Drainage Petitions.

Attorney Kellogg of Mis-

with the project to construct
drainage bitches in Harrison

Mr.. Kellogg stated that a

were being circulated among
the farmers in Harrison county
and were being signed by every
farmer whose land would be
affected by the drainage sys-
tenn. Similar petitions are be-
ing circulated among the land

county and a large number of

The night indeed was stormy,
And the stars refused To shine,
But the Industrial society,
Which, of course, is mighty fine,
Decided to give q social

They gathered in the parlors

And no one in the company
More desired 10 roam.
They saw the lights shed forth their

And words OF welcome rang
Among the groups of laughing guests
And in their hearts " sang.
They played the modern parlor game,
And laughter ran as free
AS brooklets on the mount ain sides,
And plenteous was their glee.
They kept the revel going,
The old folks ,ined the mirtf,
But in the supper the ladies spread
They got their moneys worth.
There was oysters, pickles, cakes aud

Aud potato chips tempting

:ournment meet here Monday
to consider the new petitions.
At that time members of the
Harrison county board will be
present and will act in conjunc-
ton with the local board.
The petitions which are now
being signed request that the
boards of Harrison and Pot
taWattamie counties form a
joint commission to consider
the construction of a drainage
ditch and to oversee the entire
work. That such a commission
will be appointed there seems
to be little doubt. The farmers
in the southwestern part of
Harrison county and those own
ing land in the northwestern
part of Pottawattamie county
seem almost unanimous in the
idea of constructing a drainage
system. The only complaint
which was made concerning
the petitions previously filed
was to the fact that they did
not provide for concurrent
action on the part of the two
different counties.
1t is believed that the old
plans regarding the location
and size of the bitches are sat-
isfactory and will be adopted
by the boards of supervisors
when they meet as a joint COM
mission. The landowners most
interested in the establishing of
a drainage system are anxious
for the legal features to be all
arranged to allow actual work
on the construction and excav-
alton to be commenced as soon
after the spring freshets as
possible. Nonpareil.

Editor Times: In looking
over the Times last week we
read with pleasure the address
by Superintendent Beveridge,
on the consolidation of schools,
as delivered before a meeting
during the Farmers Institute.
We are in hearty accord with
his position in regard to the
ability, under nsolidation, to
secure better service at less cost
per pupil than under the pres
ent system, unless perchance
too much time was taken up in
the pursuit of some of the num-
erous fads so common in the
present day. Mr.. Beveridge
seems to think that under the
consolidation plan inexperience
and inefficiency would be elm
mated. In this we must differ
with him.
In teaching as in everything
else, there must be a beginning,
and if there are no district
schools in which the teacher
can gain her first experience,
then she must needs acquire
that experience in a consol-
idated school. 1t might be pos
sible to stop the work of the
"grim Reaper Death and chain
the sprightly little elf, Cupid;
but while these two abstract
personages are at large, there
must be steady accessions to
the ranks of teachers.
We might indeed admit to
the ranks only those who were
the happy possessors of a col
lege diploma, but here again,
everything is not gold that
glitters; and the successful
teacher needs something more
than the college diploma or
even one of those STOCK re-
commentators SO frequently
issued by our college presi-
dents and professors to those
who apply for them. So while
the inefficiency might be some
what lessened, it would not be
entirely eliminated.
And again, we have Otter
noted how few teachers who
have a college training acquired
the same before beginning Their
career as teacher; in fact, very
few persons whose financial
circumstances permit them tt
attend a college until they have
saved the money earned by
teaching to enable them to DE-
so, ever take up the profession
of teaching.
How many teachers are there
in Harrison county today WIZ
took a college course befor,
having taught? And how man.
are there who are striving t,
save money by teaching, where
with to pay for such a course

Looks Good for Mo. Valley.
The railroad question that
has worried Mo. Valley for 10,
these many years, is working
out just as the citizens of this
city had hoped it would. Every
move of the railroad company
points to permanency of the
shopsand headquarters in this
city. The taking over of the
Elkhorn by the Chicago &North-
western will work tdthematerial
interest of Mo. Valley. The APP
pointments that are being made
strengthens the belief of the
people of this city that every
thing is working to the good of
Mo. Valley. Mr.. Pratt has been
appointed Master Mechanic of
the new Wyoming and Nebras-
ka division WITH HEAD
QUARTERS IN MISSOURI VALLEY.
Mr.. Ramsayer has been APP
pointed General foreman of the
car department, WITH HEAD
QUARTERS IN Mo. VALLEY. DR..
Colt has been appointed Chief
Surgeon WITH HEADQUARTERS
IN Mo. VALLEY. All of these
appointments with their head
quarters in this city convince
the people that Mo. Valley is to
be the principal eastern head
quarters of the new division,
with new shops, new head
quarters building, new yards,
and a new depot. A gang Ct
railroad engineers have been
busy in the Valley for the past
few days running lines in the
blocks Immediately surrounding
the depot and yards, but what
their object is they refuse to
divulge, but the opinion of those
best posted is that it is the COM
encement of the new depot
and yards. The prospects for
Mo. Valley were never as bright
as they are this spring.
The farmers of Harrison
county don't seem to appreciate
the efforts of Mo. Valley in
furnishing them place in
which to hold their County
Fair. The city of Mo. Valley
has at least $4,000 invested in
the fair grounds in this city,
and they give the use of the
grounds to the fair association
every year FREE OF CHARGE.
The city pays the expense of
putting the grounds in shape
every year for the fair, but if
) we judge from the talk at the
Farmers Institute, the farmers
do not appreciate the efforts of
Mo. Valley. The city could lay
out, into lots, the forty acres
contained in the fair grounds,
and could sell the lots for at
least $4,000, and under the
circumstances it seems to The
Times that would be the proper
thing to do. FORTY THOUSAND
, DOLLARS would purchase land
north of the city for park pur-
poses and leave at least TWEEN
! TY-F1vE THOUSAND DOLLARS in
the city treasury from the sale
of lots. This would be worth
. more to the city than the coun-
ty fair, and would give the city
a first class park up in the hills
and valleys north of the city.
In doing this the farmers
would have an opportunity of
, hustling for a place to hold
!, their county fair. When peo-
pie don't appreciate your eff
forts to do them a favor it is
) time to stop trying to force the
favor upon them. We believe
) the people of Mo. Valley would
, appreciate $4,000 in cash and
! a fine city park north Of town
