tract of land: the southwest quarter of section 22, township 81, range 41, in Har- rison Township. The same being an im- proved tract, then as at this date looked upon by every one, as being the finest quarter section in the whole county. The county paid the owners, Hammer & Ferbs the sum of $3,600, or $22.50 per acre for it. This place was used for poor farm purposes until March 19, 1870, when the Supervisors, exchanged it for a tract of land nearer the center of the county, but of not near the value and real utility. The land traded for is on sections 28 and 33- 80-42, and is in Boyer Township. It is crossed by the railroad and is quite roll- ing. Since making this change, the county has expended $4,700 for buildings, improvements, etc., making a total cost to the county of about $10,000. The farm is usually leased to an Overseer of the Poor, who pays a certain sum for the farm and charges a certain sum per week for the keeping of the pauper poor.


SWAMP LANDS.


By an Act of Congress approved Sept- ember 28, 1850, Iowa came into rightful possession of her "Swamp Land", the same having been set apart by the general government, as marshy or overflowed lands. The same was to be apportioned by counties and disposed of, as the judg- ment of the county officials-the Judge at that time-should dictate. The object was to construct " levees and drains to re- claim the same," and the balance, if any, of the moneys received for such lands was to be expended on roads and bridges over such lands-the remainder to be turned into the general county fund. In Har- rison County, George W. White, as agent for the county, proceeded to survey out such lands. On July 5, 1854, he reported


36


HIARRISON COUNTY.


back to the Land Office, at Washington, that there was in the county lands of this character, amounting to 120,635 acres. These lands were patented by Iowa to the county, October 17, 1859-see record book 2, pages one to eleven. This land was supposed to be sold to actual settlers at $1.25 per acre, which would have given the county the princely sum of $150,794. Some of these lands subsequently proved to be among the most valuable in all the fair domain of this county. But to say that the county ever received such a sum, would be an untrue statement! It is the same old story, so often told by the actual records of half the counties in Iowa. It came easy and went from the county's grasp almost uncounted for, so far as the real intent of the Congressional Act is concerned.


In Harrison County $22,000 worth went toward the laudable use of inducing men to volunteer into the Union ranks, during the Civil War period; each man getting a deed of eighty acres. But of the re- maining $138,794 not one farthing is now in the till of the treasury of the county. The most of that was spent for drains and roads and has long since gone the way of all the earth. From 1855 to 1857 these lands could be pre-empted, which law was taken advantage of by many well-to-do farmers of to-day who were helped to { cheap lands. But suffice to say, over one half of these valuable lands were disposed of, so that the people really were not great gainers by the Act of the United States Congress in 1850.


S


COUNTY FINANCES.


Gold and silver was the currency of the county up to 1857. This came about from the fact that those who came from the Eastern and Middle States brought such


medium with them; again, at that time, Council Bluffs was the point at which overland freight trains, caravans, etc., bound for the mountains and the Pacific Coast, were made up. Here they pur- chased their supplies, hence the money was freely paid and placed in general cir- culation. It was from here that the great Salt Lake trains were fitted out. Those who came to Council Bluffs by water would purchase their teams, implements and family supplies, paying for the same, so long as their money lasted. But little if any paper money was placed in circula- tion until late in 1857; but then it became very plentiful up to the Civil War period -1861.


Not unlike other counties in. Iowa, up to 1866, county warrants were not always at par, never above! the chief circulating medium was at an early day cottonwood lumber, swamp land scrip and county warrants-the latter about as apt to shrink as the others named! This state of affairs afforded a harvest for speculators. How- ever in 1866 and 1867, county orders were at par, but soon fell back to sixty cents on the dollar. Then, 1870, matters brightened up, but only to be blighted by the panic of 1871-72, and whether by local mismall- agement or upon general financial un- easiness throughout the entire country, at this date, the "bottom fell out" again !


