for several years past, died Tuesday
morning after a lingering Illness,
aged 81 years.
The deceased was born in Scot

TAKES FIRST TRIP
UP in THE AIR

Miss Elsie McLeran is the first
person in Audubon to be passenger
in a flying machine. There are 9TH
ers living here who were in the ar
my service and were in the air, but
to her belongs the distinction of be-
ing the first civilian to muster en-
ough courage to take a ride in real
flying machine.
Lieut.. Taylor, who made the flight
Friday afternoon for the Chautauqua
people, remained in the city over
night. It was announced at the
tent Friday evening that if there
were those who desired to see the fly
ing machine or wished to take a
trip in it, the opportunity would be
open early Saturday morning. A
large number of our people went to
the pasture the next morning where
the machine landed Carl Hoover
who was in the aviation service made
the first flight with Lieut.. Taylor.
While the machine was in the air
Miss McLeran begged her father to
permit her to make the next flight.
Mr.. McLeran is good whole souled
fellow and would not deny his
daughter anything that would give
her real pleasure and readily con-
scented to her going.
When the machine came down
from its first trip Miss McLeran was
ready to go. She showed no signs
of nervousness and took to the air
like duck does to water. Lieut..
Taylor directed the machine over
her home west of town an dmade a
trip lasting a half hour. During
that time Miss McLeran begged the
lieutenant to do the loop the loop.
He had never done any stunts with
a passenger and was reluctant about
doing 1t here. However. after a lit
tie tryout he found Miss McLeran
was a good passenger and when she
solicited him to make the tail spin he
consented. The. machine looked
fine up in the air and the spin they
took was a real thriller. When the
machine landed hundreds of people
thronged about II to congratulate
Elise on her courage. She was not
half as excited as some of the specta-
tors when she got out of the machine
and when they asked her how she
liked it she said at sure was fine
trip and some of these days l am go
ing to learn to drive one myself"

UNIVERSITY TO HAVE
new BUILDINGS
BIDS LET FOR NEW HOSPITAL,
NURSES DORMITORY AND
AN ARMORY

The state board of education au-
thorized the securing of bids for
three new buildings at the Univers-
ity of Iowa in its recent meeting at
Iowa City. The construction for
the coming year includes a psyche
pathic hospital, a nurses dormitory,
and an armory. Funds for these
three buildings were provided for by
the Jlst Legislature and contracts
will be let for the construction Z
soon as the bids come in.
All three of the new buildings will
be built on the university's new cam
pus on the west side of the Iowa riv-
er where the mems dormitories and
the children's hospital are situated.
The psychopathic hospital which
will cost $175,000 will be erected on
site just west of the children's hos
pital. The hospital is for the di-
agnosis and treatment of incipient
mental diseases. BY early treat
ment of mental disorders the state
hopes to prevent many cases such as
are now in hospitals for the insane.
The nurses dormitory will house
the students of the university train
ing school for nurses who are on
duty at the children's and psychopa-
this hospitals. This building will
cost $150,000 and will be construct
ed on the bluffs overlooking the
river.
The armory, for which $125,000
was appropriated, will be built near
and west of the mems dormitories.
Plans for the buildings have not
been drawn nor the order of their
construction decided upon. Work
on the mems dormitories is the only
major construction work going on
at the university.

PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED
ON THE NEW AUTO LAW

Many automobile owners think
they should pay their car license at
the office of the county treasurer.
They are under the impression the
new law creating this new method
of payment went into effect July
list. AS consequence many appli-
cations and checks are being receiv-
ed by the county treasurer.
Applications for automobile regis
tration for the year 1919 should not
be made to the county treasurer.
Such applications should go to the
secretary of state as formerly.
Registration of automobiles with
the county treasurer's office will be-
gin with the collection of the 1920
and subsequent taxes. Applications
for registration of cars for the year
1920 and subsequent years may be
made with the county treasurer any
time after November list next. Pen
alties attach January LIST.
The confusion arose over the
change made in the auto registration
law by the last general assembly.
The law provides for beginning with
the registration for 1920 all fees
shall be paid to the county treasurer.
Number plates will be issued by the
treasurer.

