What may have been lacking In numbers at the afternoon reception was made up In the cordiality and enthusiasm with which Judge Smith was greeted by all, Irrespective of political affiliation. It was the greeting due a distinguished cltl aen, who has served on the district bench and In the halls of congress. Every seat in the banquet hall was occupied. The reception In Bayllss park In the afternoon was strictly a nonpartisan wel icma, such as it had been Intended It should be. The esteem and affection In which Judge Smith is held by the veterans of the civil war was evidenced when the old soldier gathered at their post head quarters and marched to the congress man' residence and formed hi escort to the platform In the park from which, the brief exercises were held. .The old soldiers were accorded seals on the platform, and Congressman Smith In hts brief address spoke feelingly of the attention paid him by those veterans of the civil war.

The short pro gram of addresses was preceded and fol lowed try a concert by Covalt's orchestra, which wis enjoyed by the large crowd. To Robert B. Wallace, former council man, was- assigned the honor of presiding at the afternoon exercises, ami in hi In troductory address Mr. Wallace apok In part as follow: x Our city ha the reputation of being able to throw aside, whenever Uie occasion de mands, any political or personal differ ences, and enter with a sincere spirit Into suoh a celebration as we are enjoying to day. We vltould stand upon the broad and liberal ground that our distinguished ful- Council Bluffs row cltltea and congressman has Wrowsrht honor and credit to our community, and therefore we are glad. Indeed, of the op portunity to extend to him the right hand of good fellowship. We can amy to him upon this occasion, that, while the Ninth district In the past has often honored him, he has many time over honored his home city and state. Turning to Judge Smith, Mr. Wallace la closing said: We come, not a republlcn or demo crat; not as of one religious denomina tion or another; we come with our politi cal doctrines burled and oar personal prejudice forgotten, to extend to you, oar fellow cltlxen, a hearty welcome home. Tribute of Judge Deemer. Mr. Wallace then Introduced Hon. Ho race R. Ieemer of Red paA. Judge of the Iowa ftupreme court, who from hi ac quaintance of more than twenty-two years with Judge Smith drew material for an eulogy of the congressman' character aa a man, hi ability a a lawyer and of hi public services, saying In part: I care not how far Judge Bmlth may be advanced, may he become speaker of the house of representatives, or member of the United States senate, he will do as much honor to you In either position as he Is doing In his present place fn the halls of congress. You appreciate that faot and, without any suggestion from him you gave him this warm demonstration. I am glad to know that It Is non-partisan and non-po-lltleal In character. There are many reaaori why the people of Council Bluffs should be proud of Judge Smith. In the flnrt place he was born In Council Bluffs and I have no doubt you are proud of It. In the second place he has always been true to your In terest and of that you should be proud. And. farther than that, no member of congress from thl district has ever at tatned the high position that Judge Smith has. Judge Smith is no Idealist; he Is not a mere theorist, but he Is a finely educated rrentletrmn In all phases. I have seen him n the flush of victory, I have seen him. In the disappointment of defeat and through It all he was strong, honest and courag eous. I saw him take his place at the bar. I saw him go through the starvation period, before his talents were recognized and he begun to make for himself a place in this community. I saw him take hi place on the Judicial bench of thl dlctrlct and saw his excel lent work In that field and, finally, It became necessary for this people to select a man to go down to Washington and represent the district In the halls of con gress. There was but one name men tioned and that was Judge Walter I Smith. He was sent to represent ti In the Washington know something of his stand halls of congress and we all know of his record there. You who have been to Ing and character in that city. Honor Gneat Responds. Congressman Smith spoke briefly, open ing hla address with the following quota tion from an address of James A.

PLANS TO STRAIOHTEX HIVErl Palo Alto County People Have Bl Scheme On. -MASON CITT, la., Aug. .-(Bpeclal r- A project to reclaim something Ilka 31,000 acre of land in Palo A Ho county and to greatly benefit 18,000 acres more 1 now under consideration, and If carried through aucceasfully there the contagion is likely to spread generally, for the same condition prevails in most counties of the middle west The project Is to straighten the Dei Moines river. At present It la a very crooked stream. An engineer has been there to look over the situation and hi re port la most favorable. About sixty section of land would be affected. From the north and south . boundary of the county there Is a fall of about seventy five feet, according to the geological sur vey. The river ha a total length In the county of 62.28 mile. The proposed, Im provement would reduce this one-half, or, to be accurate, M.t miles. Thl would give the fall to the proposed Dew riverbed of about three feet per mils, and this would give abundant watej power and a splendid opportunity for Irrigation ahould ever occasion demand. A rough estimate ha been secured aa to the cost and the figure ha been placed at . $235,000. Thl would mean a tax of IS. 40 per acre on the land redeemed and 1200 on the land otherwise benefited, and it Is figured that on good crop would pay all the cost and have a balance left.

He will be pleased as the woman who has just found a $10.00 dress for $4.03 at a bang up bargain sale. I have a building full of real values in vehicles but they aro high class vehicles, the sort I have aways been successful in selling, and the only sort I should continue to sell were I to remain in the vehicle business in place of going deeper into auto mobiles and repairing.
