GEN. DODGE DIES AT
 HIS HOME IN IOWA
Hero Of Civil War and Pioneer in
 Railroad Building

Council Bluffs, Ia.t Jan. 4.-General Grenville M. Dodge, distinguished sol- dier and railroad builder, died at his home here yesterday afternoon.
 The funeral will be held Thursday and will be in charge of Colonel Matt A. Kinney of the Iowa National Guard in accordance with General Dodge's wishes, expressed shortly before his death. Two battalions of Iowa ana Nebraska guardsmen will act as es- cort. General Dodge's three daugh- ters will atttend the funeral but his wife. who is in New York, has an- nouEced that she is too i'll to make the trip.
 Distinguished in War
 Two notable services to his country assure Major General Grenville Mel len Dodge a place among the history makers Of the Civil war and recon struction periods. As soldier his valor is attested by the fact that four horses were shot from under him in the battle of Pea Ridge and that he himself received wounds in several battles. AS a pioneer iu western rail- road building he has the Union Pa cific railroad, whose line he located " tended, standing today as monument to his memory.
 Some sixty years ago, the then young Dodge, who had moved from New England. where he had studied civil engineering. to Council Bluffs Ia entered the employ of the Illinois Cen tral railroad. Abraham Lincoln, who had done legal work for the same company, met the young Yankee. They talked of building a railroad over the Rocky Mountains and beyond. The world had been laughing at the pro- ject. Lincoln and Dodge agreed that it was feasible.
 Dodge Leads Party.
 The federal government shortly aft erward decided to begin surveying for the proposed line Dodge jumped at the chance of leading the party Sev eral trips were made as far as the Rocky Mountains searching for the most feasible route, the men under Dodge plunging into many a wilder ness to meet stubborn resistance on the part of the Indians.
 In the midst of the undertaking the Civil War broke out. Dodge, born at Danvers, Mass, in 1881, was just 30 years old. He had had some military training at Norwich University, in Vermont, and some experience fight ing Indians. Securing a coloneFs com- mission from his old friend, President he raised drilled and equipped at his own expense the Fourth Iowa Infantry Regiment.
 GalIantry Wins Promotion.
 Within two weeks Colonel Dodge was leading his command against the rebels in northern Missouri. His gal Iantry soon afterward at the battle of Pea Ridge won almost instant promo ton to the rank of brigadier general 1 He lost one-fourth of his entire com mand, but he saved the day for the federal army. He again distinguished himself in the decisive battle of the Atlanta campaign. July 22, 1864, when he defeated General Hoods desperate

WARS DEMAND ON LAND.

Although Italy is belligrent, and
all the belligerent nations are affili-
ated with the International Institute
of Agriculture, that institution con-
tinues its work and is apparently
supplied with the usual data from
all the countries of the world, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
A cable from Rome states that ac-
cording to returns received by the
institute the worlds crop area, as 1t
stands today, exceeds that Of last
year at this time by 7.3 per cent,
which is very large increase for one
year. The increase Of acreage is at
tributed to the demands Of war and
the efforts to supply them.
There is, doubtless, much waste Of
food and forage in the war zone, and,
as the necessity Of keeping fighting
men in high condition is now fully
recognized it is probable that great
numbers of the men under arms are
better fed than ever before in their
lives.
.Unquestionably, the present high
prices for staple farm products have
stimulated planting in all parts of the
world, and the estimates Of the insti-
tute have the mark OF probability.
That they represent what the figures
received show can not be doubted.
That they show all the facts as they
existed February 1st is improbable
as in some large countries complete
figures are unattainable even In or
dinary times. But the figures Of the
institute as compared with those OF
last year may easily be though to
represent all the exact figures, II at
tainable, and to indicate that, con-
sidering the world as unit, there
will be ample food supplies for the
current year.

MINING DEVELOPMENT.

Twenty-eight cent copper is doing
for the copper mining districts what
dollar wheat has done for the agri-

In southern Oregon the vast deposits
Of copper have attracted the eye Of
the mining man even when the metal

war has boosted the price till mines
have become bonanzas that we're too
far removed from transportation to
pay for operation before. The re-

mine, and the immediate institution

new era in this region. and there Is
near real awakening in the mining

Oxnard, CAL, Mar. 2.--In the en-
bers of a burned ranch house, the
bodies of Peter Furrer, "a years old,
his wife, Bessie, 21, and their 10
months-old infant were found today
under circumstances indicating mur-
der.
An employe Of the Furrer ranch
is under suspicion. Police claim
bloodstains were found on the
sleeves Of his shirt. His stories con-
flict.
The tragedy was discovered by
Frank Eastwood, a neighbor. Pass
ing the Furrer place, he saw smoke
drifting from a little nook where
the cottage stood, and ran to the
spot.
When he arrived the house was
entirely destroyed. Furrer's body,
lpartially clothed, lay in what had
been the living room. Close by were
the remains of the woman, wrapped
in charred blanket. The baby had
levidently been slain in its crib. Sher-
iff's deputies believe the murderer
killed all three and then set fire to
the house to hide the crime.
Robbery was probably the motive.

WATCH COMPANY PLANS
FOR PROSPEROUS YEAR
Annual SaIesmen's Convention Starts
TOday-In Preparation For
Bigger Business.

Travelling statesmen for the South
Bend Watch Co. have arrived from
many parts of the United States to
attend the company's 1916 sales con-
vention which begins today. This
convention will be the most import
ant event of the kind ever held by
the company and Will comprise four
DAYS of schooling, addresses and ex-
aminations.
The conventions held by this COM
pany are said to differ from the av-
erage gathering of the sort through
the elimination of many social fea-
lures in favor of strict business
demonstrations. The men are thor
Oughly drilled in the talking points
for the South Bend watch and they
are required TO pass rigid examin-
alton to prove their knowledge of
these points.
Advertisement of the watch with
the purple ribbon is being under
taken this year on a greater scale
than ever before. Lew Fleming,
sales manager, says that every sales
and advertising plan Of the COM
pany is based on the belief that
1916 is TO be an unusually prosper
Gus year.
Every indication that comes to
us from our customers" says Mr.
Fleming, points TO prosperity for
the coming year. jewelers. report a
splendid holiday trade and Of course
that means abnormally low stocks
and good business in recorders for
US.
This return of prosperity comes
10 Us at the most opportune time.
South Bend watches are now well
established in the minds of the trade
as a high grade product and the
demand for them is constantly in
creasing. improvements have been
made both in product and organiza-
ton that give our statesmen the best
trade bringing ammunition they
have ever had and we expect to take
full advantage OF these facts.
South Bend citizens are also
showing a remarkable interest in
our development and future plans
for they recognize that our sales
efforts advertise this city in a most
valuable way Our advertisements
display the name South Bend in
large space before the eyes OF mill
lions OF readers all over the world

the name and fame OF the city
