SOUTHWEST IOWA PLAN.
DO Not Want Soldiers Returned by
Way of Dcs Moines.

Creston, Aug. 11.-The Gazette prints
the following: THE people of south
west Iowa are very much interested in
the plan to have the Fifty-first regi-
ment come home in a body at the ex-
pense OF the stae. but Dies Moines as
the regiments destination is not to the
liking of this part of the state. A great
majority of the e. items would like very
much to have the boys come home in
a body that the people may in some
manner show their appreciation of the
valiant work of Iowa soldiers on Phil
ippine battle fields, but there is gem
eral impression that Des Moines is not
the whole thing, but that other cities
deserve some of the privileges.
The people of this part of the state
object to their soldier boys being taken
to the state capital and thus suffering
unnecessary delay in reaching home.
Soldiers who have been away from rel
atives and friends almost eighteen
months will hardly like the idea of be-
ing carried past their homes simply
that their regiment may formally dis
band in Des Moines, and such a plan
will suit only a small portion of the
regiment. 1t is thought by hundreds of
people that the regiment should be
brought to Iowa at as early a date as
possible after being mustered out and
allowed to go home by the most direct
route. without unnecessary delay.
The plan proposed by southwest Iowa
is to bring the regiment from San
Francisco to Council Bluffs at the ex-
pense of the state. There the regiment
could be welcomed home by Governor
Shaw and the people. Council Bluffs
is the home of the company and that
company should be left there. The re-
mainder of the regiment could reach
home direct over the Burlington as the
Companies are from the following
places: Glenwood. Red Oak, Shenan-
doah, Villisca, Corning, Creston, Bed
ford, Oskaloosa and Dies Moines. Thus
could the boys come direct to their
homes after being landed on their ma
tive soil at Council Bluffs and not be
delayed two or three days that Des
Moines may have the honor Of welcom-
ing the boys home.
Southwest Iowa people favor this
plan and Governor Shaw will be petit
toned to have the different companies
taken home direct from Council Bluffs.
This is the feasible plan and one which
will please the Iowa soldiers and their
friends who are now anxiously awaiting
the Homecoming
