Since the Herald gave publicity to
the locating of claims on Virtue flat

are familiar with dry farming and
stated they exercised no hesitation n
filing on the land as soon almost as
they saw 1t, others have been heard
from. Several inquiries have reached
this office directly and indirectly,
asking If there Is much land on the
foothills that can be homesteaded,
says the Baker City Herald,
An effort is to be made shortly to
advertise the dry lands Of Baker
county in practical manner. This
idea was conceived by members Of
the Commercial organizations. and 1t
is a good one. Last year many ex-
cellent products were raised from the
dry lands and in some instances pho
tographs were procured. 1t Is sug-
gested that folder be made giving
these photographs of the dry land
products, stating that they were
raised, and attached to the folder

1t has remained for one James q.
Berryhill, of Des Moines, petty poll
itician and whilom reformer to fur
nish new and very important reason
why nothing should be done by the
republican voters of Iowa to discredit
or to undo the work which has been
done in recent years by and thru the
agency of the republican party in Iowa.
Mr.. Berryhill Is taking great deal
of time that is presumably quite vail
liable at least to him, In organizing
the state for the sole purpose of adj
vertising Iowa to the world as having
what Iowa republicans have
been doing. 1t is his dearest wish to
do something to bring reproach upon

be willing to have Iowa held up to
the world as horrible example II
thereby he could gain his point. In

neRR,ck,s FEARS uNFouNDEo.

Governor Myron r. Herrick, Of Ohio,
a standpatter, contends that the guar
anteeing of bank deposits would be
socialistic and unconstitutional, but
this charge has ceased to stampede
any considerable number. So is gov
eminent ownership OF anything So
cialistic and yet we continue to drift
that way as fast as wisdom and good
Judgment will permit. We no longer
quarrel with the postal system, we are
building a canal between two oceans
and we agree almost universally that
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties is desirable.
Because it is socialistic will not be
sufficient to condemn the suggestion
to guarantee bank deposits. The real
question is: will 1t be wise! The gov
eminent itself evidently thinks that
it is wise, for it insists upon such
guarantee for all government monies
deposited in banks. The people very
ldTEelN
their state statutes require security or
guarantees for deposits Of state mon
les county monies and school district
monies. The only change in the sys-
TEN would be its extension to include
the monies deposited by the widows.
the farmers and the merchants.
1t certainly would not be unconstitu-.
tional for the government already
makes legal and constitutional at
tempts at guaranteeing deposits. 1t
requires the stockholders to assume
an extra liability equal to their orig
inal investment, In effect requiring
them to endorse bond for this
amount to guarantee deposits. If this
requirement accomplished its full pur-
pose there would be no need for fur
Their guarantees, but experience has
proved it inadequate. Now 1t Is pro-
posed that all banks be required to
stand together on the fraternal assess
ment plan. and guarantee one another
at a probable expense Of mere frac-
tion OF / per cent Of their deposits.
The scheme is practicable, 1t is nat
ural and is no more socialistic than
the double liability Of stockholders
enforced by federal and state stat
utes.

fully exclaims. in substance, IL not in

There; see what a wretchedly mis-
managed state we have here as com

be chartered in Iowa the promoters
must show that they have something
tangible on which to do business. ln-

upon the promoter showing some evil

actual value. These are the men whom
Berryhill brands with what he Seems
to regard as an ugly word, "politi-
Clans Coming from a man Whose
whole energy aside from promotine
financial schemes is as politician,
this is species OF sarcasm.
Mr. Berryhill complains that the law
is very bad and that it is doing
great injustice to Iowa. He sees ruin
for our state. 1t Is one of the laws
which, according to the Berryhill idea
fairly represents a certai populisti,
tendency in Iowa legislation. There
FORE it Is to be condemned.
1t has been stated by those who are
competent to know that in the pass
ten years a good many millions of dol
lars of good Iowa money, made In
raising hogs and buying and selling
land, have gone out of Iowa and into
various and sundry mining schemes.
The money will never come back. Pro-
moters have grown rich. Mine stock
has been sold to everybody. The
prospectuses of these blue sky cor
porations have been alluring to all
who have the Itch for getting rich
quick. And this thing has been done
under cover Of Iowa laws, legalized
and given state sanction, the charters
bearing the state seal and thous-
ands of people have lost their earnings
in this way.
Aside from being engaged largely In
spiteful politics at the capital city Mr..
Berryhill has engaged to very large
extent in the promotion Of various cor
porate enterprises. From his talk on
a recent occasion in Des Moines 1T is
probable that he will not be able to
continue doing some of the things
which he has been doing.
And the new Iowa law was designed
to do just what Mr.. Berryhill COM
plains it will do, namely, put an end
to the "blue sky" operations of pro-
moters who organize companies in ex-
cess Of their real assets and with
very little money in hand and who en-
gage in business on the basis of a
beautifully printed prospectus in which
is figured out fabulous profits for all
investors.

