FLOATING Crane
ON NEW DRY
DOCK

One OF the first big jobg to fall to
the lot of the new floating drydock
now under construction for the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company,
will be the raising OF the mammoth
crane, now completed, and the pom
tool supporting the structure now
demanding attention owing to the
heavy accumulation of marine growth
attached to the bottom.
1t has been two years since the pom
toon first dipped the waters of Homo
lulu harbor. During the past eighteen
mouths, the towering structure re-
quired for equipping the crane has
been reared heayenward.
Had the original plans of the local
naval engineers been carried through
to successful conclusion and Pearl
Harbor drydock proved success, il
was planned to enter the floating
crane at The earliest moment with a
view of giving the craft a general
cleaning and repainting.
The destruction of the dock caused
the naval officials to turn to the
Inter-Island company with the result
that arrangements are now underway
whereby the crane will be raised just
as soon as the drydock is ready for
service.
An increased force of men has
been put to work on the structure
with a view to a somewhat earlier
completion. The tall sides of the
dock have been assembled and gangs
of riveters armed with pneumatic ma
chimes swarm the superstructure, Gre
ating din that is deafening.
The pontoons are in place and there
is now sufficient area to accommodate
steamships of tonnage of the Sierra
or the Wilhelminat :.
Practically all freight carrying
steamers which usually make Homo
can be accommodated on the new
dock when completed. With the addi-
ton of few more pontoons the
structure can be increased in capacity
to take vessels Of the size of the Man
churia or the Korea.

sighting the boys, but met with the same heartbreaking failure.
 As soon as the people of the town began inquiring about the boys it developed that they had been. seen on the road and had stopped at the road commission camp at the seven pines, and the wires were soon hot asking for information.
 Goldie, the greatest musher in these parts, and perhaps the on- ly man who could have overtak- en the boys, started out in the auto, but found it was too slow, so he left the auto and in his Seven- league boots made after the youngsters, caught them on the other side of Sheep creek and soon brought them to a realiZa- tiun of the fact that they must return to Valdez. Goldie is very likely the only man who could have done that.
 The boys will be in this even- ing and the chances are very good that the birch will ! be brought into play.

SOME IOWA FARM ESTIMATES.
Lands That Have Sold High Will Yet
Go Higher.

Two big farms in Palo Alto county
changed hands last month. The price
of one comprising $40 acres was
$117,500, while an S00-acre farm
brought $4,000. 1t has been the
rule that the big farms brought COM
paratively lower prices, while a
smaller farm with valuable improve
ments sometimes seemed to indicate
fancy figures when giving the price
per acre. But in these big farms
the improvements are a matter OF
minor Importance, and the very fair
prices realized in these cases surely
demonstrate that there is nothing
the matter with the Iowa market
that nobody is afraid, and that
prices are still going up. The best
judges are of the opinion that these
two large farms went at compare
lively low figures and will be rated
at better than 5000 per acre in a
short time. And as to what is going
to happen a few years further along,
and as to how the prices Of 1943 will
compare with the prices of 1913,
they are unable to say. For they are
not engaged in any guessing game,
but are keeping very busy selling
Iowa real estate, which is about the
best thing to be found out of doors
anywhere on this planet. They know
that prices are going much higher
than they are today. But they are
not concerned with the remote fu-
ture, and are satisfied with the pres
ent conditions and the outlook for
tomorrow.

We Shall Have Corn.

Well it r2ined; rained good
soaking shower. Cloudy weather
holds with the promise of more rain.
The patron saints of Iowa have come
across, little late perhaps as we see
it, but in time to make corn no
doubt No doubt? Yes. Because
Iowa invariably does have corn, lots
of corn and the cattle are invariably
fed and the hogs fatten in the feed
lots. What has been, is and will be.
We shall have corn.
And we shall have fall pastures
and the moistening of the earth
which we demand for a good crop
next year and the streams be fuller
and the water rise in the wells. Some
there may be who can remember
"away back in the summer of some
time or other the rain failed and arid
weather worked it's will of the crops;
but if there be such their testimony
merely proves the rule that it rains
in Iowa when we need it and that
crops mature and fertility has it's
chance That's Iowa. Rain is one of
her assured blessings.
And how good it is after long
dry spell to see the fields freshened
and the water lie along the roadWays.
After a. time of unceasing sunshine
and warm winds and dust and dried
pastures and curling cornfields, after
nights that settle like a warm blan-
'ket over the earth and bring a sense
of suffocation instead of cooling
breezes, when cts trying hard to
rain and can't" when every cloud in
the sky is signal of promise and
hope, what relief a strong steady rain
fall brings How we turn in the
night to hear it's swift finger tips at
the panes and fall asleep in graft
tude and sense of security.
And so it came last night, herald
ed with boisterous thunder, signalled
by CLEANS of dazzling lightning,
dashing at the windows, whispering
in the grass and pattering through
the trees and on the roofs. So it went
ripping over the cornfields which
lifted and rustled leaves in answer,
SO it sheeted across the meadow land
and threw it's drops thick and fast
upon the thirsty pastures. And in
the morning the pavements glistened,
washed clean like schoolboy's face
at school time and the dirt roads
were rugged with early wheel tracks
and men passing to. their labor were
thankful in the knowledge that the
drouth was broken and that rain had
come in time of need.
We shall have corn in Iowa. We
always do. We worry because that
is about the only thing Iowans have
to worry about and the luxury Of
worry is not to be completely denied
us. But we have corn because it al
ways rains in Iowa when the time
comes-Marshallt Times-Repub-
lican.

