An additional force of laborers are
expected to arrive this evening from
Chicago, where they have been EN-.
ployed by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad. The consignment
will contain approximately thirty, all
of which will be Italians. Today was
pay day for the men and the large
force received their compensation in
checks. AS has been previously stat
ed, this is the only Day In the entire
month when the mems names are re-
quired.
No word has been received at the
water power offices regarding the stub
track that is to be constructed from
the Hamilton depot to the present
scene of work. The company, how.
ever, is grading for the tracks near
their work on the O'Hara property
and will have the switches built ac-
cording to their specifications. 1t was
announced at the local Wabash of
flee that nothing new had been learned
regarding the stub but It is thought
the plans are still being carefully
studied in the main office.

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Feb. -Wheat--Weath
er conditions generally seasonable.
Cincinnati Price Current reports the
winter crop maintaining its general
condition. Also that interior market
ing of grain is on a larger scale in
some sections. Waterman Is credited
with controlling the entire stock and
taking advantage of this condition to
scalp the long side of May wheat on
the soft spots. AS futures congest
easily owing to the small amount of
hedges and opportunities for manipu-
latlon seem to be unusually good.
Corn-Cincinnati Price Current ad-
vises that corn husking has proceed
ed favorably. Attention is called to
the fact that marketable hay stocks
are much reduced The shortage of
the hay crop to which attention is
drawn by this by advice is an Inn
portant factor in maintaining coarse
grain prices.
Oats-This market has been the
subject of attack by local bear spec
ulators for sometime past The hay
shortage Is likely to be an important
factor in maintaining oats on high
level. Their relative cheapness will
surely mean reduction of spring
acreage unless values are changed
September and July seem particu-
larly cheap. We believe oats should
be bought on any reasonable break or
even at present figures.

when the Mississippi dam is complet-
ed, is expected some relief when Chief
Engineer Hugh L. Cooper arrives from
New York city during the latter part
of next week
The present status as to the COM
pany's future Is such as can only be
put into form by theories. AS far
as is known locally the water power
company has made no advances what

might be constructed about the plant
to keep the water back, but it is I'M
derstood that the railway company
does not look with favor upon this,
as the seeping through of water which
might eventually happen, would be
ruinous to the valuable machinery.
Cost Enormous
1T the water power company took
over the electric light plant it would
cost in the neighborhood of $500, 900.
The plant has such machinery as a

chimes, three motors used for driving
generators, three boilers. two smaller

Look real close-'tis over there
Said Sweet Slumber, with smile;
Wen be on it after while"
Soon he cried to Wings of Night,
"Stop and let us both alight"
Down they scrambled and ran round
On that strange and mystic ground.
Tousel said, well, I declare!
See those wings-a great big pair!"
"Sure!" Sweet slumber said, you know
Those wings on this island grow;
Round and round it always files
Far from earth-'way in the skies!"
Flowers nodded their wee heads,
Got right up and made their beds
All the Trees up there wore clothes,
So as not their limbs expose;
And Johnny-Jump-Up said,
why, hello! young Tousel Head!"
And when Tousel said, 81 wish

Quick as wink then there flew past
Hosts of Flying Fish so fast;
Then he said, 'T'd like to play
Up sprang children, laughing gay!
Soon he tired. and then said,
Gee! l wish was in bed!"
Just then Tousel op'ed his eyes,
And looked round in great surprise!
