Having made a careful mental survey of the local political situation and believing a man of his pronounced views upon the burning problems of the present day will meet with favorable popular response, B. F. Loos, well known in real estate and insurance circles in Des Moines and Iowa, after the urgent solicitation of his many friends, launches his candidacy for nomination of mayor at the coming primaries. Mr. Loos is in hearty accord with the policies of President Roosevelt, and interpets them to mean striking at economic wrongs where they exist and are known. He began an aggressive warfare upon r. number of local combines which he claimed had been organized in Des Moines by insurance and real estate representatives and to let the trusts know that he was sincere in the matter as well as the people, he filed informations against said combines four different times, and in pursuance of his policy of attacking the trusts he wrote letters to the county attorney calling his attention to illegal combines and demanding that he should take legal action to prosecute them. been an active and success estate hustler, he will apply and earnestness of his business to his canvass for the Since engaging in the real in Des Moines Mr. Loos ed many large transactions personally he has owned hundred different proper various parts of the city, value from $10,000 down values.

With these for a nucleus, supplemented by the work of his and their friends, he is sanguine he will be able to lay under tribute to his candidacy a very considerable portion of the voters of the city. Having been a resident of Des Moines all his life and having long A Noted Evangelist. This cut is a true likeness of our friend and christian Evangelist, Rev. W. H. Robinson, who has traveled and preached in many states of the Union. He is a power in saving souls; he is an author of a book entitled from "A Slave to the Pulpit," which is indeed very interesting. He has built a new A. M. E. church in Buxton. His daughter is a great singer in his revivals. He has the unique honor of owning and running, in conjunction with a Get the most for every dollar you spend The buying power of a dollar for the comforts and necessities of life depends solely upon the place in which a dollar is spent and the way you spend it. A dollar in the hands of a careless boy might result in more harm than good, while the self-same dollar could be used by a thrifty woman to provide no end of useful articles to wear for man, woman or child, or things for the house if spent in YOUNKER'S GREAT ECONOMY BASEMENT The merchandise to be found in our Greater Bargain Basement is as dependable and as good as one could wish for. The only thing that's cheap is the prices that are made. Goods are bought in immense quantities from factories who want to clear out odd lots, broken lines, odds and ends of articles; and occasionally "seconds" find their way to the Basement. It's wonderful what a lot of clean merchandise of every description can be bought for little money. Millinery, Underwear, Dress Good, Silks, Lace Curtains, Men's Furnishings Children's Wear, Hosiery, Ribbons, Jewelry, Notions, in fact most any class of goods imaginable. YOUNKER BROS. been an active and successful real estate hustler, he will apply the energy and earnestness of his business methods to his canvass for the nomination. Since engaging in the real estate business in Des Moines Mr. Loos has effected many large transactions in his line, personally he has owned nearly one hundred different properties in the various parts of the city, ranging in value from $10,000 down to modest values. Mr. Loos is a close student of politics and economics. He believes the demand of the times is the economic freedom of the working classes. This can only be attained by the judicious exercise of political privileges of the voters. He will devote his time, if nominated and elected, to investigating and applying to public affairs the same practical rules he has so successfully followed in his private business. He desires especially to be understood as a firm friend of the laboring man. He himself has known what it is to pursue manual toil, and all his sympathies are with those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. He has always shown a friendly disposition toward the colored people and will, if elected treat them with equal fairness and justice. He has given employment to hundreds of colored people, and has helped many a poor colored man to get a home. His many friends are making a hard and earnest fight for his election. They predict that the colored vote of this city will be a solid unit for B. F. Loos for mayor. white man, the first daily colored newspaper in Iowa, and the only daily in Monroe county. We will say more about this man in the future. A Former Des Moines Boy In Denver. We received this week a copy of The Denver Republican, Sunday edition of 54 pages, very highly illustrated, in fact but few of our great modern Eastern journals equals it. In that issue the Scholz Drug Co. had a page write-up of their three large drug stores, also the cuts of their sixy-four employees, among the group was one of our Des Moines boys, Lee Blagbura, who is one of a group of fourteen who is an expert soda dispenser. We are indeed glad to see Lee's familiar face. He comes from the best and most highly esteemed family in our city. The youngest son of Mr. and Mrs J. T. Blagburn, one of his brothers E. T. B. is head clerk in the city engineers department here, and J. Frank is Clerk in the document department in Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Blagburn should feel proud of their children. The Scholz Drug Co. is the largest in the great West They started in business twenty-seven years ago with three clerks; now they have three stores, sixy-four clerks, of which fourteen are colored.

