WILL OPPOSE PARCELS POST.
Retail Hardware Dealers Expected to
Take That Stand.

Minneapolis, March 20.-The annu-
al convention of the National Retail
Hardware Dealers association opens
here today The attendance is unu'
sually large and every state and terri
tory is we'll represented The con-
vention will last three days. 1t is ex-
pected that the convention will renew
its campaign against the parcels post
proposition and will adopt strong res
olutions in opposition to it.
On the other hand, the convention
will undoubtedly favor a reduction in
the rate on first-class mai lmatter
from two cents to one cent for each
ounce. The delegates will argue that
the reduction of the rate on first
class mail matter will be of greater
benefit to the public in general while
the parcels post would involve great
cost to the government and would
benefit mail order houses to the dis
advantage of the small retailer.

Alba, March 20.-The weather has
moderated considerably within the

and the snow is from eight to 10
inches deep all over the country.
Feed is plentiful among large por-

Abundant Water Next Summer.

Perhaps the greatest benefit will be
derived from the snow by the miners
who have not been positive as to the
amount of waters that would be
available this season, but now there is
no longer any speculating on the
length of the season for operation.
The mills will have an ample supply
to operate through the summer and
far into autumn. Heavy piping will
be begun as soon as the water starts
on the placer properties. These great
industries are now assured Of enough
water to continue from May until the
frost comes in the fall, and will allow
for piping day and night throughout
long season.-Grangeville Free

DEVELOP IRON IN OREGON.
Company Formed to Mine Columbia
County Coal and Iron Ore.

Oregon will be the home of great
iron and steel working industry If
negotiations now under way are IA
vorably concluded in the east. says
the oregon Daily Journal. DR.. j. S.
Giltner and 10 or 20 other owners
have given options on upward of 15.-
600 acres of iron and coal lands to G..
Allen Mason of New York, represent
ing the New England Coal & Iron
company. 1t is said the company
will invest a vast sum of money in a
project to establish on this coast a
smelling and steel working plant that
will rank with the great plants of the
east.
The existence of iron and coal de-
posits close to the Columbia river in
this state has long been known. The
lands have but a nominal value ex-
cept for their timber, 1t is said, un-
less some concern with very large
capital comes in to develop the iron
industry. Some years ago the lands
could have been bought for IS per
acre.
1t is said the price has now gone
up u SOU ana SlVU per acre, pTdCu-
cally the same prices that iron lands
bring in Michigan and other regions
where the iron industry is well devel-
oped. The Columbia river iron lands
are said to produce a fine quality of
ore, equal to that producing the Bes-
semer steel.
These lands lie on the Oregon side
of the Columbia river, in Columbia
county, and extend from Columbia
City south about six miles to the
Scappoose country" said E. C. Gilt
ner.
They contain large deposits of lig-
mite coal and iron ore. The iron is
known as brown hematite, and is said
to assay as high as any known iron
ore in the country. The coal is known
only by what is seen on the surface
Its extent or quality can be learned
only by boring and development. The
iron lies in blanket lodges and ex-
tends over many thousands of acres -

been stretched over the rock crusher
and the part of the quarry where the
men are employed, so that the work
may be done effectively, notwith-
standing the rain.
1t is thought that by beginning the
preparation of the rock early, 1t will
be ready to be placed on the roads
at a more convenient and seasonable
time than year ago. The expert
ment of employing convict labor will
be one that will be watched with
more than common interest.

celebrated Liberty" and Mascot
brands of -four There is no reason
why pound of flour made outside ii
Lincoln should be used in Lincoln.
Especially is there no reason why Min

wheat in the world, and Barber & Eos
ter grind this prize wheat into flour
that is the equal of any flour made
anywhere. 1t is business idiocy to
ship our wheat to Minneapolis, have
it ground into flour there, then ship the
flour back to Nebraska. Nebraska
wheat must be ground in Nebraska
