of Ottosen.
1t was named by Senator Dolliver
when the postoffice was created for
the benefit Of the thriving community
Of which Ottosen is the center.
The name was given 1t by Senator
Dolliver in honor Of Chris Ottosen,
founder Of the town, and who was
Identified with the commercial ad-
vance of Humboldt county In the last
quarter of century.
That Mr.. Ottosen is now pure
food inspector for the state of Iowa
and that he is candidate for the re-
publican nomination for state railroad
commissioner rather serves to give
point to the splendid development Of
the town of Ottosen than to detract
from the history of that little town
which is perfectly typical of hundreds
OF other active, prosperous, ambitious
little communities scattered over the
rrairies of northern Iowa
Ottosen Is just like all the others. 1t
was established because Of the actual,
pressing need for local market. Ex-
actly half way between Bode and West
Bend, its establishment made it pos
sible for the people within radius Of
five or six miles to find there not only
an easy opportunity to trade, to sell
their produce, to buy goods but also
a social center; and in these social
centers, with their churches and
schools and lodges and clubs and par
ties and lectures and chautauqua
courses and Northumberland now
their garages for automobiles-lies
the inspiration to the rural COM
munities everywhere to participate in
the activities, the joys and the
achievements of the world
But new town doesn't grow out Of
the ground at the beck and call Of
single man. 1t is the result Of co-opera-
ton Of many ambitious and hustling
men. the settlers around about. and
that other tremendous engine for up
building and prosperity, the railroad.
AS in the case of every other such
center. the railroad was responsible
for Ottosen.
Chris Ottosen had been buying grain
at Humboldt for himself and his
brother in 1895. Over half way be-
tween Bode and West Bend the Bur
iington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
Railway Co. had put in switch and
had provided accommodations there
for loading freight cars with grain
hauled to the spot by the producing
farmers around that section. It was
called Russell siding. It's establish
ment saved the producers the neces-
sity Of hauling their grain and driving
their stock on Iowa roads two, three
four. five or six miles in order to get
transportation to market 1t was dis
play of genuine intelligence on the
part Of the old B., G. r. & N official
whose effort to develop the territory
along their railroad by furnishing
accommodations to the producers was
loyalty and warmly appreciated in
every section the line crossed.
So it was that Chris Ottosen went
over to Russell siding to buy grain
early in 1895, and within a year, with
all the enterprise. and energy which
have been the capital Of all the youth
of Iowa. the capital that has put rep
resentative men among them at the
head of most Of the big enterprises Of

CHRIS OTTOSFN
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
Republican Candidate

The following sketch of the town Of
Ottosen, Iowa, and it's founder, Chris
Ottosen, after whom the town was
named by Senator Dolliver at the re-
quest of it's citizens in honor Of the
efforts in behalf of the town by Mr..
Ottosen, is Of especial interest to the
voters of the state, who on June 3 next
will again make their nominations for
railroad commissioner. Certainly a
man who has the ability to found and
establish a city and who Is able,
through his business ability and fair
ness to the railroads, to show the rail-
roads where it was to their interest
to help the farmers make their town
success, is most competent to act as
state railroad commissioner. Chris Of
tosen is exactly the man needed by
the people of the state of Iowa as their
railroad commissioner for the reason
that he recognizes that the people
need the railroads and that the rail
roads need the people and that the
welfare of the one depends upon the
prosperity Of the other. He believes
that the people should be served by
the railroads fairly and impartially
and without discrimination, they being
public service corporations, but as a
business man he knows that the regu-
lation of public service corporations,
should be carried only to the point of
producing the highest efficiency in
their service to the public without be-
ing destructive to the corporations,
and it is on. this fair common sense
platform that he Is making his cam
paign.
Chris Ottosen is a native Iowan Of
Norwegian parentage and American
education and instincts; Is In the
prime of life and of most gentle
manly bearing and the press Of the
state already comedies his nomination
over N. S. Ketchum, his only oppon-
ent, who has acted as railroad COM
missioner for six years.
Following Is the sketch OF this in
teresting town and it's founder:

TEXAS HARVEST
PROSPECTS GOOD
COLLAPSE OF AN ATTEMPTED
LIVERPOOL SQUEEZE IN MAY
CONTRACT FAvoRs BEARS.

