Looker-On In Iona

Iowa Falls. March oS.--This town has
commercial club that does things,
ana also trys 10 prevent some things
beng done. For instance, it is under
stood the c. r. I. & P. railroad is pro-
posing TO remove the old depot on the
shotr line down to the junction of the
short line and the main line from Cedar
Rapids, and use it as "a union depot
AS this depot was none too large for
the use of the short line traffic, and
when moved this union depot" will be
at least half a mile further away from
the business part of town, the citizens
here propose TO take the matter up
with the railroad commissioners.
For some reason this town is sure OF
a building boom the coming spring and
summer. First, the city will put in
forty two blocks of paving. A very nee
esary part of this work will be from
Rock Run to College avenue. The $780,
600 federal building is an assured fact
and new big school house more than
probable. \ new Episcopal church,
built IN the English mission style is
also certain to be added to the church
buildings of the city. And it is known
a proposition has been made to pay
500 a month for another moving pic
ture show building, if the building is
changed to suit the business.
AS a result of the erection Of the
Washington street bridge last year,
sixty-nine residence lots were sold west
of town and seven residences built las,
season. Fifteen 70 twenty more will be
added this season.
lr-C three
small store buildings are to be torn
down and fine business block erected.
\ crowd of travelling men in hotel
were discussing the railroad accomnlo-
datiors. When not otherwise engaged
travelling men find hotels and railroads
interesting subjects for discussion
some would say for cussing. And for
the benefit OF some Of the railroad COM
panies that have put on steel passen-
ger cars they should know these
knights Of the grip are using these
cars whenever possible. Several spoke
of always now picking out stee! cars
when going to Chicago. This is men
toned to give the railroad men the
fact such cars and trains are taklns
away traffic NATURALLY belonging to o'h-
CT railroads.
