PLAN I0 RAISE
$4,000 FOR TEAM.
Canvass For Money to Finance
League Club For 1907
Is Begun
ALL DEPENDS ON THE MONEY
If the Funds Needed Cannot be- Rails

Drop Out of the Leasue-Enthusiasts
Think the Sum Can be Secured and
Start is Made.

Whether this city remains member
Of the Iowa State Base Ball League
during the season of 1907, or drops out
Of the circuit, depends on the success
of the canvass for money to finance the
team, begun at the base ball meeting
held Wednesday night Enthusiasts
who attended the meeting believe that
1t can stay. and a start was made by
subscriptions amounting to 1926.
The canvass is to be continued Wig
orously by the committee, in the hope
Of securing about $500, the most CT
which 1t will attempt to secure before
January l. Should the subscription plan
meet with success fair, planned to
be given later in the sea son, is expected
to yield about $780, which is counted
on to swell the total to the mark set.
The money to be raised by subscrip-
ton will come to the association in
sums of s25 from each giver. 1t is
planned to raise the first $4,000 by loa
subscriptions of SIS each. With this
sum secured by the time Of the annual
meeting, the city's representative viii!
have the financial backing which. will
make it possible for him to go to The
January meeting Of the league, preDar-
ed and able to deposit the associations
playing guarantee for the coming sea-
son. Later the canvass will be conttn-
ned ia swell tho amount fo S2h00 Of
$4,000, which would undoubtedly see
the team thru the year without other
solicitations for money after the play
ing season had opened.
A committee, of which President A
p. Strub is chairman, and W. r. Ray
mond, Elmer Tuffree, +. E. Click, Fred
Dieterich are the other members, was

Drainage System For $500 Ac.
res of Land in Story and Mar
shall Decided Upon
APPRAISERS ALLOW DAMAGES
In Joint Session of Two Boards of SUI
pervisors, Held at State Center. We'd
nesday, Appraisers Fix $3.50 as the
Amount Of Damages Sustained -
Land Owners Call it Too Small

A resolution adopted by the boards
Of supervisors of Story and Marshall
counties, I'm joint session at State Gen.
ter Wednesday afternoon, establishes
the big drainage ditch that will drain
$500 acres of land in eastern Story
and western Marshall counties. The
work will not begin until the damages
assessed by the appraisers are either
paid or secured by the petitioners.
At a recent meeting of the boards,
when property owners were given a
hearing and allowed to file their claims
for damages, appraisers were appointed
to assess the damages resulting from
the digging of the proposed ditch The
claim of the property owners aggre-
gated, in round numbers, $4,000. The
report of the appraisers, filed with the
joint board Wednesday, fixes the total
amount Of the damages at $3.50.
The appraisers were Charles w.
Wells, of this CITY, representing Mar
shall county; J. H. Sewers, of Ames,
for Story county. and Wyatt Carr, Of
Collins, selected by the two appointees
of the board. The report of the APP
praisers was adopted in full by the
board with one exception
In the appraisers report the dam
ages allowed the Chicago & Northwest
tern Railroad Company amounted to
$500 The company appeared before
the board, represented by one OF its
engineers, and showed that the esti-
mate was entirely too low. The ditch
will have to make two crossings under
the Northwestern tracks and the en-
gineer showed explicitly just what
manner Of crossings would be permit
ted by the company. Nothing but steel
pipe will be allowed, and as steel pipe
is expensive the board decided to raise
the damage allowance to $780, the ex-
act showing made by the company of
the cost.
The acceptance of the damages al
lowed by the appraisers is considered
very doubtful by many property own
ers interested In fact interested par
ties to the action, present at the board
meeting Wednesday, stated emphatic
ally THAT they would never consent to
such a low appraisement. While many
admit that the damage claims were ex-
horbitant, in the sum of $4,000, they
also claim that the appraisement is
ridiculously low. The property owners
have recourse by appeal to the district
courts.
E. R. silliman, Of Colo. acted as
chairman at the joint session of the
two boards, and w. E. McLeland, OF
this city, was secretary.
