canoe tipped to one side, throwing the
men into the water AS the canoe
tipped it became partially filled with
water, and one of the party, upon COM
ing up, grasped the outrigger, which
sank under his weight and completely
swamped the canoe The breakers in
the vicinity were running in with con-
siderable force at the time, but as all
three were excellent swimmers they
had little difficulty iE keeping the
swamped canoe under control. AS the
water was too deep to permit them
to stand ON the bottom and empty the
canoe, they decided to swim with it
until they had passed the reef and
gotten into shallow water.
Swimming to the reef with the
heavy canoe filled with water took
nearly an hour, and when the barrier
was finally reached the men were al
most exhausted, especially Warren,
who weighs something like 230
pounds. A great, breaker coming
along at the time swept the men and
the canoe over the reef. BY miracle
they escaped being severely cut and
bruised on the ragged coral. After
passing the reef the men found 1t al
most impossible to make any Roadway
with the canoe against the current
and the strong wind which was blow
ing toward the open sea. Two of the
men became slightly affected with
cramps and, their position grew more
serious as the time passed. The dan
ger which confronted them lay not
only in the presence of sharks, but in
the current which drifted them toward
the sea.
The plight of the party was seen
by Allister Ross and R. Crichton, who
reside at Cassidy's. and who were
swimming off the end of the long pier.
They entered a small canvas canoe
and put out in the direction OF the
smamped canoe and the exhausted
fishermen. When they arrived on the
scene, it was decided to put Warren.
who was at that time too exhausted
to swim, into the canvas canoe in or
der that he might be taken to shore
at once Hayward and Nelson decided
that they would remain with the
canoe until they could get it to shall
low water AS they helped Warren
into the canoe something went amiss
and the canvas canoe, with its two
occupants, tipped over. Ross and
CrichtOn were then forced to swim
with the canoe back to shore. dump
the water out, and return. while Hay
ward and Nelson supported Warren
as best they could. When the res
cuers returned Warren was placed in
the canoe and taken to shore. In the
meantime, the swamped canoe had
drifted toward the sea, and Hayward
and Nelson, bucking against the in
coming breakers, swan out after 1t
and after half an hours work got it
in to- what remains of the wreck of the
Helga. Climbing upon the wreckage.
they dragged the canoe after them,
dumped out the water, and proceeded
shoreward. The three men were at
work this morning as usual, little the
worse for their experience.
After the canoe had swamped, our
greatest fear was that perhaps shark
or two was prowling around said one
of the party. "Outside of that, and
the possibility of our drifting out to
sea with the current and wind. there
was little danger, as we can all swim.

to farmers of the county. This crop
expert has published an article IN the
Muscatine press in which he gives
some valuable information as to the
crop growing acreage OIL the county,
the production of each crop, the aver
age price and a comparison with the
net returns to the farmer of that coun-
ty as compared with net profits yield
ed by land in other counties and other
states. He shows instances where
the net profits per acre were below the
renting price of the land per acre. He
gives valuable information as to the
profits made on certain crops In other
states which can be but are net grown

= The legislature is turning it's atten-
ton to the methods of government OF
Iowa counties. A uniform accounting
system affecting cities and towns has
been in force for some time. 1t is
row proposed that the state shall en-
force a system giving uniformity to
the system of keeping county &C
counts. This question Is worthy of
serious consideration in the legisla-
ture. Too little attention has been
paid to county expenditures, although
a large part of the tax money Is ex-
pended by county boards.

