Autos Cut Rail Receipts.
The railroads are complaining of the
light travel This is undoubtedly due
in large measure to the competition OF
the automobiles. There has not been
a very good feeling toward the rail-
roads among state fair visitors because
of refusal to gran rates as low as in
former years, and the disposition IS
to make use of the autos as far as pos

Eldora, Sept. 5.-The Hardin county
grand jury. completed its labors for the
present term Friday afternoon and re-
ported its findings in open court. The
most important and undoubtedly the
most talked about piece of work of the
present grand jury was the resolution
asking for an investigation of the books
far as they refer to the work Of the last
three years in reference more particu
larly to the county engineers office
Following is the resolution unanimously
passed by the grand jury. composed of
the following named gentlemen: F. E.
Sanders. j. M. Stout, C. H. Reece, H. l.
Doud. Andrew Times, o. A. Hendrick-
son and E. A. Rhodes.
Whereas. there is much public COM
ment on the manner in which the en-
gineers office of Hardin county has
been conducted. and in the claims which
have been filed by that department with
the county auditor for action and al
lOwance by the board of supervisors of
the county.
And. whereas. this grand jury feels
from the information obtained that it
would conserve the best interests of
Hardin county and the taxpayers there
Of to have q thorough investigation Of
the above mentioned Offices and books
thereof. Now, therefore.
BE 1t resolved. that we, the grand
jury of Hardin county. in session for
the August term, 1914. order an invest..
cation Of all the books and records per-
tanning to the expenditure Of public
funds, and ask the court that an order
be made and entered by the court en-
towering and employing c. o. Ryan. of
Eldora, Iowa, to take charge Of such
investigation. That he be given author
ity to employ expert help and that
thorough investigation be made Of all
the records Of the auditors Office and
engineers Office and pertaining to the
conduct of the engineers or treasurer's
Office as may be necessary to give a
thorough and complete explanation Of
all public funds during the past three
years. And this Is meant to include any
expenditures Of public funds by or thru
the order Of the board Of supervisors.

Des Moines. Sent. almost every
thing about the state fair Was salts
factory to those in charge except the
attendance. An increase was hoped
for, but there was falling off. But the
finances of the fair are not at all bad,
and when the final reckoning is made it
will be found the receipts were enough
to pay all running expenses and all
the floating Indebtedness. created by
an anticipation of receipts. and pos
sibly something left over.
There were three things which con-
tribuied to the falling off in attend
ance,' said President Charles L. Cam
eron. THE first and think the most
important. was the fact OF prolonged
drouth all thru southern Iowa and Il
great depreciation in the value of the
crops; the second was the European
war and the tightness of business at
fairs generally which has existed all
thru the year; and third was the rain
storm of Monday night.
I'VE get large part of our total of
Visitors from the southern part of the
state. 1t is closer to the state CAPT
tai and the people are accustomed to
coming to our fair. They do not have
many local fairs and there is no other
fair which naturally draws them else
where. Where we got one visitor from
this part of the state last year we
were getting in others five or more.
War Has Effect.
Not every one appreciates yet the
effect of the European war which fol-
lows long period of business depres-
sion. The foreign element especially
is disposed to hold back and not spend
any money. Another thing, perhaps.
has contributed in small way to the
clcseness of the people, and that is the
purchase of So many automobiles and
probably a great many of them not yet
fully paid for.
"The storm of Monday night caused
a great many to give up their plans OF
coming to the fair. II made it difficult
for the automobiles to make the trip,
and we are getting a great many Wis
itors by automobiles.
But for one thing We are satisfied
that the fair Of 1914 was the biggest
and best I'm every department of any
