THE FARMERS' MUTUAL FIRE AND LIGHTNING INSURANCE ASSOCIATION,
Of Harrison County, was incorporated May 25, 1887, with headquarters at Wood- bine. Began to assume risks June 25 of that year. The incorporators were Wil- liam H. De Cou, J. H. Rice, J. D. DeTar, E. W. Milliman, H. C. Harshbarger, J. A. Danielson, and L. D. Harris.
The first report was made to the State Auditor in January, 1889, and was as fol- lows :
Amount of risks in force at the begin- ning of the year, $131,083; amount. of risks written during the year, $73,259.99; amount of risks canceled during the year, $6,492; amount of risks in force at the end of the year, $197,850.99; amount of losses paid during the year, $52; amount of other expenses, $125.86; total expenses during the year, $177,86. The first six losses paid were : Jonathan Holeton, horse, $75; J. A. Deal, steer, $12; J. H. Rice, yearling and a calf, $27; G. W. Bobbitt, heifer, $25; W. B. Gilkerson, steer, $18; F. W. Myers, cow, $22.50.
The association is steadily increasing as the farmers are becoming acquainted with it and the low rate of insurance, which is from 75 cents to $1.00 per $1,000 annually. The headquarters at the present time (January, 1892) are at Logan.
J. H. Rice, President, L. L. Dewell, Vice President, C. M. Cadwell, Secretary, E. W. Milliman, Treasurer.

RAILROADS.
In these days of fast mail trains and live-stock freights, it is hard for one to realize that in the early settlement of Harrison County, the matter of railroads was never brought into account. In fact Henry Reel, one of the pioneers, left In- diana because he preferred to live away from tlie sound of a locomotive whistle.
At the time this county was settled by "Squatters," there was not a mile of rail- road within a thousand miles, and it was several years before the first train of cars ran upon Iowa soil-the first being on the Rock Island line, in 1856, to Iowa City, then the State capital. The North- western line was the first to be built to the Missouri River, and the date was De- cember, 1866, ten years from the time it crossed the Mississippi at Davenport.
In January, 1859, a company was formed for the purpose of building a railroad from the Missouri River to the great pineries of Eastern Minnesota. It was styled the "Council Bluffs, Boyer Valley & Minne- sota Railroad Company." The officers were: J. W. Denison, President; J. E. Johnson, Vice President; H. Olmsted, Secretary ; and N. Harris, Treasurer. The directors were: J. W. Denison, J. E. Johnson, Stephen King, N. Harris, Will- iam M. Hill, J. S. Cole, H. Olmsted, G. W. McGavren and C. Baughn.
47
HARRISON COUNTY.
A little later the same year a company was organized, of Harrison and Shelby County men, known as the "Harlan Junction, Magnolia & Platte Valley Rail- road Company."
Neither of these roads was ever built- the war came on and when that ended, other roads were built across the State, taking up the territory intended to be used by these home companies.
The Chicago & Northwestern was built from Cedar Rapids to the Missouri River as follows: From Cedar Rapids to Mar- shalltown in 1861-62; from that point to State Center, in 1863; to Nevada, July 4, 1864; to Boone (then named "Montana") March, 1865; to Council Bluffs, Decem- ber, 1866.
The Sioux City & Pacific, now a part of the great Northwestern system, was con- pleted in December, 1867.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Road, which touches Harrison County, was constructed in 1881.
These three railway lines give Harrison County ample shipping and rapid transit facilities. The Northwestern enters the county just above Dunlap, in the 1107th- east corner of the county, and traverses the county in alnost a direct southwest course to Missouri Valley, passing through Harrison, Boyer, Jefferson and St. John Townships, with stations named Dunlap, Woodbine and Logan. From Missouri Valley it runs due south into Pottawatta- mie County on to Council Bluffs. After leaving California Junction the Sioux City and Pacific branch runs northwest through Cincinnati, Taylor, Morgan and Little Sioux Townships, passing from last named into Monona County.
The Milwaukee system passes through Washington Township, from north to
south, with Persia and Yorkshire as sta- tion points.
The mileage of Harrison County rail- roads is as follows :
Chicago & Northwestern line, 30 miles, assessed at $10,300 per mile.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul line, 7 miles.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- ley line, 7 miles.
Sioux City & Pacific line, 31 miles, assessed at $3,500 per mile.
Total mileage in the county, 75.
Whatever may be said against railway management it must be admitted that the railroads have been the great factor in de- velopment in all that portion of the coun- try west of the Ohio River. What were Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska without their great net works of railroads? Before their advent, say back in 1859-60, corn could not be given away scarcely. Much rotted in the crib and some sold at eight cents per bushel. It took two bushels then to purchase one pound of nails. Pork , sold at from one to two cents per pound, and all because of lack of any sort of trans- portation to the far off Eastern markets.
In 1858 the Hon. Isaac Parrish, a man recently from the Twenty-sixth Ohio Dis- trict, which he represented in Congress, settled near where California Junction is now located, and in speaking to early set- tlers in Harrison County, at that date, he remarked that, "it will not be ten years before the cars will be rolling down the Boyer Valley. They will strike, McIntosh Point, go west, cross the Missouri River, and so on to California. Men may come and go from New York to San Francisco in ten days by rail.", Men called him foolish to thus talk, but eleven years passed by-that's all-and passengers journeyed from ocean to ocean in eight days.

HARRISON COUNTY.
POLITICAL.
CHAPTER V.
HE political history of Harrison County would fill a good sized book of itself. The organization of the county took place three years prior to the formation of the Republican party, which laid the first platform of their organiza- tion in 1856. Before that date the two chief political parties were the Democratic and Whig. For a work covering so many subjects, and reviewing so many years' history of each, there can be no better manner in which to present politics of Harrison County, in a general way, than by giving the National, State and County representation, the full list of county offi- cials as disclosed by transcribing from the official election returns for the various years (so far as they are now in existence), also to give the vote on State Governors and Presidents of the United States from 1856 to 1891.
In 1854, when the old courthouse was burned at Magnolia, the earliest election records were destroyed, and the years from that date to 1868 are missing also. It will be remembered that in the early history of all new counties but little care was taken of public records. The present excellent system of poll books, election books, blanks, etc., are of modern origin. Because of illy-kept records it is at this ,
date impossible to compile a complete ab- stract of the votes cast ; but much research and pains have been taken upon the part of the historian to gather up all that can be found from the records in this county. A full list of all county officials who ever served will be found in the subjoined, to- gether with an abstract of elections so far as the books and papers of the county show.
