DO YOU LIKE CANDY?.
oTTuMWA ONE OF THE SWEET
EST TOWNS IN THE
MIDDLE WEST
IONS of the Sweet Product to be Con-
sumed During Coming Festivities
Other Delicacies for Christmas-The
General Markets.

During the Christmas holidays. at
least, Ottumwa is probably one OF the
sweetest towns in the middle west. |
First in the wholesale line there are
two large candy factories which do an
exclusive wholesale business and
daily for the last month they have
shipped out vast volumes of various
CONNECTIONS to supply the Christmas
trade in other points Besides this
there are a number of retailers, who
have more or less extensive wholesale
trade.
And then the retail trade in candy.
tits marvellous how much of the sweet
stuff will be sold right here in OF
tumwa to the retail trade. Tons upon
tons of it will go. Every confectioner,
some of the drug stores, all OF the
grocery stores and a few of the de-
partment. stores, handle the sweets in
varying forms land quantities.
Varying Prices.
OF course it is the low priced can
dies, running 10, Is and 20 cents the
pound which have the big run in the
grocery stores, but. with the candy
stores the so cent variety sells almost
as readily as the cheaper grades. In
fact, all of the box candy, practically
is of this grade.
The cheap candy which has such a
big run and which Sunday school COM
mittees usually buy for the children
comes in huge barrels. The COM
moner chocolate comes in pals. In
many of the stores the candy is sold
directly out of the barrel and it seems
to be no trick for even small corner
grocery to sell a barrel of candy a
day.
Fruits In Abundance.
But candy is only one item. The
modern grocery store is as alluring to
the Christmas shopper as the dry
goods or the jewelry store, for there
is not only candy in abundance but
there is a richness in fruits, including
oranges and grapes, figs and dates, ap
pies, pineapples and bananas. There
are nuts in huge boxes with the Cali
fornia label on them, English walnuts
almonds, pecans, filberts, hickory nuts
hazel nuts and walnuts which. witt
the fruit suggest fruit salad and a lu
cious feast
The navel oranges Of california ar
coming into the market and will b.
rich and tempting by Christmas time
They are bringing 20 to SO cents do2
en-. Malaga grapes are in big dc
mand at 20 cents the pound. Califol
MIA nuts bring is and 20 cents
pound.
The commoner staples are comm
high this year Potatoes are up to z
cents and S1.00 bushel now and 1t
being predicted they will go still higf
er before the winter is past. Apples
even the home grown, common low
apples are breaking into the aristo'
racy by becoming decidedly uncon
mon and bringing at least 80 cents
peck. Bananas hold at the sam
urice of 25@30c.

Returning to the coast he went to Tombstone in the early eighties, coming from that big camp to Mohave county. He was ap- pointed County Judge by Gov. Tritle, which office he held two years. A few years ago he was elected district attor- ney of the county and subsequently represented the county ably in the ter ritorial council During all the years of his residence he followed the prac- tice of the law and also interested him. self energetically in the mining indus. try. At the time of his death he was the owner of considerable valuable mining property in Wallapai ming district and was in fair way to realize a competency from the sale of part of his mines. He was known in every mining camp on the coast and among the old timers he had thousands of friends. In Arizona, where he was best known, his friends were legion.

Rules Under Federal Control.

A bill has passed the National Con gress, placing all old ruins and antiqui- ties in Arizona, and New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest, under government control. The Secretary of the Interior may withdraw from entry the lands on which they are located and preserve and protect them from despoilation. In this work he will be assisted by the Smithsonian Institute and the various scientific organizations interested in this work.
 The law is aimed at the 'pot-hunt- ers," as they are familiarly called, who have been devastating the ruins and other remains of extinct civiliza- tion and races in thewestern territories in most ruthless manner to abtain mummies, pottery and other articles of antiquity for sale to museums and curio dealers This has been one of the recognized industries of New Mexi- co, Arizona, Southern Utah, southern Colorado and other parts of the south west. In several cites are large es- establishments filled with all sorts of plunder. Carloads are shipped east ward every few weeks. Enormous quantities have been shipped to Europe and sold. The shelves of public and private museums in this and other countries have been stocked with articles of more or less archaeological and ethnological value which have been picked up among the ruins. Several big dealers send out expeditions regu- larily to replenish their supplies. Parties of college students and other amateur scientists make annual tours of investigation, and have brought home vast quantities of relics. And professional archaeologists are con- stantly making excavations for the purpose of securing collections and studying antiquities, without regard to the damage they do or the interests of other students who may enter the field forthe same purposes hereafter. Enor- nous destruction has been done; many important ruins of prehistoric ages have been entirely obliterated. Temp les, dwellings, Notifications and other structures which were in fairly good state of preserv ation have destroyed by dynamite, merely to obtain curios to sell in the market, and so rapid has the destruction been that, unless some thing is done, within few years more the remains of prehistoric races and the Spanish occupations of the south west will be practically destroyed.
