A Good Thing to Remember.

The effort of any newspaper to build
up town is practically nullified
unless it is backed up by the business
men of the town. A stranger turns
from the news columns of paper to
its advertising columns, and if he fails
to find there the business cards OF the
merchants and professional firms, he
comes to the conclusion that the editor
is not appreciated, in which case it is a
good place to keep clear from. No
town ever grew without the active
assistance of it's papers. Nor can
papers grow and build up their locai-
ties without the assistance of the
town. Business men should realize
this and remember that in lending
support to their local paper, they are
not only building up their own busi-
ness, but are helping to support that
which is steadily working for the
growth of the whole town.

A Liberal Gift for the U. |. u.

The announcement has been made
public that Hon. VIM. Larrabee, of
Clermont, has made liberal donation
of $26, 600 TO Upper Iowa University
and the people of Fayette are greatly
elated over the good news. Like the
recent Andrew Carnegie gift of S25,00O
this donation is made without any con-
ditional clauses and the money is now
in the hands of the university authori-
ties. With the gift Mr.. Larrabee sug-
gests that $2l, 900 be added to the gem
eral endowment fund and that S., 900
shall be used in the purchase of books
for the college library. 1t is quite
probable that the authorities will fol-
low Gov. Larrabee's suggestion in the
appropriation of the $4,000.
This magnificent gift coming as it
does at this time speaks well for the
administration of Hon. S. B. Zeigler,
the recently elected president of the
board of trustees and for President Guy
P. Benton. Since September l, 1900,
$40 500 have been added to the perma-
nent value fund of the university. The
special gift of$25, 900 from Mr.. Carnegie
is to beexpended in the erection of the
ID. b. Henderson library building.

More Anent Electric Railroad.

The following from prominent SUBJ
scriber at Frankville shows the feeling
of the people of that section concerning
the proposed electric railroad to Lam
sing:
"We would think it wise move for
the operators of the proposed electric
line between Waukon and Decorah to
come and look over the territory in and
around Frankville. AS paying point
in the line of freight there is not Sec
tion of country six miles square that
can compare with this section, and as
for freight both in and out, its revenue
would be large, and although we have
not the authority we believe that if
said proposed line were to come by the
way of Frankville the company would
be granted the right of way by good
many of the land owners. We solicit
your inspection before you decide upon
your route"
