TO SAVE HER LIFE
Mrs. John kalma of Newton Plnins
Away Of Home
sickness.

NEWTON, Ia, Dec. 5.-Return to
their native home in Holland beins
made necessary in order to save the
life of Mrs. John Kalma, she and her
husband will leave their farm. three
miles southeast of Newton, early this
week, and plan to spend the remand
er of their lives in their native land.
Mr.. Kalma is well satisfied with
this country, but his wife has been
lonesome here and actually has grown
so homesick that it is imperative that
she return home in order that her
life be preserved. She pines for her
native land and refuses to take any
interest in affairs here because all
her kith and kin are SO far removed
from her.
The Kalmas came to Jasper county
seven years ago. They had just $12
at that time. In the seven years that
have elapsed they have acquired
more than $4,000 in money and last
week Mr. Kalma had a sale that to-
tailed $4,000. He worked as a hired
hand when he first came here-got
enough money to stock farm for
himself and since then has rented,

A REGIMENT OF
TIMBER JACKS
To be Used all Winter Clearing the
Wood and Brush From the Islands
and Bottoms up the
River.
THREE THOUSAND ACRES
An Immense Area Extending From
Montrose to Fort Madison Must
Be Cleared by Order Of
the Government.

According to developments that re-
Gently transpired the building of the
greatest dam in the world in the
Mississippi river here will require the
services of five or six hundred tim
berjacks to clear over three thous-
and acres Of land.
In the lake to be formed above the
dam is large area of islands now,
and some bottom land covered with
trees. The war department compels
the water power company to remove
all the trees and brush from over
flowed ground, as otherwise the trees
would die and finally float down and
become lodged to start towheads and
tear holes into the bulls of steam
boats. This wooded territory lies be-
tween Montrose and Fort Madison
and extends nearly all the way be-
tween these two towns.
A hundred men are now employed
at this work and four or five. hundred
more will be- employed all winter and
longer, The, work. is being handled
at present for, the company by Scott
6. Sclheeses, practical, timbermen, with
headquarters at Montrose.
AS the building Of the great water
power installation progresses the
work is extending into all sorts of I'M
expected ramifications.

build a new road from Keolluk up the
river, for thought | never would
reach town today" said T. ]. Harring-
ton, lockmaster at the guard lock OF
the canal, today And then he went
on. to file bill of particulars thus:
THE road there is just about i'm
passible. never saw any road quite
SO bad. It Is full of holes, as if some
peg legged giant had tramped all over
it and then it froze up tight. The
holes were made first in one place,
and then AS the wagons went round
them, new holes were made In another
place, And the wagons went from one
side of the road to the other trying
to dodge the worst holes and in that
way made worse holes all over the
road.
IT there are to be any more people
live up our way, it is simply a neces-
sity to have a new and good road or
we can't come to Keokuk to trade and
visit--and that is regardless of what
the water power does by changing the
river. The supervisors would be
obliged to rebuild that present road
anyhow, even If the dam had never
come"
Everybody from the country which
uses the liver road as an outlet says
the same thing in different language
some OF it too profane to print.
y consider that the new road will
double the value of my farm" said a
Ian! owner from UP the river to a
keokuk merchant yesterday.

1t was the intention of the board of

ness took him to Kauai and he could
not be back until Sunday, and neither
Low nor Amana showed up for the
meeting last evening.
AS it was, several bills were APP
proved by the four solons who were
present, and the resolution appropriate
LRg $1,000 for the mosquito campaign
passed third reading.
In regard to the paving which the
street railway is TO do between its
Tracks, ]. A. Gilman appeared before
the board for information, saying that
superintendent of public works wished
10 know the desires of the board In
khs matter. Gilman g bond for the
paving of King and Kekaulike streets
was received and approved, and the
contract, signed by him, is now ready
for the signatures of Mayor Fern and
the clerk.
When the matter Of the appropria
tien bill was broached, Supervisor Me
Clellan advised waiting until the full
bpard could be present before doinl
anything, 80 that all would have /
chance 70 discuss matters.
There viii be a special meeting todal
