Pruyne, of Harlan; G. R. Davidson, of Lincoln; S. G. Right, of Amity: Robert Maxwell, of Buchanan; W. W. Russell, of Washington. The last named was chosen chairman.
At their September session the board voted to submit the question of voting a tax to aid in the construction of the then pro- posed railway, extending from Afton, in Union County, to Nebraska City, Nebraska. Also to aid in one projected, and known as the St. Louis, Chillicothe & Omaha Rail- road.
Board of 1868 .- T. A. Prest, A. J. Bea- vers, A. J. Chantry, Levi Reeves, I. J. Jones, E. Miller, J. R. Hinchman, T. A. McAlpin, J. C. Harris, L. Conner, G. R. Davidson, W. W. Russell (chairman), and Robert Max- well.
At the first session of this board, the ques- tion of voting aid toward railroad building came up. The matter was finally submitted to the voters of the county, Marchi 4. The 'same was carried by a majority of 209 votes. (For full particulars see the chapter on " Railroads.")
Board of 1869 .- William Butler, A. J. Beavers, Wilson Bellis, I. J. Jones, John Aiken, I. A. McAlpin, J. P. Harris, J. W. Turner, J. B. Short, T. A. Prest, I. N. Tom- linson, L. Conner.

Board of 1870 .- Daniel McCoy, Levi Reeves, Wilson Bellis, T. A. McDonald, T. J. Garnett, A. Loranz (chairman), J. P. Harris, William McLane, J. W. Turner, J. B. Short, T. A. Prest, N. C. Martin.
At their June session of 1870 the board had the following proceedings:
Be it resolved that there shall be sub- mitted to the qualified electors of Page County, at an election in 1870, the question, "Shall Page County erect a court-house, which building shall be built at the county seat, and cost not to exceed $50,000?" That to provide for the building of the same, the county to issue bonds bearing ten per cent. interest, payable semi-annually, on or before ten years from date, at the option of the county. That a tax of three mills be levied on the taxable property of said county an- nnally, to pay the interest on said indebted- ness, and to pay up said bonds.
The above proposition was voted upon by the people; the measure received 509 votes, as against 819 against it.
The tax levy for 1870 was as follows: State, two mills on the dollar; county, four mills; school, two mills; bridge, three mills; insane, one mill.
In 1870-'71 the county supervisor sys- tem was changed from a representation by each township to three members, who were to draw lots for the long and short term of office. The old system was more expensive and at the same time fraught with many diffi- culties, it being harder for twelve or sixteen men to arrive at conclusions than for three.
Board of 1871: F. J. Bracken, William Mc- Lean (chairman), Isaac Damewood, A. Loranz.
When the new board met in June, 1871, they contracted with the United Presbyterian Church for the use of their church as a place for holding court. The county paid the so- ciety $100 per year for it.
Board of 1872: William McLean (chair- | $7,456.
man), F. J. Bracken, J. W. Turner. At the June session they allowed over fifty ex-Union soldiers the sum of $150 each, under the act of the Board of Supervisors of January, 1863, regarding bounties, the total amount paid being $6,950. It seems that for some reason these amounts had not been claimed by those entitled to them. It was a question claiming legal attention, but was finally de- cided in favor of the soldiers.
Board of 1873: William McLean, J. W. Turner, John Griffith.
Nothing of great importance came up be- fore the board during the early part of the year. In June they advertised for bids for rooms to hold court in, the court-house question again came up for consideration. The board finally submitted the matter to a vote of the people, at the general election of 1873. The proposition was for the erection of a court-house to cost not to exceed $25,000. The vote stood 583 for 1,158 against the meas- nre. After three or four times submitting the question to the people, and each time being defeated, the county " Dads " got tired and took the matter into their own hands, doing about all they could and keep within the law controlling them.
At their October meeting, in 1873, Mr. Griffith offered the following resolution, which was passed:
Resolved, That a county building be or- dered erected on the public square in the town of Clarinda, 44 x 60 feet, with six offices below and a court-room above, with vaults for the county records, according to plans and specifications on file in the Anditor's office; and that J. W. Turner be appointed a special commissioner to superintend the same. The Anditor is hereby authorized to issue warrants for labor and material to complete the structure.
The entire cost of this court-house was

HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
At the above session bids were received for a room in which to hold court, as follows: The Universalist church $300, the Loy & Van Sandt building $300, and the United Presbyterian church $250. The last named was accepted, under contract of one year.
Board of 1874: George Mccullough, J. W. Turner (chairman), John G. Griffith.
At the first session that year, it was shown that $3,930 had been expended on the court- house structure and $1,803 for new vaults.
Board of 1875: John G. Griffith (chair- man), George Mccullough, Samuel Gorman.
Board of 1876: John G. Griffith (clair- inan), Samuel Gorman and George McCul- lough.
Board of 1877: John G. Griffith (chair- man), Samuel Gorman and O. Wetmore.
At the June session the board had the poor farm matter under advisement and con- cluded to submit the same to the people. The proposition was to levy a two-mill tax, by which to raise $10,000 and with it pur- chase and improve a farm upon which to pro- vide for the county's unfortunate poor. At the election determining the matter the vote stood 578 to 947, in favor of the measure.
Board of 1878: J. H. Buckingham, John G. Griffith (chairman), O. Wetmore.
Board of 1879: O. Wetmore (chairman), J. H. Buckingham, C. A. Johnson.
At the June session that year G. L. Shane, the steward of the poor farm, rendered the following report to the board, which was for fifteen months ending June 1, 1879.
Amount produced :
Corn (eighty acres), 2,000 bushels; pota- toes (three acres), 275 bushels; sweet potatoes, five bushels; turnips, fifteen bushels; beans, five bushels; grass seed, twenty-five bushels; hay, twenty-five tons. Butter and eggs, suffi- cient for supply of poor farm purposes.

Board of 1880: J. H. Buckingham, C. A. Johnson, J. W. Turner (chairman).
Board of 1881: J. W. Turner (chairman), C. A. Johnson, Peter Seisher.
The first business attended to by the board of that year was, to appoint a committee to go to the poor farm and make an itemized in- ventory of all that belonged to the premises. The report was as follows:

Total value $14,342
Board of 1882: J. W. Turner (chair- inan), P. Swisher, C. A. Johnson.
The records show that at their September session, the board was presented with a peti- tion presented and signed by over 400 per- sons, praying that the people have an oppor- tunity to vote again on the long and oft repeated court-house question. This time the proposition called for a goodly sum, -- one sufficient to erect a befitting temple of justice for Page County, the proposition to vote a two-mill tax, each year for five years, to build a court-house not to exceed in cost $75,000. The board heard the prayer and the people voted on the measure at the general election that fall.
Board of 1883: P. Swisher (chairman), C. A. Johnson, W. M. Alexander.
The only matter worthy of record in this connection for that year is the report made

Board of 1884: J. D. Laughlin, Peter Swisher, W. M. Alexander.
It was during this year, and in the Novem- ber session, that the board engaged Foster & Libbie, architects, from Des Moines, Iowa, to make plans and specifications for the court house which the people of Page County, after so many years, had concluded to build. The price paid for the plans and drawings was $775.
Board of 1885: W. M. Alexander (chair- man), P. Swisher, J. D. Laughlin.
On the 18th of February, of that year, bids were opened for proposals to build the court-house.
William Butler was awarded the contract at $71,000, exclusive of heating apparatus. The contractor gave bonds, to the amount of $100,000, signed by C. Linderman, J. P. Burrows, J. H. Dunlap, J. N. Miller and Jacob Butler.
Board of 1886: P. Swisher (chairman), J. D. Laughlin, R. H. Fulton.
The Board made the following tax levy for 1886: County, 4 mills on the dollar; school, 1 mill; bridge, 3 mills; court-house, 2 mills; insane, 1 mill.
Board of 1887: J. D. Laughlin (chair- man), R. H. Fulton, I. C. Preston.
At the April session a contract was made with M. E. Herbert for putting in steam heating works into the new court-house, the price being fixed at $3,845, including all necessary changes needed to use the city water-works.
At their July meeting the board looked at samples of fresco work, designs for vaults, safes, etc. After due deliberation and con- sultation with various experts the board finally contracted with Messrs. Hine, Kelly & Co., of Chicago, Illinois, in the sum of $2,- 600, to provide the latest patented and greatly improved metallic vault shelving, file boxes and omnibus cases.
They also at that time awarded the coll- tract to the Union School Furniture Com- pany, of Battle Creek, Michigan, for all the desks, cases, tables, etc. needed in the new court-house. They received for such work $4,419.

HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
Clarinda now stands, at the house of Philip Boleware, or at what is now known as " Sham- baugh's Mills." The first term of court was held there September 22, 1851, Judge Sloan presiding.
Clarinda being selected as the seat of jus- tice early in 1853, Judge S. F. Snider, county judge, moved to the new county seat and soon erected a building on the north side of the public square, in which he had his office and from which he sold goods. This was destroyed by fire, together with its contents, including his county court records, on the night of Jan- uary 12, 1858.
The first term of district court held at Clarinda was in a small board " shanty," which stood on the west side of the public square. It had been built to the southwest of the town for school purposes, and in it Mrs. Samuel Farlan taught the first school in the vicinity of Clarinda. A log school-house was · soon built on the square, now used by the south public school-building. Here a few terms of district court were held. It is said that whisky used to be kept near the log court room in cask, and that " all hands and everybody" used to help themselves, notwithstanding the first case tried here was for a violation of the Iowa liquor law!
In 1856 the county erected a frame court- house, which stood on the southeast corner of the public square. It still stands and is used as a paint shop; it was moved just to the north of the square and across the street. It was about 30 x 40 feet, two stories high, with court room on second floor and county offices beneath. For years it was the bee-hive of Clarinda; in it the postoffice was held for years. The court room got too small and churches and school-houses had to be used for holding courtin. In 1867 a proposition was left to the people as to whether the county should build a court-house. The measure
was defeated by a vote of 128 to 815. In June, 1870, the question again came up be- fore the board, who submitted a proposition for the voters at the fall election, as to whether a $50,000 court-house should be erected by issuing bonds. That measure was defeated by a vote of 425 to 795. By the year 1873 it became apparent to the supervisors that a more suitable building in which to keep the public records was imperatively demanded, and again a proposition went before the peo- ple asking for funds to build a $25,000 court-house. This met the same fate as all before. The vote stood 483 to 1,158 against the measure. This was more than the su- pervisors could stand, and they took the matter into their own hands, and at their October meeting, 1873, Supervisor Griffith offered the following resolution, which was passed :
Resolved, That a county building be or- dered erected on the public square in the town of Clarinda, 44 x 60 feet, with six offices be- low and a court room above, with vaults for county records, according to plans now on file with the auditor; and that J. W. Turner be appointed a special commissioner to superin- tend the same.
Thus, after a long and protracted effort, Page County succeeded in securing a court- house, partly worthy the naine. It was not a palatial affair, and not such as the wealth of the county should have erected, but it was the best the board had power to build. Its cost was $7,456.
The matter was allowed to rest for about ten years; but in the summer of 1882 the subject was again revived, for the time had come when more vault room was badly needed for the safe keeping of records. Petitions were circulated and signed by over 400 voters, asking the board to submit the question of building to the people. The board then
265
HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
consisted of J. W. Turner (chairman), P. Swisher, C. A. Johnson. They were all farmers and only sought to serve the county's best interest. At the September meeting they decided to submit it to a vote. The proposition called for a court-house, the cost of which should not exceed the sum of $75,- 000, to be paid by an annual tax of two mills per dollar, until paid for. After the vote had been cast and counted it was found that 1,972 favored, while 1,286 were opposed to it.
In the fall of 1882 Mr. Turner declined to be re-nominated, and he was succeeded by W. M. Alexander. In the fall of 1884 C. A. Johnson was succeeded by J. D. Laughlin.
William Foster (of Foster & Libbe), was chosen the architect, and he presented plans to the board at their January (1885) meet- ing. The board accepted the plans and at once called for bids, to be opened February 18, 1885. There were thirty bids in. After a careful examination the board awarded the contract to oue of Clarinda's old pioneers- William Butler, whose bid was $71,000. His bond was fixed at $100,000, and at once signed by some of Page County's best men. The contract called for the completion of the job by January 1, 1888. During 1885 the foundation was laid, and during 1887 the walls and roof were completed; in 1886, and December 19, 1887, the complete structure was accepted by the board.
It is proper to state that during the whole time, while the building was in progress, con- tractor Hon. William Butler was in hearty accord with the board, and he spared no pains, neither expense, to fully carry out his part of the contract.
The cost of the structure and furnishing the saine, including steam heat, was as fol- lows:
Contract price of building, $71,000; steam heat, $3,845; fresco painting, $2,500; gas
machine and fixtures, $1,220; furniture and vaults, $7,019; safe in the treasurer's office, $700; sundries, $216; making a total of $86,500.
The " Kingdom of Page" may well point with pride to this building.
To undertake to describe this beautiful "Temple of Justice" in the space allotted to us, would indeed be but folly. In brief, it may be said, that from the very basement, with its private walks aud steam-heating plant, on up through the elegantly designed court, even to the artistic sky-blue rotunda, richly frescoed, all bespeaks of GRANDEUR AND MAGNIFICENCE!
THE COUNTY POOR FARM.
The thing of all others that distinguishes Christian from pagan lands is their chiari- table and humane institutions. In the old ancient kingdoms the poor as well as those unfortunate creatures who were born blind or dumb, or in any way maimed or impaired in a physical scuse, were cast out from society, or in some ages of the world put to death soon after birth. But to-day Christian civil- ization lias builded homes and hospitals for unfortunates of all classes, and the same are kept at public expense. We have our deaf and dumb institutes; our colleges for the blind; our reform schools; our orphans' homes; our asylumns for the feeble-minded; our soldiers' homes; our insane hospitals, and our homes for the erring and friendless; and last, though not least, we have established in Iowa a system for caring for our unfortu- nate poor. They are not even like the alms- houses of the East, but homes indeed for those on whom financial prosperity has not seemed to smile. We term them " poor farms:" usually situated near the county seats. Prior to the inauguration of this system the county provided, as best they could, for their
266
HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY.
poor people by hiring some one to board them, but finding this too complicated and expensive, they petitioned for the present poor-farm system.
It was in 1878 that Page County deemed it prudent to purchase land for such a home for her poor people. By an act of the Board of Supervisors (after first lawfully submit- ting the question to the voters) 170 acres of land was purchased on section-of town- ship 69, range 37, in the civil township of Nodaway, and is only a mile and a half west of Clarinda, the county seat. The county have erected suitable buildings, made proper improvements, and managed to make the place self-sustaining.
The following gives the expenses incidental to opening up the poor farm: cost of land, $5,280 ; erection of building, $3,247; mules and horses, $475; grain and stock, $274; implements, $170; sewing-machine, etc., $50, -making a total of $9,506.
Much concerning the expenses in income from this farin, in connection with the poor, will be found in the chapter relating to the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors.
The following is a transcript of the County Treasurer's report, and will serve to show the present financial standing at this time:

