The report from the Third Iowa In

pany in the mess fund. The total
surplus OF cash, for the regiment for
the month was 32,700. The officers OF

thing that the boys would want. Yet

Other reports received by the adju-

These statements effectively answer
charges that the men do not get good
food, Logan says.

light LAKE RESORT
PROJECT WILL BE CONSIDERED
BY CHAUTAUQUA ASSOCIA-
TION-COULD BUILD
CHEAP NOW.

1t is possible that an electric light
line will be strung from the city to
Lake Madison during the early sum
mer, it was said today.
The joint good roads committee
some weeks ago considered the mat
ter of having the road to the lake
and the summer resort lighted by
electricity. The matter will now be
taken up. it is reported, by the di-
rectors of the Chautauqua associa-
ton, at a meeting to be held next
Monday night.
1t has been suggested to the direc-
tors of the Chautauqua association
that the line can be built now cheap
er than it could be at some future
date. Poles for the line could be pur-
chased for a nominal sum from the
Dakota Central Telephone company
which is removing telephone poles
from many of the streets.
One idea of those in favor of build
ing the line now, is that the cottagers
at the lake be asked to contribute SIC
each toward the work. There are
some forty-five cottages at the lake
If each owner were to contribute $40
the total would pay nearly half OF
the cost of the line, it is explained.

WATER PIPE HERE
WORK on EXTENSION OF CITY
SERVICE WILL PROBABLY BE
STARTED THIS WEEK.

The first of three carloads of water
pipe. which is to be used in enlarging
the eity's water system, arrived here
today. and work on the extension Of
the service will probably be started
this week.
City Engineer G. A. Trimmer said
today that workmen would be en-
gagged Immediately upon the arrival
of the necessary hydrants and valves,
which are expected in a couple of
days. at the latest. Two more cars
of water pipe are expected to come
within that time.
Water service is to be installed in
the extreme end of West Fifth street,
on East Fourth street, Josephine ave-
nue. and on streets on the south side
of the city.
, While a part of the new water
mains will serve residences hal have
been built for a considerable time,
the enlarged service, for the most
part, is made necessary by the recent
construction of buildings. So urgent
was the need of the extension on
West Fifth street that the owners of
new residences there filed a bond to
guarantee that the city would at least
realize reasonable interest on the
money invested in the Improvement.

and who are actively engaged in

may profit by the summer school.
Summer school was held here last

a good attendance, and it is antici-
