IOWA AT WORLD'SFAIR
State viii Make Machinery Exhibit
For First Time.

Des Moines, July 20.--Iowa will have
machinery exhibit at st. Louis. This
is something that the state has never
had at national exposition. At Chi.
cago and Omaha the state made no eff
fort to do anything along this line, but
there is no reason why Iowa should
not make creditable exhibit in many
branches of this industry. There are
many establishments in Iowa that
manufacture various kinds Of ma
chinery.
II Is true that comparatively little is
known of the machinery industries OF
the state. Every other industry is
exploited to a greater or less extent
but the men who know about the ma
chinery that is manufactured in Iowa
are very few. They are mostly the
men who are directly engaged in the
business or the men who buy the out
put Of the various establishments. AL
most every city Of any size in the
state has one or more mills that manu-
facture machinery,
One of the reasons that so little is
known about this industry, is to be
found in the fact that the manufac
turers Of machinery have no state or
ganization. They do not even know
each other except by accident and as
| they come into competition with each
other. In Des Moines there is the i'm
plement and vehicle club, but this is
made up to a considerable extent Of
jobbers. Several, in fact, all of the
prominent manufacturers Of nipple
ments and vehicles belong to 1t, but
1t is only a local organization and has
comparatively little to do with the
other manufacturers of the state.
In Scott county there is an associa
ton made up purely Of manufactur
ers. 1t is we'll organized and might
we'll become the nucleus OF state or
ganization. The Scott county associa
ton has offered to become part Of
the state association, if state associa
ton can be successfully organized. Il
has also volunteered to furnish a sec
rotary who is thoroughly familiar
with the work that is to be done.
1t is more than possible that a state
association will be organized. The
secretary of such an association would
be the logical man for superintendent
of the machinery exhibit to be made
at st. Louis. To Mr.. S. M. Leach, the
member of the commission from thu
Seventh district, has been delegated
the duty Of arranging for the machin
cry exhibit. Mr.. Leach has been hav
ing considerable difficulty owing t.
the fact that there is no state organ
ization for him to deal with. His az
itation Of the matter may result in one
being organized, and should this b.
done it will be possible to arrange fol
much better exhibit at st. Louis
than will be possible If it is found
necessary to deal with every prospec
tive exhibitor separately.
Iowa may easily astonish herself as
we'll as the entire country by her We
hicle and machinery exhibit at the ex
position, If the manufacturers Of the
state can only be interested in it. Mr.
Leach is making every effort to de
this and it is to be hoped that his eff
forts will be crowned with success.

With the knowledge that we have
OF the soon passage Of the fire claims
bill in the House, we consider the
Eawaiiaus who are foolish enough
to part with their awards, as being
worthy a term at the Insane Asylum
for they were fooled, not by the mis-
sonares in this instance, but by men
who pride thems Ives in being white
land sharks. We hsve a pity for
anyone who can be so foolish in this
twentieth century to allow himself
to be easily fooled, even if they are
OF the simple mirdld" Hawaiiaus
But the wrath to come will yet visit
uplu th Sc land sharks and they
may be made TO feel the enor nifty OF
their trsnsgression. We cannot ex
onerate them and they should be
made to suffer severely for the psrt
played by them, as they do know
better than to again deceive and
misrepresant others 10 order to re-
coup themselves for the previous
errors made by them in taking such
worthless collateral. This effort to
palm this swindle off on the unsus-
pectipg aud simple minded people,
whose homes are in Hawaii, deserves
to be not alone exposed, but also to
he punished.

Youthful Horse Thieves.

Several days ago Sheriff Grant receiv-
ed notice from the officials at Everett to
be on the lookout for couple of boys
who had come this way with horses and
saddles wrongfully appropriated. Last
Thursday evening Ed Goodwin, of Par
ker heard noise in his stable and CO.
ing out found two of his best horses sad
died and bridled as if for journey. He
investigated so closely that he run upon
two youngsters who were concealed near
the barn, and was Immediately fired
upon by the would-be thieves. Running
to the house Mr.. Goodwin secured his
Winchester in time to take couple of
ineffective shots at the rapidly disap-
pearing forms. The next event deals
with the fact that coming to North va
kima the boys found another chum and
with him proceeded to take horse and
equipments belonging to Albert Haw
kins, which was tied in the rear of
5Shardlow's: another. the property of
rear of the French saloon on Front
street. and the third, nice fat pony.
already saddled and bridled. from in
front of the residence of Charles T..
Forsyth. on North Fourth street. Thus
provided for. the trio took the road for
Ellensburg. where. after many vicssi-
tudes and hardships. they We're all
rounded up by Sheriff Grant and his aids
and returned to this city with the stolen
chattels.
The boys who are now all in Jail. give
their names as Leon Casey, aged Ia
Fred Crow and Frank Espinsholc. each
aged l5 the former hailing from near
Tacoma and the two last named claim
ing Everett as their home.
The reform school will probably be
their destination.
The short time elapsing between the
time of their thefts and their capture
is but of piece with Sheriff Grants
usual performance when il comes to
thief taking.

Change of City Survey.

Guy Grafton, the recent purchaser of
the ten acre tract of land in the eastern
part of the city known as the Stone
place, having made up his mind to plat
the same into city lots. has had survey
ors laying out the lines in the past few
days. 1t has been ascertained that
many adjoining pieces of property will
be effected, as the original plats of the
Beck and Eastern additions were made to
conform to the original city plat with
out apparent reference to section lines.
While the streets already dedicated will

it was found. that part of the tract was
enclosed in the Beck place, the Strobach
fraction, the I. r. Fisher and Mrs. Esch-
bach residence lots, and probably others
yet to hear from. 1t has long been
claimed that North Seventh street prop
erty owners had part of that thorough
fare under fence, and while the straight
ening out of lines will work somewhat
of hardship upon those affected, it is
better that it should be done at once, as
property in that section is fast enhanc-
ing in value.
