The IRIS NEW SERIAL STORY.

The Times Republican is especially
pleased to announce that it has secur-
ed the right of publication to Hamlin
Garland's last great picture of western
life-"Hesper." a story of the Colorado
mining camps. Garland's west is the
true west, his people the real inhabi-
tants of the Trans mississippi, and his
imagined scenes and situations as
faithfully realistic as the "reminiscences
of Alfred Henry Lewis and Emerson
Hough. Like them, he knows the west.
among the farmers of northern Iowa to
the limits of the Klondike. No other
has autographed the life of the middle
west farmer as Garland has done. He
knows the miner and the mining camp
as he does the outlying and lonesome
farms and has in "Hesper" set into mo-
ton a Microscopic film of typical peo-
pie and scenes and circumstances be-
longing to the latter day mining camp.

stories that made his fame.
1t is a strong story, and stirs the
blood. 1t is clean, wholesome and
highly conceived A rich gold find, the
rush of the gold seekers and min
ers' strike, with its Accomplishments Of
violence, battle. bravery and mani-
ness, amid the Wild scenery of the
mountain peaks, make the thrilling
background for the central interest of
the story, the successful wooing of a
fascinating eastern society woman by
western miner.
The story takes on an added interest
to Iowa readers from the fact that Car

in this state. Long ago his reputation

He is only another illustration of the
now generally conceded claim that
"of all that is good. Iowa affords the

and enjoyed by T.-R. subscribers. Start
with the first chapter. The demand for

we are able to supply, and none should

A BILLION IN MANUFACTURE S.

Manufacturers participated to the

merce of the United States during the
eleven months ending with November,
1905. Figures just supplied by the

through it's bureau of statictics, show
that the value Of manufacturers ma
terials imported in the eleven months
ending with November was 513 million
dollars, and Of manufactures exported,
500 million dollars, speaking in rough
terms. This by far exceeds in both
imports of material and exports OF
manufactures the figures of any earlier
year and suggests that the total, for
the full calendar year 1905 will be
approximately $50 million dollars
worth of manufactures exported. 1t
will exceed by far that of any pre-
ceding year both in the imports of ma
terial for use in manufacturing and in
exports of manufactures.
The value of crude material for use
in manufacturing imported in the
eleven months ending with November,
1905, was, in round terms 369 million
dollars, against 300 millions in the
same months of the preceding year,
and of material partially manufactured
for use in manufacturing las millions,
against 122 millions in the same
months Of last year.
In exports of manufactures the fig
