Growth OF Automobile Industry.


SO rapid is the growth of the au-
tomCbile industry that it is impos-
sible 10 put an exact estimate on the
valuation of the capital invested,
but conservative estimate places
it at 100000. In this vast
total not less than half represents
moderate and low-priced machines,
whose enormous sales-a ratio of
six to one-are not trumpeted like
these of the high-priced autos.
About 100000 persons are en-
ployed in the manufacture of auto
mobiles and accessories. Between
$25, 100000 and $30,000,V00 is
paid for freight to the railroads by
the automobile companies annually.
The annual consumption of steel,
iron, aluminium and rubber is valued
at over s60,000,000.
Automobile manufacturers affirm
that the auto has dispensed with the
services of 100000 horses and
wagons up to date. They also give
the broad general estimate that the
average upkeep of a horse and wa
gon is siyty-five cents a day while
that of the average motor car is
only thirty cents per day.-The

BOOSTERS HOLD MEETING.
Sixty-Five Business Men of DEBORAH
Discuss Matters of Interest to
the City at Large.

All question as to whether or not
the booster spirit has taken hold of
the business men of DEBORAH was
settled by the showing made at the
meeting of the Commercial Club at
the city hall last night. Sixty-ive
business and professional men, all
imbued with the true booster spirit
the determination to ''get together
for DEBORAH" discussed various
matters for the good of the city and
adjacent territory.
In the absence of the president,
l.. B. Whitney was chosen to pre-
side. A vote of thanks was rendered
the banquet committee for the sue
cessful boosters banquet in their
charge.
The club voted to join the Iowa
League of Commercial Clubs.
The matter of improved train
service was discussed and a resolu-
ton passed urging added service
over the Rock Island.
The proposed s250,0OO.O0 endow-
ment for Luther College was dis
cussed and a resolution endorsing
the project unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Engbretson read letter from
the gas company stating that the
plant would be completed before
Jan. 1st.
Mr.. I. w. Brunt read an excellent
paper upon "Some Suggestions for
the Booster Club" which on motion
was ordered filed with the records.
Good roads was the subject which
occupied much of the time of the
meeting and was discussed at length
by number of the club members
various propositions being offered
1t was the unanimous sentiment
that the club ought to work in uni
son with the adjacent farming COM
munities, rendering them every as
oiotdhSc pOoolDic III lHc vi
permanent roads in this county.
| A committee was appointed to
provide a speaker for each regular
meeting of the club.
These and other matters of minor
import occupied the time of the
club. Every person present seemed
to feel that club such as this
holding regular meetings, for the
sole purpose of advancing the in
terests of DEBORAH and vicinity
would be of great value to the city
There is no doubt that the Com
mercial Club is a success, and it is
to be hoped that the same Interest
which now prevails may be kept vi
for some time to come, and may re
suit in great good to DEBORAH.

CURTAILING OF
APPROPRIATIONS
NOT ECONOMY
BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Term-
ing the avowed policy of economy
of the Taft administration as a
political exigency" which would
not prove to be economy in the long
run, Representative Hay of Virginia,
made a plea against the curtailing
of $1,35O,00O in the appropriation
for national guard encampments.
Hay said the administration did not
really mean to reduce the sexpendi-
lures permanently and if they did,
economy should not be practiced at
the expense of the citizen soldiers.
The amendment by Mann to reduce
appropriations to million dollars
in the interest of economy, and the
amendment was voted down. The
army bill will be put upon passage

watching the flight of two dirigible
balloons at Aviation Park this

Time and again Paulham thrilled

giving little heed to the rules and
regulations or the official course,
racing with the dirigibles, swooping
down upon the grandstand, and
clearing it by few feet until his
aeroplane seemed like thing of
life. This first day of the aviation
meet was given over to preliminary
flights to give the aeronauts a

For the past two weeks the mag
nitude of the recent strike in the
Belmont mine has been the subject
of considerable discussion, and
those who have ventured to the
1100-foot level of the mine and
examined the new ledge, pronounce
it to be the largest and richest vein
yet encountered in the Tonopah
mining district. Yesterday former
superintendent S. H. Brady brought
down several specimens. One of
these was on exhibition in Harry
Epstine's office for short time
and during that period it was ex-
amined by fully a hundred men.
The rock was fairly plastered with
native silver in which several spots
appeared to be an eighth of an inch
in depth. A close examination re-
vealed the fact that the silver pene-
ltrated all through the specimen and
not only on the surface as is gem

of silver, such as native, chloride,
and all the sulphides are found in

piece ran up in the thousands.

naming sample he was surprised

1t may possibly prove to be con-

$50 to SIS ton with punches in
