THE PLEA OF pINCHor.

clifford Pinchot and his brAather Amos
have written a letter to President Taft
about the Cunningham claims to GER
tain coal lands in Alaska. The letter
is very pinchotty, and reads as Ii it
might have been written by Clifford
himself, and that Amos was intro
duced merely as ballast. The Pinchots
believe that the Cunningham claims are
fraudulent, and they want to submit
a brief to the President before Execu-
| tive approval has been given to these
claims. They do not Took with con-
fldence to the officials of the Interior

The Iowa SiiO.

Two years ago the agricultural
engineering section of the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station invented new
kind of silo which was called the
Iowa silo. This silo is built of spe-
cially made hollow tile. 1t is as
permanent as cement silo, and
much easier to construct. 1t costs
no more than the best grade of stave
silo and will last several times as
long.
Since this silo was first devised
thirteen have been constructed in
various parts of the state A care.
full account was kept of actual cost
of construction. The manner in
which the silage kept was also
watched carefully. Without ex-
ception these silos are proving salts
factory.
Bulletin III of. the Iowa Expert
ment Station has just been received
from the press. 1t gives complete
figures on the cost of the thirteen
Iowa silos that have been construct
ed. Complete directions for putting
up an Iowa silo are given. BY fol-
lowing these, any mason, or any
farmer who has had any experience
with brick or cement work, can put
up a satisfactory silo.
The bulletin is free and may be
had by applying to Director c. F..
Curtiss, Ames, Iowa.

Reptiles and Animals.

Are venomous reptiles and de-
structive animals becoming more
numerous in the state, or is the at
ttntion of the people being called to
their presence by the bounties that
are being offered? We have noticed
from time to time that the county
auditor was called upon to pay
bounty on rattle snakes, wolves,
ground hogs, ETC., and these i'm in
creasing amounts. This holds good
all over the state as well as in
Bremen county. Rattlesnakes seem
to be invading the land in different
parts of the state, the daily papers
have accounts in nearly every edition
OF the killing of a bunch of rattlers.
Peter Mathey, residing near Turkey
river, killed sixty-five one day re-
Gently, in Fayette county. The
snakes were mostly old ones. Wolves
also are again invading different
parts of the state and wolf hunts
are formed for the purpose of run
ming down the animals and killing
them. The Indians who are camped
north of town say that fur-bearing
animals are much more numerous
than in many years past, and they
are planning to make a big catch
next fall.-Waverly Independent.

viii open on Aug. 20. Prepare to
enter then. The first term offers
unusual facilities to those who have
failed in teachers examinations. A
special course will be given in all
common school branches. 46 stu
dents were prepared last year Mrs
Phoebe Lincoln will have charge of
Valdez Normal the coming year
She has trained more teachers in
private schools than has any other
teacher in Iowa.
The courses in bookkeeping,
banking, and all lines of CONNER
cial training have been carefully
revised in order to conform to mod
ern training for business.
The shorthand course has receiv-
ed new impetus by introducing the
Gregg system, which has revolution
lied shorthand. Last year 10 new
typewriting machines were purchas-
ed, and this year three additional
machines were purchased. Our ma
cnines are therefore all new, and

perfect course in modern bust
ness training is offered, and it's stu
dents are prepared and they obtain
paying positions. % students have
obtained positions in banks and ~
others have secured positions as
teachers, stenographers and book
keepers. This has been the banner
year of Valdez College. 1t has
made good and it is constantly max
ing an effort to offer the best to be
had in a business, shorthand or an
education for the common school
teacher.
Valdez College has grown in both
popularity and efficiency. 1t is an
institution that is abreast of the
times and it aims to keep pace with
the advancement of practical educa-
ton. The internal work of the in
stitutiOn is of high order. The
details are carefully guarded and
planned that each student may re-
ceive his just share and attention.
Valdez College has won success be-
cause the policy in conducting it is
based upon common sense and an
intelligent understanding of the ac-
tual needs and wants of the boy or
girl who has laudable ambition to
become self-supporting, on a mini
mum expenditure of time and
money.
More than 5000 students have
been enrolled and more than 1000
have been graduated. Surely these
have left not less than half million

ancial view point alone. Valdez Col

Veteran Railroad Man.

A. j. Gruver of West Union, on
July %, celebrated the thirty-third
anniversary of his taking the fore
manship of the west railroad section
of the Rock Islands lines at West
Union. Until disputed, his friends
are going to claim that Mr.. Gruver's
service constitutes a record for Iowa
in the point of continuous service as
foreman of the same section Mr..
Gruver is "a years of age, and
worked on the section two years be-
fore he became foreman. He has
taken temporary absences for few
days or weeks on vacation or to do
emergency work for the company
elsewhere, but has never been sep
arated from the job here. Mr.. Cru
yer has four brothers, and all five
have records of long service begin
ming with the old B. C. r. G n. and
continuing under that company's
successor, the C. r. |. & p. Grant
Gruver, formerly of DEBORAH, now
travelling man out of Cedar Ra-
pids, saw twenty-five years services
as helper and agent. Ben Gruver
now cashier of the Clermont State
bank, was agent and helper for
nineteen years. w. j. Gruver is re-
tired at Elgin after thirty-two years
service on the section. for twenty

Charles Gruver, another old De.
corian, is at Albert Lea, Mimi.
roadmaster on the Germania- Min-
neapolis division of the Rock Is
land, his thirty-four years having
been put in as section hand, section
foreman, and roadmaster. The five
brothers-all the boys in the fam
ily-thus have a combined record of
145 years work for the same rail-
road system, which perhaps, will not
be matched anywhere. The father
OF the five railrOading Gruvers is
Uncle Alex Gruver of Elgin, who at
"a years of age and with a record
OF sixty-six years membership in

close to being the oldest Odd Eel
