ing on the assessment rolls as re-
turned by the assessor.
Upon taking Office Mayor Harvey

from his duty he would promptly be
discharged. He gave the new
marshal and nightwatch explicit in
structions that the rowdyism and
vulgar talk which has become so
notorious on the streets must cease,
and ordered them to take prompt
measures to clean up the city in this
respect. He assured them that he
would give them every assistance in
this work, and the officers will also
have the support Of all good citizens
1t has been a disgrace to the city the
way things have been running in
this respect.
The new administration starts out
we'll and we trust that they will
make good. There is much work to
be done in Leon this year, and one
Of the things which should be push
ed ahead is the installation of the
waterworks system which was voted
for last December Much time has
already been lost, and if the water
works are to be installed this year
the city officials will have to push
matters along pretty lively.
The first regular meeting of the
new city council will be held on
Thursday evening of this week.

. MIR. w. c. Cozad, one of the old
time democratic wheel horses Of
Morgan township, announces this
week his candidacy for the demo-
cratic nomination for the Office of
county treasurer, subject to the
decision of the voters at the June
miprary election.
Democrats in all parts of the
county will be pleased to see Mr..
Cozad enter the race. He was the
democratic candidate two years ago.
and polled flattering vote, but was
running against popular official
who was a candidate for a second
term. Many friends from different
parts of the county have been urg-
ing Mr. Cozad to make the race
again this year, and he has con-
sented.
Now that Mr.. Cozad has an
nounced that he will be candidate
there will probably be no opposition
to him at the primary election. He
is one of the most popular men in
Decatur county, and will poll
large vote.

Bankers to Meet at Leon.

Arthur Simmons, of Osceola,
president of Group 8, of the Bankers
Association Of Iowa, was in Leon Fri
day evening and selected Leon as the
place for holding the next meeting oil
the bankers association. the date
being Wednesday, May 4th.
Group nine is composed of the

trict and an attendance of about rs

meeting in Leon. In addition to the
local bankers of the district promin-
ent bankers of Des Moines, Chicago,

in attendance. The local banks are
taking steps to provide entertainment
for the visitors, including a smoker
and program to be held at the K. P.
hall in the evening, following ban
quet held at supper time. It is quite
a compliment to Leon that the con-
vention is to be held in this city, for
usually the meeting is held in one of
the larger cities of the district, and
special effort will be put forth by
our citizens to make the visit of the
bankers pleasant one.

batch of cement bricks which look

Married Sixty Years.

Decatur county is getting a state
wide reputation for the number of
couples living in this county who
have been married fifty years or
more, there having been an unusual
large number of golden wedding cele-
brations the past year. There are
also several couples in this county
who have celebrated their sixt;eth
wedding anniversary, and another was
added to the list last week when Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Harris, of Grand
River, celebrated their sixtieth we'd
ding anniversary on March 28th.
They were married in Randolph
county. Indiana, in 1850, and have
been highly respected citizens of
Grand River for number of years.
A number of their friends assisted
them in celebrating the rare event,
and they received over one hundred
post cards from absent friends.

Some Eggs.

The other day we grew curious to
know just what the population of our
little city is and looked it up in the
1905 census and found it 334, but
from the volume of business done
here one would think it at least three
times that large. Saturday was big
day. All Saturdays are big days in
Grand River, and every other day is a
big day, but last Saturday-well to
make long story short, 1920 eggs
were brought to town and purchased
by our merchants. 1920 dozen at 18
cents means $723.60 paid to the farm
ers hereabouts in one day-that's S
more money than the editor has in his
pocket! Just think of 134 cases COM
ing to little town with a population
of 334 souls in a short eight hours.
Can any town twice it's size beat it?
If SO, we're from Missouri; no, we
don't mean that. We're from Iowa,
and proud Of it, but we are not far
from the Missouri line, and we've got
to be Showed. Grand River Local.

The LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Some Interesting Items Of Local
News Gathered on the Run
During the Past Week.
j. H. Tabler Dies Suddenly.

j. H. Tabler, who lived on county
treasurer Monroe's farm at Garden
Grove, died very suddenly at II
o'clock last Friday night. He had
been in rather poor health for some
months, although not confined to his
bed. He had been at Osceola Friday
attending to some business matters
and returned home in the evening,
feeling better than usual and re-
marked to his wife that he would
commence plowing in the morning.
He retired at the usual hour and
about IL o'clock his wife heard him
exclaim, 20, N.Y." and when she
spoke to him he was dead. His death
resulted from heart trouble and other
complications. The deceased is sur
vived by his wife and one married
daughter, Mrs. Charles Ridgeway,
who with her husband had left only
the previous week for their new
home in Canada. The funeral SER
vices were held at Weldon on Sun
day, interment being in the ceme-
terry at Green Bay. Mr. Tabler was
fifty years of age, and had many
friends who mourn his sudden death.

He Likes Wyoming.

Editor Reporter-It seems that Hal
Gates letter to me, which you pub
lished, has left wrong impression
on the minds of some in regard to
my views about the Cheyenne coun-
try of Wyoming, SO l just thought I
would correct it if you will allow me
the space in The Reporter. / will
just say if go will surely go to the
Cheyenne country as Hal calls it..
This Cheyenne country lies up close
to the mountains and is never both
cred with hot winds, and they have
more rain and less hail than they
do in eastern Colorado. The state
experiment station is near Cheyenne,
and they have proved the fertility of
the soil by raising 80 bushels of
wheat, 40 bushels of oats, Sc BUSH
els of beardless barley per acre, good
crops of alfalfa and all kinds of veg
etables, and as high as 80 bushels of
corn per acre. Now, am not a land
agent and have no interest in locat-
ing anyone in any locality, but l
want to be properly understood in
regard to my views of the west,

March This Year Best in the History
of Weather Man.

March, the month just passed, has
every other March in the history of
the Des Moines weather bureau, beat
for fine weather. There were fewer
cloudy days, Old Sol shined more
brightly, there was less wind, less
rain, and more bright warm days than
any previous March.
The average temperature for last
month was 51.4, the average maxi
man 63.4, and the average minimum
was 39.5. The highest average tenn
perature established by any other
March was 435.
The warmest day was March %, at
SO. The coolest was "a, on March 10.
There has only been .33 of an inch of
rain during the month.

Price of Hogs in 1865.

Hogs were higher in Chicago last
week than they were since early in
1866, they being worth at last week
$11.20, but when you compare the
value of the dollar that it took to pay
for 100 pounds of live hog meat in
1855 with the value of the dollar to-
day there is pretty big difference.
The paper dollar at, that time was
worth about 81 cents, measured in
gold. Today 1t is the actual gold
value we are paying. In 1855 the
$3.50 in paper was the equivalent
Of $4.99h in gold, so that hogs last
week were about two and a quarter
times as high as they were at that
time. 1t was the deprecated cur
rency that made things high in those
days. Today it is something quite
different.

stall by contributions from the busi-
nessmen if the city would furnish
the lights. A subscription paper was
circulated and quite a number of
business firms signified their will
ingness to contribute. The matter
was taken up at the meeting OF the
Commercial Club Friday night and a
committee consisting Of Jas. w.
Hurst, NJ. F. Grimes and L. Van
Werden was appointed to investi-
gate and report on the matter.
Charlton, Abba, Osceola, Creston,
and other southern Iowa towns are
installing these lights and it would
be a great advertisement for Leon,
although it would cost quite a sum
of money. But everything good costs
money these days.

of last week interviewing some of
the Leon businessmen in regard to
installing some ornamental iron
street lights in the business section of
