Oneida SCHOOL
CASE SETTLED
DISTRICT AGREES TO PAY $500
FOR SITE. LITIGATION AT
AN END.
AGREEMENT REACHED LAST WEEK
School Board Decided 10 Accept
Mrs. Holbet's Proposition a. to II
Value Of Four Acres.

A settlement was agreed upon last
week. which, when carried out, will
dispose Of the Oneida school case
which promised at the outset to fur,
nish prolonged and vexatious litiga-
tion. At meeting Of the school
board at Oneida last Thursday It was
decided to accept the proposition Of.
fered by Mrs. Holbert which provid-
ed that she would take three thous-
and dollars for the land selected for
q school house site, and upon pay
ment of this consideration would de-
liver the school district deed to the
property. &
The controversy grew out Of the
action OF the Oneida school district in
attempting to take, by condemnation
proceedings, four acres Of Mrs. Hol-
bert's farm which had been reserv-
led as a building site. In the pro
ceedings an award Of one thousand
dollars was made for the site which
Mrs. Holbert refused to accept.
The action Of the school district
was contested on the ground that
the proceedings were irregular and
that this particular tract could not
be legally condemned for the reason
that it did met djouin a public high
way. It Was also contended by the
owners that the four acres in ques-
ton constituted the only building
site on the farm and by condemninE
this tract the farm would be damag-
ed far in excess OF one thousand dol
lars.
The payment Of the sum agreed up
on will harmonize the differences be
tween the owner, Mrs. Holbert, and
the school district.

IOWA is NATURES MASTER.
s PIECE

In the July American Magazine Is
an article on Iowa by Herbert quick
who tells why this state Is one OF rue
garden spots Of the earth.
Nothing has been left undone by
nature to complete the work, he says,
..First Destiny covered Iowa with the
waters Of the sea, and for millions cf
years there dropped to the dark lev-
els Of this primordial ocean the
lime. the gypsum and the clays
which form the basis and provide for
the renewal Of her soil. There fell
also the sandstones for her buildings
when man chould come to make them
Then the sea bed rose, the waters re-
ceded, and in the hot, moist breath
OF the corboniferous era We're laid
down the Goals. so that when man
came he might find the suns heat to
convert to brick, and Lime, gypsum
and clay to combine with heat into
that lnuid rock which pours like wat.
ter an turns to living.
.But His hand was stretched out
still The clays and ledges and sands
were then no better than those Of any
other land. They would not do for the
Masterpiece. So there came on the
earth a great chill, and the waters
We're made into plow. and with that
plow.of ice the GRANTEES Of the north
were ground up that their potash
might be made soil, and the potash
pilates we're mingles with the potash,
and through all ran the lime; and
the Glacial plow passed over Iowa and
made Of her a great plain Of smooth
tilth, and strewed It with black drift
fit for the pigmy plows Of man.
Then Destiny waited while the
waters made channels for themselves.
And the swamps dried up. And for
millions Of years the forces of ma.
t,lre stored nitrogen in the black soil,
and filled it with vegetable mold like
that which delighted the Children Of
Israel when they spied out the Prom
ised Land of Canaan, and reported
that it was goodly land"

THE SPEED MANIAC
(The Dyersville Commercial

Granting license by the state, to
the owner Of an automobile, should
mean more than merely securing rev
enue for building roads. 1t should
have provisions that make for public
safety and for the safety Of those VIII
ride in the automobiles. In oth ,r
! words there should be some restric-
tions an dcontrl in regards to the
driver. The many accidents through
out the state, as a result Of auto
speeding, has prov n that many a dn

ling machine, jeopardizing the lives
OF the passengers under his care.
Railroads put the drivers Of their
engines through q rigid examination
and a number Of years Of Preparation
before they are entrusted to handle
the throttle Of an engine pulling a
train on track, the development OF
which, to enable speed Of thirty to
sixty miles an hour has taken years
Of labor and engineering. The train,
too, is guarded by dispatching sys-
I! tenn, tI
| What a contrast to auto driving.
Here we, allow chauffeur, inexper-
fenced, inspired with the ambitions
and follies OF speed demon to take
lives Of passengers in hand, passen-
gers who know nothing Of the qualifi-
cations or failings OF the driver, and
attempt tO whisk them ever an un-
developed tract, at a speed that
would put to shame. the experienced
engineer driving an engine on rail-
road track, built and cleared for
making time. The dangers of the
speeder is not only to those whose
lives he has in hand, but to all tray
elers on the highway, and he is a
menace to Car drivers, who handle
their machines conservatively and
keep within reasonable speed.
Unavoidable accidents, as is tie
case on railroads, will occur from
timo to time, but until the unquali-
fled speed maniac is weeded out, the
ride Of death will continue to be stag
