cepted, strange to say, was based up
On prosperity, rather than adversely.
Land values had been increasing at
such a rate in Iowa, for years, that
the smaller holders, in large numbers.
were selling This was particularly
the case among the smaller farmers
with large families. They could not
divide the land they possessed IN
Iowa profftably among their children.
but they could sell fifty or q hundred
acres for a price which would enable
them to purchase a section IN the
Canadian prairie provinces.
Many Iowa farmers moved to O1n-
ada or to the United States west, in
the last decade and in the early part
of the present one. The immediate re-
suit was that farms became larger
and farm owners fewer In the state.
A state census just completed shows,
however, that the pendulum is swing
ing back. The population at the pres
ent time is put at 2,35S,666, q very
wholesome gain.
In a general sense, the progress Of
the state has, Of course been continu-
GUS since its admission to the union.

population. Ten years ago illiteracy
was reported as 1.5 per cent. The
state has newspapers and periodicals
to the number of 1850; there are g.
Dts students in its institutions OF
higher education. and Its general Ii
braries contain more than $3.50 900
volumes.
While there has been a tendency to-
ward larger land holdings, it Is en-
couraging to learn, from this latest
survey Of the state, that more than
fifty-nine per cent Of the Iowa farm
ers own farms, wholly or in part. No
| better wish could be expressed for
the state than that the proportion OF
its tenant to Is proprietary farmers
may never become greater.

IOWA MINERAL
PRODUCTS BIG
Value Of Output In 1915 Was Over
Twenty-Seven MiIiions-coal
Chief Mineral Produced.

The Iowa geological survey, In CO.
operation with the United States geo.
logical survey. has compiled the sta
tistics of mineral production in Iowa
for 1915. The value of the output for
the year was $27,003,020, which is the
highest figure of record for the state,
and exceeds the value of the output for
1914 by $701,155. Year by year, for
several years, the value of the mineral
output Of Iowa has increased. During
the three years previous to 1915 the
value of the outputs wete as follows:
In 1912, $2,S10.266; in 1913, $25,612,-
345 and in 1914, $26, 3O1 .S65; decade
ago, in 1906, the value OF the output
was only $16,414.447.
Coal continues to be the chief min
erai produced in Iowa, clay and clay
products rank second, cement ranks
third. and gypsum fourth. In 1913
these four products had value OF
S25664,S64, which is somewhat more
than 95 per cent Of the total value OF
all the mineral products. In 1915 the
value at the mines OF the output OF
coal was $13,577,06S; in 1914, the
value was s1S,364,07O. The total ton
mage of coal mined in 1915 was T.

ccalproducing counties in 1915 in
order OF tonnage we're Monroe, Polk,
Appanoose, Lucas and Marion. These
five counties produced more than
100000 tons, Monroe county alone
having produced more than 2,C0o,Voo
tons. For the first time In recent
years Lucas county now occupies an
important Mace among the coal pro-
ducins counties Of the state. The
average number Of men employed in
coal mining in Iowa n 1915 was 49,

it right and quick. we'll give you a
chance to do it; but If you don't, well
pass the bill for bridge over the dam
this session. Oh! it's none of my af-
fair how you get the money. That's
up to you. I'm simply telling you what
will happen, if you don't rebuild that
bridge right away. If you can't do it
for lack of money, as you say, Well
have to pass the dam bill permitting
a railroad on top of the dam"
And Adamson Remembered.
Gilman finally asked for time to
consult his folks which was granted
with the proviso in Adamson's most
emphatic manner:
But If I'm not convinced before
February that you are actually start
ing to rebuild that bridge at once,
We'll pass the dam railroad bill be-
fore congress adiourns as sure as
there's Mississippi river"
February came without any word
from the old bridge people If they
hoped that Adamon, in the whirl of a
thousand important congressional
matters and near the end of the ses-
sion, would forget them and Keokuk's
bridge. they did not know Adamson OF
Georgia. He wrote them a letter of
some length and much strength, which
really reads something like Roosevelt
peeved, the essence of which VISA
this:
II have not heard from you and the
time is about up. You can't play horse
with me for a minute. Unless you
show me actual and material acts
starting a new bridge at Keokuk by
the date told you on the train, I'll
report out and pass the Keokuk bill
for railroad on top of the DAM
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-11-10
when Scot Met southron.

This brought quick request for q
little more time from Secretary Gil
man and more talk about the difficulty
Of raising money to rebuild the bridge.
To this Adamson answered in ef-
feet:
II want to be fair with you, and I'll
give you ten days more time; I can
do this the more easily, since I have
the Keokuk bill in position to bring It
UP and pass 1T any day-and it will
pass before the session ends, unless
you start new brioge."
There was some further correspond
ence, but Adamson's letters were all
alike and in one key. However stub
born Is Scot, and however he hates
to spend real money, one celebrated
Scot who built the old bridge when he
was becoming the king Of steel forty
years ago found himself in front Of a
Georgian who was standing pat for
Keokuk like man with four aces and
one king-which Adamson really had
in his hand by virtue Of his position
in the house of representatives.
The most Illuminating thing, and the
thing Keokuk takes to heart, is that
Adamson, Of Georgia, was doing. all
this in the midst Of cares much more
important to him and his state for the
people of a city a thousand miles to
the north and west Of his home district
solely because he knew it was JUS
tice and helping people who deserved
help.

Debating the Terms Of Peace.

Debating the Terms OF Peace.
Gilman, squire to Carnegie, threw up
his visor and reversed his sword and
left Adamson victor in the tournament
which had been going on for copule
of months. A rebuilt bridge was
promised. Il
But Adamson had only begun to talk,
it seemed. He began to, tell what kind
of bridge it should be-under the
commerce clause Of his former ulti-
matum calling for an adequate bridge.
He secured data and Information of
all kinds from Keokuk and Hamilton.
He became better posted on the kind
of bridge Keokuk needed than Keo-
kuk herself. He suggested some i'm
provements in detail that Keokuk new
er thought Of before. Moreover, he
saw all these requirements not only
in the plans but in the orders to the
steel mills. And when he was con-
WINGED that the new bridge was actual
" being built according to his ideas
OF what 1t ought to be- he allowed the
bill for a railroad over the big dam to
die-and not until then.
And that is how Adamson, of Geor-
gia. reelected this month after many
terms in congress, gave Keokuk the
superb bridge across the Mississippi
river-the most important thing pos
sible for Keokuk at that time. because
it not only attracts trafflc from ILL
nois. but is a necessity in building up
Keokuk as manufacturing center.
OF course Congressman Kennedy
and others did a lot: but nobody will
be more pleased at seeing the above
facts in print than Congressman Ken
nedy himself.
Keokuk ought to place on the west
ern approach to the bridge bronze
tablet in honor OF Judge William
Charles Adamson. congressman from
the fourth Georgia district.
