Des Modncs, Nov. 15.--State Dairy
Commissioned n. r. Wright Is graft
fied at the showing In the increase IN
the amount Of butter that was pro-
duced In Iowa during the year ending
July 1, 1905. The increase In the pro-
duce was over 120o0.ooo. and the price
Us cents higher than 1t was last year
In addition. There WAS produced dur
ing the year ending july !. 1905. 81
.7G7b3s pounds Of butter and the year
before there was but 70,o00,000 pounds
produced. There were sos creanncries
In the state that produced 75.346s035
pounds. or these twenty we're big
ce'ntralizing plants that produced IT,
.627,10s pounds OF butter. After sub
tracting that produced by the big
plants the average per creamery ia
118,00O pounds a year. There are b48
plants In the state. excluding the big
centrallzing concerns. The total fig
liaes for the state are thus shown to
be- quite accurate. The price Of but.
ter a year ago was ga cents a pound
Wholesale In New York, and the qoro-
d,lce OF the Iowa creameries was
therefore S14,s90,00O. The price now,
wholesale in New York As 24.s7 cents,
which makes the value Of the I,wa
product $40, ,393,400. The increase. Is
shown more In the value OF the prod
.,r.t than In the number Of pounds. The
prices given are the wholesale price
for the best butter there Is on the
market An Interesting matter In the
slme connection i6 the fact that when
the price o6 butter is wholesaling In
f;esy York for ~ cents It rctaiis at 80
O. over ara Iowa people pay the same
price here, 30 cents, but do not get
the best butter. The situation is one
Of eating what you cannot sell.
A year ago there was very little but
ter put in cold storage when the price
was low in the summer time, but this
year there has been a great deal put
IN cold storage. A year ago there was
from 50, ,OO0, 900 to 55,000,00O put in cold
storage in the large centers, and this
year there is 75,oo0,0o0 or s0,00o,00o
pounds In storage. AS a result last
year the price was high during. the
winter time, when there was no butter
being produced. This big demand for
butter this summer .is what has kept
the price OF butter high. Iowa farm
ers, however, have not always gotten
the benefit Of the high price OF butter
In the sale Of their cream to the
ci.eameries,, for the reason that the
cl.eDmeries have paid less than the
market price, This, 1t is claimed, Is
one OF the methods Of the large CEN
Trailing plants after the small cream
cry IL driven out. BY eliminating
competition the big plant can pay what
1t likes.
There are some politicians claiming
that the recent elections In the east
mark the sunset Of the presidential
campaign OF Secretary Leslie M. Shaw.
II Is claimed by these politicians who
are anti-radlroad men that the cleo
tions have been feeling Of the pulse
of the people and that after the re-
suits of the election there can be no
question as to where the people stand.

east and elsewhere will never dare to
put man Of Shaw's type, who has
been making every effort to show the
public that he Is with the money in
terests. That having been 50 con-
spicuously follower OF the money
people he would stand a slim show
and hence the selection OF q mild cam
dldate and one not so conspdcuously
opposed to the peoples interests will
bs selected.
No decision Of Custodian McCurdy
OH the Thomas Graham matter is ex-
pected till after this session of the SUI
preme court. It IL inferred naturally
THAT Mr.. McCurdy would wait for the
court as a decision declaring the SOL
diers' preference law unconstitutional
will put an end to the entire matter.
The court will sit till sometime next
week. There Is absolutely no way
Of knowing when q decision will be
handed down in the case till the opin-
ion is placed in the hands Of the clerk
OF. the supreme court.
Mention has been heard made In
will be a candidate for governor. The
mention is no more than a prophecy
based on the known fact of his ambi-
ton in that direction and the promt-
nence in which he has been brought
by his recent trips to Panama and the
Philippines Just how much OF the
prophecy Is based on the strength Of
prestige had from his trips and how
much on his known ambition to be
governor is only by inference. Mr..
Young landed in New York yesterday
and is expected home in a few days.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald un-
der a Des Moines date line prints
what purports to be recently discov-
cred piece OF news towit: That Dav-
Id j. Palmer, state railroad commits
sioner Is a candidate for governor
and that he has the backing OF the
railroad people and j. w Blythe IN
his candidacy. The mention Of Mr..
