IOWA HOTEL HISTORY.
[ Manson l.emocratl

The travelling man nowadays does
not have to put up with the miserable
hotel accommodations which were
rampant in western Iowa a quarter
of century ago. OF course, the coun-
try was new then ard people did not
expect much. II they did they were
doomed to disappointment, for the
best they could get was just about
what could be prepared from the sup
plies that had to be shipped a long dis
lance and were necessarily high IT.
price. Flour, meat, sugar, fruit and
every other culinary necessity was
scarce then and cost much more than
now. The only advantage then was
the splendid quality, quantity and
variety OF the wild game that could be
had at any time during it's particular
season. There was an abundant sup
ply of fish then, too, for many a creek
and pond, long since dry, was then
stocked with the gamey pickerel and
succulent bullheads. Wild ducks.
geese and brant fairly swarmed the
country In the spring and fall and
enough to supply the hotel tables
could be bought for a song. Prairie
chickens and cranes were plentiful
summer and winter, and occasionally
a fine deer was run to earth. But
however plentifully the hotel larder
was stocked with, game, the fact re-
manned that the hosiery was frame
building, cold in winter and hot In
summer, with scant furniture and
none of the nice, solft beds Of the mod :
ern hotel. The mosquitoes, too, made
life miserable for the traveller In
those days. Very often the furred and
feathered denizens Of the sloughs held
such high carnival at night that the
hotel guest found sleep difficult and
at times impossible. Ike Morrel, who
kept one of the first hotels in Pomer-
oy, used to hire boys to beat the
sloughs around that town at night to
keep the frogs and muskrats fright
ened into silence so that his guests
could sleep. The wild geese used to
often roost on the roof Of his hotel at
night, during their flight either north
ward or southwark, and then there
was no sleep for anyone until Ike got
his shotgun and scared them away.
One time he tied his dog on the roof
to keep the wild fowl from roosting
there and coyote climbed up tns
eavespout and chased the dog over
the edge of the roof. The dog was
cholsed to death before he was discov-
cred. The hotels Of today are mucn
better, on the average, than they were
ten, or even five years ago. The de-
mand for good hotels is so strong that
the landlord must make his hotel as
good as the next or lose the business.
There are so many railroads and 50
many trains that a travelling man
does not have to stay In a town II the
hotel accommodations do not suit
him. He can jump to some other
town to eat and sleep. 1t is competi-
ton and better patronage that has
improved the country town hotels.
But there is still considerable room
for Improvement.

Mr.. Cortelyou's stand on this mat

feet at the top, about three feet at
the bottom, and three feet deep. Bull

either, for the men engaged in the
work or the poor dumb animals that
