GOOD GAS SERVICE
PROMISED ROSSLYN
will Be Placed on Par With That
in Washington, Says
H. S. Reside.

I'VE expect to place the Rosslyn
service upon a par with that we give
in Washington" said II. S. Reside,
president Of the Washington Gas
Light Company, today. in explaining
the approval Tuesday by the Public
Utilities Commission of the sale OF the
RossIyn Gas Company to Mr.. Rec
sides company.
Our present plans are to run a
gas main under the river from our
main plant to Rosslyn, and thus give
the citizens OF that place much better
service than they have been getting"
Can Give Better Service.
When asked whether the company
would be able to furnish the citizens
of Rosslyn with cheaper gas than
they have been getting Mr.. Reside
said: well, that depends a good deal
upon how conditions work out. You
realize that a large well-organized
company such as ours can, of course,
give much better and cheaper ser
vice than a small company.
But, on the other hand, the cost
Of coal and other materials we use
in making our gas has risen to such
a height that there is little POSSIBLE
ity OF lowering the price for the pres
sent We really ought to get a high
er price for our gas here in Wash
ingtoH than we are now receiving"
Pleased Over the Change.
Mr. Reside said he had received
numerous letters from people who have
been buying gas from the Rosslyn COM
pany. saying they were pleased over the
change.
I'VE expect 10 use the same engineers,
the same management, and the same
system in Rossiyn that we use in WASH
ington," said Mr.. Reside. The two
companies will be combined and all run
under one office. thus insuring efficiency
and the best possible service"

GOODBYE SOLDIER.

Goodbye, goodbye, to you brave
Who goes to war for our land,
We hope you all be good and true
Yes, just like the boys of Sixty-two.
1t certainly will be a task
But go right on, no Kaiser ask
What to leave or what to do
But show them you are clad il blue.
Your memory always will be dear
To you that our emblem clears
From kaiserdom and earthly power
God grant we soon may see that hour
The nations then will live in peace
And travel safe on land and seas.
Then the stars will lead us on
Till the better time will dawn.
Our flag the red the white the blue,
To every nation will be true.

ing enough to attempt to investigate
them.
Edwin S. Balch of Philadelphia,
who has made study of the subter-
ranean ice mines, as they are called,
states that according to the theory
evolved by Investigators the forma-
ton of the caverns is such that the
cold air of winter does not penetrate
and settle in them until late in the
spring at the time when the water
from spring thaws is seeping through
the walls and roof. This water, meet
ing the cold air freezes and stays
frozen all summer until, as the fall
season approaches, the warm summer
air at last finds its way into the cave
and melts the ice"

DECORAH'S MYSTERIOUS CAVE.
Ice Cave Called Mysterious Ice Mine
by Writer.

Our ice cave is getting some more
notereity. Now a writer in the Pop
ular Science Monthly has created
something out of his new brain. He
says the people give the cave wide
berth, and never attempt an investi-
CATION of it. Wish we had a dollar
for every person who has investigated
it, we would be able to buy a good
many thousands of dollars worth of
Liberty Bonds and have plenty left
for all the rainy days that might
come. Following is the article from
the Popular Science Monthly:
There are several caves in the
United States where nature seems to
have become confused as to the sea-
sons, according to an article in the
Popular Science Monthly for August
During the late spring aid summer ic
forms and freezing temperature pre-
walls but as winter comes on the in
terror of the caves becomes milder,
the ice gradually melts and a kind of
subuued summer sets in under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at Coudersport, Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Iowa. The superstitious
among the residents of those locali-
ties give the cave wide berth and
look with suspicion upon any one dar-

Saturday Night Stock Service.

The Rock Island has resumed its
Saturday night stock run out of De-
corah. The train leaves here at nine
o'clock p. m. and arrives in Chicago
Sunday afternoon. This service gets
the stock to market in good shape
and avoids all shrinkage, as the cat

day night and are fed before being
sold. The Equity Society ship
ped out nine cars of fine fat cat
tie and four of hogs last Saturday
night. Some of the cattle were about
as fine looking animals as we have
seen shipped out of DEBORAH in
years.
