Life is not measured in terms
of bread and butter and clothes.
We all must have these, but if
these prove to be all that we de-
sire from life, we fall miserably
short of knowing it in its full.
Life must have vision in 1.-THE
power to look forward and up
ward towards an unattained
ideal. Bread and butter and
clothes then take their rightful
relation to life, and they streng-
then US and prepare US for the
reaching out of purpose and of
aspiration. Are we like cattle,
to be content to hold our heads
down to the food trough, or to
ourselves out comfortably under
shelter When vision fails
within US, the best has gone out
of US. Wealth, luxury, comfort,
count but little if these are all
that a man or woman possesses.
But where vision prevails in the
heart, though the outlook may
be narrw-the life even squalid
"a glory can come to such a life
beside which luxury is merely
poverty.

With a troop of jacks the
movement of high grade gold
and copper-bearing ores from
the properties of the Lost Pack
er Mining company at Loon
creek, to the Salt Lake market,
has been resumed, this sluggish
and somewhat expensive means
of traffic to be continued until
the new $4,000 wagon road, now
being constructed, and the six
finland is put in commission.
However, the quality of the ore,
of which the local market has
had sample, is capable of
and to then afford a
much in excess of the
average. With conditions at the
mine and those surrounding it,
James Ivers, by whom the con-
troll was acquired some time ago,
and the interests by whom he
was accompanied on his visit to
it, was very much pleased. Equ-
ally gratified were his compan-
ions on the pilgrimage. includ-
ing Miles Finlen, John Lynch,
and Henry Welch, the party
having just arrived from camp
after a somewhat strenuous climb
over the trail. Discussing the
undertaking on his return, Mr..
Ivers, who has contented himself
with the treasureship, says the
winters campaign has been
characterized by most satisfac-
tory developments and with cor
responding progress during the
next few months there is no
doubt that provision will be
made for the reduction of the
ores on the ground. This will
probably be by furnace, the ore
to be reduced to matte aud sent
TO the market IN that form at
greatly reduced expense. In the
level he reports s.
feet of ore exposed with only
one wall in sight, while to inter
eept the tunnel at a depth of so
feet on its dip a cross-cut is be-
ng made from a winze below the
intermediate level. The ores
show a valuation ranging from
$50 to $3.50 per ton, with some of

THE TERMINAL MOVE
Northwestern Said to be Willing to
Join the NJ. & St. L. in Securing
Entrance to West Des Moines lnde-
pendent Of HubbeI Lines.

Des Moines, Sept. ga new move
in the effort of the M. & st. l.. to es-
tablish new terminal company. was
reported yesterday, the announcement
being to the effect they were nego-
tiating with the Northwestern. 1t was
said on good authority that the COM
bination was likely to be effected.
The plan is a very likely one as 1T
would necessitate the purchase of less
than two blocks of right of way in
East Des Moines to connect the ROADS
The Northwestern has long been en-
deavoring to gain entrance to West
Des Moines. The officials of the line
claim that it would mean an increase
of so per cent in their passenger bust
ness out Of Des Mones and the saving
of thousands of dollars now paid out
for switching charges.
The M. & st. l.. has made overtures
to both the Great Western and Mil
waukee to handle their business in
case the new terminals are established.
How far these negotiations have gone
is not known.
The combination would be advantag-
eous to both roads for their own
business, affording connections with
both sides of the river. Not only this
but there is an opportunity to derive
goodly sum by handling the business
of other roads over their lines
In case the new terminals are estab-
Usher, fine passenger station and Il
fine freight depot will be erected in
West Des Moines for joint use, and also
for the use of other lines that may use
the terminals.
Several years ago the Northwestern
made overtures to the Rock Island to
gain entrance to West Des Moines, the
negotiations being made when the new
Rock Island passenger station was
erected. The Rock Island after some
consideration turned the offer down,
recognizing that it would mean consid-
cradle competition in the passenger
business.
The M & st. u. and the Northwest
ern have few points in common, least
wise where there would be any COM
petition.

thirty-four years lost trace of each
other. Luiken came north to Iowa and
Hardin county and made his home at
Steamboat Rock. He happily married,
reared a family of seven, prosperei,
and is highly honored and respected.
Mrs. Johnson moved to the north also,
went to Chicago, married, and raised
a family Of seven. During the years
that interviewed between their early ac-
quaintance and subsequent separation
they never ceased to dream Of the early
days, and each heart seemed to know
the pain of vision seen in vain" A
few years ago Mr.. Luiken's wife died
and he fought life's battle alone. Last
spring his aged mother died. and as the
Luikens were we'll known Germans the
newspapers printed in the German
language gave an extended account of
the death of the elder Mrs. Lufken.

was the same she had known back in
those other days. She would write. A
quick reply came to her letter Of inquiry
and correspondence ensued. Mrs.
johnson was invited to visit the Lufken
home and she found a congenial one.
When she returned to Chicago it was
under promise to wed the boy of her
childhood acquaintance, and the we'd
ding of few days since is the happy
elimination of a true story, which
found as principals two worthy people.
