BOARD INSISTS HE HAS SLEPT ON RIGHTS
l ounluioii Xaaied to Assess Benefits,
but Appointment of Engineer
Is Lett I stttl Future
Sesaloa.
The Joint board meeting of the aupervla
ora of Harrlaon and Pottawattamie coun
ties resumed Ita sessions Thursday morning
with Chairman Drandce presiding, and Su
pervisors Hall, Huabrook and Murray of
Harrison county and Supervisors Baker,
BulllH, 8iencer and Seta of Pottawattamie
county present.
C. W. Kellogg, attorney for C. D. But
terfleld of Missouri Valley, appeared be
fore1 tho board and presented a claim of
I1.UJ0 for land taken by the Harrison-Pottawattamie
drainage ditch. The claim was
made that Buttcrflcld, had no notice of the
proposed ditch being put through his land,
whereby about fifteen acres are appropria
ted, and hence he could not file a claim In
time for the board meeting.
The claim waa referred to County At
torney Haas, who shortly thereafter re
ported recommending the rejection of the
claim on the ground that sufficient formal
notice had been given by publication and
that the claimant had slept on his rights.
Tho report and recommendation of
County Attorney Haas was adopted and
the Butterfleld claim disallowed.
Under the drainage law a committee con
slstlng of two commissioners and a con
sulting engineer must be appointed by the
board of commissions to classify the lands
and assess the benefits thereto In all drain
age districts, the same to be taxed against
the property so benefited. Messrs. S. C.
Eshelman of Harrison county and- Henry
Welse of Pottawattamie county w-re ap
pointed as the commissioners, but ...e ap
pointruent of a consulting engine . rxs the
third member of the committee was de
ferred until Thursday morning.
In addition to tho foregoing committee, a
constructing engineer Is also to be ap
pointed, who will have charge of all the
surveys and construction work of the
drainage ditch. The selection of this en
gineer is also left until the meeting of
Thursday morning. An effort will be made
to seoure the Rervtoea of 6eth Dean of Glen
wood, a well known drainage engineer of
the atate.
About 70,000 acres of land will be reclaimed
by the ditch. The land comprises some of
the most fertile in the Missouri valley.
The name of C. L. Huff of Logan, la.
was proposed aa consulting engineer for
the ditch work, hut he waa defeated by a
vote of 3 to 6. The Harrison county com
mlssloners only voting for him.
Capld Has Hla Way
Arthur Kackley and Martha Calvert of
Prlncevllle, III., were married Wedneaday
evening by Kev. O. O. Smith of thla city.
There la a little romance connected with

first cousins. The Illinois laws prohibit
tha marriage of persons' of that close rela
tionship ko the twain went to Lincoln,
Neb., where they sought a license to marry
Wednesday morning. There they learned
that there waa a similar Inhibition against
the marriage ot first coimlns, and so they
Journeyed back to Council Bluffs, where
the law relative to Dan Cupld'a caprices
are ltas rigid. The license waa obtained
about i o'clock Wedneaday evening and the
marriage took place at the First Congre-
gatlonal parsonage very shortly thereafter.
Mr. and Mrs Kackley were guests at the
Grand hotel until Thursday morning, when
they departed tor their Illinois home aa
man and wife regardless of the rigidity of
Illinois and Nebraska martial laws.

DES MOINES, Aug. .-(Special.) State
Auditor B. F. Carroll la back from the con
ference of Insurance commissioner held
yesterday at Chicago to outline a plaa tor
an Investigation of the big eastern life In
surance companlea. He refused, however,
to give out any statement aa to whether
or not he will Join with the other states
In the Investigation. It la learned, how
ever, that the real reason why the states
of Iowa, llllnola and Michigan did not Join
yesterday In the plana ot the other four
atatea la because of a belief that thla la
not the time to begin the investigation. The
feeling la that having waited till the legia
lature of New York began an Investigation
the western states can well afford to wait
till that investigation is completed. There
is no denying that the officials ot all tha
atatea feel that while startling disclosures
have been made by the officials of Ne
York there may be still worse reports to
come. "There la no question but that theee
big Insurance companies are aulvent," vol
unteered Mr. Carroll, "and the lnteresta'ot
the public will not suffer more it an In
vestigation Is delayed a little longer."
The other members of the executive coun
ell are out of the city today. Mr. Carroll
would not say whether or not he would
take the matter up before thctn on their
return. There la a poastblllty since the In
vestigation la to be made anyway by the
departmenta of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kcu-
tucky and Tennessee that Iowa will yet

