Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-10-22
Oct. ID. Sept. II.

Americans are in the midst of mar
velous era. Several hundred million dol
lars have been added to the value of
American products in the last ninety
days. The magic of Aladdin is tame by
the side of the sober truth of modern
trade. The widest dreams of the apos-
ties of fiatism pale into insignificance in
comparison with the simple fact of to-
day. Nature is making money for
Americans faster than any printing
press could do it. The rise in the prices
of the products of American farms
means the beginning of a prosperity that
needs only the success of the honest dol
lar at the November election to guaran-
tee it's permanence
Most of the chief farm products share
in the advanced prices. Most of these
commodities are being exported in enor-
nous quantities, and in exchange Amer
lea will get European gold. No one can
say truly how much has been added to
the wealth of Americans by the rise, but
a few figures will give the reader an ink
ling of the mighty force at work for
American veal. Corn has risen cents
bushel, wheat Ia cents and pats
cents. Competent grain men estimate
that those advances have added TO the
value of the holdings in this country on
the three cereals alone the following
enormous sums:
Corn $3.50. 500 ,O00, 900
wheat. -. ............ ........ 5O,OOO,O0O

TRAINING TRACK AT AIKEN, n. C.

A Fine Track VIII Be Built for Messrs.
j. II: and Thomas Hitchcock.
Mr.. W. D. HowelIs, civil engineer, of
this city, will leave for Aiken, N. c., this
afternoon TO lay out hree-quarter-mile
training track on the farm of Messrs. j. L.
and Thomas Hitchcock, the owners of the
Broad Hollow Stables.
This track will not only be used by the
Hitchcoxs, but it is understood that W. P.
Burch and several other wel.-snown New
York horsemen will take their strings
there for the balance of the winter.
Mr.. Howell refused to talk of the matter
when he was seen yesterday, but it is
understood that the track will be fitted out
in the finest kind of shape. The stabling
accommodations will be the best that the
builders art can devise, and the track
itself is 10 be made very fast one.
Mr.. Hitchcock is an enthusiastic member
of the hunting set of this city, and it Is
understood that he intends to make his
place at Aiken as attractive for the menu
bers of the different hunt clubs i'll this
section OF the country as possible.

old clock that ticks, ticks, ticks, without
difference to the eight-liour law, stretched
10th its hands In tue direction of heaven
and pointed to the hour OF i2.
Col Carter was turping the pages OF

the phone and put wad of tobacco in
