President w. W. Finley, of the
Southern Railway. after making tour
of the vast system in the South is
quoted as saying:

industry are reflected in Increased mill

timber iron ore and the Other raw
ma terials of the Southeast present ten

sources of production and to the build

He also remarks upon the very IA
orable crop prospects and comments in
praise about the increasing disposition
of farmers TO diversity their crops be-
sides their improved agricultural meth
DDS by which they are enabled TO pro-
duce cotton and other crops more eco
nomically and also place themselves
In the position Of being able to mar
ket their yields to greater advantage
than used TO be possible. Particular
note Is made that tho farmers. although
giving less acreage TO cotton are by
better methods able to obtain the same.
and even greater yields thereof. thus
maintaining their practical monopoly
Of the staple.

about the development of manufac-
lures near the sources of raw materials.

severe selling pressure, but traders
were not confident that the market had

Dealings were restricted further by
unfavorable advices as to the Euro

fact that another supreme court de-

uncertainty was evidenced when busi-
ness began, and the tone soon became

New York. n Y, Dec. 14.-R. G.
Dun & CO.'S weekly review Of trade
today says:
what appears to be the largest holt
dav retail trade ever known is IN
progress. this being a very practical
test OF the buying power OF the people
as a result of agricultural and indus
trial prosperity. with labor every
where fully employed. Indeed the
only limit to production in many lines
is the limit fixed by the scarcity OF
labor.
substantial business on staples ana
serni-staples and the demand for dress
fabrics is fair with notable steadiness
in the reordering of plain serges and
white silks is good
most manufacturers are wen employed.
Numerous supplementary orders, stipu-
lating. the earliest possible delivery, are
being placed and business in spring
lines is coming in much more free.

he learned that Chief of Police Don
ahue was looking for him. Mrs.
Smith had a warrant sworn out

HEARING IN ELECTION CASE
Judge Quinn Listening to Arguments
! at Waseca Today.
Eron, Wednesdav'a Daily,

Judge ]. NJ Quinn and Court Re-
porter Nicholas of Fairmont are at
Waseca today where the judge is
conducting a hearing in the Waseca
election contest, which Is waged be-
tween the "wets" and the "drys" OF
that town, and upon his decision
will probably depend whether that
city will be wet or dry the coming
year.
:, At the spring election there were
33S votes cast for license and $40
against license with ten blank bal
lots and one mismarked ballot. The
council decided the city was wet
and allowed the saloons to run, as
according to their Interpretation OF
the city charter, majority OF all
votes cast had to be against license
in order to vote the saloons out.
The no-license people employed
attorneys and are fighting the stand
taken by the city council.
