GREAT INDUSTRY CLOSED.
Lumber Rafting to Cease on the
Mississippi River.

A Clinton dispatch says that the
spring of 1911 will mark an epoch
in the lumber industry in most of
the upper Mississippi river towns
and cities. In these centers of popu-
lation, where for many years the
lumber industry was paramount, the
wholesale and retail yard has taken
the place of the mill; and the pres
ent year practically brings to an
end the rafting of lumber from the
north.
In the old days of the river hun
dreds of millions of rough logs from
the pineries were RATED down the
river, and delivered to the mills
along the shore in various cities, to
be converted into lumber, shingles,
lath and strips. Then came the de-
cadence of the milling industry, but
lumber yards sprang up in almost
every river city, which received the
lumber from the river and transfer
ed it to the yards, whence it was
moved TO the planning mills to be
surfaced and prepared for the mar
ket. Now comes the third epoch.
A Clinton lumberman states that the
present year marks the practical end
all along the river of this process
for hereafter the lumber will be
brought to Clinton and to other
cities in the upper Mississippi val
ley by train, air-dried from the
north, or kiln-dried from the south,
and ready for the market. The
lumber will hereafter be shipped in
car load and train load lots, ready
for the market.
Local lumbermen are taking from
the river their pulling" machinery,
which operation spells the end of
rafting from the upper Mississippi
to Clinton. The same condition OBJ
tains elsewhere and the old Missis-
sippi seems to have outlived her
usefulness in this direction.

To wear your glad rags always and

To hit the high spots sometimes

The Burlington Hawkeye says it
will strike the impartial observer,
and especially that large element Of
republicans not actively identified
with either faction, that with an
ultra progressive like Mr.. Cummins
in the senate, it will be more equit-
able and conductive to party har-
mony, to accord to the regular re-
publicans at least the short term in
the senate. This duty and friend
ly opportunity" the Hawkeye con-
tinues, lis made the easier, and
every way logical, by the appoint
ment which the governor has made.
From the viewpoint of good politics
and republican unity, as we'll as the
best interests of the state, the wisest
course will be to elect Mr.. Young
