So far as we can obtain a state
ment the population of the valley Is
a few over two thousand with a
tota, school population Of 1877. Just
how accurate these are can not be
told. hut they are close and go to
show the growth. 1t would indl-
ca,e that the time is near at hand
for a central school. A school with
high school branches is needed.
AS to cop conditions through
out the valley this fall, it is hard
to make an estimate that would be
altogether fair. The excessive fal,
Of moisture has so retarded the har'

Iowa In 1889 and in 1855 crossed

OLD INDIAN RELICS.
Flood Waters Near Waterloo Unearth
Many Old Arrows and Othes Relies
of the Indian DAYS.

of the Indian Days.
Waterloo, March 19.-Memory of the
Red Man has thrust itself upon our
notice in a particularly interesting
manner in the recent find of some old
relics which became exposed to view
by the high waters of the last few
days.
The bridge which expanded the
Reedy river, has been washed away
by the immense volumes of water
which If possible, exceeded the fresh
ct of 1908 and near the site where
it stood and just partially visible (be-
Ing on the outer edge of the water)
an old indian mound of some height,
has been washed intwain, spreading
its contents to the obseryant eye of
the curious. Arrows, accurately and
beautifully chisselled from stone and
fint-like pebbles, lie glistening in the
sun, their rasor-like ends showing
only too plainly the deadly work
which they accomplished when shot
by the experienced hand of the saw
age in his lust for the blood of the
white man.
Another object that we behold with
almost too much borrow to touch, is a
tomahawk, also of granite and looking
as if it had but just dropped from the
hands Of the chiseher.
Just think what an interesting bit
of history these relics would make,
could we but obtain it and how de-
lighted we would be, could they but
speak and give us their story.

HOLD WITT FUNERAL

The funeral of Frank Witt, the

murdered by Hearst guards, was
held from his home, 1108 Wolf
ram street, this afternoon.
Representatives of the FEEDER
ated Newspaper Trades, the

after having served ten years for
criminal assault upon a woman.
Edward Barrett has served sew
