It Is Thought Other Actions viii ~
be Settled.

Ames, Dec 1.-THE Office of the
Iowa highway commission reports that
the suits to recover filed in Clinton
county by Attorney General Cosson
against the Clinton Bridge Co., have
been settled outside court. 1t is stat.
ed that the Clinton Bridge Co., has
paid back to the Clinton county treas
ury about $4,000. The $2O,OU0 is the
approximate total of overcharges the
bridge company collected from Clinton
county between the years 1906 and
1910, inclusive.
The refund by the Clinton Bridge
company is the final outcome, from the
bridge company's angle of the inves-
tigation work of the state highway
commission In Clinton county. 1t Is
said other defendants to the thirty
one indictments returned by the Clin-
ton county grand jury in the super
visors' alleged bridge graft probe will
make refunds of money collected and
not due. J. H. Mcdonald, engineer of

FROM POSTOFFICE

: Arlington, Dec. 2.-The postoffice
here was robbed of between 5000 and
$500 and the robbers made their es'
cape. From every indication they were
experts. 1t is thought they entered the
building about midnight. The big door
was blown off the safe, but 1t appears
that not single person in the village
was awakened. The robbers then went
to the barn of William Van Garpen,
secured his team, and drove to Ackley.
It is thought that they boarded the
Iowa Central north or south bound
passenger there. The team was found

CRUSHED STONE FOR
THE COUNTRY ROADS
Board Of Control Says Material May
Be Secured by Counties for
Road Maklna *, ~

Des Moines, Dec. 2.-For a number
of years the state board Of control has
sought to induce counties or COM
munities to make use of crushed stone
which is a product of the state quar-
ries in connection with the state re-
formatory at Anamosa, to be used for
road making, but it has been found al
most impossible for the local officials
to provide for the use of this road ma
terial The railroads have made what
they say is the lowest possible rate
for handling the crushed stone, but
the rate is still so high that 1T cannot
be transported very far. The legisla-
ture some years ago provided that this
curshed stone could be secured at
Anamosa by counties for road making
1t is said that some effort will be
made to secure better conditions so
that the state furnished stone may be
more commonly used in road making

BARNEY after
oLE0 SELLERS
HEAD OF IOWA PURE FOOD DE-
pARTMENT WON'T PERMIT
SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER

Des Moines, Dec. q A new ana
interesting phase of the cleo questlon
came to the attention Of w. b. Barney
state food and dairy commissioner
RECENTLY. He was in local restaurant
and store and observed in the Wlndo"
sample of oleomargarine on plate
Them samples of the color capsules
with which it is colored, and also
sample of the product as coioreu' re
suggested to the owner that TINS might
be violation of the law and the
articles were Immediately removed.
Since then Mr. Barney has received
a request for ruling, in oehaH Oh
makers of oleomargarine, as TO
whether or not dealer can exnlolt a
sample Of colored oleo to show now IL
can be made to look like butter by use
Of the prepared dye which Is furnished
10 customers. He holds that this is not
permissible. The law plainly says
that the having possession OF for pur-
nose OF sale oleomargarine OF yell
low color shall be unlawful and II
small amount can be kept on hand
larger amount could also be kept
s'If the dealers in oleomargarlne
were willing to sell the product for
what it is and for what 1t Is worth
there would never be any trouble over
that law" said Mr.. Barney. But while
they say that all they desire to do Is
to color it to make it look more
palatable, yet the fact remains that
where it can be sold for butter it is
sold at butter prices.

IT had that situation presented to
