Notice to the Public.

We wish to inform the public cor
rectly regarding the interruption of
the electric light service of last Sat-
urday night and two other nights in
the past. These Interruptions were
caused by limbs of trees coming in
contact with our high tension wires,
so if you want service please let us
trim the trees along our lines. In
every case the wires were burned off
and one or both dropped to the
ground,
We further wish to caution the
public regarding the danger of touch
ing these wires and especially warn
the children should they find any
on the ground to not touch them. In
a number of instances parties have
thrown wires across our transmits
sion lines to see the flash that results.
We wish to warn all persons against
so doing. 1t is highly dangerous and
may cause untold damage. The law
especially provides heavy penalty
for Interfering with such lines and
we mean to see that the law is en-
forced should anyone further inter-
fere with our lines at any point.

County attorney Ed H. Sharp re-
turned last Wednesday evening from
Usage, Canada. where he had been
tc look after some land which he
owned. While there he visited W. A.
A,lbangh and sons, and says they
have 500 acres of the best land in
that country. He brought back
samples of potatoes and oats raised
on their farm and they are fine. They
had 565 acres of oats in tn s year
and are harvesting a splends l crop.
They also had in good wheat and
flax crops. The farm is we'll improv-
ed, having a barn holding 36 head Of
stock, granaries and other improve
ments. Mr.. Sharp says, it is one
of the most valuable farms in that
section and that Mr.. Allbaugh made
good thing when he traded for 1t.
At the time Mr.. Sharp was there Mr..
A!lbaugh and sons were hauling
grain for some of their neighbors
who were threshing, and were receiv-
ing $500 per day for man and team.
In that country when grain is
threshed it is hauled direct. to the
elevators in the town, and teams are
in great demand.

CLAIMED FOR CREsToN, IOWA.
Swift 4 Company to Build Largest
Structure of Its Kind.

The largest single building exclus-
lively devoted to the poultry, butter
and egg business in the United States
is to be erected at Creston. This is
the word that comes from Swift &,
Company of Chicago with regard to
the rebuilding Of the plant which was
destroyed by fire few weeks ago.
The building will be five stories in
height and the ground floor will be
96x12O feet. 1t will be built of re-
inforced concrete and will be abso-
lutely fire proof. The style of con-
struction will be such as to insure an
abundance of light and air in all de-
partments and special attention will
be paid to sanitation throughout.

The Library Benefit Entertainment.

A fair sized audience, attended the
library benefit entertainment given
at the opera house last Friday even
ing under the direction of Prof. Il.
Johannes, who had been drilling
choruses for several weeks, and the
entertainment was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present. Miss Clara Self
kin, the talented vocalist OF Omaha,
sang several solos and was heartily
encored. Mrs. Sam C. Johnston, of
Glidden, formerly Of Leon, was the
accompanist at the piano, and Leon
people were pleased to hear her
again in this capacity in which she
has few equals. Her daughter, Miss
Margaret, played several selections
on the violin and she shows marked
improvement since she had appeared
before a Leon audience before. Miss
Enid Alexander, the talented violin
ist of this city, was a favorite with
the audience, her selection bein ex-
ceptionally fine. She is an artist on
the violin and her pleasing personal
ity adds to the enjoyment of her
fine music The other numbers on
the program, the reading by Miss
Mabel Horner, song and chorus by
Miss Cecil Grimes, the special Choir
uses were all good. The hit of the
evening was the black face character
song by Ancil Barry ana the Anvil
Chorus from I'll Trovatore" by a
chorus of fifty voices was excellent.
The performance throughout was a
meritorious one and deserved much
larger audience than was present.

THAT NEW..PAVlNG LAW
REGARDING Assessing for Improve
ments Does Not Go Into Effect
Until January lst, 1914.

We have had several inquiries from
Leon citizens in regard to an item
printed last week regarding the as
sessment of the cost of street i'm
provements to property within 800
feet of the improvement. The new law
does not go ito effect until January
1st. 1914, and it is not known yet
whether the city council will make
the assessments before that date or
not, this depending on whether the
paving is completed in time to make
the assessments under the present
law which provides that the cost
shall be assessed only on property
within $50 feet of the improvements.
The following is the full text of the
law which will go into effect on the
first day of next January, it being
passed by the last legislature:
Section /. Assessing cost of i'm
provement. Whenever after January
l, 1914, any city or town council, in
Guiding the councils of cities acting
under special charter, levies any spec
ial assessment for street improve
ment as provided by section 1872 of
the code and amendments thereof,
the same shall be made in accordance
with the provisions or section 191a
of the supplement to the code, 1907,
and shall be limited to the amount to
be assessed against private property,
against all lots and parcels of land
according to area so as to include
one half of the privately owned prop
.erty between the street improved and
the next street whether such private
ly owned property abut upon said
street or not but in no case shall
privately owned property situated
more than 800 feet from the street so
improved be so assessed. In case Of
improvement upon an alley, such as
,sessment shall be confined accord
ing to area to privately owned prop
erty within the block or blocks i'm
proved and if not plated into blocks
for not more than $50 feet from such
improved alley.

Will Build Tubercular Hospital at
County Farm.

The board of supervisors visited
the county farm Tuesday and made
arrangements for erecting a tuber-
cular ward. After looking over the
buildings at the farm they decided to
move the south wing of the building,
which is only one story high, away
from the building about fifty feet,
and it will be fitted up for tuber-
cular detention ward to conform with
the state law. To replace the part
removed they will erect two story
wing with basement on the main
building, an improvement which has
been badly needed. The work will
probably not be commenced until
spring, as cold weather would inter-
fere before it could be completed.

Auto Went Into the Ditch.

There was another auto accident
on the south side of the Coffin hill
in south Leon last Saturday, but for
tunately no one was injured. Mr..
and Mrs. C. E. Bentley and their
daughter, Mrs. Chester Eubanks,
Mr.. Eubanks and children of Lucas
county, were enroute to Lamont to
visit relatives. The roads were quite
muddy and just after they reached
the top of the Coffin hill the car
skidded and went into ditch at the
side of the road, partly turning it
over, but none of the occupants were
injured as they were driving very
slowly at the time of the accident.
Mrs. Bentley and Mr.. and Mrs. Eu-
banks and children went to Lamont
on the noon train, and Mr.. Bentley
remained and after getting the auto
out of the ditch and placing it in the
garage, he went to Lamont on the
evening train.

A Humane Society Needed.

lnere is need of a Humane Society
in Leon according to the reports of
a number of citizens who reside in
northwest Leon All of the heavy
hauling of sand and concrete for the
big paving contract is pulled up from
the new switch track which ends at
the cemetery crossing. The contrac-
tors require that all loads hauled
by teamsters must be of certain
size, and some of the teams used on
the hauling are not fit for such
heavy work. Several ladies have
called at The Reporter Office to pro-
test over the way the teams are
worked, claiming that they are abus-
ed and made to haul heavier loads
than they are able to. The teams of
which complaint is made are those
shipped into here from Des Moines.
and they look as if they were ready
for the bone yard instead of being at
work on heavy hauling.
