Ladoga is a comparatively young town. Sixty-six years ago John | Myers came to Ladoga, a place at ; that time unknown. Mr. Myers so ; liked the place that he resolved to I make it the site of a town. In the I selection of a name he stated that ' he did not want any "burg” or [ "ville” attached to it. After much parleying he decided Jo name it after Lake Ladoga in Russia. In 1831 he began, with the assistance of Benjamin White to build the "Old Water Mills.” The work of building the race and dam was carried on by Smith. The dam was located about fifty yards above where the old wooden dam Is now. a few of the timbers still remain to give testimony that such a dam existed. In 1832 John Myers, assisted by Benjamin White, built a saw mill just east of the hill where the old race goes under the bridge now. In this, the first mill in Ladoga, the timbers for the floor and siding of the old mill were sawed. In 1848 Jacob Harshbarger bought the mill. Two months later John and Joel j Brits bought it but sold it to Caleb Anderson in 1849. Mr. Anderson moved the saw mill up in the east part of what is now Ladoga. After retaining possesion of the water mill for three years he sold It to James Daugherty In 1852. James Daugherty sold almost immediately to Andy and Joe Daugherty. In 18C0 Smith and Bateman bought It. A year later Bateman died and through an administrators sale, Joseph and Taylor Rice came -in possession in 1889. Later Taylor sold to Joseph. In 1898 James Britts came in possession of the mills and conducted it two years when the dam broke. After this he decided to cease operations. Ever since then the old mill stones have been silent. It is a permanently settled fact that if the old mill had not have been bull there would have been no such place as Ladoga. The first lots ever laid out and sold in Ladoga were where the present Wm. Nicholson and Harshbarger property is. The town has now stood the outsets of everything

Special Interest has been aroused In the depository law, soon to bo put j in force through detailed Instructions given the Bankers’ association, J recently in session, and points that at first seemed difficult to understand, have been made clear to those who have given the matter close study. This law requires not only State, County, City and Township treasurers to account for Interest on public funds, but of the State Board of medical examiners, boards of pha*macies, the several boards of trustees of hospitals for the Insane, State schools for deaf, blipd, feeble minded, soldiers’ home, state prisons, r-e formatory, boys’ and girls’ school#, women's prison, village for epileptics tuberculosis hospital, soldiers' and sailors' monument—completely covering every board or person recelvng public money in any way. The framing of this important bill in a manner to secure its passage was the work almost exclusively of senator John W. Parks, of Plymouth and Senator E. E. Moore of Con-ner-ville. When the Legislature met •her* were a number of depository bills presented to the committee, but none was satisfactory and the committee could not agree to report any one of them. It looked as though we would not get a depository law at
all.
In the same class with the twoent fare law comes the depository law, which will not go Into effect, however, until the first of next De- * ember. Experts figure that this law will save the people of Indiana $250,000 annually. This $250,000 has heretofore either gone Into the pockets of office holders or has been lost entirely because public money has laid Idle. Usually it went to the various treasurers. After December 1, 1907, all treasurers of State, County, Township or City will be compelled to deposit every day the money in their hands, anil banks must pay interest on that money at the rate of two per cent on the average daily balances; two and f a half per cent of the semi-annual time deposits and three per cent on annual time deposits.
