MAY CHANGE BRIDGE PLAN.
Supervisors Contemplate Change IL
East Main Street Bridge.


7, is nossible that the board of su-
neryisors will make a change in the
plans for the proposed reinforced con-
crete bridge over the Iowa river on the
East Main street road to replace the
old bridge, or it is possible that the
| board may decide not TO let the con-
tract for the bridge this summer The
bridge originally proposed was three
stxty-foot arches on which the bid OF
s.. $40 of the Capital City Construction
Company, Of Des Moines was accepted
In the spring when the contract for
four other smaller bridges was let to
this Des Moines company. The plans
for this large bridge were not passed
on by the Iowa state highway commits
sion until several weeks later, and not
until after the commission had ap-
proved the plans for the four small
bridges. This resulted in the contract
for the four smaller bridges being
signed. One Of them has been built
and work has been begun on the sec
ond. Later the highway commission
approved the plan for the Iowa river
bridge without making any changes.
and the Capital City Construction
Company is now insisting that the SUI
pervisors prepare and enter into con-
tract with the company Tor the build
ing Of the river bridge. The Dobson
brothers, of the construction company,
met with the supervisors Monday aft
ernoon for the purpose OF having the
! board agree to enter into contract
| 50 that work on the large bridge could
| be begun. The supervisors. however,
decided to visit the site for the pro-
posed river bridge, as it was suggested
that perhaps a 150-foot bridge Of two
seventy-ive foot spans might be better
suited for the purpose than the 1So-
| foot bridge. II 1t Is decided to build
the shorter bridge, disinterested en-
gineer, probably Thomas II. MacDon-
aid, Of the state highway commission.
will be called on to estimate the diff
ference in cost between the long
| bridge, on which the contracting COM
pany bid, and the shorter bridge, that
may be built and fix the price at which
the contract Is to be signed for. The
Capital City Construction Company has
agreed to this plan. For the purpose
Of deciding whether to build or not and
II they did build the length Of bridge
| needed, the supervisors visited the site
this forenoon. They also went to st.
| Anthony to inspect the seventy foot
| span that the Capital City Construc-
ton Company recently completed near
there.

the opinion Of any who have visited
the home recently.
Lake Bed . Bower.
The old lake bed. which refused 10
hold water, has not refused TO nolo
flowers. The bed is perfect bower:
Multi colored foliage plans. ana
eerantums of various hues have been
used in profusion in building beds OF
different size and shape. In the lake
bed are several of these beds, while
others have been placed in front OF the
main and other buildings. In the iaHe
bed are three notices, done in flowers
and foliage. Iowa Soldiers Home,
"Cnion For Ever" and "E Plurious
Ju,iu,," There are also II the !e.e

Many Beautiful Carnations.
To the north Of the boiler plant, ex-
tending along the vegetable garden to

300 feet long, Of white. pink, and RED

In the green house are two lemon
trees bearing fruit, and the lemons,
still green, are of exceptional size.
Later the lemons will be used to make
lemonade for hospital patients. one

The sick rooms IN the hospital are
kept br;gh: with fragrant blossoms cut
from the home flower gardens, and the
flowers prove source of great pleas
ure to the members.
Mr.. Gurstenkorn, who has been en-
ployed as home gardener for the past
few years, helped lay out the flower
beds Of the old worlds fair grounds in
Chicago and later helped build the
beds of Jackson park.

NEW YORK LETTER

new YORK, july l. he high
cost of living is not all due to ad-
YanceS in prices of food and other
necessities" says a market man
on upper Broadway. That's
partly it, and it is true that prices
have advanced enormously. But
the fact remains that my custom
ers could feed themselves for
much less than it costs them, and
live just as we'll, if they. only
knew how.
"See that man over there?" He
pointed to a small, poorly-dressed
man, with a basket. "He has just
bought two pounds of Goldfish, at
16 cents a pound. Right on the
same counter are porgies, at 8
cents a pound. There's no finer
tasting fish to be had, and they
are as nourishing. But this
mans wife told him to go to mar
ket and buy Goldfish, and he's
buying Goldfish. Neither of them
thinks of taking the trouble to
find out whether they can save
money by buying some other fish,
and be just as we'll satisfied.
. ''Then look at that little girl, at
the dairy counter. She's getting
a pound of butter. l know the
family. There are seven, alto
gether, working-people, and they
buy about seven pounds of butter
a week, at 81 cents a pound. It's
an extravaganza, pure and sim

eat all they want of it, regard |

ler-looking than they are here.
Look at that woman buying
a fancy package of crackers. She's
paying five cents for crackers and
five cents for decorated wrapper.
There are people who can afford
to do that, but she isn't one of
them. That doesn't make any
difference to her; the wrapper is
attractive, and she buys.
Those eggs at Is cents a dozen
are all right. They're the kind 1
take home. But women who
haven't as much money to spend
on their table as my wife has
come in here and say give me
half dozen of those fancy white
eggs"-at a fancy price.
"I'm not defending the robbers
who have showed up prices on
everything to eat. I'm only say
ing people could meet the situa-
ton good deal more success
fully than they do, if they would
take the trouble to find out what
they can easily do without, and
what is cheapest"

CHICAGO, June l3-The frat tell
ing victory for Roosevelt forces be-
tore the Republican national commit
tee came this afternoon when me
committee, on motion OF Senate Pen
rose, placed the Roosevelt delegates
at-large from Missouri on the tempo
rary roll OF the convention. Origl-
nally there were eight delegates
elected with half vote each. lie
committee desired that the represen.
tation from the state be the sarie as
IN other states and the proposition
was made that the first four names
on the list of delegates 10 the conven-
fion be made the regular delegates
and the four other delegates be made
the alternates. This was put UP TO
Gov HadIey TO decide.
The governor Immediately agreed
to the proposition and the temporary
roll will contain these names TO. dele
gates-at-large from Missouri:
Gov. Herbert S. Hadley, Jesse A.
Tolerton, Walter s. Dickey, John ID.
McNeeley; alternates, Hugh Mclndoe
Fred. Essen, A. A. Speer and John w.

The hearing OF the Missouri case
was marked with better temper than
any OF the big contests that have so
far preceded il. There seemed dis
position both On the part OF the Tart
and the Roosevelt members OF the
committee 10 probe the contest TO the
bottom and every opportunity was
taken TO give the contestants a
chance to tell their whole story
The entire situation hinged on the
question of whether there was an
agreement between the Taft and the
Roosevelt men in Missouri 10 divide
the delegation. Gov. Hadley emphatic
ally declared that there never had
been any such agreement. Ii was
conclusively shown that a majority
OF the delegates TO the state conyen-
tion voted for both the Roosevelt dele
gates and for the resolutions OF in
struction and the case was so clear
that long before II was finished the
Taft members of the committee were
discussing ii among themselves. Ii
was soon found that the committee
was unanimous for the proposition
and Immediately after the hearing the
vote was taken and was unanimous.
When the vote on the Missouri con-
test for delegates at large was an
