The secret of the country's pros
perity is that all wage-earners and
farmers carr a sufficient amount Of
money TO enable them to purchase
and consume the products of the
country. So long as this condition
continues prosperity will be with
us. Cut the earning ability OF these
millions of men and women to an
average OF $500 a year, and IN sixty
d4ys the great Factories of the coun-
try woald begin to curtall p'oduc-
ton, prices would decline, and Iii
three months the country's indus
tries would be IN the clutch of in
dustrIal paralysis and hundreds OF
thousands of people be forced into
,dleness. There Is no more permc-
lous theory either from the poin
of view of human happiness or thr
general prosperity of the country
than that winch looks TO a mlnl-
mum wage and p,nchlng standard
of living which denies good, COM
Portable raiment and shelter, and
the impossiblllty of all luxury. The
nation that adopts a policy that Will
lead TO a low standard of living has
started on the downward road to
decay.-Indlanapolis Journal.

the Dick bill is that the national guard
regiments shall hereafter, be camped
each year with regular army troops,
and in view of this fact there is little
doubt that the future gatherings of the
protectors OF law and order in Iowa
will be at Des Moines, where the new
and commodious army post is about to
be established.
Adjutant General Byers has not yet
returned to Des Moines from Wash
ington but when he does, he will doubt
less take up the matter of holding the
annual encampments. Whether 1t u
feasible to bring the regiments to the
reservation this year will depend large
ly on when the buildings at the post
are ready for occupancy of the troops,
and when the troops are sent there.
According to present plans, troop of
cavalry will be sent in July. II this is
the case. it will undoubtedly be possi-
BILE to have the encampment at Des
Moines this year. 1t is probable that
a small body of infantry will be sent
from some other post to join with ta9
infantry Of the guard in the encamp-
ment and maneuyers.

in declining to act with the cabinet as
board of consultation probably will
affect the International relations of the
Red Cross. When the American
branch of the national society was or
gained in 1882 M. Meunier, the chair
man OF the international committee,
whose headquarters are in Geneva, adj
vlsed the officials of the American
branch that the society must have
Official status in order to be recognized.
This was done by providing that the
President and other government offici-
ais should serve in various honorary
capacities. Their withdrawal appar-
emily leaves the American Red Cross
society without official standing at
home or abroad.

NEW DIET BILL AFFECTS GUARDS
1t Is Probable That Hereafter All
State Encampments Will Be Held
at the ArmoFy Post a Few Miles
South of Des Moines.

Hereafter, according to views taken
by militia officers of the new Dick bill
which was passed recently by congress

guard, which have hitherto been camp
ing each year at various cities through.
out the state-first one place and then
another-will hold their annual en-
camDment each summer at Des Moines
where they will mingle with the sold
iers of the regular army at the Des
Moines army post, which is soon to be
established near the capital city.
Whether the plan of Gen. M. H. Byers.
is to have the encampment include
all the four Iowa regiments at one time
or to have them camp singly or in
pairs, is not announced and it is doubt
! full if he knows himself which PROPOSE
ton he will favor. However, there is a
growing sentiment among some guards
men for camp of all the regiments at
one place and it is probable that this
plan will be tried this year as an ex-
pertinent.
The new army post will cover terri
| tory of 400 acres. and the rifle range
will include 500 acres in addition. On
| the latter tract there will be enough
room for the encampment OF thesstate
troops. The advantages claimed for
mass camp by those who favor bring.

be exchanged by examples of ideas be

RAvENoUsLY ATE THE RAILS.
Hungry Wolves Stopped the Traffic
on an Early Northwestern Railroad.

About 1872 one of the first railroads
of the northwest was built in the terri
tory Of Washington from Walla Walla
to Wallula, along the banks of the
Walla Walla river, and following the
general lines of what is now the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company's
road between those points. The road
was a primitive affair, and was built,
owned and operated by DR.. Baker
of Walla Walla. 1t had no Pullman
cars, chair cars or buffet cars, and the
day coaches were mostly platform or
fiat cars. Instead of having right of
way the road had permission to go
through the fields of the farmers. Con-
sequently the road was not rapid
transit one, as the train hands
had to get off and lay down the rail
fences and put them up again after the
train had passed through.
The roadbed was constructed by lay
ing cross ties six or eight feet apart,
and on those laying wooden stringers
for rails. The heavy traffic over the
road caused the rails to wear in spots
so that train wrecks were of daily oc-
currence These We're not serious, for
when the train crew saw a wreck COM
ing their way they would hop off and
let it wreck.
The annoyances however, soon be-
came detrimental to the interest of
shippers, so the owner had to devise
some means of overcoming the diff
Guilty. Rails of standard railroad iron
were out of the question, as they had to
| be shipped the Horn around" and
freighted by wagon quite a distance.
Strap iron could not be had The doc
| tor, with Yankee shrewdness,, finally
hit upon the idea of substituting raw
hide for strap iron. Cattle were plenti-
full and raw hide cheap, SO the doctor
soon had his track layers at work put
ting the raw hide on the wooden string
ers. The raw hide soon became dry
and as hard as iron and answered the
purpose admirably during the dry
weather.
The winter succeeding the laying Of
the raw hide track was a severe one
for that part of the country. The snow
lay on the ground for several weeks.
The wolves We're driven from the
mountains by the deep snow and Skin
mished for living as best they could
in the valleys. When the snow began
to melt it softened the rawhide rails
and the hungry wolves soon found the
tracks When spring came and the
snow had melted. the wolves had eat

Washington. D. c.. January 31.-The
much heralded get coal convention
held in Washington this week resulted
in somewhat of a fizZle. 1t had hard
ly been in session an hour when it be-
came evident that it was a sort of a
democratic mass meeting, presumably
in session for the purpose Of arraign-
ing the republican administration.
George Evers OF Davenport who is
deputy sergeant of arms OF the house
of representatives was a delegate to
the convention. Waldo Becker, the
democratic mayor of Davenport, wired
to Mr. Evers to represent Davenport
at the meeting and the latter attended
the first meeting of the convention.
He soon saw how matters were going
and as a loyal supporter of the admin
istration could not countenance the
proceedings so withdrew.
In the first place. the convention was
given an exceedingly frosty reception
by the local business men and press.
The mayor Of Detroit called the CON
vention to be held in Washington, and
the first thing the men of local promin-
ence knew about it, they We're notified
that the meeting was coming on such
and such date. They did not wait
for an invitation. There were not
even any local delegates appointed to
the convention, and scarcely any local
interest was taken i'll the proceedings.
The purpose of the gathering became
evident Sduite soon and the delegates
threw all caution aside when at the last
session the matter of coal was ignored
