Local Improvement-We under
take to say that no town of its size
shows the life and activity of our own.
While nearly every town in northern
Iowa has more or less tenantless
houses, New Oregon to-day has none.
IN Our Improvements in the last
year in business houses and dwellings
exceed that Of any town Of its popula-
tion within the range of our acquaint-
ance. At the present time Clemmer
& Mitchell are erecting store build
ing two stories high, 24x50, ]. w.
Mitchell a three story building for a
store and grocery, d. d. Sabin a
dwelling, Walt Schotield dwelling,
j. f. Mitchell is making preparations
for erecting residence this fall, be-
sides large lumber erected in the
early part of the season. If any other
town in Northern Iowa can show as
much substantial progress during the
past year as this, we shall feel proud
to give them the palm of victory; we
claim it now for this place.

Won S|ERNBERG ARRIVES.
So ecial Representative of Germany,
in Venezuelan Negotiations,
Reaches Washington.
MAKES A FORMAL CALL ON PRESIDENT.
Latter Expresses Hope That Baron's
Coming Would Result in Settle
ment OF All Pending Questions
Visit Paid to Minister Bowen Later
in the Afternoon.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Baron Speck
Won Sternberg, the special representa-
tive of Germany in the Venezuelan
negotiations, who arrived in Washing
ton Friday night, was presented to
President Roosevelt Saturday by Sec
rotary of State Hay. The call was
formal, the baron desiring to present
his credentials as special minister
from Germany to this country before
taking charge of the embassy's affairs
in the absence of Ambassador Won Hol-
leben.
The exchanges were verbal, the pres
ident for this occasion waving the
usual preparatory ceremonies, and
Baron Sternberg confined himself to
an expression of the emperor's friend
ly feeling for the United States and
his own qualification at being able to
return to America in this capacity.
The president responded in felicitous
vein, incidentally expressing the hope
that the baron's coming would result
in the settlement of all pending ques-
tions, this being an indirect reference
to the Venezuelan issue. Beyond
this the question was not discussed.
The baron, who was received in the
executive Offices, remained but few
minutes. He called upon Minister
Bowen during the afternoon.
Decline Proposal in Toto.
Washington, Feb. At developed
Saturday that the answers of the allied
powers to Minister Bowen's latest pro-
posa arrived here Friday, but were
not Immediately presented to the min
lister. The answers were to the effect
that the allies could not consent that
the United States and the other claim
ant nations receive the same treatment
as the blockading powers, and that
they therefore rejected in toto Mr..
Bowers final proposition. Knowing
the consequences that We're to follow
the presentation of this answer the
of the allies took upon
themselves the responsibility of with
holding the notes of their governments
and of again cabling urging retrac-
ton of their preferential demands.
The exchanges are still in prbgress be-
tween the Italian, British and German
embassies, but there is no evidence
that the allies intend yielding. If they
hold out, their representatives must
present the joint refusal and the
Washington negotiations will come to
a standstill.
Ask for Further Instructions.
Paris, Feb. 2.-Official sentiment
here Saturday is more hopeful of an
adjustment of the Venezuelan ques-
tons, owing to the receipt of advices
to the effect that the representatives
of the allies have requested their re-
spective governments for further in
structions. There probably will be
simultaneous presentation of frances
position through the French repre-
sentatives in London, Berlin and Rome.
The authorities are examining the
plan for aggregating the claims of
the powers which did not participate
in the blockade, as suggested by Min
lister Bowen, and are inclined to regard
it fayorably.

stand Together Against Demands Of
Miners for Higher Wages or
Changed Standards.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2.-The
open session of the miners and oper-
ators' joint wage conference did not
open Saturday morning until almost
ten o'clock. Though it was generally
understood that the scale committee,
which went into executive closed ses-
sion Friday, would have no report to
make Saturday morning, almost all of
the 700 miners and delegates who are
being held here to ratify settlement
were present.
The scale committee, however, did
have formal report to make, setting
forth the selection of w. II. Haskins,
of Ohio, as chairman; S. C. Scriggs, of
Chicago, secretary, and Frank Brooks,
secretary of the Ohio delegation, as
sistant secretary.
The report showed that on the pre-
liminary vote in executive session Fri
day the operators voted unanimously
not to grant the increase in wages or
changes in standards of mining that
were demanded by the miners. All
demands adopted by the miners were
voted on separately.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

A few years ago quartz mines that
would not yield $50 to the ton were
despised and rejected as Improbable.
Now, with improved methods of ex-
tracing, ore containing as low as So
a ton pays fair dividends to the stock
holders.
The cost of cyanide treatment of
ore in typical southwestern Colorado
plant, where about 125 tons are
handled daily. is stated to be 70 cents
a ton-35 cents for cyanide, COS cents
for labor, 3.5 cents for powder and
fuel, and As for zinc.
The gas used in the modern gas en-
CINE performs nearly, or quite, double
the work obtained from it when used
for steam-heating purposes. In time
the gas engine, in utilizing the blast
furnace gases, will make pig iron pro-
duction more than doubly profitable.
