Session Is
Competent
List of
From Monday's Dally.
With an attendance of nearly 200
and an enrollment of 250, thirty larger
than the total enrollment of last year,
the Wapello County Teachers' insti
tute opened its week's sessions this
morning. The opening session began
promptly at 8 o'clock. The special ser
vices which marked the opening morn
ing were chsftel exercises conducted
by Rev. John Has tie, pastor of the
Finley avenue Baptist church, a solo
by Miss Alice Inskeep of Cedar Rapids
and singing by the members of the in
stitute.
For the opening day the attendance
is considered as remarkably good. One
reason for the excellent interest being
taken in the institute this year is the
,efficient corps,of instructors that has
"been secured. These are as follows:
W. N. Clifford of Council Bluffs, in
dustrial geography. Mr. Clifford was
one of ihe instructors at last year's in
stitute and he has been gladly welcom
ed by all of the teachers who were in
attendance last year. The day has
been one of pleasurable renewing of
Old acquaintanceship for Mr. Clifford.
Mrs. Hattie M. Mitchell of Des
Moines, primary plans—mathematics.
Mrs. Mitchell is said to have more in
stitute engagements than any other
educator in the state and Miss Emma
Nye, county superintendent, feels that
she has been fortunate in securing
Mrjf. Mitchell for the Wapello County
institute.
H. M. Gage of Fairfield, history, eco
nomics. Mr. Gage has just returned
from St. Paul, Minn., where he has
been lecturing. While he is not as
well known in the state educational
circles as some of the other instruc
tors, be is rapidly gaining prominence.
W. Samson of Cedar Falls,
School Management. Mr. Samson was.
here several years ago as an instruc
tor at one of the institutes in this
county, and has been secured again
this year at the urgent request of a»
large number of the teachers, who at
tended the institute at that time, and
also because of his excellent reputa
tion as an instructor in the line of
work wl)ich he teaches.
H. C. Hollingsworth of Albia, pen
manship. Mr. Hollingsworth is one of
the best known educators of the state
His presence here is of particular in
terest to Ottumwa teachers, as the
system which he teaches, the Palmer
system of writing, was introduced in
Ottumwa schools last spring.
George E. Martin of Nebraska City
Neb., picture study and reading. Mr
Martin is taking up two phases of
school work which are novelties in
Wapello county institutes, that of read
ing for intermediate grades and pic
ture study.
Miss Alice Inskeep of Cedar Rapids
music and Miss Calla M. Hand of Ot
tumwa, physiology, are both too well
known to Ottumwans and residents of
this county to require any further
mention.
W. F. Barr of Des Moines, school
law, pedagogy, will not arrive until
the latter part of the week. The oth
er instructors are all present today.

MERCURY DOES A•
FEW ODD STUNTS
DROPS FORTY-FOUR POINT8 IN
LITTLE OVER HALF AS
MANY HOURS
From Monday's Dally.
For weather, real weather of all
kinds and shapes, there is no state aft
er all which quite equals Iowa. Satur
day it was hot. That is a mild way of
expressing the then state of the atmos
phere, too. Sunday morning, well, it
wasn't cold, but it came a long way
from resembling the furnace-like heat
of the day before, and last night the
temperature dropped until the mer
cury in Weather Observer E. E. Liv
ingston's degree recorder, came to a
stop within fifteen points of the free/,
ing place.
These are facts. The figures in the
Observer's book show that, the above
outlined course of events was just ex
actly what happened. The maximum
temperature recorded for Saturday was
91 degrees above zero, while during
the night last night the mercury fell
as low as 47 degrees above.
The temperature today has warmed'
up quite a little, but is still very com
fortable when comparel with the swel
tering heat which the residents of Ot
tumwa and the surrounding country
have been compelled to bear during
the week that has just passed

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
for Week Ending Monday, August 20,
1906.
Des Moines, Aug. 21.—The past
week was characterized by extremely
high temperatures by day and warm
nights, and the oppressive conditions
were intensified by a high percentage
of humidity. The rainfall was unusu
ally variable in amount, resulting
from local showers. The largest
amount reported was 3.65 inches at
Des Moines, most of which fell on the
morning of the 16th. On the evening
of the 19th a heavy downpour was re
ported at Decorah, causing damaging
floods. Generally, .the rainfall was
light, though in the larger part of the
state the moisture in the soil is suf
ficient for the present needs of grow
ing cropB. For the corn crop it was
the most favorable week of the sea
son, and that great staple has made
satisfactory progress toward maturity.
For the state at large the crop is as
well advanced as usual at the c]pse of
the second decade in August. The
stand is above the average, and the
stalks are heavily eared. Reports in
dicate that in early planted fields the
ears are passing beyond the roasting,
ear stage. Good progress has been
made ib stacking and threshing oats
and wheat from the shock. Fall plow
ing is in progress. Early apples are
being harvested, and the yield is above
the product of receiit years. The min
or crops are doing ^11.

