will be erected at the new building.
The event recalls to mind one of the
most interesting characters In the wide
field Of American industry. Mr. Boepple
founded an industry which brought
fortune to scores Of men, gave employ
nlent to thousands in the United
States and still died almost pennfiess.
He was the first to realize the posi-
bilitieS in the fresh water mussel shell
but always the dreamer he failed to
realize on his opportunity. Now those
who owe their success to the industry
which he founded gave recognition Of
the prominent part which he played in
the romance of industry Once the

NEARLY 9t,ooo,ooo SPENT
az WRiGHTFo DRAINAGE

Clarion, June 29-What has cost
Wright county farm owners more than
drainage during the past ten years?
1t might also be asked: What has
added more to the value Of Wright
county land than this same drainage?
Since the recent heavy rains re-
quests for new drains have come In
so fast that they almost swsmped the
people In the auditors office. The num-
Der of the last proposed drain IS IA.
The last number on which the assess
ment Is complete u 81 and the total
cost Of these drains up to that number
is shown to be 1901. 654.39. 1t Is safe
guess that by the time assessment or
drain No. ia Us made the figures will
easily foot up a million dollars.
There Is no question that these
drainage projects have raised the value
OF the land thru which they run sew
eral times what 1t cost to construct
the drains. Land which. before the
drains were put down, was nothing but
swamp or slough and WAS worse
than worthless, has been transformed
into the best crop producing tracts to
be found anywhere. Drainage Is fact
making Wright county the best in the
whole state of Iowa.
The drain costing the most Is No.
SO, located in Norway, Lake and Pleas
ant townships and it foots up to $685.
S24S7, lacking only a small amount to
reaching the 100000 mark. Another
drain which Is now proposed II Is
thought will probably cost nearly as
much as No. Sc. 1t will be seen there
are several ranging in cost from $4,000
to 5000 each.
Below we give a table showing the
number and cost of each drain IN to
No. 81. there being no drains for the
rup,harS which arc omitted.

CAN'T EXPLAIN PRESENCE

Appears From Waters Of Lake and
Steals Food From Wharves-May Be
pemented Man Who Prefers to Hide
and Swim, in Lake-Nisht Vigil Of
Resorters Fails to Solve Mystery.

Clear Lake June 29.-What has been
termed by the summer colony as the
Human Fish" has been discovered on
the north shore of Clear lake and is
causing more excitement than has pre-
vailed at this summer resort for a
number of years. The discovery OF the
strange phenomenon was brought
about by cottagers who had food taken
off their piers which run into the lake
and the statement of a number who
declare they have seen the strange
creature Several parties have gone
out in an effort to catch the mysteri-
Gus visitor but each effort has been. up
to date, without result.
A few nights ago a party of guests
at the Oaks Hotel went down to the
lake beach and started in an all nigh,
vigil in an effort to capture it. Just
at midnight when the lights went out
about the pier, ripple in the water
tended out of the water. II grabbed
some food which had been placed on
the end of the pier and was again
withdrawn into the water. The
watchers rushed to the pier end but
they saw nothing. However. dark
spot away out in the lake near 100
yards away was seen hurryirS thru the
water and weird laugh was heard
ripping over the water.
Some fishermen who were out in
boat last Thursday claim to have seen
what they took to be d man swim
ming with fish-like speed thru the
water. They gave chase in their boat
but as they neared the man or animal,
1t dove and similar laughter was
heard from the rushes which were
about fifty yards away.

Disbarment Of lawyers in lows Is
going to be matter easier Of accom-
plishment than in the past. The SUI
preme court has been decidedly hard
on lawyers that gov rong. In all re-
cent decisions, and has come pretty
near to suggesting in some decisions
that other disbarments might be good
thing. Now the state bar association
Is going to relieve the local bar as
sociations Of the embarrassment Of
prosecuting lawyers who violate the
ethics Of the profession, and this will
greatly aid In clearing up the situation.
One Of the funny things at the re-
cent bar association meeting in Bur
lington, In connection with the discus
sion on the plans to have the state
erect Temple Of Justice instead Of q
state Office building, was that William
Walker, Of Keosauqua, was one Of the
prominent lawyers earnestly in favor
of this building. Now 1t 50 happens
that Mr.. Walker was one OF the large
corps of lawyers hired to boost for
Rowley and fight the millage taxes for
the purchase Of ground for state pur-
poses and erection Of needed 8 state
buildings. If the Temple of Justice is
erected it will be out Of the proceeds
of the taxes which Walker sought to
have declared null and void. But the
bar association Endorsed the plan for
the erection of the building. The law
yers of the state will stand almost a
unit in it's favor
