territories south of the Danube from what
is now Rounlanian territory.
According to Roumanian pubicists there
are now 100000 "Macede- -Roumans' in Eu-
ropean Turkey. To the writer this esti-
mate seems prodigiously exaggerated 1t
is true that q large proportion-according
to some accounts so per cent-of the
Vlachs of Macedonia are nomads who
wander with their hocks and herds from,
Thessaly to the middle valley of the Var
dar and from sDurrazze TO Thrace. A
census of wandering shepherds generally
gives results that are well below the
truth, but the fact that there are not
more than 1900 Vlach houses in the Prov
inces of Salonika, Monestip and Kosseve,
and at most 5000 in Epirus, would give the
settled vlach population, according to or.
dinary methods of computation a maxi
mum of 100000 souls. 1t is therefore im-
probable that the total vlach popula-
ton of European Turkey exceeds 2o0, 600
This population is scattered in little
groups over an enormous area. 1t is only
on the slopes OF Grammos (Pindus) and its
eastern outliers that one finds large Vlach
settlements, such as Metrovo, on the
Greek frontier in South Epirus, Klissura
between Florina and kozitza, and Kru-
shevo, north of Monastir. In these towns
resides the large proportion of traders,
one finds among the settled Nlachs, a
race with abundant commercial aptitudes
and quite capable of holding its own in
business and commerce.

London. February 22.-(Speeian. To be
anxious to lend money that you hold in
trust for that purpose. and which is
pilling up relentlessly on your hands, and
yet not to be able to do so is a novel
predieament. but 1t is that of a highly
distinguished body in the city of London
today.
This body, of which the Lord Mayor,
the city chamberlain, and the two SEN
ior aldermen all are members. are SO
keen to find borrowers for thes money
that they have in charge that they ac-
t1ally have been advertising for such of
late. but, and to say, though the rate of
interest quoted is ridiculously low, the
supply of struggling young business men
desirous of being accommodated with
loans of from $500 to Sl50O is nothing like
equal to the demand for them.
The stumbling block is the conditions
imposed by the man VINO founded the
trust, one Samuel Wilson OF Hatton Gar
den, London, who departed this life IN
October, 1766. Wilson was a "gln-spin-
ner" or distiller. and he left his money
to be loaned In sums of from e10O to
GOO to young men in business in the city
Cor within a radius of five miles,, with
interest at one per cent IN the first year
and two per cent for the remaining four
years of the period of the loan. Unfor-
tunately, however. he laid it down, not
only that no one in his own limo of bus
mess could benefit under the trust, but
that all applicants must be Protestants
over 40 years of age, anu that each must
be able to declare that 1 have on the
whole gained and not lost since I have
been in business, and that l do not owe
more than l am able to pay"

WHAT MINNESOTA HAS DONE.
How Neiehboring State Has Provided
for Improved Road Conditions
Compared to Iowa.

