7 NORTH WILL HELP Fifteen Thousand Visitors from Above Dixie Line Will Flock to San Antonio to Assist in Anni versary of San Jacinto Battle. MiA&VELOUS PROGRESS' OF THE AlaAMO OITY Typical American Community That Is Rapidly Developing Its Manufacturing- Resources and Controls the Trade of a Vasfr Section. BY HERBERT VANDERHOOF. Fifteen thousand visitors from the North are expected In San Antonio to the Northern Settleis' convention, which will be held in that city April 20 and 21. The latter date is the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto, the most memorable and highly treasured event in the history {of Texas, as it witnessed the downfall of the power of Mexico and the achievement tof independence. It was on April 21, 836. that the gallant band under the leadership of General Sam Houston met a Mexican force of twice its strength and almost annihilated it after one of the most desperate battles in history. The growth of Texas dates from that 4flay of bloodshed, and it is especially ap propriate that the visitors from the North should be invited to join in the celebra tion at San Antonio, as that city can ,Bhow them in a superlative degree the progress that has been made in the Lone Star state. Of course, the Alamo, with its historic associations, will engross a great deal of attention and interest on the part of the \Isitors from the North, but the city itself and its great industrial development will appeal to them with especial force, it may be safely asserted. The balmy, dry atmosphere which has made this city one of the greatest health resorts in the United States brings thou sands here each year to be cured of throat and lung diseases, rheumatism and general debility. But this is only an in cident'in the'growth of the city. It has, however, had the effect of making it one of the most representative American communities in the nation. Men from all sections of the country have been at tracted to San Antonio, and then, falling in love with the country and its magnifi cent climate, and keenly ali\e to the op portunities that await the ambitious man, have taken up their permanent residence and contributed their energies and cap ital to the upbuilding of a city. 1 1 As a consequence, San Antonio has be come a great manufacturing and jobbing center, while its big retail establishments in every line will compare favorably with anything in the North or East. A Reason for Its Growth. There are excellent reasons for the growth of San Antonio along industrial lin.es, and also for its further indefinite expansion. The city Is the natural geo graphical metropolis of a rapidly de veloping tributary territory, whose nat ural resources -have as yet been only scratched In the territory the trade of which naturally gravitates to S An tonio the entire population of the state of, Illinois could be set down, and then there would be room for more And thio territory is growing in population yearly to an astounding extent. Thousands and thousands of new settlers from the North and "West aie flocking in each year and buying up the rich and productive lands that are to be obtained for a mere song compared- with- the land values in the sections tbey*2-eeu5a -&om.'"' -*t jfcaturally, San Antonio is benefiting from this astonishing growth It is es pecially favorably situated to secure arid retain the trade that comes from this rich section, its nearest competitor for trade being Houston, which is 209 miles a.way. Handling the produce of this territory alone is a good business, but the- needs of this- tributary section have stimulated manufacturing in the city, un til there are now over 150 establishments which are turning out goods and which have an annual pay roll of between $6,000,000 and $6,000,000 a year. Two of the largest breweries in the South are in this city, while there are several flour ing mills, machine shops, foundries, iron works, candy factories, binderies, litho- faking raphlng and printing houses, vinegar and powder factories, cement works a most Important industrypaper box factories, broom factories, marble works, etc. Aside from these industries, there are great possibilities here for the investment of capital in other manufacturing lines For Instance, in cotton and woolen mills, shoe factories, canning factories and glass factbries. In cotton and woolen manu factures the manufacturer has the double advantage over his Northern competitor of being near the originating point of W raw supplies and close to the dis tributing point of finished goods, and the saving that he thus effects in freight charges alone is in itself a considerable profit. There has never been any troubk. In obtaining labor, and every manufac turer in San Antonio who has built his business upon the right lines has been abundantly successful. San Antonio and Its Banks. Every business man before he invests his capital in any line of business in a community will desire to investigate its banking