Old Fort Atkinson.

Way up in northeastern Iowa, ir
Winneshiek county, once stood old
Fort nAkinson, where Governor
Dodge, in~1S45 smoked the pipe oi
peace with the chiefs OF 1900 Win
Iebagies. 1t has a part in Iowa
history, meriting for it some con-
sideration and care by Iowans OF
today. Yet when Woodworth Clum
secretary of the Greater Iowa AS
sociation set out from Decorah to
locate it, the other day he found
one of the ancient buildings a pig
sty, another a hen roost, their
enyirons a weed patch, and the
whole plant going to rack and ruin.
Mr.. Clum tells the story of the
old fort which most of us have
forgotten or have never heard 1t
was the only fort ever built by
the United States to protect one
Indian tribe against another. The
Winnebagies seem to have needed
its defense against raids from 9TH
er tribes or against incursions by
revengeful whites. Company f

the fort the following year, nam
ing it for Henry Atkinson. rare
old Indian fighter. The fort con-
sisted of barracks, around an open
square, two blockhouses, va powdel
house. supply warehouse. separate
quarters for the officers and a chap,

PROHIBITION BILL VETOED.
President Vetoes Bill Monday, But
House Passes il Over His Veto.

Washington, D.lC.-President Will
son vetoed the prohibition enforce
ment bill Monday afternoon and the
house of representatives promptly
Lrepassed the measure over the veto
eSy a vote of. 174 to 55, with two
members voting present" This is
twenty more than the two thirds ma
jority required for passage.
1t is expected that the senate
Promptly will take the same action
and; that the bill will become law
this week, the executive to the con
trary Notwithstanding.
In the senate the dry majority is
even more overwhelming than in the
house. the senate having refused to
repeal war time prohibition several
months ago by vote of II to 55.
The president vetoed the measure
because he objected to and could not
approve "that part of this legislation
with reference to war time prohib-
ition." He said that purposes of the
war time prohibition legislation. had
been satisfied in the disqualification
OF the, army and navy" and added:
Where the purposes of particular
legislation arising out of war emer-
gency have been satisfied, sound pub
lie policy makes clear the reason and
necessity for repeal"
The executive advised congress to
separate the two questions of war
time and constitutional prohibition
and legislate on each Independently
OF the other.

holds true likewise for Miss Beverly

Outside of Andy, the hit OF the

State Surveyors Here Now Surveying
Twenty-Five Miles of Winne-

THE COST OF THIS WORK
WILL BE ABOUT S146.O0G
Hills Will be Cut Down, All Spongy
Places Tiled. Guard Railings

Curves

Winneshiek coAnty is going to put
25 miles of road to grade next year
A force of state surveyors arrived

and three assistants, who just got
Through surveying in Dubuque coun,
ty.
A rough estimate of the cost OF
the work is $146,00O, and Winnie,
shiek county gets federal and state
aid for the whole amount, with the
exception Of building bridges, cul
verts and securing additional right
of way. Putting the roads to grade
means that all hills will be cut down,
embankments widened, etc. No
grades will be sleeper than a six per
cent grade, If possible. All spongy
places will be tiled, all dangerous
curves will have guard ratings. and
all square corners will be made into
a curve. The idea of this work Is to
put the roads into condition for
either gravelling or paving at some
future date. Whether or not the lat
ter is ever done, the work that will
be finished in this grading will make
finished roads with st ep grades eli
minated, etc.
The roads that will be put to grade
row are the Decentralization road,
DecoTah-Ridgeway road. Decorah-
Burr Oak road and Decorah-C Calmar
road. They have started work on the
Ridgeway road, near the Mike Drew
farm and will work east to the
Frankville road, near the Estrem
farm, then from the Conover road
to the Lew Halse farm on the Burr
Oak road
They expect to be through with the
grades about Christmas time, and
will have everything ready to let the
contract for the grading in the
spring. A
This means that 25 miles of the
roads of Winneshiek will be put IN
good shape and it will be up to the
recple to say whether they will be
graded or paved at some time, when
the opportunity 70 vote on the pro
position will be given to the people
OF the county.
