ANOTHER One IN SIGHT
Improvements Of 120, 122 and 124
High Avenue Contemplated.

Another three-story building is in
sight for High avenue west. A miro
story may be pIt ON the Chas. Beadle
building, Nos. i2U 1872 and 124 High
avenue west, trbaung. sixty faat On
High avepu2 'i,ia improvement, TO-
ether vita the new Baldauf brildins
and the Howar improvements will
make big change in Oskaloosa's sky
line. The inquiries of possible rent
ers for desirable accommodations on
second and third floors have caused
Mr.. Beadle to have an examination of
his building made and plans for a
third story, sixty feet on High avenue
and 100 feet on A street, are now be-
ing made. A local mercantile house
desires part of the building and a
local lodge is an applicant for a por.
ton of the added space. 5
To make the Improvement possible
the taking out of the present fronts
of the building becomes necessary
and the building will have the appear
ance of an entirely new structure.
The cost of the Improvement cannot
be estimated until the plans are com
pleted.

Review Of the Past Week BY Direct
Of Of Weather Bureau.

81 i 49, a. "a y.
Des Monies, week ending July "a
The mean temperature for the past
week was slightly below the normal,
the days being bright ana hot and
the nights moderately cool! The rain.
fall was much below the average and
badly distributed, few localities re
porting copious showers while the
bulk of the state received little if amy
relief, and the drouth is unbroken.
The heaviest rainfall. as in the past
two weeks was reported from the
northwestern counties, but copious
showers occurred in some localities
in the northeastern district. Corn has
held its own remarkably well and up
to date has suffered little If any dam
age, but the crop has reached the dan
ger line and will begin to retrograde
II rain does not come soon. In some
localities where showers have not oc-
CURED recently, the plants wilt and
the leaves curl during the day, but
still maintain healthy color. The
bulk of the hay and small grains have
been cut and secured in excellent con-
dition. Threshing is becoming gen.
eral and early reports indicate a full
average yield, and the quality of all
grain is far superior TO anything We
have had for several years. PasturageI
is so short that stock feeding is neces-
sary in many localities. The potato
crop continues to deteriorate except
where heavy showers have occurred.
Following is the estimated crop
acreage in Iowa for 1910, as based on
returns from crop correspondents
and township assessors Corn. g..

wheat, 2s3,s50; winter wheat, 1880;
