Odd snow plow debuts at Northwest depot and unites Burdick family
An unusual snow plow with a 10 foot square front and powerful auger attracts crowds as it clears drifted snow at seven miles per hour and can fling snow 200 feet. The device, built in Patterson New Jersey for a Canadian road at 27000 dollars, operates on the Lake City branch. The tale of Eli and Leroy Burdick of Boone reveals their father Edmund Burdick’s reunion with his son after years apart, once living under the name Cheesbro. The Fairfield Ledger highlights high school book costs for poor families and urges free text books per Superintendent Akers. Also mentions Ames firemen and a look at Our Little Ones and The Nursery January edition.
