WILL WORK HARD
FOR 1912 MEET
NORTHERN COUNTIES TAKE
OFFICIALS CONVENTION TO
MASON CITY NEXT YEAR.

Although Mason City won, out over
Ottumwa for the county officers con-
yontion in 1911, the Ottumwans were
not disheartened and have buckled on
their fighting clothes to land the con-
vention for 1912. All Of the Wapello
county representatives except A. y.
Reynolds came home during the night,
and all are loud in their praise Of the
convention. The supervisors took ad-
vantage Of their visit to Linn county
to study the conditions there from the
viewpoint Of supervisor, and find that
Wapello ranks on par with her sister
county in a general way. The mem.
bers Of the board with Mrs. A. l..
Reynolds and Steward E. s. Lowen-
berg and wife of the county farm,
drove to the Linn county home and
made an inspection OF the place. In
speaking OF the convention, the re-
turned delegates say the Ottumwans
were not organized to compete with
the northern counties and that al
though most of the southern counties
of the state stuck with Ottumwa there
were too few southern counties repre-
sented to offset the lead of Mason
city. Those who returned last night
were: Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Lowenberg,
j. W. Reinhard, A. J. Fairchilds, J. v.
Curran and F. A. Nimocks.

new PENSION
RULING ISSUE
RURAL ROUTE MAIL CARRIERS
EMPOWERED TO ADMINISTER
OATH TO PENSIONERS.

A new departure from an old
established custom is found in the
latest ruling of the postofflce depart
ment governing pensions. BY this rul'
ing a duty that has heretofore de-
pended upon the county clerk for per-
Torrance, is now made part of the
functions of the rural free delivery
mail carriers.
BY the terms Of the order Of the
postmaster general, the farmer who
happens to be a pensioner, will be
saved trip to town in order to have
his or her pension voucher executed.
All that will be necessary is to call
the rural carrier into commission at
the proper time and he can do what
it has been necessary to have the
clerk, of the district court attend to
in the past. This ruling, while it does
not take away the duty from the clerk,
1t nevertheless lessons his work In
pesion matters considerably. The
new ruling reads in part as follows:
Hereafter in addition to the officers
now authorized to administer oaths in
such cases rural free delivery car
riers of the United States are hereby
required, empowered and authorized to
administer any and all oaths required
to be made by pensioners and their
witnesses in execution of their
vouchers, with the same effect as
officers having seals, and they shall
charge for such sum not exceeding
25 cents for each voucher of the
pensioner."

ereSS, Nj. F. Davis for

According to reports going about
today, the Democrats are making
states for their State Convention to
be held I'm Dover on Tuesday next.
According to the report William
Salisbury, editor Of the Delawarean,
at Doyef, Kent county, is to be nom
mated for Congress, Millard f. Davis,
jeweler OF this city, for State Treasur-
er. and VIM. w. Rawlins, of George
town, for State Auditor. This would
give each county a man on the tick
ct. Mr.. Rawlins was a member Of
the last Legislature He is an official
of the Farmers Bank branch in
Georgetown.
While Kent county is claiming the
Congressional nomination by the ro-
tation system, there are indications
that Sussex is not willing to concede
that honor to Kent. Robert G. White
and Albert f. Polk, of Georgetown,
battled It out for delegates at the pri-
maries, and both are claiming a MA
jority of the Sussex delegates. They
will take their contest TO the Sussex
caucus
II is said that Mr. Salisbury has a
majority of the Kent delegates with
him for Congress, but his activity In
behalf Of the anti-license campaign

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. s.
That practical and satisfactory route
between deep water, in New York Bay

along the existing Delaware and Rari-
tan Canal.
The letter received by Congressman

the various types and dimensions OF
canals that could be built along the
route and the cost of annual mainte-
nance of same capitalized at per

Colonel Black. in his communica-
ton, points out the benefits that would
be derived from the construction of a
sea level canal. Among them he mem
tons a great lessening of time in tran
sit of about two hours and the elimi-
nation of possible delay due to acct
dents to lock gates and machinery
should the canal be Of the lock type.
He further draws attention to the
fact that the establishment of the pro-
posed water route, would have much
influence in developing the many in
dustries which are OH its lines, be-
cause of the advantages in handling
raw material and manufactured pro-
ducts at low freights, not only on the
canal itself, but on the railroads that
would of necessity try to meet the
competition.
