TVVIlI HAY AND GRASS.

The edi o.iais Of election week are
always the hardest to write. To-
morrow. we are writing TINS on Tues
day, v q Shall know whether to rejoice
or to mourn. whether to brag or 10
apo ogize. 1t is possible the re-
publicans may have the scare of
their lives at least and it is possible
that the contest NAV be so close that
as in the Blaiae- Cleveland campaign
each side may think itself the victor
TIE Review has no regrets as to
its course. 1t has supported party
principles, rather than particular cam
,iidates and it has done nothing to stir
up fractional strife i'll the party ranks.
At the beginning OF the campaign
nearly all the papers agreed to elm
mate the senatorial tight from discus
sion. the Review was one of the very
few that kept its word.
The campaign in this county has
been remarkably free from personali-
ties and we feel that the Review has
contributed its share to this happy
result by the temperance of its state
ments.
By order OF the county central com
mittee the Review has reached many
new readers in the county. We trust
they have been pleased with the Re-
view as newspaper and have found
that while a Jealous partisan the Re-
view had endeavored to be fair and
honest.
We rejoice that for two years to
come we can devote ourselves to the
news and to our people. We expect
to keep right on giving our readers
the best county newspaper in Iowa
and we are glad that the long breath
ing spell from policis will give parti
san heat a chance to cool, and the
many things which we have in com
mon to come 10 the fore, rather than
the few things concerning which we
disagree. We have so many things
in common. The joys and the sor-
rows of life are common heritages,
sympathy, kindness. helpfulness
one towards another. Good roads,
good schools, good health. good citi
zenship. good morals and good will
Let US cultivate the GOOD things
of life and devote the next two years
to an effort to bring something OF
brightness and betterment to cur
selves and others.
The Review thanks its democratic
friends for the patience with which
they have given it hearing. This
Review appreciates their friendship
and hopes never to forfeit their re-
spect and confidence.

JUST RIGHT FOR RICE
Coast Lands Of Texas Are Almost Universally
Rice Lands.

The coast lands of Texas have ad-
vantages superior to any in the world.
The quality of the lands is of high
order. Give them good tillage and
care and they will produce as large
crops Of rice rs can be grown on the
most fertile acres of any country.
Such is the opinion of DR.. S. A.
Knapp, the United States Department
of Agriculture rice expert. who IS
conceded to be The best authority on
the subject.
Transportation is low, because the
railroad facilities are excellent, and
all sections are but a short distance
from the gulf ports. The climate is
genial and healthful. The majority
of the settlers are sturdy, progressive
Americans, who will have good high
ways, schools and churches. with such
facilities for rapid communication as
meet the requirements of modern civ
ilizaton. The average value of
the rice crop exceeds $50 an acre,
raised on land costing from SIS to
$50 an acre. Often the crop
pays for the land on one year.
Rice may be planted as early as April
and as late as June. Seeding re-
quires about eighty pounds per acre.
After the rice stools the water is
turned on for seventy to ninety days,
and there is little to do until harvest.
The rice is carefully shocked and
threshed when Dry. Harvesting COM
mences the last Of August.
The cost of producing crop Of
rice is approximately the same as
wheat. with the cost of irrigation
added, which is one-fifth of the crop.
The average yield is 20 sacks to the
acre. worth about SO SO per sack.
Rice when properly cultivated is
the most certain crop of all the cere-
ais, the water of irrigation furnish
ing material amount OF plant food.
There need be no fear of competi-
tion from the Orient. On the prairie

soon occupy the same position in the
Southland that wheat does in the
North.
There are now nearly fifty rice

tors erected. the crop having hereto
fore been handled in sacks, a more
expensive way.

