.BOORMAN FOR CONGRESS
FROM NEWS TELEGRAPH

There is a general talk i'm this
part of the district, that III. M. Boor
man of Atlantic, should be camdi-
date for nomination on the repub-
Lean ticket for member in Con-
gress at the primaries next June.
Mr. Boorman is we'll known thru
out the district as one of its lead
ing lawyers. His success has been
Obtained by the hardest kind of APP
pl.cation and attention to business;
he was a poor boy from the farm
without college education and is
purey a sallf made maa. He is an
original thinker, able and ambitious
whose success in his profession
has stinguished him as having
more cases against railways than
any attorney in Iowa. His clients ar
numerous and apprsciative; his
frisnds legion and loyal.
Mr.. Boorman's struggle in his
profess Jon has been such that he
is able to view life from the lev
el CT the great mass of men, and
no one understands their burdens
better than he.
He is a man of sterling charac-
ter, whose word is never doubted; !;
republican who believes in COM
mon sense justice for all. No one
Will ever doubt his ability. AS an
orator he his fsw equals in this
part of the state and his friends in-
S st that his forensic ability will
make him a conspicuous figure in
Congress.
1t is not known whether Judge
Green, present member in Congress
who has had 20 years of public re-
cognition, VIII ask further support
or mot; but Mr.. Boorman looks
like a logical candidate and ought
to be given general and enthusias-
tic support if he decides to enter
the race. The News-T Telegraph fay-

OUR TRAIN is
IN THE DITCH

While our north bound train was
on its journey to Audubon, Tuesday
two OF the box cars that helped to
make up the train and the front
end of the passenger coach left the
track short distance south of
Hamlin. It's long while since a
train has been derailed on this
branch and the road bed is becom-
ing quite old and needs constant
cAre. The excessive rain this sea-
son is putting all the roads in an
unsafe condition and the lives who
pass over them in Jeopardy, 1t
would seem that the c. r. L. & P.
could continue mail service at least
by sending trains to meet at the
breach and transfer. There is no
excuse to tie up traffic for such a
small affair.

has an interesting and instructive
story to tell which he has told more
than 400 times in seven years.
One of the most interesting pro-
grams was the last one. given by
James Butin, the Bird Man, and
ably seconded by the Symphony
Players who are just returning
from the Panama Exposition. They
would be drawing card on our
lecture course as their entertain
ment was exceedingly popular.
The Union services at the big
Chautauqua tent Sunday was fairly
we'll attended. The sermon by the
Rev. Grinyer, was delivered in a
masterly and pleasing manner and
the Reverend was in perfect accord
with his text-The Perfect Day.
His thoughts as spoken were
closely followed by his hearers who
were wrapt in close attention to the
end. The singing by The Extra Chor
us conducted by Miss Bessie Witt
hauer was fine. The Solo by Mrs.
Varney was an able effort. and
much appreciated.
The Journal feels that they ex
press the opinion of all, when they
say that the 1915 Chautauqua at e.
ira has been success from start
to finish.

Everything has been going mer-
rily on at the Donaldson headuuar-

Ford Agency was taken from him,
for Audubon County and passed in

The modus operandi by supposed

worthy the act of former friends.

state that Mr.. Soren R. Nelson was

one of his legs. He did not give up

URGES LARGER FUNDS
 FOR ALASKAN ROADS
Col. Richardson Submits Annual
 Report to War Department.

Washington, Jan. S.-Further de- velopment of Alaska's system of roads and trails cannot be expected unless
 congress increases the allotment of funds, declares Colonel William P. Richardson, president of the Alaskan n board of road commissioners in his annual report today to the war de- partment. The funds allotted, he says, are now entirely consumed in repairing and maintaining the existing roads. This, according to Colonel Richardson, will become virtually a fixed condition from year to year. with the amount of mileage now re- quired to be maintained, and although additional new projects, all more or less meritorious, are being presented to the board every year, with petitions for aid, it is impossible for the board to respond, except to very limited degree.
 Submits Extension Plan. Colonel Richardson has submitted plan for the extension of the roads covering a period of three years, with ar estimate of $750,OOO for the first year, and it is earnestly hoped that this plan may receive favorable action before the opening of next seasons work
 While again disclaiming any inten- tion of antagonizing the projected railway construction in Alaska, Colonel Richardson repeats the former state ment of the board that no rapid or general development of Alaska will follow the construction of trunk lines of railroads to the interior unless pre- ceded or accompanied by the con- struction of many wagon roads and trails as feeders.
 Army Best Agency.
 Regarding the bill now before con- gress to create a general develop ment board for Alaska, to open it's resources, Colonel Richardson de- clares that "1t is no egotism to say that no other agency of the govern ment is more competent or better equipped for such tasks than the army and points to the extensive public works accomplished in Alaska in connection with the cable and tele- graph systems and the roads and trails run through the wilderness by the army, to support his statement.

Three vessels brought back from the Arctic 34,0oO pounds of whale bone. The highest price for sperm oil reached during the Civil war, was s2.75 a gallon; last years product sold at forty-five to forty eight cents.
