tFrom a star Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Sept. 3-(Special 1.-TWO |
good sized appropriations are to be asked |
OF the legislature for the benefit OF the |
state fair. either both to be made by the |
legislature which meets next January or |
one at that time and one by the legislature |
which meets the year following. One OF |
these will he for about $4,000, for the pur-
pose OF erecting a steel grandstand, that |
will seat at least 1900 people, and the |
other is for a large stock pavilion.
During the state fair last week not more
than about half the people who wanted
to get into the amphitheater could get in
and the stock pavilion, where horses and
cattle are judged, was so packed that on
most days of the fair one could hardly
enter the building and not half who wished
to see the stock in the ring could do so.
There was no opportunity whatever to
sec the swine judging.
Small fears are entertained but that the
appropriations will be made for the reason
that this year there were a large number
OF senators and representatives in attend
ance at the fair, and a number OF them
were caught in the crowds and were unable
to gain admittance either to the amphi-
theater to see the races to the stock
pavilion TO see the stock Judging.
Legislator Saw for Himself
Representative p. II. Powers Of Floyd
county was rescued from the crowd by
Secretary John c. Simpson and taken to
the secretary's box in the amphitheater.
He declared himself then and there In
favor Of appropriation for steel
amphitheater twice the size of the present
frame structure. Senator A. c. Wilson of
Oelwein rescued in the same way by
Charles Phillips. superintendent of tickets,
and taken to box where he was able to
nd ba aIs Dot
have heretofore been quite opposed to
state fair appropriations. 1t has become
evident that there will be a profit OF
about S500C from this years fair. 1t is
the custom to carry a surplus of about
$4,000 and the balance OF the money will
be used in identifying the grounds still
further making repairs as needed. building
more permanent walks and in erecting two
or more substantial barns for the cattle
and horses.
Three Counties Lose.
The population of three counties made
! public today shows a loss in each case.
In five years, from 1900 to 1906 Union
county decreased from 1898 to 1853; Tay-
Tor county, from 1s,7s4 to 17,O2s; Van Buren,
! county, from 1884 to 1886. Creston, in
7 Union county has made a gain OF from 1852
| to $3.50; Bedford in Taylor. from 1877 to
I n
| from 1882 to 1872; Milton, from $40 to 1,1o7;
| Keosauqua, from LILY to LA

floor has begun again to swell and bulge
up. as II does every year at this time. The
problem has given the authorities con-
siderable concern. With the change OF
seasons the tile seems 10 swell and every
must be relaid.
