COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
Matter of Paving Business Section
Will Occuy Attention Of Club
a: Friday Night Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club will be held on Fri
day evening of this week and much
important business will come up for
consideration. The matter of a per.
manent athletic field for Denison will
be discussed and plans made for its
building.
The matter Of paving eighteen
blocks in the business section of Den
ison will occupy the attention OF the
club. Inasmuch as a majority of prop
erty owners on the streets proposed to
be paved are in favor of the PROPOSE
ton, it is probable that the CONNER
cial club will endorse the petition
which was submitted to the council
Tuesday OF last week. The business
men feel that Denison should make
this improvement and that with the
many new buildings it would only be
fitting that goodly amount Of paw
ing should be done during the year.
1t is hoped that every member of
the club will be in attendance at the
meeting Friday evening and take an
active part in the proceedings.

CITY TAKES THE
ELECTRIC PLANT
Electric Light Plant, Almost Quarter
OF Century Privately Owned,
Is Sold to the City.
CITY AGREES TO PAY see, ,ooo.o 90
Council Should Receive the Support
Of Al Citizens in Making the
Plant a Success.

Denison is on the eve of trying the
experiment of municipal ownership
On Friday the electric light plant
which for almost o quarter of cen
tury has been operated as a private
plant will be taken over by the city
and in the future will be under the
management Of the city. The date
for taking over the plant is fixed in
the contract which was made with
the city in December and the one on
file when the, vote was taken to pur.
chase the plant, and it provided that
the plant shall be turned over to the
city and the price as fixed by the ar
bitrators paid within thirty days af-
ter the report of the arbitrators is
made. a.
The report Of the arbtrat0rs was
received in Denison on March cath
and the time for settlement therefore
came the middle OF last week. When
the time for settlement came the
company appeared before the city
council at it's meeting on Wednesday
evening and made written tender
Of the plant to the city and demanded
payment of the price, which were re-
fused. 1t was the first time In the
history of Denison that the city ever
repudiated its agreement and it is
perhaps unfortunate for it that it did
SO on this occasion.
The contract between the city and
the electric light company which was
entered into fairly on the 18th of De-
cember last at the time when the city
was proceeding to submit the question
of municipal ownership and the pur-
chase Of the plant. provided that If
the vote of the people favored munic-
ipal ownership and the purchase of
the plant that the price of the plant
should be arrived at by the city select
ing one arbitrator and the electric
light company another, asd If unable
to- agree the two thus selected to Sc
lect third.
After the vote was taken, which was
almost unanimously in favor of taking
over the plant, the city promptly alp,
pointed lts trbiHxxtor and In due time
the company did the same. and the
two being unable to agree on the price
OF the plant. the third arbitrator was
selected BY the two previously chosen.
The three parties thus selected to
ascertain the value of the plant spent

SEVERE STORM At scHLEsWlG
Small rwister Moves Residence From
Its Foundation During Storm
Furniture Badly Damaged.

Schleswig. April 27-(Special to Re
view)-A severe storm visited this
place on Sunday and considerable
damage was done by the high wind
which assumed grave proportions at
one time.
A small twister, not unlike cy'
clone, passed over the south part of
town and caused considerable damage
in its path While seemingly of no
consequence it carried sufficient force
to move a cottage occupied by Henry
Wittmach from its foundation. Furni'
ture in the house was tossed about,
causing considerable damage. Out.
buildings and trees were slightly
damaged in the path of the storm.

OPERA HOUSE IS
NEARLY READY
Was Thrown Open for inspection on
Saturday Evening and Hundreds
CT People Admitted.
FINISHING WORK COMPLETED
Workmen Now Busy Getting Ready
fer the New Cement Walks
Massive Electrolcrs.

The new opera house was thrown
open for inspection Saturday evening
and several hundred people had the
pleasure Of seeing the handsome new
building. Practically all the electric
fixtures are in place and all of the
lights were turned on, which lighted
the large auditorium in the best pos
s;b.e manner. Manager Krauth ex-
hibited the scenery and everyone was
delighted with the numerous scenes
and stage settings.
John Kott, who has had tho con
tract for decorating the new building,
has about completed the work and OK
poets to have it finished by the last
of the week The color scheme, as
carried out, is pleasing indeed and
we are surprised that it could be done
in SO short time.
Practically all OF the finishing work
has heen completed and as soon as
the seats are put in place the build.
ing will be about ready for occupancy.
Manager Krauth has not decided just
when the new theater will be opened,
nor has he made a selection OF play
for opening night. We understand
that it may be possible to secure Nat
Goodwin and last week we received
word that it might be possible to book
the comic opera September Morn"
1t may be difficult to secure first
class company to come to Denison
when the opera house is ready for
opening as many Of the good shows
have disbanded already for the sum
meT months.
Workmen are now engaged In tear
Ing up the old cement walk around the
opera house building and getting
things in shape for the new walks.
The massive electroliers have been
purchased. which will be installed In
front OF the building.