To say that the county has always been well managed for the tax payer would hardly be true, however, with all her ups and downs, it may be said that in 1888, the county was able to pay her indebted- ness, dollar for dollar.


During 1858-59-60 the large number of sawmills within Harrison County, espe- cially along the Missouri bottom lands, became the cause for another currency medium. Lumber was the order of the


37

day and was exchanged for nearly every- thing needed. This, together with the swamp-land scrip, with now and then a county warrant issued for services ren- dered, constituted the bulk of circulating medium. Then came the era of bank bills, said to have been issued by reliable banks in nearly half the States in the Un- ion. They were artistic beauties! Their face presented the picture of deer and "wildcats ;" also the portraits of men liv- ing as well as dead-of some banker's fair daughter or her mother. The country was flooded with these promises to pay ; but so uncertain were they that bank "detectors" (books issued for the purpose) were found in every business man's hands. Even these failed to protect the innocent masses, and he who supposed he had plenty and to spare, to-day, found to-mor- row that he had nothing of value. He who is not pleased with our present bank- ing system should consider that we never had the correct and safe banking system we now enjoy until after the close of the Rebellion. If a man has "money" to- day, it is good wherever he goes, and "bank note detectors" are only known as among the things of the past-practi- cally speaking.


During the first part of the year 1854 and up to the autumn of that year, what little money was paid into the county for taxes, was received by William V. Cooper (treasurer by appointment.) The records were then kept in the little log house at Magnolia. His brother, P. G. Cooper, was acting Clerk of the Courts, and while holding watch over the county books and cash, during September of that year, the office and effects were burned.


In 1858 County Treasurer Cooper was "investigated" by Judge D. E. Brainard, County Judge, but the shortage was sub-


sequently made good and the taxpayers suffered no loss, it appears from the rec- ords.


County finances were undisturbed by "crookedness," except an occasional rip- ple, here and there, occasioning no great loss to the county until February 17, 1868. Upon the evening of that day the County Treasurer's safe was wedged open by burglars (to this day unknown) who worked their deeds of darkness financially fine, for it was at the season of the year when the safe contained more money than at other time of the year. At the time it was generally understood that not far from $14,000 was obtained, but upon more careful examination of the record of the various funds it is learned that the amount comes within $11,000. All sorts of ru- mors were afloat regarding this robbery- some believing to this day that it was the work of those living within the county, while others believe that it was the work of professional "safe crackers." But be that as it may, the tax payers lost the above sum of money, it being looked upon as a public, rather than a private calamity, and caused by the lack of suit- able safes, vaults, etc. It was generally believed that one Michael Rogers and a gang under his leadership were the rob- bers. In due time, he was indicted, the title of the case being "The State of Iowa v's. Mike Rogers." He was never caught however, and the case was dropped from the docket, and neither the Treasurer or his bondsmen were held accountable for the loss.


No other financial calamity overtook Harrison County until the County Treas- urer's defalcation, which was made public in January, 1888. This was brought about by a long train of circumstances by which the county lost nearly $20,000.

About $19,000, however, was recovered through the bondsmen and other interested parties.


From that day to this the business of the various county officials has been thor- oughly looked after; the funds properly counted and all vouchers demanded at the times prescribed by law.


The county's finances are now (1891) in a good condition, as will be seen by the subjoined official report :

NATIONAL, STATE, JUDICIAL AND COUNTY REPRESENTATION.


CHAPTER III.


N a Republican form of Government like ours in America, it must be ad- mitted by any thinking, reading, ob- serving mind, that while now and then unworthy men are elected to office, in a great majority of cases those who hold office, from the lowest to the most exalted, are representative men-men who usually speaking, express the moral and legal sentiment of their constituents. It is the special design of this chapter to show who have represented the people in National, State, Judicial and County office. The first to begin with is a list of those who have been elected to a seat in the


STATE SENATE.


