Iowa, and here in Webster county,
we know why the prices Of meats,
potatoes. and all kinds of food are
high. When pastures are burned
up by drought as they were last
year, and when hay and corn go to
famine prices, it is certain that
meats will be scarce and dear. Go
around Webster county and inquire
how many farmers have had the
courage to fatten cattle for the mar
ket during the past year.

Mason City, July IA warm
contest, which involves two railroad
companies, several property owners
and the mayor and city council, as
we'll as several local attorneys, is
now in progress here between the
Great Western and the Northwest
ern railroads.
At a meeting of the city council
yesterday both sides presented their
case.
In laying track for yard extension
and the erection of joint passen-
ger depot by the Rock Island and
the Great Western roads, the Great
Western proposes to close Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth streets, which in
tersect both their line and the
Northwestern.
To this the Northwestern objects,
J. G. Davis of Cedar Rapids, gener-
al attorney for the latter road, has
been in the city for some days go
ing over the matter. L. G. Fritsch,
Chicago chief engineer of the Great
Western, is here and is opposing Mr..
Davis.
A few feet south of the point in
contention the Great Western pro-
poses to erect freight depot block
in extent. Indirectly the Rock
Island is involved, as the passenger
depot this road will build jointly
with the Great Western Is within
forty feet OF the Northwestern depot
and its location will be advantage
Gus to them If the track tangle is
decided in favor of the Great West

the price of Iowa land year by year?
Is it not that there are no more
Iowas to be settled no more lands
to be had? The Messenger advo-
Gated the reciprocity treaty with
Canada because it is satisfied that
the prices Of food are high because
of natural causes and Independent
of the tariff. They have had as
great an advance in Canada as in
the United States. s8
Cotton and wooden goods are high
because cotton and wool, like other
agricultural products and raw ma
terials, are demanded to suit the
wants of growing population.
When food and clothing are high
wages must advance and this makes
all goods cost more money.
These tendencies are not confined
to the United States; they are
worldwide. The greatest advance
has been in the products of the soil.
Few other commodities have adj
vanced SO much as Iowa's chief pro-
duct, corn. Manufactured goods
have not advanced SO much as the
raw materials that enter into them,
because invention and organization
are constantly decreasing the cost
Of fabrication.
These are the plain truths about
the rise of prices. Anybody who
seeks dispassionately to learn the
facts will find them to be SO. It
may be well to briefly state them
once more, just before the flood
gates of political buncombe are
opened.

Holding County Office.

Humboldt Republican,: The Re.
publican has repeatedly stated that
| it believed county Office was curse
to any man who had marketable
ability. One does not have to delve
far into the county records to prove
this. Occasionally there is an ex-
ception. But ordinarily when a
young man accepts county Office, he
finds when he has finished his terms
that he could have accomplish ed
much more in some other direction
The trouble with county Office, aside
from the constant drain on the
purse that makes the salary about
half what it appears in the records
is that just when you have served
long enough to be proficient and II
you were working for corporation
you would get substantial raise Of
wages or a place in the firm, the
county drops you out of employ.
ment. In other words, on leaving
county office you have to start al
over again. The niche you carved
for yourself or would have carved
for yourself had you been in The
employ of corporation, is filled by
another man, You have to start a.
the bottom and 1t takes longer t
get where you were when you en-
tered county Office, than it would il
you had never been out OF toucl
with the business world.
