Chicago as a Grain Center.

W.. c. Brown, general manager OF
the Burlington road, presented some
startling facts at a banquet of business
men in Chicago. Last year, he stat
ed, the railroads brought into Chicago
250,000, 900 bushels of grain and 6,000,-
900 barrels of flour. There was
time when grain came naturally to
Chicago and small arbitrary made
no difference. The detection Of COM
merce from Chicago, however, was il
Illustrated by the facts that the Bur
lington had built three large elevators
in ST. Louis last year, and that one
small elevator in Burlington did more
business than the largest elevator in
Chicago. AT one time recently it was
full and there were over 700 cars walt
ing to be unloaded. Matters had come
to such a pass that the railroads were
hauling empty cars to Chicago to take
grain out of Chicago. How long will
the commercial supremacy OF Chicago
last under these conditions 2" he ask
ed. In making Improvements rail-
roads make plans for fifty years in adj
vance, and they do not wait until they
have all the money to expend. do
not speak in the interest of the Bur
lington road, but for Chicago. We can
haul the grain to Peoria, to Boards
town, to st. Paul and other outlets if
the citizens of Chicago so desire"

SONS OF VETERANS.
New Camp to Be Organized in ottum-
wa in the Near Future.

Wd III IUc iHCdI utuiC.
1t is an assured fact that Ottumwa
is to have new camp of Sons of Vet
Grams. The present existing camp, so
it is understood, will be disorganized
and will pass out of eXistance, and
new blood will De infused into the
ranks. The movement is in keeping
with the reorganization spirit that is
now passing over the state.
The local camp used to be good
one, but that was ten years or more
ago. For the past seven years it has
been gradually failing, for one reason
and another, until it is now scarcely
ever thought or heard of. There is
scarcely ever meeting, and no inter-
est whatever is taken by the mem
bers. The condition was the same
nearly everywhere, except in a few
localities where something or other
was accountable for the interest keep
ing up.
Within the past year, however, a
spirit of activity has come into ,svi-
dence. and it has finally reached sOt-
tumwa. w. T. Mollison,, one of the
members and leading officers of the old
camp, who knows that there must be
a reorganization has secured the
names of nearly half a hundred per-
sons who have promised to become
| charter members of the camp which
is about to be organized. The names
are those of first class, progressive
people. and the camp, if organized,
will be one of the best in the state in
point of the high standing and the
popularity of it's membership.
Mr.. Mollison has in his possession
blank application for charter, and
within short time a meeting of
those who have signified their intent
of placing their names upon it, will be
held, when definite action will be ta-
ken.
Mason city's Camp.
AT present the best camp in the
state in the one maintained in Mason
| City. 1t has a membership of some
thing more than 200, and it is looked
| upon as one of the leading organiza-
| tons in the city. 1t is said to be to
Mason City as the Elks and Knights
Of Pythias are to Ottumwa. Interest
| in the camp there is due principally
to A. L. Sorter, Jr., the gentleman
! who is responsible for the National
| Memorial university which is to be
! built in Mason City next summer. The
university project was nursed for
many years by Mr.. Sorter before it be-
| came reality and it was not until the
last national gathering of the Sons of
Veterans that it took positive shape,
and the sum of the contributions were
| found large enough to warrant the
establishment of a site and to author
/ ize the work of the building. 1t is all
due to the work of Mr.. Sorter, it is
said, and when that kind of man is
the leading spirit in any organization
and principally the Sons of Veterans,
that body becomes power. The peo-
| pie of Mason City owe much to their
camp and, approaching the fact, they
do what they can to encourage and as
sist it.
1t Is believed that with, the excel
lent new blood which is to be infused
into the ranks of Ottumwa, that the
camp here will in few years be a
most successful rival to that in Mason
City and that it will be recognized as
a leader in state camp circles.
