Big Haul With the Net at Spirit Lake.

The gentlemen who are making the
hauls with the big nets at Spirit Lake
were well rewarded for the haul they
made there on Friday last. When the
net was pulled in close to shore the
water in front of the net was just a
foaming mass caused by the flashing of
the hundreds Of soft and game fish it
contained. There were a great many
silver bass, crappies, pike and picker
ell, beside the soft fish of which there
were 1860 pounds. This is one of the
big pulls of the season and it helps
clear the lake of the soft fish. The old
fishermen around the lake say it scat
ters the fish and breaks up the schools
and good fishing spots are hard to To-
cate on that account. Some Of them
say that it leaves so much more feed
for the fish that remain in the lakes
they can get feed SO easily that it
makes catches poor. 1t is said that
this will probably be the last season
the lakes will be seined.
There seems to be a great demand
for these fish as the seiners are re-
warded for their catches by the fish
buyers that stay at the lakes by the
price of three and one-half cents per
pound. In the haul OF last Friday
there were many large b"Ta!o taken
out, but the largest one weighed lit
tie over seventy pounds.-Esthervil

Gov. Shaw, afterward secretary Of
the treasury, said the difference be-
tween the republican and democratic
parties was the republican party
legislated for the producer, while the
democratic party legislated for the
consumer Now the matter is to be
tested. For fifty years the country
has been operated under the admins
tration of the. republican party. It's
history speaks for itself. Now the
country is being operated under a
democratic administration. It has
passed a law to carry out it's ideas
a law which President Wilson says
will distinctly favor the consumer. II
the democratic law continues the same
prosperity to the country that It has
had under a republican administra-
ton then it will prove that the repub-
lican party has been acting under a
false and mistaken policy. There are
millions more foreign goods in the
country today than there was year
ago. If these goods and more to come
can be absorbed without disturbing
the equilibrium of our commercial con-
ditions then the democratic party will
be entitled to praise in proving that
the policy of protection as fostered
and endorsed by the republican party
was false. God pity the country. il 1t
should be proved that the democrats
are INSTRUMENTATION Eagle.

where the matter of good roads in

every standpoint. The delegates who
meeting of the Lincoln Memorial
Highway association could address. the
meeting and tell of the plans that are
nuw under way to build concrete
road from coast to coast, and just
what is expected of Crawford county
in the way of improving that part of
the highway which runs through
Crawford county. The opera house
should be secured for the evening of
the 31st and arrangements made for
several reels of motion pictures and
an orchestra engaged to furnish mu-
sic. The opera house would accom-
modate a large number of people and
would be an ideal place for the cele-
bration. Local speakers could be
called upon for addresses and if pos
sible a speaker of note from away
should be secured.
Other towns along the highway in
this locality are planning celebrations
for the night of October 3lst, and sure
ly Denison should fall in line. Boone
has arranged for such meeting to be
held in the armory at that place. A
band has been secured and number

cuss good roads.

son get together and arrange for a

WOODS TO HAVE OPPOSITION.

J. II. Kelly, the private secretary OF
Congressman Woods, was in the city
for several days last week looking af
ter the chances of the congressman
for denomination. Already there are
signs of opposition developing. A Mr..
Hansen, banker of Bode. Iowa, who
commands much influence with the
Scandinavians OF northern Iowa, is
said to be pluming himself for con-
gress next year. After he enters the
field Mr.. Woods will have something
on his hands because his record of
Accomplishment since he has been in
Washington will then be under in
vestigation.
1t was supposed some time ago
that when Mr.. Woods was elected
chairman of the congressional commit
tee that this would increase his pres
tige to such an extent that he would
have no opposition for the nomina-
ton next year, but it seems that when
a man in politics begins to think him
self on Easy street" that he is then
in the most danger. The formidable
opposition developing against Mr..
Woods has certainly become alarming
or he would not dispense with the
services of his private secretary to
send him out to canvass the district
to ascertain whether his fences are
substantial enough to resist encroach-
ment from his constituents.
If Mr.. Woods had stood by the re-
publican party during the time he has
been in congress, and had not lodged
when he should have stood up and de-
clared himself a republican, he would
be in a safer position than he will be
with the charge against him that his
republicanism is not of the right char
acter During the last campaign he
would not declare himself republi-
can Or say whether he supported
Roosevelt or Taft, except when he
was in Washington he let the i'm
preston go out that he was with Pres
ident Taft, but when he was out here
in the district he left the progressives
think that he was with them, and we
imagine it would be difficult to find
out whether he voted for Taft or for
but for the fact that SEN
ator Cummins supported Roosevelt
and Woods is loyal disciple of Cum
minis and always follows his banner,
which would Indicate that he too voted

being arranged for the night of Oc-
tober 31st, which has been called cell
ebration night.
The Commercial club here in Deni-

ton, Iowa, several years ago paved its
streets; Harlan, Carroll and even Mt.
Vernon are showing what can be done
! when a city is determined to put it.
self at the front.
Carroll will have a large number
of blocks paved before the middle of
the year 1914. Already they have
made start which is creditable to
the city. The use of oil may be all
right in some soils, but it does not
seem. to be adapted to the soil we
have here.
1t may be contended by some that
We have not enough oil on the streets
and that accounts for the disagreeable
dust Others may assert that we have
too much oil and that that accounts
for the dust but in our opinion wheth-
er we have little or much oil upon
the streets We are bound to be con-
fronted with the situation which now
is upon US.
We think the city council should
take up the question and prepare for
paving in the spring. Not large
area of the city, but enough to show
that our intention in time is to extend
the paving over the entire business
portion of the city and into the resi-
Gence district. BY all means let us
have Main street and some of the
cross streets paved up town and let us
begin by paving five or six blocks in
the business district of the city. We
do not advocate paving the whole city
or any considerable portion of it at
this time, but We do advocate paving
a few blocks at once in order to show
that we are up to date and in line with
other cities no more abel TO pave than
DenisOn.

Sunday was another pad day for the
advocates of street oiling. The wind
amused itself by carrying the dust
from the streets into the homes and
everywhere there was room for dust
to accumulate. The more we study
the street oiling question the more we
are convinced that paving is the one
solution of the street problem,
and the sooner we begin the
better it will be for our reputation as
a city. We cannot make the excuse
that we are not able to pave, because
other towns no richer than DenisOn
and some of them much smaller are
engaged in paving their streets. Tip
