last year? Why not spend your time
determining a better method of SELL

every patriotic citizen who can posi-
bly, do so should take advantage of. to
see the most powerful squadron of war
vessels which has ever plowed the
waters of the Pacific, if not the most
powerful which has ever been assem-

According to an interesting article
in the Review of Reviews for April.
on 'fThe Greatest Naval Cruise
of Modern Times,' ''The money
expended to create each of the sixteen
armored clads is equivalent to the
endowment. the buildings. and the
total academic equipment of an i'm
portant university. The ship Of low
est cost in the feet is the IL, 500 ton
Illinois, which represents total ex-
penditure of 81. 621. 600. The ship of
highest cost is Admiral Evans flag
ship. the 16. 900 ton Connecticut, and
the only vessel of the fleet built in a
navy yard, that at Brooklyn. She rep
resents an expenditure of 81. GIT, 900.
or 1857. 900 more than her sister ship.
the Louisiana. constructed in the great
private shipyard at Newport News.
"The aggregate cost of the sixteen
battleships is 500. COG. 600. OF little
less than the total sum expended on
account of the United States Navy in
a single year. Our entire battlesbip
fleet, built and building, numbers

ster new ships of the Dreadnought
class. but superior to the Dreadnought
in size and power; the 20, 900 ton

Newport News. and her giant sister,
the North Dakota, at Fore River.
''These sixteen battleships require
for their maintenance a total expsndi-
ture of 80, AT. 900 year. or little
more than s25. 900 every day. The
charge for each ship ranges from
$479, 900 year for the IL, 500 ton
Illinois to 1925. 900 q year for the 16. :
600 ton Louisiana. This cost Of main
tenance includes as its largest item
the pay of the officers and crew. Thus,
the forty officers and 500 men Of the
new Maine receive In compensation
every year 1928. 900 from the Govern
ment. The expenditures Of the Maine
on ordnance account. according to the

engineering, s58. 900; on repairs to
hull. machinery, and equipage. $50,
600. On other ships Of the same type

Of maintenance stand in very much the

PROHIBITION AND LOCAL OPTION

The Review of Reviews for April
contains an interesting and instruct
i've article by Ferdinand Cowle Igle-
hart on ssThe Nations Anti-Drink
Crusade. The author is evidently
an enthusiastic supporter of local op-
ton and writes from the optimistic
standpoint of one who believes that
it is the most effective instrument to
use in the work of eliminating or
minimizing the political and social
evils for which the liquor traffic is
generally considered as largely re-
sponsible. Illustrating the effective
ness of local option as compared
with prohibition, Mr.. lglehart says:
"This is not the first wave of pro-
hibition that has swept over the coun-
try. Fifty-fou years ago there was
one that swept over the Northern
States with as great violence as the
one that is now passing over the
South. Then Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut. New York, Delaware, Michi-
gan. Indiana. and Iowa. by acts of
their legislatures, forbade the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
as beverage. Nine Northern States
went "dry" in a single year, the
year 1855.
s'The liquor men. dazed and fright
ened at the revolution, set themselves
desperately to resist it. By one pre-
tense or another there was widespread
notification of prohibition. One
State after another receded from its
radical action. until all adopted the
system of license. So that. up to
a year ago, of the eighteen States that
had tried the experiment of prohibi-
ton only three. Maine, Kansas, and
North Dakota. in the
ranks. they having adopted constitu-
tional prohibition.
"Will the present prohibition legis-
lation be ephemeral like that of half
a century ago or will it be perma-
nent? There is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be permanent. There
were more elements of permanency

COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS a.
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Jan. 25.-The Black pa
mond today says:
Weather conditions plus the infiu-
ence Of the period of depression still
dictate the state of the coal market.
The weather was cold enough during
three days of the last week, to cause
some little increase in tine consump-
ton, and the stocks, of some, domestic
Goals were fairly well cleaned up. The
heavy shipments into this territory
more than Offset the influence of the
colder weather and consequently the
market is back at the some position
as it was before, showing such weak
ness as to leave a veryy decided inn
preston that there is no bottom to
the market now. ., 4ai !.
Enthusiastically the weakest spot
is where the shipments have been
the heaviest and without regard TO
the demand, namely, in the smokeless
coal trade. Since it is apparent that
grade of coal is strong or weak ac-
cording as shippers restrict the outp@t
to the needs of the market or disre-
gard market conditions, it would seem
that the members of the trade should
come to realization that Chicago can.
not obsorb an unlimited amount OF
COAL The situation in screenings en-
phasizes the position of the coal trade
in general. Under ordinary circum.
stances a reduction in the output OF
lump automatically strengthens the de-
mand for screenings as the supply is
reduced. Although lump coal sales are
reduced to the minimum screenings
are barely steady, but not showing
anything of the extraordinary demand
which is expected at this time of the
year. This points conclulsively to the
fact that industrial activity has been
curtailed to such an extent that it
does not require anywhere, near the
usual amount of screenings to supply
the demand.

BRIDGE IS ACCEPTED
New Structure Over Skunk River
Satisfactory To Supervisors.

The county supervisors have accept
ed the new bridge across the Skunk
river near Blyth. A special trip for
the purpose of inspecting the con-
struction and the work of the contract
ors was made by the Board. The
structure was found to be entirely sat
isfactory and the work having met
with the approval of the supervisors,
they returned to the city and allowed
the bill of the contractors for about
$4,000 The bridge was built by the
J. X. Barkroft Co., of Des Moines, and
is considered by .hose who have seen
it to be one of the most substantial
and serviceable structures spanning
the Skunk river. The piers were com
pleted about month or two ago, be
fore the steel work arrived, but the
body of the bridge was completed only
last week, having been built within
ten days time.
The Board of Supervisors yesterday
completed the work of going over the
transcripts of the justices of the peace
and today are engaged in allowing
bills and other miscellaneous bust
ness. '

CYRUS BEEDEB DEAD.
Prominent Citizen of oskaloosa
Called to His Reward.

The city of Oskaloosa was, grieyed
this morning to learn of the death
of Cyrus Beede at his home, Two
Terrace" No. 433 North Market
street, which occurred Monday night
at 1915 o'clock, Jan. "a, 1908. The
gentleman had been confined to his
home by illness during the past two
weeks or more, but until few days
ago his illness was not considered of
ia serious character. The gentleman
has not been in good health for some
months, but he has kept up and go
ing" and would not give up to any
feeling of ordinary Illness. He has
been gradually failing for months and
death ensued from complications orig
mating in senile degeneration.
The funeral will be held from the
late home on North Market street, at
two-thirty O'Clock p. m. Thursday,
and interment viii be made in For
est cemetery.
A memorial service in honor of the
departed will be held at Penn college
chapel Sunday afternoon at two-thirty
o'clock under the direction of the
Board of Trustees of Penn college,
of which body he was n member.
Cyrus Beede was regarded as a
pioneer of Oskaloosa, although the
work to which the major part of his
later life had been devoted took him
into other parts of the land. Oska-
loosa was his home and he claimed
citizenship here. He was man of
wonderful mentality and power, pos
sessed Of an indomitable will and a
breadth of vision that gave him un-
usual capability in whatever direction
