Boone. Jan, 2l-Announcement was
made at 10 o'clock this forenoon that
Boone would have a new hotel. equal
to any in the state, not even except
ing the capital city. The contracts
have been signed between B. p. Hoist
on the one hand, and the Boone Com
mercial association, Mrs. Kate Hall,
and e. H. Selling on the other, which
insures a hotel costing probably $780,
900 before completed. Plans have been
on tap for manymonths to secure Boone
a hotel, but something has always de-
veloped to change things. and Boone
continued to live under the reputation
of having the poorest hotels in the
state.
A short time ago B. P. Hoist, one
of the wealthiest citizens of Boone,
announced that he would negotiate
with parties desiring to aid in putting
up hotel. The commercial asso-
citation took up the matter and agreed
to give him a $4,000 site if he would
put not less than 100000 into the
structure. Mr. Hoist agreed. and has
secured a half block. right in the
heart of the city, the old Butler house
site, for his new structure. The new
hotel, however, will cost more than
was at first planned, for he had to
pay out many additional thousands of
dollars on the site alone, the options
of which expire on Feb. Z.
The hotel will be at least four stories
high, with a modern electric elevator
service The hotel will have store
rooms, barber shop, reception rooms.
parlors. billiard and pool parlors. etc.,
and will contain many new features.
heretofore omitted from Iowa's hotels.
Mr.. Hoist has travelled quite extens-
lively, and has been inspecting the lat
est hotels in all of the cities. and has
many features which he will incorpor-
ate in these plans The general plan
of the Hoist house will be on that fol-
lowed in erecting the Chamberlain,
in Des Moines.
Mr.. Hoist will terrace the old But
Ter house lots, and park them off. He
will erect beautiful residence on the
north two lots of this half block, and
will remove there after the hotel is
built The hotel; however. comes
first, and will be built this summer.
Plans and specifications will be drawn
up and as soon as possible, Mr.. Hoist
will award the contract. II
The building of this hotel means the
biggest boost that Boone has had for
years. Travelling men have SHE'D this
town ever since the old Butler burned,
but things will be entirely different
wear from now.

Successfully Operated at Rock,
ford Over Twenty Years.
Capital Stock $500
SECRETS OF ITS SUCCESS
Latter is Attributed to Facts That
Stock Draws No Dividend. Assoea-
ton Has Good Butter Maker, and
Roads Leading Out From Rockford
Are Better Than the average
Special to mes-Republican.


Rockford. Jan. 21.-The annual re-
port of the Rockford Cooperative
Dairy association for the year ending
Dec 81. 1908, is just out. This asso
citation has successfully operated a
creamery in Rockford for over twenty
years The report shows that on a cap
ital stock of about $500, the associa-
ton last year did business amount
ing to .S92.6S4.47.
The reasons for the success of this
association are very interesting. since
$50 many cooperative crcameries have
failed. Perhaps the first reason WHY
this one has succeeded is that it has
a good butter maker, Clarence Farm
ham. The butter he made last year was
shipped to New York City. with the
Rockford and received the highest
price and one cent premium.
The second reason why this
creamery has succeeded. is the fact
that the stock draws no dividend. The
expense of cream haulers, butter maxi
err. officers and articles for use in max
ing and packing the butter are paid
for first. The price of cream is tn IN
made high enough to leave practically
no balance on hand. Thus the farmer
who sells the cream gets all the profits.
An incentive Is given to farmers u
buy the stock, by paying more for
cream to those who own stock than to
those who do not.
The average price per pound paid
farmers for the butter made from their
cream for the last year was 21.9 cents.
The cream hauler who was paid by the
association. called at each farm and
took the cream from his yard and
brought him his check at the end OF
the month. So many of the farmers
sell their cream that Rockford people
have to pay New York prices for but
ter. There is no complaint however.
since the profit all goes to the farmer,
who does the work.
A third reason for the success Of
thik association. is the good roads thu.
lead out from Rockford. Cream haule-s
are more easily secured than in some
parts Of the state, where at certain
seasons the roads are practically i'm
passable.
1t is an interesting fact that over
half of the creamery butter churned in
Floyd county last year was churned
at Rockford. the amount churned be-
ing 3S9.930 pounds. The success of a
creamery depends on the size of terri
tory and the number of cows. the ex-
pense for large output being smaller
proportionally than for a small one
The cream haulers go OUT as far us
fifteen miles from Rockford ,for cream,
and drive as far as thirty-five miles
a day.
There are about ESQ hand separators
among the patrons of the creamery.
All the milk is thus left on the farm
for use in feeding the calves and pigs
About 25O other patrons Of the cream
cry skim their milk. The largest out
put of butter for one month was sc, 900
pounds. for the month of June.