He was one of race's great scholars and jurist. He was born in the West Indies; came to America and settled in where he was elected City Magistrate; later moved to Detroit, where he entered actively in the practice of law; he soon won the respect of the bar and people by his legal training and ability. He was elected judge of the Court of Common Pleas for several term, during which terms he wrote a legal treaties on procedure in courts which the State adopted as the Michigan method of procedure. He was polished, eloquent, refined and a christian gentleman: loved and honored by all who knew him. George Washington The name of George Washington, as the father of his country, (the United States of America) will never be forgotten nor grow dim so long as history is remembered and events recorded. We cannot add nor detract from the honor and glory he won, nor would we if we could. The history of George Washington and his achievements are so familiar even to the school children that we will not repeat it. He was the beginning and foundation of this Nation, through his struggles, strategy and wisdom, Great Britain was driven from our shores and a free people established this splendid Nation of ours.

WESLEY ASH ENTERS RACE FOR ALDERMAN Deputy Sheriff Will Try For a Place on First Commission. GIVES REASON FOR RUNNING. Wesley Ash, deputy sheriff under Sheriff Loper, has announced himself as a candidate for alderman under the Des Moines plan of government. It is as follows: To the citizens of Des Moines: I beg to submit for your serious consideration my candidacy for the office of councilman of the city of Des Moines, and to ask your suffrages therefor. It is the boast of the advocates of the Des Moines plan that those upon whom shall devolve the responsibility of executive in the municipality will be men representative of the whole people and of no special class or interests. Having acquired an humble position in the business affairs of this community, and having occupied a similar position in the ranks of labor, I believe I can consistently make claim as a candidate to the office as a representative of the peoples' interest. I shall unqualifiedly support any movement or adopt any method in the execution of office that has for its subject the betterment of conditions and to promote the development and growth of our city. I was born, reared and educated in this county. All my interests are here. Naturally I have the interests of the community and its institutions at heart. For the past four years I have been connected with the sherrif's office and have gained valuable experience there in along business lines. I am willing to submit my reputation as standing to the most critical question and invite full investigation of my qualifications for the position to which I aspire. If upon due investigation you find that I measure up to that standard of efficiency necessary to successfully carry out the Des Moines plan of government I ask the favor of your confidence and votes at the primary. I am conscious of the duties and responsibilities which will come to those who may be granted the privilege of administering for the people the affairs of the municipality. If chosen I pledge my best endeavors and cooperation with my associates to fulfill each of my promise to the friends of the new plan of government, and shall to the best of my skill and understanding and without fear of favor carry out the object for which it was designed. WESLEY ASH. Mr. E. T. Williams the well known East Side liverman, has disposed of his barn located on Sixth and Locust street to C. E. Edwards of Watertown, S. Dakota The deal was negotiated and closed through the B. F. Loos Co., General Agency and the consideration was $11,000.00 This is one of the largest transactions that has been pulled off on the east side of the river. Mr. Loos says that he will be satisfied if he does not turn another large deal successfully on the East Side until March 16th next (election day.)

SCENTS INDUSTRIAL WAR Executive Addresses Commission Regarding Proposed Pay Reductions—Investigation Requested In Order to Avert Strife. Washington.—Serious industrial disputes in prospect were in the mind of President Roosevelt when he wrote a letter to the interstate commerce commission which has been made public. He says that information has reached him that on account of the enactment of drastic laws by the congress and by the various state legislatures it is regarded as necessary by railroad companies to reduce the pay of employees. He points out that, under the law, either party may demand the services of the chairman of the interstate commerce commission and of the commissioner of labor as a board of conciliation. He suggests, therefore, that the interstate commerce commission make such an investigation as will enable it to furnish data concerning wage conditions on various railroads as may relate, directly or indirectly, to the possible impending controversy. Notice Served. Says Chief. The text of the president's letter follows: "The White House, Washington, Feb. 18, 1908—To the Interstate Commerce Commission; I am informed that a number of railroad companies have served notice of a proposed reduction of wages on their employees. One of them, the Louisville & Nashville, in announcing the reduction, states that 'the drastic laws inimical to the interests of the railroads that have in the past year or two been enacted by congress and the state legislatures' are largely or chiefly responsible for the conditions requiring the reduction. Under such circumstances it is possible that the public may soon be confronted by serious industrial disputes, and the law provides that in such case either party may demand the services of your chairman and of the commissioner of labor as a board of mediation and conciliation. These reductions in wages may be warranted, or they may not. Public Is Vitally Interested. Public is vitally interested. "As to this, the public, which is a vitally interested party, can form no judgment without a more complete knowledge of the essential facts and real merits of the case than it now has or than it can possibly obtain from the special pleadings certain to be put forth by each side in case their dispute should bring about serious interruption to traffic. If the reduction in wages is due to natural causes, the loss of business being such that the burden should be, and is, equitably distributed between capitalist and wage worker, the public should know it. If it is caused by legislation, the public and congress should know it, and if it is caused by misconduct in the past financial or other operations of any railroad, then everybody should know it, especially if the excuse of unfriendly legislation is advanced as a method of covering up past business misconduct by the railroad managers, or as a justification for failure to treat fairly the employee." MORSE PROBE IS BEGUN. Attorney General Investigates Affairs of American Ice Concern. New York.—The Investigation instituted by Attorney General Jackson into the affairs of the American Ice company, promoted and formerly controlled by Charles W. Morse, was formally begun Wednesday when Special Deputy Attorney General James W. Osborne, appointed to conduct the inquiry, appeared before the grand jury and began the submission of evidence which is expected to throw a light on the financial methods employed in the organization of the so-called ice trust and its conduct and alleged control of the ice trade. The present investigation resulted from representations made by Attorney General Jackson to Gov. Hughes, who directed the attorney general to take the matter out of the hands of District Attorney Jerome. Outrage by Nightriders. Eddyville. Ky.-Night riders 300 strong visited Eddyville at one o'clock Sunday morning and whipped ten men, four of them white and six negroes. The white men are Police Judge C. W. Rucker, Lesel Woods, former city marshal; Press Fralk, who occasionally acted as deputy city marshal, and Grace Robertson, a saloon porter. The connection between the whipping of the men and the tobacco war in western Kentucky is not apparent. The riders were well drilled and well armed. Over a thousand shots were fired during the course of their stay, but the only casualty reported is that of a young woman whose face is said to have been grazed by a stray bullet. Road Cuts.

