is that it isl temptation te
wild cat banking. But it may
also be said that in some parts Of
the country there is at present
wild cat banking. With other
banks Of that State liable fol
losses incurred by any institution
under the Oklahoma law it woult
seem that the other banks should
be particularly concerned to SEE

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
IN MACHINE COG WHEELS
EmpIoye in Carpet Cleaning Estab-
lishment Suffers Crushed Leg and
Amputation Found Necessary

Frank Woodford, 25 years old, en-
ployed by the Pioneer Steam Carpet
Cleaning works, 833 South Olive street,
had narrow escape from being crush
ed to death when his right leg
became entangled in the cogs of a car
pet cleaning machine yesterday after
noon. Fellow Worl1men rushed to his
assistance, but before the machinery
could be stopped Woodford's leg was
terribly mangled. He was taken to the
Crocker street hospital, where the
surgeons amputated the injured leg
above the knee. The surgeons says he
will recover.
WoOdford was operating the machine
and had leaned over to adjust loose
connection. In some manner his foot
got caught in the wheels and was
thrown between the cogs. He made a
desperate effort to extricate his foot,
but the sharp iron bit through his shoe
and held him and drew his leg into the
machinery. He called for help, but be-
fore assistance reached him and the
machine stopped his leg had been
ground to pieces.
Woodford lives at 245O1s South Main

Head of Local Weather Bureau Will
Have Control of Service Bearing
Directly on Aqueduct
Enterprise

= An important extension of the local
weather bureaus work, which is of
special value in connection with the
Owens river aQueduct, has been made
by Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief Of the
weather bureau, in placing the local
forecaster, A. B. Wollaber, in charge
of subdivision of the water resources
service of the weather bureau. The
territory embraced includes Owens lake
and it's tributaries, and the greater
part Of Southern California east Of the
aqueduct line to the city Of Los An
geles.
1.-The water resources service Of the
weather bureau for the semi-arid re-
gion is designed to cover a new series
of Genealogical observations and re-
searches" said Mr.. Wollaber yester-
day. "These are on the supply of wa
ter derived from the snow and rainfall
of high attitudes in western mountains
for the rivers and reservoirs of lower
levels; the study Of the evaporation
of water from lakes and storage ba-
sins; meteorological problems of the
influence of forests on the conservation
Of water, and the protection of arabic
lands and the meteorological conditions
necessary for the growth of certain
valuable plants, such as the date and
fig, in irrigated desert regions.
AS soon as possible II is expected TO
secure competent observers for rain
and snowfall in remote districts of the
mountains, especially in the snow
fields. For the measurement of the
snowfall it is proposed to install spe-
cially constructed bins, vertical scales
and snow gauges. Special forms have
been prepared for recording the depth
of snowfall and its water equivalent"
Mr.. Wollaber will make trip over
the territory in his district to secure
observers and arrange for installation
of special gauges. He is taking UP the
preliminary work, and will make a
full report at an early date to Prof.
Moore regarding the water resources
work in the Los Angeles district.

son, formerly a janitor in the Central
club, presented himself to Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Alexander yesterday as
evidence Of the treatment he had re-

Cursor claims he was showed from
the sidewalk and rolled in the gutter
on East First street by a dealer in
secondhand clothing with whom he
engaged in a controversy. He stopped
to look in the window of the store at
107 East First street when the pro-
prietor came out and is alleged to have
solicited his trade. Cursor admits that
he reminded the dealer it was against
the law to solicit in the street, where
upon the man is alleged to have showed
his adviser into the gutter and rolled
him in the mud. Cursor was persuaded
to drop the case.