James D. Test, of Council Bluffs, rep- resented this county in the State Senate, being elected in 1853; William H. Pusey, of the same place, in 1857; John F. Dun- comb, of Ft. Dodge, in 1859; George W. Bassett, of Ft. Dodge, in 1863; Addison Oliver, of Onawa, in 1865; Charles Atkins, of Onawa, in 1869; George D. Perkins, of Sioux City, in 1873; A. W. Ford, of


Logan, in 1877 ; T. M. C. Logan, of Logan, in 1881; L. R. Bolter, of Logan, in 1885, 1887 and 1889.


STATE REPRESENTATIVES-LOWER HOUSE.


T. Butler Neeley, (Democrat) elected in 1854; N. G. Wyatt, (Democrat) elected in 1856; Samuel H. Cassady (Democrat) elected in 1858; D. M. Harris, (Democrat) elected in 1859; William W. Fuller, (Re- publican) elected in 1861; Stephen King, (Republican) elected in 1863; L. R. Bol- ter, (Democrat) elected in 1865; J. H. Smith, (Republican) elected in 1867; George H. McGavren, (Republican) elected in 1869; P. Cadwell, (Republican) elected in 1871; L. R. Bolter, (Demo- crat) elected in 1873-75; H. B. Lyman, (Republican) elected in 1877; George Richardson, (Republican) elected in 1879; L. R. Bolter, (Democrat) elected in 1881- 83; D. M. Harris, (Democrat) elected in 1885; B. F. Roberts, (Republican) elected in 1887; J. K. McGavren, (Democrat) elected in 1889; N. M. Sharpnack, (Dem- ocrat) elected in 1891.


Hon L. R. Bolter has served longer


40


HARRISON COUNTY.


in the House of Representatives from Harrison County, than any other man, and be it said to his credit, no more pru- dent and painstaking representative was ever elected for such a position from all the Missouri Slope.


JUDGES OF THE DISTRICT COURT.


The first person to preside as Judge of the District Court, within Harrison County, was Samuel Riddle, of Council Bluffs, who was elected in 1854; Asahel W. Hubbard, of Sioux City, was elected in 1858; Isaac Pendleton, of Sioux City, in 1862; Henry Ford, of Magnolia, in 1866-70; Charles H. Lewis, of Cherokee, in 1874-78-82; Charles H. Lewis, George W. Wakefield and S. M. Ladd, in 1886; Judge Gaynor, of La Mars, in 1890.


JUDGES OF THE CIRCUIT COURT.


By an act of the Twelfth General As- sembly of Iowa, the office of Circut Court was created, taking effect, April 3, 1869, and lasting seventeen years, being abol- ished in 1886, when extra District Judges were provided for.


The Circuit Judges having jurisdiction in Harrison County were: Hon. Addison Oliver, of Monona County, elected in 1868-72 and resigned in 1874; Hon J. R. Zuver, of Magnolia, Harrison County, was appointed by the Governor, and elected in 1874, to fill the unexpired term of Judge Oli er,


Judge Zuver was re-elected at the election of 1876 and at the election of 1880. Owing to ill-health he was unable to discharge the duties of his office, the last two years of his term.


Hon. George W. Wakefield, of Sioux City, was elected in 1884 and served for the year 1885-86, at which date the office of Circuit Judge was abolished.

HARRISON COUNTY.


AGRICULTURE AND RAILROADS.


CHAPTER IV.


B EING purely an agricultural county, it was very natural that an agri- cultural society should be among the earliest associations of the county. Hence we find that in 1858 the Harrison County Agricultural Society was formed by the following members, as officers and directors : Henry Olmstead, President; John G. Downs, Secretary ; directors : Dr. J. S. Cole, J. H. Farnsworth, William Dakan, Henry Reel, Robert McGavien, Stephen Mahoney, Lucius Merchant, Wil- liam T. Raymond, John M. Raymond, Patrick Morrow, John Noyes, Jacob S. Fountain, Daniel Brown, W. S. Meech, H. M. Huff, and others.


