KEOKUK: Ia, Feb. 3.-Orion Clem-
ems, brother of Mark Twain, has re-
ceived letter from the noted humor-
ist, who is temporarily sojourning in
London, written in most cheerful and
encouraging style. The letter being
largely of "a personal nature, Clemens
refuses to make it public, but says his
brother does not even hint at anything
like the desperate straits and deep
financial embarrassment mentioned in
recent cablegrams from the English
capital. On the contrary, Mark Twain
wrote hopefully of the future and of
his family affairs.

OUR ADVANTAGES.

The contest between cotton manu-.
facture in the South and in New Eng
land is very interesting one. The
South has an advantage in nearness to
source of supply and cheaper labor
advantages which have recently made
themselves sfelt.-Oregonian.
This very item of nearness to source
of supply will some day prove to be an
advantage to the wooden manu-
facturers on the Pacific over those in
the Atlantic states, and in no place
will it be more fully felt than in The
Dalles, whenever it shall turn its at
tention to manufacturing WOODEN
| goods. Here we are located almost at
the very door yard of the supply. The
| wool raisers of the surrounding coun-
try for hundreds of miles in every
direction bring their product to our
warehouses for shipment. 1t must be
brought here before it can be offered
for sale to the eastern factories, hence
the factories here would get their raw
material without any cost for freights,
an advantage that would be greatly in
their favor. And in addition to this
they would also be at the door of the
consumers.
As to the difference in the price of
labor here and on the Atlantic coast it
is SO slight that it would be overcome in
the saving of freights, and it is only
question of few years when wages
sall over the country will be equalized,
for wherever there is labor to perform,
,laborers will come who are ready to
Npt situations at the salaries obtain
