done. Marshalltown has now shown
that she a clean out her saloons by
q majority OF her voters. h a she can
obtain the cheapest paving In the state
thru the commission form Of govern
ment adopted by the vote of her people,
that she can get the cheapest a and
electricity in Iowa by a majority vote,
and that her people are now pulling
together 6 to / for the development
and upbuilding Of their town. Labor
wars have ceased and labor leaders are
at work with the business men for the
good Of The town. The fear that q dry
town meant a divided town has disap-
peared. There never was a brighter
prospect for Marshalltown than at the
! present time.
The primary election m Monday
when every voter should show enough
| patriotism to justify his right and
privilege to vote. Progressive repub-
licans are urged to vote so as to help
out in the total count. Two years
Marshall county's progressive majority
Of nearly 1000 was worth as much to
! progressive candidates as ten such
| counties as Black Hawk where the pro-
| gressive majority was little more than
| 100. but still the progressive candi-
date for governor failed Of nomination
! because the prcgressives Of northern
Iowa stayed at home. Kenyon needs
votes for senator, so does Clarke for
governor. Van Law for lieutenant
governor and Chassell for secretary of
state. Let all progressives vote.
We have a law which makes 1t COM
| pulsory on the part of township trus-
| tees and city councils to have the roads
dragged and it provides penalties for
| superintendent who neglect to see
| that the dragging is done. Up in Sioux
! county last week they enforced the
| penalty by filming a superintendent $50
; for the first offense in neglecting his
! duty, but nothing Of that kind has been
! thought of here, however, the neglect
| to drag has been quite general during
, corn planting time. The necessity for
rushing to the corn fields between
showers has been taken as an excuse
! not to drag the roads and this last
! week the road commissioner for the
! city. finding all spare teams at work on
! the paving and the city's own teams
/ being busy. the dragging OF the
was neglected. We are a long way
from regular and unfailing road WORK
yet.
Councilman Herman, IN his defense
Of his department. remarked very
truly that you automobile fellows kick
about every little bump anyway 1t
is all true that in this day Of automo-
biles depressions in the roads and cul-
verts or crossings raised above the
road bed are of far more pubic an
thar they ever were before
however. the use of automobiles Is
growing so fast that road work u

keeping with the times, and this u

the vicinity ought to be associated IN

INSANE IN MINNESOTA.
State Wants County to Care for lts
Ward. John N. Spence.

John ". Spence. formerly of Glenn
ons. is insane in the Minnecota state
hospital for the insane at st. Peter.
according to advice received by the
board of supervisors from the state
board of control. Spence was at one
time a ward of this county. in the
state hospital at Independence. and
as he never gained a residence in
Minnesota he will probably be returned
to independence at the expense Of this
county. Spence was sent to the state
hospital in June. 1910. He was paroled
into the care of Ora Spence and ac-
companied the latter to Minnesota
when Ora Spence moved there to live.
Since then John Spence was dis
charged as cured. but last January he
became insane again and was COM
mitted to the state hospital at ST.
Peter. Minnesota has asked that Iowa
take care of him.

Local Comment

The vote of s to 1 upon the ran
chises means that -our people believe
M~arshalltown to be upon h V OF
expansion and development. With
twice as nan street cars on her main
streets and twice the mileage serving
more tina twice the people that were
served before, with as cheap gas as any
city in the state except Des Moines
and Cedar Rapids. and with the cheap
est electric light and power rates in
Iowa, cheaper than Des Moines, Bur-
lington. Waterloo or Cedar Rapids the
town is in a fair way to BOON. The
extension Of the car lines will cause
whole neighborhoods of new houses to
spring up. Workmen will be employed,
and new families will be attracted.
Marshalltown. today. is the finest
city in the state in which to live and
this is no boast. 1t is now provable
First-Built upon an eminence and
perfectly drained with an abundance of

Third Having the best public
schools west of Chicago it is the best

cal power and plenty of it with inter-
urhans a strong possibility it is the
one town of the greatest industrial
possibilities and hence a good town in

Each and every one of these points
of excellence is a ~provable PROPOSE
ton with the facts behind it instead OF
the average boosters hot air. AS to
higher educational facilities two great

Politically the franchise election was
of great value in boosting the city De-
cause it was clearly the last stand of
an old coterie which. when in power,
had done more to advertise the city
abroad as a place Of evil doins and

Blueston Deal Rounding Out.

The Salt Lake Tribune of a recen.
date, says, that unless all signs fail
there will be some interesting infor-
nation available in a short time in
regard to the acquisition by the Ma
son Valley Mines Co. of the Blue
stone property in the Yerington dis
trict. George F. Gum, the senior
member of the firm of Gum Thomp-
son & Co, is in the east, and while
local circles acquainted with condi-
tons admit that they are merely
guessing. they believe the Bluestone
deal was one attraction that took Mr.
Gum east these warm summer days
There are few deals supposedly
pending that have created more in
terest out west than this, for the
Bluestone has been one of the pc
culiar propositions all along The ore
demands concentration by the mag
netic process and the problems have
been worked out in manner highly
satisfactory. The concentrates will
average better than IS per cent cop
per and they will have a heavy iron
base which will bring them a ready
welcome at the Mason Valleys own
smelling plant at Thompson, some
IL miles distant
The deal is though to involve not
less than $l,5OO.OOO. while three
quarters of million dollars in addi.
ton is the sum deemed necessary to
install the kind of mill the proposition
will demand The Bluestone is the
property of Captain De Lamar. and
during the past few years it has been
the subject of several deals which
were never consummated. The mine
has been examined by numerous en-
gineers of prominence. the last being
Henry Krumb, presumably for the
Grnn-Thompson interests.
The mine is developed for a work
ing depth of $50 feet. while drill op-
erations to the $50 level have been
carried forward, at which depth. re-
port has it, the ore becomes altered
into iron.