In connection with the statewide
movement for improved roads in
Iowa it will be interesting TO take
note of what our neighboring state
of Minnesota has done in this re-
spect Robert A. Wright of the Des
Moines Register and Leader gives
some interesting facts in summing up
the situation in that state, in this
way:
Permanent highways are being
constructed at the rate of about 500
miles a year.
Gravel is the material most largely
used, the cost varying from 81, 200 to
$500 per mile.
Other materials used to some ex-
tent are macadam, costing from So
900 to $4,000 per mile and concrete,
varying from $3.50 to $4,000 per
mile, according to width of the pave
ment and distance of haul.
A start has been made in the mat
ter of systematic maintenance, thir-
ty-five men being employed by the
state and thirty-five by different
counties. Each man is assigned a
stretch of road ranging from six to
ten miles and is paid $50 month to
keep it in repair.
The Elwell law, under which the
state pays half, the county one-fourth
and the benefited property one
fourth the cost of construction, pay
ment being made in ten annual in
stallments, has been tried out sue
cessfully.
Practically all work is under the
supervision of the state highway
commission.
The building record of the past
two years has proved so satisfactory
that the people have authorized
mill levy, which will increase the
commissions funds from $350,00C
" %i,oVV,VVV yCoi dhu CAoOiC ~
to carry on the work on much more
extensive scale.
In Minnesota they come pretty neal
getting dollars worth of improve
ment for every dollar spent on the
roads. For the jurisdiction of the
highway commission does not stop al
the so-called state aid roads. 1t hal
supervision over work done wholly
with county funds where the expendi
ture is more than 5000. All sucf
work, as well as the building of state
roads, is superintended by assistan,
state engineers and must be approved
by the state commission before fina
acceptance.
In this way not only do the tax
payers get what they pay for. but the
work throughout the state is kept tc
a certain standard.
The law forbids persons in any
way connected with the highway
commission to have interest in road
work under jurisdiction of the com
mission, and thus far there has beer
no hint of any graft or other irreg.
ularity i'll road affairs.
In regard to materials Iowa has
considerable advantage over Mime
sofa so far as concrete is concerned
owing to the fact that Minnesota is
obliged to ship in cement. whereas
Iowa has an abundance within the
state. The difference in freight
charges would enable Iowa to build
this type of road somewhat cheape,
than Minnesota. Gravel of course
would cost about the same, as in
Minnesota. that is. from $1,000 te
$1.500 mile.

TWO BIG ATTRACTIONS
Splendid Productions Coming to the
Grand This Month.
II. w. ROSS IN 1.-THE ONLY SON.
AND "A MODERN EVE"
Managers Succeed After Depeated Ef-
forts to Book Thos. Ross for Next
Friday Evening and "A Modern
Eve" for March 18th.

The management of the Grand op-
era house feel that they have made a
ten strike in booking for this month
two of the very finest theatrical at
fractions in America. While they
come only week apart, Yet we feel
assured that the people will apprec-
late their coming here to the extent
that packed houses will greet both of
them, for the only way that produc-
tions Of this magnitude can be secur-
ed for small city like Decorah is for
the people to back up the managers
with liberal patronage. Thos. w. Ross
will be here on Friday night of this
week in "The Only Son.. and the
great musical extravaganza, !" A Mod
ern Eve" will come next week FRI
day.
Thos. w. Ross, who created and
made famous The Fortune Hunter"
and Checkers" offers as his play a
splendid American comedy drama en-
titled "The Only Son. by Winchell
Smith, author of 1.-The Fortune Hunt
err and "Brewster's Millions"
THE Only Son" gives Thos. w.
Ross unlimited opportunity to dis
tinguish himself as a player of great
merit. While THE Only Son" is a
powerful story it is not devoid of
comedy situations for there are many,
and logical episodes are brought out
as frame work for the more dram
attic situations, with back of all a
beautifully conceived love theme.,
In presenting "The Only. Son, Mr..
Ross considered every means by
which he could make it aSsstrictly
high-class entertainment, and offers
it elaborately set and carefully cast.
At this performance Managers Weis-
er and Bear assure patrons that he
will grant them treat in play con-
struction, a delightful hour for tho
lover of clean fun and pathos, and e.
nose enjoyable evening for every ad-s
mirer of fresh, crisp and original COM
edy. The same company that gave
THE Only Son" in Chicago and New
York will be in the cast here, includ-
ed among them being Lizzie Hudson
Collier, Campbell Collan, Wallace
Widdecomb, Osborne Searle, Eileen
Enrol, Booth Chaplin and Gladys Earl
colt.
"a Modern Eve"
The attraction for next week, Fri
day, March 18th, is no less superior
one. A year ago the managers saw
this great production in Chicago and
at that time prevailed upon its own
ers to send it to Decorah at some
time this season, and started to ad-
vertise it. Two or three times dur
ing the year it has been booked for
certain date and then cancelled, only
to be followed with a demand for it
by the managers, and finally the book
ing has been secured for next week.
1t is an immense production, and only
comes here upon the assurance of a
crowded house. 1t is one of the most
popular plays of the past season, and
we bespeak for it an enthusiastic re-
ception in Decorah.
