day.
Merton Thomas came home last
Wednesday from Ames, where he is
attending college, to visit his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. E. l.. Thomas. This is
his first visit home for fifteen months
and thus there was necessarily big
lot of visiting to do. Mr.. Thomas is
working his way through college so OF
course doesn't have much time to visit
at home. He returned to Ames Sun
day evening.
The men interested in the drainage
ditch tax held an open meeting in Dow
City last Tuesday and discussed the
subject from every angle. There was
a perfect unanimity of opinion that
they were being unjustly taxed. A
goodly number of those interested
were present, and thus good ex.
preston of opinion was received. A
committee was appointed 10 investi
gate further and thus another meet
ing will be held tomorrow (Tuesday)
to hear the report. Our item last
week read that the new assessment
was ST., whereas it should have read
$1,000. One man informs us that this
new assessment raises his taxes this
year over $40.

company will be entertained this week

Will Clark met with quite loss
| ldoS uCoudy uul LllC ulSu Win.
The day previous he had cleaned up
around the yards and burned the trash
The fire seemed to have caught in a
pile of saw dust, where about fifty
cords of stove wood had been recent
ly sawed, and smoldered there during
the night. Tuesdays wind famed
the burning saw dust into a blaze
which found it's way into the pile of
wood The fire was burning fiercely
when discovered. Rural Carrier
Swatman arrived at the Clark place on
his daily round just in time to be of
good assistance in carrying water and
in helping move the unburned wood
out of the fires reach About one
third of the pile was all that could be
saved, but Mr.. Clark can readily see
how very easy it would have been to
have lost it all.
Mrs. Eva Michel and two sons. of
Cherokee, came Monday for a visit at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. M. Cole.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Buss entertained
home last Thursday evening. The

the game. At late hour an elegant
lunch was served.
Mrs. Will Butterworth came from
Sioux City the latter part of the
week for visit at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Ed Riddle.
City election passed off smoothly
Monday. Some little time had been
given to planning the slate of candi-
dates so as to have good reliable men
on the two tickets. A full vote is re-
corded and there seems to be good
feeling over the ticket elected. The
following is the vote: Peoples ticket:
Mayor. J. w. Howorth, 80; Treasur-
err, e. e. Newkirk, 80; assessor, w. B.
Gibson. 1OS; Councilmen, Clair But
terworth, 95; j. w. Cramer, "a; R. w.
Houston, 81; w. G. Rolls, "a; Chris
Vollerson, co. Independent ticket:
Mayor, J. F. Potter, 81: Treasurer, D.
e. Bremser 4S; Councilmen, I. A. An
derson, 80; j. r. Best, At; F. c.
Howorth, so: Art S. Randel, As; E. H.
Swasey, 81 The old council is thus to
serve again. 1t seems that during the
trying years work just finished that
our people lluSL leel IudC IHcy nave
had faithful public servants, else they
would not have permitted them to be
elected again. This certainly carries
it's own recommendation. We con-
graduate the two new officers as well
as the six old ones. We have the out
look of good administration before
US.
