--ostermanh Predicts Lincoln Way
Will be AII.Ysar Road.

Boone, Nov. 10.-H. c. Ostermann, Of
Detroit, field secretary of the Lincoln
highway, and S. E. Smyth. secretary
Of the Omaha Auto Club, stopped a
short time in Boone to talk over the
status Of the Lincoln highway. Secre-
tary Ostermann was on his return trip
from going over the highway last sum-
mer from east to west. He said many
good things about Iowa.
Hands Iowa a Bouquet.
Secretary Ostermann also handed
Iowa a nice bouquet. He declared that
out of the twelve states traversed by
the Lincoln highway, the two that he
most enjoyed were Pennsylvania and
Iowa. Pennsylvania, on account Of its
rugged scenery and naturally smooth
roads, Iowa because of its beautiful and
prosperous fields and it's excellent
roads--in good weather. OF course, he
recognizes the great difficulty of MAX
ing Iowa roads good all the year
around, and he Is not unacquainted
with Iowa mud, but he declared that
he believed that while we may not ex-
poet hard surface roads in Iowa in the
near future, he does believe that the
Lincoln highway will soon he in con-
dition known as -year-around
roads. that Is to say, roads that are
.'travelable" 3S5 days Of the year.
Iowa Leads in Bridges.
Secretary Ostemann said that Iowa
led all twelve states in bridge con-
struction on the Lincoln highway. By
this he did not mean architectural
beauty altho he said that there were
many pretty bridges in Iowa.
He referred to the practical con-
struction. durability, and ton capacity
OF the Iowa concrete bridges. In one
state thru which he passed that was
blessed with beautiful and always
passable roads, the bridge capacity by
some fatal mistake was limited to ten
tons. How such - thing happened no
one seems to be able to explain. There
is no such trouble in Iowa. He declares
our bridges are the most substantial
and the best constructed of all Bridge
architecture seems to be fine art III

FOUR MEN At CLINTON HAVE
THRILLING EXPERIENCE 1855
FEET IN AIR.
HOSTING APPARATUS

Workmen Compelled to Take Refuge
on Top Of Brick Wall Eight inches
Wide-HeId in Aerial Trap Until
Rope and Pulley Could Be Sent to
Them-one man Seriously Injured.

Clinton, Nov. 10.-Suspended 1866 feet
in the air on newly constructed
eight inch brick wall, part of which
had just been torn away, was the ex-
perience Of four men who were work
ing on the new smoke stack at the
plant of the Clinton Rugar Refining
Company. The men were compelled to
remain on the wall until rope could
be gotten to them and they were re-
moved by block and tackle.
Engineer Nathan Byan, who was
operating the hoist used in lifting brick
and other material to the top of the
stack received two broken ribs and
several bruises when a large timber
which was torn loose by the runaway
hoist fell on the top of his shanty.
Story Of Accident.
About $3.50 o'clock hoist was TAX
ing some mortar to the top of the
stack and thru some misunderstanding
or the loss of control of the engine,
the hoist continued on its upward
journey. When the foreman of the men
at the top of the stack saw that the
hoist was not going to stop he ordered
his men to jump to the other side OF
the stack which they did, clinging to
the freshly laid brick wall.
No sooner had the men reached the
opposite side of the wal than the hoist
reached the top, tore out the hoist
scaffolding and about five feet of the
stack wall. This all fell to the ground
one Of the large timbers striking the
engineers shanty. He was rushed In
an automobile to Mercy hospital where
his injuries were dressed and he was
improving as well as could be expected
this morning.
No one seems able to tell the cause
of the accident, there being several
theories. One is that the engineer lost
control of his engine, another that no
signal was received and still another
that the engineer failed to hear the
signal.
