largest crowds which 1t would be pos
sible to bring here.
The Greenoughi property, just west
of the Mcneil lot. which is now oc-
cupied by the Evans poultry and egg
house, will certainly be removed in
the near future. With these two pro-
perties united the whole quarter block
could be obtained and the proper kind
of building erected which would De
a credit to the city. A row of Office
rooms could encircle the auditorium
room in the center on the first and
second floors, leaving the room two
stories high, with suitable galleries
and seating accommodations. Above
this Office rooms and lodge quarters
could be fitted up and put to good adj
vantage. The large auditorium room
would be a convenient accommodation
for the armory, and if 1t were so ar
ranged considerable aid could probably
be secured from the state for its cree
ton.
A stock company could easily be
formed to forward this enterprise and
both farmers and townspeople would
surely sympathize with this plan and
offer their assistance.
Who will start the movement?

oskALoosA,s OPPORTUNITY.

For years Oskaloosans have talked
and planned for an auditorium and
armory building with a capacity suf-
ficient to accommodate the numerous
gatherings which frequently overcrowd
the opera house and church buildings
of the city. At one time Architect
Frank Wetherell drew up plans for
such a building and aroused the inter
est of the people to the point of ac-
ton, but all plans were knocked in
the head by the lack of suitable 10
cation. What better opportunity could
have been offered than by the lot now
made vacant by the destruction of the
Mcneil building? A revival of the
old-time enthusiasm in regard to the
erection of such a structure would be
an index of the progressive spirit
which is a necessary constituent of a
prosperous community.
In one instance in particular the
whole county is brought to the real
ization of the inadequate facilities of
fered in the city along this line each
year; at the farmers institute Every
winter the court house has been filed
TO overlooking with the exhibits of
farmers and manufacturers, the quail
ity of which would warrant much
more prominent display. This annual
event viii again be carried out next
January and all will agree that it is
an institution which exerts a positive
influence towards building up the city
and county by bringing the merchants
in touch with the farmers and their
work, and the farmers in touch with
the manufacturers and the distin-
gushing qualities of their products.
1t stimulates the spirit Of trading at
home and adyertises TO the outside
public the enterprise which is back
ing our efforts to build up Greater
oskaloosa. But the success of the
institute has always been limited by
the capacity Of the building in winch
1t is held
Then again there are many other
events each year which are carried
out with only partial success because
of the lack OF suitable accommodations
for the crowds which would be at
tracted TO the city If the proposed
plans were followed. Not only have
past efforts been thwarted by our in
adequate facilities in this regard, but
in the future this difficulty will be felt
more and more. oskaloosa has gain
ed a wide reputation over the state
for its successful efforts in entertain
ing state and national conventions
and many large gatherings could be
brought here IL We could but accom-
modate them. The only solution Of
the problem Is the erection OF an au-
ditorlum sufficiently large to seat the

THE couNTRY,s WEALTH.

In recent article in the Circle mag
azine, James w. Van Cleave, president
of the National Association of manu-
facturers. contributed an article enti.
tied, Why Prosperity WIN Continue. =
One reason he advanced for the coun.
try's prosperous condition was the
greatly increased production of manu-
features, minerals and agricultural
produce, giving these figures to en-
phasize the nations resources:
while the United States has only
per cent of the worlds population,
it produces 20 per cent of the world S
wheat, 20 per cent Of its gold, 33 per
cent of its coal, 35 per cent of its
manufactures, 80 per cent of its sill
yer, 40 per cent of it's iron, AZ per cent
of its steel So per cent of its petrol
cum, IS per cent of its copper, 20 per
cent of its cotton, and so per cent of
its corn"
Some of the figures excited surprise
among many who read them, and
some were inclined to question their
authenticity Mr.. Van Cleve now re-
spends by publishing the following fig
ures from the latest and most reliable
data which can be secured:

Mr.. Van Cleaye takes the position
that American prosperity will con-
tipue because in many of the products
above mentioned the natural resources
of the United States have only been
touched and the nations ascendancy
is more likely to increase than de-
crease. incidentally. also, Mr. Van
Cleave points out that this exhibit
shows that, notwithstanding Wall
streets tremors, and the shrinkage in
some of the country's activities, our
prosperity is certain to continue.

LAMP CAUSED FIRE.
A Second Similar Occurrence On
North Market Street.

The fire department was called
early last evening to the Geo. w. Gil
bert residence, 633 North Market st.
One of the Gilbert family had gone up
stairs to the store room to look for
some articles. They carried kero-
sene lamp with handle on the side.
The handle separated form the lamp
and the kerosene was thrown over the
floor similar to the Rowe fire Sunday
evening. The flames communicated
to straw tick in the room which was
destroyed. Other articles in the
room were also ought on fire. The
fire department made quick run to
the place and assisted the bucket
brigade in putting out the flames.

THE VALUE OF PROTECTION.

A local paper cites an object lesson
In Dent county, Missouri, which teach
es the value of protection to American
workingmen. An extensive manufac-
turing plant there costing nearly $500
000 and employing several hundred
men was shut down permanently be.
cause congress, in its lack of wisdom,
perhaps, has provided for a lighter
duty on denatured alcohol than ought
to have been fixed for the protection
of American manufacturers of that
useful Industrial article. The plant re
ferred to was intended to manufac-
ture alcohol for fuel in the great iron
plant which the company operates,
and had been thus engaged for several
months, till the company found that
they could buy the alcohol, delivered
at their plant, for two cents per gallon
less than they can manufacture 1T I'M
der the most favorable local condi-
tons. The product comes from for
eign markets, is shipped across the
ocean and is sold in this country
cheaper than it can be made here, af.
ter paying a duty which was thought
to be high enough to keep it out Of
competition with American producers.
The conpany's plant stands idle and
its employees are turned away because
they cannot compete with the cheap
labor ard cheap materials of an Euro
pean country