facilities. These are almost as essential to him as the labor supply. In this respect San Antonio is especially well equipped. It has a number of national as well as state banks, and all are prosper ous and ably managed. The total de posits In these banks are between $13,- 1000,000 and $14,000,000, and they furnish sample facilities for the business of the (Community In addition to the vast sums that are paid out here every year by the manufac turing interests the Jobbing and retail nouses of the city are the means of bringing in many additional millions ev 'jBry year. Then San Antonio is also a ijpreat railway center, and the local pay .'rolls of the railways that center here and that have established this as tho point for their shops amount to over $3,500,000 a year. The United States gov ernment is also a liberal spender in San Antonio, as this is the headquarters of the Department of Texas and Fort Sam Houston, one of the largest military res ervations in the country, is located here. The expenditures of the government at this post amount to $700,000- a year. There is one feature that will not fail to Impress the visitor, and that $# the absence of the "To Rent" 1 Signs, that are so common in many communities. It is almost impossible to find one in San Antonio, and yet during the past five years there have been over 'f .000 buildings erected in this city. What San Antonio needs, and what is going to bring a fortune to the men who will supply this need, is a number of apart ment houses. There is at present only one apartment house in the citv. three stories high, and the rooms in this are In constant demand at from $15 to $25 a month each. Four or Ave more build inga of this class, each not less than five stories, could be kept constantly filled^ at the same rate, which does not include board. The tourists who come here "by the thousand each year would eagerly take up these apartments, but because of the lack of these accommoda tions they are now obliged to obtain accommodations in the private boarding houses about th,e city. Real Estate Values Low. Land values are low In San Antonio, but the prices are steadily appreciating. Many of the visitors here in past years have been so impressed with the oppor tunitiesh fo profitable investment that they a ver sent in laige sums to be placed, not in city property alone, but in lands in the territory adjacent Frjom 10 to 15 per cent a year is an average net rate from real estate, and as lands appreciate in value this will mean a largely increased income on property bought at present prices Outside inves tors of the most conservative character have realized these facts, and are mak ing large investments here, while the MINNESOTA CHAMPION TEAMS MEET IN DEBATE WJJLLMAB HIGH SCHOOL WINS FROM FERGUS FALLS. Contest Between Seventh and Ninth Districts foi The Journal Gup Proves Most Interesting of Any Yet Held Willmar Attacks Boss Rule and Stu dents Enliven the Proceedings. Special to The Journal. Fergus Falls, Mlun., March 3 The interdis trict debate between the seventh and ninth dis tricts in the series of contests for the state championship and The Journal's cup, was held here last evening and was won by the Seventh district, lepresented by the Willmar high school team the decision of the judges being two for Willmar and one for Fergus Falls. The defeat of the local team causes general disappointment here, but the contest was per fectly fair in every way, and no one congratu lates the winners more heartily than the mem bers of the defeated team The subject discussed was: "Resolved, That all elective state, district, county and city offi cers should be chosen by direct primaries Fer gus Falls took the affirmative of the proposi tion and Willmar the negative The Fergus Falls school was represented by William Bell, Charles Nyberg and Axel Nelson, and the Willmar school by Wallace Martin, Carl Jacobson and Victor Martin. Everyone agrees that the two teams were evenly matched and well balanced. There was not a weak debater on either sideIn fact, there has never been a debate in the long series held here where the speakers exhibited more uniform strength or greater ability to "think on their feet." Rev. W. H. Jordan of Minneapolis presided, and the judges were Superintendent W. H. Hollands of Sauk Center, O. E. Payne of Long Prairie and Bert E. Colby of Osakis. Students Liven Proceedings. The night was stormy and disagreeable, but there was a fair audience. The entire high school occupied the balcony and livened matters from time to time with class yells. A new song had been prepared for the occasion, and it was sung with tremendous spirit. These are the verses: There's a good time coming, help It on There a good time coming, help It on. Fergus Falls will soon be winning, All the air with it is dinning, Help it on, help it on, help ft on, on, on. The affirmative is right, help it on The affirmative is right, help it on. With our songs and with