HOTTEST SUMMER
IN FORTY YEARS
St. Louis Article Tells Some Very
Interesting Things About
Climate.

Recently the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat in recounting the happenings OF
spring and summer this year said:
The spring Of 1911 is said, and SO
far as official weather bureau records
can prove anything, has proved to
have been the warmest in forty years.
The bureau gives out only general
statement as to the temperatures for
the entire season, including the quar-
ter usually called spring, but which

Pumping down in 1t almost as soon
as winter gets out is something new
1t Is this which has made the late
spring season the hottest in more
than generation.
Yet the season, On the whole, was
a fine one. The winter had been &C
exceptionally fine that it was to be
expected that stormy days would
come in the spring months. Come the,
did. but not often enough or will
enough severity to mar the beauty O.
the season. They would have KEEP

advent of not only summer weather
but Of hot summer weather before
May was half spent grv an end to
their dreams.
This advent 1t is which has given
this years spring it's bad place in the
official records. 1t started out well,
after a belated February furry, and
kept it up we'll, with a steady gait,
through March and April. We can
easily believe that 1t had glorious
May in store for us. But the calling
of the extra session to discuss the
tariff question seems to have been
taken as a cue by summer to come on
the stage precipitately. There must
always be warm weather for an extra
session OF congress to discuss the tar
iff. If this years spring has behaVsa
badly, blame congress.

Fort Madison to be Investigated.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: AT last
the conditions at Fort Madison are to
be investigated. Attorney General
Cosson has selected two men to as
sist him in the work and the promise
is for a thorough probing of all
charges and rumors of wrong doing.
It is not worth while to anticipate
the report which these men will
make. But it is worth while to con-
slider the subject of prison admins
tration. Colorado is dealing with this
subject in a modern and intelligent
way. What Iowa needs and what her
people want, if we mistake not their
temper, is not only correction OF
errors and injustice, If they exist I'M
der the present order, but an entirely
new dispensation. Abolish the con
tract labor method and install in it's
place state employment and fair
wages. Adopt modern methods all the
way along the line.
Prison authorities are endowed, un
der our present system, with despotic
power. Prisoners are entirely in the
hands of prison authorities. They
have no recourse, and no appeal i.
possible that does not pass through

there was fear that the dust would

One of the visiting comets has prov

tory on the summit Of Mount Hamil-
ton, near San Jose, Calf, and was
later picked up by the Yerkes obser-
vatory at Williams Bay, Wisconsin.
The astronomers had high hopes
that this comet would overcome It's
bashfulness enough to allow it to be
seen without the aid OF big glasses
Observations made at Williams Bay
however, showed that the comet was
getting away from the earth rather
than getting near 1t, and that there
was little chance that the general pub
lie would be able to make its acquain
lance. The astronomers knew little OIL
this comet.
The other new comet is Brooks
comet, which was discovered at Gen
eva. n. Y. few days ago. The pc
culiarities of this comet also are tc

Rifle Practice.
The political calendar Of the week
calls for several meetings Of interest
to the leaders of both parties. Ken
lucky Democrats will assemble in
Louisville today to formulate the plat
form on which the state ticket will
make the fight for election next fall,
In Nebraska on the same day the state
primaries of all parties will be herd
for the nomination of candidates for
the minor state offices to be filed at
the next election. At Harrisburg there
is to be meeting of the Democratic
state central committee of Pennsyl-
vania to consider proposed changes in
the party rules and to carry out the
plan for the redistricting of the state.
At the same time and place there is
to be meeting of Democratic editors
to form a state league. At Columbus,
Ohio, an outing is to be held by the
jefferson club with William ]. Bryan
as the guest Of honor. The club is an
'insurgent" Democratic organization
and is understood to be opposed to
Governor Harmon of Ohio for the
presidential nomination.
The conventions of the week will
include those of the International
Typographical union at San Francis
co, the American Press Humorists' as
sociation at Boston, the Irish Catholic
Benevolent union at Toledo, the Loyal
Order OF Moose at Detroit, the Ameri.
can Pharmaceutical association at
Boston and the National Negro Bust

wealth should not exceed hers. The
explanation is that our savings sys-
TENS UP to the present time have
not met the demands of the people.
They have been efficient in spots,
but on the whole their machinery
has been inadequate.
For the present the postal savings
bank system only scratches the sur
face of the vast territory that lies
undeveloped at its doors. To reach
out and come in contact with the
masses Of the people it may be nee.
essary to establish branch banks IN
various parts of the city. AS yet nc
serious consideration has been given
to this phase OF the question.

The Battle Of Wilson's Creek.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Yester-

First Missouri and the Second Kan
sas were other volunteer regiments
engaged in that fight and the rest were
regular troops. The Union forces
numbered about 5,400 all told, while
the Confederate forces numbered over
10000. The majority of the Union
troops were men and boys from the
farms, while the southern troops were

WILL TRY TO SAVE FARMS.
Green Bay Bottoms May be Saved by
Erecting Dike-over $500 Acres
Of Land VIII be Lost Unless Inn
mediate Action is Taken.

Burlington Gazette: According to
the survey OF the engineers, the land
between Burlington and Fort Madison
which is known as the Green Bay bot
toms, 6,621 acres of fine farm land,
will be inundated as the result OF the
Keokuk dam unless provision is made
at once to establish drainage dis
trict and prevent the loss of this land
for all future time
This Is proposition which needs
earnest consideration. Every foot OF
land will be flooded by the lake I'M
less dixie is built along the river
bank to protect the land and pumping
stations erected to dispose of the wa
ter which collects behind the levee.
According to the survey. dixie will
be required the average height OF
which must be nine feet. This is not as
big an undertaking as the leveeing OF
the district north of Burlington and
| it will not only save the $500 acres
now under cultivation, but will drain
many acres of land which now is sub
| ject to overflow, for the bottom land
is cross-sectioned with lakes and
sloughs, and these will be eliminated
with a pumping plant
AS the situation is, the dam com
pany will proceed to erect the dam
and allow the land along the river to
be flooded, assuming the damage re
sulting. No effort has been made by
the company to purchase this land, as
they expect the land to be given ar
appraised value and to settle on that
basis.
A number of the Green Bay lane
owners have interested themselves IL
the matter and find that the compan,
is just as willing to assist them II
defraying the expense of establishing
a drainage district and erecting {
levee as to pay for the land inundated
The company is not anxious to cove
with water 5000 acres of good farm
land and, therefore, would be willin:
to make an agreement with the own
ers by which the cost of building /.
dixie would be met. 1t is up to tn,
farmers to act if they wish to saw
this land. It is proposition for tn
attention of the Lee county supervls
ors also, as that county cannot al
ford to have such large section Q
