ONE ARMY UNIT
LOST IT'S WAY
Back in 1888, a Certain Organization
Known as the Hunters OF the
Turkey River Lost Path on
Way to Dubuque.

In 1888 the Missouri-Iowa boundary
dispute led to a hurried mobilization
of the ~nondescript units of the mil
tary forces of the territory OF lJwa.
DIR. Cyril B. Upham, in an article
published by the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa, tells Of one orsariza-
ton, known as the Hunters OF Tur-
key River, that got lost on the way
to Dubuque. Reaching the outskirts
Of town at last, late at night, they
went into camp and were rescued
the next day and led into the rtn
devious by the Mineral Blues-the
earliest military organization Of Du-
buque.
The following quotations from an
early writer may suggest the reason
for the uncertainty of these doughty
pioneers as to the upper route:
THE sun had already risen, chs
ding a flood of golden light along tho
summit of the snow capped hills on
the west. From every direction tile
Hunters of Turkey River were now
seen hurrying to the scene Of rem
devious. Here might have been seen
a group of marksmen firing at a tar
get-there a party collected to dis
cuss the probable result OF the war,
while a blazing bonfire invited the
greater number to partake of the
genial heat that it impaired; near
which was seated Ensign Baker,
astride a barrel of liquid ammunition
with a roll of parchment, enlisting
recruits for the bloody call of his
country, while the martial music of
the soul stirring drum and fife were
yielding their best efforts to arouse
the latent sparks Of patriotism, thai
had become nearly extinguished ny
the long continued peace or the re-
public"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Sweeping
changes in the governmental system
Of appropriations were recommended
to the house today by the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
practicability of a national budget
The committee made three reconl-
men6ations:
Frst-Tnat the bureau of the bud-
get be established by the president 70
have supervision of all requests Tor
appropriations and to cut everything
TO the lowest possible minimum.
Second-That an independent audit
Of all government receipts and expen-
ditures be established under an Off
Ger to be known as the c~omptroller-
general Of the United States.
Third-That the power of approx
ing appropriations be vested in one
house committee of t~hirty-five mem-
bers instead of having these matters
handled by several committees.
The bill providing for the budget
and the Independent audit were
agreed to unanimously by the special
committee. There will be a minority
report against giving all the appro-
priation powers to n committee.

UNIVERSITY HAS
BIG ATTENDANCE
Enrolment This Year More Than
Comes up to the Expectations
Of Faculty-.Many De-
partments Crowded.

While definite figures on attend
ance at the University Of Iowa this
year are not yet available, President
w. A. Jessup declared today thai en-
rollment apparently equaled the i'm
mense total which had been expected.
Every college and department is
crowded as never before; additional
instructors will be necessary in some
departments: in Iowa City enough
rooms have been found to care for the
students, but there is no surplus.
Engineering shows an increased en-
rollment this year Of forty per cent in
excess of the largest previous at
tendance. This college now becomes
the second in size in the university. In
pharmacy registration it is twenty per-
cent greater this year than last. Ac-
curate figures are not available IN
other colleges.
No department in the college of lib
eral arts has escaped the press OF
registration. Many are finding it diff
ficult to accommodate all applicants
for enrolment, but matters are being
worked out satisfactorily and all
students will be cared for, according
to Dean George F. Kay.
In the colleges of liberal arts, edu-
cation, graduate, and applied science
registration was so heavy that the
classes could not be held on Monday,
September 20, which vas announced
as the day on which the university
would open. Medicine, law, pharmacy,
and dentistry opened the first day of
the week, but the crowded colleges
waited until Tuesday to begin the
years work.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The SUI
preme court today had before it
final arguments in the case of the gov
eminent against the U. S. Steel cor.
poration, one of the greatest antitrust
suits in American history.
The issue, pending three years, was
postponed by the war, The matter
up for argument today is an appeal
of the government from an adverse
decision in lower courts. Dissolution
of the so called steel trust" is asked
by the United States.
Steel corporation attorneys planned
to ask a favorable decision on the
strength Of their concerns war rec
ord, claiming it is not a monopoly be-
cause during that period it produced
only about fifty per cent of the steel
and iron used.
Assistant Attorney General Ames
makes the point in briefs to be sub
United that this was due to the large
number of small companies previously
compelled to quite business which
were able to resume because of high
war prices.
