Pictures of Lake.

n. NJ. O'Connor has in the show
window of Hanrahan & OConnor
two small kodak pictures OF Wall
Lake which were taken last Thurs
day at the lake when the protest
meeting was held there. The pict-
ures are quite distinct and were TAX
en- with the idea of giving the peo-
pie of this city who have not had
the opportunity of seeing the lake
n chance to decide for themselves
what II looks like. The pictures
were taken from the boat landing
in front of the Webster City hunting
club house. Quite number of picy-
ures were taken by sportsmen from
over the state and will no doubt be
used in evidence when the real
trouble starts over drainage.

UNDERGROUND CROSS
INCS ARE PROPOSED
Under the Chicago & Northwestern
Road on Bank and Second
Streets.

There has been more or less talk
safeguard on the crossing on Second
street and on Bank street across the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
Some of the business men have even
gone so far as to go to each crossing
and make examinations TO find out
if there is possibility of making
underground viaducts for vehicles. 1t
was easily seen that there was room
aud the matter will probably soon be
taken up with the city council and
that body asked to take up the Ques-
ton with the railroad. While there
have been few accidents on these
crossings, there is always the proba-
bility of accidents in which one or
more lives may be lost, and the cost
of underground viaducts would be
small. Not more than a few weeks
ago the governor of Illinois called
representatives of all the railroads
in that state together in Chicago and
took up with them the matter Of
placing overhead or underground
viaduCts over or under every cross
ing in that state which now has no
such safeguard. If state like MI
nois will attempt to protect the lives
of the people out in the country in
sparsely populated districts would it
not be well for this city to do all
in its power to protect the lives of
from six to seven thousand within
It's limits, and also give the farmers
Of the surrounding community more
protection while coming into town?

MAY BUILD HOUSES
IN WEBSTER CITY
Northwestern Realty Company o:
Minneapolis Considering OPP
portunities Here.

1t is rumored that one of the larg-
est realty companies in the north
west intends to start building houses
to rent and sell on the installment
plan, in this city. The company
about which this rumor started is
the Northwestern Realty Company OF
Minneapolis. One Of their men was
in the city today and stated that
the company were contemplating
building in this city and the pros
poets might be looked over in a few
days. If this rumor would prove
true it would without doubt be {
good thing for this city. Every one
in the city, while boosting for ter
thousand in 1915, must take into
consideration that the city is under
great handicap if the houses are
not available for people who wish tc
move here. One of the officers of the
Webster City improvement company,
when told of the rumor, stated that
in his opinion it would prove a great
thing for the city and that there was
room in Webster City for several
more companies of this kind With
the scarcity of houses, which for the
past few years has been evident, il
might prove beneficial not only &c
the Realty company, but to everyone
concerned.

DO AUTOS BOOST THE
RURAL CHURCHES?
A Question That is Being Discussed
by Observation-Disclosures
of Opinion.

Not few ministers, some in Web
ster City and Hamilton county, have
expressed fear that the automobile
would seriously affect church attend
ance, as owners would be lured away
from the house OF worship by taking
advantage Of fine Sunday to make
a drive. Rev. II. P. Chaffee of the
Baptist church of Iowa City has
been making some Investigations
and expresses the opinion that auto.
mobiles help rather than hinder
church attendance. Rev. Chaffee
bases his conclusions upon facts
which he has collected. Part of the
material for the survey of rural
church conditions was obtained from
a questionaire conducted in Johnson
county by William \. Hunt, who
prepared thesis on the rural
church.
Forty-three of the forty-nine
churches in Johnson county are out
side of Iowa City, and from the for
ty-three churches it was found that
thirty-two ministers answered that
the autom obile did not hurt church
attendance.
Only eight stated unqualifiedly
that the auto hindered the churches.
Three were notwithstanding
that the automobiles probably did
not impair the church attendance,
although they were not sure.
In these rural churches the an
swers indicated that the ministers
estimated 10 per cent OF their par
ishioners owned automobiles so that
