POULTRY BUSINESS
VERY HEAVY FOR THIS
TINE OF THE YEAR
LARGE SHIPMENTS CONTINUE
TO THE EASTERN MARKETS.
AS IN OTHER MONTHS.
MANY CAR LOADS ARE SENT OUT

Ten Times AS Much Activity in Mar
ket as Has Ever Before Been Seen
Here at this Time of Year.-Poul-
try Raising Has Increased.
The poultry business is ten times
as heavy for this time Of year as
have ever known it to be-" said one
of the most prominent poultry ship
pers of the city this morning. He
stated that while his firms ship
ments to the eastern markets were
just about the same as they have
been making regclarly all this year,
that the amount of business that
they were now doing was unparalleled
for the present season He said that
there is usually falling off in this
line Of business about this time
every year, but that the exception to
the rule was being at present found,
and that he had never known such
large shipments to rule during the
month of August. This firm shipped
last week to the eastern markets two
car loads of eggs, one of butter, and
four of poultry.
A member Of another produce firm
in the city said that shipments from
his house had been large, and that
business was very good. He stated
that although this was usually rath
er dull time of year, that he could
find no fault with the present de
mand for poultry from this county.
His firm shipped last week three
carloads of poultry.

This work is in line with the gen.

Breaking all records probably for
high price for phosphate lands, the
Kittrell place at Mt Pleasant, con-
tanning $50 acres of land, has been
sold to Hoover & Mason for a cash
consideration of $325,OOO This place
contains approximately 100 acres of
phosphate bearing land and the price
paid is more than $4,000 for each
acre of phosphate rock. Very seldom
have any deals been made represent
ing any such sum for the raw rock in
the ground or even that would ap.
proach this figure.
1t is estimated that there are on
this 100 acres not less than 100000
tons of fine grade phosphate rock
With this purchase Hoover and Ma.
son, the well known Chicago contrac.
tors, will have invested not less than
100000 in the phosphate fields OF
! this section. This identical land was

at one time under contract for sale to
a. phosphate company for $65,OOO and
the deed for the same is said to have
been placed in escrow. However, the
trade fell through and the deal was
never contaminated nor the deed de.
livered. -..-
The property in question is known
as the old Jack Kittrell place and
has been in recent years under the
control of John Kittrell, one of the
heirs. 1t is said to contain the finest
grade Of rock and more of it than any
similar area so far discovered in the
entire phosphate fields of this county
The price paid for this land, Eve
times that at which it was one time
sold, is a pretty sure indication Of
the solid value of phosphate holdings
in this section. 1t is said that the uni
form grade of the rock on this LAND
adds immensely to its marketable
value.

VOTE DOWN PLAN
FOR JUNKET TRIP
Jail Committee of Board of Su-
pervisors Decide Not to
Take Journey.
UNTIL EXPERTS ARE HEARD
Plan to Have Superintendent of Cook
County Work House Come
May Visit Ottunnws.

After an extended discussion the
members of the special committee OF
the board of supervisors in charge OF
plans for the new county Jail, in SEES
sion at the court house this morning,
voted down the proposed junket trip
| for the present ar least
Some of the committee thought the
| best way TO gain information relative
I to the kind of an institution needed
here would be to visit cities having
modern structures but the majority
/ favored inviting jail experts to the
| city for advice and this plan will be
/ followed. The superintendent of the
! Cook county work house and men of
equal experience will probably be
asked to appear before the committee
Ottumwa Jail.
One of the places the committee
may visit viii be the Wapeilo county
( jail at Ottumwa. Supervisor S. r.
/ Wright heard that city had a modern
| institution and wrote to r d. Mac
Manus, formerly city editor of The
Argus, and now managing editor of
the Ottumwa Courier, for information
relative to it.
The jail, according to the letter writ
ten by Mr.. MacManus in reply, was
built in 1911 at a cost of S45. 600, which
was raised by the sale of bonds
George l.. Kerns, formerly of this city
and now an Ottumwan. designed it.
The letter continuing says, THE
Jail is designed to accommodate So
prisoners in separate cells, there be
ing Il cells TO a cage The door of
each cell is controlled from the cage
and while assuring perfect safety, is
also sanitary precaution- There is
no opportunity for the building to get
into the filthy condition that some
times exists in jails elsewhere. In ad-
dition to the cages above mentioned,
there are wards for boys and women,
and there is a dark cell and a padded
cell and a hospital ward. There are
also several cells which might be
termed bull pens because they are
used FOR housing tramps and DRINKS.
/ should Judge that the Wapello coun-
" Jail would be very nearly large
enough for Rock Islands needs, at
least it could be made so without great
additional expense.
THE front part OF the building is a
residence for the sheriff and a look
through it will convince you that no
sheriff would need be ashamed 10
make 1t his home. Our sheriff with
his wife and four grown daughters
are not ashamed 10 make it their
home"
In conclusion. Mr.. MacManus urged
the committee 10 place Ottumwa on
its itinerary. because the jail there is
considered one of the best in the state
of Iowa
