FORMER DECORAHIAN WRITES
EJ K. Bean Writes B. O. Marsh
Says He Can Never Forget B. O.
B. O. Marsh received a letter last
week from Ed K. Bean, a former
Decorah bpy, who for a number of
years past has made his home in
Cedar Rapids. He has been in the
railroad business since leaving De
corah and for a number of years an
engineer on the Rode Island. Ed
was a member of the band in De
corah years ago, and got his start
under Mr. Marsh. He is still “toot
ing” the trimbone, according to his
letter:
Cedar Rapids, lowa, May 10, 1922.
Mr. B. O. Marsh,
V* Marsh Music House,
Decorah, lowa.
Dear Friend:—Enclosed find clip
p ng taken from The Cedar Rapids
“Republican and Times” giving an
account of a concert at Coe College.
I have studied under the great
Prof. Lines and now we are personal
friends. He is to make me a short
visit soon. *
“Good deeds done” always come
back to one some time in life. For
my musical success I must surely
give you your share of credit, as it
was you who started me on the trom
bone in Decorah.
Last fall I made a trip with the
Des Moines Shrine Band to Kansas
City. This was a fifty piece band.
In my travels I hear much about the
Marsh Music House of DecoXah, so
I conclude it is still one of the best
and largest music houses in the state.
The band which played at Coe
College is a 50 piece band, including
six or eight band leaders from
Cedar Falls to the Mississippi. This
is our regular Shrine Band. Mr. Mc-
Creary, conductor of band at Cedar
Falls played in this band. Give my
regards to Mrs. Marsh and Will
Tobiason.
Your old friend,
EDWARD K. BEAN,
840 sth Avenue.

For more than thirteen years now the
AUTOMATIC Washer has been the choice
of thrifty housewives. When so many
thousand select the AUOTMATIC because
it is best suited to their needs and require
ments, and when, in a single month, 1628
housewives buy AUTOMATIC Washers in
one state alone, surely such figures afford
abundant proof of its popularity.

Cat Creek Field for March Produced
145,507 Barrels.
According to the Melstone, Mon
.ana, Messenger, the oil production
in the Cat Creek field for the month
of March, according to the reports
given state railroad commissioner
was 145,507 barrels.
The entire quantity transported
through the Mutual Oil Company’s
pipeline from the field to Winnett,
the shipping point, so far as the
railroad commission is informed, the
Montana Independent Pipe line com
pany’s line was not in operation. The
prevailing price on the field for crude
oil for the month of March was $1.90
per barrel. *
It will probably be good news to
the people of this vicinity to know
tha: Mr. Ed. K. Hovden, of De
corah, owns 9,000 acres of land join
ing this tract, which is the only
proven oil field in Montana, so far.
There are quite a number of people
around Decorah who have invested in
land in Montana who are wearing
a big snile now days.
GOLI BALLS COLLIDE
Odd Incident of a Game Played at
The following from the Marshall
town Times Republican will be read
with interest by Decorah golf en
thusiasts:
It is so seldom that a golf ball in
flight strikes a moving object that
incidents of flying golf balls striking
and killing birds are even quite un
common. It is most uncommon and
even rare for two golf balls to col
lide in air, and in this case would
not have been possible had the rule
of the order of play been observed.
However, two balls did collide in air
at Elmwood Country Club and no
player who has heard of the incident
ever heard of a similar one.
C. H. E. Boardman and C. E. Dar
ling were approaching the ninth
green. Boardman was down the hill
short of the green and Darling was
beynod the green. Boardman could
not see Darling. Both played their
approach shots at about the samp
time. The balls met in flight about
over the hole. Boardman’s ball
dropped close to the hole but Dar
ling’s ricochefed some distance awav.
VI ant Hans Anderson Auain
Waukon is figuring on another base
ball team for this season, according
to the Waukon Democrat, which has
the following to say:
A guarantee list for maintaining a
ball club here this summer was cir
culated last week and a goodly num
ber of signatures was secured. The
plan to utilize home players with the
addition of a salaried pitcher, and a
longing for Hans Anderson or Or
wold of Decorah. A promise is also
made to get some tight wad mana
gers who will be able to hold down
the lid in the way of expense. In
that case there will be considerable
more backing for a team.