tho River to River road boosters
across southern Iowa, and thought
that route would compete for the
transcontinental travel across Iowa.
Many thousands OF dollars have been
raised by citizens living en- this River
to River road and they expect to make
it one Of the best highways across the
state. Mr.. Coan advised that the
death dealing crossing near the Nc
Henry farm be done away with if pos
sible and if necessary to run the road
directly west on Broadway and join
the highway at the Bale farm. In
all the route across Iowa, there are
only two bad crossings, the one at
the McHenry farm and one at G!idden,
where a party Of five we're killed last
year. He thought that arrangements
could be made to run the road north
of the tracks from the sand pit and
thus eliminate these two crossings.
MI. A. n. Pardington delivered the
principal address and talked most in
terestingly about the history of the
Lincoln highway and the manner in
which the road it follows came to be
adopted. 1t was no lottery scheme
that selected the route which has
been adopted as the Lincoln high
way, but it was the, result of patient
study and effort on the part of the
men who head the association. Mr..
Pardlngton was able to give All intel
ligent reason for the selection OF al
most every mile of the highway. He
referred frequently to wall map
hung in the Commercial club room,
showing in detail the path across the
continent of the great memorial high
way AS adopted the present route is
the shortest and most direct from
New York City to San Francisco and
the speaker said that it is the longest
continuous thoroughfare in the world.
When one comes to consider that it
means thoroughfare direct from
New York City to San Francisco and
that for centuries to come 1t will re-
main such q thoroughfare, it is not
difficult to grasp the Importance OF the
work in which these distinguished
men are engaged. Every hotel, every
establishment and the
thousands OF garages located along
this great highway will find substan
tial support from the travel of thous-
ands OF people who will pass over this
route during the year. A lemonade
and ice cream stand at any point OF
the road. whether in town Or in the
country. will be patronized on ac-
count of the travel upon the highway.
Mr., Pardington urged that a hard
surface of permanent character was
desired by the association. 1t is his
opinion that a gravel road we'll built
would be adequate, for the hardest
travel of either horsg drawn Oh motor
driven vehicles. 1t il, 49, comb.nation

Mr.. A. r. Pardington, Secretary Of
Lincoln Highway Association,
and State Consul Coan Here
MA. SWEENEY, OF CARROLL
Mr.. Psrdington Delivers Strong Ad-
dress at Luncheon Given by Bus.
ness Mes at Hotel Oenison.

Saturday was red letter day for
good roads construction in this local
ity. A luncheon was rendered Mr.. A.
r. Pardington. OF Detroit, Mich. sec
retary and vice-president of the Lin.
coin Highway association, and w. F.
Coan, Of Clinton, Iowa, state consul
for Iowa, and a number OF represent
ative citizens attended the luncheon.
which was held ut the Hotel Denison.
There were perhaps thirty or more of
the business men of Denison who ell.
joyed the luncheon at the hotel and
had the pleasure of meeting these two
representative citizens who are back
ing the Lincoln Highway association.
and who are well selected for this i'm
pOrtant work. The affair was most
enjoyable one, and J. " Barborka
added greatly to the occasion by
rendering several harp selections,
which we're thoroughly enjoyed.
After the luncheon at the hotel
large number OF the business men re.
paired to the Commercial club room,
where for two hours they listened to
speeches by the distinguished visit
Ors. Mr.. Sweeney, of Carroll, presi-
dent of the Commercial club at that
place. was selected to preside at the
meeting and introduced the two dis
tinguished visitors. Mr. Coan, of
Clinton, is banker. a representative
citizen of Clinton county, and has
given much time toward the Lincoln
highway and had much to do with hav-
ing the transcontinental line adopted
as the Lincoln highway through Iowa.
Mr.. Ccan addressed the meeting and
gave a brief history of the organiza-
tion of the Transcontinental route
through Iowa and how states to the
east and west of US hooked onto this
route until it was finally established
from coast to coast and greater por-
tion OF 1t was marked with the official
transcontinental marking. Mr.. Coan
spoke highly of w. G. Rollins, secre
tary of the TranscoEtinental route
through Iowa, who has done mucn TO
bring the route to its present high
standard 2S7@4s-t 4s,,-.
Mr.. 'Coan told Of hi: visits TO differ.
cnt points in Illinois and after consid.
cradle effort established the Illinois
Transcontinental route and later that
IN Nebraska. He dwelt at length OH
the efforts that are being made by
