Rock Island to Buy Another Road
A report is in circulation that the
Rock Island railroad is planning to
take over the Minneapolis and St.
Louis holdings from Storm Lake to
Minneapolis, from Winthrop to Wat
ertown, from Gowrie to Des Moines
and from Estherville to Gowrie.
The official heads of the Rock Is
landhave gone over the track in the
vicinity of Estherville and will be
expected to make final report soon.
These branches would work in
we'll with the Rock Island roads
through that territory and would ac-
quire for them one of the richest
agricultural sections of the west.
The change would make Estherville
one Of the leading divisions on the
Rock Island lines. The capacity of
the round house would have to be
almost doubled and the office force
greatly increased.

Should Plan. Apple Trees

Should Plan. apple Trees
A. X. Campbell scheme of plant
ing an apple tree II every unused
corner in Iowa :. caring fruit.
1t is being widely commented on
throughout the state. Mr.. Camp
bell urges the planting of apple
trees in lot corners, along the park
ing of sidewalks, and every place
that it is possible to put a tree.
He tells of one DutChcss tree in
his yard that yielded so heavily
this year as to be worth $55 in ap-
pie production at just one half the
retail price for the Dutchc5s Mt the
groceries. 1t has averaged from $40
to $12 worth of apples each year,
on an average, for twenty-eigh years
and fifty trees to the acre is about
the way they should be planted to
But miscellaneous planting a CV-
cry nook and corner is what Mr.
Campbell urges, saying that Iowa
could in that way produce millions
of bushels of apples more than IS
raised now from ground not used
In addition it would add greatly to
the beauty of the landscape to have
them generally planted along the
highways that are not at all utilized.
Plant an apple tree, plant a dozen
if you have space, and thus be a
benefactor-make apples possible
for the poor Of the city who cannot
buy them because of prevailing
high prices. Some day we will do
just those things to help humanity,
aside from the greedy desire to make
a dollar out of everything.

diamond. He decided to search at
night, thinging the dazzling gem
would disclose it's hiding place. Still
no diamond. Then he remembered
an old fable he had once read. 1t
was an Arabian Nights tale about
a bird eating a gem. He decided
one OF the chickens had picked the
stone out of the setting and that
he had not scratched his hand on
the wire at all.
So he killed the $50 chickens and
saved their gizzards. In the 51st
craw Walbourne felt a sharp stone.
He held it TO the light. 1t was his

Stump Hurled 300 Feet i'm Air
1t was three O'Clock Friday after
noon and all serene at the home of
Geo. Vending on the Lewis road
near Atlantic. Mrs. Vending was
on the porch tending some flowers.
Standing just inside the door of the
dining room was a neighbor, Mrs.
Glow. Suddenly there was a rumb-
ling roar such as might come from
the mouth of a giant cannon, and a
huge piece of stump, the size of a
mans body and weighing fully two
hundred pounds, came hurting
through the air, over the top of a
nearby tree and crashed through the
roof of the porch, breaking out a
window and showering the dining
room with glass, boards from the
porch roof and pieces of the win
dow sash.
A workman was blasting stumps
at the northwest corner of Sunnyside
Park. He had placed twenty pounds
of dynamite, it is said, under the
stump of giant elm. When it ex-
ploded the charge filled the air with
great pieces of the stump. They
came to earth in every direction,
some of them long distances from
where the blast was fired. Mrs
Glow was looking out of the window
and saw the stump coming toward
the house. She covered her face
with her hands and turned from the
window She was pelted with glass.
A piece of board from the broken
roof was hurled through the window
and struck her a fearful blow
across the back, almost knocking
her down. The dining room looked
like those homes in the war zone.
Broken glass, pieces of board and
splinters of wood Uttered the floor.

The curtain on the window was car

dow sash went out. Both Mrs.
Vending and Mrs. Glow received
a nervous SHOCK from their exper-
fence.

