mission buying was of sufficient vol
ume today in wheat to overcome the
early dip in prices. Initial pearish-
ness resulted from weakness of for

of the domestic cash situation led to
a rally. The opening was II to 1Ac

clined to 95Ac and reacted to 96Ac.

Lee county's decrease in popula-
ton for 1910 over 1900 does not come
from Keeokuk.
That's what the optimists have
been claiming right along since The
Gate City last Sunday morning pub
lshed the census figures showing the
population of Lee equity to be 96,702
as against 39,719 ten years ago. The
announcement was Immediately ta-
len up by the pesimists who cheer
ed wildly and declared that Keokuk
would furnish one-half of this loss of
1000 people.
The time is ripe to spring the tell
tale table on these knockers and same
is published below, showing that ac-
cording to the votes cast at last Tues
days election and the same votes
cast at the election of 1906 and 1908,
Keokuk has been holding her own
while every country precinct in Lee
county with the exception of Donnell-
son shows a falling off in votes. with
the city of Fort Madison showing a
loss in four of its six wards.
The table printed below is the

A LOVE TRAGEDY.
RuskIn's Alteration Of the Lovely Ross
La Touehs.

Ruskin's Alteration Of the Lovely Ross
La Touehs.
In 1858, when RuskIn was In his
fortieth year. he was asked by friend
TO give some lessons 10 dra wing TO a
child named Hose In Touche. whose
name. Indeed. was French. but whose
family were irish. There sprang up
between Ruskin and this young girl q
very charming friendship. which. OF
course. az the time could be nothing
but friendship They wrote each
other letters and exchanged dra wings.
and then for awhile they did not meet.
Ten years pnssed by before they saw
each other. Meanwhile the child.
whom he had remembered as blue
eyed. saucy. clever little blond with
ripe red lips and hair like tine spun
gold. bud become u very lovely young
woman OF nineteen. They resumed
their old acquaintance. but IN very
different way. Though Ruskin was
now nearly 1fty, he gave TO Rose La
Touche an alteration and passion
such ns he hnd never felt before. On
her side she no longer thought Of him
ns very ugly" but was singularly
drawn TO him despite the difference
IN their years.
The two met often. They took long
strolls together In the pleasant belds
OF Surrey. and at last Ruskiu begged
her TO make him happy and TO be bis
wife. oddly enough. however. she hes
itated. not because he was 30 much
older than herself. but because be had
ceased to be what she regarded as "a
true believer" Some of the things
that he had written shocked her as
being almost athelstic. She was her
self. underneath all her gniety Of man.
ner, a rigid and incorporating Prot
estant. She used phrases from the
Bible In her ordinary talk. and when
she spoke OF marriage with John Rus
kin she said that she could not endure
10 be "yoked with an unbeliever."
Yet her heart was torn at the thought
OF sending him away. and 80 for sew
eral years their intimacy continued,
he pleading With her and striving bard
to make her see that lore was every.
thing. She. on the other hand. read
over those passages OF the Old Testa-
ment which seemed to bar all com
promise.
At last. In 1872, when she was TWEEN.
ty.four aud he was fifty.three. she
gave him her fnal answer. She would
not marry him unless he could believe
as she did. Ills honesty forbade him
TO deceive her by a pretended conver-
sion. and 80 they parted. never to see
each other again. How deeply she was
affected Is shown by the fact that she
soon fell III. She grew worse and
worse until at last II was quite certain
that she could not live. Then Ruskin
wrote to her and begged that be might
see her. She answered with note In
which she feeby traced the words:
"You may come II you can tell me
that you love God more than you love
me-"
When Ruskin read this bis very soul
was racked with agony. and he cried
out:
"No, no: then ] cannot go TO her. for
I love her even more than God"
When she died. as she did soon after.
the light OF his life went out for Rus.

BOURNE ASKS OPINION IN RE.
GARD TO NEW HOMESTEAD LAW
Washington. d. c., Jan 25.

am senulnR TINS gen.
eral form Of letter to many news
papers, oranges and commercial
organizations of Oregon for the
purpose of getting before the
people the idea have embodied
in bill | shall introduce in the
Senate that production OF crops
rather than residence upon a
homestead is the essential of sue
cessful and most efficient devel-
opment Of urrescurces. | lhave
done this in the hope that the
people of Oregon will favor their
delegation in Congress with their
views us to the wisdom Of the
proposed legislation.
lam informed by Mr.. William
Hanley, an extensive stock rails
er IN Harvey County. that there
are 10000, 900 acres Of vacant
land in Eastern Oregon incapa-
BILE Of irrigation, but nearly all
Of it susceptible Of cultivation
under the scientific methods now
in vogue in "dry farming. Mr..
Hanley's suggestion Of crop pro-
duction rather than residence as
the consideration for title in
creasingly impresses my mind.
II the bill which have prepar-
ed should become a law, the
homesteader on non-irrigable
land in what is known as the ar
i'd region need not live upon his
land at all. but must live within
the state. He must cultivate it
either personally or by represen-
tative and he must show by an
nual proofs that within period
Of five years the land has pro-
duced crops If a total value Of
1880.
Assuming that MIR. Hanley's
estimate of 10000, 600 acres of
vacant land in Eastern Oregon is
correct and that the same can be
brought under cultivation by
adoption of what is known as
dry farming, this area Of land
would furnish opportunity for
60, 900 homestead entrymen who,
before they could acquire title,
would be obliged to produce
crops of a total value of ninety
millions Of dollars. Thus 1t win
be seen that the nation, state
and community would be benefit
ted in the development of our
natural resources, wealth in
creased, and, what is more i'm
portant, a class of citizens gain
ed who would be obliged to pro-
duce rather than merely live on
the land "a population of work
ers.
In its present condition and in
the present state of settlement
and transportation facilities most
of this land is not suitable for
home-making, though it could be
cultivated by men who would
make their homes elsewhere, or
upon the land through only O
part of the year.
My bill is based upon the theo-
ry that if a tract Of land is made
productive 1t will provide some
family with q home even though
that family lives in a town near
the land rather than upon the
land itself, and that, therefore,
all of the essential objects of the
homestead law will be accom-
plished. The great difficulty un-
der the present homestead law
is that a great many men who
settle upon land underline home
stead act do as little cultivating
as the law will permit and avoid
as many as possible of the Gov
ernment's requirements and the
land is not made productive.
Believing that production is
the real essential, | made that
the most important feature of
