a little analysis of the figures, how
ever, does not show up so we'll for the
wealth Of the state as it ought. There
is gain of nearly sS2,o00,ooO in lands
and personal property but $4,000, 600
OF this is in the valuation of lands
which is an increase due TO the age and
more settled condition of the state and
is not cash in hand. There is a gain of
nearly s24,000.000 in moneys and cred
It's but this may be due TO more ener-
getic efforts on the part of the assessors
as it is a notorious fact that the
moneys and credits for the most part
escapes taxation and the figures re-
ported are therefore unreliable infor-
nation on which to base comparisons
There is a reduction of s2,5oo,000 in
other personal property" In fact
other personal property" means sia-
ronds watches and other expensive.
100000 in vehicles including automo-
biles. There have been about 5000 new
automobiles purchased and licensed in
the state during the past year and 1T
* easy to judge that some of the dia-
monds may have gone into automobiles
Al the same time some of the diamonds
may have gone into Texas land.
With even fair crops a state like
Iowa should show goodly increase
every year in its wealth and lack of
annual increase in wealth other than
the 'unearned Increment" on land gives
economists a panicky feeling that there
is something wrong somewhere If the
citizens who are putting their surplus
cash in Texas and western land retain
their citizenship in Iowa and make on
the land as they seem 10 be doing it
may eventually bring more money to
Iowa but the land in the mean time is
being taxed in these other states and
not in Iowa.
The figures show an Increase of 81
100000 in the value Of horses and CT
$500, in the value of mules but a
falling off of s5,00O,oo0 in the value of
cattle and Of $4,000 900 in the value of
hogs. This is probably due TO the fact
that many farmers did not raise as
much last year as usual by the short
crops and are therefore unable to feed
and keep as many cattle and hogs as
formerly while the number of horses is
governed by the necessities of field
work.
Much Of the failure to show greater
increase in the wealth of the state in
personal property may be and prob
ably is due to the short crops of last
year which were not up to those of
former year. The. 1908 corn crop was
301. S73,150 bushels while some corn
crops of the state have gone over 400
100000 bushels. OF course by the same
logic and course of reasoning the fail
ure of the state to show greater In
crease may be due more to the crop
than to sending money into Texas, but
most people are inclined to lay 1T more
to the fact that money is going out
Of the state to buy land than to the
crops for While the crons were not
bumper crops last year they were new
ertheless good crops.

Their Names AnoIIcIzed.

Sis William Drinkwater died recent.
ly on the Isle of Man. He was de-
scended from Huguenot family
named Boileau, which sought refuge
in England after the revocation of the
edict of Nantes. Many of those ref.
ugees translated their names into Eng.
lish. sometimes with a slight altera-
ton of their sense, and thus Bolleau
became Drinkwater; Delauere, BY
the-sea; Duleu, Waters; Jolifemn.e.
Prettyman; Lacroix. Cross; LIE Blanc,
White; LIE Fevre, Smith or Faber:
Savage, Savage or Wild: Leroy.
King. and Loiseau, Bird. Other names
in course of time lost all trace OF their
French origin. De Moulins, D'Orleans
and De Preux were changed to Null
Inns, Dorling and Diprose, and Beaufoy
was corrupted to Boffy.

APPEAL ON 2 CENT FARE ACT.
Judge Mcpherson Directs That Records
in Missouri Case BE Held


in Missouri Case Be Held.
Kansas City, July 29-The state will
appeal to the United States supreme
court from the ruling of the federal
court on the cent passenger and max
inum freight rate question in only one
Of eighteen cases. that of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad, which
is regarded as the best example for the
state and the worst for the railroad
Judge Mcpherson granted an appeal,
but directed that the records should
not be sent to Washington for two
weeks that the railroads attorneys
might prepare a cross appeal.
Replying to question by Judge Nc
Pherson, Sanford B. Ladd. one of The
attorneys for the state said:
The state could not afford to appeal
all of the cases. The transcript in this
one case cost s4,7O0. We gave the
clerk of the circuit court a check for
that amount this morning. This is only
part of the expense of the appeal. When
the supreme court rules on this case
We shall know what to do in the other
cases. We hope to have ruling on
this case in about one year.

months ago that the cent passenger

NATIONAL FORESTS GUARD.
Fires to Be Watched From Lookout
Stations on Mountain Peaks.


Stations on Mountain Peaks.
Working along the line of securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire with a minimum of ex-
penditure. the forest service has de-
cided to establish on the most advan-
tageous points of the national forests
In the west series Of lookout stations
from which news of the breaking out
Of forest fires can be tslephoned to for
est officials.
Since all of these stations will com
mand q view of the country for miles
around, the work Of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their indpiency
will by this plan be greatly expedited.
with the result that many thousands
of dollars worth Of valuable timber
will be saved annually.
In most Of the national forest states
the climate is very dry and the rain
fall light Conditions, therefore, are re-
markably favorable for the spread of
fire, and extraordinary diligence is nee
essary in palrolling dangerous areas.

in the national forests. approximately
195,O0O,000 acres, the government has
about 1,4OO mep in the field If each
man could be used for fire patrol he
would have to cover approximately
$4,000 acres. AS matter Of fact
however, the volume Of business on
the national forests has grown to such
proportions that less than 90 per cent

it necessary to spread an average

Railroad Men Modest a. Brave.

The histories of the modern rail-
roads are replete with tales, fascinat.
ing and thrilling as they are, of the.
deeds of valor performed by the
knights of the rail. and scarcely a
month passes but we are told har.
rowing, pathetic tales of great dis
asters on the road. Invariably in
reading the accounts of these events
we involuntarily scan the printed
lines to learn the fates Of the crews
in the engines.
Railroad trainmen, like soldiers and.
in fact. all brave men, are modest. 1t
is only with extreme difficulty that
they are led to recount the deeds of
their fellows. 1t seems to be a fore
gone conclusion With then tha. aaah
time they pull out their trains they
may never return. This trip might
be the last.

Grirnell. July 2s.-Lee Wilcox, of the
Globe Machinery Company of Des
Moines. who has been in this city some
days, az work upon the replacing of
engines and machinery for the Grinnell

bad accident to his right hand last
night, which is likely TO cause him the
loss of his fingers, if no more. He was
just starting an engine on trial, after
some repairs had been made, when his
hand was caught by the belt and drawn
in with crushing force. Luckily the
engine was just starting, and moving
very slowly and with little force, or the
entire hand would have been crushed
to a pulp.
