North McGregor, Ia. March 5.-The
neighboring city of Prairie du Chen,
Wis, just across the Mississippi, is
now working for a 100000 bridge
across the Wisconsin river to Glenn
park, which will be, with the beauti-
full Iowa scenery and river and islands

The Prairie du Chen Commercial
club, the Crawford and Grant coun-
ties farmers are uniting in raising the
money for the bridge, and $4,000 has
already been subscribed.
Another project being put forth by
the farmers of both counties and bust
ness men, too, is railroad to run from
Lancaster, the county seat of Grant
county, to Mount Hope, Bloomington,
Patch Grove to Prairie du Chen
where it will connect with the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul and Burlington

Now that the two Wisconsin coun
ties are in the Mississippi Valley Ma.
tional Park association, the people are
working in every way possible to unite
with Iowa in making it a success.

sentative Charles II. Scott of Appa-

pion coal miner of Iowa.

$140.36, from which is to be deducted
S16.75 for powder charges. This leaves
him net $123.61, Jan average of $12.36
a day. r
To prove that this is not an extra
ordinary effort for him it should be
stated that during the past six months
his, gross income was S1,264 from coal
digging and the net $1,o5O.
