AT St Thomas l ascertained num-
Der of interesting facts with regard to
the negotiations carried on by the gov
eminent to buy it. The island is Dan
ish possession, and at the time the prop
osition was on to buy it an election was
held at which the people were to vote as
to whether or not they wanted to belong
TO the United States. The election result
ed in an overwhelming vote in favor OF
the proposition. When the Danish gov
eminent heard of this some of their sup
posed wise men thought that they could
hold up the government at Washington
for a few more millions added to the pur-
chase price, but our government would
not stand for the holdup, and thus St
Thomas still belongs to Denmark.
Porto Rico has a population of lOO,OO
people. with LOGO public schools and a.

learning English as fast as they can. To
go into a Porto Rican town you would
almost think you were in an American
town. The streets are clean and orderly,
and it is only when you see the OK teams
and other ancient institutions that you
realize that you are not. One of the
great drawbacks to missionary work in
the islands is the fact that in most of
them the missionary must hold two serv-
ices, one in Spanish and one in English.
Although there are various Christian mis-
siOns in the islands, there is wonder

BETTER CONDITIONS

President Of Iowa Federation Of Labor
Talks While in clin-
ton.

CLINTON, Ia, Sept 24.-Iowa has
the largest percentage of organized
mechanics of any state in the union,
said A. L. Urick, president Of the
State Federation, who came to Clinton
on business connected with the local
labor congress. There are more tlan
10000 organized laborers in this state
he declares. President Urick said:
The Iowa Federation of Labor is
looking forward to the time when bet
ter sanitation will be observed in the
construction of buildings; is working
for improved labor conditions in Iowa
and the advancement of the conditions
affecting all her people; and hopes to
see at no distant day sanitarium or
hospital in every county in Iowa for
the care of persons suffering from tri-
berculosis in advanced stages"
Mr.. Urick says Polk county will
probably be the first of the counties
to found sanitarium for the care of
advanced tubercular patients, who can
not gain admission to the state sani-
tarium; every county having the
right to establish such an institution,
by virtue of the law enacted by the
last Iowa legislature. The state fed
Grafton has been in the war against
consumption nearly five years, and
has materially aided the state board
of control and the Society for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, in its educa-
tional campaign.
