IOWA BLUE BOOK
LEGISLATURE OF STATE WILL
DECIDE UPON FORM FOR NEW
OFFICIAL REGISTER.
To Be Larger and More Comprehend
sive Publicaton-Wili Be Issued Bi-
enniaIIy = New Features to be In
Guided in Edition..

Among the things which will be con-
sidered at the legislative session of
1908 will be the changing of the form
for the official register. This publica-
ton is a semi-blue book and it is de.
sired to make it the real thing.
On account of the adoption Of the BIZ
ennial elections amendment, after
1907 the book will be issued bienni
ally. When the change is made it is
the opinion of many that the book
should be expanded in size and so
changed in form as to be genuine
blue book and a sufficiently numerous
edition should be printed to make its
circulation worth while.
At present the book is a pocket size
and should be enlarged to the usual
book size to conform to the other state
publications. Indeed it has been sug-
gested that the state adopt form for
all publications so that they may be
of the same size and subject to bind
ing together Now the state Offices
issue publications of all sorts in all
sorts of sizes and it is impossible to
keep a file of them. The board of con-
troll has gone SO far in this reform as
to require the state institution man
ayers to make their typewriter bien.
NAL reports on paper of the same size
and style so that they may be bound.
History Of the Book.
Almost all of the states Issue real
blue book. The Official Register of
Iowa has been gradual growth, be.
coming more valuable and more com.
prehensive every year. At last it has
reached a point where it must be ex
banded into the sort of publication
which Wisconsin and other states is
sue. Withall it is the hope of many
people that enough copies will be pro
vided for so that it may be seen in
every school house and every library
in the state. The lack of knowledge
of public affairs is deplorable.
The Official Register started away
back in 1884 Capt. John A. T. HUI
when secretary of state, got out the
first number. The number beginning
with 1886 is as far back as any of the
files of the book go, however. 1t was
modest publication then, including
only the names Of the state officers
and the legislature.
The Fairall Register preceded this
publication, however, but it did MOI
have state sanction.
Back in the time of Kirkwood's sec
ond term as governor, publication
was gotten out by E. B. Stillman, now
owner of the jefferson Bee, who wa:
connected with the legislature at the
time, by authority of that body. giving
something along the line of the infor
nation essayed by the present day
Register. But it included eight Of the

E. Patterson celebrated the
golden anniversary of their wedding
Fifty years is a long time to have
lived together but t .e years seem to
have held much of joy fci' these
worthy people. and many took ,,dvan-
tage of the opportunity of putting into
words what all who know then feel
in their hearts the acknowledgement
ftheir worth and best wishes for tho
future. Surrounded b. their children
and grandchildren, they We're SUI
premely happy as they received the
congratulations of friends, neight ors
and old acquaintances. To tie visitor,
one of the finest things connected with
the important event. was sons acting
as best men and the daughters serv-
ing as maids of honor for the second
time bride The house and grounds
were gaily decorated with flags AND
flowers and long before the reception
hour friends began to call and offer
congratulations.
Hamilton E. Patterson was born IN
Ireland June IS, 1884, came to Ameri-
ca in 1851 Remaining but a short
time in New York, he moved further
west, reaching Cleveland, but in a few
months went to Chagr1n Fails, ONO,
where he attended the Asb,:ry Semin-
&ry in 1854. This next year he and
Miss Caroline Wiggle were married,
at Cleveland, and in April Of the same
year they moved to Marcngo, which
has since been their home.
Mr.. Patterson enlisted in Co. B, 28th
Iowa Infantry in 1862, saw something
of service as he participated in the
Red River expedition, siege of Vicks
burg, Milliken's bend, Champion hill
Black river, Sabine cross roads and
Port Gibson. After recovering from a
wound he was transferred to Wash
ington, D. c., where he was on duty
until the close of the war, being hon
orably discharged in June, 1865. On
returning to Marengo he engaged in
the lumber business, which he contin-
ued until four years ago, when he re-
tired to a beautiful suburban home

Some New Features.

Work will soon begin on the compil.
1t will be gotten out during the legis.
features are under consideration at
the purpose of enhancing it's value.
For instance, it is desired that the
name, officers and addresses Of Off.
cluded in the 1906 Register.
Take the Meat Producers Associa.
ton of Iowa, for instance. There is
no known source of information as to
the personnel of it's officers which is
of course, kno.-s that A. L. Ames, of
Manchester,is president and Jimmie
Ryan, of Fort Dodge, is secretary, but
the stranger within the gates does not
and has no means on earth of finding
unit. he finds a citizen who is posted
of the state association OF retail liquor
Temperance union or the anti-saloon
or hundred other state associations.
SuCI do lllOS6 VI duu IL
tail business mems organizations?
Faculties of College.
The work of gathering this informa.
ton will be difficult in the extreme.
And at best there are bound to be I'M
intentional omissions, but the inquiry
as to the matter is now going forward
to determine if this addition will be
advisable or feasible.
Another addition which has been
suggested is the list of faculties of all
colleges of the state. There are about
40 colleges. The state educational d.
rectory gotten out by the statesuperin-
tendent includes the names of the
presidents only. 1t is proposed to put
in the names of all of the members Of
the faculties, with the chairs they oc-
cupy 1t will add about fifteen pages
OF very valuable information.
| Many other new features are under
| consideration. When the new and
genuine Blue Book is authorized by the
| legislature, the whole proper field will
be covered properly.

then boarding the train again when it
