Jasper Turley was born In St.
Gencvieve County, IN the year 1872.
After 81 years he departed this life
at Flat River, st. Francois County,
only eight miles from the place
where he was born. Indeed, in the
same house where he was born,
were all his children born. Eight
children are yet living besides wife
and seven brothers and sisters. At
% years OF age he became a member
Of the Three Rivers Baptist Church,
and was elected n deacon in the
same. In this church, on July 24th,
n large crowd of kindred and friends
gathered to pay last tribune of re-
spect to the dead. Deacon Turley
had often himself IN years gone by

The Best Plaster.

A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain Liniment and bound
on to the affected parts is superior
to any plaster. When troubled with
lame back or pains in the side or
chest give it a trial and you are GER
tain to be more than pleased with
the prompt relief which 1t affords.
This liniment also relieves rheu-
matte pains and Is certain to please
anyone suffering from that disease.

Furthermore, the road was not built
out of profits Of the Iron Mountain
Company, but by private capital
which derived its dividends from the
toll charges paid by the farmer.
st. Francois County has not
even "A private fortune built up out
of profits from the iron mined at
Iron Mountain. In fact, the county
received nothing of permanence in
return for the millions Of dollars In
iron, which, when removed, was re-
moved for all time. The physical
value of the county was deprecated
to the extent OF $50, 900, 600, or more,
by the operations at Iron Mountain,
and there Is to-day nothing on the
credit side Of the ledger to balance
this deficit.
BY the end of the year 1909, the
resources Of st. Francois County
will have suffered n further annual
depreciation of approximately Sl0,-
900, 900 by reason of the operations
of the lead companies in the Flat
River district. In the same period
the farmers and small manufactures
of the county will have produced in
| he neighborhood of $1,000 900 add.
tional wealth. Yet, in doing this
the farmers and manufacturers have
caused no depreciation In the valnC
of the county's resources. The sol
out of which this $5,0O0,000 grew re-
mains. The lead which produced
the $40, 900, 900 of wealth has beef

is only hole in the ground.
The Ticalish Question.
Now the question as to how st
Francois County is to got from the
lead industry more than n mere an,
nual stipend out of which to pay
current expenses, leads directly III
to taxation. individuals as well as
corporations become shy when taxes
are mentioned, and the farmer is as
anxious as the lead company to keel
down the valuation of his property
The only difference is in degree
though there Is considerable differ.
ence in the ta&-paying ability of the
two.
On the tax books st. Francois
County is worth about eleven and
one-quarter million dollars, on the
basis of II 400 valuation, or about
SIS ,000, 200 actual valuation.

VI
In all this lead mining business,
ii Is clearly the part Of wisdom that
st. Francois County should consider
the past history Of mining within
her boundaries. Thirty years ago
Iron Mountain was the best iron
field in the United States. AS far
as quality is concerned, the iron
from st. Francois County has never
been eXcelled. In quantity, the ore
supply was considered sufficient to
produce a stated annual output for a
century. Even such biologists as
Mr.. Featherstonebaugh, who re-
ported to the United States Con
gress on tho Iron Mountain iron de-
posits, stated without hesitation
that II was impossible to estimate
the value by any other terms than II
nations want
As late as 1881, DR.. Rossiter w &.
Raymond, an authority on the
geology Of the Western States, and
to-day among the formost mctallur-
gists of the world, said in an article
in The American Encyclopedia, that
"the amount of ore in this deposit is
beyond calculation" In fact, the
iron deposits of Iron Mountain were
universally referred to rs "ineX-
haustible."
Ten years after 1881, the deposits
at Iron Mountain practically were
exhausted, all work having ceased.
In this period of time, say from
1858, when the first ore went to Ste.
Genevieve over the plank road, up
to 1890, in all thirty.seven years, Iron
Mountain produced, by rough es-
innate, about 100000 tons of iron
ore, worth, because of its very ex-
cellent quality, not less than
$50, 100000, though S45, 900, 900 might
he nearer the correct figures.
What Has The County to Showp
The point is this. What has st.
Francois County to show for the
$50, 200 900 worth of iron which has
been removed from her western hills?
A larger citizenship? For time
probably, but not now. A plank and
gravel turnpike? Yes, but now
obliterated, and even while in good
condition 1t was maintained by toll
charges paid by the farmers for the
privilege of travelling on the road.

But, rs mn lndiSputable matter OF
fact, these 10000 acres of idle land
ought to be assessed at far higher
total valuation than the 200 acres
which are producing the $40, 0O0, 900
worth of lead every year. When
ever this is done St. Francois coun-
ty will begin to realize something on
her rich mineral resources, and not
until then. Either the holders of
these large acreages should provide
for an early development of them,
or allow someone else to do the de-
velopment.
The assessed valuation should be
placed at figure which would make
1t Improbable to hold this land idle.
Until this is done, st. Francois
county will be In the peculiar posi-
ton Of valuing Mt 1925 per acre one
class of land which will produce
$40, 900 per acre every year, for sew
eral years at least, and another
class of land at $40 per acre which
will produce only $40 per acre per
year. Andiit should BIO added that
the estimate of $50 per acre on farm
ing land is.arrived at only by wide
stretch of the imagination, while
the actual figures on lead land are
around an average of 500, 900 per
acre.

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-espe
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite US we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa, writes: 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. l had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, 1t
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, it will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
