GIVEN HAPPY SURPRISE
Mr.. and Mrs. p. Queal, of Canoe
Township Given Big Surprise
Last Wednesday.

Last Wednesday evening as Mr.
and Mrs. p. Queal of Canoe town.
ship, were enjoying a quiet evening
their neighbors drove into their yard
and soon had possession of their
house. They came with well filled
baskets and about midnight a feast
was spread. To say the family was
taken by surprise is putting it mildly,
The company left for their homes in
the wee small hours of the morning
after a most enjoyable evening.
The following letter was read TO
Mr.. and Mrs. Queal which shows the
high esteem in which this estimable
family is held:
DEBORAH, Iowa.
March /, 1922.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Queal.
Dear Friends:
We, the whole community, are
handing you this letter, as we all
meet here tonight for the same pur-
pose. And it is not really a joyous
meeting either. This is a farewell"
and we all feel sad when we say
farewell" for we know that means
parting, sometimes for long time,
and sometimes never to meet again.
But, as we have gathered here to-
night, we find it more convenient
way to express ourselves and our
feelings towards you, Mr.. and Mrs.
Queal, in a letter, than each eN-
pressing our separate thanks and
appreciation for we all have surely
appreciated you folks, and as the
time of your leaving our midst i
drawing very near (tOO near we
feel that we want to spend this eve
ming with you in the old Queal home
where we've spent many Z pleasant
hour and have enjoyed the fine muse
which the Queal children used 70
render. On, those happy times,
when our loved ones are all around
us in our homes. But how quickly
those precious times speed by and
leave US old and alone and longing
for our children.
Is il a wonder that we give up
our old homestead and choose above
all else TO be with our children, a.
you folks are doing now.
We all know it is your desire 70
be with your children, so for that
reason we should not feel sorry for
what is to your choosing and hap
piness. But we can't help feeling
a pang of sadness, as we are looslng
a respected family, good neighbor,
and a good service at our telephone
switch.
We often wondered how in the
world Mrs. Queal could have all the
patience to tend to the various calls,
and gently and patiently help Us
through. Never a cross word, or
impatient groan was given US, by
her Cor the family as long as they
had the switch.
We women who have our house
duties to perform, know what there
is to do without having a telephone
switch TO tend, and Mrs. Queal is
not in first class health either. And
we also know that many a time she
had something cooking or frying on
the stove or many a time leave her
TO answer our calls and all
without complaint.
This is what we all say :. of our
friend Mrs. Queal.
We all say our heartiest thanks
to her and family for all the good
30 kindly rendered Us.
Hoping we may see them again,
and wishing them good luck" on
their trip 10 Wyoming and success
in their undertakings.
We have here a little token Of
remembrance 10 express our appre-
citation and esteem. With best
wishes from all present.
Your Friends.

POWER COMPANIES MOVE REGARDED AS HIGHLY IMPORTANT
Reflects Determination to h. sist That It Alone Be AL lowed to Buy Cor
 gas Plant
By Associated Press

Washington, May 22.-An offer to comply with terms of the contract between the war department and the Alabama Power company when Its plant at Gorgas was enlarged to supply power for the nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals during the war. has been made to Secretary Weeks by representatives of the company here. The offer is contained in a proposal to pay s25o0,ooe for the governments interest in the plant and transmission line from Gorgas to Muscle Shoals.
 Notice that the proposal had been received was given the Senate agri- cultural committee today by Secre- tary Weeks, following the examina- ttion of Hugh L. Cooper of New York, civilian engineer adviser to the war department: P. NJ. Downey, vice president Of the Pacific Gas and Electric company of San Francisco; and the delivery of a statement from the department of agriculture out lining the position of that department with respect to the various proposals for development of the Muscle Shoals nitrate and power projects.
 The Secretarys letter to Chairman Norris was read to the committee, but beyond advising the senators that the proposal had been received. ft did not name the company. Repre- sentatives of the corporation, how ever, said that the offer was made pursuant to the terms of the contract, giving them the exclusive rights on the Gorgas plant in the event it was ever. disposed of by the government.
 Highly Important
 Senators said later they regarded the move of the power company as highly important in its effect on in- svestigation made in Congress of Muscle Shoals matters. First. they said, it reflected the determination of the company to insist that it alone be allowed, under the contract. to buy the Gorgas plant and to oppose its delivery to Henry Ford as one of the properties he specifically asked title to in the event his pro- posal for purchase and lease of the Muscle Shoals projects is accepted by Congress
 W. B. Mayo, chief of Mir. Ford's engineer staff, has insisted before } the Congress committee that the . GorEas plant is essential to Mir. Z Ford's plan of operation at the 2 Shoals and cannot be eliminated from the proposals submitted by the De- troit manufacturer. Officials of the power company have stated their privilege and advised the congress , have the contract obligations met bJ tho government.

 Suggests Board of Experts
 The only way for Congress to act without stumping it's toe" Cooper declared, would be to have the fed eral waterpower commission appoint a board of five electrical and b1si- ness experts 10 go to Muscle shoals and make 8 complete check up.r Their report would give Congress the information to enable it to reach a solution of the problem, the witness said, adding that an appropriation of $50 900 should be made for that pur- pose.
 "In that way.e Mr. Cooper added, Congress could act within six to nine months"
 Secretary Wallace. in an authorized statement presented. said Dr. Richard Holman said the agriculture depart ment favored any development, by private or government control. wnich would insure the use of Muscle Shoals in making fertilizers.

 P. Nj. Downey. vice president of the Pacific Gas and Electric company, testified that he had made investiga- tion of the power projects at Muscle Shoals at the instigation of Secretary Hoover and had reported to the Commerce Secretary and Secretary Weeks his opinion that the power development should be made in the interests of the public rather tham those of an individual locally situ- ated.
