pected to Bc Gained.

LA GRANDE ore, March L.
Completing a road system that 1t eX-
poets to work this year the county
court Of Union county made public
its intentions relative to road con-
struction and repairs
Apparently realizing fully that the
country as a whole is intensely inter-
ested in better road,, members Of the
county court have been putting in a
good deal Of time of late in formulat-
ing a plan for permanent road work
The present court was not organized
for business last year owing to liti-
cation over elections, until late in the
spring when time for all preliminary
road work had almost expired and II
was with some difficulty that even a
portion Of the years work was han
died to advantage
Beginning this ear in plenty Of
time the court has contracted for a
heavy, high-power traction engine and
power graders. This road machinery
has been ordered on a satisfaction
guaranteed" basis In other words,
the court is taking no chances on ma
chinery and the order mas been placed
with a sixty day trial by Union coun-
ty before final decision is given as to
accepting 1t. This VIII give ample
time, it is argued, for every feature Of
the equipment to be tried out.
Permanent crew TO BE organized
II is then proposed to man the new
equipment with permanent crew Of
skilled labor in road building, and
common labor will be contracted for
just so long as it comes up to GER
tain standard OF production, The in
tent, however, is to organize a good
crew and keep that crew with the
power outfit throughout the spring
and early summer This will mean,
according to the courts plan, constant
travelling back and forth across tins
valley with the engine and graders
making bitches and crowning the
highways with an occasional rolling
and dragging
The heavy traction rig will travel
several miles a day pulling power
graders and with skilled hands in
charge of the equipment, 1t is the be-
lief that splendid results will be at
once apparent.

Keokuk friends will hear with sin
cere regret the news that Mrs. Grace
Lewis, matron of the Odd Fellows
home at Mason CITY, formerly of
MontrOse, and her sister, Mrs. Flora
Horn, Of Montrose, were among the
drowned in the Rock Island railroad
accident near. Packard, Iowa, Friday
morning. The two bodies were recov-
cred from the water yesterday, &C.
cording to word received here. It
was not known that either were on
the train that crashed through the
bridge over Flood creek and the mys-
terry Of their whereabouts was only
cleared up with the finding Of the
bodies.
Mrs. Grace Lewis is well known in
Keokuk. She had visited here sever
last August at the Lee county Odd
with what Is said to be the largest
flag In Iowa, to place over the Odd
Fellows home at Mason City. She
was an acknowledged authority on
the rearing Of children and her
services were known throughout the
state. She also had charge OF the old
folks home at Mason City.
1t seems that the two sisters were
on their way to Mason City to attend
the annual home coming picnic there
this month. It was purely by chance
that they took the fatal train and I'M
til the bodies found yesterday had
been identified, It was not known thai
they were even in the wreck. Mrs.
Lewis was born and reared in Mont
ros and had been matron at the Odd
Fellows homo for the last thirteen
years.
Mrs. Horns body is to be brought
back to Montrose for burial. Her son
has gone to Packard to take charge

women are cousins Of Miss Sallie B.
