1 v
Board Mar Be Compelled to le All
Over the Procesa of Xotlflratloa
and Aaaeaameata of Ben
eflts and Daaaages.
The Board of Supervisora of Pottawatta
jnle county Is up against what may pos
sibly prove a hitch In the sale of the
Pigeon Creeg bonds.. The W. R. Complon
Bond and Mortgage company of Macon,
Mo., which waa awarded the bonds on Its
bid, it Is said, may refuse to accept them
because of alleged defects In the descrip
tion of the land assessment.
In case the Arm does decline to accept
the bonds the board will have to either be
gin proceedings to compel the acceptance
of them or else take up the whole matter
.-gain, make a new assessment and Issue
hew bonds.
Tha question which has arisen relates to
Ihe sufficiency or Insufficiency of the de
scription 'of ths parcels of land aaaessed
for the construction of the ditch. In 1904,
when the list of taxable property was made
up, the deacrlptions were copied from the
trsnsfcr books, as Is the custom In such
cases, without reference to wie original
deeds. In thin way some of the descrip
tions are Said to be Indefinite, as, while
naming the number of acres, they fall to
apeclflfy what particular acrea are meant.
It is stated thathe courts Of Iowa have
held that a tax deed secured upon such a
description Is void, and for this reason the
Compton company Is said to be somewhat
wary about accepting the bonds.
Defect ot' Fatal.
'That' the allfgd defects are not of suffi
cient .moment: or number to Invalidate the
bonds or to give the company sufficient
grounds for declining to accept them Is the
opinion of County Auditor Cheyne, as ex
pressed at the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday. "These so-called Im
perfect descriptions," said Mr. Cheyne, "are
comparatively few and moat or tnetn are
sufficient to locate the land accurately. For
lnstanoe, when a man owns only fifteen
aores of land in a given quarter, the refer
ence to the fifteen aores owned by him can
refer to no other parcel of land, even though
ths description does not give any more
definite Information than tha quarter In
which these particular fifteen acres are lo
cated." Al tha Compton Bond and Mortgage com
pany has not formally notified the board
that It will not accept tha bonds, no action
was taken yesterday.
The beard, acting upon ths report of En
gineer Harley Mayne, which waa to tha ef
fect that the work bad been completed to his
entire satisfaction and in aocordanca with
tha contract, formally accepted tha Pigeon
Creek ditch and ordered Contractor Wlck-
ham paid the final estimate on the work.
The Individual members of the board who
visited the ditch Thursday expressed them
selves as fully satisfied with the work dona.
Ths Illinois Central railroad, which has
some temporary piling and other obstruc
tions In the ditch, waa ordered to remove
them.. .
As a drainage board the supervisors ad
journed until October 21,
In session aa a county board the super
visors decided to renew tha insurance on
the court house. The hearing In the matter
of tha application' to reopen the petition fof
the : Fenaler ditch was postponed to No
vember 8. The board will be In session today.

Keys Brothers mt Work Acaln.
Keys Brothers, whose carriage factory
burned Sunday morning, August 4, are d ing
business again at the old stand. Tha new
three-story main building for ths brick
work, of which Wlckham Brothers have
ths contract. Is neartng completion, while
the blacksmith shop, which Is consldersbly
larger than the one deatroyed In ths fire,
haa been finished and Is occupied.
To provide room for the Increased also of
the new buildings the city vacated part of
the alley running from First to Seoond
avenue between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-seventh
streets. In exchange the firm
gave a strip of land sixteen feet wide off
its property.
Although the new buildings are nearly
completed, the permit for the erection
of tha same was only taken out yesterday
by the contractors. Ths permit calls for an
expenditure of 828,000 for the main building
and tha blacksmith shop.' Much of the In
terior work In the new building- has been
done by the employes of ths firm, thus
furnishing them employment until the reg
ular (business of the factory waa started
up again. . Edwin Keys of the firm said
yesterday: "We have resumed the manufac
ture of buggies and other vehicles and ex
pect in a snort time to iiave the aame
force as before tha fire at work again.
Considering that our plant was . burned
down not quit two months ago, we con
sider ourselves very fortunate in being
able to start up again at such an early
date. Our blacksmith ahop la completed
and running, you might ssy. In full blast,
and our main building will shortly be
finished. As It Is, we are now occupying ths
lower portion of the main building. With
our now Increased facilities we expect a
proportionately lyoreased business."

