IOWA LED IN THING
First Among all the States in Pro-
ducing Drain Tile.
GEOLOGICAL REPORT FIGURES
The Mineral Products Of the State In.
creased in Value and Coal Alone
Went Up In Price, Re-
port Shows.

Des Moines, Jan 29.-Iowa held her
position as first among all the states
In producing and using drain tile dur.
Ing the year 1908, according to min.
eral Production in Iowa." by s. W.
Boyer of Ames, which is part of
the Iowa geological report for that
year just sent to the state bindery by
State Printer Emory H. English. Dur.
Ing that year the output of sewer pipe
was doubled, and Mason City, with
eight completely equipped, monster
plants, became the greatest drain tile
manufacturing center in the world.
Webster county also came to the
front as drain tile producing center
during the same period. The gain in
the value of clay products for the en-
tire state was 10 per cent.
Mineral products of all kinds for
the year had value of $lS,090,447 as
compared with total of $17627,925 in
1907. The total value of coal mined
in the state was $11,772,22S as COM
pared with S12,25s,012 in 1907, and the
total value of clay products was s4,.
S7S,627 against $3,733,476 in 1907.
Since there was loss in the value Of
the coal produced, the total was due
to the opening of the Northwestern
States Portland Cement company's
plant at Mason City.
All prices were lower than In 1907,
except that of coal. the price of which
averaged cents ton higher, break
ing the record for high coal prices
since 1880. The loss in coal produc-
ton was nearly 6 per cent, and the
largest falling off was in Monroe
county. Polk and Mahaska were the
exceptions and showed a gain in the
amount of coal mined. The number
of men employed in the mines was
the largest and the number of days
of work the lowest since 1897.
Because of the manifold uses of &C.
ment introduced and generally prac-
for lettering the highways and roads
of the state there was a decided in.
crease in the sand and gravel produc-
ton. The amount of gypsum psoduc-
ed was less than in 1907, and its total
value was $564,6SS. Pottery showed
little change from 1907, the total value
being $1S,710, while the production of
raw clay was less than in the previous
year, with a value of only $500.
Stone production fell off 1914 per cent.
and the quarry output was worth only
$500 775. ~.

to join their husbands at Quincy, Mich
The letter of instructions that they
showed to the railroad agents I'm New

ton was given by Rev. James Pascoe.
and the Declaration OF independence
was read i'm a splendid manner by
Norman d. Starrett.
Hon. Norman w. Taire, in opening
his address said that I'm looking about
Tor a theme for his Fourth of July
speech he had read that Hancock was
to have an old-fashioned celebration
ana that the orator OF the day would
deliver n nold-fashioned speech. He
decided TO take that as the keynote OF
his remarks and devote his talk to
the rise and growth OF democracy and
the causes that led up to the demand
Tor freedom on the part of the colonies.
on such occasions as this, he said,
there Is no time and II is no place to
talk of railroads, or finance, or labor
problems, or socialism or anything but
patriotism, and everybody made to feel
that whether natives of the United
states or citizens by adoption all
should feel that they are first Of all
free Americans, with a voice I'm their
government. His remarks on the sub
ject of Democracy I'm America started
away back in the distant ages when
men first began to think about gov
eminent and to desire to have some
voice I'm governing themselves, on
the middle ages. and the struggles Of
the awakening masses against the ty-
rants who sought to rule by right of
might, down to the exodus from Eu-
rope of those seeking religious and po-
litical freedom in the new world, and
its outcome i'm establishing n free and
Independent nation when oppression
became intolerable. The address was
a most interesting and eloquent one.

capacity for couple of hours. In the

appreciated, ana the comfort and
pleasure os hundreds were provided
for in a most satisfactory Kramer.

interest and the fireworks in the even

where they could be observed b ythe
