Orr had the advantage of twenty
pounds difference in weight between
the two men, the local boy weighing
in at 142 while Ireland tipped the
beams at ,122. Orr was forced to go
for 81 minutes before he forced the
Kids" shoulders to the mat for the
first fall with half Nelson, but the
second came easier, in barely three
minutes. The lighter boy was game,

CINDERS MAKE GOOD
Roads Covered With Ashes Remain
Firm In Wet Weather.

Wisdom and actual value in good
roads have been given new emphasis
right here at home, in Oskaloosa,
through the agency of the recent wet
spell" Several of the highways lead
ing from town, namely the Iowa City
road" extension of A avenue east;
the "Muchakinock' road, extension of
South Market street; Eleventh street,
north of c avenue, and others, we're
treated to covering with ashes some
time ago and were graded and
crowned. When the recent rains
fell any accumulations of dirt or de.
bris on the top of the roads were
quickly removed and the water was
quickly drained to the sides and car.
ried to water courses and the road
ried to awter courses and the road
way left high and dry.
Places where the roads have been
worn are being filed in with new
cinder material and any defects or un-
even places removed. 1t Is the in
tention to keep these main thorough.
fares leading to and from the city in
this improved condition.
Many compliments have been pass
ed on these highways since the heavy
rains of the week which have made
some of the byways next impossible.
The change from former conditions Is
remarkable. Take for instance the
condition of South Market street near
the M. & st. l.. overhead crossing
near Eleventh avenue. In times Of
wet weather this place was formerly
bad mud hole that was next to i'm
passible. 1t was a clay road that af-
fected animals much as sticky fly.
paper works on insects. This road is
now in better condition than much of
the pavement of the city and could
be travelled afoot during the hardest
of the rains without soiling the shoes
1t is we'll worth while to take a trip
over these roads and note the changes
that have been made by the use Of
cinders.
