IOWA FALLS-The do things" spirit In
this city crystallized Wednesday evening In
a representative meeting of business and
professional men at the city hall to discuss
the future welfare of the city and devise
ways and means of promoting the Industrial
advancement Of the city. c. H. Burlingame
was chosen chairman Of the meeting and a
committee OF ten was selected TO devise
plans for future action, and a meeting Of
the committee for that purpose will be held
next Wednesday evening. There appears
to be a united sentiment in favor of taking
steps to advance the Industrial side of the
city and it was in hopes of accomplishing
something along this line that these steps
have been taken.

county, according to the auditors report,
are value at 1885,, 1872 personal property,

graph and telephone, $166,988; railroads, ~
ls1, 416. Listed acres of land in the county.
SIS, S39, 900. From the fact that Harrison
county land is being sold from $65 TO 800
and $50 per acre, II is believed that a fair
average price would at least not be below
$40. This would give the land valuation at
$32, 100, 600. The valution Of the Harrison
county lands is largely due to the proximity
TO Omaha markets and the ~productiveness
Of the soil.
AMES-Some remarkable high beef and
pork dressing records, which came close
to equalling the worlds mark, were made
here today at the Iowa short course, being

NEW YORK, Jan. B.~-Bradstreet's today
said:
Reports as TO trade and transportation
reflect variations of weather irregularity
products and coal supplies and OF spring
goods to various markets. Retail trade In
winter goods has been helped by cold,
stormy weather and the usual January
price revisions. A very fair volume of re-
orders is reported by jobbers, while the
volume OF orders for spring reaching
wholesale houses from travellers is fairly
good. Transportation lines. particularly In
the north and west, have been hampered
by stormy weather. and the movement OF
crops has been interfered with. Something
approaching a coal famine still exists al
many western points. Building operations
