NO WATER IN BAYOUs
ALONG BIG STREAM
Game and Fish Warden is Wondering
If There VIII be Any Use for
His Fish Car.

State Fish and Game Warden
George A. Lincoln is specializing these
days as to whether he will have any
use for his fish car, "Hawkeye" this
fall or not. He has received word
from his warden at Sabula that there
is no water in the bayous and sloughs
along the Mississippi river, on which
he depends for his supply of fish to
distribute to the inland waters of the
state, that makes the outlook very
discouraging, not only to Mr.. Lincoln,
but to the hundreds of sportsmen In
Iowa who enjoy the sport of fishing.
There has been but one rise in the
Mississippi this summer, which was
not high enough to even fill the bay
Gus and which came up one day and
went back the next The outlook is
worse than it was last year. This
year there is no water to dry up and.
therefore, no fish.
1t will be a couple of months be-
fore time to start the work of trans
portation and il there should be a big
rise in the Mississippi to fill the bay
GUS and ponds there will doubtless be
plenty of fish and Mr. Lincoln will
devote the fall in using his fish car
as usual.

EUCALYPTUS TREES
ARE VALUABLE
California Tree Becoming More Popu-
lar for All Sorts Of Uses In the
United States.

Renewed interest is taken in grow.
ing eucalyptus for commercial purpos,
es, owing to increasing demand for
eucalyptus lumber in the manufacture
of furniture and art decorations.
To the mechanical or useful arts, to
the science of building, to the profess
sion of medicine, and, in fact, to this
whole OF the business interests of the
future. the eucalyptus tree is of value.
says E. NJ. Stetson in a recent ar
ticle
Much interest in the production of
this wood has been aroused lately
among mechanics. scientists and bust
ness men generally, by discovery of
qualities of fitness. adaptability and
durability shown in its composition.
The extreme hardness, tenacity of
the fibres when dried, together with
its durability is what made the first
impression on the business mind as
to the technical value of the wood of
the eucalyptus tree. When a piece
of blue gum, even the most common
and easily raised of the eucalypti. is
thoroughly seasoned it Is almost i'm
possible to drive any ordinary nail
into 1t with a hammer. 1t is neces.
sary in making connections where
nails are required to first make the
entire opening with an anger before
the nail can be forced through.

The Iowa City Republican ccnfesses
that 1t is stumped Express compan-
les are TO quit delivering liquors on
Sundays. In cities where the traffic
is legal. people can buy on Saturdays
and have their Sunday supply without
question. but this com plant about Sun
day delivery comes frcm dry sections
Wherefore the Republican is moved
to inquire:
Can it be that liquors are delivered
at any time to anybody in the dry
territory? Somebody should get busy
and stop it. The dry territory has
decided that the whole thing must
stop, and it should. These people
want prohibiuon; they should have il
SO tight that nobody can complain Of
lack Of enforcement. Make the drys
as dry as powder. Make them thirst
till, like Prometheus, their tongues
loll out"

Author EIIIott,s Experience.

Des Moines Capitol: Francis Perry
Elliott OF Keokuk. the author of @The
Haunted Pajamas," says that there
are three important events in con-
nection with the popularity of the
story which originally appeared in
novelette, form in popular magazine.
The first. he says, was when a strang-
er on a train handed him magazine
remarking, THAT, sir, contains the
funniest story ever read and the best
perhaps you would like to read 1t.
It's called The Haunted Pajamas I"
The second event was when a maid
in a Boston hotel, pointing to his
name on parcel, asked if he were
the man who wrote "The Haunted
Pajamas' in the magazine "A lady
gave me a copy she declared, "and
the whole push on this floor has read
it, The third and GROWING occasion,
he says. was when the news reached
him that Dorothy Dix" finding the
magazine number sold out and un-
purchasable in New York, had seized
upon and stolen thumbed and bat
tered copy from Turkish bath house.

men to Get Unconditional
Vacation.

Agents, solicitors and other EN-.
ployes of the Burlington railroad are
to be given two weeks vacation
with pay. This is the statement
which has been issued by the road
chiefs and it is in effect this year.
II is not known what the require
ments are, but 1t is believed that
certain length of service is necessary
The new arrangement favors those in
the operating, accounting and traf-
fic departments, with the exception OF
the trainmen, who must employ sub
stitutes.
The reason given for this is that
trainmen cannot consistently double
up on time and they are paid, &C.
cording to general custom, by the
hour. In all clerical positions. how
ever it is possible for the employees
to reciprocate and keep the work UP
while their co-workers take an out
ing.
On the Rock Island system of va
cations with pay has been in force
Tor years. For employees of the road
who have been in service a year or
more. ten days with pay is granted
and for those who have worked con-
tinuously for five years two weeks
vacation with pay is granted. The
trainmen are also restricted in this
rule.

Pennington Republican: We, too,

proximity TO the power plant, and it's

Richest Town Is Without a Church.
Cedar Rapids Republican: There is
a town in this state that has no
church. 1t has population OF 1914, but
it has two banks which have combined
deposits of s1,032. 1872, or s2,459 for
each man, woman and child in the
village. In bank deposits it is the
richest town in the state. The town
also has four saloons. but the boast
is that no one ever gets drunk in
them. The people are nearly all de-
scendants Of German settlers who
came to the place nearly three quar-
tiers OF a century ago, from the Ger
man province of Schleswig- Holstein.
Originally the settlers were nearly all
Lutherans. but they discarded the
religion of their fathers and abandon
ed their churches. The Monticello
Times has told the story of how et-
