not been neglected as two Of them have
remodolled their buildings, and they now
appear as though entirely new.
The city has tried TO keep up with the pro

Great Opportunities.

The Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern Railway Company is near
ing the completion of it's 140 miles of
new extensions in the very richest
portions of southwestern Minnesota.
The six new towns, Reading, Wilmont,
Lismore, Kenneth, Walters and Con-
ger, are rapidly becoming commercial
centers for the rich and already thick
ly settled country surrounding. There
has been no auction sale of lots or
any attempt to "boom" these towns;
their growth being the result of a de-
nland for convenient markets.
1t is the purpose of the railway
company to encourage the continuous,
substantial growth of the towns on
their lines. In order that each town
may receive the attention of s'ownel-
ship" it has been decided to sell each
town entire, including all unplatted
land to private parties. For terms OF
such purchases, address the under
signed. For business openings or pur
chase of lots address the Town Lot
Agent of the respective town.

Chillicothe, Mo-, Stockman Says
Beef Will Soar.
PRICE MAY REACH TEN DOLLARS
He Says That Fine Bred Cattle Will
Command Highest Prices Since the
Civil War-States Reasons for His
Opinion.

Beef prices are going so high that
there will be more money in good
bunch of blooded cattle than in gold
mine, if the statement of T. +. B. So
than, a prominent stock raiser of Chill
licothe, Mo-, is to be credited. Mr..
Sotham was in Kansas City recently
and gave Journal reporter an inter-
view. Following is the article from
the Journal:
Il will risk my reputation upon the
prediction that first class beef cattle
will sell in the Kansas City market
all of next summer for SO to $40 per
hundred pounds. In my Judgment the
best quality of beef will bring high
er price than it has since the war"
These statement were made by r.
+. i. Sotham, former president of the
American Hereford Breeders Associa-
ton. Mr.. Sotham is one of the best
informed men on all matters relating
to live stock in the country. He has
issued half dozen books dealing with
such subjects, which are accepted by
| live stock breeders and feeders as au-
thoritative. He is himself one of the
leading breeders of Hereford cattle.
His Weavergrace farm, near Chillico.
the, Mo-, is widely known Because of
his position in the cattle breeding and
feeding world, his remarks have a
more than ordinary significance Con.
tinuing, MI. Sotham said:
4 think the prices of fine meat and
purebred cattle will Ne much higher
proportionately than those of ordinary
meat and common scrub cattle; but
all kinds of meat and cattle will bring
much higher prices next spring than
they have for long time.
"Cattle breeders and feeders of all
kinds got scared during the drouth
and rushed their stuff upon the mar
ket. Naturally, the worst cattle were
sold first, and the best held back fol-
better prices. The result was that
many men who usually buy a good
grade of stockers for winter and
spring feeding, purchased low grade
stuff. They could get it so cheap, they
thought they would certainly be able
to make good profit upon it,
II doubt if their expectations will
be realized. The re is enough feed fol
all the cattle in the country; but there
is barely enough, and the price will be
SO high that those who bought chear
cattle will have to sell them high tt
clear any money This will make
room to raise the price of the bes
grade of cattle to an extremely higf
mark. Because so mand feeders hav,
/ chosen to buy cheap cattle to feed THU
: winter, the supply of the best clas
l will be limited, and this Circumstance
will raise the price still further. Mari
: my word--the people who choose t,
: tickle their palates next summer witt
fine sirloins will have to pay a goo,
. price for their delectation''

LABoR's STRONG POINT.
American Worknnen Better Organized
Than Ever Before.

FNUiSTiCdT WoTkr!Icti OcltST STSdTlLeO
Than Ever Before.
The Federation Of Labor today, ac-
ccrding to the latest statistics, repre-
scnts about 100000 in all, says a
Washington correspondent. Some of
the principal divisions of the Fedora
ton are the carpenters and builders,
representing about $4,000; the Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel Workers, which
has been called out as result of the
contest with the steel trust, 10000;
the Typographical Union, 900; Brick
layers and Stonemasons' unions, U.s.
900; international Association of Ma
chinists, $4,000; United Mineworkers
of America, 10000; Tailors' Union of
America, 10000; Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, Trainmen and Fire
men combined, 10000
III addition the representatives of
the Federation have been organizing
unskilled labor, such as helpers in
factories, workers on street improve
ments, etc. into divisions. All of
these bodies oblige themselves to pay
certain assessment to assist any di-
vision during a strike period, and con-
tribute annually 50 much into the gen
eral treasury. This amounts to about
cents per member per year. An
idea can be gained OF the increased
membership of the Federation when it
is stated that this income in 1887
amo united to $4,000. while in 1900 it
amounted to $4,000
