CLIMATE is IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. III. Ellwanger, who
was formerly resident OF Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: The climate
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days of sunshine, no bad
storms. We never need to guard
against cyclones; i never saw better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous five years in central
Iowa--one of the best districts in the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was resi-
dent of the town, and 1t might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. 1t is as follows:

Milwaukee Road Sues HubbeIl.

Charging that F. M. Hubbell and
F. G. Hubbell employed frenzied
finance methods to secure control of
the Des Moines Union railway, attor-
neys for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul have filed a petition in the
district court asking that they be
compelled to return $500 shares of
stock in the Des Moines, Northern &
Western railway, which it Is alleged
they secured by fraudulent means.
The plaintiffs aver that while in con-
troll of the Des Moines, Northern &
Western, the Hubbells distracted
from the treasury $500 shares of
stock and sold it to themselves for
$25 900, when it was worth $250,000
or ten times the amount they paid.
F. M. Hubbell & Sons, F. M. Hub
bell and F. G. Hubbell are named as
defendants IN the petition, which was
filed by Judge Cook of Cedar Rapids,
counsel for the Milwaukee in Iowa.
The Milwaukee bases its claim to
| the stock on a contract made in 1894,
by which it purchased 1890 shares
in the Des Moines, Northern & West
ern railway. But 1t AYERS that the
Hubbells secured control of the COM
pany and were thus in a position to
make the alleged transfer of stock
without the knowledge of the other
stockholders.
The petition sets out the various
steps and reorganizations which fin
ally resulted in the present Des
Moines Union railway company. 1t is
claimed that in 1894 the Hubbells
owned 10000 out of 10000 shares of
the Des Moines Northern e Western
Railway company. An agreement was
made whereby 1890 shares were to
be turned over to Russell Miller, as
trustee for the Milwaukee and later
an additional 1896 shares were to
be secured for $4,000. About this
time the company reorganized under
the name of the Des Moines Northern
e Western Railroad company. In
the readjustment Mr.. Miller got H.
400 shares instead of 5000, It is
claimed. Other changes followed I'M
til the Milwaukee claims :; owned all
of the stock in the Des Moines Union
formerly owned by the Des Moines
Northern & Western Railroad COM
pany. The amount was $500 shares.
Although the alleged transfer by
which the Hubbells secured s250,000
of stock for sos, 900 took place in 1894,
the Milwaukee claims 1t never knew
of the deal until February. 1907.
1t alleges that the transaction was
fraudulent and gave the defendants
control of the property for a grossly
inadequate and merely nominal con-
sideration.

Des Moines.-Iowa will participate
in the national corn exposition at
Omaha, Dec. 1919, 1908.
Governor Cummins has issued pro-
clamation committing the state to par
ticipation in the exposition in which
Iowa people are vitality interested.
Commissioners have been named to

Council Bluffs and Omaha are jointly
backing this corn exposition, and both
cities will act as hosts and financial
agents. A large part Of the incorporat
ing stock is taken by Iowa men, and

show at Chicago Something like
S25 900 will be distributed as prizes.

captured a large share of the pre-
miums at Chicago six months ago and
that one man from Indiana was
awarded over $1,000 for his exhibit
from a forty-acre farm.
To arrange for and to install a
suitable exhibit Governor Cummins
has appointed the following commits
sion of leading business men, editors
of agricultural papers and distin-
guished business men: Chairman,

Albright Beats Santa Re Road.

The supreme court has affirmed the
decision Of the Polk county district
court in the case OF ]. N. Albright
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. E.. l.. Palmer, the Des Moines
passenger agent of the railroad, sold
to Albright six orders for tickets to
Los Angeles, CAL, and Albright claims
with the understanding that If he did
not use the orders he could get, his
money back.
Albright failed to use the orders and
asked for his money back. He was
first given 800 and later on $110 and
the balance was refused him. AL.
bright sued the company for the
money. The company claims that the
money advanced by Albright to Pal
mer was personal loan to Palmer for
which the company could not be held
responsible. The supreme court de-
cided in Albright's favor and the rail-
road must pay over the balance OF
the $500 with interest.

Harlan VIII Have Charge.

Harlan VIII Have Charge.
At the meeting of the board of
trustees of the state historical de-
partment it was decided unanimously
to postpone consideration of the
choice of a successor to the late
Charles Aldrich as curator of the de-
partment until later in the summer or
fall.
In the meantime, Assistant Curator
e. r. Harlan will have general charge
of the department, acting in the capa-
city of curator, as he has, very
efficiently, during the last several
months while Mr.. Aldrich was critic
ally Ill and unable for much of the
time TO attend to the business.
A large number of men have ap-
piled to the trustees for the appoint
ment as successor to Mr.. Aldrich.
The board is said to have in view
some who have not applied. Mr.. Har-
lan's friends have assumed that he
would be promoted. He has been
connected with the department about
year, his position having been
authorized by the last legislature.
1t has been suggested by some that
the trustees may postpone the election
of curator until the next legislature
shall pass comprehensive act re-
organizing the department. Under
the law, although 1t has not been
operative during Mr.. Aldrich's life
time, the department is under the
virtual management of the state
librarian, whose institution is to be
moved into the historical building
within a few days. The curator and
the assistants of the curator under
that law are employees of the library,
In fact, except that the law retains in
charge Of the curator the portrait
gallery, the historical publications,
the museum and the newspaper col.
lection. Over all is the supreme
judges, the governor, the secretary
of state and the superintendent OF
schools, who elect librarian and cura-
tor.
There is state historical society
at Iowa City with a museum, his
torical collection and important
powers of publication of historical
material 1t has been suggested that
the trustees may be able to get legis-
lation in consolidation of the historic
al activities of the state.
The last Legislature established
hall OF archives, which has been plac-
ed in the hands of the executive coun.
Gil, although it as been said that it
ought to have nomore political con.
nection than the historical depart
ments have.
Consolidation of these three de-
partments-state historical in Des
Moines, historical society in Iowa City
and the hall of archives-probably
would include the enforcement of the
miscellaneous library from the insti-
tutions devoted to preservation of
historical material.

BUY.AT HOME,

As one of the means for revivins
business in the South, the Business
Magazine, a publication devoted to the
business interests of the Southern
states. is waging a vigorous campaign
In favor of the South's buying south
ern made goods.
Millions of dollars go out of The
South annually for goods that could
be bought from southern factories of
as good quality and at no higher
prices. The people must be educated
out OF the notion that the southern
made goods are not good enough for
them. 1t is necessary to impress the
southern people that buying southern
made goods means employment for
more people in the South, more bust
ness for merchants, farmers, bankers
and all. The South must keep It's
money at home and there is no better
way than to buy home made goods.
