You must put a tariff on WOOL

ers in Texas and make the manufac-
turer pay 40 per cent for his wool
and increase his cost 40 per cent
more, according to the value of the
wool that enters into the article, and
If he attempts to transfer 1t to the
consumer. put his product on the
free list. That means when man
buys your wool, make him pay 40
per cent more for 1t than a foreigner
does, and then after you have tied
his hands behind him, you will open
the gates and invite the manufac-
turer of the finished product TO
come in Isn't that retaliation with
a vengeance? Is that how you will
help the wool growers of Texas? 1t
is an absurd proposition. Not only
that; it is unjust, and will take from
the people OF Texas ten times as
much as II brings to them. From

The county commissioners have
been warned that a delegation of
farmers from west of the city will
call upon them in the near future, and
demand the rebuilding of the brick

the 1903 food and never rebuilt. The
farmers will represent property assess
ed at over a million dollars.
At present the commissioners are
besieged by residents of Granville
and Oakland, who want the Granville
bridge restored. AS it costs about
100000 to build a bridge across the
Kaw in this county, the commission
ers will put off the building of the
brick plant bridge as long as possible.

day there are millions of men, women and
children who work at their homes. There
are also something like 5000 factories
moved by steam, gas, turbine water wheels
and electricity, and more than 6J0,0O hands
are employed in them. over 1900 of these
factories are devoted to textiles and about
400 to machinery and work in iron and
steel. The government alone has 1000 fac
tories of its own, in which almost 10000
men are employed. IL has one connected

ment which employs over 1900 men.
Many OF the private companies have

more than one-fourth OF that amount. This
includes agricultural companies and in
dustrials of various kinds. 1t comprises
many commercial combinations and trans

As TO the actual wealth of the country,

lands. At present writing, without count
ing its debt, the nation is worth about
Sl2, 900, coo, 600 gold. This is almost as much
wealth as Italy, more than twice as much
as that of Spain or Holland and about one
third or the estimated possessions OF all
the Russias. The richest countries in the
world are the United States. Great Britain,

is drained by the Missouri river and its
tributary the Little Sioux river. The Little
Sioux river drains an immense tract of
land, over 400, 1000 acres, and In the spring
when the hills in which it's source is
situated are deluged with rains. 1t rises
with great rapidity, and spreading out over
the level bottom land for miles carries
in its wake ruin and disaster. In years
when the rains are especially heavy, this
land becomes a sea Of water that ruins crops
and hay lands. and prevents any farming.
In Woodbury. county there are about 5000
acres subject to this overflow. while a
large portion of Monona county bottom
land amounting to about $1,000 acres is, dur
ing this season. submerged. However. dur
ing a normal year this section is practi-
cally unaffected, and wonderful results
and yields are obtained from IT,
To relieve the flood situation was the
problem that arose. It seemed that to
drain the land with large bitches was the
only solution. thus providing ar outlet for
all this accumulation OF water. This was
agitated by the press and by the citizens
and farmers and in July. 1906, the two
boards OF supervisors Of Monona and Har-
rison counties let the contract for the
Monona-Harrison ditch. The work was de-
layed on account Of litigation in court and
not until April, 1907, was 1t resumed.
A few years ago what was known as the
Woodbury-Monona ditch was constructed.
This ditch commenced in Woodbury. county
and ran south along the line OF Wolf creek
into Monona county 20 a point connecting
with the west fork Of the Little Sioux river.
This connection is three miles from the
confluence OF the west fork OF the Little
Sioux. At this connection the Monona-
Harrison ditch was started. 1t runs In a
south and southwesterly direction for over
twenty-five miles and empties directly into
the Missouri river.
Besides the big ditch many laterals. cut
offs and small bitches we're constructed.
BY placing cut-offs in the bends OF the
river the channel length Of the stream is
shortened. In one cutoff OF 40 yards
length three and a half miles are saved