AID FOR IOWA MANUFACTURER.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye has
some excellent suggestions as to leg
islation that will promote Iowa
manufacturing industries. The com
mittee on manufactures of the Iowa
senate has invited suggestions as to
what the legislature should do to help
home manufacturing institutions and
to induce those now located here to
establish themselves within our state
The idea Of the committee Is that
Il is only by combining our agricul'
tural resources with our unQues'
toned facilities for manufactures
that we can reach our highest and
best development The Hawk-Eye
raises the following points:
l. The legislature should be care
full to avoid undue taxation, and laws
obstructive to the development OF
new industries and the growth OF
those already established. 1t does
not necessarily follow that as to tax
alton 1t shall mean exemption or dis
elimination, but that pains shall be
taken that no unnecessary burdens
are imposed by the state on Iowa in
dustries. g...- ,..
2. Some of the pending proposi.
tions before the general assembly re.
garding employers liability and com
pensation for accidents, If adopted,
will be staggering blow, not only
at existing manufactures in Iowa,
but also those outside that might
seek location in the state. Care is
needed that in the zeal to effect one
reform, another Is not injured. In
legislation, all the interests to be az
fe.ted by new laws should be taken
into account. u....
3. Practical manufacturers are
agreed there are three other essen
til things for success in Iowa in com
petition with large and long estab-
fisher manufacturing industries in
the east. They are: (a) cheap power;
M adequate transportation faclll-
ties: (c) favoring freight rates.
The Hawk-Eye believes that condi-
tions are now changing SO that Iowa
with its abundance of cheap coal and
its numerous water courses capable
of being utilized by hydro-electric
mower. can compete with any state
In supplying all the power needed at
the lowest initial cost. THE people
and the towns within the power zone
OF the great Mississippi river dam at
Keokuk,' the Hawk-Eye says, ARE
awakening to a realization OF this
fact. There will be no cheaper power
for manufactures and transportation
west Of the great electric plant at
Niagara Falls than that which will
be furnished at Keokuk to tribu-
tary territory of a radius of 100
miles. Burlington and other towns in
that zone are taking steps to reap
the great benefit that may be expect
ed from this new factor in Iowa in
dustrial development. Similar condi-
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1913-02-04

tons can be created all over the state
of Iowa by Harvesting the water
courses that thread the state. The
legislature ought to take steps tnat
will encourage the development OF
these sources of power wherever
practical"
The Hawk.Eye believes that the
development of this power, with 9th
err friendly legislation, will place
Iowa almost instantly in the focus
of the great industrial movement that
is about to take place, flowing from
the east into the heart of the upper
Mississippi valley. 1t offers to manu-
facturers not only the most favor
able conditions of production, but the
best market in the United States.

One Of the speakers at a meeting
of the Iowa Beef Producers associa-
ton in Des Moines the other day
asserted his belief that general
turning to beef production would do
much to keep the farmer lads on the
farms. Beef production. he said, re-
quires but little labor and for that
reason proves more attractive than
straight grain raising.

RIGHT KIND OF COOPERATION.

RIGHT KIND OF COOPERATION
Six hundred representative citizens
OF Illinois held q joint meeting with
the members of the Illinois legisla'
ture at Springfield yesterday to ais
cuss proposed legislation. They rep
resented the banks, the manufacturers,
commercial associations, improve
ment associations, good roads organlz'
atoms. farmers Institutes, the llllonls
Federation of Labor, tn 7tate grange
and the automobile manufacturers and
owners. That the meeting bore good
fruits is indicated by the following
program for united work in the leg1s-
lature agreed upon:
l. State and federal aid in good
roads building in Illinois, with an ultl-
mate expenditure of 100000.
2. Eventual improvement OF 20 per
cent Of Illinois $4,000 miles OF mud
roads, accommodating 80 per cent OF
traf1ic, and saving $3O,000,OO0 annually
to Illinois farmers.
3. Utilization of the inmates OF
penal institutions of the state in pre-
pairing paving material for permanent
roads.
/. Cooperation between bankers,
manufacturers, farmers, educators,
transportation agencies and workers
to the end that better understanding
may be fostered among all classes.
5. Vocational education for youths
of the state, along the lines laid down
by Edwin G.. Cooley, former superln'
tendent of the Chicago schools, who
has spent year in studying the voca-
tional school system of Europe.
6. A statewide and unified effort
on the part of reform associations to
adapt the education of the young, both
in the crowded city and the farming
districts, to the changed conditions In
this country, particularly with the idea
Of eliminating present temptations
that confront the youths in the city
and lead to lives of crime.
Illinois seems to be proceeding along
the right lines. First the business
and civic organizations Of the state
got together and decided what they
wanted in the way Of legislation. Then
they organized to advance this legisla-
ton and invited the members Of the
legislature into meeting for an open
discussion Of the program. The fact
that the legislature Joined in such a
meeting Is an indication that Illinois
hasn't the same sort Of legislature
this year that it has had in recent
years. r-@@ .E-
