Pheasants Multiply in Local Walton League Efforts
Walter Reed, longtime president of the Isaac Walton League, reports pheasants released from Clive state stock are thriving on local farms. Birds now frequent open areas and crow before showers, then hide in corn and grain later. The effort is deemed worthwhile as habitat improves, with incidents of sightings becoming more common. Also notes on Mrs. Harry Horn’s improvement after illness and visits among local families.

Lost a Load of Wood Early Experience of Two Country Boys
In pioneer days two Tama county boys, Harvey and Lansing, hauled a winter surplus of wood from a riverbank timber. A diversion by Harvey caused the wagon to tip as the horses balked, sending the loaded wagon and wood into the river while the brothers clung to safety. They returned home with a patched tale for their father.

River of Oil Threatens Lews River Waters
Ongoing complaints about upstream pollution turn Lews River into a river of oil after heavy rains. Farmers report livestock avoid the oily water, fish flesh tastes of oil, and oil bands line banks. An eye witness says a match could set the center ribbon of liquid aflame. The oil-coated pool above the brush dam near Tama’s Indian reservation drew State Board of Health attention for potential action.
