THEMSELVES TO BLAME.

1t is easy to find fault with the
railways, and 1t is popular pastime
to criticise and 1nuckrake them. Much
of this is done for effect, and much
of the criticism has no foundation in
fact.
Nevertheless, railroads oftfmes fail
to realize the Importance of the towns
on their lines, and neglect to give the
people the facilities to which the
communities are entitled. This, we
believe, is the situation right now be-
tween the railroads entering Oskaloo-
sa and the people of this city.
The railroads are as necessary to
the prosperity of the town as are
good shipping points necessary to the
life of the railroad. Interests, there
fore, should be mutual, and the GUS
toners of the road should receive
all facilities and fayors that their
patronage warrants. 3...
Not sleeping car is carried in or
out of OskaloOsa, and the trip to Chi
cago, Oskaloosa's natural wholesale
center. is a most uncertain and al
ways a laborious affair. One must
leave home Mt O'Clock in the after
noon, take his chances on getting
sleeping car accommodations some
where along the line and ride until
after seven o'clock next morning to
reach his destination. This kind of
accommodation would have been ex-
pected % or 40 years ago, but in 1910
it surely CRATES on the nerves of
those who are forced to make the trip
two or three times year.
Then come the promises of the
Burlington to give Oskaloosa a new
depot and better train service on its
Tracy branch. The improved SER
vice has been in operation since Feb.
8, by the use of a motor car, but on
March the contract expires and
off comes the car. Then, too, in this
month the options on ground for a de-
pot site, secured by the Oskaloosa
Commercial club, expire, and unless
there is Immediate action there will
be no new depot this year, and Oska-
loosa patrons of the great Burlington
Route will have to continue TO view
the road through the gloomy win
dows of a primitive, boarded up and
down shed that was erected by bridge
carpenters thirty years ago.
Surely there Is something lacking
just now, and unless the railroads
meet the situation with more gen
erous spirit, they will find that in
place of a few dozen kickers in Os-
kaloosa they will be up against $4,000
of the sorest people they ever met,
and a critical investigation of their
service and equipment by the rail
road commissioners of Iowa.

that ball he struck wide of the mark.
Then I caught him, looked closer at
him and, behold, the cat was cross

What puzzles me now is to decide
whether or not there is an aristocracy
of cat life into which a crooked eyed
cat cannot come. He was evidently an
outcast and a pariah with his kind,
for he carefully kept his corner all the
time the other cats were around. Now,
the rats left with. the cats, and what
want to know is whether there is
not some feeling Of caste among rats
