PLANT IS ASSURED.
NEW MANUFACTURING EsTA5-
LIsHMENT FOR oSkALoosA.
o5uTrs eM5fta

i Richard M. Boyer, "old timer" pio-
/, neer Of Mahaska county. is proving
himself right up among Wthe front
ranks of the contenders for greater
and better 0skaloosa. Uncle Dick"
is pulling for Oskaloosa with might
and main. Alone and unassisted by
local organization, Mr.. Boyer has like.
ly succeeded in securing the location
of a new manufacturing establish
ment in Oskaloosa, the extent of
which may mean business of large
proportions. 49,.
Charles Wilson, manufacturer of
reinforced concrete, culvert and sew
er pipe, will probably establish a
branch of his manufacturing business
In Oskaloosa. He must locate some
where to care for his rapidly spread
ing business and supply the demand
for his product. Oskaloosa offers ad-
yantages not possessed by other towns
of the state and negotiations for the
location of the concern here are in
progress with prospect of successful
Termination
Mr.. Wilson operates an establish
ment at Red Ook, Iowa, where he en-
ploys a large force of men the year
around manufacturing the pipe for
which rapidly increasing demand
exists. He shipped over 200 car
loads of the pipe last season. Three
car loads were taken by Mahaska
county last season. r..
/ Oskaloosa has the advantage of be-
ing located next door to the raw ma
terial. At Red Oak sand must be
shipped in and then shipped out
again. In Oskaloosa it can be
handled first hand. Then the de-
mand for southeastern Iowa and
northern Missouri can be supplied
from this place to advantage with the
probability that the Oskaloosa branch
may, become more of a manufacturing
place than the parent at Red Oak.
Mr.. Wilson has no competition in
his particular field of work. His
product is protected by patent and he
is the only manufacturer in the state.
Negotiations have been pending
several days between the Cartons and
the Wilson's for the location of the
Oskaloosa factory. The proposition
has now passed the investigation
stage and has reached the point
where the parties are preparing con-
tracts. 1t is possible that the local
business may be
by George Carbon G Son, of
The Iowa Sand and Gravel Company.
The location of the plant is another
problem and several pieces of ground
nave been under consideration.
Mr.. Wilson is an old time friend of
Mr. Boyer. When he came to 0ska.
loosa to investigate the advantages
offered, he found Mr.. Boyer and was
by him shown about the place and
invited to bring his business
% town. Uncle Dick gave personal
attention to the matter and did every
hing possible to give the prospective
'esident favorable impression of the
own and its resources.

JAESCHKE SAILS
TO COAST With
800 TONS SUGAR

The Gouverneur Jaeschke, the last
of the merchant ships partially de-
stroyed by their German crows IN
Honolulu harbor the day after diplo-
matte relations were broken off with
Germany, and subsequently comman.
deered by the U. s. government and
repaired, sailed for San Francisco
this morning at 10:45 o'clock. She
took out a cargo Of about $50 tons Of
sugar, 800 buncLes Of bananas, SOC
drums and a crew o. A. men. 1t is
expected the voyage to the coast will
take about 10 days. AS the ships
bunkers are small sufficient coal for
the voyage was piled on her upper
decks.
Some delay was experienced in
getting the vessel away this morning
as it was hoped she would be ready
to sail by O'Clock. One reason for
the delay was the necessity to build
davits for her life boats. Two former
naval vessels which were interned
here since the beginning Of the Euro.
pean war are now in the possession
of naval authorities on this island.

which was officially organized last
week. The officers are w. l.. Comyn,
president; John Lawson, vice presi-
dent; Kenneth Macdonald, secretary;
J. H. Baxter, director, and Alan Mac.
donald, chief of construction.
The process OF concrete ship con-
struction has been developed by the
Macdonald brothers, who say they
have perfected a method of mixing
and reinforcing the concrete which
will give the sides of the ship the
elasticity of steel.

out any solicitation whatsoever and
shows that the skilled employees of

Red Cross work.
'.THo-e have been instances OF
splendid volunteer work among the
women of this territory. but this is
practically the first voluntary pledge
given, except by the few firms and
individuals who have been seen per-
sonally.
with the present high cost Of liV-
ing this monthly donation represents

LACK OF WATER IN
HILO SAD SERIOUS

(gossial D,sr-DuSsfin csrrusp6ndenes,
HI2s0, July 1e.--Hilo II threatened
with q real shortage OF water Dep.
uty Sheriff Martin Investigated the
reservoir ar Piihouua yesterday after
noon and found only eight or nine
inches OF water. This condition of
affairs was alarming 10 say the least,
so the deputy sheriff went with all
speed to the waterhead to see If he
could locate the trouble. Here he
found that only q very small stream
was feeding the pipes leading to the
main reservoir below, in other words
the source Of our water supply is
threatening 20 give out on account
Of lack OF rain. The few heavy show
ers Of late have not been sufficient
70 make up Cor the long season or
drought that came before OF course
II Is not likely our faithful stand by,
the Tainclond, viii stay away very
long, nevertheless until there is an
assurance of an absolutely sufficient
supply, the inhabitants of Hilo should
be careful OF letting taps run contin.
rously, or Of wasting water In other
unnecessary ways. - ~"
Police Officer Philip Iokepa went
sround to many places where water
Il used extensively yesterday after.
noon, and warned them to 60 spar
ingly with the use Of water until the
supply had again Deen sufficiently re-
plenished.
II Is not comfortable Thought to
think about what would happen If a
fire broke out in the middle of the
town, where 1t could spread quickly,
and the fire fighting force helpless on
account Of lack of water. There is
need that the public be not only in
formed OF this condition OF affairs
but that n should cooperate with the
proper authorities in every way pos
sible to conserve what supply is on
hand, when it is so low as reported.