Mr.. Call was born in Huron coun-
ty. Ohio. June 9. 1888 He came OF
ReVolpt onary stock. his grandfather
having been a soldier of the Revolu-
tionarv war and his father soldier

10 Ambrose left home to make his
own way in life. When but II he
established news depot at Datyon.
Ohio, and conducted it successfully
for some time. He attended bust
ness college for a time ami then went
to find what the great west might
have in store for him. He went t.
the head of the st. Croix river in
/ Wisconsin. and about that time.
in 1854. his elder brother. Asa C. Call,
had returned overland' from Cali
fornia, where the great gold craze
had been raging. The elder brother
had scheme Of establishing a new
settlement in Iowa and he soon per-
suaded Ambrose to join him in the
! enterprise. The two brothers pushed
their way to Fort Dodge, then the
outpost Of civilization, and then
north to kossuth county and to where
Algona now stands. They were the
first settlers here. and the place was
called for time Calls Grove.
This was the first settlement north
of Fort Dodge and west of Clear
Lake. The brothers We're fearless
and enterprising pioneers and they
did what they could to attract settlers
to this place and to develop its re
sources. The elder brother dice
about twenty wears ago. and now the
younger of the two founders of Al
gona has also paid the debt of ma
ture. Mr.. Call was a rugged mar
physically and mentally and was
thoroughly self dependent. He en-
gagged in farming in the early time
and continued it to the end. He
established the first newspaper in 1866
and edited it for time and was
finally succeeded by Mrs. Lizzie B
Read. He engaged in the star route

became the most extensive contractor
i'll the whole country. Since the
government changed its policy tev
years ago and let the contracts direct
further than looking after his farm
and banking interests.

STRENGTHENING OUT The BOYER
Down in Harrison County the Plan is to Make
New Channel.

The land owners down in Harrison
county. along the Boyer seem in
earnest in their determination to fix
that crooked stream SO it will not
overflow its banks and cover the sur
rounding fields with water. On in
vestigation they find that it will be
best to make new channel. indepen-
dent of the old. Where the water can
make straight shoot it will run off
faster and with more current. and this
will keep the bed from filling up with
sediment The proposition of straight
ening out the river is worthy of con-
sideration in this county.

GONE FOREVER.

A farmer put his initials on a
dollar bill. The next day he went
to the nearest town and spent it with
a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the dollar came
back to him for produce, and three
times he heard of it in the pockets of
his neighbors. The last time he got
it back was four years ago. He
sent it to the mail order house. He
has never seen it since, and never
will. That dollar bill will never
pay any more school or road tax for
him, will never build or brighten any
of the homes of the community
He sent it entirely out of the useful
ness of himself and his neighbors.

friendly, attitude of the United States.
1t is deeper and more genuine feel
ing than that customarily expressed in
the honeyed phrases of diplomatic in
tercourse.
The attitude of certain class of
alarmists in the United States came
to the japanese as blow in the face
from a brother. The Japanese people
cannot believe that the masses of the
Americans really understand what they
are about, and they regret that such a
spirit should be engendered which may
bring about rupture in the affection
ate relations which have existed for
fifty years. Why should the Ameri-
cans close their own door and then
talk so bravely about the open door in
the East9
When Japan first came into the in
ternational school, where all the great
powers were at study, the boy in a
glorious kimono was welcomed by all
the, others, but especially by the boy
called Uncle Sam. Little Almond Eyes
was an apt pupil, and all the bigger
boys helped him with his lessons,
taught him how to wear their clothes
and how to fight in their fashion.
When one big bully of stupid boy at
tempted to grab all the apples in Mr..
Chinaman s orchard, where none of the
boys had an invitation to come, Little
Almond Eyes gave him a good trounc-
ing. The other boys cheered him and
talked admiringly about the pluck of
the little brown chap. But when Lit
tie Almond Eyes insisted upon having
his say about the distribution of the
apples-that was quite another story.
No longer did the bigger boys pet him.
Little Almond Eyes has lost his popu-
Iarity by playing the game as the
others taught him to play it. Now
they frown at him and call him the
Yellow Peril.