Mr. Chairman. I.hiILk and Oentlemen:

of the cordial relations and neighborly re

flow the blood of a common ancestry.
We owe allegiance to different Institu
tions. Above us are different flags, emblems
of the mightiest powers Ukh tills earth.
w e nave no sense of rivalry except in those
mays which make for a higher and better
civilisation.
There are no fortifications along our com
mon frontier; no battleships upon the
waters which divide us. These are nut
needed now, and we trust that In God's
Providence they shall never be required.
We are the respecters of each other s In
stitutions, of each other's laws, of each
other's rights. We are bound to each other
by strong social ties and sentiments of
mutual respect.
Competition In trade Is n vitalizing fact.ir.
It is not born of unfriendliness. It has Ita
Inspiration In that Just self-interest whk?h
nas ueen the llle of trade from the begin
ning until now. One of our wisest Amer
icans, William McKlnley, whose good name
is tne precious nerltage or tne Human race,
said at the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo: "Though commercial com
petitors we are, commercial enemies we
must not be." The national policies of the
United States and Canada may not be in
accord. If they be not It will be due to no
unfriendliness of purpose, but to that sense
of duty which each primarily owes to Ita
own.

where is mere l oc found more remarka

which Is tributary to the St. Mary's canal.
The tonnage passing through this canal has
risen ironi an averuge ot k.imi tons per an

year more than 16.000 vessels Massed throimh

Commerce Will Increase,
The maximum has not yet been reached.
Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth, Detroit, Tol
edo, Cleveland, Buffalo and other cities
which sit In malestv and nower unon ihe
shores of the Great Lakes are rapidly In
creasing In population and In commercial
importance., rne great mines aro pouring
their wealth of cheap material Into the
channels of trade In rapidly increasing de
gree. The fertile agricultural reglona are
sending their vast surplus to feed mllliuns
In the east and Oeyond the Atlantic.
The commerce of the United Slates has
Increased beyond the dreams of the moat
optimistic of a half century ago. Our for
eign commerce has, with rapidity, attained
a vast volume. It Is Insignificant, however,
In amount and value when compared with
our Internal commerce. Railways are taxd
to their utmost capacity and our ships upon
Inland water routes are loaded to the limit
of their carrying power, bearing the prod
ucts of a progressive and great people. Old
methods of Interchange are found inade
quale to meet the current needs. They are
constantly Improved and enlarged. .New
Instruments of intercommunication are
created. The capacity of all these in quickly
taxed. New transportation facilities crcnte
new traffic. The wants of tho people
quickly expand to meet them.
The canal is nieniinen wun tne period
of our most rapid Industrial development.
The ever-increasing procession or ships
through It tells the story of our expanding
production, growing trade and increasing
Industrial importance.
The scepter of commercial power la

if we are hut true to the vast oppor
tunities which lie at our hands, the United
States will become the acknowledged

Incalculable Importance
in tho luliire.
Tlie 1 tilted States has been liberal in
advancing IhT Interests of commerce. It
has been generous In tne improvement ot
livers and harbors, to the end that they
should be adequate to meet our advancing
national mods. It has appropriated lib
erally for canals. The Pi. Mary a canal
is not the only evidence or this tact, iler
most Important work In promoting the
expansion of our commerce Is apon Ihe
Isthmus of Panama The enterprise there
Is of vast magnitude one which lias de
feated all efforts hitherto. It hat under
taken upon broad lines, for It will welcomo
Impartially the commerce of the world.
What others have ten many years In
endeavoring to accomplish, we shall not
do In a day. Much money, time and
patience will be required to complete the
work. But It will be built, tor the United
States has put Its powerful hand to the
task.
It Is a grntlfvlng fact that the enormous
commerce of the United rltatea upon the
Great I akes Is carried In American Ships.
The vessels which pass through this canal
earning our products, bear the flag of the
United States. They were built In our
shipyards and arc manned by American
seaman. When we come to commerce upon
the high seas, we largely give over Ita
carriage to ehlpe built abroad Olid sailed
by alien powers A large part of the com
modities which pass through this canal
to the Atlantic seaboard for trane-ahlpment
to foreign countries. Is transferred from
these Ainerlc.in-owned and American-operated
ships to vessels of foreign register.
Tills would seem to be Incompatible witbi
a wise national policy.
While the United States promotes com
merce, it makes for peace. Through the
timelv Intercession of President Roosevelt,
one of the bloodiest wars In history IS
about to close. The commissioners of the
belligerent powers will assemble In a few
dnvs tmder the protection of the American
Hag. to deliberate with each other. W
trust that their great mission may be
successful; that they may bo able to restore
peace and disband the groat armies con
fronting each other In tho Orient.
We are assembled under happy auspices.
All our people are engaged to the utmost In
promoting the manifold arts of peace.
They are bnsv in trade and commerce,
science nnd education, ngricu ture and
manufacture. They are active In ;hnrlty
and philanthropy, seeking to mike tne
