[By o. o. Newberry.]

There is herewith presented view
of one of Lee county's oldest school
house, which was built about 20 years
ago and is still standing on the o. o.
Newberry farm near Argyle, Iowa.
The aged structure remains just as it
was built with the exception of the
roof, which has been recovered sew
eral times. The original shingles were
clapboards and were made out of oak.
The sheeting consisted of poles with
the round side down and notched into
the rafters, which were also made OF
unhewn black oak poles.
This schoolhouse was used as a
church and Sunday school. The writer
has heard many sermons delivered
therein, by a Presbyterian minister
named Williams, who was the father
of l.. E. Williams of Keokuk also by
man ramed Beman who died in
Croton many years ago Rev. Bishop,
Methodist divine, preached there.
The Sunday school teacher that | re-
member was little old bald-headed
blacksmith who was known by the
sobriquet of Dad Herald" He re-
minded one of bullfrog because his
voice was SO much larger than his
body.
The furniture of this old structure
consisted of logs, with the two legs
in each end driven into an auger hole,
fiat side up for the laying of seats.
Not far from the school house on
the west side is an old trail that is
plainly visible now and runs in a
northwesterly direction. This is the
road that Brigham Young and 500 OF
his followers in one body traversed
as they started west. They camped
on my grandfather's land long enough
to make him 10000 rails at Is cents
per hundred The spot is marked
where Brigham Young's tent stood !;
three trees have grown in almost ex-
actly where the corners of the tent
stood. This trail may now easily be
traced each way for miles. 1t was the
only road running from the southeast
to the northwest across Lee county.
The old building is now used for an
ice house Tenants have lived in the
frame house shown in the picture and
used the old structure as summer
kitchen.

ed with Brigham Young and q great

quently told me about the hardships
suffered by those people
The school house was built by my
father, A. B. Newberry, and my uncle,
James Newberry, both deceased and
buried in the Meeks' cemetery They
were assisted by two men named
Potts and Dose, whose graves are
visible only by the sunken mounds in
the earth. They were buried on the
same day sixty years or more
ago In the native woods, one mile
west of the building. Their graves
were located near large oak tree
that has since disappeared.

Rewriting of the City.

Construction of the new lighting
system involves the placing Of new
poles and stringing of new insulated
copper wire. Economy, efficiency of
service and appearance Of the streets
and alleys would be subserved by the
consolidating of the electric light
and telephone system wiring on a
single set Of poles. With that end
in view the management of the tele.
phone companies have been approach
ed. II the proposition is not accept
able the public utilities company will
build system for it's exclusive use
1t is said that nearly one-half Of the
wires in some alleys OF the city are
dead" and useless and interrupt SER
vice and are a constant element of
danger. Joint use Of one system Of
poles would prove desirable in many
ways. The electric light wires could
be strung on one level and the tele-
phone wires upon lower one. The
former will be at sufficient height
to pass over trees, thus lessening the
danger of interruption and breakages
in the wiring. The new arc light sys-
tenn will probably be divided into
four circuits instead of three, as at
present, SO that the stringing of the
new insulated copper wire will cause
the least interruption to the lighting
system.
Three miles of 2-o-copper wire for
the purpose Of strengthening the mo-
tor power circuit has already been
strung. 1t has increased the voltage

The keokuk Lighting System.
While the plans and purposes of the
new owners of the public utilities
have not been formulated in detail,
1t Is definitely known that they in
tend to provide Keokuk with the best
public and private lighting service
extant. The city has already entered
into contract for 1876 street lamps

night service every night in the year,

Street Railway Improvement.
The Keokuk street railway system
will be modernized to date and opera
ted to accommodate the public in the
largest degree possible. No extern
sions have been decided on but they
will come as the growth of the city
appears to justify. Suggested con.
struction is out Main street in the
direction of the site of the proposed
new baseball park, from Nineteenth
on Timea and Carroll to intersect the
Fifth street line, and to the proposed
new grounds of the Keokuk Country
club. Any new factory district that
arose would be the terminus of an ex
tension.
The entire six miles of the street
railway system will be put in first
class condition. A new modern track
will be laid, 7O-pound rails being used
on the streets paved with brick and
60 pound rails on other thoroughfares
These are heavier than the rails or
dinarily laid In towns of Keokuk's
population.
New rolling stock will be provided
when the track is rebuilt. Though
the style or class of car has not
been selected the public may be as
sured that it will be modern and
comfortable. Cars will be operated
with sufficient frequency to meet pub.

The Hamilton uptown line nav be
extended to the city limits or to one
or more of the additions to that thriy-
ing town.
An Illinois system of interurban
lines to extend from Quincy to Maui
VOC and Fort Madison and from Car
thage to KeolSuk is engaging the at.
tention of the business interests of
those towns and 1t Is not altogether
improbable that the new owners of
the keokuk street railway may be-
come interested In the financing, con-
struction and management of this pro-
posed system Preliminary organiza-
ton has been effected and work on
this project is progressing.
The magnetic lamp that is to be
used in the public illumination Of
keokuk will be introduced in Hamil-
ton, otherwise it would be necessary
for the Keokuk company to operate
two systems of street arc lighting.
The Gas Plant
Some improvements at the gas plant
are contemplated. There will probably
be extensions Of some of the mains
and new weighing machines and me-
tiers will be introduced with other
equipment. Further than this no
definite plans have been perfected
respecting the gas plant.
These contemplated improvements
that are now In progress are among
the most desirable Of the several good
things that have come to Keokuk
within year. The engineering tai
ent and capital of the new owners
will provide this city with modern
public utilities that will fully meet
requirements and expectations Of the
community.
