Fort Dodge, Sept. 3.-Fort Dodge has

This is the Great Western. Unknown

This is the Great Westerns method.
The old system of letting settle
ments spring up here and there where
ever happened to be an oasis on the
desert has been side tracked, forever,
for a more scientific method When
the Omaha line was first being sur
veyed, President Stickney gave or
ders that no efforts need be made to
lay out the route with any idea as to
traffic. He simply wanted the shortest
possible route to the Missouri river.
But when the line was built 1T was
easy to see that it would never pros
per simply on thru traffic as the COM
petition for this is of the severest kind.
In order to make the new line COM
plete success there must be Local traf-
he and in order to have much local
traffic there must be thriving trade
centers. Many of the old established
towns had been bitterly disappointed
because the line had not been punt
thru their borders and thought the
new road must surely fail without the
support of the old towns.
Edwin 3. Magill, who has made his
headouarters in the city, ever since
the completion OF the line, was
secured, and the matter of supplying
the line with the needed towns taken
up. Mr. Magill first went over the sur
vey, and calling the engineers to MS
aid. soon laid out lines where the pro-
posed miniature cities were. to be 10

older established places. Besides they
must occur at just the right frequency
along the route. Wherever site was
decided upon, FROM forty to four hun
dred acres of the surrounding land

Law out streets and necessary improve
ments.
Lanesboro First Settled.
Carroll county was honored by the
first settlement over two years ago.
The new town was called Lanesboro.,
The place has doomed every since its
establishment. Like the sites laid out
since, lots were sold at from $50 TO
$500 and they went by the hundred on
the opening day. Today the place has
a population of over eight hundred and
is one of the most thriving, villages in
this part of the state. The same thing
might he said of the thirteen other
towns opened up since by the COM
pany, all have been a success and are
being rapidly populated. In some
cases live commercial community
would be established only three weeks
after the opening day.

The opening of Gilliat, seven miles
east of Council Bluffs, took place last

IS LEGALLY DEAD !
Eli Mclean, a Waterman on the 3. Ic
r. G. NJ. at Cedar Rapids Disap-
peared Seven Years Ago-lnsurance
Company Pays Policy.

Cedar Rapids, Sept. 3.--Something
over seven years ago Eli Mclean, Il
Waterman on the B. C. r. & NJ, shops
disappeared from his home three miles
southwest of the city, on the Fairfax
road. He has now been declared le-
gally dead and policy of insurance
upon his life has been paid by the
company.
Mclean was a sober, Industrious
man, and for number of years he was
employed at the shops, walking into
town in the evening and back to his
snug little farm in the morning. His
family consisted of his wife, formerly
Miss Margaret Stephenson, whose
family now resides near Covington,
and son aged about 10 years.
In his efforts to improve his place
and put it in condition to yield him
such an income that it would no long
er be necessary for him to work
nights, Mclean borrowed about $500,
inducing his near neighbor, B. G. Gard,
to sign the note as surety and assign
ing a $4,000 life insurance policy as
security.
Not long after this transaction Nc
Lean disappeared. He lett no message
as, to his destination or intentions.
About that time there was a wreck
near Ottunlwa and it was supposed
that he lost his life therein, although
this fact was never established.
Mr.. Gard was naturally interested in
what had become OF Mclean, as he
stood to have the note to pay unless
the signer returned and made good his
promises. The matter ran along for
some months, and after taking counse.
Mr.. Gard proceeded to pay the next
years premium on the policy of in
surance, in order to protect himself.
An entire year passed away and still
no word from Mclean nor any clue as
to his whereabouts, were received by
family or friends. Then another year,
and still another, and Mr.. Gard kept
on paying the premiums, knowing that
some day Mclean mus, legally be de-
clared dead.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Gard took the
initiative in proceedings to collect the
face of the policy from the insurance
company, the legal time having elapsed
in which it may be considered that a
man is dead, because no word has been
heard from him. The Insurance COM
pany, rather than have any litigation,
offered compromise and paid Mr..
Gard something like 81 600 or a trif1e
more than enough to ray the face of
the promissory note, the interest
thereon fer seven years, and the pre-
miums which he had advanced on the
policy of insurance during that time.
Eli McLean's position if he should
ever show up here again, will be diff
cult to explain. He is legally dead and
has no property rights Of any kind.
His wife is a legal widow. 1t is said
that there is a serious question wheth-
err he could ever cast another ballot If
he were to return to his former home.
