A personal tribute of a most not
able character was paid Chase S. Os-
born last week by Walter II. Sawyer
of Hillsdale, who is an associate of
Mr. Osborn on the board of regents
of the University of Michigan. In the
Hillsdale Standard Herald Mr.. Saw

To My Friends in Hillsdale County:
/ have felt that | wanted to say a
few words to you, giving my opinion
of Chase S. Osborn's qualifications
for governor of this state and take
this way of doing so. My reason for
This feeling is that Mr.. Osborn has
been my close friend for many years
and l have great admiration for him
as marked character. He is so pre-
eminently fitted for the duties of chief
executive of our state that | am con-
fident If you all knew him as | do you
would at once be his loyel friends and
supporters-that the dignity of his
character would commend him TO YOU
He is a man of wide sympathies and
is a deep and conscientious student
Of civic and social problems: in this
particular he has few equals He is
honest with himself and all others
In any position of trust which he
has held he has never been swayed
or influenced by personal considera-
ton, but has had an eye single to his
duty and responsibility to do the best
possible as he understood it. He is a
thoroughly trained statesman, an ed

orator, n successful man of affairs
and above and beyond all he is true
to himself. and. as Shakespeare says.
This above all: to thine own self

And it must follow, as the night the

Thou canst not then be false to any

Old Soldier Passes Away.

The remains of Eli Anderson, a
resident of this county since before
the war, but for good many years
past living at the soldiers home at
Marshallton, were brought to De-
corah for interment, which took
place in the Norwegian cemetery
Saturday morning, under the burial
rites of the G.. A. r.
Mr.. Anderson, a brother of the
late Lieut.. Ole A. Anderson, was of
Norwegian birth, born in 1887, and
soon after coming to this country
enlisted in the army, serving faith
fully until the close of the war, at
tanning the rank of Lieutenant. At
ter the war he came home, and was
for some time in the employ OF the
c., M. & St. p. Ry., on the line run
ming from McGregor west. For a
good many years past he has been
at the soldiers home. He spent the
past summer in DEBORAH, and only
a few days before his death re-
turned to Marshalltown.

NEW JOB FOR CARRIERS.
Rural Mail Carriers Given Notary
Powers to Certify Pension
Vouchers.

Rural letter carriers have been
instructed by the postoffice depart
ment to act as notaries in certifying
to penson vouchers for patrons of
Their routes whenever they are call
ed upon to do so. Such an amend
ment to the postal laws and regula-
tions has just been handed down by
the postmaster general.
1t is intended to save the pension
ers the trouble of going long dis
tances to have a notary certify to
their pension papers so that they
can draw their allowance.
For this service the rural carrier
collects a fee of rs cents, the same
as charged by notary for the same
service. This amendment will doubt
less prove a great convenience to
many pensioners who lives far away
from the nearest town. The bulle-
tin announcing the amendment has
been received by all Iowa post
masters Of offices where rural car
riers are employed.

THE BRIDGE CONTROVERSY.
Suit Filed by County Against Upper
Iowa Power Company For OBJ
structing Roadway.

Ever since the completion of the
power dam of the Upper Iowa Power
Company the matter of bridges
across the water which covers the
roadways that formerly forded the
river has been in controversy, and
although there have been frequent
and repeated attempts between the
parties concerned to effect a salts
factory settlement, the matter has
not been adjusted, and recently the
county attorney filed a suit against
the power company for the abate-
ment of the alleged obstruction.
The basis of the suit is the claim
that by the building of the dam the
fowage or raising of the water rem
ders unusable the Dan Donohue
road No. 3S5 and the William Drew
road No. sos. At both places the
water is now too deep to ford. The
company has made several PROPOSE
tons to the county, which appear
to be very reasonable. even to the
point of constructing bridge, or
paying the larger part of the cost
of a substantial bridge, but the
Board has not seen fit to accept any
of them. There are two sides to
this matter, as there are to every
thing and there is justice on both
sides. Certain it is that the people
of all northeast Iowa do not want
action taken that will seriously in
terfere with the operation of this
water power plant. It's value to
the people at large is not to be COM
pared to the loss of these fords, and
we believe that the power company
are ready and anxious to do the
right thing; that they have made
repeated effort to adjust the matter
satisfactorily, and that the Board of
Supervisors ought to recognize the
great value to the people of this
plant and make every possible eff
fort to meet them half way.

THE GAS PLANT.
Promoters Visit DEBORAH and Make
Preparations to Start COnstruc-

Messrs. Sanders and Lorenz of
Vinton and Tenney of Des Moines
were in town the last of the week,
on business connected with the con-
struction of the new gas plant for
DEBORAH. Mr.. Tenney is the presi-
dent of the American Construction
Company, which will have charge of
the construction work; Mr.. Lorenz
is prominent banker and capital
ist of Vinton, Iowa, and Mr.. San
ders will be the local manager of
the plant. These gentlemen went
over the city carefully, making
plans for the laying of the mains
and the location of the power plant.
Options were taken on two or three
different sites. The power plant
will probably be situated in the vi
cinity of the Ice Cave mills, as that
is deemed the location best adapted
for the purpose. This matter will
be definitely determined at once, so
we are informed, the incorporation
of the company completed, and
work started without delay. The
new plant at Ames has just been
completed and the gas turned on,
and the construction company is
now ready to turn it's attention to

deter the construction of the plant,