FIREPRooF CONSTRUCTION.
lSioux City JnurnaD

(S1oux City JournaD
When the burned Colinwood school
house is rebuilt 1t is safe to say the
structure will be fireproof turnout.
There will be no wooden stairways to
furnish food for flames and to cut
off the escape Of children. There will
be no wooden floors to burn for q
while and then drop with their con-
tents into the basement. The Collin
wood school board will consider it
good economy to make the building
fireproof. Even then some of its con-
tents will be inf1ammable, and the
danger of fire will not have disap-
peared. But with a fireproof building
and plenty of the right sort of exits
the danger Of catastrophe Will have
passed.
The time when all buildings will be
of fireproof construction is rapidly
coming. This is not because we have
proffted by such lessons as that of
CollinWood. but because the day Of
cheap lumber has passed and the day
OF cheap cement is at hand. But dur
ing the time remaining when 1t will
be cheaper to build a nonf1reproof
building thought should be given to
the question whether it will not be
better and cheaper i'll the long run to
decide in favor of fireproof construc-
ton The matter is worthy of the
consideration Of any prospective
builder In the case of public build
ings or buildings for the accommoda-
ton Of large crowds the question
should not need much consideration.
1t will be found good economy to
make all such structures as thorough
ly fireproof as they can be made. In
these buildings the matter of safety
is the primal consideration. and the
matter Of first cost should not be al
lowed to interfere in any degree.
Tho school district that builds a
f1imsy school house can take out fire
insurance to cover its property loss,
but it cannot take out life insurance
that will cover the possible loss of
life in fire horror In large meas

surance by paying for fireproof con-
struction, and there should be no
avoidance Of this obligation to the

The Strawpile


Minnesota this winter. The following
is quoted from his address:
II can add but little to what you
now know, but let mo say first. no mat
ter what your STOCK may be at the
present time. always strive to better
1T. Second. as the sire Is considered
half the herd, | find it to be the best
plan, if you cannot afford to invest in
Il good stallion yourself, to cooperate
with those neighbors who are also
striving to improve their horses The
chances are that in this way you Will
get more for your money than he that
owns the horse.
Don't be too particular about the
breed. Clyde. Shire, Percheron or Bel
gian: 1t matters not so long as you
have good horse. Now about the
colts. and how to raise them. MY
greatest experience Is in raising the
colts. There Is quite percentage OF
loss in raising the colts we get. Horses
wouldn't be so valuable If we succeed
ed in raising them all. Always give
the colts the best of care. Never Wean
them because their mothers have to
work Feed your colts; they learn TO
eat very young, anGi because they nave
learned to eat do not wean them. Let
the colts get what the mother has I'M
til it becomes time to wean. and then
after weaving, the colts still call Tor
great care. Never trust to luck In rails
ing horses Never be discouraged II
your first colt doesn't come up to ex-
pectations. Try again; don't change
breeds: you are apt to meet with
loss BY keeping the same breed OF
horses your colts will all be matched
and when a buyer comes you Will sell
a we'll matched team, where II they
were OF different breeds you sold but
one horse. Matched colts are always
worth $40 to SIS more to the owner
than IL they weren't matched. This Is
my own actual experience of thirty
years or more In raising horses MY
plan is to cooperate as have said.

Cost Of Raising a Draft Colt.

SOok W Io'S''NS - O's's 1890
During the past few years the ac-
tivity In the draft horse market and
the strong prices paid for the better
classes of colts have caused many
farmers to go into the horse rails
ing business for the first time. AS in
every other branch Of live stock rails
ing haphazzard methods will never
bring good results. To be reasonably
sure of success the new breeder must
have liking for horses and be pos
sessed of some dnfinite ideas in re-
gard to the kind of horses he wishes
to produce. Taking 1t for granted that
he is provided with these prime red
uisites for a successful horse breeder
the question will naturally arise rs
there any money in the business? III
the raising of airy kind Of live stock
was merely question Of mathematics
the answer would be easy. However,
there are many conditions to be con-
sidered. Prices Of the different kinds
of feed vary from year to year. Oc-
casional losses are sustained from ac-
cident and so or thru long list.
Consequently the actual cost of any
one colt can only be Appropriated. In
