of some of those old poets would be
chronicling its beauties in verse. or
some up to date passenger traffic man
would be advertising round trip routes
on his road to boost the scenery.
Here in Lee county we drive through
roads every bit as picturesque as
those of old New England, or the
sunny south, and figure on how many
more miles it is to the nearest garage
and wonder if the price Of gasoline
has gone up since leaving home.
Take any stretch of road between
Keokuk and ponnellson and you will
have to go far to find anything much
prettier. It's real tourist book pic
ture roads, There are well kept fields
on one side OF the road, and where
the highway dips into a little hollow
and crosses culvert under which a
lazy brook flows into flat bit OF
meadow, cows stand contentedly in
the stream. Up short rise again, and
around the tusn Of the road and one
comes upon mass of yellow flowers,
punctuated here and there with
purple. A white farm house in a set
ting of dark green cedars FORMS the
back ground TO the picture.

strips of yellow border the railroad
track and are undisturbed by the two
trains a day which labor and pant
over the route between Keokuk and
Mt. Pleasant. Bee hives and larger
house where honey is stored dot one
side of the read, while across the
highway is an orchard with the
squatty green apple trees blushing
where the sun has touched the fruit
and is burning its tender skin and
putting the honey of out of doors
into the fruit beneath that skin.
At Mooar, to the left of the station
is the avenue of trees, straight and
precise like the pictures of trees
along the Appian way. At Summit
Vile and at New Boston along the
way are general stores which are
typical of the business life of the
community. Ard at Charleston there
are numerous log cabins and one
long old frame building, which was
once a tavern and the haunt of poll
ticians in the socd old days of pioneer
times.

MORNING FIRE
AT GRANGEVILLE
ROLLER MILL WAS DESTROYED,
AND FORMER REGENT LOST
VALUABLE STOCK
Loss Estimated at 100000, and IncIud-
ed Residence, Barn, Mill, and
Grain

GRANGEVILLE, Mar. 3.-Early this
morning, fire of unknown origin de-
stroyed the Grangeville Roller mills
with large quantities of wheat, flour,
and feed, and the large barn belonging
to E. S. Sweet with "a head of high
grade and registered cattle and seven
registered horses.
A small residence near the mill be-
longing to the milling company also
was destroyed the total loss being
about 100000. Insurance was car
ried on the mill and it's contents and
the Sweet barn and contents.
The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter midnight. A heavy wind carried
firebrands to the Sweet barn about 400
yards away, and all efforts to save
the stock were hopeless, as the fire had
gained great headway before many
people arrived on the scene.
The estimates made this morning are
that the loss of the mill will be at
least $4,000, but the value of the
contents cannot be determined until
an invoice of the stock is made. The
loss to E. S. Sweet will amount to
about $4,000 1t is estimated that the
wheat, flour, and feed would make up
at least a total of $4,000 and the
dwelling burned would add about $500.

 wounded in the eye by grating DOT tion of the cornea of another person.
 In her letter she said: "If you be-

CHILE COPPER BILL
 INTERESTS THIS COUNTRY

VALPARAISO, Oct. 24.-The pro- posal intrj jduced fin the House of Dep uties recently to impose an export tax upon copper is a topic discussed here. As in neighboring republics, the vel ume of imports has made necessary the imposing of taxes in addition to those &n imports which, before the European war, furnished @ large part of the national revenue.
 Arguments in support of the cop per tax ate that such tax is already levied by Chile's neighbors and that nitrate now subject to export tex in this country. The project, as fram- ed by Deputies subercaseaux and Prat, Aroposes tax on a sliding scale aHpve a certain minimum. the actual athount of the tax to be deter mined the copper quotation in the London market.
 The s hthors of the bill believe that the expiration of copper is a proper source ftom which to exact additional revenue stating that copper mines jnow contribute nothing to the nation Ial treas try although copper is rated as the second in importance of Chili's natural resources.
 This Hroposal is likely to be of spe- cial imp pbrtance to large interests Tn the Unted States which have invest ments Chilean copper mines. What |disposi bon Congress will make of the bill cal not be stated at this time.