POPULATION.
ROM the settlement of the county, about 1840 up to the year 1850, the growth of the settlement was very slow. Statistics are not to be found for that period, but from the memory of the liardy pioneer, it has been learned that up to 1848 there were not to ex- ceed thirty families in what is now Page County. These families aggregated not far from 150 population. From 1850 to 1860 the growth was not rapid, but steady in its increase. Few men of means came to the county in those earlier days. They had no riches, save the spirit of industry, economy and intelligence, so that in the march of years wealth and comfort has been the result. From 1860 the growth of the county never slackened, or came to a dead stand=still, but it continually increased. The brunt of the pioneer battle was borne by the earliest com- ers, for within the period of a few years the greatest hardship of pioneer life had disap- peared, and the people began to live after a better manner. The early settlers were nearly
all native-born Americans, the greater por- tion of them coming from Ohio and Indiana, although a goodly number came from Ken- tucky, Tennessee and Missouri. These were good States to liave been reared in, and yet still better to emigrate from !-- good wlien one contemplated the beautiful domain of which Page County is now composed. The old " Buckeye" and " Hoosier" States have doubtless furnished the " Hawkeye " State more of her population thian any other four States, and it was these States tliat first made our broad and alınost boundless prairies to blossom like the rose!
The following carefully compiled and au- thentic table, taken from the census of 1856 and 1885, will serve a good purpose in this connection, to inform the reader of to-day as to the condition of the agricultural resources of Page County at an early date, as well as many other things concerning her people in general, in contrast with the findings of the 1885 census :
