prising men at Logan, who wanted a county seat organ-hence his removal. About that time "Uncle Henry Reel," proprietor of Logan, equipped an office and put A. G. Hard in charge. This was too much and Mr. Davison sold the Courier to Mr. Reel, leaving Hard as editor still. Mr. Reel having more money then news- paper ability, soon tired of his paper plant. The other wing of the Republican party at Logan started a paper known as the Harrison County News," but full of grit Mr. Reel kept the Courier alive, until 1885, though at great loss to himself-at least five thousand dollars. The paper was then leased to George Musgrave, who operated one year and started a paper of his own, called the Observer, still running as a Republican organ.
J. K. Davison edited the Courier for a short time, but at a loss to Mr. Reel, who, in 1887, sold the plant. George Musgrave continued to run the Observer until De- cember 19, 1889, when J. C. McCabe bought the property and still edits the pa- per as a live, local sheet and in the inter- ests of the Republican party. A power press is employed and everything moves on in genuine modern newspaper style.
The Nucleus was established at Logan by the former proprietor of the Observer, George Musgrave, in May 1890, as a Dem- ocratic sheet.
MILL HISTORY.
The building of the water mill-the saw and grist mill-on the east bank of the Boyer river, where Logan now stands, was accomplished in 1856. The persons who held claim to the land at this point, for a small sum gave their title to Henry Reel, who came from Pottawattamie county in the month of November, 1853. He moved his family here in March, 1854, and'erected his cabin. The process of mill building at
112
HARRISON COUNTY.
that time was a long and laborious one. It was not until October, 1856, that the mill was opened up ready for business, the first grinding being done the 17th of that month. The saw mill was not completed until sometime in 1857, when large amounts of all kinds of native lumber were sawed.
The mill at this point is furnished with ample water-power, there being seven and one half feet "head" or fall. Nearly all machinery of this pioneer mill was fash- ioned from hard wood, even most of tlie gear wheels were worked out by Mr. Reel and Lowery Wilson, his son-in-law, who assisted him in building. It was first pro- vided with one run of burrs, but another was added in a few years later on. The frame was all hewed from solid logs, grow- ing near by. The few irons necessary to complete the saw mill, Mr. Reel had brought from Indiana, as he came West, for milling purposes. It was a rude plant, but to its faithfulness is due the lumber which entered into the construction of many a pioneer house. And the flour made here was not "superfine, " but served the purpose and was in fact healthier than that made in modern days. The first win- ter-that long to be talked of, hard winter of 1856-57- there was no roof or weather- boarding over the mill. To the frame was attached sheeting (cotton clothi), which extended over the burrs, shielding them from the roaring blizzards. The bolting was accomplished by means of a bolt, which was turned by hand. This inill has many a bit of history connected with it. Around it clusters many a sad and bitter memory. Men came from Onawa and other points sixty miles away. Flour was taken to Sioux City from this mill.
In 1868, the property was sold to James McCoid, who later on sold to A, Long-
man, who after a few years sold back to McCoid and in 1889 he erected what is known as the "Rock Bottom Mills," just below the old site. The old mill still stands, a monument of the "'50s." The new mill employs the "roller process," having four double set of rolls. It is con- ducted on the "exchange" or merchant mill plan.
THE LOGAN FENCE COMPANY.
This is a (limited)company,incorporated under the laws of Iowa, August 7, 1890, for the purpose of manufacturing a farm fence, from a patent process of uniting wood pickets, or slats, with woven strands of wire, making a durable, flexible and move- able fence for farm, garden and stock yards.
The system of fence made is the "Far- mer's Friend," and this company has the right to make within eighteen counties on the western border of Iowa. The incor- porators were: T. W. Stocker, J. C. Milli- man, A. W. Ford, A. H. Van Scoy, Stephen King, J. A. Heterick, W. H. Wood, J. E. Creager, W. L. Stern. The officers are : J. C. Milliman, President: A. H. Van Scoy, Vice-president ; A. W. Ford, Secre- tary and Treasurer; J. W. Stocker, General Manager. The concern is limited to twenty thousand dollars capital. Their works are situated between Ninth and Tenth Streets, near the railway track, on block 28. A spur track connects them with the main line of the Northwestern road.
The peculiarity of this fence is that it is made by means of a ponderous shaving machine, which takes in logs of the re- quired length, (first having been steamed several days in steam tanks) and slices them into thin layers, or strips, which are worked to within a few inches of the dia- meter of the log. These steamed layers are conveyed by carriers to a knife in rapid

motion, every stroke of which cuts a picket. The great advantage being in the slots not coming forth cross-ways of the grain of the timber, as is common in sawed pickets. Native timber, generally elm and cottonwood is used. Six weav- ing machines weave the pickets into an even and strong fence. The capacity of the mill is five hundred rods of perfect made fencing per day. Sixteen men are employed. The power propelling the mill is a forty-horse power engine. After being woven and rolled in huge bales, they are loaded upon flat cars and shipped to various points in the West.
SCHOOLS.
The first term of school at Logan was taught in 1868 by Horace Mckinney in a small frame building, standing under the hill, near where Rudd's grain warehouse now stands. The same, or possibly the following year, the township erected a neat frame building in the north part of town, which served until Logan was made an independent school district, in 1876, when a part of the present brick, High School building was erected. The first section of this house, together with the grounds, cost the district about ten thousand dol- lars. In 1882 a frame building of small proportion was built in the same yard. These two served until 1871, when it be- came necessary to have more room and an addition was built of brick to the original brick building. The cost of the last named addition was about thirty-six hundred dollars-furniture and all. The citizens of Logan have ever taken great pride, as well as a deep interest in the public school system, which is second to none in all Harrison county. The 1890 report of the County Superintendent of Schools gave 371 pupils, which has now somewhat increased.
Among those who have served in the role of Principals of this school may be named Prof. S. G. Rogers, now in the Pension Department at Washington, D C., who had charge for nine years in suc- cession. He was succeeded by Prof. C. S. Page and he in turn by Prof. Hornby. The present Principal, Prof. H. E. Wheeler, came in 1891.
The present School Board is: W. W. Milliman, President. ` John W. Reed, Treasurer; George W. Wilson, Secretary ; W. H. Wood, A. S. Jewell, Dr. J. Know- les and F. J. Copeland, Directors.

