amount Of warrants issued and
their number or amount regu-
lated by the income from the
tax levy and othersources, take
for instance, and now quote
from the report issued by the
auditor in 1903, the bridge war
rants issued for 1899 was
$26445.sO, 1900, $33866.62, 1901
$57, 094.95, this was in excess
of the income and probably
twice to three times the amount
of the levy. would therefore
recommend that in the future
all warrants should show the
total amount of the levy, the
amount expended up to date,
and balance unexpended. While
Judging from your record of
1902 of only having issued
$9442.15, | have the utmost
commence IN your board That
you will regulate your expend-
itures by your income, | think
you should be informed con-
tinually as to your resources
and it will preventa recurrence
of the present condition with
its disastrous results.
At the time | closed this ex-
animation in July no inventory
had been taken of the school
books at the various agencies,
if the present intention Of the
board is carried out to so back
two years of the present aud
itor, the records in this fund
can be checked up more intelli-
gently right up to date.
All of which is respectfully
submitted.

DID YOU GET YOUR BREAD?
Enough Flour Ssld Is Make Every
Man, Woman and Child For
ty.five z.caycs Of Bread

rev people appreciate what
the cutting os flour prices
among the merchants of Mis-
souri, Valley during the past
week has meant.
The weekly report of the
Valley Mills, issued today,
gives some interesting facts.
Last Monday morning the mill
had 1000 sacks of flour in stock.
When the war commenced
Tuesday, the surplus disap-
peared i'm a few hours and the
mill has been taxed to its ut
most capacity to keep up with
the orders ever since. During
the week ending this noon the
mill has turned out l44O sacks
of flour weighing SO pounds to
the sack. This weeks output,
added to the stock on hand
Monday morning brings the
total up to 2440 sacks or 1922
900 pounds. When one takes
into consideration the fact that
almost every grocery merchant
in Missouri Valley had a stock
of flour on hand it appears an
enormous amount of flour has
been sod since last Tues
day. Of the total weeks out
put, the local mill had but
twenty sacks of flour in stock
a. noon today.
If one is mathematicaly in
clined it is an easy matter to
ascertain the fact that enough
Missouri Valley manufactured
-four has been sold during
the past four and one half days
to make in the neighborhood of
forty-five loaves of bread for
every man, woman, and child
residing in this city, allowing
one loaf and a half for every
pound of flour.

NORTH WESTERN RECOGNIZES
THEIR UNION.
Car Men Given increase in Pay
and Their Union Is Officially
RcCOQn:zed.

After a prolonged conference
between a grievance committee
representing the workmen in
the car and locomotive shops
along the North Western sys-
tenn and the Chicago officials of
the road, an agreement was
reached yesterday whereby the
company gives the Union off
cial recognition, adjusts GER
tain working conditions in the
shops, providing for a Union
Steward in every shop and in
creases the pay Of the men
from l to II cents per hour.
About a month ago the griev-
ance committee presented a re-
quest for an increase Of 3 cents
per hour. The increase in pay
means an additional expense of
100000 to the Company.

COURT MAY ACT SOON IN
DITCH INJUNCTION
Judge Green Says He Can Hear
Case On October 9Th.

Judge Green yesterday advis-
ed the Clerk of the Pottawat-
tamie District Court he will
hold a session of Court in Coun-
Gil Bluffs commencing Tuesday
October 9th.
1t is highly probable the in
junction suit of Logan Craw-
ford, an action brought to re-
strain the construction Of the
big drainage bitches, will be
heard during that session as the
attorneys are anxious to have
the matter disposed of by the
Court.

