Boat Is Jerky.

Now their rowing is a bit ragged The
boat jerks too much, in some cases the
slides are rushed bat these are matters
that will confront any crew when it first
goes ont on the water. The thing that is
up to them to Go is to remedy these
faults. TO obey the coach in every detail
and to take for granted that when he
says something Is wrong he means # and
viii keep at them until they fix things
right.
In conclusion, the rowing department
Of Georgetown owes thanks TO Manager
Byrnes for not only the good schedule he
has arranged. but the way he has man
aged the whole department to make it
one of the most successful seasons the

up to the coxswain to keep an eye open

There was a time at Georgetown when

Agassiz have his vision of one of the

growth Of the people?
ITO what extent this vision has been
'ealized we can judge from the present
lay Calumet. Possibly his vision was
not all inclusive but it did include ma

ional advantages, a regard for the

The humane element of Mr.. Agas-

Justice and fair play as applied to con-

The making of 4 town depends on
the citlzens-they can either make

cry man. woman and child should in
some a interest themselves in the
welfare and improvement of the town.
Every person can 10 a little If moth

good word and help push it along.
If you want to kill yorktown keep

thing for such a person is. move out,
and give place to some one that is

For many, many years it was the
hone and aim of our citizens to get
the Missouri Pacific division located
h&ye and something oYer a year ago
it became and established fact, the
aaabition of years was to be realized.
The company asked little of the
city-less than fifteen acres G. land.
To buy this the city was bonded-it
is the best investmen We ever made.
TIE company agreed to put i'll a GER
an number of miles of trackage, a
tweNe-stall roundhouse, repair shop
etc, and it was estimated that
a pay roll of about 500, 900 per year
w0nld be maintained. Just how far

say only a small percent of oil peo-
pie really understand just what the
Division is bringing to us.
There was no delay in starting the
wJyk. AS soon as the location was
secured, actual work began. One OF
the first changes was made in the
size of the roundhouse which is
twenty-four stall instead of twelve
stall as originally intended, and is
one of the most convenient and best
equipped buildings of its kind in a
radius of a hundred miles.
Repair shops have been added and
are now under construction as is also
the power house which is double
the cize originally intended.
In making Falls City the main div
isiou point between Omaha and Kan
sas City instead of a subdivision, it
required a large and complete office
building to furnish quarters for the
extra large force, thus the office
building is another addition to the
original plan,aIl of which means more
and better things for Falls City. Ad-
ditional land was purchased by the
company for the site.
IN the round house every effort has
been made to use all the best APP
piances known for round house work.
The heating is taken care of by an
Induced Circulation installation, con
sisting of a series of heating coils
through which the air is drawn by a
large fan, then discharged through
a series of ducts into all parts OF the
building, giving an even temperature
at all times. The building is well
lighted by electricity.
