achs of the nation. 1t has reformed
the stockyards. 1t has amelierated
the condition of hundreds OF thous-
ands of poor human beings employed
in the shambles, and 1t has probably
saved the lives of thousands of others
who might have been sent to their
graves by diseased meats.
Upton Sinclair did not write 1.-The
Jungle" in order 10 reform the stock
yards. He is not much concerned
about the fate Of the beef trust.
Poisoned meat and "downers," and
puffed cans and fermaldehyde only
interest him incidentally. He is So
cialist. In that lies the explanation
of his conduct and the menace OF his
power. He menaces the status quo.
He did not stumble upon the stock
yards scandal and write 1t up in order
to expose the beef trust. He was as
sgned to the work as a professional
writer and as a convinced and Jealous
socialist, by Kansas socialist editor,
to whom the beef trust was merely
one of many trusts forming n part OF
"the capitalistic system" 1.-The Jun
gle" was only the first of these revolt
ing exposures which Upton Sinclair
will make. He Is animated by the
ardor of the convert and the zeal. OF
the proselyte. He combines the per-
scouting ardor of a Cromwell with the
! literary power of Zola.

lavish entertainment of the Elks, and
thousands of dollars will be awarded
In prizes of those who decorate their
houses and places of business. The

WHAT "THE JUNGLE HAS DONE.
Upton Sinclair, Aged 27 is the Lead
ing Literary Star OF the Word.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat has
published the following graphic re-
view OF Upton Sinclair and his book,
THE Jungle," which started the
packing house investigations:
A new star of the first magnitude
has risen into the literary heavens.
Upton Sinclair occupies a command
ing position. An audience of SO,0OO,-
600 people hangs upon his words. No
other literary reputation has ever
been made SO quickly in America and
no writer Of the present day is his
peer in power and influence.
All this is because of the marvellous
success of 1.-THE Jungle" Although
but 81 years OF age, this youth, un-
aided, "broke" and working with his
pen alone, has done more to destroy
"the greatest trust in the world" than
the United States government was
able to accomplish. He has cost the
beef trust millions. He has destroyed
its foreign markets. He has tempo.

The Salt Lake Herald gives the fol-
lowing narration of the latest move

output of Idaho and Utah:
A deal took place in Salt Lake yes
terday by which the entire clip OF the
j. L. Wood Livestock company was
sold to the ]. d. Koshland company
OF Boston. The clip will amount to
over 100000 pounds. The price was
not given out but 1t is understood that
1t will amount to about $4,000
Word was received yesterday that
Governor Gooding of Idaho had dis
posed of his entire clip to Mark Har-
ris & Co. OF st. Louis.
1t had been arranged when the
flockmasters of the Boise district sent
Fred Gooding east to make necessary
arrangements that the wool would be
shipped and the buyers in the field
since last fall ignored. Thomas

and now Governor Gooding has fol-

Fred w. Kaser, president of -he-
Commercial club has just returned TO
the city from a short trip through
the several towns in eastern Oregon,
says the Walla Walla Statesman. Mr..
Kaser's itinerary left him a day, or a.
good part of a day, in Weston, La
Grande, Pendleton and Hot Lake.
In all the places visited Mr.. Kaser
reports that business was very good
and that the business men in the sew
eral towns when he dropped off were
more than hopeful regarding the
present business situation.
This was somewhat of an agreea-
BILE surprise to me-" said Mr.. Kaser,
"for recently reports had gone out
that the business world in the places
visited was complaining on account
of the lack of trade. But the reports
circulated were evidently false; at
least. observations on my recent trip
would lead me to believe that they
rested on no foundation at all.
Pendleton Good Town.
'At Pendlieton, after Interviewing
several of the leading business men,
l was subjected to my greatest sur
prise Not one of them had any
complaints to make. To a man, they
reported business good in Pendleton
with every prospect of it being much
better in the near future.
"As one of them said: Our city
subscribed in one or two days $4,000
for the San Francisco relief fund
Our latest exploit in the raising of
money has been for a Fourth of July
celebration. In about two days a
committee secured somethin glike $2.-
900 right off the reel. A place the
size of Pendleton that can do these
things is not in such a bad way"
In other places visited it was Mr.;
Kaser's observation that the people
were looking after their own rights
and letting nothing escape them that
would increase the growth or i'm
prove theim respective cities. In local
municipal affairs factionalism was
not approved of by the majority,
} rather loyalty and unanimity of ac-
ton were the things that received the
, highest favor. 4
Said Mr.. Kaser:
I'm glad l took the trip II for no
. other reason than that it has more
than convinced me that the towns sur

until they could get 25 cents a pound,
are now Fastening to cover and are
exhibiting anxiety to dispose of their
clips at what figures they can get.
Governor Goodings clip consists of 10
carloads or about 10000 pounds, and
for this he did not receive, it is said,
anything like % cents a pound. Fig
ures quoted yesterday morning, at
which it is thought he sold, were
around 21ls cents a pound. The ball
ance of the Idaho woolgrowers are
expected to sell this week now that
the deadlock is effectually broken.

