Sin the old days It was thought best

CONTROL BOARD BUYS 141 ACRES
OF LAND IN NORTHWESTERN
IOWA.
coNvIcTs WILL De USED
IN ROCK CRUSHING PLANT
Material 80 Be Supplied to Counties
For Improvement Of Highways and
to Railroads For 5aIlastins-lnsx-,
haustible Supply Of Stone Available
Available to Railroads.

Dec Moines, Feb. 26.-The state
board OF control yesterday purchased
\ 141#acres Of land in Lyons county. for
I the purpose OF opening up al quarry
as a prison industry to supply, crushed
rock for the Improvement of Iowa's
highways. The stone also will be sold
to railroads for construction work, and
to cities for paving.
The land purchased is in the north
western part Of Iowa. The Rock Is
land route lies within three miles of
it to the south and the Illinois Gem
trail comes within one mile and half
of It to the north in Minnesota: both
companies are expected to construct
switches to the state quarry, the state
supplying the right Of way and doing
the grading.
Has InsxhaustibIe Supply.
The price paid for the property is
less than 800 an acre. It has an in
exhaustible supply Of Sioux Falls
granite, the stone appearing on tha
surface. Senator McColl, member Of
the board Of control, inspected the
property several weeks ago. Col. J.
H. McConlogue yesterday bought the
property for the state, acting under
authority Of resolution passed by
the board. He says the property Is
excellent for the purpose and that the
stone which will be put out by the
new industry will be the best obtain
able material for road building. The
Sioux Falls granite Is hard and su-
perior to the sand and limestone oh
tanned in other parts Of the state and
used for road work, he asserts.
The railroads will be asked to give
the state low rate for transporta-
ton Of the crushed stone. where the
material is to be used on the high
ways. 1t is believed that the roads
will cooperate with the state. At a
recent conference held by the board of
control, J. G. Davis, representing the
Northwestern railroad, read a paper
asking the state to open up a quarry
to supply the cities and counties with
cheap stone for road work, and urging
that the railroads encourage the work
by granting low rates
Use Prison Labor.
The state board will operate the
quarry with prison labor. 1t is ex-
pected that probably hundred pris-
oners can be given employment in the
new industry. Altho the matter has
not been settled, Colonel McConlogue
expressed the opinion that the prison-
ers for this work will be sent from the
Anamosa reformatory. a
The new chair factory which d has
been installed at the Fort Madison
prison will be ready for operatione on
March /, II was announced yesterday
by the board Of control. This plant
will employ between $50 and 900 men.
The state already has g cantract with
one Of the largest furniture houses in
the country to dispose Of the chairs at
"a profit to the state. The men en-
&ployed In the quarry and in sthe chair
factory will sc paid wages by the
state. The money thus earned may be
used to aid the families Of the prison :

naturally immune to diphtheria. 1t Is
Of greatest importance to ascertain
who is immune and who Is susceptible
to this disease.

DR.. Summer. in his letter to DR.. Al
bert, comments on circulars when

claiming that new and simple skin
test, known as the Schick test, will
