President Willard is Not
Speed Crazy"

President Daniel Wizards policy,
put into effect about eighteen months
ago, of limiting the speed of slow
trains over Baltimore and Ohio lines.
has been found to produce excellent
results. This has been shown both
in the lesseped cost OF engine re-
pairs and in the decreased number
of accidents. Mr.. Willard was
never speed crazy" One OF his
first acts on taking charge OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was to
issue orders that no train was TO ex-
coed sixty miles an hour. This max
imuni was permitted only by-regular
express trains on divisions whore II
was known the roadbed was capable
of sustaining such speed wlthotittoo
much shaking up of the engines and
the cars, and where the danger Of &C
cldents was almost nil. From The
maximum the speed was cut down to
fifty. forty and even thirty miles an
hour. where the condition did not
fully justify faster time.

OFFICER TAKEN TO JAIL.
Deputy United States Marshal Wes-
ley Bryant Arrested at OsceOla.

Wesley Bryant, of Creston, deputy
United States marshal, was arrested
Saturday afternoon at Osceola on the
charge of intoxication. He was TAX
en- into custody by the marshal of
that place while laying over waiting
for the evening train that connects
with the train from Des Moines, and
was held until about 10 o'clock Sat-
urday night, when he was given a
hearing and fined $40 and costs.
Bryant had been to Des Moines on
official business and was returning
to Creston with the four boys that
were recently arrested here for rid
ing a fast mail train. The boys were
taken before Judge Smith McPher-
son at Des Moines and sentenced to
20 days in the county Jail at Creston,
and they were placed in the deputy
marshal's hands to deliver here.
Owing to the condition of the officer
the boys were given splendid op-
portunity to escape, but it seems that
they had no disposition to take ad-
vantage of it. When the rain pulled
into Osceola the marshal of that
place boarded it with the boys and
accompanied them to Creston. The
boys are now serving their time and
Bryant has returned to his home in
Creston.-Creston Advertiser.

The Golfer Trail.

The Reporter man enjoyed a spin
in an auto Sunday over the Golfer
Trail, which runs southwest from
Decatur City. We had heard con-
siderable about this trail, but had
never been over it since Mr.. w. H.
Golfer started in to make a trail
out of one of the worst stretches of
road in Decatur county. And the
trail justifies all the good words
which have been said about it. Be-
fore he commenced working this
road it was almost impossible a
good part of the year, being badly
cut up with bitches, but now it is a
regular boulevard, all nicely graded
and drained so that all of the water
runs along the sides of the road in
stead of in the middle of the road.
1t is nicely crowned, dragged in fine
shape and it is going to be a popular
piece of road for the autoists. We
wish all the road makers in Decatur
county could take a trip over the
Golfer Trail, and pattern after it.

Drew a Big Crowd.

The K. P. band concert Saturday
evening attracted big crowd, the
streets being thronged with people
who came out to hear the fine music.
A notable feature of the big crowd
was the number of autos on the
street, the west side of the square
being crowded with them, many
coming from adjoining towns. I'm
der the able leadership of Prof. T..
Johannes, the band is making great
improvement in their playing and
his fine discipline and hard work is
bringing results. Prof. Johannes
has already become an established
favorite with the people of Leon,
and everything indicates that before
the season is over Leon will have the
best country band in the state of
Iowa. Our citizens are giving the
band very generous support which is
duly appreciated by the boys.

PROPOSITION CARRIED
By a Majority of AZ the Proposition
Carried to Issue SIS, 900 Bonds
for a New hiQh School.

At a special election held last Fri
day the voters of the Leon school
district voted the authorization of a
bond issue of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of providing funds for the erec-
ton of a new High School building
to accommodate the increasing at
tendance in the High School. There
were 2S0 votes cast, and the major
ity in favor of the bonds was A..
There were three spoiled ballots, one
by a male voter and two by lady
voters. The vote among the men
was very close, there being SO votes
in favor of the bonds and 81 against
them, but the ladies came to the sup
port of the proposition in fine style,
casting 67 votes for and only 27
votes against the bonds.
The board expects to get busy at
once and submit plans for the new
building for bids, SO as to have it
completed in time for the opening of
school in September.
While as yet the plans for the
new building have not been definite-
ly settled upon by the board, it is
thought that the new building will
be erected on the north side of the
High School building, just far
enough away from the present build
ing as to not interfere with light and
ventilation, with a passageway con-
Meeting it with the present High
School building.
Everyone who is interested in good
schools for Leon is pleased that the
proposition carried.
