GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, reviewing in its issue of this week
the evidences of Southern progress dur
ing the past year, including investments
of more than $4,000, 600 in building
new railroad mileage, and more than
$50, 600, 900 in cotton mills, says:
''These facts, touching only few of
the more striking phases of southern
development, are indicative of what is
ahead of us in the new year. To fully
grasp the progress of the South, we
should have to study the change which
has come about by which the southern
factory is not only beginning to supply
the needs of the South, but is bidding
for foreign trade; we should have to
measure the influence on the woodwork
ing industry of the phenomenal success
of the furniture factories of North
Carolina, which are capturing the trade
of this country as far as the Pacific
coast, and the foreign trade out to
South Africa; we should have to note
the rapid development Of industries to
consume at home the pig iron for which
we have heretofore had to find market
elsewhere-the steel rail mill at Ensley,
the steel car works to be builtin Alabama,
the success of the steel wire operations
which has resulted in the plans for
building the So, 600, EGGPLANT mentioned
as to be constructed at Gadsdcn."
The Manufacturers Records review
of railroad construction during the year
shows total new mileage in the south
ern States, and in Missouri, Indian Ter
ritory, and Oklahoma, whose railroad
systems are directly connected with
southern development, of 1894. 1t
also shows that at least 5,157.S miles OF
line will De constructed in these States
and Territories during the coming year.
The record of the year for textile prog
ress is remarkable. 1t shows additions
in the South of 1,119, 2S4 spindles, and
81, S67 looms. 1t is notable that of
these additions, which indicate an invest
ment of $22, 3S5, $50, established COM
panies have rs, 944 spindles, or about 81
per cent. of the total.

PRICES OF MEAT. Public indigra !
ton has been thoroughly aroused by the
unwarranted prices charged at this time
for meat" said assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Bingham in Washington
Yesterday. "When there was a scarcity
of corn and cattle ruled at high prices
there was some excuse for the price de-
manded tor meat, but now the price of
cattle has been greatly reduced and there
is no good reason why the price of meat
should not be correspondingly reduced.
The small supply of cattle at Chicago
last summer sent prices up until they
reached the highest figures Of the year
prices higher than had before been
reached in 20 years. Last month the
glut in the cattle market at Chicago
caused prices 10 recede to the lowest
recently reached, and cattle were sold for
S4.75 to 49, .25 in the month OF Decem-
Der that would have brought 1925 to
So. rs at the highest time of the year.
In view of the fact that the reports indi-
cate large supply of cattle on hand in
Chicago and other markets, and that the
wholesale price of cattle has been re-
duced very greatly, and, also, that the
large packers of Chicago have reduced
the price, it seems to me a corresponding
reduction should be shown in the retail
trade. If the people will awaken to the
situation and assert their rights now that
there is plenty of corn and no valid ex-
cuse for fancy prices, relief will, be-
lieye, promptly follow"

The theory of the influence of sun
spots upon the weather is perhaps not
so generally entertained as it was a
few years ago, but If such meteorolog-
ical extravagances as the world has
seen of late recur next year the Law
public will. at least, accept the theory
without further argument. For the
eleven-year cycle of sun spots which
began in 1900 has been steadily reach
ing its maximum. which should come

bring for some really frightful weather

The trip to Salt Lakes City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver & Rio Grande system The
Scenic Line of the World is the most
beautiful in America. No European trip
of equal length can compare with 1t in
grandeur of scenery or wealth of novel
interest. Then Salt Lake City itself is
a most quaint and picturesque place and
well worth the journey. Its Mormon
temple, tabernacle, tithing office and
church institutions; it's hot sulphur
springs within the city limits: it's de-
lghtful temperature, sunny climate and
it's Great Salt Lake-deader and denser
than the Dead Sea in Palestine-are but
a few features of Salt Lake City's count
less attractions. There are parks, drives,
canons and beautiful outlying mountain

CHICAGO's EARLY HISTORY
Plan to Inform School Children and
Their Parents of It.

To educate school children and their
parents in the early history of Chicago
and to mark the city's historic spots
with permanent tablets. the Chicago
centennial promoters have appointed
committee on education, consisting of
E. G. Cooley, superintendent of public
schools; Prof Henry w. Thurston of
the Cook County Normal school; G. A.
Osinga, principal of the Otis school;
Prof. ]. w. Fertig, secretary of the
man ]. Hall of the Public Parks asso-
citation; Miss Jane Adams of Hull
house, and Prof Edwin Erie Sparks of
the University of Chicago, chairman.
In the matter of tablets, assurances
have been received that make it certain
many of these will be placed perma-
nently. Among the first ones will be on
the public library and the court house.
The first will commemorate the Fort
Dearborn military reservation and the
second the various court houses of the
past.
The educational work in the schools
will take the form of Stereopticon lee
lures to be given centennial week. These
will illustrate from original sources the
beginning and early history of Chicago
A printed lecture. properly prepared by
Prof. Edwin Erie Sparks, will be read
to the pupils of every public and paro-
chial school in the city In all instances
the stereopticon pictures will accompany
the lecture. The educational commit
tee also purposes to have the lecture
read and the slides shown in the school
buildings which have assembly halls
during evening. All talks will be given
free by volunteers of ability.
The committee also intends to have
the lectures translated into various for
eign languages. these to be read in
school buildings situated where the for
eign population is large. In this end of
the work the various social settlements
will be asked to aid. The educational
committee will give every resident of
Chicago a chance to learn something
of it's early history.-Chicag Journal.