HARRIMAN LINES ARE MAKING
EFFORT TO KEEP THE TRAF
FIC TOWARD WEST
At the recent meeting of the traffic,
officials of the Harriman lines in Chi-
Extensive Advertising.
The Harriman lines propose not
only to advertise California and San
Francisco more than ever before, but
they propose to do the advertising
from San Francisco. From the ashes
the literary bureaus of these lines are
telling the story of the city's recon
struction, Immediately after the flre
the Southern Pacific equipped two
photograph cars in San Francisco with
gasoline "scout" cars to accompany
them, and began the task of photo
graphing all points of interest In Cal
ifornia and along the line between
Portland, Omaha and New Orleans. A
collection of advertising material val
ued at $75,000 has been destroyed
already one-half of the photographs
^ave been replaced. At the same time
an illustrated folder, "San Francisco
Imperishable," with maps arid pictures
showing that only a small part of San
Francisco's area had been burned over,
that the earthquake damage was rela
tively insignificent. tha't the wat'er
front was Intact, was sent to the four
corners of the earth—and to all inter
mediate stations. Three editions of
this folder have been issued, and a
fourth is in the press, with a total is
sue of 250,000 copies.
Progress Is Noted.
At the same time a weekly bulletin
of San Francisco's reconstruction was
begun. It was named "Progress."
Bach Saturday it carries the news of
the city's growth to three thousand of
the leading newspapers of the United
States, besides all of the big railway
offices, etc. To each number of "Pro
gress" at least one prominent Califor
nia citizen has contributed articles
from the hopeful point of view, the
list including the governor, the mayor
of San Francisco, a United State sen
ator, presidents of universities, inter
nal revenue collectors, presidents of
nearly all commercial organizations
harbor commissioners, etc. Thousands
of clippings taken from "Progress" by
eastern papers have been received by
th6 Southern Pacific passenger depart
ment.
Three hundred and fifty employes
of the Southern Pacific commercial
agency in the east were instructed to
talk good cheer about California imme
diately after the disaster. In every
Southern Pacific eastern office is
large picture of San Francisco taken
after the earthquake and before the
flre, showing the distruction to have
been caused by fire.
This winter's limited trains to Cali
fornia—the Overland limited and the
Golden State limited—are to be ex
tensively advertised with appropria
tions of at. least $50,000 each by the
Harriman lines and connections.
Elaborate Works of Art.
The "Koad of a Thousand Wonders'
probably the most elaborate work of
color printing ever issued, 45,000
copies of which were destroyed by the
flre, will be at once reissued by the
Southern Pacific. Describing the line
from Los Angeles to Portland, it is of
particular value in inducing tourist
travel in connection therewith and be
ginning in September, the Southern
Pacific will begin a year's campaign in
twenty-one leading eastern magazines
in advertising the attractions of Cali

Wonders," The expense of this one
campaign will be $75,000.
Simultaneously, a similar book, "The
Overland Route," showing the way
from Omaha to San Francisco. is being
printed with the same beautiful color
illustrations. This book, too, will ha
extensively advertised so that all who
ride must read. One hundred thou
sand booklets descriptive of every part
of the state have been printed since
the fire, and another hundred thousand
will be printed within sixty days. The
two color hooks, and indeed all others,
arc being engraved by San Francisco
engravers and printed by San Francis
co printers. The eastern magazine ad
vertising designs are being made by

If the big eastern railway succeed
in diverting- any part of the California
tourist travel from the Golden State
to Cuba thiB winter it will not be for
lack of determined opposition on the
part of the Harrlman lines. To pre
serve this business and keep the Pa
cific Coast from suffering because of
the calamity liar' on the one hand and
the keen eastern hunter of passenger
traffic on the other, the Southern Pa
cific and the system of which it is a
part are waging a battle unique in the
history of railroad publicity campaigns.
