Saturday Globe: How would the
following do for the "write-up" of Os-
kaloosa that is to appear in the new
/. o. A. Short Line automobile road
guide and atlas:
"Oskaloosa" is of Indian origin,
coming from the name of a creek
Princess, Tuscaloosa, wife of the Sc.
minole chief, Osceola, and meaning
THE best of the Beautiful" The pop
ulation of Oskaloosa, the county seat
of Mahaska county, including suburbs,
is about eleven thousand. Planted as
it is in the midst Of an agricultural
district unsurpassed in richness, Os-
kaloosa's chief business is the serv-
ing commercially of a wide circle of
territory, stretch of black soil from
which has already come the wealth
that the noticeably good farm i'm
prOvements on every hand would in
dicate-even to the swift passerby.
You need not be told that in Oska-
loosa there is pretty little public
park right in the center of the bust
ness district, for that is the first
thing to catch the autoist's eye.
There is shade, seats and drinking
water here, and squirrels to eat nuts
out of your hand; a combination band
stand and place for public speaking
in the park, well exemplifies the most
modern architectural design. If pass.
ing this way on Saturday and you can
spare the time, you would find 1t en-.
joyable TO spend the evening in the
city, and hear the open air concert by
0skaloosa's famous Iowa Brigade
band-any and every Saturday night
during the summer. The statue of
Mahaska, the famous Indian chief
after which the county was named
Mahaska translated means White
the west side of
the park. The base bears inscrip-
tions that the children-possibly your
self-will be interested In reading.
Being in a position to compare Oska
loosa with other cities, you will be
impressed we think, with
the superiority OF the retail stores.

Knoxville Express: The automo-
bile owners of Knoxville met at the
court house last Wednesday after
noon, and formed an association un-
der the name of the Marion County
Auto Club. J. w. Finarty was elected
president; Late Collins, vice-prest-
dent; A. Vandrimmelen, secretary;
D. P. Wright, treasurer. Fl. NJ. Dick.
erson was made superintendent of
the road work. About twenty mem
bers were enrolled. The dues are 81
per year. The main effort of the as
ISOLATION will be to agitate and solve
the good roads problem as far as
possible, not only on the |. o. A.
Short Line, but every road in Marion
county. Andrew Vandrimmelen re.
ported that the work of improving
the road along the l. o. A. Short Line
is progressing very satisfactorily
The roads have been dragged thor
oughly between Knoxville and the
river and the pole marking has been
completed half way through Marion
county. BY the number OF marked
poles along Main street it would be
impossible for driver TO lose his way,
even il he were exceeding the speed
