FUR BRIDGE WORK
Members After Inspection
Want Construction at Third
Street fastened
FOUNDATIONS MUST
BE READY BY SEPT. Is

Members of the Levy Court. follow
ing their meeting yesterday, visited
Third street bridge and inspected the
progress of the work on the APP
proaches and the substructure there.
Members of the court did not con-
ceal the fact that they are far from
satisfied with the progress of the
bridge building operation, and the OBJ
ject of their visit and inspection was
to impress upon the contractor and
his assistants that the work on foun-
dations and approaches will have to
be "speeded up" so that the bridge
can be completed before next year.
II is understood the steel work has
been made up and is ready for ship
ment. but il cannot be placed in posi-
ton until after the foundation piers
are constructed.
The Atlas Bridge Company has the
contract for the substructure and
James Vincent is to furnish the SUI
perstructure or bridge proper, of the
lift type.
Under the contract as awarded
originally, the Atlas Bridge Company
was to have finished the substructure
work by July /, with a heavy penalty
for each day beyond that time it re
mained unfinished When litigation
arose over the use of Christiana Parl
for the bridge approach, which held
up the Atlas Bridge Company, the
Levy Court granted the company al
extension until September Is to fnisl
the substructure contract.
Members Of the Levy Court feai
the work may not be finished by tha
time. but they made It clear YESTERDAY
afternoon that they expect the sub
structure to be ready then for th'
erection of the steel bridge to begil
or they will collect the $1,000 da.
penalty for the county.

UNCLE SANS MEN UNPAID.

Employees of the local customs Of
fee as we'll as all other employees Of
Uncle Sam in the same department,
are wondering when they will re-
ceive the last half of last months pay.
The money was due yesterday but
Congress failed to pass the deficiency
appropriation bill and the employees
we're not paid. Congress appropriates
approximately $1O.500,000 in bulk for
the collection of customs. This sum
generally falls short about $25O,O00
every year to meet all the salaries
and other incidental expenses.

FROM CUB REPORTER TO COLLEGE HEAD

Fifteen years ago John Bowman
who was a recent speaker before the
! Tri-Clty Press cub. was cub re
porter on The Davenport Democrat.
Today he IS president OF the Iowa
State university. Fifteen years ago he
was climbing stairways. scurrying
through alleys, making the undertake
ing shops and a multitude OF other
things in search OF news. In those
days the reporters had no union and
his work knew no bounds. There
were no court reporters. commercial
reporters. sporting editors. society edi-
tors and other fancy salaried digni-
taries around the newspaper Offices.
The cub was pretty near the whole
works SO far as the bringing in OF the
news was concerned.
But today-how changed. No long
CT is John C. Bowman taking orders
from city editor or being called
down by a managing editor. Instead
he is the head OF one OF the greatest
institutions OF learning in the middle
west. He Is the guiding genius OF
the destiny OF 200 students. He is
versed in Latin and Greek. archaeology
and sociology and other branches of
the higher education not TO be &C
oIired in a newspaper ONCE.
Had No Horse Shoe.
But John Bowman's ascendency is
no. due TO a horseshoe or any OF the
other socaLed emblems OF luck. IT
represents unlimited grit. hard work
and a determination to succeed.
When a mere boy he attended the /
old school No. 1 in Mt. Ida. now known /
as the Washington school. lie next /
entered the high school. here gradual |
ing with honors. With money saved I
by working after school hours he en- !
tered the state university. With his 4
scant savings, little did he dream at 4
that time that some day he would be-
come the head of this great institution.
He was now entirely dependent upon
his own resources. After the first
year at the university his money gave
out and he was compelled TO return
home in search OF employment.
We next find aim teaching a rural
