Mr.. David Bebel was sent to
Mo. Valley this morning by the
Pension Board of the Chicago
and Northwestern for examin-
alton by DR.. Colt in regard to
his retireing from the service,
after continuous service of
thirty-one years on the Sioux
City division, as baggageman.
Mr.. Bedel is an old soldies, hav-
ing served through the late
war in the 3rd Wisconsin Bat
terry. The pension department
of the Northwestern road is
certainly commendable and it
is witha feeling Of regret that
they see their old time EN-.
ployes leave the service.

1t is estimated that there were
700 Knights at the initiation.
After the work was completed
a five course banquet was serv-
ed and many toasts responded
to during the evening. There
were about forty members of
the Missouri Valley Council
present. This meeting was one
of the most successful ever
held in this part of the country

interest, but it reminds US that
the troubles of the American

greater every day.

Historic Omaha Fire.
Nonpareil.

Nonpareil.
Fire Chief Charles M. Nichol-
son and City E!ectrian James G..
Bradley went to Omaha last
evening to attend the annual
banquet of the Veteran Fire
mems association, held at Hen
shaw.
In speaking of the banquet
yesterday, Chief Nicholson re-
called the occasion of one of
the first visits of the local fire
department to Omaha, on the
evening of Thursday, Septem-
ber 5th, 1878, when the Grand
Central hotel burned.
For some time the Rescue
hose team had been practicing
daily in preparation for the
fremen's tournament, held at
Missouri Valley on September
|6. 1873. On the afternoon of
tho fira Il the Grand Central
hotel he, were practicing on
First avenue between Pearle
and Sixth street, when they
were advised by Andrew c..
Graham to get ready for a call
to Omaha, and they had scare
ely gathered Up their hose and
put their outfit inso shape
when a telegra was received
from Mayor R. H. Wilbur Of
Omaha, asking for aid.
Returning from the fire late
that night the Council Bluffs
firemen snatched a few hours
of sleep and in the morning
went to Missouri Valley to par
ticipate in the firemen's tour
ment. The hand engine re-
qnired complete overhau|ing
after its service in the fire and
when the boys finally entered
the race they were compelled
to use the Missouri Valley en-
gine. This with their fatigue
from the strenuous service at
the Omaha fire, and the illness
of their coupler, James Amy,
caused them to lose the race by
the close margin of three sec
onds.
The Council Bluffs men were
almost exhausted from their
labors at the Omaha fire, other
wise, it was conceded that they
had an excellent show to win
the race. They were guests of
honor at the tournament. The
members of the team from this
city were Charles M. Nicholson,
John L. Templeton, C. D Voor-
his, Louis Boekhof, Thomas
Piles, Charles Matthai, Phillip
Belts, Adam Miller, M. p
Brown, j. N. Beckley, Lon
Betes and Charles Walters.
The above from the Nonpar-
ell gives an account of the
great hose race in this city
thirty years ago between the
hose teams of Council Bluffs,
Mo. Valley, Sioux City and
Onawa. 1t was a gala day for
Mo. Valley as they were victor
ious in the race, and the town
was turned over to them," and
the boys surely had a good tine
in turning it back" The fol-
lowing citizens of Mo. Valley
at that time composed the vic.
torious Mo. Valley running team:

Onawa, Feb. %. The county
board of supervisors has been
in session since Monday and
awarded the contract for two
cut-offs of the Maple river, be-
tween Castana and Turin. The
cut-offs will strajghten the
river beginning at the old
Everts farm and connect with
the Sioux below Turin. The
price which the contracts were
llet was at a very much higher
rate than the board had hore
of getting, but upon the advice
of the majority of the tax pay
ers in the district, the contract
was let. The Canal Construc-
tion company will get the cut
offs and Fred Crane will have
the work on the lateral. The
price named is II cents for the
ditch and ID cents for the lat
eral.
At the session of the Board
of Supervisors this week the
following bills were put in for
expenses for quarantining
small pox cases: Cass, s45.OO;
Jefferson, 1924 80; Missouri
Valley, $l0966; Morgan, $2l9;
Modale, $4,000; Magnolia,
$26.67; Allen, $l5.25; Jackson,
$1,000. The quarantine laws
of Iowa are causing some con-
sternation among the people in
general and it is thought by
many that they should be made
more moderate if not repealed.
In several northern states they
have no quarantine laws and in
consequence people do not have
to be forced to be vaccinated
but go to the doctors willingly.

