WEBSTER CITY IS
TRAVELLERS MECCA
Destitute Family From the North
west Is Headed This Way in
Covered Wagon.

Iowa Falls, Jan. 22.-Money was
raised here day or two ago by pub
lie subscription to help destitute
family OF a man, his wife, and seven
children. to get to their destination
In Webster City. where they claim
to have relatives and friends. The
man claims that the family has made
the trip overland in a couple OF
prairie schooners from the north
west. A stove had been placed In
one Of the canvas covered wagons
to keep the inmates from freezing to
death during the recent extreme
weather. The head OF the family
claimed that he left Iowa last year
and invested all his savings In land.
Crop failure due to the drouth last
summer. he states, left the family
almost destitute and 1t was a case
of travel or starve, and so with two
wagons and four horses he started
back to Gods country. At Hamp-
ton and other points along the route.
the public has contributed to the re-
lief Of these way farers In hopes
they might eventually reach their
Mecca at Webster City.

TRYING EXPERIENCE
BACK In THE EIGHTIES
Clark Woolsey Tells of Trip From
Homer to Webster City
81 Years Ago.

Clark Woolsey. deputy sheriff OF
Webster county, brother Of Lew
Woolsey, and who now resides in
Fort Dodge, recently told repre-
sentative OF the Fort Dodge Chron-
icle Of q little experience he had In
a blizzard twenty-seven years ago,
The story follows:
''It was twenty-seven years age
about this time In January that
Mont Coleman, now of Dayton, and
I started out with loads of wood
from Homer for Webster City" said
Clark Woolsey this morning. land.
he continued, "I distinctly remember
that on account of the snow blocked
condition OF the regular road. Of up
setting four or Ave times before we
reached our destination. When we
loaded up and were ready to start
back. we were urged not to go on
account Of the extreme cold and
strong northwest wind that was
blowing at that time. On one side
OF the street In Webster City the
Thermometer registered SO below
while ON the other side competing
thermometer said It was as below

CITY MAN
FINED A SMALL sum
Arrested for Pushing and Slapping a
Drunken Man who Disturbed
the Peace.

Rowan, Jan. 22.-Something en-
tirely out Of the ordinary In the way
Of court proceedings here was pull
ed off when Mayor Sheldon held q
session one evening last week. Ac-
cording to the story told by wit,
nesses, one, Ben Goodrich. local
railroad employe, entered one Of the
stores In an intoxicated condition
and used language which he should
not have used to one of the proprie-
tors, who told him to leave the
building. One of the spectators was
e. L. Ferrell. a travelling salesman
from Webster City, and 1t was told
that as Goodrich went past him on
his way to the door Ferrell gave
him a push and as the former re-
gained his balance slapped him in
the face with his hand, scratching
his nose with a ring. AS the out
come OF the hearing Ferrell was fin
ed q small amount and released.
Opinion is divided as to the wisdom
Of letting the defendant of so cas-
lily, some saying that the mayor was
altogether too lenient. Others that
in q law-abiding town where intox-
icants are not dispensed men under
the influence OF liquor should keep
OF the streets until they sober up.

but we decided to go just the same,
and when we were out about three
miles Mont's team commenced to get
confused by the drifting snow, and
l would have to stop every now and
then and go back and help him
along. Finally the snow had drift
ed so that 1t was impossible to locate
any road and we commenced to cut
through the fields. and when a house
was sighted / went ahead to see II
we could find cover for ourselves
and teams, leaving Mont with the
teams q safe, calling distance away.
as the snow was blowing SO badly by
that time that you could not see far,
To my surprise we were refused
lodging and were forced to move on.
and soon afterwards Mont commenc-
ed to give out In his legs. / man
aged to get him on the wagon but
then my trouble was to keep him
awake. Well, to make a long story
short. we reached Homer at one
o'clock in the morning and I found
that had frozen my chin. one side
of my face, my chest. fingers and
toes, and the following. July I was
taken down with typhoid fever and
blood poisoning, which the doctor
said was due to that exposure.

TRAMP CANNES TO
BE SHOT ON SIGHT
Mayor Issues Orders to Policemen to
Enforce Dog License
Proposition.

According to orders issued by
Mayor Sparboe, local policemen will
enforce the dog license proposition.
This means that the homeless street
ours must cease to exist. They are
to be shot by the police on sight.
There are probably two hundred
dogs in this city. or this number
there are not more than thirty for
which the tax fund is reimbursed.
In the past few days several cases
Of dogs killing chickens have been
reported. The cause of this Is prob
ably that the animals are unable to
procure food during the cold snap.
OF course some Of these dogs belong
to residents Of the city who do not
want to pay for license. This tax
must be paid, however. Owners OF
dogs who wish to keep their proper
ty should attend to the securing OF
a license. otherwise the CANNES are
liable to come up missing.

MONEY FOR DRAIN
AGE PURPOSES
Hamilton County has Expended
More Than $1,ooo,ooo in the
Past Few Years.

H . ri .
/ That Hamilton county will be one
of the best drained counties in the
state in a few years hence is rea-
sonably certain. No spot in Iowa
is blessed with richer soil and no
place where the acres will produce
more when properly drained and
put in a high state of cultivation.
More than $1,088,000 have been ex-
pended the past years for drainage
in this county and it is likely that
another quarter million will be ex-
pended this year. In 1910 the coun-
ty put $2S9,714.62 into drainage
and last year it expended $271.-
7Os.7s.
There is ample proof wrought
from the school of experience to
show that drainage pays. It is not
an uncommon thing for land own
er to pay for the expense of reclaim-
ing a slough or swamp by the first
years crop. Sometimes 1t takes two
years, sometimes three years, but 1t
always pays and and gives big re-
turns on the investment.

SHOWN BY
ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Railroad Building Mile Of Model
Highway in States Through
Which it Passes.

; . {. / y a 6 /.
TO demonstrate to the farmers
how to have good highways. the IL
linois Central railroad is building In
each state through which 1t runs
one mile OF model road. In Iowa,
near Dyersville, one mile Of such
road was recently completed. @
Desiring to cooperate with the
farmers in some way and wishing
to demonstrate the benefits that
would be derived from the better
ment OF the wagon roads through
the country the Illinois Central hit
upon the above mentioned project.
The most up to date methods OF
dirt road construction are being US
ed by the railroad company in this
work and mode, stretch Of high
way is the result when the work is
completed.
A piece of road similar to that
which has just been built west OF
Dyersville has been completed near
Neoga, Illinois. The Illinois Gen.
trail intends to carry this work into
every state through which 1t oper-
ates before 1t will consider the self
imposed task completed. Good roads
for the farmer means more business
for the railroad and the Central's
move ought to be beneficial all
around.
