COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March
23-Just a year ago this evening on
Easter Sunday eve, while the good
people of Council Bluffs and surround

rush and a whoop a tornado swept
down from the southwest and in fir
teen minutes more than 100 lives had
been snuffed out in this city and
Omaha and property damage running
far into the millions OF dollars had
been done.
It was a night of agony for the
living, for the telephone wires were
down, destroyed by the two storms
which hit this section at the same
time Street cars were blocked.
streets filled with debris, and the
cities and towns in darkness.
Hospitals were filed and in many
instances it was months before the
manned and crippled victims were
their ruined homes. Many others
were cared for in private homes. over
a score Of victims died in the two
cities from injuries during the weeks
that followed.
The succeeding year has been busy
In the work Of reconstruction. Nearly
every damaged building has been re-
paired or rebuilt. New homes have
in many cases been built better than
the ones destroyed.
People who never before knew mis-
fortune have helped Loyalty at the
work of rebuilding. Few physical
signs remain of the storm, but it will
be years before it has been wiped
from the memory of the living.

illinois SHOOTERS Protecting to Game
Wradens over This Alleged
Violation Of Law.

number Of fragrant violations of the
federal game laws which have been
drawn to their notice lately, says the
lily forbids spring shooting of ducks
but apparently this is having no eff
feet on large number Of gunner
in this vicinity Not only have some
complaints come in regarding spring
shooting of ducks but hunters have
been shooting them over or upon this
water also, most OF these violations
being reported from points above this
city. The Illinois side Of the river
has BEEN adequately taken care OF as
there are enough game wardens to
cover the ground pretty thoroughly
and this is likewise the case in Mis-
souri,, but In Iowa but two men are
in chargs of the entire field
The Illinois sportsmen have been
very bitter in their denunciation OF
the methods employed by the war
dens in not making the gunnsrs from
this side of the river obey the law
the same as the Illinois wardens do
and a complaint was recently sent in
to the government authorities by
Deputy Game Warden Clarke of
Quincy. The following answer was
received which will be of interest to
local sportsmen:
elm reply l beg to state that we
appreciate the position you are placed
in, but desire to assure you that the
department is doing it's utmost to en-
force the federal law as far as pos
sible. We have force of federal
wardens in Missouri but up to this
time have been able to secure only
two federal wardens in the state OF
Iowa, but the governor has been
asked to recommend four additional
men for appointment as such. It is
impossible to have a force OF wardehs
sufficient to cover the entire country,
and thers is bound to be more or. less
violation Of the law this spring. II
you observe violations of the federal
law, it will be your duty to report such
cases to the department by givins
the name, address, data of violation,
and the nature Of the violation. to-.
gether with any other Information
which you may deem advisable in
order to make a good case against
the offender"

1t was then that the construction OF under

Our persistent study and incessant experimental

Underground conversation is now possible be-
