Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-01-29

The Camden Courier has this to say on
the subject =
The recommendations Of the Governor
regarding important legislation for the
benefit of the State will undoubtedly meet
with popular Endorsement, however they
may fare at the hands of the Legislature.
Had he stopped there and not entered upon
discussion of the trust question the docu-
ment would have meet with entire approval.
But, at the risk of being called ga carping
crit c." as the Governor says Of those who
he thinks may misread his words, the
Courier is of the opinion that he has been
rather gratuitous in his defense of trusts
and combines and not at all complimentary
to public sentiment generally regarding the
later. The common intelligence, and that
is the average intelligence of the State,
understands what trusts and combines are,
and how the Governor may personally APP
preciate them is of no moment, except as it
may be held by outsiders to be reflex of
New jersey opinion, coming from its execu-
tive. The people of New Jersey have not
forgotten how the present coal combine or
trust, when it made its first attempt at
Trenton, was defeated in its purpose
through the decision of Chancellor Magill,
and they have reason to remember it more
than ever by the distress and suffering they
are now enduring through this same COM
bine.

GOVERNOR MURPHY's MESSAGE.
Press Opinions.

The Philadelphia Telegram, Republican
organ, makes the following terse comment
on the message =
This fhalcyon and vociferous" state
ment of the case will be regarded as credit
able to Governor Murphy's ingenuity, if
not to his nervousness. He commits his
State to defence of the trusts, for which
the State is already retained by fee of
$14, 600, 600. As an official representative
of the Republican party in New Jersey,
Governor Murphy can hardly be permitted
to commit that party to the same line of
trust protection. The Republican party as
national organization is engaged in an
earnest and sincere effort to deal with the
trust question on its merits, and to regu-
late monopOlistic combinations in the in
terest of the whole people. Our friends,
the Democrrtic enemy, will, of course,
make the utmost possible use of Governor
Murphy's trust advocacy for the manufac-
ture of political capital; but any such at
tempt must be met by the reputation of
Governor Murphy as a Republican spokes-
man and his recognition as a paid trust at
torney.

nihcant feature Of the activity in this
line lies in the fact that the greater
number Of buildings have been cosy
homes for wage earners. Of business
blocks there has been q considerable
number erected, but for the most part
work has had 10 do with hOme-build-
ing, and that, too, for the homes Of
men in modest circumstances, whose
prosperity argues well fOrstIe future of
the city. Notwithstanding the heavy
building record Of 1902, the records
show that the number Of permits for
building more than doubled in 1903.
New Iron Works.
A new iron works plant is an enter
prise that has just been launched in
Ogden. a company has been capital
lied for their construction and opera
ton. \ great advantage which the
company viii have is the facilities for
shipping it's ores over the Ogdeu-Lucin
cutoff line, which brings its mines
comparatively near this city. Immense
deposits Of iron ore exist in the west
eru part of Box Elder county. and
these have been located and form the
basis Of the new company, which viii

part OF the city and expects to be turn
ing out pig iron within eight months
Construction Companies.
Several construction companies make
Luefr headquarters In the city of Ogden
and much Of the construction of canals

directed from Ogden. The pay rolls OF
the construction companies which oper-
ate throughout the west, but have
headquarters in ogden, win approx
mate 100000 per month. Repair yards

Here For Four Years.
MIR. SCHROEDER BOUGHT ESQ
BUSHELS THIS FALL.
A Dozen Farmers Have Raised II
Successfully For the Past
Several Years.

Saturdays Daily Pioneer pub
lished story to the effect that
! the first wheat ever raised in
Beltrami county or marketed in
Bemidji had that day been sold
at the store of e. H. Winter &
Co., but since an interview had
with Mr.. Schroeder last night
the paper stands corrected.
Mr.. Schroeder has bought
wheat in Bemidji for the past
four years and during the past
fall $50 bushels have been market
ed at his store. The market
price was not taken into con-
sideration by Mr.. Schroeder in
purchasing it and he paid on an
average Of 80 cents per bushel
for all that he received. Mr..
Schroeder calls the attention of
the paper to the fact that there
are a dozen or more farmers in
this vicinity who have been rails
ing wheat successfully for sever
al years. Among those who
raised crops this year were Fred,
Charles. and Herman Eickstadt,
Gotlieb Belize and Hugo Hensel.
Luedke Brothers have owned the
first threshing machine brought
to the country for several years
and it was run for some time in
the town Of Grant Valley this
fall. On the farm. of w. p. Glass;
ler, a short distance from Be
midi, wheat as fine as any that
comes from North Dakota was
raised and there have been a.
number Of excellent crops OF rye
and oats reported from various
sections Of the county. While
Mr.. Schroeder is not positive he
believes he is entitled to the
honor Of buying the first load of
wheat ever brought to Bemidji
and this he. bought the first year
he was in business. It was
raised near Spaulding postoftice
and Mr.. Schroeder says that
from now on wheat raising will
gather Importance as an industry
in this section with every sue
ceeding season.

Much interest is aroused in the
annual fair of ST. Philips Catholic
church which will open at the
city hall on Thanksgiving night
and will be conducted Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings.
The fair will be one of the big
gest things of the sort ever held
in the state and a number OF
spirited contests which are on at
present are serving the purpose
of keeping it effectively adver-
tised before the public.
A committee of the ladies of
the church consisting of the
Mesdames Ludington, Danaher
and Mayer and a like committee
Of the men consisting Of the
Messrs. Russell, Doran and
|OLeary are more than busy at
present arranging the details
preliminary to the opening. A
canvass of the business. houses
of the city and the members OF
the parish has resulted in secur-
ling a bazaar stock that will be
surprising to every body who at
tends the fair. There will be Of
fered for sale sets of cut glass
ware and chinaware, furniture
and brio brac and odds and
ends of all sorts that will no
doubt be turned into money
quite rapidly. TheLadies society
will serve supper Thursday even
ing. 1t is probable also that
there will be arrangements for a
dancing party at the close Of the
fair every evening and this
feature will especially appeal to
the young people.
There are a number of contests
on but the most spirited will be
for gold watch between the
Misses Doran and Chamberlain
and for a gold headed cane be-
tween the Messrs. Al EIazen and
e. j. Willis. All Bemidji is ex-
pected to visit the fair and with
favorable weather the prospects
are that it will net big sum Of
money for the society. Delega-
tions of visitors are expected to
attend from Bagley, Cass Lake,
Shevlin and several other towns
in this vicinity. The committees
having the fair in charge will
spare no pains to provide for the
entertainment of everybody who
attends and make the event an
unqualified success.
