THE NEW DIES MONIES.
Or How the Capital City Has Out
grown Memories.

None of the hundreds of Oskaloosa
visitors present at the State Fair at
Des Moines last week enjoyed the &C.
casion more or were more surprised
with the capital city than were Joseph
Fisher, Oskaloosa's veteran pop corn
merchant at the court house corner,
and his excellent wife, Jane. Thirty
six years had passed since this worthy
couple had been within the gates OF
the capital city, and Lnirty-six years in
Des Moines has accomplished what
centuries would leave undone in other
places. Link Fisher, the son of the
couple, came down from Fort Dodge
and met his parents in the city, else
they would nave been inclined to re-
trace their steps. They were bewil-
dered and astonished, nor could they
express their amazement at the
changes in the city since they knew
the place. Practically nothing is left
that recalls to their mind the old
town that lives in lneir memory as
the Des Moines of 1870, the year OF
their departure. Hunt as they would
for some familiar landmark or some
place familiar, they we're unable TO
find even the faintest trace of the old
town that used to be-" The new

was like a worlds exposition Of indus.
trial and natural wonders, and Mr..
and Mrs. Fisher returned to their
home with an enriched experience and
fuller knowledge of the things OF
the day. And yet Mr.. Fisher ADMITS
that there is a tinge of sadness in con-
nection with the visit, for it passes his
comprehension how the old Des
Moines that had always existed in his
mind could be so completely effaced
and replaced by the new Des Moines
which he regards as great and a
wonderful city.

BUXTON IS GROWING.
Past Year Sees Some Splendid I'm
proyements Made.

The Buxton Gazette says: Our
school attendance has grown from 300
children to $50 The church buildings
have increased from three to FIVE. The
Mt. Zion Baptist church has been re-
modelled. The st. Johns M. E. is
being repaired. A coal conveyor has
been installed and is working; new
switch has been built for the convey
or. The depot yard has been graded
and ditched. The Y. NJ. c. A. has
outgrown its commodious building,
and separate building for the
Boys Department has been Sc
cured A new blacksmith shop has
taken the place of the old. A new
telephone system has taken the place
of the old. The coal company's Office
has been remodeled SO that the men
may be more expeditiously paid. Sew
eral new houses have been built on
the former sight of the Wells farm,
now commonly spoken of as Wells
avenue.
Coopertown, too, has kept pace with
the rush of business. A new pool
room has taken the place of the one
destroyed by fire. A building is being
erected that will be occupied by Mr..
Calloway's tailor shop and ready made
clothing store; DR.. Taylor will also
have an Office here. There have been
two or three dwelling houses erected
also.
But by far the greatest improve
ments have been made by the Monroe
Mercantile company. The large oil
tank has been removed from the store
and placed outside. An immense
warehouse has been erected with a
switch running alongside Of it. Cabi'
nets are now in use, making it easy
for the clerks to find things. The
undertaker's department has been en-
larged and room set apart for this
use which can also be used as a
chapel. In the basement everything
is taking on an orderly appearance.
Everything has place and is in its
place. Pneumatic cash tubes reach
from all parts of the building. As
fine show cases as are in the west can
be seen here. 1t is pleasure tc
watch the electric light display. An
elevator is running. The volume OF
business has grown to such an extent
that another annex was built for the
exclusive use of the teamsters.
Last but by no means least we have
the post office in large commodious
building. The fixtures are excellent
The mail is now being handled much
more satisfactorily.

COAL MINING IN INDIA.
CALCUTTA.

SttLSO "a
All Of the coal in India is bitumin-
Gus. Some of it is hard and glossy
and is much like Rock Springs
(Wyo) coal. Such coal retals in Cal
cutta at annas or 16 cents per
maund (S2 pounds. There are 27
maunds per ton, which would make a
ton cost SAL. BY purchasing a ton
or more at one time the rate is from
$20S to 1924 per ton.
The coal fields now operated are To-
Gated in Bengal, the native states of
Central India and Hydorabad A
comparison of the figures officially
given out will show that India is first
among the coal-producing dependen-
cies of Great Britain. In answer to
my question as to whether there were
other coal deposits not yet opened, |
was assured that the coal fields of In
dia had scarcely been touched; that

JAPAN exHAUsTlNG HER COAL.


Japan is at present lndia's only real
competitor in the orient; but. consid.
ering the difference in the extent of
the coal fields of India and those Of
Japan, it is reasonable to conclude
that the day is not far off when India
will control the far eastern coal mar
ket. The conclusion is based on the
fact that Japan has but G,000 square
miles of coal field. Her present an.
nual output is 100000 tons, which
is in excess of the Indian mines, but
this is a small tonnage compared with
what India is capable of producing.
In referring to the coal future, the
chief inspector of mines for India OBJ
serves tnat the chief need for a sound
development of the Indian coal fields
is Improvement in superintendent
and working capacity of the miner.
The methods of working the mines are
crude and unscientifc, and this results
in not only a smaller output than
should be expected but also in great
waste, To overcome this condition
the government of India has cstab.
lshed college, which has a large at
tendance. at Sibpore, for the scientific
training of native engineers with spc-
cial reference to coal mining. 1t is
believed that the classes at this insti-
tuition will furnish the needed skilled
assistants to European superintend-
ents.
The Indian miner performs work
underground much as the Indian la
boror does on top Of the ground. What,
ever kind of labor he undertakes he
brings to it an easy going manner and
| bone and muscle that are far inferior
TO that of the English miner or tho
miners in America In fact, he accom-.
plishes less than half the results Of
the western miner. He has not tho
physique, having inherited small
bones, light muscles, and an easy
way from his ancestors. 1t is be.
lieyed, however, that he is growing
stronger and becoming more capable.
and that in time the coal miners OF
India will by heredity become almost
equal to coal miners anywhere,
one thing is to be dCplorod, and
that is the employment Of women in
and about the mines as laborers. Some
Of these coolie women are said to walk
five miles in day in the perform
ancc Of their work, and carry on their
heads loads Of so pounds half that dis.
tanCe There is q strong sentiment
growing against this sort of drudgcry
ior women, but | fancy it will be a
long time before the women Of India
will be delivered from such toll i
has not been so many years since
women and children were rescued
from such drudgcry in other and more
cnlightened countries.
Here, in the capital Of India, the
cooha women carry bricks and mortar

These figures do not represent the
actual number of emigrants embarked,
and, particularly in regard to trans
Atlantic emigration, they must be re-
duced considerably. According to the
reports of the steamship companies
engaged in this kind of transportation
from Italian ports and from Havre,
the total number carried to the
United States in 1905 was 264 800,
against 1901 in the preceding year,
but to these figures must be added the
fairly large number Of those who en-
barked at other ports outside of Italy,
which brings the totals much nearer
the totals of passports issued.
Italian emigration is to a surpris-
ing extent temporary, and depends
upon the season Of outdoor labor. For
example, of the 2G6 9S2 persons 10
