GROWTH OF TOWNS
in THE new WEST
Conveniences Enjoyed That Are
Unknown to Old Eastern
Towns

AS often noted, there is a wonder
full difference between old towns of
the eastern states and those of the
newer west. and none shows this
marked difference any more than
the little city of Miller. Compared
to the eatern towns it is a city. with
a city's modern conveninces.
How many towns of 1000 to 1900
people in the old. easy-golng eastern
states have a complete electric light
and power plant, a city water svs.
tenn supplied by three artesian wells,
a sewer system, all owned by the
city, and many miles of cement
walks?
Four churches and a $35, 900 grad
ed school. with modern equipment,
speaks well for the religious and
educational qualifications Of the
CITY.
The business life Of Miller carries
it bevond the customary village rep
r%esentation of one or two in each of
the various lines, as there is scarcely
any line of commercial Or profess
Ssonal BUSINESS now but what is rep
resented by three or more dealers.
Add to these a complete system Of
telephones, city. county and state;
free delivery of mail; enough auto
mobiles to carry halt the popula-
ton in one load; a splendid daily
train service, etc, and the convent
ences of life in Miller are equalled
by few towns of Its size in the United
States.
The next step for Miller to take,
if she would go Forward" is to
reach out for small factories that
will furnish employment for a few
people. There are a number of
such to be had. entirely practical
and within the reach of Miller.
Among those we have are the onlv
successful -four mill west of Huron.
a creamery and ice cream factory
nov supplying the local demand and
shipping to surrounding towns. a
first class ice plant. and one of the
best auto garages and machine
shops in the state, attracting GERS
for many miles.
Miller needs a regular city laun-
dry with delivery wagon, and fur
nishing employment for half dozen
people. In the hands of a compel
ent man a cigar factory would run
three or four hands and paw out.
Perhaps a vegetable canning factory
would also be among the possibili-
ties.
But in the opinion of this paper
there is no one thing that will add
as much to the business interests.
comforts any conveniences Of both
town and county as good roads.
Make the roads and the people vii!
travel them for business and enter
tainment.

Keep Children
Off the Streets

Automobiles are being sold in
Hand county at the rate of half a
dozen each day. Many new drivers
have charge of these cars. and they
are becoming so numerous on the
streets and county roads that people
on foot must cverlastingly be on the
alert just as city people are. Es-
peciallv should parents caution and
train the little ones never to loiter
on the streets or roadways. Talk to
them about it every day. and avoid
accidents.

In the Hot DAYS of July
Backward, turn backward,

o. Time in thy fight.
Take me to Washington
Just for tonight.
Where liquid refreshment
Could once be had.
Spite of this dry wave
Which makes me so sad
But now there's no glimmer
In this desert so dry.
Except a faint star which
Adorns Huron's sky.
But look at the miles
And kale for this trip,
To fill up a suit case
Or mayhay a grip.
The high cost OF living
Is only a joke
It's this long way to Tip.
That's getting my goat.

Clean Up Week

A general movement to devote
May to Nav 6 to cleaning up the
state is endorsed by the Governor
and city Mayors. This includes
back yards. alleys. streets and road
ways. It would show thrift and
neatness. which attracts favorable
comment. and often induces new
settlers to locate.

ARGENTINA CORN IN ILLINOIS.
Million Bushels First Consignment to
Compete With u. S. Farmers.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Argentina corn
placed on the free list by the Under
wood tariff bills reaching Peoria in
immense quantities. Chicago received
advices that a consignment received
yesterday by the Miller Grain Company
of Peoria is the advance shipment of
total that will amaze grain producers
and others who are interested in the
grain market at Peoria, the center OF
the corn products manufactures.
Political managers received word Of
the dumping of the Argentina corn on
the Peoria elevators before the regular
reports came thru Industrial channels.
Central Illinois farmers. past whose
front doors the Argentina corn trains
were travelling toward the Peoria dis
tilleries. were the first to sound a
Warming.
Information in Chicago last night
was that more than 100000 bushels
Of Argentina corn already has reached
the markets OF the corn belt. and that
an unhelievahly large quantity is on
it's way.
The story is that practically all ship
ping of the country is being used to
transport corn from Argentina to New
Orleans, where it is transferred to
trains and sent to Peoria. In order to
handle the tremendous traffic in corn
that is expected as long as the Under
wood tariff law is on the books, large
elevators are being erected at New Or
leans.
These immense preparations, made
to handle the Argentina corn, ship
ments, Indicate clearly that 1t is not
anticipated the duty on corn will be
revived. and it also clearly indicates
the tremendous extent Of the ship
ments expected a Chicago man said
yesterday. With a capacity OF 10000
bushels per day the facilities for hand
ling are unlimited
Argentina farming conditions are
different from those OF the United
States. The Argentine country is di-
vided into large estates. farmer on
large scale. The proprietors Of these
farms import American machinery and
operate the farms with cheap labor
imported from southern Europe. 1t is
the kind Of competition that the
American farmer will be unable to
meet without a marked loss under
American conditions"

Cattle.
Cattle offerings p4oved TO be in ex-
cess Of the requirements of the trade.
Proportion of really good TO caoice
steers is falling shorter than the trade
had expected for this season but the
fact that corn is advancing almost
steadily can be credited as the chief
reason. In the far western and south
western pastures supplies to be moved
forward from now on viii be short,
but Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin
still hold big numbers Of steers which
have been on grass and which would
have been fed this winter were the
corn price more within feeders grasp.
Disposition to cash big quota OF this
stuff and save feed bills is strong in
every locality now and is forcibly indi-
Gated by the heavy ordering Of cars.
II is piling UP big stock of beef in
coolers and freeZers for distribution
later when the rush TO unload pastures
is over, but broad domestic and foreign
demand for beef makes its sale certain
at good prices.
Sheep.
Most of the :upD.y of sheep and
lamhbs lacked quality.
The best rangers came from Idaho.
altho a very good class Of Washing
tons arrived for sale. Other range lots
consisted of Montanas apd Wyomlngs.
which. from the killers standpoint
were not of the best kind. altho too
fat for feeder buyers. In the end many
Of the Montanas went to feeders, the
tops out of the drovers going to killers.
The proportion Of fed westerns is
gradually Increasing and some OF this
class proved very desirable.
Five loads Of Idahos sold at 5000,
with a deck out, and the same seller
had several other cars Of good 1dahos
to offer but found no morning outlet.
Nine cars Of Wyomings. With 500 head
out. went at s10y25 and packers bid
s10.15 for some Montanas which the
seller held at s10.25. Other Montanas
went to killers at s10.25. a string Of
ZOOS head OF Washingtons, with So out,
landed at 5000. Feeders bought be-
tween 100 and 1900 head Of Mon
tanas from one man and took ten dou-
Bile decks from another seller at the
same price. Other feeders were hell
higher.

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Tne Tuesday trade
for horses was rather slow. Demand
for most grades on offer was less ur-
gent than on the previous day, with
. the result that sellers were looking for
buyers to bid on the stuff. Unlike last
week, when buyers were seeking horses!
they are now holding back waiting for
orders. The run for the first two days
stands smaller than the previous week,
but there are enough horses TO go
around if the orders are forthcoming.
4 Army grades We're found selling with
the usual good action. inspectors are
keen for horses and work steadily to
get them in shape for shipment.
Arrivals for the first two days Of the
week total about 1,s0o head. against l.
944 for same days last week, 1850 a
year ago and 97S for corresponding pc
Rod two years ago.