I Art Idea of Incor
poration.
(From a Staff Correspondent,)
DE3 MOINES. Sept. 28.-(8peclal.)-Slncs
the campaign started by Attorney General
Bycrs to force the corporations doing busi
ness In Iowa to regard the Iowa law that
requires that they file certified copies of
their articles of Incorporation with the sec
retary of state, where they are organised
In other states. It has been discovered that
the Adams Express company, the Amerlcnn
Express company and the United States Ex
press company all claim to be partner
ships and deny that they are corporations
at all. They deny having any capital atock
and claim that they have, however, sev
eral hundred thousands of dollars "in
terests." Disregarding this claim Attorney General
Byers wll start prosecutions to collect a
fine of $100 for each day that they have
done business in the state without having
filed certified copies of their articles of
Incorporation. It will be claimed that
whether they are formally organised as
corporations or not they are doing a cor
poration business through officers and di
rectors and not through partners, that they
claim the police protection of the atate
and must conform to the law.
In the proaecutlon of the corporations for
disregarding the laws of the state It was
learned today that Attorney General Byers
will allow some few to file their articles
now and pay the filing fee and not be
prosecuted to pay the fine. It is under
stood that he will make a distinction be
tween corporations. It has been discov
ered that some corporations, not public
service, have at various times done a little
business in the state of Iowa. Occasionally
one has secured a contract to erect a
building or do some work of one kind or
snother and Its violation of the law haa
been through Ignorance rather than through
Intention. The state and none of Its cltl
sens have suffered perceptibly. The attor
ney general will Insist only that such now
comply with ths law.
But with the big public service corpora
tions which have claimed the police protec
tion of tha state and have taken millions
of dollars out of the state and have vio
lated the law knowingly, prosecution will
follow for ths collection of the fine of $100
a day.
Creamery Men Coming.
The Iowa State Creamery and Dairy
Men's association will hold Its regular an
nuel convention in this city Dec. 5 and 8.
The convention will bring together a large
number (of prominent dairy men and cream
ery men from over the state and also prom
inent men from outside the state. Two or
three professors from Ames will be In at
tendance and H. R. Wright, state food and
dairy commissioner, will deliver an address.
Northwestern All Right.
When the state railroad commissioner!
returned from their trip of Inspection
over the lines of the Northwestern railway,
they. gave tha road a. clean bill of health
Most of the time was spent on the branch
lines, as It was from these that ths main
complaints have come. All but two small
branch lines were visited and all but a
few milea of the main line traversed. This
will be visited later.' The commissioners
found It to be an excellent manner of
settling troubles. The general manager,
and all of ths officials of the road were
present and being on the ground matters
were quickly arranged. The physical con
dition of the Northwestern was found to
be In fine shsps.

A valuable dog wouldn't sell for 10 cents to
a man who doesn't want a dog. And that
Is true with most anything else. The only
expeditious way to find a man who wants
to buy a dog is to speak to everybody in
Omaha through the want columns ot The
Bee. Those who are Interested will respond.
And It would be a very uninteresting dog.
Indeed, that wouldn't suit anybody. Most
anything you don't want can bs sold at
some price it properly advertised, because

Women do most of the buying for the household;
even for the buying of mens clothes their word
usually goes 'as to where and what to buy.
The women folks read the advertlM-

store prices as their husbands in mar

most for their money.
The Bee is the home paper; it is delivered early and the
