The DinsmOre Reunion

Inc Dlnsmore reunion was held at
Fred Dinsmore's farm, the old home
stead, in Arson, Sept. 9. The farm
was leased by Arthur Dinsmore, who
came from Chester. New Hampshire,
in 1898, bringing his family the next
year. They lived in log house eight
years when a frame house was built,
the main house at the present time.
They had family of nine children and
their youngest son. Arthur Jr., inheri-
ted the home farm.
When he was Is years old, his father
purchased a wagon and when 1t ar
rived it produced quite a sensation.
1t had wooden springs and people came
long distance to see the wonder. He
married Patty Houghton. Sept 10,
1915. About this time the brothers
and sisters were all settled in life and
they began to hold family meetings,
beginning at the old homestead and
taking turns in order of their ages.
They kept them up till only three of
the family were left.
Sept 10, 1865, Arthur and Patty
Dinsmore celebrated their golden we'd
ding Their children held their first
reunion in the year 1875 and held them
annually for IS years when their num-
Der became too small to carry them on
longer.
Four years later the next generation
started the reunions again and have
since held them annually. Thus it
can be seen that these family gather
ings have been held with few breaks
for about 100 years.
Officers were elected during the day
as follows: President, a. c. Dins-
more; vice pres, DR.. r. G. StanwCod;
secretary, Fred A. Dinsmore, Arson;
treasurer, Mrs, X. c. Gray, Madison;
member of executive committee, Mrs.
May Dinsmore. A picnic dinner was
served and speeches followed the
business session. The two oldest per-
sons present were T. M. Stewart of
North Arson and Mrs. Clara Hough-
ton of Bingham.
A discussion was held in regard to
publishing a book of the Dinsmore ge-
nealogy. which has been prepared by
Mrs. Marta Savage of Bingham, and a
committee of ten volunteered to fl
nance the. publication and a commit
tee of five was appointed to assist in
revising the same.
A genealogy of the Arson branch of
the Dinsmore family was compiled by
Rev. John Dinsmore in 1865 and Mrs.
Savage is deyoting herself to the ar
duous task of preparing a history and
ganealogy of the Dinsmores from 1920
to the present time.

toward municipal ownership. But it
wasn't. 1t absolutely blocked mu-
nicipal ownership.
During the street railway arbitra-
ton hearing the following interesting
facts were brought out while Presi-
dent Busby was on the witness stand:
Under the terms of the ordinance.
the price Chicago would have had to
pay for the surface lines in 1907 was
$55, 100000. But after the ordinance
has been in operation eight years the
price the city would have to pay now
is about $145, 100000.
The city has saved about $4,000
OO0 toward the purchase price, but
the price has gone up $90,000,0O0
And the price will keep going up
faster than the city's ability to pay.
That means that there is no posi-
bility of municipal ownership until
Walter Fishers unifcation ordinance
expires by limitation in 1927.
Fisher did such a neat job for Law
sons street railway friends in 1907
that they evidently want the city to
hire him to do it again.
1t would be interesting to know
whether Lawson owns any of the
bonds or stocks of the street railway
companies.

FISHER AGAIN?- Gosh, but Vic
Lawson's got his nerve with him. He
got Walter Fisher made special trac-
ton counsel when the unifcation
skin game of 1907 was put over on
Chicago, and now he wants the town
to hire Walter again.
Old Vic never overlooks a bet. No
sooner had council decided on COM
mission to inquire into subways and
unified operation of surface and ele-
waited railways than Lawson saw a
chance to get in his work with Fisher
again. Here's what he says in the
Daily News:
Another ordinance is reported to
be in preparation relating to the en-
ployment of a special attorney for the
new commission. Walter L. Fisher
has been mentioned as the person
most likely to be selected for this
purpose. In view of Mr.. Fishers
thorough knowledge of traction con-
ditions and of the legal questions to
be dealt with, it is only natural that
he should be deemed well equipped
for the position"
1t is well known around town that
Walter Fisher is one of Lawson's
pets, and it ought to be well known
about town that Fisher was the law
yer who represented the city in franz
ing up the notorious deal of 1907.
Chicago has voted three times for
municipal ownership. Some folks
thought the unifcation ordinance of
1907, with the SIS per cent of net
profits to the city. was long step
