AT large and respectable meeting Of
the citizens Of Henry county, Iowa, held
at Wilson's Mill, in said county, on Sat-
urday. the l7lh day of October, 1916, for
the purpose of discussing the navigation
of Skunk River
On motion. BAILEY WILLEFoRD, Esq,
was called to the Chair; and L. Killpat-
rick, appointed Secretary.
On motion, The following gentlemen
were appointed a committee to draf. Re-
solutions, expressive of the sense of the
meeting. to wi,:-Wm. Thompson. VIM.
H. Lyon, Thomas Smith, VIM. Wilson,
and A. Lolspech.
After shor, time, said committee re-
ported the following resolutions, which
were nearly unanimously adopted. to-wit:
l. Resolved. That in the opinion of
this meeting, Skunk River is stream
eminenlly calculated for permanen, Slack
wafer Navigation.
Q. That at the same time, we deem
the privilege of improving said River as
invaluable and not to be given up on any
consideration; we also deem the privilege
of using said stream for propelling ma.
chinery, as equally indispensable.
8. That we deem it entirely practical
BILE for 1.-THE owners of Mills and Machine.
ry, to retain their privileges on said River;
| and at the same time, that the said River
be so improved as 10 make it permanent
ly navigable.
4. That we deem it impracticable foI
the present mill owners to put in per m a.
| nenl Locks and that if it were done with
out other Improvements, The permanen
navigation of said river would be but lit
lie improved.
5. Tha, in order TO effect anything per
manent and useful, the Intervention OF th'
State Legislature must be called into re-
QUESTION.
6. That we deem it possible that al
appropriation in land may be obtained
from Congress for the improvement 0
said river.
7. And that our representatives IN TIT
Iowa Legislature be requested TO procure
memorial from said Legislature to Con
gress for that purpose, and IN the even
that should fail, to use their influence ir
procuring said improvement by The state
8. That as this improvement cannot bt
effe c,ed Immediately, il is the imperative
duty of all mill owners to put IN lheI
dams such slopes as will enable person:
TO pass down said river in fiat boats a.
soon as practicable.
9. That we earnestly recommend II
the citizens of other counties through
which said river runs to take active mea
sures TO procure the improvement OF SAT-
river.
On motion, il was resolved that III,
publishers of the "Hawk-Eye" and ga
zeue" be respectfully requested to pub
lish the foregoing in their respective pa
pers.

steam. The model was one horse power,
but the principle can be extended to Il
thousand with like happy result. The
experiment was successful beyond
doubt. A few years only must elapse
before instead of saying steamboat" we
must repeat "elec,ro boat" or magnetic
boat" Strange sounds, but we will soon
become acquainted with them. Who

comfort which will inurs TO travel, and
what is of far more consequence, the

required: and this will be an immense
saving Of money. and allow room for

exploded system, and those deprived Of
employment, by the new motive power

for from the fac. that DR. Page cannot

How Il Factory Hurts the Farmer.

How Il Factory Hurts the Farmer.
The free trade friends OF the farmer are
ever telling how much he would be i'm
proved were the factories stopped and he
allowed to buy where he can buy the
cheapest. We have al last some figures
to present upon this subject which are of
interest. They relate to Duchess county,
county that since 1914 has had within
its limits "faciory." that grevous thing
for farmer. The facts we obtain from
Hunts Magazine, but The arrangement is
our own.
First, let us see the effect Of factories
at Fishkill IN reducing the fares Of the

creek, in 1910, employed three hundred
persons. who consumed the produce OF
the farmers, and paid in taxes, from 1928
to 1914. Sixteen years,) $4,000 Is, or
an average of $1,000 per year, or the
amount paid by thirty five farms of 100
acres, which $4,000 is JUS. SO much mo-
ney given to the support of the town.
without taking any thing from the means

duce of other domestic industry out of the
county $l20,376, or $l95,060 IS, worth
of agricultural products or manufactured
articles, that in their production gave sup
port to agriculture in other parts of the
country. Now we should like TO have a
free trader tell US. how much more the
farmers would have got for this $74.-

better off the farmers would have been,
had the company not paid tax equal to
that levied on thirty five farms Of one hun

factory among them. we will give them
another instance.-N Y. Express

of the American people! Since, then, mo-
ney must and will be made, in the supply
of these wants, is. it not better that it
should be made at home, be realized a.
home, and remain at home, as part of
the working capital of the country, that
the laboring poor may have chance to
get rich by it! They who think they
are breaking down American aristocracy,
which, if there be such thing. is always
under control of American legislation, do
not imagine that, by the same act, and
with American labor, they are building
up foreign aristocracies, supporting for
eign princes, and adding fresh glitter TO
the pomp OF kings and more lasting Sc
curity to their thrones.
Religious Mteligence.--Rev. Doctor
Baird, than whom no American has. Of
late, had more free access TO the 'grea,
ones of Europe, says in recent letter:
1.-The times are omlnous OF great evil
in Germany. A storm is gathering which
will sweep over that country. There is
need. therefore, that all that can be done
should be, to scatter the seeds of truth;
for IL alone can save from the horrors of
bloody revolution. Indeed, think all
Continental Europe is going to be shaken
to its very centre before many years pass
away; but cannot give you my reasons
for believing so.
