Offers State Maximum Of
Sc Per Acre.

wv Ou fAVb VI
Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE
state has 165 more acres of
land for sale in Harrison
county that may be disposed of
at a bargain. This land lies
three miles west of Modale
and was formerly one-half the
old Missouri river channel. The
appraised value of the land
was recently fixed at SIS, $3.50
and $40 an acre in three lots.
George Coulthard of Modale,
the original applicant for the
land, has just submitted a bid
to the secretary of state
offering 81, $3.50 and Sc an
acre for the respective lots.
This bid is not satisfactory to
the state land department,
however, and the public will
now be given an opportunity to
bid for the land. Sale of the
land will be held open until
October 20 and if no higher
offer is received by then it will
have to be sold to Mr.. Coulthard
according to law.

Park kelless Badly scalded

Park Kellogg, the six-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Kellogg, was seriously scalded
this morning at 8 O'clock at
their home on Fourth street.
Mrs. Kellogg was taking an
open kettle Of boiling water off
the stove when Park ran into
her, the boiling water splitting
over his shoulders and down his
breast and back. Drs. Tamisiea
and DeVore were called and
administered to the burns and
Park was soon resting easy.
His father asked him where it
hurt him and he answered, cit
don't hurt at all now, papa"
and in a minute he lapsed into
Inconsistencies. Every means
known to medical science was
used by the doctors to bring
him back to consciousness, but
up to a late hour this afternoon
they had failed and it is feared
he cannot live.
At 4:15 o'clock this after
noon it was thought by the
doctors in attendance that he
was a little better, but was still
unconscious.

A breeder of the Polled An
gus cattle in central Iowa said
the other day that he can pro-
duce on his farm one year with
another a 1000 pound Angus
steer for each four acre of his
farm. This finished steer is
worth one year with another
about $50, which gives him an
income of 500 per acre for his
land. It should be said that the
use of the farm for this pur-
pose has brought the soil up to
a most productive condition.

Excelsior Springs, Mo-, 10th
Aug, 1905. My dear Missouri
Valley f1iends::-As | cannot
write you all, The Times kindly
permits me to place this letter
where it will be read. This is
a singular town to me. The
hotel people and strangers in
rented rooms and boarding
places are the bulk of its in
habitants. Many are doubtless
here from Kansas City and st.
Joseph just for an outing, but
most are here for the waters
and are gathered from many
parts.
There are some fine hotels,
the Benton, the Royal and Il e
Naples and host of Others.
Boarding and rooming houses
are innumerable. The Roya
is said to be making $35, 900 6
year, and the Castle Rock, ons

are numerous. counted five
names on one building, four or
another and many scattered
through the town.
There is but one automobile
and the owner, having a mon
opoly, is making good his cp-
portunity. He charges Is cents
for a 20 minutes ride and is
going all day. There is but
one photographer and he is
having a great trade, photo
graphing the strangers at the
hotels, boarding houses ard
springs in groups, Is cents
each.
The population is about $500
and often the strangers make
1000 more. Property is rising
rapidly in value. Most of the
storekeepers and other resi-
dents came as invalids to be
healed and returned to stay, SO
as they listen to the stories of
others who have been cured
they have their own story to
add to the others. There is NO
doubt about many fine cures.
The springs, with their hun
dreds of visitors sitting chat
ting and slipping the water, are
a great sight. A man in sew.
eral of them is pumping all tie
thine. Others have from one
to three girls to supply the de-
mand. At some you help your.
self. Three glasses of hot sui
phur-salt water in the morning
about an hour before breakfast
and two at night, cold, before
going to bed, and several dur
ing the day Of other sorts and
springs is about the common
round. There are bands OF
music, or orchestras, | should
say, at the hotels and springs
frequently. The greatest crowd
| is here of course from Saturday
till Monday.
Give my kind regards to other
friends and hand this letter
about. It is for them also.
Yours very cordially,

Tc Come Is Council Bluffs Nom
day to Study Charts
Benefit Assessors Arc Busy In
Harrison County
Nonpareil, Aug. IL:
Seth Dean, the Glenwood en-
gineer, chosen by the county
supervisors board to supervise
the construction of the Potta-
wattamie Harrison drainage
system, notified Auditor Cheyne
yesterday by long distance tele-
phone that he would accept the
position and would come to
Council Bluffs next Monday for
the purpose of going over the
d Itch charts and familiarizing
himself with the details Of the
project. I he oint supervisors
board will meet at Logan on
August IL, and Mr.. Dean will
be present at the session, when
it is expected that plans and
Specifications will be called for.
These will serve as the basis of
bids at a later date.
The commissioners appointed
to assess benefits are now at
work in Harrison county. As
| it will take to the middle of
September to finish that work,
there is no probability that dirt
will be thrown on any part of
the ditch system this year. At
ter the commissioners make
their report, the joint board
must give a hearing toproperty
owners who may think they
have been assessed too much.
The final step will be to award
the contracts after considering
bids. 1t will doubtless be speci-
fled that the ditch work shall
begin at an early date next
spring or summer.
PREPARING TO PROTEST.
The Illinois Central railroad
is preparing to offer a protest
against assessment of its prop
erty for ditch purposes. This
road, unlike the Northwestern,
did not file a claim for dam
lagos, as the ditch route does
not cross it's right of way at
|any point. A large extent of
the Centrals roadbed, never
theless, is within the drainage
district and will probably be
assessed for benefits, along
with farm property. To this
the management of the road
will enter a strong objection,
claiming that it can derive no
benefit from the artificial wat
erway.
1t will be argued by repre-
sentatives of the Illinois Cen
trail that it's tracks are never
endangered except from the
Missouri river at high water.
No remedy for that situation,
of course, is contemplated in
connection with the ditch un-
dertaking. The Northwestern
on the other hand, having re-
ceived satisfactory allowance
of damages for four bridges il
will have to build, will prob.
ably make no trouble over the
assessment. The Illinois Cen
trail, it is thought, will either
join with individual property
owners in an injunction suit OF
start one by itself.
