tributed in wages and about $1,000

MAY REVIVE OLD
STONE QUARRIES

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. II. It looks at
last as If the great quarries southwest
of town, and lying along the .Keokuk
branch, were again to come into their
own. The valuable properties have
come into the possession of Chicago
parties with strong financial backing
and as soon as the railroad can get in
the switch the machinery will be in
stalled and the crushing of rock begun.
That the quarries should in time be
recognized by engineers has been felt
a certainty by those who have looked
into the question. The quarries were
first opened thirty years ago when
the Burlington rock ballasted its right
of way. 1t was then the great industry
of the county. Crushed rock was fol-
lowed by burnt ballast and burnt bal
last gravel SO that the quarries were
abandoned and have not been worked
for twenty-five years. In the mean
while, samples Of the rock were exam
med by chemists and building engln-
GERS and declared to be very superior
for concrete work, but the right men
never got hold of the matter and
things have dragged along.

DIES MONIES STORES ARE TAX.

Des MONIES, Dec. 17.-"Orders TAX
en- for cigarets."
That is the answer-printed on pla-
cards in local cigar stores--to the
declaration Of NJ. s. Odle, attorney
for the Anti-Saloon league, that no
cigarets shall be sold in Des Moines.
1t is the reply Of scores Of local to-
bacconists who have stores in the
business district.
The dealers are still selling the
deadly coffin nails" the only diner
ence is that, they do not pay IL
cense fee of 5000 each for the priv
lege. incidentally a mulct tax OF
$4,000 year is lost to the public
Golfers.
BY failing to keep a stock Of cigar
cts on hand the dealers escape the
mulct tax. Instead, they take indi-
vidual orders and sell the original
packages, which are shipped in by
parcel post. The consumer pays the
postage from the factory to Des
Moines.
Attorneys have advised the cigar
dealers that they couldn't escape the
mulct tax if they ordered the cigarets
shipped to themselves and then re-
sold the original packages. The
pills" are shipped in the name OF
the purchaser. No orders are taken
for less than five packages.
AS one dealer expresses 1t, Mr.
Odle did us a favor which we are
just beginning to realize"
