DEBORAH FIRM COMPLIMENTARY
Reed * Lennon, Well Known ImpIe-
ment Dealers Get Write UP in
Harvester World.

Reed & Lennon Decorah's well
known implement dealers received
the following complimentary notice
in the last issue of the Harves Ell
World, Chicago publication:
when in DEBORAH, Iowa, you
should call on Reed & Lennon, be-
cause you will find a firm which
practices the most modern business
principles and which will be able to
recite interesting adventures of
sales.
w. B. Reed lives in the same town
in which he was born, which is
proof that he considers Iowa the
best state in the Union, and DEBORAH
the best town in that state. This is
the spirit which, possessed by the
citizens of any community, wins for
that locality renown and fame
abroad. Mr.. Lennon also is still ia
his home county and has shared his
life between the farming, and hard
ware and implement selling profess
sions-two vocations most impor-
tant from the standpoint of the well
fare of the people.
One of the most important events
in the history of DEBORAH for some
time was the dedication of the Aase
Haugen home for old people, and it
was only natural that the impor-
tant firm of Reed G. Lennon should
contribute something to the success
OF the institution. AS a matter of
fact, Reed e Lennon sold the home

supplied other machinery for the

A Warning to Boys.

The contractors in charge of the
construction of Decorah's new sew
er system have laid a lot of sewer
pipe on various streets of DEBORAH.
and in some localities boys have made
a practice of running and jumping
on the pipes. Already there has been
some $50 or $50 worth of the pipe
destroyed, by being broken. The con-
tractors do not wish to have any boys
arrested for this practice, but they
cannot afford to have their property
damaged, and wish to warn the boys
to cease playing on the sewer pipe.
1t is we'll for parents to instruct their
boys to not indulge in this practice.

it is said to be as good hog as can
he found any place. Mr.. Heading
ton raises only recorded stock in the
dine of pigs, and the loss of an ami
NAL like Beauty Miss" is a severe
one. He has large number Of fine
young pigs. His other stock is of the
best also.

Shortage of Winneshiek Teachers.

County superintendent H. E. Mil
Ter of Winneshiek is in need of seven
teachers for the rural schools of the
county. The same conditions exist
in many other counties of the state.
The new teaching law of the state
is the cause of The shortage in teach
ers. The law requires six months ex-
perience, or twelve weeks normal
work, and as a result many schools
have gone begging for teachers. The
superintendent has written and tele-
phoned to numerous places, with
out much success.

10 days posting.
The matter of calling a bond
election will now have to be left
until the next regular meeting

SURVEYING OVERLOOKED LANDS


Drainage Engineers Lewis A.
Jones and w. A. Kelly, in the en-
ploy of the u, S. Government, ar
rived here Monday and began &C.
tual work Tuesday on the survey
of the overlooked lands of the
Kootenai valley.
The work contemplated will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, a
part of which was raised by SUBJ
scription among local landowners
and the remainder of the expense
is to be born by the government.
Meander lines and levels will be
run across the valley from this city
to the international boundary line,
taking in all the district subject to
overflow. The levels across the
bottoms will be run at distances of
from a half to a mile and cross sec
tons of the Kootenai river will be
made about every mile. 1t is esti-
mated that it will take about two
and a half months in which to COM
plete the survey. A crew of from
10 to 20 men will be employed.
The securing of this government
survey came about largely through
the influence and efforts of Charles
G. Reeder, of Spokane, E. E. FL
lott, w. B. Hawkins, w. P. Ma
honey and others of Boomers Fer
ry. These gentlemen and their
friends interested Senator Brady
and Congressman Smith in the
project of securing government aid
for the drainage of the Kootenai
valley and through them secured
the present government survey. 1t
is claimed that it is probable the
government will be persuaded to
make loans to care for the reclaim
ing of the Kootenai valley lands.

come, except by man who has
proven his capacity to stand for
what Il right at all times. Such
men will not hasten to run for any
Office, but in most eases they will
consent to accept if invited.
The day of the CRATER and crook
and general unfit person In Office is
rapidly passing. A higher order
of ability and morality will soon be
required by the people in those
who are to represent them in the
halls of legislation or in any other
official position. The newspapers
of our land can greatly aid along
this line. They WELD large in
fuence, and should always be
found on the side of the people for
the best men for all public posi-
tons.
In view of the foregoing, l would
say that only reliable men of ex-
tended experience in the affairs of
life should be sent to help make
our laws. Without rejecting up
on the present legislature in the
least, / feel certain that one half of
the present size of the House and
Senate, if the general average in
ability and experience were higher,
could accomplish more for the good
of the state in much less time than
is taken now by the present num-
Der.
shall hope at times, after the
adjournment of this session, to
have something more to say in a
public way regarding these impor-
tant matters. l feel they are
worthy the careful study of all, in
the hope that the future may bring
the needed improvement in every
department of Our great and glor-
ious state of Idaho.

ting this road open will say that
the people here have spent s11o, 900
In road work and 500. 900 for steel
bridges. And we have . pippin OF
4 road. In addition, when the
government gets through with the
Kootenai canyon they will have
spent on that section alone $50, 900.
This brings the road right down 10
the Boundary county line. Now,
the thing to do would be to get
busy and put the portion of the
road which lies between Boomers
Ferry and the state lire in good
shape. I read an item in the Bon
ners Ferry Herald an item from
Standpoint where some $4,000 is
to be jointly spent by the people of
Bonner county and the government
on the road between the Ferry and
Standpoint. With this all done we
are going to have by long odds the
best road of any of them through
the mountains. And while am
on this subject 1 would like to
point out this feature. Now is the
time to do it. We must have the
road open and in good shape at an
early date. This by reason of the
fact that the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce will make tour of in
spection of the three routes from
Montana to Spokane, and this in
spection may be made about the
middle of May or the first of June.
Upon this inspection will depend
what these people will advise as to
routes. Of course, neither your
town nor mine will get any benefit
from either of the other two routes,
one by way of Thompson Falls and
one by way of Missoula and Wal
lace, Idaho. What we've got to
do is to get our route open and in
good shape as early as possible.
And the 1915 travel will be the big
Kest of all for many years. We
must have every machine going
this route send back a good report
of the road.
To my mind it is great oppor-
tunity and one we should not ov-
erlook. And all it takes is the
necessary pep to put it over. The
biggest booster we have in this
great work is Hon. P. N. Bernard,
of Kalispell, who is the secretary
of the Kslispell Chamber of Com
merce and also president of the
Wonderland Trail Association. He
has been keeping the wires hot for
several months and has been load
ing the mails with all kinds of good
things boosting this northern route
which runs through Boomers Ferry
and Libby. Surely we and the
other people in these places should
lend every possible help to him in
the work in which we are all so
much and so vitality interested.
Publicity of every sort and partic-
ularly of the local newspapers is a
great help. Sincerely,
LEO H. FAUST"