YER|NCTON WILL SOON HAVE A
fine SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM

On Monday night of this week, at
a meeting of the City Council, bids
were opened for the construction of a
sanitary sewer system for the city of
Yerington. There were four bids on
the work and all the bidders agreed to
take Yerington city bonds for the
work. which speaks pretty well for
the standing of the city on the out
side Some weeks ago the Council
passed and published resolution for
the passing of an ardintnce to issue
$4,000 in bonds for sewer construc-
ton The four bids on the work came
from widely different parts of the
country, one being from Portland
concern. one from an Idaho con-
struction company. one from Rich
Hill Mo. and one from the American
Light & Water Co. of Chicago The
latter bid was the lowest, $24 400, and
the contract to build the sewer was
awarded To this company. The
agreement is that the sewer shall be
completed within l30 days from the
the engineer employed by the City
To line up the system and supervise
its construction, and he has designed
4 very complete ana cHeCuNc system.
The sewer mains will follow the water
mains as now laid in the streets OF
the city. The water being so close
to the surface of the ground in this
section it will be necessary TO use a
pump to dispose of the sewage. The
system will start at the south city
limits. where the main will be about
thirty inches under ground, and the
fall through Main street for the main
trunk line will be such that at point
some six hundred feet north of Pearl
street the depth will be close to nine
feet. Here concrete tank will be
installed in which will be placed Il
centrifugal pump and an electric mo-
tor, which will act automatically as

After Artesian Wells.

r. w Clark the we'll driller, has
gate his tract OF land and will raise
ranch, just south of Wabuska, with the
purpose in view OF securing artesian
water He estimates that he will get
a good flow of water at a depth OF
about 600 or 700 feet. If the water Is
secured Mr. Feeny will use it to irri
gate his tract of land and will raise
vegetables for his Wabuska hotel
Should the flow be sufficient he will
also pipe the water to Wabuska and
put in water system for the town,
Mr.. Clark has contracts to bore sew
eral more wells in that section TO see
if artesian water can be obtained, one
of which will be on the Perazzo
piece OF ground, adjoining the tract
belonging to Mr. Fceny. The Peraz
20 brothers will also try irrigation by
the pumping system ii enough water
can be secured.

BANK CASE SETTLED.
Long Litigation is Ended by Making
Compromise.

The State Bank and Trust case
which has occupied the District Court
of Ormsby county for over two years,
came to an end Tuesday morning when
Receiver Wilds recommended that the
offer of the directors to settle for SIS,
600 be accepted.
1t has been known for the past two
or three weeks that negotiations have
been under way for the settlement OF
the case, but as often as it was thought
that the matter was settled. some
thing would come up which would
knock it all into cooked har.
This does not mean that the mat
ter of the bank will be entirely cleared
up but will only end the portion OF
the case wherein the directors are par
ties. Receiver Wilds will be kept
busy cleaning up the matters that he
has already started in attempts to re-
alize on securities and collect other
moneys by due process of law.
Up to this time the suit has cost the
directors thousands of dollars. They
had to defend the action against them
selves, and it has also cost the de
positors much money, as there Is lot
of expert testimony in and the lawyers
have big bills that will either be trim
med down to reason or allowed, as
the Judge deems necessary. 1t has
been one of the most expensive suits
ever attempted i'll Ormsby county and
has been a source of worry to the di-
rectors in every sense. The fact that
several of the members wanted com
promise earlier in the case shows that
they figured it cheaper to make such
a settlement than to continue case
that would involve more money, time
and trouble
The rumor was current tor day or
so that the directors had offered the
sum of $4,000 in settlement, but that
Receiver Wilds had refused to accept
this amount and had held out for $780,
600, which amount was finally agreed
upon.-Va. City Enterprise.

VALUABLE AUTO BURNED.
Col. Proskey Loses His Big Fiat Car
by Fire.

Colonel w. s. Proskey. the mining
man of Reno, had the misfortune We'd
nesday to have his big Fiat 9O-horse
power automobile burn up while on a
trip to Talapoosa, the mining camp
near Ramsey. in Lyon county. The
Colonel has large interests in Talla-
poosa and had gone there for the pur-
pose of inspecting the development
work going on to put the property in
shape to ship ore Something went
wrong with the car and Mr.. Proskey
was working on the machine when
carelessly dropped match ignited some
gasoline that had been spilled under
the chassis. In an instant the ma
chine was ablaze and the gasoline
tank exploded, making the fire so
fierce that there was no possible way
OF stopping it or even getting the car
out in the open air. Consequently,
everything that could burn on the car
was consumed. likewise the building
and a wagon that was stored in it.
The automobile cost $l0,5OO and was
the most expensive machine in the
State. 1t had been used about two
years and was insured for $500
