GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT
Commercial Club and Citizens to
Cooperate With Supervisors.

A movement is on foot to supple
ment the work of the board of SUI
pervisors in the department of good
roads. or course the real work and
centers with that board
under the present road laws, and
there is no disposition on the part
OF any one to have 1t otherwise. The
only thought is, in any supplemental
action that may be taken, to aid and
cooperate with the county. board in
the interest of better highways all
over Mahaska county. ....
The informal conferences that have
been held think favorably of making
this supplemental highway improve
ment undertaking a department Of
the Commercial Club. There has
not been a meeting of the CONNER
cial Club board as yet to pass upon
this suggestion. If this is done, any
funds gathered for highway improve
Nment, ii is suggested, would be made
a special fund for that specific pur-
pose, and not subject to other use.
1t is argued that central bureau
for the gathering and filing in perm
anent and available form, good roads
information, the experience of other
counties and the like, would be ad.
visable, and generally beneficial to
the improved highway propaganda.

No Effect on NavIoation.

Keokuk, Dec. 6.--Tests conducted
by the engineers of the war depart
ment to determine the effect of the
dam at Keokuk on navigation show
that the effect is negligible.
Waves we're created by the engin-
GERS by opening and closing the gates
in the big monolith in manner
which would not occur during the
operation of the dam.
The waves diminished as they went
down the river, according to Maj. M.
Meigs, and their force was lost at
Canton, ,twenty-four miles distant in
some instances and Quincy, forty
miles distant, was the farthest the in
fiuence extended. '' lr '.
1t was found that a two foot wave
at the dam became a four inch one
at Quincy. -.
This is proof, it is held, that the
dam is not affecting navigation on
the river as has been claimed by
steamboat men. Some of the dis
turbances generated by the testing
engineers were lost by the time the
bridge at Keokuk was reached.

Who Wants a School House9

Webster City, Iowa, Dec. 6--Anyone
in need of school house can buy
one at reduced prices next Monday
morning of County Treasurer, F. d.
Hamilton. Mr.. Hamilton has fine
assortment on hand; in fact his stock
includes the three best school houses
in Hamilton county ,s..' ~.
They are being offered for sale be-
cause the school district has failed to
pay the taxes on them. They were Of
fered at the regular tax sale, but there
were no bidders, and now, to comply
with the law, Treasurer Hamilton will
again offer them for sale Monday.
The three school properties which
Mr.. Hamilton will put upon the block
to the highest bidder, are located in
Webster City. One of them, the new
Lincoln high school building, is a
brand new $4,000 structure. The 9TH
er two are the central grade building
and the central primary building.
The three properties are well worth
above 100000 and are being offered
for sale to satisfy paving and gutter
tax of but $1,343.14, which the dis
Itrict has not money at this time to
meet.
These buildings are all modern in
every respect and would certain
lily make the finest kind of homes for
any family of Rooseveltian proper
tions. ...a.
OF course the buyer will not get title
for three years, and in the meantime
the district may possibly redeem the
buildings. But even II 1t does, the
buyer will get good interest on his
money.
In any event, Hamilton county needs
its tax money, the school district Is
too poor to pay and If anybody wants
modern castle for home, he should
be suited with a choice of three out
of Webster City's five school build
ings.

A PRACTICAL SCHOOL
Special Winter Term For the Older
Boys in Jefferson Township.

Enterprise and progressiveness OF
Mahaska County rural folk has again
asserted itself in practical manner.
This time it is the good people of
Jefferson township, who have taken
the lead and inaugurated special
winter school for the older boys OF
the community, who have either drop
ped out of school or have graduated
but desire to further their education
along practical lines during the win
ter months, under the supervision and
direction of a competent agricultural
school graduate who will teach ordi-
nary branches and business training
as well as agricultural and stock and
corn judging. This new venture is
one of the latest as we'll as one of the
most practical and beneficial ever
promulgated by the agricultural
school at Ames, and Jefferson town
ship is certainly to be congratulated
for taking the initial step in most
recent advancement with such enthus-
iasm and zeal as has been shown by
the people of that community. The
township board OF Jefferson township
decided to inaugurate the special
school at a meeting last Tuesday eve
ming and the old White City school
house is to be fitted up for the home
of the new school. Monday, Dec. Is,
Is to be the opening day of the school
and the board has secured as instruc.
or, Mr.. Glen Richards, of lie Grande,
a graduate of the State Agricultural
School at Ames, and an expert along
agricultural and practical lines. Mr..
Richards last year won the state prize
in stock judging, over all competitors,
and he is even now a national licensed
poultry show Judge. He Is acting this
week as Judge at a big poultry show
in South Dakota. Mr.. Richards Is
most enthusiastic over the prospects
for a successful school in Jefferson,
and the school board could hardly
have found better person to take
charge of the new venture.
The institution of the new school
was first suggested to the people OF
jefferson township at the township
school meeting a couple of weeks
ago, by Miss Kate Logan, of the ex-
tension department at Ames, and Miss
Elizabeth Sheahan, county superin-
vi SCuOOlS. HO
and zeal with which the people of
that community Immediately took hold
of the idea was really remarkable,
and it was not long until the estab-
lishment of the new school was as
sured. 1t is expected that between
twenty and thirty boys between the
ages of IA and 20, will enroll for work
in the special school, ana all are en-
thusiastic over the idea. A large pro
portion of these young men have al
ready taken work in high school or
college and it would indeed be diff
cult to find a more ambitious and in
telligent lot of young fellows than
those who will take work in the JEFF
ferson township special school. The
township board and people responsible
for the establishment OF this great
project are certainly to be congratu.
lated for their enterprise and interest
in the education and welfare of the
young men in their community.

care of the Council Of Jewish Women
of New York, who have paid workers
to look after such matters. She was
given the necessary advice and di
rection, and started upon her journey
to Oskaloosa where she was to join
her father. Mr.. N. Handler, of South
d. street was named as resident
friend of Mr.. Zucherman. The girl
arrived here all right, but just before
her arrival her father had gone to
Osceola to accept a better business
offer and had left instructions for his
daughter to follow him. The girl did
as she was advised and Is now pleas
