Old Settler Gone.

Died at his home in WOodblne,
Iowa, August 4th, 1905, after
a long illness, Samuel
Purcell, age 70 years.
The deceased had been a citi-
zen Of this county for many
years, having come here in 1856,
locating at Elk Grove, Jefferson
township. He was a member
of the First Indiana Infantry
in the Mexican war in 1916,
having served through h a t
war. Old in years, loved by his
children, and highly respected
by his neighbors and friends,
he has answered the last call,
and will rest from his labors.
He was born in Putnam Co.
Indiana, September Sth, 1929.

who visited here last winter.
The jewelry consists of shirt
waist set Of three pieces, cuff
buttons and a scarf pin, and
each piece is made out OF a
nugget of gold just as it was
dug out of the ground. The
set weighs about $145.0O in
pure gold, and Mrs. Stoddard is
proud of them, as she we'll may
be, as we don't suppose there is
another set of jewelry of the
same kind in Iowa.

benefits. They will not be en-
abled to make a report, how
ever, during the present month,
as it will require five or six
weeks to complete the assess
ment. Each piece of land must
be inspected and the ditch tax
computed on the acreage it
contains, together with the
amount of benefit which it will
derive from the artificial water
way.
1t was at first thought that
the specifications used in the
old drainage project Of Potta-
wattamie and Harrison coun-
ties two years ago would be
available for the present under
taking, but owing to changes
in the ground which have taken
place this will be impracticable.
In some places the surface is
said to be two feet higher than
it was then, because of depos-
its from later overhows. Much
smaller changes than this
would be sufficient to disar-
range entirely the plans of the
engineers, if the old specifica-
lions were used.

LEGATION after we got settled in
our new home | will now do so.
Perhaps some of our friends
would like to hear from us that
don't otherwise. We like the
country fine here and have
good prospects for a big crop.
Haying and harvesting are on
hand now. Corn is a little late
but is growing fast, has a good
color and will soon have roast
ing ears. Wheat is going to
make a big yield, as is also
other small grain. We never
raised nicer potatoes than we
have this summer and we have
plenty of garden truck. We
have had lots of rain here this
summer and it's raining here
this afternoon. The country is
thickly settled and we have
good neighbors. The people
here are so sociable. We at
tended a picnic here the 18th
of July; didn't know very many
when we got there, but we did
before we left. Wages are
high, from $3.50 to $3.50 a day,
single hand. We have good
soil here, a black loan with a
clay subsoil, and it will raise
anything you are a mind to
plant. There is some rock but
it is a benefit to us. We don't
have to buy brick for founda-
tions and they use them to wall
cellars with and for several
other purposes, even to hold
the corner fence posts down.
People told US before we came
up here that it never rained in
South Dakota but we surely
have had plenty of it this year.
We heard they had got the
news down in Iowa that we
were hailed out up here. They
were surely mistaken, as we
haven't had hail enough to do
any damage. guess it was in
Iowa that they had the
hail. Land is on the boom here,
selling from $18 to $28 an
acre, and the time is coming
and | don't think is far away
that Dakota land will be as
high priced as Iowa land. There
are lots of Iowa people up here
now and there is still room for
more. We are always glad for
Saturday night to come as that
is when we get the Times. 1t
is just like getting a letter as
we get all Of the news. | will
bring my letter to a close.

