History.

History is made by one set of men
and written by another.
The character of the written history
depends upon the politics Of the his

Most histories are written many
years after the history was made In
these circumstances no one can step
forward and dispute the historian.
History is studied at school and for

We are told to Judge the future by
the past, and after we read the his

luncheon at the Miller Hotel
at noon today. Only about a
dozen were present but it was
a jolly crowd gathered around

carried back as far as 1882 and

that time was Jimmie" the

are for the promotion of
good feeling between the Uni
versity and its students, both

1910

The year 1910 has been a
banner year for Missouri Val
ley. There have been more
public improvements during
this year than during any like
period in the history of the
city. You will hear many peo-
pie say that Missouri Valley is
going to the dogs and that it
isn't the town it used to be, but
when it comes to figures it can
easily be seen that we are forg-
ing ahead and very rapidly.
There is nothing here to cause
a boom but the town that en-
joys a good steady growth is
built upon more enduring
foundation than the boom town
This city isa typical residen-
ce town with fine homes, excel
lent churches and the finest
school system to be found any
where. It is situated in a val
ley far richer than the famous
Valley of the Nile and the crops
of the vicinity would have
made Pharoah rich in one year.
Among the improvements
for the past year the following
are the most important.
100000 drainage ditch, re-
claiming many acres of rich
fertile land. 100000 Electric
light and power plant, furnish
ing light and power to Missouri
Valley, Blair, Neb., Magnolia
and Logan with several more
towns in prospect. $4,000
telephone system with all mod
ern improvements including
underground wiring.
$4,000 Sewerage system
$4,000 Mausoleum
$4,000 Carnegie Library
$4,000 Photoplay House
The streets have the most
modern system of street light
ing and are a pattern for many
other cities.
No new business blocks have
been added but many have
been remodeled and beautified
and the principal business
street presents an up to date
appearance.
DR.. CANDLES residence is the
only pretentious dwelling built
during the past year but sever
alare talking of building in the
spring.
Real Estate has been moving
quite freely the past year and
town lots as we'll as farm prop
erty has brought a good price.
Many Improvements are
contemplated for the coming
year such as new shops, a new
electric line, street paving, etc.
Taken as a whole, the year
1910 has been a very prosper
GUS one for this city and the
towns people as a whole are un.
tied as never before in boost
ing for Missouri Valley.
