kept pace with the building Industry.
In spite OF the high prices of labor and
materials, the highest in many years,
the building operations were the most
extensive ever known.
Another cause for the extension OF
the clay-working industry is the
scarcity and consequent high price or
timber as building material. In
many places 1t is now as cheap, even
at the present high cost of clay pro-
ducts, to construct a dwelling of brick
as of timber, and the time will soon
come when not only city houses, but
country and village houses as well,
win be made OF clay or some other
form Of mineral product. Up to the
present time, the advent OF sand-Iime
brick, cement blocks, and concrete
construction does not seem to have
materially interfered with the SPLEEN
did progress of the clay-working in
dustry.
The value Of the clay products, as
computed by Mr.. Middleton, increased
from $131,O23,24s in 1904 to $149, 697,.
1873 in 1905, gain Of $1S,673,94O or
14.25 per cent. In 1904 there was a
decrease of S39,17S, or 0.OS per cent,
and in 1908 there was an increase
over 1902 of sS,s92,S9O, or 7.2S per
cent.
The average prices obtained for
brick, the only item on which an av-
erage price can be given, were consid-
erably higher than in 1904. The av-
erage price for common brick for the
whole country was $6.25 per thousand
as against $3.50 per thousand in 1904
and 1903. The immense consumption
of building brick by Greater New
York, the principal portion of which
was supplied by the Hudson River re-
gion, was the most striking feature
of the year in the common brick in
dustry. Prices rose to $40 per thous-
and for this class of brick at New
York, whereas only few years ago
the same brick sold Ior IS per thous-
and or less.

clay-working industry t. show a de-
cline in 1905 was that of paving brick
For some reason, the value of this
product declined from $7,557,425 in
1904 to $6,703,710, loss of $S53,715,
or 11.30 per cent. The prospects are,
however, that paving brick will re,
cover its lost ground and show a
larger product than ever before. The
average value OIL this product declined
from $10.28 per thousand in 1904 10
$1V.07 in .9O5.
The number of operating firms re.
porting declined from CLOS in 1904 to
5,925 in 1905. The great prosperity OF
the year has attracted many new pro
ducers who had no output in 1905, but
will be producers in 1906. The mum
Der of operating firms reporting
should not be confused with the num-
Der of plants, since many firms oper-
ate more than one plant in the same
state, and even many plants in differ
ent states. In one case a single oper-
ator reports for 35 plants.
g The pottery industry, which showed
a decrease of $277,7S2 in 1904, rallied
in 1905, and not only overcame this
loss, but showed a gain over 1904 OF
$2,760,624, or 1897 per cent.

Although his first term of office will
not expire for more than year yet,
the new law has made it necessary
for r. w. Moore to stand for re-elec.
ton this fall The efficient, pains
taking and careful work he has done
as a member of the board of superyis-
ors gained for him unanimous re-
nomination, and should insure for him
reelection with an increased major
ity. The county has been his work
shop, and the county affairs his bust
ness. He has given every detail the
same careful attention that a success
full man gives his private business,
and the public has been benefited by
M Moore's presence on the board.
Mr. Moore is honored and respected
the county over on account of the
scope Of his service and work in the
county during q residence Of more
than half century. The gentleman
is particularly well known in the
southeastern part where he has con-
Quoted farm and a business in a
successful way, with profit to himself
and to the betterment Of his neigh
bors, for many years. His candidacy
is receiving the enthusiastic support
Of all people for his worth as coun-
ty trustee is generally recognized and
his election favored.
Mr.. Moore was born in Indiana and
was brought to Iowa, Mahaska county
and to Cedar township, where he now
resides, in his early infancy. He
grew up in the county, acquired prop
erty and has labored and prospered
along with the years and is still
pleased to call the county his home.
He has always had a keen interest in
public affairs, the life of the day and
the hour. He has been a lifelong re-
publican, casting his first vote for
Abraham Lincoln. He is an old sol
der, enlisting in 1864 in Company B
of the Thirty-sixth Iowa regiment, Jun
der General Drake, and shared in the
hardships and the honors of this reg
iment. He saw hard service and was
in a number Of battles. He was cap
tured, together with others of his reg
iment, and was IN prison in the Con.
federate prison at Camp Ford, near
Tyler, Texas. Following the war he
returned to his nome at Cedar and
there he has remained. He had a
farm of good size which he proceeded
to work and became one Of the fore
most of the stock raisers OF the coun-
ty. Later in life Mr.. Moore added a
mercantile business to that of his
farm and he has been signally sue
cessful in all OF his undertakings. The
gentleman Is Of the old school and his
honesty and integrity are proverbial
throughout the county. The people
have implicit faith and confidence in
the gentleman, and this respect and
regard has led Mr.. Moore into many
places Of honor and public trust which
has practically amounted to contin--
uous service in the interests Of 9TH
ers. He has held every township Of
fee, been at the head of educational
and church AFFAIRS and has served the
public In many ways. He Is we'll

work Of this character ana has much
knowledge Of men and Affairs. He

TRADING IS LIMITED
Scarcity of Stocks Offered as Result of Merger Be-
 ing Made.
NEW STOCK ATTRACTS
 MUCH ATTENTION NOW
,By Frank J. Graf,


 BlSBEE, June 8.-Today the mar ket held strong. and at the close took on a further advance, but the scarcity of stocks makes trading limited. From the very few asked prices that appear on the boards 1t can be readily seen that the majority of the holders of Bo- nanza Circle stocks have sent in thelI stock for transferring into the new stock so there is no doubt whatever that the consolidation will go through. The new stock is attracting much at tention and trading is good in it. This stock was selling at $19.75 during the day, and at the close there was none offered under $2o.25. Bids of $31 failed to bring out any Calumet & Pittsburg or L. s. & P. Pittsburg & Duluth held up we'll at S21. while Junction sales were being made during the day at s26.5o, closing at s2S.75 bid. North Butte is selling ex-dividend at sS2. Denn-Arizona and Cochise have weak ened, with but little demand, Denn be- ing offered at $19.12, while Cochise is begged at Se.50, with no bid. Ameri- can and Warren are coming in for their share of the trading. Black Mountain Is picking up at $10 bid. Helyetia is another stock which is attracting considerable attention. al though there Is but little stock being offered, and bids of s5.50 and $6 can locate but little. Butte Coalition seems to be begged at s33.5o and s34.