4 persons aboard the cannery ship Star
of Bengal were drowned last Sunday
afternoon WHEEL the vessel was torn
from the hold of tugs and dashed
ashore at Helm Point at the southeast
end of Cornation Island. The news
was brought by the tug Hattie Gage,
Capt. Farrer. which carried the sur
vivors. twenty-seven in ALL The sur
vivors, before leaving Cornation Is
land. buried the bodies or fifteen
white men on the beach. The cable
ship Burnside, which left for the scene
of the wreck at midnight Monday, as
soon as the news was received, re-
turned last evening with the news
that the Star of Bengal was total
loss. only the ends of the masts show
ing above water.
The ship was being towed to sea
from the Grangel Cannery by the tugs
Hattie Gage and Kayak. Capt Far
rer, of the Hattie Gage, gives the fol-
lowing account of the disaster:
"As we came within reach of the
gale we could see we were making
leeway and drifting toward Cornation
Island. The Kayak was light and
could do nothing. The Hattie Gage
could not handle the ship alone. We
could see the vessel dimly by the
PHOSPHORUS dark rocks that were all
around We cut the tow line and
steamed out into open water, but could
not see anything in the driving rain
except one blue light burning on the
ship The storm increased and the
tugs steamed to Shipley Bay, twenty
six miles away"
Survivors Muir and Olson said Che
ship sank about 9 o'clock after break
ing into three pieces. The surf was
full of salmon cases and gasoline
drums.
Muir says he and Olson got a boat
off and went ashore through the
wreckage. They helped several ashore
and pulled Capt. Wagner out of the
wreckage. He could not speak. The
breaches buoy was rugged to tree,
but the ship was swaying so that the
line was alternately loose and tight,
making it impossible to use. The
ships books and papers were found
on the beach. One man had matches
and fire was built from kerosene
from the wreck The fire saved the
lives of the survivors, as 1t kept them
from freezing.

HASKELL MAY
Be FORCED OUT
SEVERAL MEMBERS or DEMO
CRATIC COMMITTEE URGING
HIS REMOVAL.
PRAIRIs OIL AFFAIR THE CAUSE
Rumored Connection With Failed
co0eerns Does Not Set Well
With Party Leaders.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-It became
known at Democratic National Head
quarters tonight that several commit
teemen are preparing to use every In
fiuence to bring the removal Of Gov.
Charles y. Haskell from the Office of
Treasurer OF the National Committee.
This is a result of the publication
of charges that Mr.. Haskell, as Gov
ernor of Oklahoma. declined to permit
the State to prosecute the Prairie oil
Company. a subsidiary company of
the Standard Oil Compony.
Charges that Gov. Haskell had been
identified with several railroad promo
lions in this city which are said to
have been unfortunate in the matter
Of consummation, are said tonight to
have also tended to increase the feel
ings of these National Committeeman
that the time has about come for Gov.
Haskell to resign from the committee
or be removed.
Pending consideration of the reply
of President Roosevelt to William j..
Bryan's letter asking that the Presi-
dent show proof of the charges made,
National Chairman Mack is taking no
action in the matter, nor would he
state tonight what the outcome might
be with reference to the Haskell mat
ter, though his attitude is known to
be such as to oppose the continuance
on the committee of any man whose
Affiliations are proved to be with cor
porations which are opposed by Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Mack said tonight that
he had had no communication with
Mr.. Bryan or Gov. Haskell on the mat
ter, and that he would take no action
unless President Roosevelt brought
absolute proof of the charges.
1t was made plain by National Com
mitteemen tonight tht when Gov.
Haskell was selected as Treasurer of
the committee, there was not the
slightest knowledge that any charge
or suggestion could be made against
him with regard to his attitude or re-
ported connection with railroad pro-
motions, and that Mr.. Bryan himself
had no knowledge of the matter.
Chairman Mack declared today that
If the charges against Gov. Haskell
were proved he would expect him to
resign.