Jesus Offers to Help a Tired

This was the theme at the
Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. "a slave in Uncle
Toms Cabin-comes from the
field at night casts himself
down in his hut, utterly tired
out. Someone in the hut utters
words of the text "come unto
me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and | will give you
rest" Them's good words, I"
said the tired slave, "but who
says them?' Yes, everything
depends on that. Let us sup
pose that Emperor William
should say them. Would we

bassador who was shot down ON
the streets of Pekin in Boxer

Dear Comrade: We had a
much better trip up here than

while up town yesterday, and
uses it to help out on his pillow
at night. Only one small hard
| pillow to each cot. Through
the centre of room, dropping
about Ia inches, and six foot

air is constantly forced, coming
into the room through screen
covered openings about seven

Jack Hoage, driver of the
army automobile, whizzed into
the Mo. Valley at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He left
Marshalltown at 4::lO Saturday
day evening. He was accom-
panied by a guide from Carroll.
Telephone messages had an
nounced the coming of the car
and several hundred people
lined the streets to see it. The
speed limit was surely broken
as the car came down Erie
street. The driver had been
notified at Logan that a tele.
phone message. am Chicago
awaited him here at the long
distant phone and he drove
direct to the phone office. The
car stood in the street in front
of the telephone office for
about five minutes so every
body had a chance to look it
over. 1t was covered with mud
from end to end and showed it
had had hard usage. The
driver left for Omaha as soon
as he had answered the
telephone call, making the mud
fly. This machine is not in the
New York to Paris race, but is
carrying a message from Gen
Grant in New York to the
commander at Fort Leaven-
worth Kansas.

Enmet Tinley of Council
Bluffs was a Logan visitor We'd
nesday evening. He took sup

Baptist church. He came up
from the Valley to catch a
train to Council Bluffs. We
understand that Mr.. Tinlev, C.
A Bolter and ]. s. Dewell have
been employed by those who
ere suffering from the intoler-
abe conditions caused by tie
filling of the Willow Creek
ditch with mud and sediment
and thus flooding the lands ad-
j,cent. as Willow Park addition
and the Fair grounds. These
attorneys have been employed
to enforce the fulfllment of a
contract. If the sediment that
h I'd been deposited in the ditch
by the July 1907 floods had
been removed last fall as The
Observer recommended then
the flood waters of February
1908 might have overhowed
lands near the south line of the
county, but the lands that have
been and are overfiowed now,
would have escaped. OF course
the ice stopped, gorged. when
it grounded on the sediment.
The water was not deep ersough
to float it. The water would
have been deep enough had the
channel been clean, the con-
tract depth, as it should have

w. A. Smiths Views Regard
ing the Willow Creek
l have been asked by several
my views regarding the capac-
ity of the Willow Creek ditch
when completed. submit for
your consideration the follow
ing:
In the first place, | think the
ditch will be large enough if
completed as intended by ]. S.
Wattles, the first engineer in
Charge.
l figure that 1O5,6OO Gu. #.
of water running past Mo. VAL
ley in l hour when water is l
#. deep in the ditch and when
Ia #. deep 287 times as much
or 3O,3O7,200 GU. #. per hr.
o. as a comparison, a body of
water ] mile wide and l #.
deep from Calhoun to Mo. Val
ley IN 3 hours, the water being
II to ID # deep in the ditch.
If the Willow Creek ditch is
completed and levees put up of
uniform height of Is or l6 #.
above grade line of the bottom
of the ditch, the Mo. Valley
people need not move to the
hills in fear of an overflow, as
there is ample room to carry ]
more water between the levees
than has been figured. The
bridges should be elevated ac-
cordingly. Yours for argu-
ment. w. A. Smith.
