Agricultural Department Loses
Chance TO Carry Out Idea to
Create New Animal.

Washington, April 2S.- Serving
as a member of the jury in one of the
criminal courts here this week is
William II. West. Although now an
ordinary citizen. West bears the
unique record of being probably the
only man who ever arrested a presi-
dent of the United States. In 1872
West was member of the police
force of the District of Columbia and
when President Grant came speeding
along behind a fleet pair of trotters,
fracturing the speed regulations at
every stride of his horses, Policeman
West promptly took him in charge.
The president enjoyed the sensation
and accompanied his captor to the
the station, where, of course, he was
released. This is Vests first public
appearance in years, and the facts
were drawn from his while he was
undergoing examination as to his fit
ness for jury duty.

Uncle Sam is certainly making
strenuous efforts TO prevent the ex-
termination of fish from the streams
and lakes of the country. Last year
the government hatched no less than
I759,0O0.000 fish, which were dis
tributed to all parts of the country
This is a line of work over which the
president as a sportsman is very en-
thusiastic. He manifested a keen in
terest over the progress which Fish
Commissioner Bowers recounted dur
ing a visit to the White House the
other day, being particularly pleased
with the report of the commissioner
to the effect that the cost of Matching
and planting 100000 fish had in
the last eight years been reduced
from $476 to 1928.

REALTY VALUES ARE RISING

San Francisco, April 2S.-Confi-
dence in San Francisco is mistaken
With the ruins OF it's great retail
and wholesale buildings still smok-
ing. plans are afoot for their recon
struction.
San Francisco rebuilt is to be a
better, safer and a more comfort
able city for business and residential
purposes than II was before. Capt.

is at hand. Chicago and New York
financiers are ready with 1t. The
Harrimans, the Stillmans. the Rookie
fellers and Morgans of the financial
world are anxious to expedite the
work. 1t is to their benefit TO do So
All signs conclusively prove that
the credit of the Golden Gate City Is
unimpaired. Its natural advantages
remain AID its future promises to
bring as bountiful prosperity as did
dts past. The trend is toward a
municipality OF steel and brick. of
edifices' constructed along the latest
approved eastern lines. The new
city will be far more substantial
than the old--this is certain. The
dominant here Is optimism.
Realty Values Rise.
1t has become obvious within the
last few days that instead OF shrink
ing, real estate values have risen
rapidly and will continue TO rise
Fancy figures are being quoted on
sites suitable for business establish
ments. Structures that remain
comparatively intact and are not far
from the old business section are
being leased, room by room, at ex-
tremely high rates. Everyone seems
feverishly anxious to outdo everyone
else in reaching. old customers first.
Instead of booming San Francisco
the double. attack of fire and quake
will prove a blessing. Unaccount-
able as it may be to many people in
eastern states, the denizens of this
part of the country have no especial
fears OF a recurrence of the recent
catastrophe. They argue that seis-
mic disturbances OF such Intensity
come once in fifty or one hundred
years.
Next time we will be prepared"
is the regulation comment. The
faith of these people, their courage

tendance Look for by the Officers.

The Winneshiek County Fair will
be held next week Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, and as the
time approaches the prospects for one

brighter. During the summer the
people of DEBORAH have subscribed over

up the grounds. All the buildings
have been painted, the fences, sheds
and barns repaired, improvements
made on the grounds, which have been
enlarged. and the track is in better
shape than ever before.
Every day of the fair there will be
fine races. good base ball games, many
attractions including Miller, the hand
cuff king who is creating such excite
ment everywhere, side shows, moving
pictures, etc. besides the greatest show
ing of cattle. horses, hogs. farm
machinery, vegetables, etc. we have
ever had.
Remember wednesday Will be the
great day, when U. S. Senator
Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, the great
North Carolina orator and statesman,
Will address our people. The oppor-
tunity to hear Mr.. Tillman should
attract people from every section of the
county.
Good weather and big crowd will
make a great fair this year. Make
arrangements to take the week off and
spend as many days at the fair as
possible. Make it a great county
picnic, bring your whole family, and
everybody have big time. We can't
have fair without crowds, and with
them we can have dandy. Come.

Marvellous Symbolism.

Wherever true Christianity has
gone, patriotism and religion, like
twin sisters, have joined hands to
bless the world. Love of country
and love of God sweetly blend, but no
nations banner has combined such
intrinsic beauty, such expressive ORR
gin, such sublime history, such moral
and spiritual symbolism as our own
"red, white and blue" We, like the
psalmist, may look toward heaven
and say: Thou hast given a banner
to them that fear thee, that it may
be displayed because of the truth. :"
White has for ages been the emblem
of purity, scarlet of sacrifice and self
denial, while the blue of the sky has
ever been symbolic of the divine pow
er from above. What marvellous SYM
bolism for the American flag But
will you consider also how fittingly
the red, white and blue symbolize
the Christian banner-purity, sacrifice
and dime glory Rev. T. w.

The width of the Columbia at Astoria

the most successful ever attempted in

Drs Ottinger and Fulton remained in
