esota & International, Che town is
again developing a sort of boom.
| "A numberof new buildings have
been erected, and lots are selling
for three times as much as in Fort
Francis, across the river, much
older place and more populous.
The latter town now has about
300 population, and the building
Of the Canadian Northern road has
given it considerable impetus.
The town was so glad to get the
railroad that it gave up 33 feet of
its main river-fronting street. The
enormous waterpoWer that can be
realized from the 20.foot plunge
the Rainy river here takes over
granite walls will certainly not
long be allowed to go unused
after the advent Of the railroad.
1t is certain that pulp mills will
be erected here to use the millions
sofcords Of pulp woods that now
grow in the forests on the Rainy
river and it's tributaries. There
should also be an opening here for.
lumber and -four mills in the near.
future. Moreover, if the Canadian
Rainy rivergold fields ever develop
into anything Of any consequence,
the falls would be good place for.
ore reduction plants. if the new
Antlkokan iron range on the
Canadian Northern should grow
into rival Of the Mesaba or YER
million, Koochiching would be the
point from which American ma
chinery and goods would be- shipped
TO it; at least, during the period
of closed navigation on Lake SUI
perior. In considering the posi-.
Abilities Of the railroad building
now going on in this northern.
country, it must be rememb ered
that with the completion Of the
Minnesota & International and
the Canadian Northern there will
be direct rail connection between
Minneapolis and the north shore
Eof Lake Superior, where are the.
prosperous towns Of Port Arthur
and Fort William, which import
considerable quantities Of Ameri-
can goods.

of course, find wood much cheaper
than coal. The steamboat men

$1.50 for tamarack. That wood is
very cheap, steam fuel at this
rate may be gathered from the.
fact that 90 cords suffice for 800

Although the Canadian farms
have been cultivated to some ex

rarely that farmer has cleared
more than so acres. The expense!
of clearing has, Of course, de-.
tered many from getting more

1.-TWO or three years there will be a
large number of settlers ON the
{ fertile lands on the American side
/ of the river, and that they will de-
I velop their farms much more rap
idly than the Canadians have
theirs. These settlers will produce
large quantities Of wheat and veg

amounts of goods. One little
I storekeeper on the Ontario side
has made $1,000 in the last two
years supplying the farmers around
him. With the completion Of the

Koochiching, which is the name
of the American town at the falls
of the Rainy river opposite Fort

FRIENDS cLEvERLY WON.

The st. Paul Daily News won many
friends recently by a clever stroke Of
newspaper enterprise. The News
learned that under the city charter
the city comptroller could not audit
the pay roll SO that the salaries Of
the school teachers could be paid by
the city before January is. This
would of course deprive the teachers
of the use of the money before Christ
mas and entail unreasonable hard
ship.
Editor Ashbaugh sent a communities
ton to the school board stating that
the Daily News Publishing Co. would
advance the sum necessary to pay the
salaries of the teachers due Decem-
Der Is.
The offer was gladly accepted and
on that date the teachers of st. Paul
went to the Office of the News and had
their salaries advanced to them. AS
the payroll amounts to about $45, 900,
which means a great addition to the
holiday trade, the action of the News
mot only made friends of the teachers,
but of the merchants as we'll.

PROGRESSION.

The following little item from Mis-
|souri paper is well worth reprinting:
when we were publishing paper
in Mt. Vernon, H., in 1872, on the Sec
ond floor, store opened in the room
under our Office. The senior proprie-
tor came up stairs and contracted for
three columns of space for twelve
months, with locals and $500 dodgers
each week. He remarked that it was
a snap to get into a town where other
business men did not advertise. The
firm started out on borrowed capital.
In three years it had money enough
to start two stores, one in Sedalia and
one in st. Louis. 1t dissolved partner
ship and each partner took field to
himself. Byron Nugent was the part
ner who made the contract, and is
now the senior member of B. Nugent
& Brother, the great ST. Louis house.
He not only owns his store, building
and grounds, but has erected nice
little cottage home that cost him SS7,-
600. We must say that some of the
cid mossbacks who were in business
in Mt. Vernon before Byron Nugent
ever saw the place, and who never ad-
|vertised, are still in business and
grumbling about dull trade and hard
times"

cow CRITTERS

Joseph B. Gossage, formerly resi-.
dent OF Ottumwa, where he has many
warm friends, but now of Rapids City
South Dakota, where he publishes the
Rapids City Daily Journal, in a re.
cent enditorial concerning COW "crit.
ters," says:
When it comes to Cow critters"
Sioux City is in the front rank. Of
American cities. With COW to every
twenty-seven inhabitants, according
to the last census, it stands fifth, Pc
oria, Terre Haute, Denver and Kansas
City only outclassing it, Peoria leads
the list by a very wide margin. 1t
has a COW for every four Inhabitants,
but this is due to its distillery feed
yards, where thousands of cattle are
fattened every year. The same thing
Is true of Terre Haute, with one COW
for every eight inhabitants. Aesthet.
lie Boston doesn't take kindly to the
Cow critters" 1t only has 495 cows
nxall its domain, one for every 1,135
people. Baltimore is next to the bot.
tom, with one for every 1877 people,
but Boston has safe margin and will
,old its place.

