Wandering Jesuit Fathers, pressing into the

4loza1o
"Of SO strong a current is the river Iguazu that
it may not be navigated; and the reason thereof il
that ct distance Of four leagues from its mouth
is cut from side to side BY preoipice Of exceed

"Such is the force of this fall that from this
single leap there arises fair cloud, which is its
perpetual crown and which may be seen even from
the farawuy banks of the Pnrana."
Limited means of travel and the inaccessibity
of the cascades are obstacles that few travellers OF
succeeding generations have overcome, and so this
mighty cataract set in its rich frame of forest gre
poured on in solitary spendor, year after year, with
none but few stoical natives to feast their eyes.

recognized the young man who had

face lighted up with a kindly smile.

EGGS WILL R AISE.
THE PRODUCT OF THE HEN Ex-
EEcTED TO GO SKY.
WARD.
This Staple Food Has Good Prospects
Of Reaching Fabulous Price Before
Spring-No Good Reason for In,
creased Price.

Eggs, that staple food the product
OF the tickle hen. are to be higher IN
price the coming winter than ever be-
fore in the history of this country.
They are to command almost any price
during the cold months according to
the best of authority. This doesn't
mean that they are cheap now, for the
contrary is the case as many people In
Ottumwa can testify.
Farmers who bring eggs to town
nowadays secure as much as sixteen
and one-half cents per dozen for them
and then storekeepers are glad to get
them even at this price. It Is stated
that they will easily reach thirty-five
cents before next spring. City COM
mission buyers state that the highest
price ever known for eggs Is In sight
for this winter and before the LAY"
of the hen is known again next spring
housewives will have paid as high as
fifty cents per dozen for them. This
only applies in the cities for 1T is not
probable that they will exceed thirty
five cents in Ottumwa. This is a big
price. however, considering that this
is right in the country Of the hen.
NO ECoQ cause.
1t would seem as though there was
no good cause for eggs to advance as
they do but there is something at the
bottom. for this stiff price has been
kept up right along through the sum-
mer. 1t is stated that there is cor
ner in existence in all of the storage
eggs in the country and this may &C.
count for the raise in price. At the
present time the commission men are
paying, sixteen and one-half cents for
eggs, per dozen, and the best are be-
ing retailed at twenty cents. All dur
ing the past spring and summer when
eggs usually go to twelve, ten and ev-
en- eight cents the price has never
gone lower than fifteen cents.
Brief periods of high prices in eggs
have heretofore been known when
some unusual circumstance has contri-
buted to it, but never in the history
of this part of the country have they
risen so in price and maintained it for
so long time with no relief in sight.
During the latter part of March and
April and early May when storage
men usually buy eggs at low prices,
there were no eggs bought less than
fifteen cents and the majority of eggs
now in storage were bought at nine
teen cents The smaller commission
firms withdrew from the markets
early because of the high prices fear
| ing that there would be little or no
profit in them.