Tomorrow the battle of the bal lots will take place and Ill Alaska the voters will have an opportunity to express their preference for dele gate to congress, attorney general, territorial senator, representatives and road commissioners. The polls will open at 8 o'clock a. m. and close at ' D. m. An aggressive campaign has been conducted throughout the territory by Dan A. Sutherland, Re- publican, and Geo. B. Grigsby, Demo- crat for delegate. They visited and addressed audiences in all of the di, visions, excepting the Second, and as both were former residents of Nome the result from there will be watched with interest. Residents of the Second claim Sutherland will carry it by at least two to one. In the first division, National Commit teeman J. c. Mcbride has conducted Sutherland's campaign and the lat est reports from there are that the Republican nominee will have a sub stantial majority. The Fourth claims Sutherland will carry it by between 400 and 800. In this division the Republicans are likely to carry every precinct even including the Democratic stronghold of Val dez. Anchorage, which the opposi- ton is banking upon, is sure to re- turn majority of at least 100 for Sutherland, according to authentic advices received today This is un- doubtedly a Republican year and it is up to the voters of Cordova to do their full duty tomorrow and cast their ballots for a delegate to con- gress who can work in harmony with President Harding and Re publican administration

CAPT.LATRR0P PREDICTS HARD
 GOING OUTSIDE

"The man who has a good job or interests in Alaska, had better stick to them, for it appears there will be hard winter outside"
 This statement is credited to Capt, A. F. Lathrop of Cordova by the Jul neau Capital, which interview the captain when he was en route to the westward last week.
 Summaring conditions in Seattle Capt. Lathrop said there are many men seeking jobs, and the outlook is that many more will be wanting work before the winter is over. As an illustration one mining company of Alaska has had a hard time se- curing men during the summer, and when it advertised for 25 men got responses from about ten and date of sailing to destination. This week a group of men booked for the WOfh III tHe lnlle dllu we're Sldu to pay their own fare.
 "The political outlook is as favor able as one could wish," said Capt. Lathrop," and it is now a settled certainty that the Republican party will sweep the country. Every ele- ment and every deduction supports this eurmise."

REPUBLICANS
 ARE PLEDGED
 HELP ALASKA


 crats during the past four years Of the Wilson administration, will be remembered by the Republicans upon their return to power next year, and in the reconstruction legis- lation of the next congress in the interests of Alaska, the Washington delegation in congress will play the dominant part, according to Con- gressman John F. Miller, who has represented the First division Of Washington in congress during the past four years. Congressman Mill Ter is a candidate for reelection to congress.
 "The Washington delegation in congress, every members of which is sturdy and firm friend of Alas ka, is in a position of power to as sist the territory" MT. Miller said
 in an interview of the Alaska Dis patch The Seattle congressman, who spent two years in the North during the "gold rush is particular ly well informed on conditions in the North and is alive to the needs and the opportunities of the ter ritory. He is member of the house committee on military affairs, which has charge of all appropria tions for the military service and all general military legislation.
 "The Washington delegation head ed by Senator Wesley l.. Jones, who is the ranking member of the com mittee on commerce, and a mem- Der of the committees on appropria- tions, fisheries, territories, and the irrigation and recitation of arid lands has never been in better pO- sition to assist Alaska than at the present time," Mr. Miller continued. 'In addition to Senator Jones, Sen ator PoindeXier, one of the leaders of the Republicans in the senate, is a member of the committee on naval affairs, the committee on public lands. DostOffices and post roads. in terstate commerce on mines and mining. Then. there is Representa- tive Albert Johnson, who is chair man of the committee on immigra- ton. and a member of the com mittee on territories, which has charge of all purely Alaskan legis- lation. Besides these, Representative John W. Summrs of Walla Walla, who represents the Fourth Washing ton district, is a member of the committee on roads and of public lands, and Judge J. Stanley Webster, of Spokane, representing the Fifth Washington district is on the com mittee on interstate and foreign commerce. Everyone of these mem- bers are on committees which handle legislation of great interest and con- CcrN to Alaska. If these men are returned to congress by their re-  spective constituencies, the welfare of Alaskan legislation in congress will be virtually assured.'
 There is a movement on foot in Washington to unify and consoli- date the various governmental bu- reaus and departments that are seeking to govern Alaskan Congress- man Miller stated. Any plan for the government of the territory that will bring about a more eff cient and responsible administra- ti0n of the territory's business, which i5 supported by Delegate Sutherland, who will undoubtedly be elected from Alaska, will have the support of the Washington congressional del egation, he stated.
