reduces English comment on the
events at the seat of war to a min

sociated Press from St. Petersburg
have continuously pointed out,
every initiative now lies with the
Japanese. In view of the continued
silence from the quarter which a.
lone can throw light on the situa-
ton, the English critics sati sly
themselves by forcasting an in-
pendiug battle at Mukden or its
vicinity. They have practically
given up the illusion current prior
to ana during the first stages Of
the Lao Yang contest, that any
degree of fnality is likely to be at
tached to this engagement.
The fanatical disregard for death
displayed on both sides and the
ability to keep an army in being,
either from an offensive or defensive
point of view, under conditions con

done more to convince the English
press Of the desperate character Of

rHE RLslNEss OUTLOOK,

Henry Clews in his weekly review
OF trade takes a hopeful and philo-
sophical view of the situation for the
new year. Among other things he
says:
"The year is closing in much better
shape than expected. Since the har-
vest, improvement has been so mark
ed that much of the ground lost dur
ing the panicky year of 1903 has been
regained. Railroad earnings, bank
c~learings, pig iron production and 9TH
er trustworthy indicators all tell the
story of revival; ana there are no
signs yet of the onward movement in
business having reached its climax.
The outlook for 1905 is even brighter
than that of 1904, the only hindrance
to activity being the universal high
level of prices. This would suggest
that it is time to call a halt were it
not that owing to the national growt-.
our industries are still unable to
meet demands. We still need more
houses, more food, more clothing and
better transportation, and until these
demands are satisfied there a be
no serious recession in values.
The war between Russian and jap
an has thus far exercised but a slight
disturbing influence. 1t should not,
however, be lost to sight, as with the
approach of spring both contestants
are likely to again knock at the door
for fresh loans wherewith to carry on
another, and it is to be hoped the
final, campaign. Russia would, Of
course, go to Paris and Berlin, chiefly
the former. But the best opinion is
that it is the last time that Paris will
open her purse strings to aid Russia
In this war. Japan would probably
depend chiefly upon London for out
side help; but her own are
by no means SO near exhaustion as
supposed, and the extraordinary spirit
of sacrifice and i%ntrepidity, backed by
successes already gained, gives Japan
an enormous advantage over Russia,
weakened as she is, by corruption and
internal dissensions,t to say nothing OF
the difficulties and additional cost Of
carrying on the war at such an i'm.
mense distance from home"

Mrs. Callahan, of the Hotel Lacey,
made special effort to please her many
customers and had a special menu for
the day that vas appreciated by all
guests Of the house and those from
the city who came into the house for
the dinner.
The Hotel Downing served a very
nice Christmas dinner but made no,

HERE Is REAL WEALTH.

Chicago Inter-O Ocean: Secretary viii
sons annual report gives some curl
GUS figures in an effort to bring with
in average comprehension the magni
tude and value of the farm products
of this nation.
The farmers of the United States
are 10Y producing yearly commodities
worth nearly $4,000, 600, 900. To mos
of us such figures really mean little
Our minds cannot grasp what they
stand for.
Only by comparisons a we get any
definite idea of their meaning. Here
are some that may help to such an
idea:
The farm products of the last two
years in the United States exceeded
in value the output of all the gold
mines of the world since Columbus
discovered America.
American farm products of the last
year were worth four times lne value
of all the railways; six times the com
bined capital Of all our national
banks.
With their corn crop alone Ameri
can farmers could at once pay off the
entire national debt, principal and
accrued interest and have nearly
enough left to pay national expenses
for another year.
And it is well for the republic tina,
these things r 80. The nation
whose prosperity stands thus based
upon it's soil Is in no danger of eco.
nomic s~ubJugation or overthrow.
Only those nations which have let
their agricultural foundations become
too narrow for their industrial su.
p~erstructures need be anxious about
what their neighbors may do to them.
Great Britain has made that error,
and that is why she is o anxious
about her future.
In the industry, skill, thrift and sue
cess of its farmers, the United States
OF America stands secure upon the
only cure foundation. Here is real
wealth.

All Iowa will sympathiZe with
Sioux City in her awful loss by fire
Friday night. The fire came with
crushing force upon the observance
Of her semi-centennial year, in honor
of which the Journal a short time ago
issued a special edition devoted to
setting forth the growth and prosper
ity Of the city. Sioux City was the
scene two years ago Of a disastrous
fire which destroyed the stock yards
of the Armour company, entailing a
loss of $885,000. The completion of
the new $4,000 0 plant which will
replace this was celebrated only a
week ago.

New Record Set in Business Done
by Registry Dept.

The Oskaloosa postofice has again
exceeded itself in it's holiday business
for the week preceding Christmas
and has set a new mark in the number
of packages registered. The depart
ment handled a total Of 7S0 packages
which is almost one hundred In ex-
cess of the best previous record,which
was that OF last Christmas with a to-
tai Of 683. The heaviest work was
on Thursday, when almost two hun
dred packages were handled. This
days work lacked n package Of
equalling the total registry for the
year 1897, when the registry depart
ment first came into local prominence
as a carrier of Christmas packages
and parcels.
The small number registered on the
day before Christmas is accounted for
by the fact that the holiday came on
Sunday and the thought that trains
would not be running on that day
caused people to hurry their packages
by a day or two and this threw a big
ger business into the days preceding.
The Office force at times had just
about all they could do to handla the
business. Four men were working in
the Office during the rush and some
times five were required. Mail Clerk
Frank Stone had to use many extra
sacks in the handling of the extra bus
mess and on several days the amount
of mail sent out of the Office filed
the mail wagons to capacity. POST
master c. V. Hoffman,, Deputy f. ES
Smith and Assistants Frank CowaH
and Wilbur Bass worked early and
late to get the work out Of the way
The Office was kept open until mini
o'clock upon two evenings, and theA
made the most of the extra time an
lowed in getting their packages of
on time.
The record of the packages mailed
during the past eight years presents
an interesting array of figures, worthy
the attention and study of the student
of local affairs. The figures show an
increase in the business that is some
what wonderful. The cause may be
assigned to the growth in the popular
ity of the registry system, or perhaps
a more general understanding on the
part of the public of its benefits and
safety. A growth of the city Is also
indicated in the increased business,
and some of the increase, too, may
have been due to a bit Of judicious
advertising.
