standings fell below passing average
and Fetters has not recovered from
injuries received last Saturday in the
game with Ames.
The joy Of the students at the return
Of Hatcher to the game was suddenly
dispelled when the other two star play
ers were thus suddenly removed. The
Oskaloosa team is a strong one. ana
II is feared that the local eleven would
have to show its strongest front TO
make creditable showing. Packers
and Fetters' absence from the game
weakens the line materially. and 1t Is
feared the substitutes are not capable
of playing anywhere near up to the
standard set by these two players.

will be rebuilt Of concrete and steel.
About year ago the chief engineer
went over the route between here and
Algona and decided upon suitable
route. Definite plans will be made at
once as soon as the president returns
from New York.
Omaha to Minneapolis.
Another extension which Will be
made that will help Estherville is the
extension Of the NJ. & ST. l.. from
Storm Lake to Omaha. This last ex-
tension will make this line the thru
route from Omaha to Minneapolis and
will be the shortest route between
those two points. Another extension
which will be made that will help Es-
therville as well as the northwest Is
the extension from Leola, 9. D.. north
to connect with the Canadian Pacific.
The NJ. & ST. L. stops at Leola. Erb
and his associates are heavy stockhold-
ers in the Canadian Pacific as we'll as
the NJ. & ST. L. and Iowa Central. This
will give Estherville and this section
thru connections to the Pacific coast
and will be of immense benefit to this
section.
Road to Consolidate Soon.
LAS soon as President Erb returns
to New York he will perfect plans for
the consolidation of the NJ. & St l..
and Iowa Central railways. This will
be done by the NJ. & St. l.. leasing the
Iowa Central for long term Of years,
as the Rock Island leased the Burling-
ton. Cedar Rapids & Northern. This
Will practically be consolidation and
make a united system. That the pro-
posed extension and changes in the NJ.
& ST. l.. will benefit this city Is very
apparent. The division point at this
place will become larger and more
important division point. That the
whole system will be benefited by the
proposed extensions is also very APP
parent The NJ. & st. L. will prosper
as never before when these changes
are made. They will receive trade
from this section that will increase
their profits beyond measure, and all
parties and sections thru which the
road passes will be benefited.
