dams Deerfoot dairy west of town at
- o'clock this morning with loss OF
$4,000 covered by insurance. Three
big stock and feed barns, nine head
of horses, two calves, fifteen tons oil
straw and three large sheds we're de.
stroyed. Clad in their nightclothes
and bare footed, Mr.. and Mrs. F. G..
NJ Bragdon who live on the dairy
farm saved 80 head of cattle from
death in the flames. They were just
in time for within a few minutes after
they had liberated the last COW, the
flames enveloped the cattle barn. They
were compelled to desert two calves
because of the heat. Mrs. Bragdon
was awakened by the crackle of the
flames in the horse barn three hun
dren feet from the house and when
she peered from the window the barn
was mass of flames.

CITY SUES TO RECOVER
Davenport Co. Asked to Make Good
For Defective Sewer.

Eighty feet more of the outlet Of
the new storm sewer constructed
less than a year ago by the city of
Oskaloosa Is on the point of collapse.
1t is badly damaged. A great crack
runs. along the length of the outlet
or that part Of the big pipe lying
south of Eighth avenue between A
and B streets. Sections of the top
have settled fully six inches and the
side walls have spread to about the
same extent Fully eighty feet of
the greatest diameter of the con.
struction is involved. any portion of
which or possibly the entire length
Is likely to fall in at any time and
Is certain to fall before the spring
rains.
The expense OF replacing the work
at the first cost Of the sewer would
be between six and seven hundred
dollars, but its no sure thing that
the repairs could be made for this
amount. .,
The Independent Construction Co.
of Davenport, contractor and builder
of the work, is under bond to make
good any repairs and damage to the
job that may occur within the space
of one year and the company is still
bound to make good this most recent
defect.
Damage to. the work was first APP
parent in April of this year, big
cracks in tae sewer wall first appear.
ed Since that time the defect has
grown to its. present proportions. The
company has been advised from time
to time of tle condition and has
paid little or no attention to the com.
municaions sent by engineer or city
council. ....,.-. ... ,....
City Attorney H. B. Mccoy has
started suit against the company to
recover on its bond. In addition to
the damage to the south end of the
storm sewer system the company is
also held liable by the city for a bill
of about $500 for repairs to damaged
pavement and replacing of pavement
and defective work. The company OBJ
jects to the payment of these bills
and hence the suit to collect on the
bond. The total amount of damage
fol-, which the company is held is
over $1,000. .' 49,"
Oskaloosa city, will probably take
immediate steps to reconstruct the
outlet to prevent further damage to
the work
Cause of the damage probably lies
in the fact that the outlet was con.
structed on filled ground which. was
not properly treated before the
weight of the heavy sewer was i'm
posed.

CARRIERS TO GET MORE PAY
s41 Rural Men in Iowa Will Have
Increases Of From $t2 to
off. $50 Per Year.

! Des Moines, Nov. 21.-Increases In
salaries have been granted to BAL
rural carriers of Iowa. The advanc-
es range from $12 to $3.50 a year and
are effective for November. The
first checks under the new schedule
will be sent out Dec. /.
There are 2,427 rural carriers in
Iowa. OF that number Sic are now
getting the maximum salary OF
81 200 a year. The majority of the
remainder are between $1,000 and
LOO year. Under the new APP
preparations act it was possible to
grant the rural carriers small adj
ravce. In some cases it is 81 per
month. The most of the carriers who
get increases, however, will receive
SO a month more than formerly,
Tho department recently took
count of the number of packages of
mail matter handled on the rural
route in the country. The war was
also recorded. II developed that
many of the carriers were entitled to
additional compensation by reason OF
the increase in business on the
routes. On tae basis of the volume
of business the adjustment effective
this month, was made
Carriers receiving the maximum
salary are those having routes TWEEN.
ty.four or more miles in length. The
scale of wages has been based upon
the length of the route. Those In tue
service who are receiving $1,000 a
year viii receive no advance at this
time. The men who draw the in.
creases are all getting less than tie
maximum.
The Des Moines post office Is the
paying Office. for all rural carriers in
the state. The clerks are now busy
entering the new order on the books
and the checks will be ready for dis
tribution on the first OF the month.
The parcel post business is said TO
be responsible for most OF the IN
crease in volume OF mail handled on
the rural routes.
