alculated from the inspection that
the cost Of restoring levees on the

might be made for much less, but it

must be started Immediately to get
the levees in shape before the high

Des Mones, Dec. 29.--The state OF
Iowa was 50 years old yesterday but
the anniversary passed without any
special observance here. Many OF the
state Officers were surprised to learn
when their attention was called to It
that 1t was tho states birthday and
reference had to be made to historical
records to verify the claim.
Iowa was admitted to the union by
an act Of congress passed Dec. rs, ls46.
At that time the population was con.
fined to twenty seven counties all in
eastern Iowa and the total number OF
people in the state was l02.3ss. The
population at the time of the last CEN
sus was 2.224.771. In 1916 Iowa had no
railroads. Now Iowa has $500 miles
of railroad and no. farm In the state Is
moro than ten miles from railroad.
On Jan. Is. 1916, the eighth !egls-
lative assembly of the territory OF
Iowa passed an act providing for the
election of delegates to a convention
which should form constitution for
4he future state. These delegates were
chosen April 6. On May 4 the conven-
ton met and several days were occu-
pied in framing the constitution. On
Aug. the constitution was ratified
by a vote Of the people. On Sept.
the governor issued proclamation
that the vote for the adoption OF the
constitution had been ratified and
adopted by majority vote OF the peo-
pie on Oct. rs an election of state
officers was held and Ansel Briggs was
chosen governor Iowa was entitled
to only two representatives to con-
gress then whereas now she has
eleven. s. G. Hastings ana Shepherd
Leffler were elected representatives. The
bill for the admission Of Iowa into the
union was presented TO congress Dec.
II and was passed on the 2sth.
The first railroad survey In Iowa was
made in 1852 for what was later
known as the Mississippi and Missouri
railroad. The line was to operate be-
tween Davenport and Council Bluffs.
The line was completed as far as Iowa
City by 1856. Soon afterward 1t was
extended south from Davenport to
Muscatine. From 1862 to 1870 the rail-
road development OF most importance
took place and, by 1870 there were four
trunk lines across the state.