again later. If any of our

DISAGREE On the ENGINEER

Harrison County Supervisors
Want Huff, but Are Outvoted.
The fact that there are five
members of the boardo of county
supervisors in Pottawattamie
county and only three in the
Harrison county board defeat
ed the desire of the latter yes
terday to have C. L. Huff of
Harrison county named as the
engineer to have charge of the
construction of the joint Harri-
SON. ottawattamie drainage
ditch.
The Pottawattamie supervis-
ors were not united in support
of any candidate themselves,
but they did not want Huff.
A motion to appoint him was
made by one of the Harrist n
county supervisors, but the vote
was strictly on county lines and
his supporters were in a helpless
minority.
Or objection to Huff's APP
pointment, according to the
statement of a member of the
Pottawattamie board, is that
while probably a competent en-
gineer, he has not the age
judgment or experience to
qualify him for handling a job
of the magnitude of this or for
dealing with difficult and try
ing situations such as are likely
to be encountered before the
work is completed. Said a
member:
These lands owners are
the ones who are going to
put up the money and they
are entitled to the best man
I wecang get. We cannot af-
ford to take any chances in
l a job Of this sort. The peo-
pie who pay the freight
must be assured they will
get their moneys worth.
Therefore we think a man
experienced in such work
1 is demanded.
Supervisor Setz Of the Potta-
wattamie board moved and it
was carried that the chair APP
point a committee of four to
communicate with Seth Dean of
Glenwood to ascertain whether
he would accept the place if Of
fered. Supervisors Setz and
Baker of Pottawattamie county
and Hall and Hosbrook of Har-
J rison county were selected as
the committee.
1t was at first contemplated
that the committee should go
to Glenwood but upon telephon-
ling there it was found that Mr..
Dean was engaged on some
work near Malvern and it was
then decided to get him to the
Malvern telephone if possible
and communicate with him by
wire.
At the morning session of
the supervisors yesterday S. C.
Eshelman of Harrison county
and Henry Welse of Avoca,
Pottawattamie county were APP
pointed as members Of the
} commission to assess benefits to
be assessed against the lands in
the drainage district and to
classify the land and grade it
according to the benefits receiv-
ed from the construction of the
ditch. This is one of the most
important steps in the entire
} proceedings leading up to the
construction of the bitches as
the classification made by the
commission forms the basis for
the assessment of the cost of
the ditch against the lands in
the drainage district. A third
member of the commission is to
be named and must be an engi-
neer.

Logan August ~
Nonpareil, Aug. 5:
Provided he can secure the
consent of the Mills county
board of supervisors, Seth
Dean of Glenwood will act as
construction engineer for the
Pottawattamie- Harrison drain
age ditch. After consulting in
person yesterday with the joint
ditch board of the two counties
and receiving an offer from
that board to take charge of
the work for 81 a day and ex-
penses during the time en-
ployed, Engineer Dean gave
his conditional acceptance. He
is now engaged in some ditch
construction work in Mills
county, but thinks it will be
far enough along in a week to
permit him to give attention to
the project on foot here.
The joint board took an adj
journment yesterday noon to
meet again at Logan on August
II at 10 a. m. 1t took no far
ther action in the ditch pro-
ceedings than to appoint j. H.
Mayne of Council Bluffs as con-
sulting engineer to assist the
commissioners in assessing ben
efits. The remuneration was
fixed at Sc per day. There
was no opposition to Mayne's
selection.
AUDITORS PRESENT CLAIMS.
Auditor G. w. Atkins of Har-
rison county presented a claim
for S105 to the joint board yes
terday for services in attend
ing it's meetings, writing the
record, executing notices to
taxpayers and getting waivers
from those not originally mott
fled. Auditor w. G.. Cheyne
of Pottawattamie county had a
similar bill for $50. The ques-
ton of allowing these claims
elected some discussion, as SUI
pervisors Murray and Setz were
doubtful whether the board
could allow the auditors extra
compensation.
County Attorney Hess was
appealed to and stated that the
law provided for paying the
auditors for work done on ditch
matters, entirely separate from
their salaries. Auditor Cheyne
read a section of the new drain
age law to the supervisors
which satisfied them on the
point and no further dissent
was expressed. The joint board
however, decided that it could
not allow the claims, but could
only recommend their payment
by the county boards acting
separately. The matter was
disposed of in this way.
MAY REQUIRE $225,O00.
Some consideration was Civ
en- to the bond issue which will
be made as a means of securing
funds with which to prosecute
the ditch work. Auditor At
kins informed the supervisors
that it would require from
100000 to 225,OO0 for the
undertaking. 1t was proposed
by Supervisor Baker that the
bonds be issued to cover a per-
lod OF fifteen years, one-tenth
of the total amount to be pay
able in five years and one
tenth each year thereafter.
This suggestion met with gen.
eral approval, but no vote was
taken.
