There seems no doubt that we are on
the verge Of a revival of business
that it has already begun; but there
are plenty of people in this country at
present for all necessary activities.
This is a land of opportunity, but
not one where every arrival may make
a fortune. 1t is lamentable that there
is an opinion in certain parts Of Italy,
Austro- Hungary and Russia that one
has only to come here to find wealth.
The receding flood has carried hundred
of thousands back, many of whom will
never return. The astounding thing is
that we have been able to assimi1ate
the millions who have remained. The
next wave of immigration should go to
the south or the west. The country east
Of the Mississippi is pretty well pro-
vided with population for the present.

Stockers and Feeders.

| Little change was noted in feeder
trade compared with week ago. In
the feeder division dealers have fairly
liberal supplies of plain and medium
stockers and feeders, but a scarcity of
really good kinds is noted. Demand
for the latter was small, however, and
there were plenty to go around The
common light horned stockers were
hardest to move, late low prices for
these having failed to stir up any very
active demand from any quarter. Fly
time is always a poor season for sell
ing the horned stockers, few buyers
wishing them, as after dehorning the
cattle make poor gains. but those who
would buy light horned steers and run
them on grass until fall months. the
traders say. would likely find later on
that they had got some pretty good
bargains. High-priced feed is deter
rent to Improvement in the demand for
medium to good feeders, and the dry.
hot weather, handicap to corn
growth, is another factor which tends
to hold down buying orders.
There has been small attendance of
outside buyers and not many of the
local order buyers were in the trade,
general volume of business being quite
restricted. 1t takes good kind OF
feeders to sell at 81. and something
ON the choice order can be had at $4.2o
04.35. Most of the medium to pretty
good feeders averaging 700 to $50 lbs
go at $3.60@3.S5 and plain light lots
ranging down to 1925. Bulk of stock
ers sold at s2.75@3.15, with some poor
plain light horned steers ranging down
ITO $3.50 and tailings as low as 1925.

Conducts Campaign For For
ests in the State
IOWA TO BE MOST BENEFITED
No Other State in the West Would
Derive More Good From Forest
Preservation and Tree Growing
Than Iowa = Cutting the Forests
Effects Great River Highways.
Special to rimes-Republlcan.

| Des Moines, Aug. DR.. Thomas FL
mer Will, secretary of the American
Forestry association and living in
| Washington. ID. c., has made about
ing the past few weeks, endeavorinis to
, educate the people of Iowa, and inter
est them in the problem of conserva
ton of the natural resources of the
country. He will continue to lecture in
the. state all this week and will then go
to Missouri for a three weeks lecture
trip.
While Iowa people have looked with
some general interest on the problem
as being one of national scope and Uor-
thy the interest of everyone the idea
has gained some prevalence that Iowa s
land was too valuable for raising trees
and that there was no other line of
natural resources the conservation of
which Iowa could engage in actively.
DIR. Will is in the state primarily for
the purpose of telling the people of the
state that they have a very vital inter-
est in the proposition. That Iowa has
already done much under its state
laws to encourage the raising of trees.
but that Iowa is most to be benefited
in the growing of trees in other states
but that these trees will not be grown
In other states unless Iowa congress
men along with the congressman Of
other states vote for the appropriations
necessary to set off forest reservations.
In his lectures DR.. Will tells the peo-
pie the whole range of natural re-
sources that are to be harbored but
lays considerable stress upon the prob
lem of transportation. The railroads,
according to James j. Hill. who ought
to know, are utterly failing during
most Of the time to keep UP with the
pace and carry the freight that is Of
fered. The rivers are used now less
than in the early days They should be
used more. They can not be used dur
ing a great parho of the year at all and
to be used extensively there must be
steady flow of water. There will be
no steady flow of water unless the riv-
ers are protected at their headwaters
by trees that will prevent the water
running off as soon as it rains.
DR.. Will thinks that Iowa is one Of
states that has the greatest interest.
or should have the greatest interest. in
the proposition because the Missouri
is on the western border and the Mis-
sissippi on the eastern and other riv-
ers lit the interior should be navieable.
If the headwaters of these rivers are
protected DIR. Will believes the day
would speedily come when these rivers
woiiid be navgable.
