the west branch of the Des Moines
river, was discovered by Captain

her ]. 1914, Captain Allen made the
following entry III his diary:
Il continued to follow up the Des
Moines, passing over high prairie
hills for 10 or u miles, until from a
principal eminence, saw a large
grove of timber, u or II miles off;
marched for it, and found It to be
the timber Of .arge irregular lake
from which the river flowed in a
good sized outlet OF deep water and
muddy banks; the lake is about sin
miles long. but al first resembles 2
series of small lakes, because Of
long crooked points of heavily tim
bered land running into it in all d.

MANY AnLE LAWYERS CONCUR.


From address to alumni of State
University Of Iowa The state board
of education does not in its repor,
discuss the question OF The legality
of the removal Of the college of ap-
piled sciences from the university, a
question that lies in the very fore
front OF the plan and on which one
Of the most eminent lawyers in Amer
lea has given his unqualified opinion
opposed to the sight of removal claim
8 ed by the board. We refer to Hon.
Frederick ". Lehman OF st. Louis
late president of the American Bar
association and solicitor general or
the United States, whose opinion is
given In full In the pamphlet issued
by the alumni. AS Mr. Lehman vel,
points out, If the board may remove
one great department it may remove
others, the provision of the constitu-
ton hat The state university shall
be located at one place without
branches in any other place. will be
rendered null and void and of no eff
feet and the efficiency of the univer-
sfty destroyed. Not only so, but here
will also be violated the So years CT
legislative and popular construction
that has defined the functions of the
university and indicated its scope.
Strikingly Illustrative of this is the
action OF the legislature in 1904 when
an attempt was made to remove en-
cheering from the university. The
attempt was defeated and an appro-
priation Of $4,000 made for engineer
ing, with the following comment by
the committee recommending the APP
preparation; Under the grant of land
to the university and the laws estap-
fishing the same, it was cont smplated
the establishment of a great uniyer-
sity and to take from it one of the
most useful depart ments would be In
violation of the spirit and intent of
the fundamental laws creating the
same.

fel and Aileen Heppner we're arragned
before Judge Brentano for trial on a
charge of conspiracy to defame the
character Of Clarence S, Funk. Mr..
Funk. who at the time was general
manager Of the International Har-
vester company, vas a principal wit
ness in the investigation that resulted
in the expulsion of William Lorimer
from the United States senate on
charges that Mis- election had been &C
complished by fraud. When the in
vestigation was at its height the hus-
band of the Heppner woman brought
suit against Mr.. Fund for alleged
alienation of his wife's affections. Mr..
Funk claimed that he had never seen
the woman and that the charge was
trumped up to influence public senti-
tment in the Lorimer a When the
alienation suit came to trial it fell

an attorney, Stiefel, the head of a
private detective agency, and the
Heppner woman were indicted on

northwest, is now enroute to Mexico
on a peace mission, im%perturbable to
all that has gone on about him in the
past and likely to continue imper-
turbable to all that may 90 on about
him in the near future. If he were
going to Mexico as a well.wisher Of
the Huerta government, his mission
might be regarded as a junket. In
stead, he is delegated to bring about
peace by asking every partisan in
Mexico to give up his place, whether
that be as president of the republic
Of Mexico or as Watercarrier in the
rear ranks of the constitutionalist
army in the chaparral along the Rio
Grande. The possibilities of the I'm.
dertaking are great.
Nelson and Lind Rivals.
John Lind and Senator Knute Mel
son have been political rivals for
years, among the Scandinavian peo-
pie. AS long as Lind stayed in the
republican party, which he did up to
1896. there never was a democrat
who had a chance to win in Mime
sofa against the Lind-Nelson combin-
alton. Lind himself was the first to
break it in 1899 when he became the
first democratic governor of Mime
beat him for reelection, and when
the democrats nominated Lind again
in 1910, he went off to the Pacific
coast and never opened his head for
weeks. When. he did, he said. no."
and Nelson showed another one Of
his people, Gov. Eberhardt, into the
governors. chair. Just before that.
however Lind had %"countered" on
Nelson with John A. Johnson. With

Mo- WORD from Lind Vet.

Up to a late hour the administra-
ton at Washington had received no
dispatches from Lind, but informa-
ton is likely to come at any moment
now. The officials at Washington are
confident that Huerta will accept the
advice of Wilson and order an imme-
diate election, Huerta not to be a
candidate nor interfere with its re-
suits.
Without Inside Knowledge.
The Washington administration is
without actual inside knowledge and
should war follow it will not come
through the initiative Of Wilson or
Bryan. Neither will there be per-
mission accorded to either side -
get arms or ammunition from this
country.
War Would Unite Mexico.
Many in Mexico feel that the only
way to unite the several factions is
to have war with the United States
and thus bring about the conflict first
as at last.
War Would Last Years.
President Wilson and the senate
know that war with Mexico would
last for at least three years and would
cost the loss of thousands of Ameri.
can lives and millions in money. Ad-
ded to this it would take twenty years
In policing the acquired country, and
1t would raise International questions
Of worldwide significance.
Sitting on a Magazine.
Meanwhile the administration is sit
ting on a magazine which a Mexican
spark may suddenly explode. Much
depends on the results to .ba accom-
plished in the mission Of Lind.
