The Peaceful Way.

Des Moines Capital: The rank and
file of the republican party of Iowa
are tired of party disputes. They
want peace. And republican victories
They believe in republicanism
There is no authority now by which
candidate for senator can be legally
placed in the field. So far as the sem
atorship is concerned, the jury has
been made up. All the newspapers
of the state cannot change that jury.
The jury will be the republican men,
bers of the next general assembly.
Their nominations have all been made.
Every senatorial and every represen-
tative district has republican nOmi-
nee. Some of them are progressive.
Some of them are standpatters. They
are nominees of the united republican
party. All of them had ought to be
elected. All republicans can go to
work for all the republican nominees
We want to elect Frank Woods to
congress from the Tenth district. We
want to elect Charles Pickett from the
Third. We want to elect Hon. N. E.
Kendall in the Sixth. We are anxious
to elect Dawson in the Second and
Kennedy in the First. We want Hull
aud Hepburn to pull through and of
course we want Hubbard and Smith
and Haugen, We want peace in the
Fifth district in order that Goode may
be elected to congress In other words,
Iowa wants a solid republican delega-
tion in the next house. This situation
will be helped if the party is solid for
the ticket, from Taft down to constable.
If there are candidates for United
States senatOr let them lake the Stumn
and assist in electing a republican
legislature. Then let the legislature
hold a caucus and let the nominee of
that caucus be elected senator. Pur-
tuing this course will promote the
peace of the party and it will deprive
no candidate of his opportunity.

Sher iff NOrthup BUYS A Home

That Sheriff Northup intends to re-
main a citizen of Audubon after his
present term of Office expires has been
definitely settled by his purchase of
the home on the hill north of the North
Western Station from Fl. A. Christen-
sen, of the firm Of Jensen, Christen-
sen and Viewer. The place contains
8 acres and is we'll improved. The
house was erected two or three years
ago and is modern in every respect.
The price paid was 81, 500. 90 which is
quite reasonable for place of that
kind so close to the business center of
the town. We are pleased to mention
that Mr.. Northup and his family will
continue residents of Audubon. Pos
session will not be given until first of
January. In the meantime Mr.. Chris
Jensen will probably buy or build
home for himself.

That Hail Storm in South Dakota.

On our return to Iowa last Thursday
we heard about a great hail storm
forty miles wide that had swept nine
counties from Campbell to Coddipg-
ton clean of their crops. We happen
ed to be up in that neighborhood on
the very day that storm is said to have
occurred and the next day and night
riding on the trains and stopping at
hotels, but we heard nothing about it.
An item in the paper mentioned a little
strip in one of the counties that had a
storm that injured the crops of some
farmers; but that big storm was in the
mind of some reporter,

Big Price For Land.

1t is clearly evident there is nothing
small about the price of land any
more in Audubon county. We have
noted a number of sales in the last two
years at 800 an acre but now we have
one to chronicle at $1l5 an acre, j.
FL. Maharg having bought the farm of
200 acres two miles northeast of town
at that price of L. l.. Finch 1t is
fine farm but that is a high price. We
understand that Mr.. Maharg is not
quite satisfied with life in town where
he has little to do and wants the new
place for O. home

With 1000 entries in the horse de-

The Red Man
Must Work.
Commissioner Leupp's Efforts TO
Compel the Indians to Till
Land Allotted Them and
Help Themselves.
2 7 is often said that the Indians are
being driven off their reservations
and that it is only a question Of

being driven off their reservations
and that it is only a question Of
time when they will be eXtermi-
mated. Perhaps as distinct and sepa-
rate race they will in time disappear,
but they are not dying out, at least not
very fast, and at the present time, any
way, their lands are not being taken
from them without a substantial return
of some kind. The United States gov
eminent is doing much to teach the
red men how to take care of them
selves and is instructing those whose
lands are dry and barren how by IL
rigatfon to make them blossom like the
rose.
The recent trouble with band OF
Utes in North Dakota has called at
tention to the effect Of the present
Indian policy of the government un"
der Indian Commissioner Francis E.
Leupp, who has given years to study
of the Indian problem with n view Of
reaching a scientific solution of it. The

always followed along the lines of
health laid down by mother nature,

marked that he didn't see but what he
felt about as good as he ever did 'cept
like the renowned Rip Van Wrinkle

stiff.
That turn about is fair play was
proven last Sunday when the Atlantic
Merchant Greys came to Extra to play
return game. A few days ago our
boys went down there and were beaten
by the score of Four to Nothing, and

WOOD FOR PAPER
The Publisher Pays Much Mere
for His Stock Than a
Year Ago.

Today there is general com

subscription price so per cent in
order to pay for the paper From
the time when Gutenberg first u.s.
ed movable type, made of wood,
to the present day of metropolitan
papers, some of which consume
the product of acres of spruce in a
single edition, printing has in a
very large degree depended upon
the forest.
In the face of a threatened
shortage of timber, the amount OF
wood consumed each year for pulp
has increased since 1899 from 2
million to 81 million cords. The
year 1906 marked an increase OF
$1,000 cords in the import of pulp
wood, the highest average value
per cord for all kinds, and a con-
sumption greater by 469,O53 cords
than that of any previous year.

1893 three-fourths of the pulp was
manufactured, is still the leading

Bought a Home in Orefon

j. d. Parker, who has been on
the Pacific coast for the past two
months, returned home Saturday.
While in southern Oregon he
purchased a home of three acres
in Centerpoint, to which place
he will move his family in Feb
ruary. This small tract of land is
in fruit and contains a two-story
frame house of eight rooms. We
do not dare give Mr.. Parker's
glowing account of that country
for fear our people would start
west in a body. We are sorry to
think of the departure Of MI.
Parker and his family, for they
have been among our best citizens
and their moving away will be a
loss to the community in more
ways than one. Mr.. Parker
brought some California fruit
back with him and favored the
Sun office. He also brought a 80
pound squash from Centralpoint
which is now on exhibition at

Water Injected With Germs.

DR.. Price was called to Encamp-
ment Sunday to look after the
family of Mrs. Ann Parr. The
family has had a siege of typhoid
and pneumonia the past year while
residing on the ranch below the
town of Encampment. Three of
the family have died and three
more are now down with typhoid.
Mrs. Parr has moved the entire
family to Encampment, as 1t had
become certain that the water the
family was compelled to use on
the ranch had become infected
with typhoid germs. There is
hope for the recovery of those who
are now ill, by reason of the
change.
