WILL ENLARGE PLANT
Clarinda Poultry, Butter and Egg
Co. will Build Big Addition to
Plant in This City.

The Clarinda Poultry, Butter and
Egg Co., which recently purchased the
Swift & Co. plant in this city, are pre-
pairing to greatly enlarge the plant. W..
T. S. White, general manager and treas
urer of the company was here the
latter part of last week in company
with several contractors, setting stakes
for big new building, new power
house, and an addition to the present
building. The new building will be
about 40x100 feet, two stories and full
basement, the basement being used for
storage purposes and the first and
second stories for feeding and pack
ing station. Between the two build
ings will be built power house in
which it is proposed to install fine
$50 horse power engine and boiler to
furnish power for the plant. and prob
ably electric lights for the plant.
They will also add another story to
the present big building so as to in
crease the capacity, and the two build
ings will be connected by overhead and
ground platforms so that they will be
practically the same as one building.
They will do away with using ice for
ooling purposes and will install two
new cooling rooms which will be cooled
by new freezing or cooling process
which uses chemicals in pipes instead
of ice.
The company deals in creamery pro-
ducts as we'll as poultry and eggs, and
are also figuring on putting in a cream
cry at the plant here. They have al
ready commenced buying cream, which
for the present will be shipped to their
creamery at Creston. The farmers who
sell their cream to them will receive a
separate check for each shipment of
cream they bring or ship to the Leon
plant. 1t will not be tested here, but
will be shipped direct to the creamery
at Creston and each customer will re-
ceive check for his cream the follow
ing day and not have to wait two weeks
or a month for their money after deliv-
ering their cream.
Leon certainly will have no kick COM
ing in having the business transferred
from Swift & Co. to the Clarinda Poultry
Butter and Egg Co. if they make all the
improvements they are now contem-
plating, for in addition to the money
spent here in erecting the new build
ings the working force will be more
than doubled and they expect to operate
the plant continuously the year around
instead of practically shutting it down
as soon as the poultry season was over
as was the policy with Swift & Co.
The Clarinda Poultry, Butter and Egg
Co. is one of the biggest produce com
panies in the west, and connected with
their houses at Leon, Clarinda and Cres-
ton they have twenty-six buying sta
tions and keep number of men on the
road all the time buying produce. They
are now working a good sized force at
the Leon plant, handling eggs which
are shipped for cold storage, averaging
a car or more each day.
1t is expected that work on the i'm
provements will be commenced within
a short time.

.SPANGLfR PREDICTED
New York Oracle Predicted the San
Francisco Earthquake as we'll
as Several Other CaIamitieS.

The earthquake that left death and
disaster in it's wake in San Francisco
was predicted December 18th last by
prophet" Spangler, New York oracle,
whose alleged prophetic powers are
taken seriously by the residents of the
ghetto district in that city. At that
time Spangler made general forecast
of calamities for 1906, including "de-
structive earthquakes in California and
the Philippines" 1.-The destructive erup-
tion OF Mount Vesuvius" and ''pro-
tracted race war in the SOUTH"
The fact that the California and
Mount Nesuvius disasters have occurr-
ed and that the recent race war at
Springfield, Mo-, tends to support his
other predictions gives added interest
to his prophesies. Among other pre-
dictions he made on that date are the
following:
Dissolution of Russia.
Overthrow of Turkey.
Assassination of the czar.
Assassination of the sultan of Turkey.
Roosevelt.
Activity Of Mount Pelee and Popocat-
apetl; volcanic eruptions in all parts of
lhe Wofld; erupUlOnS OF many volcanoes
now supposed to be extinct.
Great loss of life at sea by storms.
Destruction of two western cities by
cyclones.
Earthquakes in all parts Of the world.
Rebellion in Spain.
Great disturbances all over Europe.
Spangl,r further declared that the
summer Of 1906 would be hot and sultry
throughout the temperate zone, with
a high death rate.

