persons of school age. The average attendance is forty-six. The average cost of tuition per pupil per month, is $1.52.
Allen township was named after Captain Allen, who commanded the troops at Fort Des Moines from 1843 to 1846. Captain Allen began the erection of the saw-mill two miles east of Carlisle, in 1843, and afterwards secured the assistance of J. D. Parmelee. This is another township in the "strip," settled while this part of the country was yet in the possession of the Indians. At an early date, there was a large amount of excellent timber in Allen township, and no richer land is to be found anywhere. It was first settled by an excellent class of peo- ple, many of whom had considerable means and were able to own large tracts of land and to make good improvements in an early day. There are two railroads in this township, the C. R. I. & P., running through the township north and south, and the Des Moines and Knoxville branch of the C. B. & Q. system, running through the eastern portion of the township, giving the people excellent railroad facilities. Carlisle is the only station on the C. R. I. & P., and Clarkson is the only station on the C. B. & Q. A large part of the eastern part of the township is bottom land, some of which occasionally overflows. William Runciman, John Wood, William Vance and William and Andrew Hastie were among the early settlers.
William Runciman represented Warren county in the Fifteenth General Assembly. In an early day a community of Scotch people settled in the western part of the township, which has added very much to the development of the county. They are an industrions, intelligent and prosperous class of people. The neighborhood is known as Scotch Ridge. There is not a rural community in the county that has exerted a more beneficial influence than Scotch Ridge.
CARLISLE.
Carlisle was laid out in 1851 by Jerry Church and Daniel Moore. Mr. Church had laid out a town about two miles northeast of Carlisle, in Polk county, and when the floods of 1851 came (for that year was noted for floods) Mr. Church found his town under water, and moved to the present site of Carlisle. Abraham Shoemaker was the first merchant in Carlisle. Albert Petrie was the first child born. Robert Nicholson was the first mayor. William Buxton's name is connected with the early history of Carlisle, and the first flouring mill was erected through his efforts. The first schoolhouse was built in 1858. Carlisle was incorporated in May. 1870. The following are the present city officers : B. B. Adkins, mayor; R. R. Wright, assessor ; H. S. Owens, recorder ; J. E. DeFord, treasurer; B. F. Sanders, Wesley Patterson, Engene Keeney. W. R. Owens and J. F. Sanders, councilmen. E. J. Chambers, marshal and street commissioner.

SCOTCH RIDGE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
This church is one of the most flourishing and efficient churches in this part of the state of Iowa. It is seldom that an entire neighborhood is brought so completely under the influence of one church as in this case. The community is made up of enterprising farmers, who are loyal to their church and to every other publie interest. It is seldom that a country church can sustain a minister for so many years consecutively, as this church has done; and maintain a Sunday school and other church societies. The history of this church is a volume of praise, both to the church and to the faithful ministers who have served the church. After fifty-five years of active organized life, this church still abounds in zeal and good works; but few of the first generation remain, but the work goes on with increasing vigor and usefulness.
Scotch Ridge United Presbyterian church was organized August 3, 1853, with sixteen members as follows: Elders, Win. Vance, J. MeElroy. Andrew Hastie; Win. Runciman, Elizabeth Runciman, Win.

The following is condensed from the County Superintendent's Report of the Public Schools of Belmont township for the year ending July 1, 1907 :
Belmont township has eight independent rural school districts with a school building in each district, total value. $5,095. An average of seven and a half months of school was taught in the districts. There were three male teachers employed at an average compensation of $35.50 per month and fifteen female teachers employed at an average compensation of $30.00 per month. There were three hundred and twelve persons of school age in the districts and an average attendance of one hundred and forty. The average cost of tuition per month for each pupil, $1.72.
MILO GRADED SCHOOL.
Milo has one school building of five rooms valued at $10,000. School was maintained nine months of the year. One male teacher was employed at a compensation of $85.00 per month and five female teachers at an average compen- sation of $43.50 per month. There were one hundred and eighty-three persons of school age in the district and an average attendance of one hundred and fifty- eight. Cost of tuition per month for each pupil, $1.91.
Although Belmont township is one of the very best agricultural townships in the county, it was not settled as early as some others. Indeed, it has been difficult to ascertain, who were the first white settlers in the township. James Ball is said to be one of the first ; yet, he did not come into the township until the early "fifties." After settlements began in Belmont, the population increased rapidly. Many of the early settlers, perhaps a majority of them, were from Belmont county, Ohio. From this circumstance the township took its name. From the first, the people of Belmont township have been noted for their religious zeal and enterprise. It contains more churches than any other town- ship in the county outside of Indianola. Owing to changes that have taken place. some of the early churches have been abandoned, and others removed. The inhabitants of this township continue to take a deep interest in both churches and schools. The characteristics of the first settlers of a township usually remain and are transmitted for an indefinite period. The glow of religious fervor in Belmont township is perhaps as great today as it was forty years ago. The liberality of the people exhibited in the erection of churches and maintaining societies has been marvelons indeed. Their Christian liberality has by no means hindered their secular prosperity, for Belmont township is one of the most prosperous in the county. There is no coal mining in the township worthy of note, and no manufacturing. The people rely wholly upon agricultural pursuits. There is but one railroad in the township, the Indianola and Chariton Branch of the C. B. & Q. System ; and this road passes along the western side of the town- ship. The wagon roads in this township are better than in most of the other

townships of the county; owing to the fact, that there are no large streams, the smaller streams being easily bridged. There is very little timber, but the land lays unusually well.
From the best information obtainable. Daniel and Francis Monroe were the first settlers in Behnont township. Joseph Wilson, John Dunean, Morris Thompson, and a Mr. Chapin were among the first settlers, and took part in the early organization of the township, they having come from Behnont county, Ohio. Joseph Alexander and Jackson Allen were also early settlers. The first school was taught in Belmont schoolhouse at Hickory grove.
MILO.
Milo was laid out in 1878 by S. H. Mallory, who built the railway from Indianola to Chariton. When the railway was transferred to the C. B. & Q. Co., Mr. Mallory retained Milo. It is one of the most beautiful, attractive and pros- perous villages in the county. At the last census, in 1905, Milo had a population of five hundred and sixty-seven. It is the only towu in Belmont township. It absorbed the town of Hammondsburg in Otter township, and Schonburg in Belmont. Its business, schools, churches and newspapers are well sustained.
