was the Tight made and New York
wheeled into line solidly In favor OF the
reforms within the party. In Mas
sachusetts. Lodge and Crane have fav-
oref the Cummins plan. and in other
all agreed. Senator Penrose is today
almost alone in his opposition to the
plan.
That which is proposed by the pro-
gressives has no relation whatever to
the progressive party. but only has re-
lation to the republican party. 1t Is
wholly a party matter.
What Is proposed can not be called
by any stretch Of the Imagination, a
plan to "reunite the party" or to bring
back the strays." nor to attempt any re-
organization Of the republican party
with view to suiting the desires Of
persons not Of the party.
The national conference will have for
its purpose the taking OF such action,
whatever that may be, that will leave
no doubt anywhere that in the future
the men who compose the party and
upon which it must ever rely for it's
success shall have the right to dom.
mate It's affairs in every state and the
nation even as they do in Iowa and
similar states where republican prin-
ciples are exacted for the party itself
as completely as for the state. When
that is done, and the men who sit ~
conventions and the candidates who re-
ceive the party vote. truly represent
the voters of the party, it will be or
ganized for successful fighting.

OAKLAND MILLS PLANT OPENS.

for nearly two years the big wheels OF

volving at $50 Saturday afternoon.

was closed down for repairs directly
after it was completed. thru damages
caused by an ice jam. The Iowa Pow
err Company did not have sufficient
money to make the necessary repairs
and the plant remained closed. I'm
mediately large number Of damage
suits were brought by farmers whose
land had been overtowed by the rails
ing of the dam. The plant has been In
litigation ever since.
This year Mr.. Ralph Burtis, of Osh-

the court and in July of this year. un-

work for over ten weeks. Immediately
the plant was lit by electricity. The
repairing and placing in working con-
dition Of this huge project after it had
been practically abandoned came as a
surprise to many people in this COM
munity. After a large fortune HAD
been spent in building the plant, II
looked as If it would be permanently
closed thru litigation and the inability
OF the company financially.
The electrical apparatus that Will
conduct the power to Fairfield has been
completely overhauled. The company
will have an immediate market for
their power as soon as it can be fur
nished. In addition to the current fur
nished Fairfield a large number of the
towns within radius of thirty miles
and not touched by the Keokuk project
can be furnished with light and power.
If everything goes we'll Fairfield will
be supplied with power in less than
three weeks.

Des Moines. Oct. 7.-Despite the i'm :
preston which has been prevailing
that convicts at the Iowa state prison
at Fort Madison have no chance what
ever to engage In honorable toll. but
in the main are treated terribly. the
fact seems to be that Warden Sanders
Is a popular man, and it is literally
true that they all swear by Sanders"
At least that is the impression which
Secretary Forrest Treat of the board
OF control. obtained on his visit last
week to the Fort Madison prison after
talking personally with great many
of the men. The prisoners have come
to know that Warden Sanders is their
friend and intensely in earnest in do
ing all he can to help each and every
one to get the best out of life and make
the most of himself
Secretary Treat also found that,
contrary to the conditions which for
merly prevailed, the men who need
help do not hesitate to hire men from
the prison. There is growing demand
for this labor on the outside, and at
times it comes in handy. For in
stance. the county or township was do
ing some heavy road work and there
was a gang out with Il big grader near
Fcrt Madison. But there was a lot Of
brush and trees to be cleared before
good work could be done with the ma
chinery. Those in charge sent to the
prison and q big force of men was
sent right out to do this heavy work.
There were fifty-one men who slept
outside the walls the day I was here.
said Mr.. Treat. "rhere We're two or
three gangs out baling hay. and a
farmer sent in for some men to help
on his barn because other workmen
had failed him. That is the way this

REBEL ARMY |S

After It's Capture General Villa Will Join Carranza and United Army
 Will Attack Capital.

JUAREZ, Dec. 1.-General Villa, with an army numbering several thousand men, is marching on the city of Chihuahua. The army is we'll pro- visioned and have plenty of ammuni- tion. The general is confident that he will be in possession of the city in less than week. The city is poorly fortified owing to many of the federals troop having been with drawn to support the government army in other districts.
 After the fall of Chihuahua Gener- al Villa plans to join forces with General Carranza and march upon Mexico City. The rebels are in pos session of almost the entiree northern states and with the fall of Chihuahua the federal troops will be without re- serves in the north from which to draw men and supplies. The garri- son there is also well supplied and the rebel leaders are counting on it's capture in their plans for the march southward.

AFTER THE COLD
 STORAGE DEALERS
Bill Introduced Into House Which
 of Food Stuffs to Months.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Congress- man Mcclellan, of Tennessee, has in- troduced g. bill into the House pro- viding for the regulation of the cold storage business. Under it's provis- ions beef which has been in stor age for more than seven months will be considered unfit for human con- sumption. Butter, eggs, mutton, pork, and poultry of all kinds will be limit ed to three months.
 The cold storage dealers through out the country are strongly opposed to the measure, claiming that the linn it is entirely too short in all cases. They assert that it is necessary to keep the products of the spring and summer in storage for the winter, when there is a scarcity of all the articles mentioned in the list.
 The dealers declare that the bill will work a great injustice if passed, as it will practically destroy the cold storage business They would wei. come the most rigid inspection by the government at all times. The deal- CTS will make an effort to have the limit extended to cover one year, claiming that many persons in the country who are able to buy cold storage supplies would be unable to secure some of the articles during many months of the year. They pro- fess to believe that eggs, poultry and many kinds of meat would increase enormously in price if the measure is passed.

PORTLAND AFTER
 ALASKAN TRADE
Commercial Organizations of the Rose City Have Succeeded in Inducing
 Dollar Co. to Enter Field.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 1.-The Chamber of Commerce and other com mercial organizations of this city have closed negotiations with the officials of steamship company to place line of steamers in the Alaska trade from this city. The first steamer will leave this port on January 1, 1914.
 The need of steamer service from Portland to Alaska has been urged by the commercial organizations for years but the companies have always failed to secure guarantee of suf- ficient freight to warrant the expense to trying the experiment. During the past summer number of cannery owners, who have headquarters in this city, agreed to give their busi- ness to the Robert Dollar Steamship company if they would maintain a regular service The company has agreed to do so and steamers now lying at San Francisco will come north this month for the trade.
 The company plan to place steam CTS specially adapted to the trade in commission. They will have large freight capacity and good passenger accommodations. Next summer line of steamers will be placed on the Nome run and if satisfactory connec- tions cannot be made with the river steamers a service will be organized as the Portland people are determin- ed to secure their share of the Alaska trade.

GIVE
 WARNING OF FIRE

Firecrackers served as an efficient fire alarm in the case of house that caught fire in Minneapolis recently. Acting on the suggestion of a member of the fire department, the owner, when building his house, had scatter ed firecrackers among the rafters, studding, flooring and wall spaces. A test of this novel fire alarm system occurred recently when fire broke out during the night. The popping of the firecrackers set off by the flames, awoke the sleeping occupants of the house, who were able to put out the fire before it had got beyond control. Some firemen assert that this plan has no equal in giving an early alarm.