The story of wheat farming in Western Canada (that portion of Canada lying north of Dakota and Montana) has seen frequently told, but it will star a lot of telling, and still retain its touch of interest. During the year just closed 277,376 persons made their homes in Canada as compared with 215,912 for the year 1906, an increase of 61,464. Those from the United States numbered 65,551. A writer in "Industry" recently said: "To-day the Dominion of Canada is witnessing a "mightier movement of population than ever stimulated a Biblical writer" to pen a chapter of Scripture." The same writer says: "From be Rhine and the Rhone river valleys; from the port cities of Germany and the "farms of the Fatherland, from the "peasant soil of Russia; and out from the grimy Lancashire and over-populated Yorkshire, the discontented and ambitious of every clime are "seeking to take advantage of the "opportunities afforded by the fertile "soil and exhilarating climate of the "Empire of the North." Continuing the same writer says: "While a million human beings throng the shores of the United States every year, the smaller number arriving in "Canada come with a more well-de-fined purpose." The question has been asked why do these people come to Canada? The available land between the Mississippi and the Pacific has been exhausted, and the farmers within that territory find that their sons have to seek newer climes. Canada offers one hundred and sixty acres of land free to each. This land yields from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre. In Southern Alberta, the winter wheat belt of Canada, as high as 60 bushels per acre have been harvested. Less yields than the one mentioned have netted the farmer as much as $35 per acre. There are no words that tell the tale so effectively as those of the farmer himself, the man who has ploughed the fields, sowed the grain, and with folded hands rests while nature, bounteous in that country, in less than three months, placed at his disposal hundreds of acres of ripened grain, now waiting the arrival of the reaper, and therefore we reproduce the following letter. Any agent of the Canadian government will be pleased to give information regarding the district mentioned or any of any other that may be desired. E. T. Holmes. Esq. In 1905 I located on a claim about $0 miles from the town of Wadena, on the Canadian Northern Railroad, have lived on my claim most of the time since. I consider this to be one of the best districts in the country for grain growing. In 1906 wheat averaged from 30 to 51 bushels per acre on some of my neighbors' farms, within 4 miles of my claim. Oats go from 75 to 100 bushels. It is also a good country for stock. Where I am there is plenty of fuel. Homesteads nearly all taken the settlement being largely Germans, and Americans, all well-to-do. I left Wadena in February, 1907, returning April 25, so that I missed part of the winter, which the old settlers tell me was one of the worst they ever saw, but there was no suffering, as the people are pretty well fixed, and there are no blizzards in that country, at least there never has been known to be one. Wild land sells at from $10 to $15; closer to town it is higher. In the summer we have all sorts of wild fruits very plentiful, and I never saw better vegetables, and game is so plentiful a man need not starve for want of something to eat. Plenty of good water too. You need not hesitate to recommend this district, but the homesteads are nearly all taken, most of the homesteaders are living right on their claims.

In the family of a former Baltimore now residing in Providence, R.

The expressions of this relative, who keeps house for the family, sometimes afford much amusement to those unaccustomed to her peculiarly characteristic "pigeon English." Happening to visit the kitchen several days ago the head of the house discovered tacked up against the wall a crude memorandum pad.

There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "casy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You need for yourself and yours. In this alone you will have the advantage of them An Atchison paper asks, "What has become of the old-fashioned boy who fought against wearing his Sunday clothes?" He's in Wall Street fleeing the lambs, using the same methods that he employed to organize a corner in marbles in the good old days. **Maps for Aeronauts.** A European idea is maps, specially prepared for aeronauts, giving the position of the principal objects such as the bends of the rivers, factories, railway junctions, etc., which can be easily distinguished from the car of a balloon.

Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skillful and experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a pea-collar foliage and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sight. The axmen follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to tell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be directed so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which is a sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate it. If he is clever and energetic his remuneration may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his warnings are rather precautious.
