way Past Bale Farm.

There seemsSto be renewed interest
over the Lincoln highway in western
Iowa, and hardly day passes but
what there is a meeting of the town
councils at some point on the route,
where matters pertaining to the bet
terment OF the present route are dis
cussed.
In PottaWattamie county there is
considerable enthusiasm being shown.
Last week number OF business men
Of Council Bluffs, together with coun-
ty and state engineers and delega-
ton from Logan, took up the matter
of changing the road to avoid the Hon
ey Creek road. Three possible routes
have been suggested. One farmer, re-
siding in the vicinity OF Honey Greek.
has offered to give ten acres of
ground should one of these detours
be selected. The route laid out by the
county engineer leads off from the
present highway just before the Hon
ey Creek hill is reached and joins the
highway again at point half mile
further on, with but slight grade.
G. l.. Caswell, the town consul of
the Iowa Transcontinental association,
was in Glidden last week meeting with
Carroll county officials in regard to
a change in the route in the vicinity
of Glidden.
P. G. Holden, state highway COM
missioner, together with County En-
gineer H. B. Fishel and members of
the board of supervisors, went over
the proposed change in the road be-
tween Dow City and Dunlap, with
view of ascertaining whether it would
be practical to sanction the proposed
cut off and do away with the two bad
railway crossings between the Durham
farm and the town of Dunlap We I'M
derstand that the highway commission
will be in favor of the proposed cut
off,
There is considerable agitation over
the matter of changing the route of
the Lincoln highway through the city
of Denison. There is considerable
talk of running the highway west on
Broadway past the Lally residence
and across the West Boyer valley,
joining the present route at the Bale
farm, and vacating the road from the
Bale farm to the McHenry crossing,
where so many lives have been lost.
The changing of the route would ne
cessitate the spending of considerable
money and it is question whether or
not the proposed change could be built
as cheaply as could the two crossings
be put in a condition where there
would be no danger for travellers.
There is some talk of running the
highway on the road south OF the
Northwestern right of way between
Denison and Arion and it is intimat-
ed that farmers along this road will
offer substantial cash donation
should this change be made.
We are glad to see the rivalry be-
ing shown by those living on different
routes. and doubtless it will be the
means of securing the better route.

Gil Bluffs, where they lived until June,
1918, at which time they moved to
Sparks, Nevada, where he was en-
ployed as chief clerk in the car de-
partment of the Southern Pacific rail
way company. He proved himself an
able man in his department and was
held in the highest esteem by his en-
ployers, who had rendered him pro
motion, but his i'll health prevented
him from accepting the position.
Mr.. Baker was man of excellent
habits and was very home loving
husband and father. His home and
family were the dearest possessions
on earth to him.
Mr.. Baker died at his home in
Sparks, New, on January 9th at the
age of 80 years, 3 months and 20

The church here in Denison has
flourished under his leadership and
there has been a marked increase in
the membership of both the church
and Sunday school. Since coming to
Denison he has made many friends,
both among the members of the
church and those of other denomina-

man whose first thought is for the in

A number of public sales are ad.
vertised in this weeks issue of the
Review. Farmers throughout the
county seem to realize the benefit to
be derived from advertising sales in
this paper and they appreciate the
fact that the Review is read in nearly
every home in Crawford county. Now
adays the farmers notify the public of
their sales through newspapers like
the Review and do not spend two days
in posting sale bills, but place the ads
in the newspapers where they will be
read at home by the fireside. Farmers
as a rule are too busy to stop at the
cross roads and get out of their bug
gy or wagon to read sale bill and
the description of the property to be
sold, but they turn to the sale column
of the Review and gain the informa-
ton in this manner.
Farmers who contemplate holding
sales in the near future should call
at this office and make arrangements
for the advertising of their sales. We
have a large line of live stock cuts on

their sale advertising more effective.
