ment.

The isolation Of the Terlingua. Texas,
quicksilver district is retarding its de-
velopment. While there are many
promising claims containing cinnabar
ore. within a radius of 25 miles of the
Terlingua mining camp, it is difficult
to get the properties properly financed,
owing to the long and tiresome jour-
ney that must be made. It is not the
personal discomfort. so much as the
heavy cost Of bringing in machinery
and supplies. that makes the long over
land trip q serious barrier to the de-
velopment Of the quicksilver mines.
It is 10 miles from Terlingua to
Maria, the nearest shipping point on
the Southern Pacific railroad. The con-
struction of the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient railway across the upper Rio
Grande border will place Terlingua
within about so miles of that railroad.
The building Of a branch line into the
district is said to be under considera-

WHAT INTERURBANS Do
Cedar Rapids Man Tells of Obser.
vations at indianapolis.

The following article, in the Even
ing Times, of Cedar Rapids, applies
with equal emphasis to Oskaioosa, as
to Mr.. Rickel's home city. The
writer says:
"A short time ago | was spending
a few days in Indianapolis, Ind, on
business and while there, was shown
around by a friend and had explain
ed to him the elaborate system of in
terurban roads that center in the
city of indianapolis. 1t appears that
thirteen distinct interurban roads en-
ter and leave one depot.
indianapolis, some twenty years
ago, was a place of $1,000 inhabi
tants. Today it has about 100000
and is rapidly improving, and l was
assured that its great prosperity was
due to these interurban roads

by what interurban roads had done
for this city. p / know, of course, that
very many other cities in Indiana
and Ohio had been very greatly pros
pered by reason of the building oil
interurban roads. But indianapolis
is the most notable example in that
direction that | have known.
Il am firmly of the opinion that II
Cedar Rapids would go to work and
secure four or five additional inter
urban roads, that in ten years we
would have population of 100000
and that land within radius of fifty
miles of the city would increase al
least so per cent in value.
1T was also explained to me how
easy 1t was for these roads to be
constructed. The party giving me
the information had had considerable

Freshmen Win Tug of War.

IT took twenty ana twelve minutes
respectively for the Freshmen to pull
the SophOmores through the reSer
voir Tuesday evening in the tug OF
war which will become an annual
event at Penn hereafter. About
three hundred students and friends
of the classes watched the contest
from the banks and much rivalry
was shown, ....a, ...

ants could not dig a hole or have
anything on their shoes to help get
foothold, however, they were al
lowed to wear gloves. The losers OF
the first pull had the choice of an
other pull.
Hillery, of the Freshmen, won the
toss and took the north bank and in
twenty minutes after Referee Hin
shaw blew his whistle the Freshmen
had won the first pull. They changed
sides and the Freshmen soon had the
Sophs for the second time.
1t must be said that the Freshmen
had the Sophs outnumbered, which
of course goes long ways in con
test like this. Following is the line

Penn COLLEGE

Tn calendar for Penn college seems
to be full for the coming week. In
fact the activities started Tuesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, when the
Freshmen took the Sophomres into
camp in a tug-Of-war contest across
the Iowa Central reservoir located
north of the campus. The annual
contest this year assumed the form
of a pulling bee across the reservoir
which has been filled with water from
the recent rains. A large crowd gath
cred to witness the contest, including
some very enthusiastic supporters of
the Freshmen and Sophomores.
Twice the Freshmen outpulled the
sturdy Sophomores and settled the
question for this year as to which
class is the better puller, and causing
the aquatic Sophomores TO hike for
their rooms for dry garments.
Friday, beginning at 10 o'clock, the
birthday of William Penn will be cele
brated in appropriate fashion. Glasses
will meet until the usual chapel time
after which the program for the day
will be suspended The custom OF
recognizing Penn Day was establish

every year since. The program which
will be rendered at 10 o'clock in the
