DIES MONIES. Iowa

For WEEK ENDING july 8, 1901
Dies MONIES, Iowa.
The weather was exceedingly hot
from the lst to the 9th, the heated per-
iod eliminating in maximum tempera-
lures from 100 to l04 degrees at numer.
GUS stations on the 4th inst. The in
tensity of the heat was relieved to
some extent by local thunderstorms
and wind squalls, from the LIST to 4th,
and numerous stations in the south
western and northern districts report
more than the normal amount of rain
fall. Probably three-fourths of the
state received fair amount of mois-
ture, but the intense heat and high
winds caused rapid evaporation, and
the effects of dry weather are noted in
the pastures, gardens and grain fields.
In some sections the oats crop has
been prematurely ripened, and it is
probable that the quality of spring
wheat and barley has been somewhat
impaired by excessive heat.
Good progress has been made in
haying and the conditions have been
favorable for securing an excellent
quality of hay. Oats and barley are
being cut, and spring wheat is about
ready for harvest.
The corn crop is generally in good
condition, and the bulk of it has been
laid by, with clean fields and fair pros
poets. In limited portions of the
southeast district the reports state
that the corn has already suffered some
damage from heat and drouth; and
these reports may be taken to signify
that it is near the danger line, but may
be restored by timely rainfall.
The pastures, early potatoes, garder
truck and berries have thus far suffer
ed the worst effects of the hot winds
The apple crop has declined in condi
ton as the result of intense heat.

The Fourth.

Our people celebrated the national
holiday last Thursday in various ways,
many going to Atlantic, some picnicing
in the country and others remaining at
home. 1t was very quiet here in town
during the whole day. The heat was op-
pressive. Our firemen returned from
Atlantic tired out, but feeling repaid for
their trouble. No other team was there
to compete, so they got prizes amount
ing to $685. The Atlantic team ran
with them in the races. In the straight
away hose race our team made it in %
Is and Atlantic in q 2-5. Chef Jones
and Will Wilson won the coupling con-
test. The ladder-cliGbing contest was
won by Carson Brockway fret and Will
Wilson second Cheit Vermilya won
the chefs race, beating Atlantic's chief.
d. L. Freeman was elected president Of
the Western Iowa Firemen's Association.

A New Court House.

The subject Of building a new court
house lie occasionally mentioned by
those interested in county matters.
Those who have observed know that the
time will come before many years when
new court house will be almost a me-
cessity. The time is now here when ad
ditional vault room is required for keep
ing the records OF the county. These
records are very valuable. They must
be preserved. Now some of them have
to be carried from one part of the court
house to another and even then suffi.
cient vault room cannot be found. The
board has been considering whether
they will build more vault room or
whether they will simply build new
court house while they are at it. We do
not think they have yet concluded what
should be done. or course building
could proceed only in legal way. We
believe it would require a vote of ap-
proval by the taxpayers before the
county could be bonded for a new court
house.
A new court house would cost about
$4,000. That would build a good one
with plenty Of room both for offices and
vaults,plenty Of light and accommodation
for all our county business. Bonds for
this could be foated at say per cent.
This would be l,400 Of interest per
year. A one mill levy for this purpose
would raise $500 per year. This
would pay the interest and wipe out the
principal in twelve or fifteen years.
One mill tax means about one cent per
acre on farm land in the county. The
man with a 100 acre farm would have to
pay about SLIGO year on this.
1t is a choice between rather expen.
sive repairs which will have to be made
soon on the old building. and a new
building later or new building soon.
The old building is not creditable
one to the county. As neighboring
paper recently said, it is mot palatial."
The fact is people make fun Of it. It is
about the poorest court house in this
part OF the state. We ought to have a
better one. Whether the time has now
arrived to build better one we do not
know. The REPUBLICAN would be
pleased to publish few brief articles
on this subject from the ax-payers. Our
columns are open for discussion of the
question.

The report that school would COM
mence August 10, which was Industrious
ly circulated, is incorrect. 1t is ex.
pected to commsnce the usual time. the
first or the second week in September
AS the fair is the first week in Septem-
Der the chances are school will not
commence till September 9. Some
building will likely be done in another
summer. 1t is not yet definitely de.
termined what it will be. 1t is likely,
however, that additional room will be
built on to the smaller school building.
The larger building will either have to
be repaired or rebuilt.
