TRY PRAIRIE CHICKENS
Suggestion That They Be Given a
Chance With the Pheasant.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Indications
are that prairie chickens are plenti-
full in South Dakota. Now, there are
plenty of grasshopperS in Iowa, and it
is generally understood that the prai,
rie chicken specializes on grasshop'
pers. 1t is also understood that there
must be some money in the state
fund, to which the hunters have been
contributing quite literally. Now
why not divide up the patronage. In
stead of putting it all into Hungarian
cartridges from Illinois, which may
or may not thrive in Iowa, why not
put some of that hunters fund into
South Dakota prairie chickens
Everybody knows that they would
thrive in Iowa, if given only half a
chance, and your Hungarian pleas
ants will have to be an exceptionally
fine bird if he is going to be more
palatable than a fine, plump young
prairie chicken. The loyal lowan will
gamble on the prairie chicken with
out ever experimenting on the i'm
ported bird.

THE VALUE. OF HORSES
Assessors Make a Great Difference
in Same Age and Condition.

According to the official reports the
most valuable horses in Iowa are in
Marion county. The average value
of horses years old or over in that
county, as indicated by the assessors
books, is now S112.43. Horses of
same age and condition in Chickasaw
county are worth for taxation pur-
poses only $4.96 The discrepancy
this year Is not as great, however, as
last year, as Chickasaw horses in
creased in value 20 cents each and
those in Marion lost $2.5S each.
The returns Of assessors in the Of
flee of the state auditor shows many
other similar striking contrasts. Hors-
es 3 years old in Butler county are
worth $107.34 each and in Buchanan
$1OO.S9: but in Cerro Gordo they are
worth $685. each. In Polk county
they are listed as worth 500; in Ma.
haska county, $1,000; in Linn county,
$90.55; in Woodbury., $4S.SS; in Mar
shall, 1929; in Dubuque, $S4.S2.
There Is not such diversity in the
assessor estimate on the value of
cows. In Delaware, famed for dair-
les, the cows are listed at $20.O7 each,
in Black Hawk, S24.42; in Buchanan,
$2S.23. But in Johnson, Cedar and
Warren, they are all reckoned as
worth over $29 each.
The valuation placed on Iowa swine
runs from "a to so head.

Heavy Storm DAMAGE.

DEBORAH, Aug. 14-Special: An.
other electrical storm more severe
than the one a week ago struck De-
corah and vicinity Saturday evening
and continued until o'clock Sunday
morning. 1t was a continuous flash of
lightning and roar of thunder, the
worst in the history of DEBORAH. Rain
fell in torrents as well as more or less
hail. The upper Iowa river has gone
over it's banks, transforming the val
ley into lake. All kinds of debris
is seen floating down the river includ-
ing hundreds of bundles of grain in
the shock, which was not stacked. A
good sized bridge was seen floating
down. All means of communication
from the rural districts are cut off.
The telephone lines are out of COM
mission. but reports obtainable say
that much damage has been done.
The report of cloudburst at Lory,
Mimi, explains the high water in the
river.

THE OLD MORMON TRAIL
Rev. Henry De Long of Council Bluffs, the only snrvivor
of the Great Treck has rendered his services to the
Daughters ofhe Revolution in locating the Trail

Sixty-five years have passed since
the Mormons having been driven out
of Nauvoo, entered upon their toll
some march across the state of Iowa.
There is but one known survivor of
that march in Iowa, the Rev. Henry
belong of Council Bluffs. He has Of
fered to assist the Daughters of the
American Revolution in locating and
marking the ancient trail. In letter
to the Des Moines Capital, Mr.. De.
Long says:

| was only boy of eleven, my remem-
brance of the route We passed over is
not very clear However, l know
there were three different trails
across Iowa, all merging into one at
Kanesville, now Council Bluffs. One
of these trails started from Burling-
ton, one from Keokuk and another
from Montrose. The route | came over
started from Keokuk, which of course
was just rough government trail,
and in many cases the engineers
went ahead and marked the path,
leaving flags as signals to show the
way. The route we followed from
Keokuk can now be followed by towns
which have sprung up since. From
Keokuk to Charlton, Garden Grove,
Soap Creek, Winterset, Atlantic and
then to Macedonia where we erected
mill, calling 1t Stutsman's mill.
From here we went on through to
Council Bluffs, then called Kanesville.

old trail for fifty miles (as far as
Atlantic) that | could trace it by fol

the old land marks (gullies, etc. are
still in existence.
when we reached Kanesville the
Pottawattamie Indians were just
leaving for their reservation, while

side entrance on the east. The NOR
tuary room or morgue Is separated
from the other apartments and is To-
Gated at the extreme north end of the

ideal work room for the handling of
such cases as may be necessary to
take to the room for preparation.
In addition to the line of undertake
ing, Mr.. Hersman will handle picture
mouldings and will do a side work of
frame making.
l.. NJ. Hersman is a lifelong funer.

Held to the Grand Jury,

Buxton, Aug. 14.--Special: John
Jackson, who is accused of stabbing
Blakey to death, was given a prelim-
mary hearing before Squire Foster,
at Buxton, and bound over to the
grand jury. There was one of the
largest crowds present that has ever
attended a preliminary hearing in the
county and there was some little fear
that Jackson might meet with bodily
harm. From the evidence that was
introduced Jackson had an open knife
in his hand and he cut Blakey through
the abdomen and then pursued him
for several blocks, or until Blekey
fell PROSTATE. When Blakey was TAX
en- to his home he told his sister
Jackson had done the cutting. Coun.
ty Attorney Bates and George Fl.
Woodson will prosecute the case
while Attorney j. r. Price will defend.