Death came to August Hickman
Sunday noon at the Atlantic hospi-
tai almost without warning. He
died within five minutes after being
stricken. Death was caused by en-
bolism. He had been operated on
and was making very satisfactory
progress. His family and attending
physician had every reason to expect
his recovery. Death came to Mr.
Hickman within five minutes after, II
was noticed that he had been strick-
Ell. There was nothing that could
be done to save him. Mr.. Heck
mans home was about midway be-
tween Anita and Extra. He was a
native Of Baden, Germany. and came
to Audubon county with his parents
in 1SS4.ss He leaves a wife and FIVE
children. He is also survived by
three sisters and four brothers, He

TAKING TRAFFIC CENSUS

Robrt Nelson and X. NJ Brown,
representatives of the Iowa State
Highway Commission, came from
Ames last Friday to make a traffic
census report of the travel on the
Overland Highway. The represen-
tatives have been stationed on the
hill near George Slayton's place and
will remain at that station for one
week, which ends tomorrow. To-
morrow night the station will be
moved to the road leading south on
the Overland Highway, possibly just
beyond the Rock Island tracks.
The purpose of taking this census
is to secure the Federal Aid for the
grading and construction work on
what is known as the primary road
system. This report must be made
to the commission before the federal
aid is given to the county. 1t is the
desire of the commission to learn the
extent of the state and interstate
traffic.
Persons travelling the Overland
Highway in and out of Audubon
have wondered why AUTOMOBILES and
vehicles of all kinds were being
stopped and questioned as to their
II
has given the information gladly and
freely. while others have been little
"hard boiled" Now that 1t is I'M
derstood by the people it is hoped
that those travelling these roads
will give the information and assist
these splendid young men in making
their work as easily as possible.
They are doing their duty and on
their report will hinge the amount
of Federal Aid Audubon county
will receive.
In an interview with Mr.. Nelson
last night he stated to representa-
tive OF the Republican that the traf-
fic over this road was exceptionally
heavy, but the travel was not of the
interstate nature, though much of
ii was tourists going to the lakes.
He was not permitted TO give out
any information as to the amount of
travel and any figures made public
are not authentic. A person c-~
make a guess and one guess would
be as good as another. The infor-
nation these representatives secure
Is solely for the State Highway
Commission and the Federal Gov
eminent. A similar census is being
taken in every county in Iowa where
the primary roads have been asked
for and laid out.

AUDUBON ON new
AUTOMOBILE ROUTE
WILL BE FIRST OF NORTH AND
SOUTH ROADS TO BE paw
ED ACROSS STATE

representatives from AUDUBON
and Extra were in Atlantic yester-
day afternoon to attend the meet
ing of good roads boosters from
towns between Maryville, Mo-, and
Carroll. A new route has been
proposed and laid out which has
for its purpose of making the
shortest and best automobile route
Slcross the state to the lakes in
northern Iowa. The road will
come from Maryville, Mo-, on thru
Clarinda, Vilisca, Atlantic and over
the Overland Highway from Allan
tic through Audubon to Carroll,
where it will connect with another
road north to the lakes.
Fifty some representatives from
the various towns along the route
were present at the meeting. Those
from Audubon were George Viewer,
V. l.. Culver, III. j. Mantz, j. H..
Ross, Peter Hansen, Hans Hansen
and H. j. Hoogenakker. After a
lot Of discussion and appointing of
committees a permanent organiza-
ton was formed. Claud F. Ander-
son of Atlantic was chosen presi-
dent; Geo. Viewer, of Audubon,
vice-president and Lester Milligan,
of Clarinda, secretary-treasurer. A
director from each town along the
route was also named. III. j..
Hoogenakker was named for Audu-
bon and j. c. Coe for Extra.
After the organization was per-
fected it was decided to call it the
NC Route and poles all along the
way will soon be marked with the
NJ hA 70 xxrfll hn
marked so plainly that all tourists
can travel over 1t without being
compelled to seek further informa-
ton. 1t will also be sent in to the
various publishing houses SO the
route will be marked in the differ
ent guides that are issued for the
convenience of the tourists.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one. Everyone present saw the ne
cessity of a north and south route.
Hard surfaced roads are coming and
that very soon. Audubon county
is not going to lag behind, but is
going to be on the job and see that
she Is one of the first roads that are
to be paved across the state with
the assistance of Federal aid.
Practically the entire distance will
ne on the primary road system.