Tobacco Notes

Frank Baines of GAINESVILLE compared
notes with Edgerton dealers Saturday.
Remember the tobacco growers con-
vention at Madison next week. Of course
you will attend!
w. T. Jefferson, state manager of the
American Cigar Co. at Madison, was a
visitor in Edgerton Tuesday
One of the largest tobacco warehouses
in the state is just about completed at
Lodi to be occupied by the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. in handling this sea-
sons purchases.
Packers should bear in mind that this
office carries full line of warehouse
supplies. Send to us for packing books,
weigh books, time cards, tags, Irvine or
tools used in the business.
Putting the warehouses in shape for
the sorting season is now the order OF
the day with the packers. A few are
anxious to start as soon as sufficient to-
bacco is delivered to ensure steady run.
John Kurtz of Pittsville sends US a
sample of Wood county tobacco, raised
by VIM. Rederman, which is very leafy
and thin. Next year it is expected that
100 acres will be grown in that section.
Mr.. E. L. Goslinsky, San Francisco
leaf dealer, was visitor in this market
short time during the week enroute for
Lancaster and New York to purchase
stock for his trade. His store and stock
we're completely wiped out by the fire,
but he reports that business is resuming
it's usual volume again now.
Mr.. M. J. McDonough has sold his in
terest in the McDonough Cigar Go. to
his partner, Jos. Leary, and has entered
the employ of the American Cigar Co.
as buyer and foreman Of the Edgerton
branch. His experience in the tobacco
business will make him valuable addi-
ton to the force of the company at this
point.
Railway carpenters have been at work
this week repairing the damage to the
United Cigar Manufacturers warehouse
caused by the freight wreck. Not only
is large hole in the side of the brick
wall to be repaired, but timbers and
joist have to be replaced, floor relaid,
etc. 1t will require several hundred dol
lars to make good the damage

Obituary.
BYRON VAUGHN.

Byron Vaughn, for many years resi-
dent of Edgerton, died at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Frank Ayres, in James
Vile about 6 o'clock Monday morning.
The deceased had been in poor health
for some months past, and being aware
tnat he had but short time to live,
came from Sioux Falls few weeks ago
to pass the declining days with his sister.
He was born in the town of Fulton Nov.
Is, 1858, being son of Jerome and
Euphenia Vaughn, who were among the
early settlers of that township. He was
united in marriage to Miss Mary Gates
in Albion Feb. 27, 1885, and continued to
reside in this locality for several years
thereafter. At one time, in company
with his brother, he conducted livery
stable in Edgerton for time. In the
early COS the family removed to Sioux
Falls, S. d.. which has since been his
home until his removal to GAINESVILLE
Mrs. Vaughs death occurred about Is
months ago, the remains being brought
here for interment in Fassett cemetery
Two children survive, son and a
daughter, living in Sioux Falls.
The remains were brought here by
train Wednesday morning and funeral
services were held from the Congrega-
tional church. Rev. L. A. Parr officiating
and interment took place in the family
lot in F'assett cemetery.

Another True Fish Story.

The carp fishers operating in Lake
Koshkonong find it almost gold mine
and are working it strong before winter
closes in the lake. One of the largest
hauls of carp on record in this part of
the country was recently made by ''Ted"
Carroll, a professional fisherman, at this
lake. Between forty and fifty thousand
pounds of the German fish were taken
from the seine after one reeling and it is
estimated that some forty or fifty thous-
and pounds escaped. A rough wind
made the net unmanageable and just
half the original haul went back into the
lake over the top of the netting. Many
of the fish weighed as high as twenty
five pounds apiece. Mr.. Carroll, who
has been fishing throughout southern
Wisconsin and northern Illinois for
many years past, was at one time in the
employ of New York concern and for
them conducted the famous wholesale
SEEMING at Koshkonong last year and the
season before.

Buys Inc Lake Shore Home,

Willard S. Heddles, secretary and
treasurer of the Birmingham & Hixon
Lumber company, and also of the He'd
dies Lumber company, has purchased
from Mrs. Mary A. Newman the fine lake
shore residence property at Wisconsin
avenue and Langdon street, and will
take possession next August. The prop
erty is one of the most desirable in the
city. 1t is sc feet on Langdon street
and runs back some 325 feet to the lake
shore. There is now upon it handsome
two-story brick residence, and the cor
ner is most slightly. The late Justice
Newman bought this property about a
dozen years ago, paying some $4,000.
While the price paid by Mr.. Heddles is
not made public, it must be upwards of
$2O,0OO as it is known that Mrs New
man recently refused an offer of that
figure.
Mr.. Heddles was formerly prominent
resident of Edgerton, but now lives in
Madison. where his business makes his
residence necessary. He has wife and
two daughters, of and Is years. The
children will have the advantage of the
superior educational facilities that Mad
ison affords Madison Democrat.
