Talmage says "A newspaper whose
columns overflow with the advertise
ments of the business men has more
influence in attracting attention to
building up town than any other
agency that can be employed. Peo-
pie go where there is business. Cap
ital and labor go where there is an
nterpri sing community. No power
on earth is so strong to build up a
town as a newspaper well patronized,
and its power should be appreciated. !"
Eau Claire desired TO purchase the
waterworks plant of that city, the
people believing municipal ownership
would give them cheaper and better
service. A board of arbitrators was
appointed to determine what value
should be placed upon the property
and after investigation they consider
ed $272,000 was the amount the city
should pay. The city authorities say
this is $4,000 too much and they will
not buy at the arbitrators' figures.

giving sstatement Of the experiment
concludes by saying; "But we are

as the factory is located go sar from
the farmers that they cannot deliver
their bee.s by teams, but are at the

say: that Germany has been para

bound of the foreign trade of the

merchants have come to the con-
clusion that this prosperity is at
tributable entirely to the United
States tariff laws, and arguing that
q similar policy could not fail to
benfit Germany, they propose a
revision of their tariff on the line
of a general and heavy increase of
duties, especially upon imports
from the United States.
