Northern Wisconsin Prospects,

From advertising matter sent
out from the capital at Madison by
the state board of immigra ton, the
homeseeker may learn that Wiscon-
Gin tobacco at $500 to $3.50 an acre
is more profita BILE than prairie wheat
at - to $lZ an acre. A. *, Aspens
of Bruce, Rusk county, writes that
his five acre tobacco crop will more
than pay for his 80 acres of land
and that he considers his land sup
erior even to Southern Wisconsin
for tobacco. Other northern coun-
ties are reporting equally handsome
tobacco returns.
Sugar beets too, bring $50 to 800
per acre. 1t is the dairy. tobacco
and sugar beets that will make Wis.
consin famous. Low priced lands of
the finest loamy clay soil still
remain available to settlers in the
northern countries and in q few
more years cannot be bought for less
than 500 an acre.
In dairy products Wisconsin
stands first of all American states;
in corn, it has the highest average
per acre in America; in tobacco,
leads all the lar5est producing state
in income per acre; in sugar beets,
has soil and climate especially adapt
ed to their culture Such is the rec
ord already established, 1t can be
and will be no doubt surpassed in a
few years oy record even better.

Raising Strawberries.

The strawberry business in
the immediate vicinity of this
city and thl oughout Bayfield,
county has been increasing to
large proportions the past few
years and the coming season the
mum Der of plants to be set out
will be something enormous.
There are a great many people
setting out small patches and
some are going into the business
on large scale. Handchet
Bros. will this season set out
10000 plants and Louis Lavoy
will put out 10000. E. @. Stew
ems will have 5000. Charles
Ivans 1000 and Jonathan Hill
1000. In nearly every case
these men have tried the fruit
and have found that they can
make big money out of it. They
are all of the belief that this sec
ton will some day be one of the
greatest for the raising of small
fruits in the United States. The
strawberry cropis always sure
one and the close market at hand
makes it so that they can get the
highest prices for their pro
ducts.

VIEWS GRAVE OF MOTHER


Surrounded by numerous punches of
hazel brush, with every indication of
decay and inattention, Private Will
liam Cade of Fall City, Neb., discover
ed the grave of his deceased mother
Saturday after search Of three days.
Veteran Cade came to this city to
attend the recent reunion of his old
comrades of the 36th Iowa infantry
and to investigate the burial spot of
his mother, who departed this life in
1851. After securing the Ottumwa
cemetery, the veteran soldier Journey
ed out to the old Hale cemetery some
distance north of the present burial
ground, and there, almost completely
submerged in grasses, he discovered
the tombstone that indicated the rest
ing place of his mother. Along with
the grave were those of his former
comrades Sylvester Carr and Girls
Nosler. Mr.. Cade has made arrange.
ments for improvement to his moth
er's plat SO that it will have some
appearance of containing the remains
of his parent, despite the fact that the
surroundings show nothing but de-
cay.

me refer briefly to some of the things
that Republican rule has done For
the protection of all the people, the
Republican congress has passed the
interstate commerce act, the anti
trust measure, an amendment to the
law governing the operation of rail-
roads, and numerous other good laws.
This amendment provides that no
railroad can own and operate coal

private or corporate consumers other
than themselves. This eliminates the

HORSES SIS TO S25 PER HEAD

That is the way the Drover's Journal
quoted prices at Chicago last week
70 to $25 per head lower than in
September, and September was lower
than August. Ed Grant writes me
that his last load from Ottumwa, two
weeks ago, sold for $3.50 less in Chi

them and get out. So in the face of
such conditions and after receiving
such letters Friday morning, with $50
horses on our hands and not a Chicago
buyer here, 1t is stating it mildly to say
! was uneasy. But the sale opened and
1t developed that we had In attendance
an unusual number of buyers direct
from the eastern markets; everybody
was surprised at the strength of the
sale in the face of such market condi-
tons. We had three good buyers for
Chicago here. two for New York, one
for Pennsylvania, one for St Louis, be-
sides lot Of scattering buyers, and
the sale was much better than antici-
pated. 1t was another demonstration
OF the fact that in building up the OF
tumWa horse market to be the largest
native horse market west OF the nlls-
sissippi, and we have achieved for ii
such great reputation throughout the
eastern states that our Iowa horse
men and farmers are thus enabled to
sell their stock directly to the eastern
buyers and save to themselves the
profits Of the middlemen
True, horses are lower here and
every where than they were last year
and lower than they were last month
but the point is, no matter where prices
in general may go the Ottumwa market
dealing directly with the eastern and
southern buyers, will always be found
little in the lead of all others.

the impulse of good Republican doc
trine, he has aided the great western
continent to make greater strides for
more sovereignty. In our own state
every elective office is nominated by
the people. Every voter goes to the
polls and with free, unprecedented
mind, exerting his best Judgment,
casts his ballot, electing a choice, and
yet the Democratic candidate asks,
shall the people ruler 1t is not a
candid way to reach the voters. 1t is
simply an effort to play upon the sym
pathies of the voters in a manner ur-
becoming man that wants to rule.
The Democratic candidate comes with
an argument peculiarly improper from
party with peculiar misfortunes,
but couched in a beauteous appeal,
and he believes that the sympathies of
the voters will be played upon to
such an extent as to result in his
election. l had the pleasure of look
ing over a census report recently IN
which | found the result Of former
elections and these figures met my
gaze: First, in Iowa in 1904, 485,703
voters marched to the polls and cast
their ballots for the president Of the
United States. This year there will
be no substantial difference in the
total vote. These 485,000 voters will
pause long enough from their daily
vocations to vote upon November 3
A month or SO later, there will be
named at Des Moines thirteen cleo
tors to represent these $4,000 voters
/ and these thirteen votes will be cast
for William II. Taft for the presiden
cy. Four years ago in Florida, Ala
bama. Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, there were total Of 474,02e
votes cast, 1900 less than was cast
in Iowa alone, yet the 4S5 900 of lowe
will cast but thirteen votes for w. Fl
Taft, while the total vote of these five
southern states will give w. j. Bry
an total of So electoral votes, and
thus in these states the 475.000 voters
will have more power than the 4S5,00(
of Iowa, and vet Mr.. Bryan asks
shall the people ruler If | expected tc
be benefited by a law of that kind,
would not be going about the country
asking the question shall the people
ruler
| ~ think it an Infamous outrage tina
the vast majority OF men In the soutf
do not enjoy the God-given right o
| franchise and I want to say that
stand for protection as guaranteed By
the constitution, which gives all tht
privileges Of freedom under these
| Stars and Stripes. No wonder | show
some Indignation when Mr.. BRYAN b.
alluring and honey-toned words in
quires shall the people ruler In Re
publican states the people do rule
| Let Mr. Bryan answer for the Demo
cratic states. You do not have to talk
Iowa alone. In Michigan four year,
ago there was total vote of 520,43'
cast, and this state will Civ
the same to w. Fl. Taft. Fourteen cleo
toral votes were cast. The total o
10000 votes in Florida and Louisiana
will give w. ]. Bryan a total of i
electoral votes. Yet the question i
asked shall the people rule?