Communication.
IIILLYARD, WASHINGTON,
September Goth, 1903.
FRIEND BOB:
Now l will try to tell you how
we live and how we work. To
commence with. Board here is
$24 per month, so we Hall, Roy
Ell, and | keep "bach." We live
in a Shack" (half house and
half tent,) about one hundred
yards from shops; it is 12x12,
and gives us plenty of room
and we are as cozy as bugs UNI
der a board; our nights are gen
orally cool, but the days are, as
a general thing, very fine, some
rain during the twenty-four
hours, but only spinkles; there
has not been enough waterfall
in the two weeks | have been
here to make one good rain.
There were four of us in the
tent until Mr.. Aldrich's family
came, when they went to house
keeping. Our daily routine
follows: Roger gets up and
makes the fire; saw wood UNI
til breakfast; Hall is chamber
maid and general housekeeper;
We eat beakfast and then slick
things up, and by that time j j
Hill blows his whistle. At noon,
Hall is first at tent, Roger and
| follow, then all lend a hand at
the dinner, that finished, we all
report for duty; supper is only
a repetition of the other meals,
only not eaten in so much of a
hurry.
Hall works on hand cars and
velocipedes; Roger is listed as
bench man, and | am way car
man, but we work at everything
from a stub nosed snow pillow to
a rotary or lidgerwood.
We work ten hours per day,
and six days per week, we quit
at 5 p. m. on Saturdays, but get
pay for the ten hours.
This is a good place to work,
only the car shop is crowded; it
is a brick building, 3 tracks rum
ming through it. one track used
for way-cars, and one for tanks,
and the other for heavy repairs
on freight cars; all the wood
working machinery is in the
shops, and all material is made
ready togo in the car; everything
is bored and mortised; flooring
is cut in proper length, and a
workman has but little use for
saw and chisels. Their machin-
cry will handle a stick of timber
18x24 60 or 80 feet long. All
kinds of machinery, evena au-
tomato setter and filler for dres-
sing band-saws.
All shop buildings are 94x300
feet and built of brick, and in a
cluster, except the coach shops
where all the coach work is done
which stands about 100 yards
from the other shops.
Hillyard is a pretty little town
of LOO people, Tmostly..shop en-
ployes and their families, and
is certainly an ideal place for
R. R. shops, being located six
miles north of Spokane, on a
knoll about 80 or 40 feet above
the narrow valley skirting the
foot of the mountains. 1t is ia
BILE land, and unlike any other
table land | ever visited; the
soil is full of gravel and is not
productive unless we'll watered,
some other table lands have fine
black loomy soil, with no stone,
and while we here have to go
from It's to 225 feet for water,
while on the plateaus, 300 or
400 feet higher up on the noun
tains they only go so to rs feet,
and these fertile prairies or
plateus, contain the fruit farms
that have given Wash. it's

Estherville Democrat: 1t may
be of interest to our brother
newspaper publishers to learn
that the Democrat has just won
a lawsuit in which a subscriber
who has taken the paper for
five years absolutely refused to
pay. The case was commenced
early last fall and carted around
from one justice to another UNI
til it finally landed in Justice
Larson's court at Willingford.
By agreement the case was
brought before Justice David
son in this city and the court
decided that the defendant was
liable for the subscription price
Of the paper. which was $3.50
and to pay all cost of the case,
which amounted to over $50.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

EDI1O2lAI NOTES.
Henry De Cou, Democratic
candidate for Representative
from Harrison county, was a
caller today. Henry is one OF
Harrison county's best citizens
identified with all the best in
terest of the county, full OF
energy and pluck, and if elect
ed, will make just such a repre-
sentative as we need at this
time. 1t is more important to
have a live, energetic and in
telligent member in the House,
though he may be a democrat,
than to have one not so we'll
equipped for the position, al
though a republican. BY Civ
ing Henry De Cou a vote, you
give a vote for a good man and
one who will honor the position,
and serve the people without
regard to party in a satisfactory
manner.
The coal minors in the Union
Pacific mines are talking of 60
ing on a strike. 1t is coming
the time of year now for the
coal miners to talk strike.
When the first frost comes the
coal miners become affected
with the strike germ.
A Sioux City man was cper-
ated on for appendicitis this
week, and his appendix was
found full of short hairs he had
bitten off his mustache. A hair
diet don't seem to agree with
the Sioux Cityites.
A woman has organized a
school in Chicogo to teach wo-
men how not to get tired. Her
theory is that high kicking is
the best preventative for get
ting tired. Good theory, that.
Douglas county that's Oma-
ha will buy two thousand tons
of coal to distribute among the
poor this winter. The authori-
ties think that is about
half as much as will be needed.
The towns along the banks
of the Missouri river are get
ting, up a petition to congress
asking that the government
pr )tect the towns from the ra-
wages of the Big Muddy every
spring.
Among those who went on
the Ames excursion were Tho
mas Kenyon, Alden Dray, Fred
Kenyon, Frank Brothers, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Brown, Mr. and
Mrs Oscar Doty, Misses Maggie
and Francis Fitzgibbon.
"Ten live men in a town."
says the Breda Waterman, "are
of more real value than any
number of dead ones. 1t is the
live men that does business for
himself and provides business
for others. The objector and
kicker is only an obstruction, a
hinderance, a mere barnacle on
the bottom of the ship of prog
ress."
George Culavin, the Demo
cratic candidate for Sheriff of
Harrison County, is creating a
very good impression wherever
he goes over the county: There
isn't a man in this county that
would make a better sheriff
than George Culavin, and the
people are beginning to think SO,
too.

