The first edition of the % was
issued Monday noon. 1t met with the
APPROVAL of every student. The front,
Iispiece is in maroon, and white paper
lis used, bringing out the colors OF the
school. The advertisers patronized
| the paper well, as there were four
teen pages of such printed matter.
EE
Art Openheimer, OF the Golden
Eagle, and an alumnus Of the school,
was so well pleased with the quality
of foot ball the team put up last Sat
lurday, that after the game he reward
ed the Athletic Association with ten
dollars in cash. Such donations as
this are we'll received and appreciate
ed. Who is next?
The tickets for the Grinnell foot
ball game which will be played here
next Saturday have been issued by
the manager OF the team, Harter Hull,
and almost every student has the lit
tie yellow ticket.
| The possibilities of having a girls
basket ball team in the school are
rapidly taking form. The girls have
begun in earnest and about twenty
five of the feminine sex met in the
principals office Tuesday evening to
discuss the matter thoroughly. A
number of the girls are very enthusl-
astic over the proposition and have
begun TO name the positions they will
try ont for. Such an organization as
this would be good thing for the
school and could be made financial
success if rightly launched. Keep the
ball rolling. BE-. -.
The Aristos Literary Society met
in regular session Tuesday evening in
Society hall, and good program was
given.
The members of the foot ball team
and the school in general are rejoic.
ing over the result of the foot ball
game last Saturday. While the boys
did not beat East High, they held
them to stand-still, thereby placing
our team in Glass A and giving a
chance at the state championship on
next Saturday when we meet the Grin
nell team. This will be one OF the
most strenuous games OF the season,
as the state honors depend on that
game. 1t is reported that the Grinnell
team is larger than the Oskaloosa
team, but the game will be a fight
from start to finish. Come out and
help the boys win.

Full of Water.

The rains of Monday night and
Tuesday morning had the effect of
filling ponds and streams that have
been dry and empty for months. The
fall OF water was heavy and coming
upon the heels Of other storms that
have saturated the ground, the great,
.er amount of the water ran off as
surface drainage. Farmers who have
been short Of water supply will have
an ample amount for some time. The
rivers and creeks of the county all
show advanced stages of water.

TO srRAeHrENissxuNk RIVER

A petition has been presented 10
the Jasper county board of superEis-
Iors to straighten Skunk river from
the town of Colfax' to the Mahaska
county line. 1t is the intention OF the
petitioners to take out the crooks and
turns of the river and to use about
.one-half of the old channel in the con-
struction of the new river. The new
channel is to be forty feet wide and
by shortening the distance to be trav-
eled will give an average fall of six
inches to the mile. nearly double the
present fall.
The cost will be paid by an assess
.ment against the property benefited
and will cover an area of about three
quarters of a mile on either side OF
the river. 1t is figured the improve
ment will cost about $500 per acre.
AS nearly all of the property owners
that will be affected have expressed
a Willingness to stand the assessment,
there seems nothing:in the way to pre-.
went the completion, of the work. ...r
1t is said by those who should know
that it will increase the value of the
bottom lands not less than $4,000 per
acre. .r.. ... ..r...
Oskaloosa has an especial interest
in this undertaking, as Skunk river
is the source, Of this citys water sup
ply. ,...
