GETTING FULL VALUE

Assistant State Highway Engineer
Compliments Work of Power Coun-
ty Road Commissioners.

II. e. Cornell, assistant state high
way engineer, arrived Monday to make
plans for beginning work on tire state
highway across Power county. a crew
will be here this week to start active
work.
Mr.. Cornell was taken over the road
work being done near American Falls
in Highwy District No. 1, and was well
pleased with what he saw. To a rep
resentative of the Press he said, while
watching operations at Cedar Hollow:
1.-THE people are certainly getting
the worth of their money in the work
that is being done here. In too many
places they try to build roads with in
experienced men, the result being hat
the roads cost more money than they
should. Too much time Is lost under
these conditions. Things are moving
like clockwork here and good results
are being secured. The difference will
be so great when the roads are COM
pleted that the people will hardly
know the country"

whom he has known for many years.
He stated hat whenever good engin-
GERS had been employed on roads the
saving was not only great but the
roads were better constructed thai
where such engineers were not en-
ployed.
Good progress is being made by En-
gineer Forter on the Spring Hollow
Fill. The concreting of the 100-foot
flume was begun Monday and good
progress on the south end of the
flume is being made. Hardpan has
been encountered in the cut which,
mixed with the sand, makes a firm,
hard bed. The dirt is packing firmly
and will settle very little after being
finished.
A camp will be established on the
Rockland road at Cold Creek, where
the work of pulling down the hills
will be begun. There will be consid-
cradle work in that locality, as there
are several steep grades to be elimi-
mated. When the work is finished the
maximum grade will be six per cent.
and there will be few six per cent
grades. The most important roads
will be worked first, and it is estimst-
ed that 1t will take two years to fin
ish the work in the district.
The road roller was unloaded Satur-
day and about completes the equip
ment that will be used.

AN INTERESTING DISPLAY

The display Of guns, ammunition,
flags coins and trinkets in the win
dow Of the Wilson & Freeman groc-
cry store, has attracted considerable
attention the past week. The col
lection is the property of Mr.. Will
son and w. j. Hamilton who were in
the service when Uncle Sam called
for volunteers at the time of our set
Element with Spain for the destruc-
ton of the Maine. Lial Ross who
for a number of years served in the
Iowa National Guards, has also a
number of specimens in the display.
There is considerable contrast be-
tween the old guns used by this gov
eminent during 81 and 90 and the
and has been sent here by the u. s.
government for use by the members
of the Rifle Club.
II is strange to relate In this con-
nection that the patriotism in the
hearts of our young men, does not
lead them to enlist, or seek enlist
ment in the army and navy at this
time as 1t did in 1898 immediately
following the disaster that befel our
battleship, the Maine. There is alb
solutely no sentiment for war in
Audubon and the absence is so mark
ed that the matter has been freely
commented upon. We still trust that
1t will never become necessary for
the United States to enter the world
war. regardless of the apparent
break between this government ana
the Imperial government of Ger
many.

Grated upon for appendicitis in a
hospital of an adjoining town. 1t
was severe case. The surgeons do
their best to relieve her of her ter
rible condition. They we're unable
to do so. After some hours of tor
turing pain the life of the little one
went out. The mother unable to stand
the ordeal through which the child
was passing. was not present. The
last sentence the little one was able
to utter was: "Tell Mamma am all
right" What q message. Although
the mother Is heart broken, though
she misses the prattle of her little
child she knows and will ever know
that she lis all right" How many
thousands OF mothers throughout this
land would rejoice and shed tears OF
Joy to know that their daughters ars
all right? Oh the agony Of mother
hood when 1t becomes known that
their daughters are not all right.
This mother will never know that
agony. Hers is q sorrow too deep
to fathom. But 1t is free from the
agony of despair.--Avoca Journal.

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA
NO. 81

Mr. and Mrs. Nels Olson who have
been in California since last Deem
Der visiting their daughter. Mrs. r.
E. Miller and family, have come back
to make their home at Ross. Mr.. o.
son has been a hog buyer at Ross
for many years but concluded last
fall to spend the winter in a milder
climate.
They went to Los Angeles by way
of Los Vagas, New Mexico to visit his
brother, Peter Olson. They didn't
like it there so continued their Jour-
ney to the coast. Mr.. Miller has
lived in Los Angeles about two years
where they have a beautiful home
and are we'll pleased with their sur
roundings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olson enjoyed the
sushine and roses and travelled in Mr..
Miller's auto over $500 miles so they
saw great deal of the country. visit
ing large orange groves WHERE the
trees were loaded with its lucious
fruits. They also enjoyed the priqil-
ege of picking apricots.
Their visit to the San Francisco
and San Diego expositions was of
much pleasure to them and they
think it is a grand affair. On their
return home they stopped at Salt
Lake City, Colorado Springs and Den
yer to take in the sights.
When they reached Audubon coun-
ty they were surprised to find the
season so backward and such an ex-
cessive amount of moisture. But
knowing Iowa so we'll, they realize
no country can look so discouraging,
and in short time change complete
ly for the better as this section of the
universe, that they are not disposed
to take the present outlook seriously.