If Garden Grove.
Iowa is state of which we all are proud,
And we love to sound her praises loud.
In hailing from her, gives a naughty air,
To think we came from state so fair,
A state so rich in ever way,
In cattle, horses grain and hay
Her fame for corn, is something great!
Outranking any other state.
Counties, ninety and nine, from Adair to Wright,
Are filled with homes that are happy and bright,
We have seen them grow from humble shacks,
That we daubed with mud to fill their cracks
We've helped to break her prairie sod,
And drove our OK teams through her mud.
l remember the wolves that howled al night.
And gave us all such fearful fright.
The wind that blew in an early day,
And leveled our fences and scattered our hay,
No sooner had the fences been rebuilt,
When along it would come another tilt;
The hay roofs on stable and shed,
Had to be anchored like bars of lead.
The railroads then very few
The first remember was the G. l1. & Q.
The stage coach then was at its best,
But to keep its Job must move on west.
Her railroads now with her ribbons of steel,
Are the modern highways for the rolling wheel.
The plows and harrows I've followed myself
Are now out of date and laid on the shelf.
The country has changed-and often think
OF those whom time has showed DER the brink.
Twenty and two are the years of late
I've spent outside of my Old Home state.
When looking backward DER mountains afar,
There many find who have crossed the bar.
My life thought was hard one then;
But in mind am living it over again.
The brightest hours of our early date,
Are those we have known in the Old Home State.

The New Kino of Denmark.

BY Julius Moritzen, in the Forum.
While the late king never saw his OPP
portunity to visit the United States
his son may carry out a plan long
cherished. In closer touch with this
country, wen, than his father, King
Frederick VIII very recently expressed
the wish that he might see for himself
how eXcellently the Danes have borne
the banner OF reputation into the west
ern world. Commerce with this coun-
try has increased to a very great OK
tent within the last few years. The
Observation-Disclosures steamship line
has been augmented by many fine new
vessels recently. Should the king of
Denmark decide upon such a trip across
the Atlantic there awaits him a well
come here which the Danish-Ameri-
cans would not be alone in rendering.
Among the man fluctuations that
reached him on his ascension to the
throne none struck a more sympa-
thetic chord than the message of good
will which came from the United
States. Tinged with regret, because
of the noble character which had
passed away, it held out the hope that
the successor to the honors would earn
and retain in equal measure the love
of the nation and of the world at large.
That King Frederick will strive with
all his might to prove worthy the task
assigned him, there is every evidence.
His past performances are an augury
Of his intentions. The curtain has rung
down on a royal career the counter
part to which may long be sought in
vain, but Denmark takes comfort in
the knowledge that the new king has
within him the identical strain. Many
monuments will be reared to the mem
DRY of Christian TX, but giving his peo-
pie the best of which he is capable will
be the highest tribute the son can pay
his parent. Bronze nor granite never
held their own with truer affection. It
will rest with the new monarch whether
his affection shall continue through
the royal Danish lineage.

HOME RULERS HOLD
TWO LARGE RALLIES
THE HOME RULERS SPOKE IN
MANOA VALLEY-BOTH MEET
INGS WELL ATTENDED.

The Home Rulers held two rallies
last evening and both were well attend
ed. one was held near Frank Har-
vey's place up Nuuanu Valley and the
other was held in Manoa. Large crowds
of natives created the speakers in both
places and much enthusiasm prevailed.
All of the candidates on the Home
Rule ticket spoke at either one or tse
other meeting. d. Kalauokalani ST.,
was the most heartily greeted Of all the
candidates. He spoke at both meet
ings leaving the Manoa meeting early
and reaching the other meeting in time
to speak.
Kalauokalani dealt principally on the
reason why the natives should vote a
straight Home Rule ticket. 1t was
their party and they should support it
and not listen to the false promises held
out to them by the haoles who would
only be good until they got into office.
Then the natives might shift for them
selves. He said that the natives could
hold the power here if they would and
they should vote Home Rule ticket.
He spoke of how he was a Home
Ruler and that he was glad the Home
Rulers had spurned the offer of the
Democrats to endorse him. If he was
elected he would give his whole
strength to the betterment of the Ha-
waiians
Samuel Noar also spoke. He called
attention to the platform upon which
the home rulers stood and said that he
was glad that he was candidate up
on so good a platform. He censured
the Hawaiian for not holding together
better. He stated that this was a
campaign of education and that soon
the natives would he educated and then
they could demand good government.
He urged all of them to vote a straight
Home Rule ticket so that they could
give the other parties a surprise when
the election came around.
Notice was given out at the meetings
that there would be a grand meeting at
Aala park on Saturday evening and
that all Home Rulers were urged to
attend so that the other parties could
see that the Home Rulers were a force
in the present compaign.
rally will be held this evening in