Millionaire Hubbel, of Des
Moines, has willed his property
all to the purpose of building q
great school in Des Moines. r.
M. is in no hurry to start the
school, as his estate is not to &c
to the school until the end OF
one hundred years. AS an ad.
vertiser f. M. is all right.
Judge Grosscup, of Chicago
Judge of the United States
Circuit Court, has been Offered
a bonus of 100000 and a life
time job at $4,000 per yeal
with the Northern Securities
Company if he will resign from
the U. S. bench and argue the
Merger cases. This is about
five times as much as the gov
eanment can afford to pay.
The trusts alwas get the best
ability.
A law is on the statute books
{ Illinois that allows old sol
diers to peddle in any town in
that state without paying a
license.
Denison is making arrange
ments to build a sewage system.
That is something Missouri
Valley will have to do as soon
as the bitches are completed.
Four conventions were held
in LeMars one day last week.
That ought to be a good town
for hotels and saloons.
Monona county has a govern
ment engineering expert exam
lining their big drainage ditch.
The expert comes at the ex-
pense of the government and
not at the expense Of the coun-
ty.
Henry DeCou, the democratic
candidate for Representative,
visited in the Valley Saturday,
and made a good impression on
all with whom he came in con-
tact. He is a man thoroughly
posted as to the wants of the
farmers of the county and if
elected will look after their in
terests in the legislature.
The candidates will all be at
the fair this week, shaking
hands with the voters and tell
ing the mothers what beautiful
babies they have with them.
The life of the candidate is a
strenuous one.
The fashion papers say it is
.good form" now to wear not
only diamonds and pearls, but
all kinds of jewelry. We will
now make an effort to get our
diamonds and pearls out of
hook.
Waterloo is holding anti
brewery meetings. A company
proposes to build a big brewery
in that town and the temper
ance people are fighting it.
There is a baby born every
five minutes in the city of New
York. The soothing syrup
market is looking up in that
city.
]. G. Milliman, of Logan, has
been appointed Colonel on the
staff of the COMMANDMENTS Chief
of the G. A. R. Col. Milliman
sounds all right.
A preacher was drawn as a
juryman up at Mason City last
week. He had preached SC
many sermons about business
men Sinking jury duty that he
consented to serve, although he
was exempt by law.

post office handled two hundred

on the ground, and the trees are
prdpped up to bear their load
still on them. Apples, peaches,
pears, apricots, plums, prunes,
black and silver crabs, and all
kinds of berries, and all kinds
of vegetables are simply enor-
NOUS in yield, more than in size.
Sometimes when looking in a
seed Catalogue | have wondered
if it We're possible to raise beans
where the vines would be as full
of pods as were those in the
picture; but to-day in a jaunt up
four or five hundred feet higher
than our location here, | saw a
bean patch of about one acre
and every hill was as fully
laded with beans as any cata-
logue picture ever saw.
The vines of all kinds, beans,
tomltoes, pam oNins, melons,
and others are very small, but,
my, what loads of fruit they
bear! even potato vines are not
more than ten or twelve inches
high but the ground is full of
potatoes. But the land where
such things grow is worth from
one hundred to five hundred
dollars per acre.
The most peculiar feature of
this country is the abundance
of the peculiarities; you may
find a farm worth $5OO.OO per
acre and within one-eighth of a
mile from it will be land that is
worth only the timber that
grows on it; absolutely worth
less for fruit or vegetables, so
if one intends to buy land here,
he wants to be "from Missouri"
Generally speaking, this is a
healthy country, but we have
not been here long enough to
know.
Wood is worth $3.50 to $500
per cord; soft coal $500, no hard
coal used, we have not learned
what cobs are worth but don't
think there is enough corn in
counties around here to make a
lead of cobs if all were shelled,
although we saw several shocks
of fodder today, and IS or 40
acres of potatoes in one field.
There are quite a number of
Missouri Valleyites here: o. IS
Baker and H. w. Miller arrived
on the 18th. There are so ma
ny Valley people in Spokane,
that pretty soon, not doubt, they
will be wanting to annex the
Valley, and call it Spokane Vail
ey. Well, my boys are both
in bed fast asleep, so | will close.

and ten tons Of mail last FRI