Their early fairs were held in the vicin- ity of the old court-house, at Magnolia, that building sometimes being used as a hall in which to exhibit fruits, vegetables and fine-art work. The first annual ex- hibit was made in the antumn of 1858, and they continued at the same place for eight years, at the ingathering of the yearly harvest. As the soil then produced even more bountifully than now, the county new, full of rivalry and ambition, the early fairs were indeed of a better order than those of more recent date. Again, those days were not cursed by the presence of " wheels of fortune," " chuck-


luck boards," soap fiends, and patent- right vendors, so common in these days of "advanced civilization."


Among the "hundred and one" premi- ums awarded at the Second Annual (1859) County Fair, were the following :


Best stallion, A. Servis, $3.00; best pair horses, Phineas Cadwell, $3.00; best pair two-year-old steers, James Hardy, $2.00; best plowing, Thomas Chatburn, $3.00; best seed corn, O. V. Brainard, $1.00; best fresh butter, Mrs. P. Cadwell; best cheese, G. M. Brown, $1.00; best yarn stockings, Mrs. H. M. Irish, 50c .; best embroidery, Mrs. G. W.

At the first fair B. C. Adams and Judge Stephen King ran a foot-race, to the great amusement of all present.


In 1866, a proposition was made the so- ciety to remove headquarters to that por- tion of the county which should donate the best set of buildings, grounds, etc. In such contest, the people of Little Sionx far outrivaled all others, and the base of annual fairs for Harrison County, in 1867, was changed from Magnolia to Little Sioux. Here the people had enclosed twenty acres of land, provided a good

race-track, built excellent buildings, in- cluding floral hall and shedding. But growing out of the fact that a joint fair was held with Monona County for a year or two. there came another cry from the people, to remove the fair to Missouri Valley, whose enterprising populace gave good fenced grounds, erected spacious buildings, and put in order a fine race- track.


In 1872 the annual exhibit was held at Missouri Valley, and has been ever since, except seasons when the floods and rains descended from heaven too strong !


During 1887 there was a new and excel- lent floral hall erected, 30x100 feet, and so made as to light and ventilation that all were well pleased at the improvement. The old buildings had become decayed and element worn-indeed by some it is related were so dangerous that many pro- cured accident policies before entering the gateway! The new building cost $1,200. The society has always been an exception to Iowa fairs, from the fact that it has been a financial success. In 1887 the gate money amounted to $1.700, besides other cash resources, amounting to $2,700. Fine arts, fruits, grains, vegetables, fancy grades of stock, etc., have annually at- tracted thousands of people, both in and outside Harrison County.


Henry Ohnstead served as President two years (1858-'59), and Hon. Phineas Cadwell was elected twenty years in suc- cession (except 1879, when G. D. Wilson relieved him). In 1883 H. B. Cox was elected, and served as President until the present one, B. J. Moore, of Dunlap, was elected.


The first Secretary, John G. Downs, served until he entered the Union army in 1862. Others served until 1872, includ- ing Judge Henry Ford; C. W. Oden took


charge in such capacity, serving until 1878, and was succeeded by James K. McGavren ; he served until 1883, and gave way to A. B. Hosbrook, the present in- cumbent. It is claimed that too much praise cannot well be given to the plan- ning and labors of both Mr. and Mrs. Hosbrook.


It should here be said that in 1872 the society was reorganized by the following persons : Phineas Cadwell, Joe H. Smith, C. W. Oden, William H. Eaton, J. A. Brainard, J. S. Cole, E. Cobb, Patrick Morrow, Job Ross, W. S. Meech, O. J. Goodenough, Jacob T. Stern, George Richardson, Colonel J. R. Wheeler, A. L. Harvey, R. B. Terry, Stephen King, H. B. Cox, David Gamet, Samuel De Cou, William Chambers, Henry Garner.
