A Prospective
Big Enterprise

The Times is informed that COM
pany of Eastern race horse men are
contemplating the purchase of the old
Iron Mountain farm, at Iron Noun
tain, this county, which contains III
900 acres. The intention OF the pros
pective purchasers of this great tract
Of land, so this paper is informed,
will be to convert it into breeding
farm for fine horses. !.
Very little change or conversion Will
be necessary to make such tract into
an ideal place for the raising of fine
horses, as it is already practically
ideal for such purpose. 1t perhaps
excels the famed Blue Grass region
Of Kentucky for the propagation OF
thoroughbred horses, with its splen-
did altitude, Its blue grass, its abund.
ance of running water OF crystal
clearness and absolute purity. The
writer believes it would be impossible
| to find another location, anywhere
throughout the entire country, that
would be SO thoroughly adaptable fol
| the purpose of breeding and improv.
ling thoroughbred horses, as is this
Iron Mountain tract. a
Such an enterprise, on the largt
scale that is evidently contemplated
by those interested in this proposition
would also be of inestimable advan
Itage not only to st. Francois county
|but to the entire Southeast part O
| the Stae. While here is at presen
little in the laws of this State to en-
courage the breeding Of fine horses
Especially racing stock, the laws q
lother surrounding States are loosen
ling up somewhat in that regard, tn,
lday may not be far distant whel
there viii be greater degree Of ,ap
lpreciation Of good horse flesh ip thi
Estate than the laws at present woul'
Indicate.

The Church and
the Laboring Man

Laboring conditions today are of
such character as to engage the at
tention of people in all the walks Oh
life. And, more especially, should
the attention of our churches be call
ed into the matter. As the church is
the greatest factor in the world to pro-
mote civic and moral righteousness,
it should be especially interested in
the moral as we'll as the spiritual
welfare of the Tojlers of earth.
Very often we find large numbers
of people in our industrial centers
who never attend church. 1t should
be the express business Of the church
to get in touch with these and invite
them to their services. Yet 1T seems
that the church ofen caters to IA
vored few, and forgets the rest.
A short time ago a minister of one
of our Lead Belt churches in the
course of his sermon stated, that ne
some time ago made an address at a
mass meeting of miners, and that ne
only saw about half-dozen familiar
faces in that large crowd. And TINS
same minister has been resident OF
that place for two years.
Now. if that is the case, may ! ask,
What Is wrong with the church? Ii
the church, does not reach the masses,
Then what is its mission? Asa lay
man views the situation, it appears
that the common people and their IN
terests are being, and have been, SAD,
lv neglected along this line. The n
boring man and his family, surely
have as much right to the advantages
the church offers as the privileged
class; and, the Gospel Of Christ II
fact does offer to them the same PRIV,
ileges. But many churches do no.
look to the welfare Of the working
man as they should.
This same minister also said, tina
the Labor Unions were against tn
church. because one union, that OF tn
brewery workers, have adopted TN
alopan. No Beer, No Work. He als'
stated that this same slogan is adop
ted by the American Federation o
Labor. This is a mistake; the labor
ing man as a whole, If given vote
will declare themselves in favor o
prohibition, for they realize as NJ
other class of people do, the destruc
tiveness of the liquor traffic. Thi
argument is like that Of picking ou
poor weak member OF the cnurc
and comparing all church members =
the one who fell from grace.

es who are opposing National Prohl
hilton lust as strong as any body 9
men in the nation, and this fact
generally known to the public. The

mining companies of the county met
with the County Board Of Equaliza-
tion the last of the week, and made
their presentments regarding the as

| ST. Louis Smeltingf& Refining Co.
There appeared to be little fric-

which apparently arose from the feel
ing that one company's assessment
was NOT equitable as compared to the
Lassessnent of another. This resulted
in some statements and retorts that
rather indicated a "family row.. Mr..
