csE BIDDER f5a DITCH
BONDS.
Local Attorney Makes BID Cen-
ditiOnally on all Legal Pro.
Cstdinas So Far Taken.

Cstdinss So Far Taken.
There was only one bidder
present yesterday when County
Auditor Innes offered for sale
the S21, 300 worth of Pottawat-
samie-Harrison county drainage
ditch bonds, and his bid was a
conditional one that meant the
elapse of considerable time be-
fore the money could be turned
Into the ditch fund. j. j. Shea
was the bidder. He offered to
ltake all the bonds at par and
accrued interest on the condi-
tioa that it could be satisfac-
torily shown that all of the
|procee llngs authorizing their
issue were legal. This meant
the delay Of procuring a legal
investigation and opinion by
some lawyer of sufficient prom
inelce to satisfy Mr.. Shea's
clients, and the immediate pro-
spect of getting any money
INFO the ditch fund appeared to
be exceedingly slim.
During the day, however, two
loo people came into the office
an | took all but two OF the one
| year bonds. L. P. Nelson, y
loo Il milknaan, took the first
$50 worth, and Mrs. Mary
ISw anson subscribed for the
Other 81, SEQ. These takings
relieved the situation and put
more into the fund than is real
ly needed at present, there be-
ing but one warrant drawn
against it, that cf Contractor
Smith for s;TGO.
F,o.n a financier's standpoint
these bonds We're the most UNI
desirable OF the lot, us they fall
due in one ye;r. The remain
der fall due in from two to ten
years, making a longer, and for
that reason only a mora dasir-
able inv estment. 1t is not be
level thu. the sale of tn &c
will intes','sYe W.T. the bid
made by MI. Shea.

]tion; of 500 each. They wore
drawn thus for the purpose of
encolragins 10: u Buyers to
taxi them, people who wish t.
MAKE small and safe invest
me 1T; paying a fair rate OF
interest. The interest is 6 pei
cent, and the bonds are almost
as negotiable as bank notes.
The question of their legality
hinges entirely on the proceed
ings of the board of county
supervisors, and the record
shows that everything in con-
nection with the establishment
of the ditch was done in a per
fectly legal way. Nonpareil.

At ii0bn today two hufidi'ytl
teachers had enrolled at the
Second Ward building. Three
section meetings were held from
8 to 10 a. m. Ia the high school
section Miss Fisher of Logan
read a very interesting paper
on Rhetorical work in High
School. This paper was discus
sed by Miss RoXie Peterson of
Dunlap. Mr.. j. M. ireland gave
! suggestive paper on High
School pupils out of school.
Mrs. Wilson of Mo. Valley
and Miss Maude Logan of Mon
aamin read papers before the
Primary section. Mrs. Wilson
exhibited some work that her
pupils did as seat work or busy
work. Mis- Brandriff was
leader of this section and a very
interesting section it proved to
De. They could scarcely adjourn
for the regular meeting.
In the Gl'ammer Grade and
Rural Teachers section Mrs.
Charlotte w. Eastman, of Cedar
Calls WAS the leader. This
Meeting could not b. o.a ervise

There are many Indications
that a bill for q state constabu-
larry will BE- introduced and
quite strongly supported by pc
tition and a special lobby in the
legislature of Iowa this winter.
The principal claim made in
behalf of this form of policy is
chat the liquor laws Of Iowa will
better enforaal
While it is true that a much
better enforcement of the mulct
and plarmlcy laws Of Iowa
than there is at present, is very
desirable and should be had,
yet we are not satisfied by the
experience of those that have
tried the state constabulary,
that the law would be any BET
ter enforced than at present,
and we are satisfied that a
system of black mail and graft
would become such a part of
the state constabulary as to
disgust the majority Of the
lpeople. The Observer believes
that the better way is to educate
the people so that each COM
immunity will insist on law being
complied with strictly, a reform
from the inside, instead of an
enforced compliance by pressure
from the outside, that is by
state consta5les. A state cor
stabulary is not needed, but
every individual should be
5aught to respect law, and to
assist honestly and earnestly in
enforcing law and in respecting
law. Observer.

Letter IRON ti.e West
Hillyard, Washington,
Nov. 10th, 1908.
Friend Bob:

go for good company, he came
to Hillyard for a visit. We al
most talked him blind; and as
the shades of evening fell, the
savory fumes of cooking supper
soothed our nerves. Jesse stay
ed for supper and said he en-
.joyed it, and | believe he did,
for we cooked it, and know it
was good; he was so we'll pleas
ed that this (Monday) evening
he came back, and this time he
brought father Wilcke with him.
We let Bro. Roger do most of
the cooking this time, so now
Jesse knows that we are both
good cooks, and we are, but see
here, Bob, for goodness sake, for
the good of our future peace of
mind, don't mention this fact
to the folks at home.
Mr.. Wilcke looks we'll and
seems to be happy; he common
ces work at wood carving, for
the Washington Mill Co., tomor-
row, at IS cents per hour to
start with, and if satisfactory all
around, the job is a permanent
one; no wonder he is in good
cheer, is it?

dcnce necessary to become one)
has been telling US of those
swarm chinook winds" that are
coming in the winter here, mel
ting an entire snow off in a sim
gle night. One started for here
on the 18th, but the mcasely
thing caught cold crossing the
coast range and gave us 10 in
ches of snow; it showed every
might last week but one, and all
day Sunday, with a high wind;
people said it was something
unusual, and as everything is
unusual, even consistency, out
here, we take them at their
word; and now as the snow is
here, we are quietly waiting for
one of those warm winds to
come and melt it off. Had MGR
curry been around zero last Sat-
urday, our storm would have
rivaled a Kansas blizzard, and
as it was, all week, a person
needed to be wrapped in some
thing more substantial than the
arms of Morpheus.
In my last forgot to mention
one incident. Halloween night
some of the youngsters thought
to have some sport, and did
some of their tricks common in
civilized communities, but on
Monday judge informed them
that one so engaged owed the
county $27.50, and as they were
no doubt tired, they could rest
in the county Jail for six days
Family standing and past good
records does not count in this
wild country; but mayhap civil
lization will come here in good
time.
One Sunday morning while
enroute to the city, we noted ar
incident that was quite pleasing
The director of the "Lyons'
School for boys entered the

his boys, all of whom secured
seats; as the car neared the city
every seat was filled with pass
engers, and as others came in
these boys voluntarily surren
\ dered their seats until every one
of the fourteen were standing
and they did it with grace ane
alacrity that spoke volumes fol
