New News Of Yesterday
The Real DiscOvcrer of
Pemmican
BI HOLLAND

So near are we 10 the time when
Samuel Houston established the re-
public of Texas and became its nrst
and only president that only ten or
twelve years ago ] had frequent con-
yersatiOn with the man who was
treasurer OF the republic of Texas.
His name was David p. Barhydt, who
when ] knew him was president Of n
railroad company whose line was in
Michigan.
! had many conversations with him,
almost all of them reminiscent of the
days when the republic Of Texas was
in existence, although he Occasionlly
told me some interesting things as
sociated with General Houston after
he became United States Senator from
Texas
when Texas was a republic and ]
was treasurer of that republic, I made
the acquaintance of Gail Borden, who
afterward as you know, created a
great industry in the United States. l
presume very few persons know that
Mr. Borden did some remarkable
things long before he invented the
industry with which his name is now
associated.
when President Houston was in
Office he was persuaded that a sandy
island of the coast of Texas was
capable of high development and
would I'm time become an important
seaport. He wanted just the right
man 10 go there to survey the lots,
Law out the town and do all the
preparatory work necessary. He had
heard Of Gail Borden, who had been
doing some surveying in the vicinity
OF the town of Houston, and he en-
gagged Mr.. Borden 10 go to this island
to do the necessary surveying. Borden
went and he was really, in the sense
OF engineering and surveying. the
founder of the city Of Galveston
"I remember that on one occasion
Mr.. Borden said to me that he had
discovered in one of his surveying eN-
peditions in Texas that the chief dif-
fculty met with in opening that coun-
trv was the lack of food. There were
enormous stretches in which no food
fit for human being could be found
MIR. Borden told me that he had given
good deal OF thought to this and
had made up his mind that he could
prepare a food which would be nour-
IEIlIilE. WllltM WOuln hNNR WNAA -
climate and could easily be carried
He said that it was a sort Of meat
biscuit. He did make some. and the
pioneers took it and found 1t very
satisfactory.
what do you suppose that meal
biscuit was? II was nothing but thS
pemmican which was afterward sc
commonly used by the men who went
to explore the Arctic Ocean and tC
search for the North Pole. Mr.. Bor'
den had ceased making this biscuit
but when Mr.. Grinnell organized his
expedition which fitted out to explore
the waters around Greenland, an'
which made Dr. Kane famous, he was
advised by DR.. Kane to secure large
amount of this meat biscuit or penn
mican. I don't know where DR.. Kane
heard Of it. But he knew about Il
and so successful was it as a food fol
explorers in the arctic that 1t has al
ways been used"

WHY NOT SIX PER CENT?
Money in Savings and Loan Associa

Money in Savings and Loan Associa-
ton Is Secured by First Mortgages.
Can you beat per cent on first
mortgage security backed by new
houses in Marshalltown worth twice
the amount Of your loan? You can't
do it. In fact you can't find loan
as good as that without paying some
body commission and then the
chances are that the loan will not fit
the size of your pile.
Put your money in the Marshalltown
Savings and Loan Association for one
year in amounts Of 500 or multiples
thereof and it will earn per cent. on
first mortgage security without COM
missions or work on your part. When
the year is up take your money or in
vest it again.
The association will loan it on first
mortgages on houses and lots in Mar
shalltown as required by law. A board
of nine directors will approve the loan
and every officer Of the association
who handles money is under bonds filed
with the state auditor at Des Moines.
The Marshalltown Savings and Loan
Association is earning more than PEI
cent for its installmenr shareholders
most Of whom are also borrowers but
it can use investors money at PEI
cent and reloan it at a profit to its
shareholders. George F. Thayer. sec

Saved Money by 1t.

E. f. Lauten who recently bought
the entire stock OF the bankrupt
Swansea Lumber Company, employed
car of the Santa Fe company, this
week, to bring his lumber to Parker
AT the yards he hired three men
whom he found thereabouts to load
this lumber, and paid them their due
AS the train was about to couple on
the car and pull out, these three men
approached Lauten and recited
hardluck story. They said that after
they had paid their arrearages for
board they had nothing left. They
wanted to get to Parker to look for
work, and would he not be so kind
as to loan them the price of their
fare. AS Lauten knew the men, he
was about to comply with the request
when a happy thought struck him.
Hop into my car there and hide
away in the lumber said Lauten,
"and you can ride down free" They
did so and in due time the car was
closed and sealed with the men in
side. just before the train pulled
out, however, the conductor who had
been quietly taking in the free-ride
conspiracy, ordered Lautens car Oh
the scales to be re-weighed. The re-
suit was that it weighed nearly 400
pounds more than it did before,
which additional cost OF probably
$1.25 was charged to the shipper.
That was one ON Lauten and the
conductor no doubt laughed in his
sleeve. But as Lauten effected
saving OF about $3.50 by the trans
action, it would rather look as though
the burden of the joke was on the
other fellow after all.

A jolly Affair.

A pleasant social event was the
party given on Jan. 2, by Frank Tis-
dale in honor of his old schoolmate,
Spencer Graves, on the eve of his
return to school in Los Angeles
The Tisdale home was made beauti-
full for the occasion by decorations
carried out in green and red, with
the seasonable holly much in evil
dence. The young people made
the evening a merry one with lively
ga0es and sociability. The refresh
ments were much enjoyed, especially
the novelty of the evening, a huge
new year pie, each piece of which
connected with the pretty place cards
with a streamer of ribbon, upon wind
ing in the ribbon each guest found
themselves in possession of pretty
souvenir, or something amusing or
instructive.
Those enjoying the occasion were:
Misses Clara Roberts, Irene Bryant,
Clara Osborne, Beulah Ryder, Edyth
Babcock, Lucy Turk, Margarette Coy
kendall, Mamie Hosfelt, Messrs.
Roberts, Hosfelt, Ryder, Graves, Ry-
singer, Bauers, Tisdale, and the we'll

WOULD REsURMIT NEW LAW.

PRESCOTT, Jan. 5.--Waking up TO
the fact that a number of the laws
enacted at the last election are detsfi-
mental to the best interests Of the
state, a large number of representa-
tive business men of Prescott organ
lied last night to inaugurate a state
wide movement for the purpose Of
having the legislature call a special
election, the object of which is 20 re-
peal the so-called mothers pension"
law, eighty per cent and anti4bla ckIst
laws.
Under the provision CT the constitu
tion the legislature must call a spe-
cial election upon being petitioned by
Is per cent of the votes cast for gov
ernor at the preceding election.
A committee was appointed to write
to leading merchants in every county
to cooperate in the movement and
take steps to have a delegation pres
emit at a convention to be held in
Phoenix in the near future when def
mite plans will be discussed.
The legislature of the state of
Washington has just called spec
ial election under a provision of its
constitution, and this is what sug
gested the feasibility of similar ac-
tion being taken in Arizona.

BIG SURVEY.

The Santa Fe Railroad company
has deposited $4,000 with Surveyor
General S. F. Ingalls, to cover the

Lands to he eliminated lie adjacent
to the main line of the road and ex-
tend through the northern tier of
counties. The survey will require ten
and will occupy about four months.
1t is probable that the parties will be
organized and sent out about Janu-
airy 18th.
