ONE LOCAL SOCIETY EXISTS
Plans Come Out of the Organization

tee Historical Building is Pro-
posed.
Special to Times Republican

Burlington, Sept. 21.-That the or
g%anization of Hawkeye Natives did
itself proud In the management of old
settlers day of the home coming week
was evident to everybody. But 1t is
in the final result that their splendid
efforts will be felt. There are impor-
tant possibilities in the work of q So
ciety along the lines laid out by the
long felt want in Burlington. in pre-
serving the traditions and records OF
the early days in the towns history.
The old settlers day furnished an OPP
portunity to make the society better
known among the older residents, and
the club's roster was increased that
week by the addition of several new
members.
The Hawkeye Natives have started
a movement to form a state organiza-
ton of the society, and in the event
of it's success: the Burlington organi-
zation will have the honor of being
the pioneer branch. 1t would be a
most appropriate honor, for the reason
that the old Flint Hills was the first
territorial capital and much of the in
teresting early history of the Hawk
eye state happened in this section. A
committee consisting of George Ray,
LulSe Palmer and Charles kriechbaum
has been appointed to draw up arti-
cles of Incorporation for a society OF
uawkeye Natives that will include the
entire STATE This committee Will re-
port progress at the next regular meet
ing of the organization, to De held here
early in October.
A great many years ago, Burlington
boosted an historical society that
housed a splendid collection, compris-
ing various valuable documents, In
dian relics and other records. This
building was destroyed by \ fire, re-
sulting in the irreparable loss of a
magnificent historical museum. How
ever. there is little question but that
another historical collection can be
formed ever at this late day, that
would excite the widest interest. Per-
haps in time the Hawkeye Natives may
be able to point to their own splendid
building. Surely no worthier object
might seize the attention of some mar
of wealth, who would devote a part of
his money to creating a splendid mon
ument to his memory, in the form of
an historical building that would stand
for ages. The people who retain pos
session Of articles relating to pioneer
days would probably very willingly
donate the same to this museum.
