CLOSING THE lNTERURBAN CAM
PAIGN

1 The committees in charge Of thu
soliciting for the Iowa City-O ttumws
/ interurban now are working hard L
bring the matter to a completion
Their work in closing up the campaign
will be devoted to securing donations
fof land for the right Of way or sub
scriptions to pay for this land. The
city of Ottumwa has done practically
all that it can do on the interurban.
The completion Of the task will be
taken up by the people along the line
and they, in connection with the COM
mittees from the city, will see that the
matter is closed up In very few days.
ances that they will be given loyal sup
port by the people living along the
roads right Of way.
The benefits derived will be- shared
by the people in the cities and country
through which the road will pass. The
cities will gain through the added
transportation facilities. A rich terri
tory with thriving and prosperous com.
munities will be opened up. A north
and south interurban line will bring
these communities closer together and
connect them with the transconti-
mental railroad lines between the east
and the west. The country will gain
by the enhancement OF farm values,
along the line OF the road and by be-
ing brought closer to the markets.
II this part Of the state, both city
and country, is to go ahead we must
avail ourselves of every opportunity
like this. This is the best opportunity
we shall ever get to secure an inter-
urban. That fact must not be lost
sight of. If we were to build line
even from Ottumwa to Farson it would
cost in construction and equipment
alone, not counting the right of way
and terminal facilities, twice as much
as we are trying to raise for this line
rom Ottumwa to Iowa City. We are
offered an interurban cheap and if the
people of the country between OF
,umwa and Farson join with the OF
umwa interurban boosters in bringing
he campaign to a close, as it is con-
identity expected they will, the bargain
will be clinched within few days
line.

GIRL RETURNS HOME.
Mi-take In Destination Of Little As
syrian Child Caused

Anxiety.
Cedar Rapids. Sept. 16.-It was a
sad experience indeed that little Miss
Mary Haddy had when she was sent
to Webster City instead of story City
and she arrived in the former town
alone, unable to speak a word of Eng
lish and without a single cent.
1t seems that the Haddys are AS
|syrians and that Miss Haddy was in
tended to be sent by her brother,
Mike Haddy, to Story City. But In
stead Of buying ticket to that town,
Mike bought ticket to Webster City.
Miss Haddy arrived at Webster City
expecting some one to meet her. But
no friendly face greeted her at the
station. Instead every one pared her
by. She was unable to make enquir-
les and she waited at the depot hour
after hour.
FINALLY the agent tried to question
her. All he received to his ques4
lions was an unintelligible flow Of
words Then he notified the Webster
City police. They made an investiga-
ton and had to give it up as hope
less. Many different people who
could talk all manner of languages
were brought to interview Miss Had
dy but none of them could converse
in her language for Their are no AS
syrians apparently in Webster City.
Then her brother Mike Haddy dis
covered something wrong as those
who had expected to meet the girl at
Story City started sending kilograms
and located his sister. She was
brought back to this city Tuesday
night and started out right.

NEW FACTORY FOR oTTuMwA.

The committees in charge of the
soliciting for the interurban certainly
have worked faithfully and hard.
They have neglected their own bust
ness affairs and sacrificed their per-
sonal interest for the good Of the COM
munity. New workers must now get
in the harness for the work of rails
ing the money to erect building for
the Moline Pump company and secure
for Ottumwa a new industry. The new
industries committee of the CONNER
cial association for several weeks has
been Investigating the merits of the
Moline company. The committee has
thoroughly satisfied itself that this
factory should be brought to Ottumwa.
The company has been in business in
Moline since 1858. 1t is out of debt
and enjoys a good business. Some of
the dealers in the city have handled
the firms products for years and know
they are first class.
It has been made necessary for this
firm to give up its present factory site
in Moline by the expansion of that city.
The land occupied by the buildings
and grounds of the factory were needed
for railroad extensions. The firm sold
It's buildings ana land TO the railroad
and in seeking about for a new loca-
ton has investigated the outside field
as well as its home field. The new
industries committee of the CONNER
cial association entered into negotia-
tons with the firm with the result that
were closed whereby the.
firm agrees to move to Ottumwa upon
condition that Ottumwa meets certain
requirements. Ottumwa has agreed to
erect building for the factory and
the money for this purpose must be.
raised by the first of October. The con-
tract between the Commercial associa-
ton and the Moline company, pub
.lished in another column of today's
Courier, gives the conditions that must
be met. Ottumwa is given another OPP
portunity to add to its industries by
bringing another institution that en-
ploys labor to the city. The deal must
be closed at once and no time is to be
lost If Ottumwa is to take another
step forward in its expansion cam
paign.
