To Introduce New Wheat,

For the purpose of introducing the
new Marquis wheat into Iowa the
Iowa Millers' club is preparing to i'm
port 5000 bushels from Canada fol
general distribution through mills and
elevators. The wheat will be bought
for cash and will be sold to all who
wish it at cost. That it is a success
in this section is proved by the fact
that small quantities of it have been
raised near Des Moines for the past
two years, These patches all went
over 30 bushels to the acre. Mar
quis wheat is a cross between the

THE MAKING OF A CITY
Building Operations Going On Here

Zephaniah Hadley has accomplish.
ed a neat trick OF carpentry at his
home, No. 407 South Market street,
worthy of special attention. Mr.. Had.
ley is a carpenter, one of the best, in
the days of his activity and the piece
of work he has recently accomplish.
ed proves that his hand has lost none
of its cunning. Mr.. Hadley has sue
ceeded In building stairway of
nineteen steps and twenty rises that
has space of less than five feet
square in which to travel the dis
lance. The stairway was built about
a solid post, about four by four
inches to provide way of commun'
lication at the rear of the property
and the second floor for the con.
veDience of the occupants. 1t is
made on the plan of circular or
winding stairs. The steps are NOR.
ticed into the post at one end and
connect with an outer support and
rail. OF necessity the steps are wider
at the outside than at the central
post but they are OF sufficient dimen'
sions to give easy passage. 1t is
doubtful If there is anything else like
his stairway in the whole town.

the outside. Not long ago, South L
street was put to grade at the L

and a somewhat severe cut made
This left a somewhat unsightly knoll
at the corner where the grade falls
rapidly toward A street. Mr.. Perry
will cut away this elevation, pulling

place.

What is intended by the Traction
Company in acquiring the Perry 10

that an extension of the building