CONVICTS ON MANY ROADS.
Various States Find Building Cheap
er and Men Much Benefited.

The plan of employing convicts in
road making seems likely to become
general among the states. 1t used to
be regarded as an experiment fraught
with so many difficulties as to make
it of doubtful practibility. But that
stage has been passed and it has been
demonstrated that the prisoners can
be thus employed with profit both to
them and the public. State after
state is falling in line, after noting
the results accomplished by others.
Kentucky's road commissioner, for
example, has looked over the field
and recommended that his state start
it able bodied short term convicts to
work in this way, confident OF max
ing it a success. Alabama's high
way commissioner declares that prop
erly managed convict labor on the
roads is more effective that paid Ia
Dor, and that it costs forty to sixty
five cents a day. Georgia employs
five thousand convicts on the roads
at cost of one-half that of paid la
Dor. California has started out with
the system and is pleased with it.
Colorado has built more than one
hundred miles of road the last year
at cost of thirty-twO cents day to
the man. Kansas is also trying 1t
with good results and Louisiana built
twenty-five miles of hard roads last
year at an expense of forty cents a
day to the man.
Michigan, Minnesota and Montana
are other states that employ prison
labor in the same way with success.
North Carolina has 1890 convicts
making roads at cost of forty-two
to seventy-two cents day. The sue
cess of New Jersey Ill the same way
has been noted, while Oregon, Vir-
ginia and Washington are making ef-
forts in the same way with good re-
suits.
Cole county, Missouri, has had
from twenty to forty convicts at work
on roads and the state highway en-
gineer testifies that the work, at a
daily cost of forty cents, is equal to
that of free labor. -,
Illinois at present has consider
able number of convicts employed in
crushing stone for hard road con-
struction, but under the new law
many short term men are likely to be
employed on the roads.
A most encouraging feature OF the
case is that the health, morals and
contentment of the convicts are much
improved under this class of work. 1t
seems to afford solution of the vex-
ed question of how to employ con-

Iowa School for the Deaf.
Gree to all persons under the age of
thirty-five years in Iowa.
Council Rluffs Iowa

free to all persons under the age of
thirty-five years in Iowa.
Council Bluffs, Iowa.
To Parents, Friends, Guardians
and Pupils:
Notice is hereby given that the
next term of school will commence
September 10th, 1913, and it is ex-
pected that all pupils will be present
on that day.
Officers of the institution will meet
all trains on arrival, September 10th
and 18th. After these dates, pupils
must not expect to be called for un-
less same can be done without detri-
ment to other requirements.
Street Railway-The Omaha, Coun-
Gil Bluffs & Interurban Railway Com
pany passes every R. r. depot in the
city of Council Bluffs, and by taking
the Iowa scholl for the dear cars easy
access to the school is obtained.
Assurance-There need be no hest
fancy whatever on the part OF par
ents in returning their children, the
management conscientiously giving
assurance that the arrangements
are complete, and conveniences
ample as to afford their children a
safe and comfortable sojourn under
the supervision of kind and careful
officers and teachers.
Vaccination-It is earnestly sug-
gested that children be vaccinated be-
fore leaving home. In that case a
note advising the superintendent OF
the fact should be sent by mail. Par
ents are unmindful of their duties to
the child and to the school if they
neglect this precaution.
Arrival-ParentS need have no
fear as to the care of, or attention to-
their children after they reach the
railroad depots at Council Bluffs, if
they arrive on the dates named above.
Welcome-Parents and friends are
| sincerely welcome when accompany
ing the children and visiting tho
school, but they cannot be entertain
ed either as to lodging or meals.
Notice-A postal card notifying
each parent or friend of the sale ar
rival of the child will be issued i'm.
mediately after the registry of name.
Trunks-All trunks or baggage
should be checked to Local Depot,
Councn Bluffs. This is imperative to
avoid trouble and delay. Please bear
this in mind.
Promptness-Prom as IT,
date of return is urgently necessary
| DO not think it will be as we'll to send
the child a day, week or a month
later. 1t is an injustice to the school,
unfair to prompt scholars, and deuri-
mental to the tardy pupils. Sickness
can only be considered a legitimate
excuse for delay
Interest-Every parent or friend
interested in one of our children
should be interested in all the deaf
persons of school age in the state
and are therefore requested to give
this notice the widest circulation and
greatest publicity possible.
Hopes-Hoping for prosperous
year, and ready at all times to an
swer any and all communications
l remain,
Truly yours,
| Henry w. Rothert,
| ---.g..-.- - Superintendent
