Missouri Valley, Iowa., Nov.
13, 1905. Editor Times. In
the circular which has been
mailed so generally to the vot-
ers of the county by the COM
mittee from Logan favoring
the bond issue, great stress is
placed on the report of John
Latenser, the Omaha architect.
Mr.. Latenser in that report
estimates that it would cost at
least $14,60O to build an addi-
ton to the present building in
which to safely store the re.
cords of the county. The writ
err has had some business deal
ings with Mr.. Latenser and
while we would not for a mo-
ment question that affable gen.
tleman's ability, we know that
Mr.. Latenser is too good a bust
ness man to recommend plans
for a $4,000 improvement if he
could work the board and thu
people of the county into build
ing an $4,000 court house for
which he would receive at least
ST, 900 for drawing the plans.
The writer is no architect,
neither is he a contractor, but
having had some experience in
building Tor having building
done) knows that Mr.. Latenser
placed the figures for repairs
on the old building at least
three times too high.
A heating plant that would
adequately heat the old build
ing and an addition to safely
keep all the records now on
hand as we'll as all that will
have accumulated in the next
20 years, can be constructed
for less than $4,000 and no
bonds will have to be voted to
do the work. The writer as be-
fore stated is not a contractor,
but he will agree to install heat,

they spake and said: Thou art

thou up into the Mountains adj

strength. Rally there thy
hosts, we need them sadly. If

made answer saying: Sires, I'm

And unto Harry the Seal
Keeper they spake thus and
said: Long hast thou enjoyed
thy reign as ruler. Oft in the
darksome hours that have
passed have we come to thy
rescue when the people would
dethrone thee. Thou hast a
pleasing tongue and a magnifi-
cent physique. It is we'll. There
are some people in this, our
Capital City, who worship at
the money shrine and will not
willingly part with their coin.
Go thou among them and bring
them to our way of thinking.

spake and made answer, thus:

Editor, is no bluff. They furth-
er attempt to soothe the fears
of the taxpayers by figuring
out to the cent what each prop
erty owner will be obliged to
pay annually as a court house
tax. AS the board has not vet
informed the people how long
these bonds will run if the pro.
position carries, and as no one
vet can tell what interest the
bonds will draw, we think the
gentlemen a little previous
with their information.
A few years ago the county
issued bonds to make up a
large deficit in the bridge fund.
We think there is yet about
$50, 900 of these bonds still out
standing, as we'll as a $4,000
deficit in the bridge fund

drainage bitches will be con
structed. This will necessitate
the construction of many steel
bridges, which undoubtedly will

construction of the ditch pro-

to be met by the territory

one solution to the problem and
that is, issue bonds to meet the
expense. This is a condition,
not a theory, that confronts us

In order to arrange for bet
ter facilities in handling the
large attendance anticipated
for this great annual event and
on account of the inability of
the builders to complete the
magnificent new amphitheatre
on time, it has been found nee
essary to postpone the EXPOSE
ton until the dates above mem
toned. All of the events adver-
tised will be held on the days
of the week corresponding to
the dates arranged for the pre-
vious week. All preparations
are being made to make the
event one long to be remem-
bered. The change in the date
will bring it at a season of the
year when it will no doubt be
more convenient for q larger
number to attend.

WONDERFUL CURE
Covered from Head 10 Foot with.

at One Time ~ Doctors and Drug
Bills 500 Baby Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
FOR FIVE DOLLARS

Mrs. George n. Tucker, r., 3,s
Greenfield Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
is a grateful mother. "When six
months old" she says, g my little girl
weighed pound and a half less than
at birth. When one month old scab
formed on her face, spreading until it
completely covered her from head to
foot, followed by boils, having forty
on her head at one time, and more on
her body. Then her skin started to
dry up, and it became 50 bad she
could not shut her eyes to sleep. One
months treatment with Cuticura Soap
and Ointment made a complete cure,
and now my child is as large, strong.
and healthy as any child Of her age.
The DOCTORS and drug bills were over
one hundred dollars, and my baby
grew worse all the time. Then we
spent less than Eve dollars for Cuti-
cura and cured her.

Secretary bennett, who has been Sen
ator Hansbrough's efficient secretary,
have resigned. Theodore Elton of
Grand Forks will take Secretary Den.
nett's place and R. w. Farrar of Wah-
peton will take the place made vacant
by the resignation of Secretary Nc
Harg. Secretary bennett will locate
in Washington for the practice of the
law and will also be special agent
of the land department at Seattle. It
is said that Secretary McEarg will
also locate in Seattle for the practice
of law. Both OF these gentlemen
have been efficient and able in their
work, having maintained very pleas
ant relations between the senators
and their constituents and deserve
whatever success they may be able to
achieve, which considering their ex.
oellent qualifications should be large.
All who have had to do with either
of them will extend the hope that
fortune may be kind and that much
material success and prosperity may
attend them in their new positions.
Mr.. Elton who takes Mr.. Benefits
place will be clerk of the public lands
committee and R. w. Farrar will be
clerk of the pensions committee.
That these gentlemen will make
worthy successors of those who have
resigned there is no doubt. >
