Return Of Judge Cotton

Last evening, Hon. A. r. Cotton,
the representative In Congress from
this District returned to his home in
Lyons after an absence OF more than
six months, and was heartily welcom-
ed by his numerous friends.
Probably no man in Congress hes
shown more indefatigable attention to
business, or has been more regardful
Of the interests Of his constituents,
than Judge Cotton. Always at his
post, it is no matter of surprise that he
has obtained an enviable reputation
and stands out prominently as one of
Iowa's most valuable members of the
National Legislature.
This county has cause to be thankful
that, at this particular period, Judge
Cotton has u seat at Washington.
When the new bridge shall span our
river, making the Clinton-Lyons
locality the finest point OF railroad
concentration In Iowa. the efforts of
Mr.. Cotton in the House and Mr..
Harlan in the Senate will be rec0g-
nized even more strongly than they
are at present-and, in this recogni-
tion, the counties of Cedar, Jones and
Jackson. will heartily join. as all are
destined to be immensely benefited

The whole area Of Maine Is about
1000 miles, of which the great
primeval northern forest contains
about 20, 600 square miles. It Is largely
composed of tall pines. There are
about 1,S0O lakes in the state, covering
nearly 5000 square miles. Nearly all
these lakes lie at the head Of the riv-
ers which run to the sea, and their
great altitude gives to their descending
waters an immense power. Rsngely
lake il 500 feet. aud Lakes Umbagog
and Moosshead ara each over 1000 feet
above the level Of the sea, aud the
whole surface Of the state is, on an
average, 900 feet In elevation, SO that
the water Of all the lakes and rivers
must fall that distance.