An Ancient Order of United Workmen lodge, (chiefly for insurance purposes)
was formed in 1878, known as the Boyer Valley Lodge, No. 149. At one time it had a membership of forty, but now has but one half of that number.
A Good-Templar's Lodge was organized at Logan, November 14, 1877, by fourteen charter members, and like a ship riding abreast the ocean waves, has risen and fallen, periodically from that date until now.
The Modern Woodmen and Legion of Honor, both benevolent or life insurance orders, have lodges with a fluctuating membership and are still in existence.

MISSOURI VALLEY.
CHAPTER XIII.
LITTLE over a half of a century ago the beautiful and fertile valley where this thriving city now stands was undisturbed by the hand of civilization. The wild grass grew and the prairie flowers blossomed as they had for long, long centuries. Their right to in- habit the virgin soil had never been qnes- tioned, but now what changes have come about. On every hand the gleaming mold-board of the modern-day plow, ag- gressively moves along, smothering the grass and floral growth, on the very bosom which gave them life.
It was in 1854 that H. B. Hendricks, after a long and toilsome journey from Pnt- nam County, Ind., halted his team on the present site of Missouri Valley. He opened up a farm and in 1856, the McIntosh brothers (M. B. and George R.,) came in from the same county and became settlers. The old town of St. Johns sprang up only to go out of existence at the flash and reflection of the first locomotive headlight, peering through the darkness of what is now the bustling commercial cen- ter known as the city of Missouri Valley.
This place is located in the center of St. Johns township, at the foot of the
bluffs, one mile from the Boyer River, ten miles from the banks of the Missouri River. It was platted January 28, 1867, by John, I. Blair on section 15-78-44. The first lot was purchased by George Weare an employe of the Northwestern Railway Company, which is lot 11, of block 4. He subsequently sold to Henry C. Warner, who started the first store. This store was started in 1866. A man known as "Hank" Williams, from Chicago, located in the grain business and paid as high as $2.50 per bushel for wheat.
John C. Henry erected the first build- ing which stood on lot 10, of block 4, and was kept as a saloon and restaurant.
EARLY BUSINESS MEN.
The first attempt at business at this point in the general merchandise line, was in February, 1867, when H. C. Warner freighted goods by wagon from Council Bluffs and opened up the pioneer store.
The first blacksmith in town was Robert Hoy, who came early in 1867, remained several years and sold to Overton & Co.
The first shoemaker was John J. Sulli- van, in the spring of 1857 ; John Caley soon followed.
119
HARRISON COUNTY.
The pioneer harnessmaker was John P. Lahman, in 1867.
The first resident physician was Dr. G. W. Coit, who came in 1867. He had formed a partnership with Dr. G. H. Mc- Gavren in 1866, at old St. Johns. They also operated the earliest drug store at Missouri Valley.
The first attorney to practice was P. D. Mickel, who came in the spring of 1867. He built the residence now occupied by Dr. J. C. Chapman.
Phillip A. Stern came to the place in the summer of 1867 and opened up an ex- clusive clothing house on the east side of Sixth Street. He is still in trade but in other quarters.
The first hardware was sold by W. J. Harris, who moved a stock from St. Johns to the lot upon which the present post- office stands.
In 1867 came Scott Justis and Shields & Meech, who engaged in the grocery trade.
The first furniture dealer was William Bath in 1867. He made and sold factory inade goods and supplied the community with coffins. In 1873 he failed and moved to Arkansas.
The first lumber dealers were Pelan & McChesney, in 1868. They sold to Lo- gan & Meech, they to Kellogg & Co., and they to C. H. Deur.
Cogswell & Smith handled live stock, grain and produce in 1867.
The first merchant tailor of the town was D. G. Hearn, in 1867. He worked in the rear of the store of Laughery & Brook- houser.
In 1867 Laughery & Brookhouser put in a generalstock of goods on Sixth Street. They later removed to Erie Street and finally failed in 1868.
The first jeweler was J. W. Battershall, who came in the spring of 1868 and built
on the corner of Sixth and Erie Streets, and in 1871 failed; he was a character that will be remembered by Robert Mc- Gavren and others for sometime.
McBride & Birchard were early to handle drugs, paints and oils.
L. S. Snyder in the stove, tin and hard- ware line, managed by John Snyder.
Bump & Smith put in a general stock in 1869, on Sixth Street. Later they re- moved to Erie Street. About 1886 Mr. Bump withdrew and Smith still carries on the business.
In 1868, T. E. Brannon, an attorney, was practicing at Missouri Valley, H. C. Warner, wholesale and retail general dealer; D. A. Babcock, hardware; Mc- Gavren & Hull, druggists.
"Men may come and men may go"- but the commerce of a city will go on for- ever.
