BIRD club
1(otes

Donald Varney, one of our Bird
Club boys who has just returned
from a trip up in Minnesota and at
Spirit Lake, would like to know if
any of our boys or girls can name a
bird which chip, chip, chips like a
squirrel. The bird is black, about
the size of a crow, very much like a
crow only its call is so very differ
ent. Does anyone know of a bird
which answers his description? We
will be glad to hear from anyone
on the subject.
Did any of our club know that
there are some birds that can
crack nuts. They wedge the nut
in crevice and then pick at it I'M
til it is opened. Nuthatches and
woodpeckers do this. They love
the meat of the nut and are willing
to work for it.
Woodpeckers use their tails for
support as they climb trees search
ing the bark for bugs, worms and
their eggs which are hidden there
Nuthatches do not but their tails
are usually pointed upward as they
climb. They can climb down a
tree as we'll as up it. When the
nuthatch calls it sounds as if they
were saying, ''yank, yanlS, yank. ;"
Nuthatches and wocdpeckers stay
with us in winter.
There is only one owl, the great
horned owl which eats birds and
poultry. All the other owls live on
mice, rats gophers, moles, ground
quirrels and grasshoppers and
should be protected. A pair of
screech-owls will soon clear the
premises of rats.

ty was under the old county Judge
system and the first Judge elected
I. S. Lewis. He was elected in the
spring of 1866 at the first election.
The duty of the county Judge was
to locate roads, levy taxes, build
bridges, courthouse, jail etc. and he
was answerable to no one only on
election day. But we find but two
or three cases during the time that
such office existed wherein the Judge
misappropriated the public funds.

There's a plump little chap in a
speckled coat,
And he sits on the zigzag rails

Where he whistles at breezy, brac-

When the buckwheat is ripe, and
stacked is the corn,
Bob White! Bob White! Bob

Is he hailing some comrade as
blithe as he?
Now | wonder where Robert White

There is no one in sight--but bark

Hide his plump little wife and ba-

So contented is he, and SO proud Of
the same,
That he wants all the world to
know his name:

EARLY DAYS OF
AUDUBON COUNTY

first settlers came when John Coun-
tryman built water power saw
mill on the bank of the Trouble
some in what is now Extra town
ship near the Strahl place. The mill
was of valuable assistance to the
settlers in furnishing lumber for
their houses.
The houses which had been built
were of logs, without floors and COW
cred with what were called shakes"
These were large shingles hewn
out of logs with an ak. Later floors
were made out of "puncheons," logs
split and laid with the split side up
and hewn smooth.
The first death which occurred,
that of Mrs. Decker, was in Deem
Der 1851. There was no lumber
from which to make coffin. Slabs
were split from Eastwood logs and
a rude box made in which the body
was placed. 1t was buried on a
hill on their land which is now the
Boy Herrick farm. The grave has
peen lost for more than fifty years.
During the year 1855 Geo. w.

1855 was quite an eventful year
for the settlers. The first election
was held at the house of John S.
Jenkins April 2 of that year. AS
yet there was no county seat and
the judge of the district court of
Cass county appointed three COM
missioners to locate the county seat.
On June 20 they reported that
they had located it on Rev. Meeks
land. The owner conveyed the land
to Audubon county, retaining some
of the lots. 1t was laid out and
plated as Dayton on July 8. But
two houses were ever built there
and Dayton was the county seat
only in name. Business was trans
acted and records kept at the house
of the officers.
Matte Hamlin and his neighbors
built log building for private
schoolhouse, the first schoolhouse
in the county and hired private
teacher in that year. A state road
and two county roads were legally
established.
The first sale of town lots al
Dayton was advertised for Nov. 2
1856. But one lot was sold, the
price fifty cents.
