peace Of which Europe. on tenternookS
for many months. was absolutely in need
as an anodyne to her overstrung nerves.
Count de Reventlow, who was pessimist
until now. writes in the Deutsche Tages-
zeitung:
Europe can now breathe delivered from
the oppression caused by the exterior sit
uation Certainly there are many DIM
cuIties in the inextricable network OF
financial and territorial problems to be
solved, but II is improbable that there
can be any serious conflict. Russia has
pronounced definitely the word that saves
the situation. and We salute the fact with
sincere satisfaction. NJ. Tazonof is to be
congratulated for his prudence and the
ffrmness with which he has given to
Europe the peace SO ardently desired and
which assures at the same time the peace
of the world.
And the Taegliche Rundschau writes:
1.-The Russian sphinx Is hereafter the
father and the protector of the Siav
states Of the Balkans. This is pact
which will be written definitely in CO.

The communication of the Russian gov
eminent may be briefly resumed because
of its acknowledged importance at this

of National Forests.

which the government has entered upon
on the national forests of the west. Ex-
perts Of the bureau of soils of the De-
partment of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the forest service, are working on
study of the agricultural possibilities of
all parts of the national forests where
1t is probable that farm crops can be
grown with profit and 1t is probable that
there will be available for farming pur-
poses within two years between 100000
and 100000 acres. providing homes for
30, 600 to $1,000 families.
This area of land which will be re-
leased for settlement is larger, in size
than the combined area of all of the land
on the governments irrigation projects
Of the west The action in restoring the
land to entry is in accord with policy
entered upon by the forest service seven
years ago, but until the present year
there was no appropriation which made 1t
possible to carry on the work of classify
ing the agricultural lands systematically
and on large scale. July l an appro-
priation of $4,000 will be available to
carry on the investigation. Without spe-
cial facilities, however, the forest serv-
ice already has examined and classified as
chiefly valuable for agriculture more than
], 200, 900 acres, or land enough for 1900
homes.

BUILDING MAY BE
RAISED OVER RIVER
Waterloo Plans to Observe Character.
IstIc Trait by Making Coliseum,
Serve Both Sides Of City.

Waterloo, April 21-Since the legis-l
lature has passed bill authorizing
the erection Of coliseum over the
Cedar river at this point, it IL ex-
pected Mayor Thompson soon will call
q special election to ascertain the
wishes of the voters. II the citixens
indorse the project, the coliseum
seating 5000 to 5000 people, will be-
built upon the extension of the piers
of the melan arch concrete bridge at
Fourth street.
Waterloo Is q city Of twins. There
are twin public school systems, twin
Carnegie libraries, twin postohices,
twin fire stations and each section OF
the city has three councilmen.
In late years the sectional spirit
caused by the rivers dividing the
town has died out, but in order to
bury 1t the plan to place the coliseum
above the river was conceived.
The public is divided on the PROPOSE
ton for unitarian and artistic req
sons. Some argue that the placing OF
extended piers In the river would
menace the city In times Of foods,
while others would not have the pres.
|ent beautiful river view efIaced.

KEOTA TO HAVE
NEW OPERA HOUSE
Public Spirited Citizens Raise Funds
to Erect Structure Costing $4,000 y
Much 10 Raised.

Keota, April 21.-Keota is to have
a $4,000 opera house. Several large
sums have been subscribed by public
spirited citizens and smaller ones
came In rapidly. The aim was to raise
$4,000.
Twelve thousand dollars have al
ready been subscribed and there Is no
doubt about securing the other $4,000.
The location Is the most desirable on
Broadway, being centrally located and
on the road to the public park. The
plans for the building are not deter
mined, but 1t will be Of q style credit
able to the town. It is proposed to in
clude In the building rooms for pub
lie library and rest room and it is
hoped these plans will materialize, as
that feature would give Keota per-
manent library and would supply a
long standing need for rest room. J..
F. Romine, j. M. White and G. A..
Lacey were the original papers. Every
one should take stock In the enter
prise.