NJ. .
1T. Dodge, Dec. pa. L. Wood, ed
itor of the Saturday Advertiser and
formerly state senator from Madison
county, has been arrested by
Sheriff Roy, Of Madison county, and
taken; to Des Moines and sentenced
to serve a term of two and .one-halt
years in the penitentiary.4 The arrest
was the result of decision by the
supreme court, which was the culmi-
nation of a case which has been pend
ing ever since 1898, at which time
Wood was postmaster at Winterset.
He was then. tried on charge of pros
titntion., This case was dismissed by
the3eounty attorney, but some of the
evidence! given by Wood during the
progress of the, trial was impeached
and he was convicted on a charge OF
perjury. This trial occurred in No
vember of 1898, the case was appealed
to the supreme court, and the decision
just rendered sustained Woods SEN
tence to a term in the penitentiary.
Wood has been a prominent Inquire
in state politics in recent years. In
1895 and in several years following he
represented Madison county in the
legislature For several years he was
the editor OF large and influential
paper at Winterset and was postmast-
er of the place where the suit was
brought against him.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Ursula White Speed, who died
at her home near Dudley, December
"a, was born at Macarthur, o., Decem-
Der z, 1921. She grew to young wo-
manhood in her native village, and in
that place, on November "a, 1870, she
was united in marriage to CORTLAND
Gibbs. Six children were born of this
union, four OF whom are still living.
One died in infancy and daughter,
Mrs Augusta Stevens passed away
two months ago. The others are Mrs.
Sophia Noe, and George Gibbs, OF Ore,
gon, Mrs. Alice Knox, of Sandyville
Iowa, and Mrs. j. w. Gardner, of OF
tumwa. CORTLAND Gibbs died in May,
1858, and in the fall Of 1861 Mrs. Gibbs
was married to Isaac Speed, who is
now left to mourn the departure of a
kind and loving wife. No children
We're born of the second union.
Mrs. Speed united with the United
Brethren church previous to coming
to Iowa, and on coming to this state
she affiliated with the Protestant
Methodist church. She possessed great

Long ago this fact was recognized,
and the parole system, reformatories

adopted in some of the states as pre-

THANKS DUE MAJOR LACEY.

Thru the efforts of Congressman
John F. Lacey the rural route cases in
Wapello county were made special"
and as a result four new rural routes
will be established in this county on
Wednesday, January 2. Two of these
routes run from Ottumwa and two
from Agency. The people served by
these routes will not fail to appre.
sciate the efforts made by Major Lacey
in their behalf. This completes all
the cases for which petitions have
gone In to the department from this
county. No routes are established I'M
less they are first petitioned for by
those who desire the service. Several
other petitions for routes in Wapello
county are now being circulated, and
when completed and sent in will I'M
doubtedly be taken up at the earliest
possible moment.

HALF CENTS WANTED.

| Competition in business matters has
reached that point where merchants
are asking that coin of the denomi-
nation of half cent be coined The
reason given is that merchandise is
sold on so close a margin that the loss
| of half cent is counted as serious
matter with the volume of trade. The
time was that this attention to detail
would have been scoffed at, but the
following from the Bankers Magazine
breaches good sense and clearly
shows that the innovation would be &C
ceptable, and doubtless has reached
point where it is necessary:
The coinage of the half cent is being
demanded from numerous quarters. In
the early history of the country this
coin did not seem to be needed. Bust
ness had not reached the degree of
division and specialization that rem
dered it useful. In all new countries
where resources have to be developed
there is disregard for detail and Of
small things. AS civilization progress
es and population increases the trad
ing and everyday business are done on
| finer lines.
Convenient small coins for use in
small transactions conduce to econ
omy and savings. In California in pio-
Ineer days there were no coins less
| than dime. All transactions in which
the change could not be made exactly,
less than dime caused a loss to one
side and a gain to the other. For a
long time California affected to de-
spise nickles, but the advantage Of
making closer and juster change grad
ually recommended itself, and now
EVENT. copper cent is gaining ground
| in that state of great resources and
large ideas.
The demand for the half cent comes
from those sections. of the country
where the struggle for existence is be-
coming more difficult and where the
Subdivisions of business and competi-
ton in prices cause the loss of even a
half cent in making change to be a
serious matter. There are many
things sold for cent which would be
sold for half cent if such coin exist
led. The dollars would probably take
care of themselves better il the half
cent were in existence to be taken
care of than they are now, when the
lcent is the last coin that can be look
led after.
h To add the half cent to our coins
would increase the profits of small
dealers and the possible economies to
that class of people who are obliged
to make small purchases. AS it is
now, either the seller or purchaser in
these small dealings, which by their
number are of great importance, loses
or gains.
