That the farmers Of Ada county or
those who propose to engage in farm
ing appreciate the value of state lands
under the Boise irrigation project and

evident today at the state land sale

tives at the capitol annex by State

5000 acres was sold under the 40-year

Big Cadillac Machine Misses Bridge
on Gienwood Road and Ray
Fogey is Thrown Out
and Killed.
OTHERS ARE INJURED
Dead Man Saw Peril and Tried to
Bring Car Into Road Again,
But Was Thrown
Out.

GLENWOOD, Mo-. Sept. 1s.-Ray
Fogey was instantly killed Friday
night when the automobile in which
he and several others were riding,
missed a bridge on the road between
Glenwood and Glenwood Junction and
went into the ditch. The car rolled
over twice and all of the occupants
were injured. Fogey, 1t is supposed,
saw that the chauffeur was going to
miss the bridge and that he leaned
over and tried to pull the wheel over
to get the car back into the road and
that he was thrown with the first
twist of the machine
The party was in a Cadillac eight,
and the trip was being made to take
horse buyer from the farm of
William Hall near Memphis, to Glen
wood to catch night train. The
auto is supposed to have been going
at high rate of speed. The car
missed the bridge entirely and went
over into the gulley at the side Of
the road. ALI of the occupants were
more or less bruised and injured.
There were two Fogey boys and
two Eichmeyer boys in the car be-
sides the chauffeur and the horse
buyer.

shore by six to eight horses. Boats al
Montrose coming down stream would
unload their freight, consisting OF
wheat, onions, potatoes and bar lead
into flats which would float over the
rapids, the steamers coming over
light and would again reload their
freight at Keokuk for st. Louis and
points south, and oftentimes to Gin
cinnati, Ohio.
Our only other mode of travel was
by the Frink, Walker & Co. old
stages, who had a monopoly in over
land passenger traffic west and ran
stage lines all over Iowa and the
west to all the principal towns, but
was gradually pushed further and fur
Their west until the old stage line is a
thing of the past. Then all our in
terror freighting and emigrant travel
was hauled by private teams in wag-
ons and hacks.
The principal business done in the
early days in Keokuk, Montrose and
Fort Madison, was taking care of the
incoming emigration, transferring
freight in flat boats over the rapids
from Keokuk to Montrose and reload
ing back to be floated over the rapids
to Keokuk for re-shipment by boat
The most of the big flat boats we're
built in Keokuk by old man Bunker
These flats would be from one hun
6red to one hundred and fifty feet
long, and from twenty to twenty We
feet beam by three feet depth of hull,
and would carry from one to one hun
dred and fifty tons of freight in very
shallow water, say from two to two
and one-half feet. When Bunker
would build one of those large flats
he could not get enough 1aborers to
push or launch it in the river, and l
remember on one occasion there was
a large band of Sac and Fox Indians
Camped near keokuk and he arranged
with their head man or chief to assist
in launching the new flat boat, and
when finished they were to have a
certain amount of whiskey (called by
the Indians fire water."). They
worked like troopers and the lazy
rascais were all as wet as drowned
rats with perspiration after complet-
ing the work; then the whiskey was
given the head man, who took charge
of it and divided it among them, hav-
ing appointed beforehand, a number
of their reliable men to take charge
Of all their weapons and to keep So
Der, which they did and got their
share of fire-water after the big drunk
was over.

Ask Alumni to Aid.

The staff this year, will endeavor
to maintain the high standard set by
last years staff. The higher cost OF
printing and the difficulty in securing
some advertisements through the re-
strictions placed by the Retailers
league will make it necessary for the
staff to appeal to the old grads OF
Keokuk high. They expect good re-
Spouse from these alumni and should
have it. The school paper is inter-
esting to those both in and out Of
high school, and alumni Of X. II. s..
should be sufficiently interested to do
this much towards helping the young
men and women turn out something
really worth while in the way of a
school paper.
The business department has al
ready started out to secure advertise
ments and subscriptions and ii the
proper response is made will be able
to issue the first number within the
next two weeks.
Many features are planned for the
volume this yeay. and with the proper
support both in the schools and among
the local people who claim Keokuk
high as their ALMA mater, the staff
will have no trouble in getting up
mighty attractive series.
