TEN
Beard ST Supervisors CHANGED
The System Back to the Dis.
ttlGt System Yesterday.

/
Two years ago the hoard of
S lpervisors of Harrison county
changed the system of electing
the members of the board of
supervisors. The system of
electing by districts had been
iii vogue in this county for the
past IS years, and for some
reason the board two years ago
changed the system and made
the supervisor elective by the
entire vote of the county. The
present board, consisting of
Hall, Edgecomb and Kelley,
seemed to believe (Hall did not)
that the best interests of the
county would be subserved by
a return to the old system, in
troduced a resolution yesterday
putting the county back into
the supervisor OSTRICH system,
Mr.. Hall voting against it and
Messrs Kelley and Edgecomb
voting for the resolution. The
board has worked faithfully to
make the districts as near equal
in population as possible, as the
following table will show:
Number
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1904-06-23

A look at the above table
will show that the supervisors
have done their duty as we'll as
possible, as the districts are
almost equal in population.
This action of the board salts
fies the people of the county,
both east and west, as when the
question was argued two years
ago the Logan papers stated
that if the system of election
of supervisors by the whole
county was not satisfactory the
board would return to the dis
trict system again, so of course
our editorial brethren at Logan
will be satisfied with this action
of the board, as it is just what
they said would happen if the
old system did not prove salts
factory. We are glad the
action of the board meets with
the general appreciation of the
whole county.

G. S. Osborne, Drueeist.

Several of our friends kicked
because we stated in the Daily
Times last night that the new
shops would be built in Mo.
Valley, claiming that they did
not see how we could have such
faith. There is no reason to be-
lieve the shops will ever be
moved from this city, and there
are many reasons to believe
that the new shops will be built
here. Does any citizen of Mo.
Valley believe the Japs would
have been able to whip the
Russians as many times as they
have if they had thrown up
their hands and said: owe can't
whip them. They are too many
for US. We are surely done for. !"
Instead of being discouraged
the people of Mo. Valley should
be encouraged to believe that
the new shops will be built in
this city as soon as the railroad
company find the business on
the road to justify it. Don't
give up. 1t is better to believe
everything will be all right
than to believe it will be all
wrong. 1t will help your diges-
tion and make you feel better
to look on the bright side of
everything. Of course the shops
will be built in Mo. Valley.
