CRIPPLE CREEK
OFFICIALS TOUR
OF INSPECTION
fFrom Saturdays Dally.)

Will be in the city today TO make 1
thorough inspection OF the propert,
holdings Of the company here. The
rolling stock. shop equipment and
everything belonging TO the railroad
will be looked after.
For the past two weeks trains have
been busy bringing all OF the rolling
stock Of the road this side OF The
washout to Canon City. Trains ri
the other end were also gathering all
the cars in the yards at Cripple Greek.
The depots between here and Cripple
Creek have all been closed up.
However. this does not mean that
the railroad is TO be abandoned. II
will be some months before the road
can be placed in shape again. and TOR
this reason the above measures have
been taken to cut down expenses and
also place as much of the property OF
the road in one place as is possible
No statement has been made public
in regard to the decision OF the d.
rectors as to whether the road VIII
be repaired or not. In fact. they do
not know themselves yet. and viii
not until they meet and discuss the
matter with the bondholders OF the
road.
II is the opinion OF many who can
give an authoritative opinion that the
road will be rebuilt Those who know
state that the bondholders will no;
permit their investment 10 be thus
easily taken away. and that be-
cause OF the revenue that has been
coming to them. they viii demand
that the road be rebuilt.
The officials will make a report ~
here and Will also Investi-
gate further the condition OF the road
from this end OF the line and estimate
the amount of repairing that will be
necessary
An effort viii be made by the bufi-
ness associations OF both Cripple
Creek and Canon City to have the road
reopened because Il Is necessity
to both towns. Traffic between Grip
Pile Creek and Victor and Canon City
has been increasing the past year or
two and many people who have bual-

is thought that their convincing arEu-

Is certain that the road will not be

THE CITY PARK.
Commissioners Busy Improving and
Cleaning Up City's New
Play Ground.

With the opening of spring the
city park commissioners are busy
with work in the new park, pur-
chased by the business men and pre-
sented to the city last year. They
have engaged Mr.. P. G.. Johnson for
the summer to take charge of the
improvement work, and he has been
working for some time taking out
the stumps, cleaning up the under
brush, resetting trees, shrubbery, etc.
in conformity with the plans adopted
by the commissioners. With the
limited sum of money available pro-
gress is necessarily somewhat slow
in placing the park in the desired
condition, but before the end of the
season 1T will be the prettiest public
park in the state of Iowa. The
streets will be graded, the knobs
terraced and sloped, shrubs grouped
in attractive places here and there,
trees set out where needed along the
drives and walks, and the grass kept
in good shape. 1t is ultimately the
hope of the commissioners to con-
struct a convenient pavilion, a band
stand, to place drinking fountains,
sanitary toilets and other conven-
fences in the park, and to make it an
ideal resting place for the public. 1t
is thought that probably much of
this work can be done during the
present season. Then comes the beau
tifying with paths, rustic bridges,
waterfalls, lagoons, arched paths,
and the many other things that will
make the park beautiful.
The park is now open to public
use, and the people of the city are
invited to visit it at any time and
see what a beautiful place it is. Boys
are warned, however, against shoot
ing al squirrels or birds within the
park, or removing or dislodging any
portion of the stone walls, or ter
races, or in any injuring or destroy
ing any of the property. The park
will be policed and offenders will be
promptly arrested.

GETS FINE APPOINTMENT.
Assistant Postmaster II. III. Miller is
Appointed Federal Post Office
Inspector.

A splendid appointment has come
to one of the best young men in De-
corah in the person of Mr.. r. H.
Miller, assistant postmaster, who be-
comes United States Post Office In
spector, at large increase of salary
over his present position. Mr.. Miller
has been assistant postmaster during
the past eight years, and his record
has been exceptional, so much so that
Inspector j. d. Farrell of Mason City
has often publicly commended it,
and finally recommended to the gov
eminent that Mr.. Miller be appointed
an inspector, and the recommends
tion was adopted by the Postmaster
General. The one thing to be regret
ted is that the appointment will take
Mr.. Miller away from DEBORAH, as he
must be in readiness to go anywhere
he may be sent. He has not yet been
notified of his territory or district,
put is daily expecting notice to enter
upon his new work, which will con-
sist of covering a certain district and
making periodical inspections of the
post offices within that district.
Mr.. Miller will be generally con-
graduated. The appointment comes
as a reward for efficient service, and
is justly bestowed.
His retirement from the local post
Office gives opportunity for the adj
vancement of the entire force, Mr..
w. C. Hogan becoming assistant post
master, while the vacancy is made up
by the appointment of John Mccall
to a position in the Office force.

the little visitor inquired:

eat anything, Mr.. Smith,"
Yes, always. l never neglect to
thank the Lord for what He has
done for us, and to ask Him to help
us more. Doesn't your father ever

resident of this township, living just
northeast of the city, died at the
Lutheran hospital in La Crosse on
Friday, where he went a month ago
and submitted to an operation for
and gall stones, but the
illness of ten years had so impaired
his constitution that he was unable
to Withstand it. He was born in
Madison township on Nov. s, 1861,
and his entire life has been spent in
this county. He was married in 1896
to Miss Catherine Theilich, who sur
wives him, together with his father,
Jacob Hegg, one brother and two
sisters. The funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon from the
home, Rev. DR.. M. Willett officiating,
with interment in Phelps cemetery.
Mr.. Hegg was an upright, conscien-
tious man, a good friend and neigh
Dor, who will be missed by all who
knew him.

The closest high school debate of
recent years was won by the Boone
team from Forest City at Iowa City,
by vote of two to one. The ques-
ton was by no means settled at the
time the rebuttals had been reached.
In fact, this is where the real con-
test asserted itself, and it was not
until the decision of the judges had
been announced that the contest was
brought effectually to a close. In
the department of rebuttal it is be-
lieved that Boone was superior.
