The-re wa? some discussion of the the Masonic

casion was as great a success as had
been hoped for by the promoters.
From the very pleasant reunion,
there was formed a Rock Bluffs as
sociation that will make the "home
coming" an annual event and assist
in preserving the memories and as
sociations of the old town that once
flourished along the stately Missouri
river. To head the new organiza
tion Attorney C. L. Graves, of Union,
was named a3 president; Dr. G. H.
Gilmore, of Murray, secretary; D. A.
Young, Fred Patterson, Mrs. C. A.
Rwals, L. P. Fitch and Mrs. J. L.
Stamp, as members of the executive
committee.
The session yesterday at the re
union grounds saw a very interest
ing informal program given, during
which time Attorney J. D. Graves of
Peru ' fiddled" in real old time man
ner while Mrs. M. G. Churchill, of
Murray was at the piano. Fred Pat
terson and Attorney C. A. Rawls
were both heard In short addresses
as was also Dr. G. H. Gilmore, of
Murray, who has been one of the
boosters of the movement and Dr.
Gilmore also read the program writ
ten by Mrs. Joel Tishue of Seward,
Nebraska, which Is given below. j
A number of very Interesting
relics of the old times were shown
by D. A. Young, one of the oldest
of the pioneer residents of the Rock
Bluffs locality and which consisted
of a copy of a newspaper printed In
Rock Bluffs in 1857, a pair of copper
toed shoes worn in childhood by Mr.
Young and several other old and
treasured trophies of the past.
The program was presided over by
J. D. Graves, of Peru and at noon the
members of the party enjoyed a fine
picnic dinner amid the pleasant sur
roundings of the grove ou the re
union grounds.
The poem and Introductory para

Freight Business on the Burlington
Taking on a Very Fine In

in the central west due to the mov

the Increase has been as sudden as

The Burlington railroad, which
operates through the heart of the
great wheat and corn belt of the
west has been showing a very pleas

and the trains that are going over
the line now are getting to be more
numerous each day.
To show the increase in business
the Burlington has had the switch
engine that was taken off of service
last fall, returned to duty to servo as
a helper for the heavy laden freights
that are passing through here In in
creasing numbers carrying the wheat
from the farms to the markets of the
world. The switch engine and crew
are now on duty from midnight on
to morning and, serve to help handle
the freight traffic. The extra switch

placed back In service.
The demand on the railroads for
additional rolling stock Is increasing
and the box cars are being placed out
in service as fast as possible to meet
the demand and even greater num

The board of county commission
ers at its session yesterday, among
other matters, took up the matter of
the levy for taxation purposes for tho
year 1924 and after the discussion
of the matter fixed the levy for coun
ty purposes at three mills, which,
with the state levy of 1.8 mills, will
make the total levy for the year 4.8

The levy divided among the vari
ous county funds is as follov.j:
General fund 1 mill
Bridge fund Si mills
Road fund 09 mills
Mothers' pensions 09 mills

The levy is made on a valuation
