The commission also arranged for a
meeting in Des Moines on June
with the subcommittee of the legis-
lature which framed the new road law.
A thousand copies of the preliminary
annotated edition of the law prepared
by the attorney generals office in con-
junction with the commission, are
now off the press.
1t is the desire of the commission to
confer with Senator Balkema, and
Representative Brockway and the com
mittee about the interpretations placed
upon the sections of the law, that the
commission may work in harmony
with the spirit and intent of the
trainers of tho measure.
The commission will invite Cover
nor Geo. W. Clarke, Attorney Geo. Cos
son and probably the state highway
engineers from Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota to discuss the road
law before the county engineers on
June 10.
Standards of road building as tc
width. grade. drainage, etc, will be
outlined. The use of gravel as top
dressing will likely be urged.
An important object of the confer
ence is to arrange for uniform maps
and blanks to be used by the engi-
neers in the plans for the $4,000 miles
of county highways. The maps filed
with the commission to date are OF
many sorts and sizes; a uniform sys.
tenn will make for efficiency in hand
ling them.

Daily Stock Letter

rCopyright, 1913. by the New York
Evening Post Col
NEW YORK, May 22.-That prices
on the stock exchange should have
recovered sharply today with a
larger business done than has been
witnessed in nearly three weeks
and that the ostensible basis of the
movement should have been reports
that the Union Pacific's plan for mar,
keting its Southern Pacific shares
had been tentatively arranged, point.
ed to two facts in the market. One
is that some of the professional oper-
ators have satisfied themselves that
a market which has no longer refused
to stir, at the end of long decline,
is what Wall street calls "sold-out
market The other is, that Wall
street sentiment is somewhat weary
of harping en- old and daily reiterated
considerations So far as regards the
Pacific railway matter, the inference
drawn today from the news that
Southern Pacific's officers are coming
east to confer with Union Pacific off
GERS was plausible enough. No off,
cial of either road has any intention
of letting this matter go by default
and therefore tentative plan must
have been under careful review, both
here and at Washington But it may
fairly be conjectured that the real
cause for the change in the markets

Crop Expert
Board.

The executive committee of the In

meeting this morning voted to close
the deal for the Henry Rein property
on which the association had an OPP
ton. The owners were notified about
two months ago on the day the option
expired that it would be exercised but
questions arose which kept the mat
ter somewhat unsettled until today.
A suit was recently begun and decree
obtained in the district court to clear
up some phases of the title to the
property.
The tract is situated just beyond
the end of Main street and is a part
of the several hundred acres of land
on which the association obtained op-
tions last year for industrial sites.
After the tract near the Des Moines
river bridge was purchased the idea
of taking up options on the land was
abandoned. However, the association
directors decided to take up the option
on the Rein property pending develop
ment of any other factory sites SO
that in the meantime sites could be
offered to concerns 1t contains six

PEST HOUSE BAND
HEARD IN ACTION

HARMONY OVER PHONE
Problem Of Securing Musical Instru.

What is hailed as one of the most
cleVer performances of smallpox pa

within the borders of Keolxlk during
the last twenty-four hours. knowing
the ionesomeness of the atmosphere
/ in which his charges must exist dur.
ing their housed period and in which
time they are not allowed to see any
one except those affected with the
same disease, the caretaker at the
pest house conceived the idea of or
ganizing a band.
1t was about eight o'clock last
night, when the band of four mu-
sicians directed by the custodian of
the little red house out back OF
Oakland cemetery, felt capable OF en-.
PERTAINING others besides themselves,
and of making their debut before a
music-loying populace down town.
Never was the modern invention of
Alexander Graham Bell--the tele-
Iphone-more fully appreciated by the
musicians nor their hearers. 1t was
but simple matter for the director
caretaker to call up any number on
the line he wanted and the party TAX.

Music Under Difficulties.
| There is an inside story to that
musicale given in the pesthouse last
night. To imagine that handsome,
silvered or nickeled instruments were
used by the performers would be
erroneous. A trombone and cornet
were all that could be found for a
part of the band But every first
class orchestra has traps. including
drums and traps. There was gal
vanized wash tub outside the door and
wash boiler lid which would serve
admirably for the traps.

and the musicians were ready for
their first pubic performance. Central
