Jones Writes Governor
On Question of Cooperation
With Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May "a
Representative Jones has written let
ter to Governor Mead, asking him to
consider carefully the proposition to
have the state of Washington coop
crate with the national government in
the matter of topographic survey.
Mr.. Jones understands that an eff
fort was made at the last session of
the legislature to secure legislation to
this end, but that no action was taken.
He says that the proposed surveys
will be of great benefit to this state,
especially as an advertising medium,
for the topographic maps show many
facts upon which an outsider may
form judgment in regard to water
power facilities. the prospects for irri-
CATION the location of railway lines
and many other matters.

JAMESTOWN, Va, May 24-The
grounds of the Jamestown exposition
will next year be the scene of probably
the most interesting and picturesque
military encampment ever held in this
or any other country. Visiting COM

countries and the American continent
will be on the ground during the cur

number of United States troops will
be continuously on hand.
Apart from the attraction of the pa
rades, reviews and maneuvers, there
will be much interest taken in the
living quarters of the troops and the
encampment will be a very beautiful
feature of the celebration. There will
be a great variety of nationalities and
uniforms and the mingling of French,
English, Russian, japanese, Mexican,
Spanish and other visiting troops
should have an educational as we'll as
a spectacular value.

WOULD HELP IOWA.
Corn, AIcohoI's Greatest Staple, Will
be in Larger Demand.

FORT DODGE, Iowa, May 24.-An
Iowa is watching the progress of the
free alcohol bill Already capital has
been attracted by the field it's passage
will open, and at Des Moines there
are several men of wealth who have
plans partially formed for the erection
of a large distillery for the manufac-
ture of alcohol from grain as soon as
the bill becomes a law.
The removal of the tax from alcohol
would be Of inestimable value to Iowa
as a grain-growing state. 1t means
the erection of distilleries in every part
of the state which will employ capital
and labor and stimulate a home mar
ket for agricultural products.
Corn, Iowa's great staple, will be in
much greater demand. Last years
crop was in the neighborhood of 375,-
OOO, 900 bushels. Only a small percent
age OF CllS was COIlSuIlSu dl
The time was when crop of this kind
would be represented in large degree
by special stock trains of fat cat
tie on their way to eastern markets.
but stock feeding as an industry has
decreased to a large extent the past
five years.
However, the removal of the tax
from alcohol will mean the estab-
lishment of a permanent market for
Iowa's great corn crop which will not
be influenced to the extent that the
cattle feeding inductry was.
1t is easy to remember when corn
sold for Is cents bushel. Today it
is worth about 40 cents on track. The
steady demand and more staple mar
ket is due to many sources, chief of
which is the number of products now
| being made from corn which are staple
| commodities.

After being allowed to enjoy free
dom for about one year Edward Spen-
Ger. under sentence for murder in the
second degree, was returned to the
penitentiary last night. Spncer was
released from the prison a year ago on
pardon for the reason that it was be-
lieved that he was afflicted with tu-
berculosis and that if kept in close
confinement his death would follow
in few months. The change bene-
fitted the young man greatly and he
was gradually improving. He secured
position as waiter in the Creamery
Cafe and was very popular with the
proprietors and the patrons of the
place, all of whom speak highly OF
the young man. About three months
ago he married Miss Gertie Mckeehan.
Pardoned Last Year.
The pardan was granted to Spencer
by Governor Mead, May s. 1905. 1t
provided that the young man was to
be under the care and surveillance OF
DR.. Y. c. Blalock and that his rela-
tives were to assist in his maintenance.
One of the provisions of the pardon
was that if he did not conduct himself
in a proper manner he was to be re-
turned to prison and be compelled to
serve the remainder of his sentence.
Yesterday Warden Kees received
letter through the mall the name of the
writer he declined to make known, in
