1t is about time to begin
thinking about our chautauqua
for the coming summer. This
season the committees will get
to work earlier than last and
get the advertising scattered
broadcast weeks before the
time of opening, thus giving
people in the country and sur
rounding towns a chance to
study the program and learn
the best dates to come. The
music will be good this year
and the program up to its
usual standard.

Recorders Office Busy Place

Being county recorder of
Harrison county is no sinecure,
particularly during March. H.
B. Owens and his deputy, S. E.
Cox, have been so busy this
month that either of them has
hardly had time to sleep. Mon
day was the busiest day so far
as recorded this month. Be-
fore 8 o'clock on that day 80
instruments were received and
before night 101 had been
placed on the records. War
ranty deeds amounted in money
to over $180,00O for that day
alone and there were 38 of
them. The mortgages filed
represented something over
100000. They also numbered
38.
On Saturday there were 45
instruments filed. OF these Ia
were mortgages and Is were
warranty deeds. Twelve mort
cages were filed Friday, "a
warranty deeds, totalling 49 in
struments.
The first day of the month
was the slowest from a stand
point of instruments filed.

MILL Is BURNED
The Loss Almost Total
The Big Grist Mill at Logan
Burned to the Ground

About 8 o'clock last night
the fire alarm was sounded in
Logan and it was found that
the big flour mill of Edgecomb
& Sons was on fire. The fire
company responded promptly,
but found that the mill was
outside of the fire limit and
that there was not hose enough
to reach the building with from
the nearest fire hydrant. Those
who were first on the ground.
found that the fire had started
in the dust room on the third
floor. Barrels Of water and
buckets were always kept in
the mill for fire protection, but
by the time help arrived the
room was so thoroughly afire
that nothing could be done. The
fire soon communicated to TIE
second and first floors and in a
short time the whole structure
was a mass of flames. The
people succeeded in saving
about 200 sacks of four-all
that was saved from the large
stock on hand. This was one
of the best mills in Western
Iowa and was valued at about
S27, 900. 1t had been owned
by Edgecomb & Sons for the
past year and they had made
many improvements in it since
they purchased it. They carried
So, 900 insurance on the build
ing and $4,000 on the contents,
consequently their loss is a very
serious one. The mill had been
inspected two weeks ago by
the state mill inspector and
everything was found in first
class order, and it is a mystery
how the fire originated. The
loss will be a serious one to the
town of Logan as we'll as to
Messrs. E5gecomb & Son, as it
was one Of the principal in
dustries of that town. 1t has
not yet been determined wheth-
er the mill will be rebu;ls or
not.
This weather makes one
think that winter has come to
stay. However the snow is a
fine thing for the fields, even
though the roads will be made
worse.

FROM d HoIlce III tlle NOnpa-
reil from Onawa, we learn that
w. A. Green, generally known
as deacon" Green, died in On
ava, after a lingering illness of
several months. He leaves a
widow and two daughters. He
was an cary settler in Onawa,
having located there in 1868,
and commenced the publication
of newspaper called the Peo-
ple's Press, and was the first
editer of the Seminal. The de-
ceased was rather a unique or
singular character, but a good
citizen, a member of the Con-
gregational church. He was
born in Ohio in 1888, aud was
married three times.
C. Alexander received a let
ter from his son, Charles, last
evening, in which he states
that everything is booming in
Canada where he lives. He is
planning to SOW 700 acres of
grain the coming year. The
banks now rate him at $25, ,0CO
and he is progressing rapidly.
Horses are extremely eXpen-
sive and Mr.. Alexander has
been offered 81 900 for two
teams, but will not sell them,
owing to the Spring work COM
ing on.

The senate at Des Moines
yesterday passed a bill to pro-
hibit lawyers, doctors and other
agents of the railroad compan-
les, who are not giving all their
time to railroad work, from US
ing passes. If this bill becomes
a law it will make it imperative
for the roads to keep such en-
ployes on a salary large enough
to retain them. It would seem
that there has been almost
enough railroad legislation at
this term of legislature and
there is such a thing of carry
ing these reforms too far.

A salesman was showing an
ice cream freezer in the city
Saturday and yesterday which
freezes cream, water ices, sher-
bets, custards, etc., instantly.
The liquids are poured into a
receiver at one end and comes
out the other side frozen ready
for the table and this instantly.
This machine is extremely sim
pie and there is every reason to
believe that it will take the
place of the old time freezers.
A. w. Blackburn, Clerk
of Courts, was in the Valley
this afternoon on business.