Chicago, May 31.-Splendid harvest
ing prospects in Texas brought about
cheaper prices for wheat today. At
first, however, an upward tendency de-
veloped owing to the fact that no rain
Of consequence had fallen over Kansas
or Nebraska. The skies were CLOUDY in
both those states. Collapse of an at
tempted squeeze in May contmacts at
Liverpool acted also as an influence in
favor Of the bear side. Opening prices
here were unchanged to lac higher.
July started at Sill to $1.111s "a gain
Of Y on to A@h and then fell to
$109%.
Statements that 100000 of the g.,
100000 acres Of wheat In Kansas were
involved In the threatened disaster by
drought caused the market to rally but
reports Of rain in Nebraska and Kan
sas, led to another setback. The close
was weak with July &c net lower at
$1.10@1l0h.
Spectators hammered corn on ac-
count Of the weakness of wheat. Prices
were fairly we'll sustained nevertheless
as a result of the commission houses
picking up offerings at moderate de-
cline. July opened u to n off at 747s
to 70, touched 75@75hs and reacted to
74%c.
Slowness of cash demand resulted in
further dio, but the effect did not
last. The close was firm al 75c even, a
net loss of hc.
Predictions of rain where needed for
oats made that cereal easy. Selling was
general. July started " to Nc lower at
49A to 49A and sagged to 49Ac.
Provisions suffered from scattered
liquidation on the part of longs. Most
of the unloading was in pork. Initial
sales ranged from 12hc lower to sc adj
vance with September options $3.50 to
$1s.45 for pork, $10.77k for lard and
$10.42h for ribs

Now" said Chris Ottosen, yester.
day, the town of Ottosen and the peo-
pie 1t serves are no different from
many. possibly hundreds Of other
towns, and all the people OF the whole
state Of Iowa.
Iowa towns arl Iowa people are
entltled to good railroad service and
10 service that keeps up with the
much and that is all that fair minded
men 40 ask of the railroads. 1t was
the idea OF the railroad pioneers in
iowa, who did work In developing the
state whose value Is inestimable In.
deed the roads were built by men
who saw In the development OF the
state the growth and prosperity Of the
railroads. But when the properties
PASSED from the builders to specu-
lators or to those Interested solely in
dividends this valuable cooperation
was lost sight Of, too often, and a
policy OF cutting off the service OF
patrons already on the books sup
planted policy OF securing new bust
ness. 1t is not difficult to see why.
How easy il a$deal on Wall street re-
nnires million or five million OF dol
lars, to cut off enough labor. to close
enough stations, to withdraw enough
trains quickly to make It UP.
ut would be possible. imagine. to
figure out 1ust how many Ottosens
would have to be wiped of the map to
furnish the money to build a ten NIL
lion or fifty million dollar terminal
in an eastern city. =
"The truth is can think Of nothing
quite so important to iowa as good
train service.
"The history OF the town OF Ottosen
is not different from that Of any MIN.
Der OF such places
What Is the difference between
dead town and live town? Study 1t
minute. Isn't 1t railroad service?
1T every man had lived in his
original birth place and no one ever
had gone out into the world to VISIT
his fellow man, suppose the wants
Of man would still be very simple. But
i can see how easy access to our
neighbours has duickened the mind and
has been responsible for the creation
of unnumbered wants. In TRANSPORTING
supplies to satisfy these wants the
railroads have their, share in the gen
eral prosperity which activity in bust.
ness always means. ,
IF Ottosen still were a siding, GER
tainly there would have been no bust
ness there for the railroads excepting
freighting out the products OF the
fields. But the railroads gave us serv.
ice and the peoples wants and needs
RAPIDLY increased, for the activity In.
cident to building new town served
to develop demands in every direction.
II is this vital thing which means pros.
perity and development for the com
munity and for the railroad as well.
II am not fighting the railroads Of
Iowa
"But am firmly convinced that the
development Of the Greater Iowa de-
ponds on good railroad service.
"And j stand for that. for 1t will
make Greater Iowa and It will pros
per- not harm, the railroads them
selves"
