one Of the Veterans Has Occasion to
Settle Dispute as to Which
Road Was First to Enter
Ottumwa
GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY
Nicholas Baker, Of ottumwa, Speaks
Of How Burlington Enjoined
Rock island, Causing Three
Months Delay.

Probably some of the veteran rail
road men of Keokuk could throw a
little light on the question of prior
ity as to the c., B. & @. and the Rock
Island roads entering Ottumwa, which
has been widely discussed during the
past few weeks. Nicholas Baker, a
pioneer of Ottumwa, is given credit
for finally settling the controversy
by laying claim to the distinction of
having ridden into Ottumwa on the
first railroad train that ever entered
that city keokuk railroad men will
be interested in the following little
history related by the old gentleman:
1T does not matter what anyone
says about the Keokuk & Des Moines,
or what is now known as the Rock
Island railroad entering Ottumwa be-
fore the Burlington, l happened to be
here at the time, and am sure of
what say" said Mr.. Baker The
date of the initial visit of the rail
road trains into this city was Sun
day, August 30. 1859, and / came
with that train from Agency. That
was not my first visit to Ottumwa,
however, as had often come here in
the exercise of my duties in the en-
ploy of Mendenhall & Whitam, COM
mission men who handled the freight
of the local business houses much the
same as the transfer houses do now
and served as a medium between the
shipper and the railroads at the near
est point of the road to Ottumwa. In
short it was freight house for the
railroads. ! followed this business
from the time the road entered Mt
Pleasant until after the road came
to Ottumwa, where ! left the employ
@oE Mendenhall & Whitam and later
Engaged in business.
The following day after the first
Yin entered Ottumwa the Burling
@Sh road began the regular train ser
& he and antedated the Rock Island by
bre than a year. The Rock Island
ben entering Ottumwa was enjoin
s by the Burlington and had to wait
& ~ at Sugar Greek for three months
ecause the Burlington would not per
pit the competing road to cross its
y Packs, but finally this was accom-
blished at point near Iowa avenue
(which crossing was abolished the time
8the grade east of Ottumwa was
changed by the Burlington. The Rocb
Island railroad was at Bentonspori
when the Burlington entered Ottumws
and did not make its entry into OF
tumwa until October, 1860 suppose
that my recollections of Ottumwa ir
the early days would fill a volume Of
about 700 pages"

RESPONSIBILITY Meroed

Cedar. Rapids Gazette: Each coun-
Gilman is responsible for what goes
on in his own department, but each
councilman has also some responsible
ity in the management of departments
other than his own. And the mayors
responsibility is the greatest of all.
He is the general overseer of all the
departments. The council, under the
commission plan, is minded to be a
closely compact, coordinate, co-orera-
tive body Their responsibility can be
compared with the responsibility of
bank directors. If banks affairs go
wrong, all the directors are blamed.

II does not begin to show the real ex-
penditures made for new buildings In
one case building permit was taken
out for $4,000, about the amount OF
the material and labor to go into the
frame. Afterwards the plans were re-
vised, owing to demand for office
room, additional height added, and the
total cost OF the structure will be In
the neighborhood OF $4,000, and the
demand for office room has so in
creased that If the building had not
been too far along to completion an
other story would have been added and
additional cost OF $4,000 put on the
expense bill
The same experience was had by
every owner who constructed office
buildings during the year, and in every
case the permit expenditure was ex-
ceeded by many thousands OF dollars.

pendltures for new buildings in the city
OF El Paso for the year 1909 at $2,175,-

Many Skyscrnpers.
The year 1909 was remarkable I'm
the building history OF the city for
the number OF large office buildings
erected, and the class OF construction
ruling. The Rio Grande Bank and
Trust company erected a seven story
bank and office building. OF reinforced

Projected Buildings.
The building operations of the year
1910 VIII aggregate more than $4,000
600 In buildings already started. pro-
]ected or having progressed to the
stage or having the plans prepared, and
include several seven and eight story
OFFICE buildings, four or five large
buildings for the acommoda tion Of bus
mess houses alone, and an immense de-
partment store.
The American National bank has the
pans Tor a seven story banking and
office building, to be OF the latest con-
structlon and exceedingly ornamental.
The construction Of this building will
begin at once and the demand for office
room Is already so strong as to make
IT probable that the building will be
made either eight or nine stories in
stead or seven, as now called for by
the plans.
Arrangements are being made for tho
construction Of an eight story office
building to cover onefourth OF the block
facing on Eel Paso and San Antonio
streets, the estimates on this structure
being fully 100000.
An immense twostory and basement
building Will be constructed on the site
now occupied by the Hoyt Furniture
company, for the use OF the firm 1t
Will be completed and occupied by the
middle OF the summer.

proved construction will be put at the
corner OF Mesa and st. Louis, the pres
ent tenants having been notified to va
cate at once
Two more large business blocks will
be erected on the property belonging
to the FL Paso & Southwestern inter-
ests in the heart Of the city, to be COM
pleted and Occupied before the fall
months. Two are now in course Of con-
struction along that right OF way.
Ohio capitalists are now looking over
the city for a suitable site for q large
trust company, and they expect to build
because they have been unable to find
suitable location otherwise, and the
structure Will be one of the largest and
best office buildings in the city.
In addition to the above buildings
there are large number OF smaller

constructed during the year, in a num-
