Garden City and Radcliffe clash over town growth
In 1902 the new town Garden City rose near the Des Moines to Iowa Falls road, provoking a battle with Radcliffe over land and business sites. Radcliffe resisted a proposed route, shifted the line east, and then bought prime blocks to deter Garden City's growth. A farmer sold horses for 365 dollars as local prices rose amid shifting town fortunes. The Industrial School band traveled to Sioux City for Elk’s carnival, then to the Y M C A, with plans to stay through next Sunday.

Federal listings outnumber states in many cities say senator
Senator Homer Ferguson cites telephone directories to show the federal footprint grows larger than state listings in Bangor Maine Detroit area and other towns. He notes 45 federal versus 17 state listings in Bangor and 214 federal versus 119 Michigan listings in Detroit plus 30 federal and 17 state listings in Detroit suburbs. He contrasts this with a defense era view of leadership praising Eisenhower’s calm confidence and honesty over eight years of Truman era.
