No Tinc Iike Now.

The new lines of railroad now in pro-
cess of construction by the Chicago 6.
Northwestern Railway Company are at
present affording opportunities to get in
and grow up with a country that is
sure to grow, that are not likely TO oc-
cur again.
The new lines penetrate the richest
regions in western Iowa and Minnesota,
where there was ample room for a rail-
road. The towns along these new lines,
located and managed by the railway
company, are today offering rare
chances for investments or locations.
The country is rich and the towns will
surely thrive.
Prices of lots are still low. Investors
and business men of all classes will
find it TO their advantage to investi-
gate.
The choice timber lands of northern
Wisconsin and Michigan are also we'll
worth looking into. Apply for particu-

THE ADVANCE IN PRINTING.
Publishers never tire in marveling
over and sounding the praises of the
type-setting machine and the distinct
advance it has made in the production
of newspapers and books. When it
first appeared, because it was able to
do the work of four or five printers, the
more conservative of the craft feared
1t might be blow at labor, and some
of the reckless class, d-timers who
could not hope to hold to positions al
ways, denounced it in bitter terms. Yet

list of standard high-class publications

the volume of printing and to the print

did not justify the cost of hand COM
position. Although each machine gives
an output equal to that of from four to
Ave hand competitors, there has been
such an increase in the volume of
print that there are today more COM
Ipositors employed than formerly.
Thus is another theory exploded and
another fear proving to be groundless.
In time it will doubtless be more thor
oughly demonstrated. The use of the
machine calls for a better and more
skillful class of printers.
Another phase is shown by this re-

A contract has been made by Chi

of the post and board fence where it

Latimer, Nov. 17.-Out on this (for-
merly Belmond, now Algona), branch
business is booming. Many new resi-
dences are being finished here and a
new hotel is talked of for erection in
the spring. Railroad men say at this
writing there are only seven miles be-
tween Algona and Hampton but what
has been covered with gravel and itnow
is smoother to ride over than some
parts of the main line. Three trains
carrying passengers are run each way
every day. AS an Illustration of the
possible new business on this branch 1t
is reported that 100 carloads OF -four
will be carried over this new road dur
Ing the next month.
AS Conductor Chapman went through
his train last Saturday night after
leaving Marshalltown he met a young
man standing near the back door who
claimed he had given him his ticket for
Oskaloosa. Chapman waited until after
leaving the next station and then found
the young man with an Oskaloosa
check in his hat. But he found another
man that he remembered as having
ticket for Oskaloosa without check.
When asked for it didn't know any
thing about it, all he knew was that he
gave Chapman ticket for Oskaloosa."
Then Chapman checked up and found
he had only three tickets for Oskaloosa
and four men claimed to have had
tickets. Soon we heard this railroad
lecturer. His remarks We're addressed

ROAD RACES FOR THE WHEELMEN.

A special meeting of the Associated
Cycling Clubs will be held next Monday
evening, the 1Sth at room SIT Parrot
building, for the purpose of selecting
dates for the running Of three big events
which the association now has on the
tapis. They are the annual twenty-mile
road race, annual ten-mile handicap and
the new fifty-mile track relay race. The
twenty-mile was scheduled for to-mor-
row, but had to be postponed as the San
Leandro triangle. over which II Is usu-
ally run, Is all torn up. The ten-mile is
due early in October and the fifty-mile
will probably be sandwiched In between
the two.
The team which is TO represent the

MORE STAKES FOR THE
SPEEDY GREYHOUNDS
Ingleside Coursing Park Management Pre-
pares to Run an Extra Day Each Week.

With the shortening days the promot-
ers of coursng find they must reduce the
number of entries in their stakes in or
der to run through their card at a reason
able hour. The Ingleside management has
under consideration the running of a mid
week stake every Thursday. It will be
limited to second-class dogs, leaving the
open stake for the crack performers The
action instituted by the Ingleside Cours-
ing Association against Chief of Police
Lees to enjoin him from interfering with
coursfng at Ingleside has been submitted
on briefs to Judge Murasky. A decision
is expected next week.
Recording Angel, the phenomenal ten
months-old greyhound, will not be seen
in competition for some months. She will
be allowed to fill out and develop and will
MIA stock. She was the youngest of those
entered in the Produce stake and worked
her way into fourth place, being beaten
by the flying Clairs. The latter had the
advantage in age.
Daisy Clair IS in the stake at Ingleside
this week, and her work will be watched
with interest In this instance she will
be called upon to give away age.
Plough Boy proved a surprise at Union
Park last week. p. J. Reilly, his owner,
gave him an impromptu trial with a
young dog some days before. He was
not satisfied with his work and advised
his friends not to back him. He ran well
in the stake, and with additional train

E. Schober. The Gadder has been greatly
changed and has received a new suit of
sails. She should reach Sausalito to-
morrow. No crew has yet been decided
on for her. but it is considered probable

the San Francisco Yacht Club can find

The victory of the Aeolus in the thirty.
foot class at the fourth annual regatta of
the Pacific lnterclub Yacht Association
showed the great Importance OF crossing
the line soon after the signal when TO
start is by one gun. The Amigo actually
beat the Aeolus on the first leg to wind
ward, but having lost fifty seconds at the
start rounded the windward buoy thirty
seconds afterher. AT the leeward stakeboat
she was minutes 50 seconds and at Metggs
wharf minutes 10 seconds behind the
Aeolus. On the second beat out she
gained l minute 80 seconds and finished
only minutes 40 seconds actual time
behind the winner. The mishap to the
Truant was directly attributable to late
ness at the start, for had she crossed the
line in her own class she would not have
been mixed up with the thirty y-six-footers,
which caused her early retirement.
The Presto lost on every leg of the
course. being minutes Il seconds astern
of the AeoluS on the first beat out, min
utes q seconds at the leeward stakeboat,
10 minutes 10 seconds at Meiggs wharf
II minutes 45 seconds in the second beat
out and 13 minutes 81 seconds at the finish.
Part Cf her loss between the WindWard
and leeward stakeboats was due TO the
rescue of II. A. Hurndall, who had slipped
off the Merope. Even if the whole loss
of the Presto up to the leeward Stakeboat
G minutes "a seconds) is attributed to the
delay, no difference would be made in the
general result.
The San Franciscos have a cruise to
Marin Islands, with chowder and clam
bake on the beach tomorrow, scheduled;
while the Corinthians have a chowder cruise
TO Paradise Cove on their programme for
tonight with a small yacht regatta and
events will be postponed on account Of
