Esthervile, July Men travelling
over the same territory or people liv-
ing in the same town year after year
do not realize the changes that are go
ing on around them, as much as the
man who visits place after lapse Of
years. Such was my experience in
northwestern Iowa since 1893 Towns
have bean visited by fires and have
been rebuilt with better buildings and
additional streets are occupied by bus
mess houses
But perhaps the most striking Of ali
the places | visited was Baskerville.
On my last visit there We're about 1000
people living in Estherville the build
ings were such as are ordinarily found
in smaller towns frame story and a.
half with an occasional brick, whereas
today Estherville has over 1000 people;
her streets are built up with three
story brick blocks, a beautiful library
stands in the park fine residences are
to be seen on all sides The store
buildings are all occupied and everyone
seems TO be doing a good business. Ii

The nature of my business takes me
into all kinds of stores, offices, black
smith shops lumber yards, etc. In all
of these places l am accorded kind,
courteous treatment, even tho every
body does not buy what I have to sell,
yet in northwest Iowa | am treated
just as We'll as tho was buyer in
stead of seller. l was impressed
this would be a nice place to live.
presume others found it the same way.
They all boost for Baskerville, and
together. 1t may be the railroads have
helped it some. There are only a few
towns with equal train facilities. There
are lat towns that can be reached
each day by the way freights going
out. Esthervile with her push and
location is bound to be big town in
northern Iowa.

liam Henry Jay, known as the Hermit
Mser" died Monday. He was apparent
~ destitute. and was clothed in rags but
it is reported that he was worth from
$1,000 to $1,000. He lived in little

He is said to have made his living from
a strawberry patch which was patronized
by wealthy residents of Garden City. The
house in which he lived is a shanty. the
ground floor answering all living pur-
poses. with a ramshackle cot in the corner
on which he slept most of his life. and
on which he finally died. Though the
clothes in which he died hardly hung
together. a new suit OF fine underwear
was carefully laid away.
