BOOMING GAS PLANT.
A Local Company Being Organized
to Float the Project. Vinton
Man Explains the Plant.

Manchester is all active with the
prospect of having another enter
prise in the shape Of a gas plant.
All OF the larger towns over the
state are securing these plants for
gas is very economical for both
light and fuel, as the number of
useful bi-products that can be sold
greatly increases the cost of pro-
duction. Eug7y
E. w. Murphy Of Vinton, one
OF the stockholders in the gas COM
pany there was in the city a few
days last week and carefully ex-
planned the workings of their con-
cern.
He informed us that the plant at
Vinton, which is a city of 3.4OO,
cost approximately $4,000 and Is
yielding large dividends. The en-
tire plant is owned by home capi-
tai and Mr.. c. E. Chapman. who is
promoting the Manchester concern,
is canvasslng the business men and
hopes that no outside capital will
be required to erect one here.
Thirty thousand dollars is the
sum needed to provide our Dairy
City with gas. This would mean
one OF the latest. plants with all the
modern inventions for filtration,
publication and high pressure.

BICYCLE AND AUTO COLLIDE.

collided on his bicycle with an au-
tomobile belonging to the Model
laundry of Waterloo. The bicvcle
was broken up but the rider es-
capped with but slight bruises. The
accident took place at what is known
as the four corners. An accident
has been expected at that place
for some time, as the auto drivers
and cyclists are very careless.
There are many laws governing
the driving of cars in city, but
from all indications these are not be-
ing regarded very we'll. The au-
thorities have warned several peo-

Employees. 5s

The employees of the Dairy City

cape Thursday afternoon when one

srator plant exploded and filled the
building with the poisonous fumes.
Several Of the employees were
working far from the exits and be-.
fore they could reach them were
partially overcome by the gas. III.
Miss Margaret Florine, who was
wrapping butter in the room where
the pipe exploded, was unable to get
out and before assistance reached.
Ter was totally overcome and when
she was carried from the building
it was thought that her condition
was serious, but she recovered from
the effects Of the gas all right. iva q
Great difficulty was experienced in
repairing the bursted pipes. as the
place was SO permeated with gas
that the workmen could only work
a few minutes at a time for fear Of
being overcome. Ii:

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

For the week ending July 2S, 1912.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The conditions during the past
week We're almost ideal for growing
crops, and for haying, harvesting ano
.hrashing. The temperature was
about normal, and while the rainfall.
was generally deficient, nearly al.
parts Of the state received light to
sopious showers. Some localities In
the southern districts, however, need
rain badly for corn, potatoes ane
pastures, but for the state as a
whole all crops are in excellent con-
dition. Haying is nearly finished,
and the crop has been put up in fine
shape. The yield of hay is better
than anticipated and the quality Is
extra good. The small grain har-
vest has progressed rapidly, and the
bulk of it vii: be completed by the
end of the coming week. Early re
ports show some exceptionally large
yields and fine quality of grain. The
yield Of winter wheat ranges from
twenty-five to fifty bushels per acre;
oats thirty to sixty-five and barley.
twenty-five to thirty bushels. Nc
timothy has yet been thrashed, but a
large acreage has been cut for seed.
Corn has made rapid growth, and the
early fields are shooting nicely, but
- crop as whole is not yet quite,
up 60 the normal in size and devel-
opment, although the prospects are
good for better than an average
yield if favorable weather continues.
Potatoes are generally in good condi-
ton and give promise of large
crop.
