The different committees appointed
to prepare for the old settlers picnic
to be held in Denison on next
Wednesday, have been busy since our
last issue, and now have arrange

ment of the citys guests A suitable
program has been made up, part OF
which we published last week. The
full program appears on another page
of this issue. Hon. j. C. Milliman,
ex-lieutenant governor of Iowa, will
make the principal address, to be fol-
lowed by short talks from citizens of
the county. Starting at 1890 in the
forenoon, there will be games and
sports of interest to all and yet there
will be nothing that will detract from
a general good visit among neigh
bors and friends During the noon
hour free tea, coffee and cream will
be furnished and all should come pre-
pared for much feasting.
The committee will undoubtedly
provide conveyances for any of the
old settlers who are unable to walk
to the grounds, and the president, Mr..
Rollins, should be notified if con-
veyance is desired.

when the railroad building stops and
labor finds itself without employment
then the reaction is liable to take
place, and the people who have in
vested in high priced city property
will find something on their hands
which will disappoint them.
After all, we would hesitate long
time to advise a man who is in COM
Portable financial circumstances and
owns Iowa land to venture into the
new country, where great chances are
taken and fortunes are frequently
made and lost. TO the man, however,
who is not fortunate enough to own
land here we do not hesitate to say
North Dakota and Canada offer great
inducements for the price of land is
such that everyone can acquire it.

At present there is some activity in
baseball circles and from all indica
tons it is probable that Denison peo
pie will be able to witness some fine
games during the remainder of the
season. A baseball club has been or.
ganized and we understand they are
practicing every evening. There is
plenty of good material in Denison
for a winning team and it is thought
by those interested that the team now
organized will prove to be winner.
Chick" Frazier, who pitched last
season for the Ames college team and
who is now assistant surveyor of this
county, will help out in the pitchers
box. The first game is scheduled for
old settlers day, when the team will
cross bats with the Charter Oak or.
ganization. This should be good
game, as Charter Oak has an eXcep.
tionally good team, but the Denison
boys predict they will defeat them
with ''hands down.

Showery weather continued during
the week, with the average tempera
ture about normal, but the week
closes with much warmer weather
Showers were frequent, and the rain
fall heavy over the western two-thirds
of the state; the largest amounts OF
rainfall being reported from the Mis-

weather. Corn has made fair growth
and over the western half of the state
has received sufficient moisture to
mature the crop. Pastures and after.
math in meadows have been revived
and are now in fine condition. Late
potatoes also give promise of good
crop. Telegraphic reports indicate

preached across it and beyond it there
are mountains covered with snow, said
to be at times forty feet in depth
and never free from snow. The no.
tel facilities at the lake are certainly
the best that could be furnished and
vet the demands for rooms is so great
that passengers are compelled to
make thei arrangements for rooms
before going, lest they should be de-
MED accommodations on reaching the
lake, and be chilled by the cold at

Laggan or other places along the road
for accommodations.
Western Canada is now one OF the
busiest places on the earth; how
long this condition will last is ques-
ton. If the same development and
activity were shown in Iowa, we would
say it was a boom and would predict
an early explosion. The people in
that country talk about their great
resources and that the development
will continue Indefinitely, but we pre-
dict that history will repeat itself and
western Canada will find a set back
such as other localities in the coun-
try have experienced. While the rail
roads are paying out millions and
millions of dollars for new lines,
which are being constructed and there
is an insufficient number OF laborers
to supply the demand at good wages,
it is no surprise that the country is
developing as rapidly as it is, but