applause We 11 defend the prim'ry laws, Help it on, help it on, help it on, on, on, Tr-,t^ I_I _m: ti German Roman Catholic Central society of the large Eastern loaning instltiitlons view, When the Fergus high shall win, help It on When the Fergus high shall win, help it on. Then the hot time will begin For we'll make the welkin ring. Help it on, help it on, help it on, on, on. Fergus did not win, but the welkin rang Just the same and the team made a splendid show ing. Nor was the applause all on one side. The Willmar bojs were cheered as lustily as their opponents when they made telling points, and telling points were numerous on both sides. The Fergus team advocated the primary as the right of the American citizenthe right to nominate his candidates as well as to elect them. The team took the ground that it was only thru primary election laws that the country could be freed from the rule of the bosses that the citi zen could gain the rights of which corrupt poli ticians had deprived him. Team Refers to Boss Rule. jThe Willmar team, on the other hand, pointed tothe faef ttariJ-Ttho^AaSWriean ^government was a re: and most practical plan of nominating candidates, and that it was in every sense the best plan that parties were a necessary feature of the American political system, and the convention system resulted In the perpetuation of the party and enabled the people thru their duly elected representatives in the conventions to declare their wishes on public questions thru the medium of the party platform that in the multiplicity of candidates under the primary system the nomi nee seldom received a majority of all votes cast, and the man nominated was often the choice of a minority of the people, that the primary system was a nice thing in theory, but that it did not work weU in practice. The team held that the primary did not eliminate boss rule in cities, but rather tended to serengthen it, and held up St. Paul as a striking example of the most boss-ridden and misgoverned city In the northwest. The affirmative replied that if the people could be trusted to nominate delegates to conventions they could certainly be trusted to nominate the candidates that the present system of party platform-making was the merest farce, the plat form being prepared by a platform committee and worded with a view to catching the most votes, the convention merely Indorsing the re port of the committee, and going on with the more exciting work of making nominations. It was held that a better way to frame a party platform would be to have it framed by a cen tral committee composed of the chairmen of the various county committees, who could meet and act deliberately, with an eye single to the best interests of the country and the party. The team also dwelt strongly on the corruption of conventions, and the buying, selling and trad ing of votes. Willmar replied that their opponents had ex aggerated this feature of the case, and then pointed to the splendid men who had been nomi nated under the convention system, such as Lincoln, La Follette and Folk. It was a thoroly interesting debate thruout, and the winners are entitled to hearty congratulations. HUMBOLDT WINS DEBATE Farmington Team Meets Defeat in In teresting Contest. FARMINGTON, MINN.The Humboldt high school defeated the Farmington high school at debate last evening. The arguments were con ducted in the high school before one of the biggest audiences that has ever congregated at Farmington. The subject was, "Resolved, That all elec tive, state, district, county and city officers, should be nominated by direct primaries held under state regulations, rather than by dele gate convention." The affirmative was taken by the Farmington debaters, and the negative by the St. Paul debaters. The Judges decided in favor of the negative, two to one. The St Paul debaters outclassed the local speakers in delivery. The debaters were: Farm ington, Nellie Baine, E'Tolle Balne and Joseph Clements, Humboldt, Belle Blumenfeld, Eugene Coyne and Benjamin Harmon. A. White of the University of Minnesota, Professor B. S.

TODAY' S NEW S O TH E NORTHWES IOWA MINNESOTA CUMMINS FOLLOWS LAFOLLETTE'SLEAD MARKED PARALLEL IN POLITICS OF TWO STATES. Conditions in Iowa Resemble Closely Those of Badger State, Even to Divi sion of Republican Party Into Two FactionsGovernor Cummins Makes Primary Election Law a Campaign Issue. Special to The Journal. Pes Moines, March 3.That there will be no healing of the rupture within the republican party of Iowa became certaiu this week with the defeat of Governor Cummins' primary elec tion bill in tho senate at Des Moines. That the split is inevitable 1B conceded and that Governor Cummins has concluded to follow in the foot steps of Senator Robert M. La Follette is appa rent. With cries of treason, anathemas and blttor personal charges assailing him. Governor Oum lnins has determined to proceed resolutely along what he says Is the path to reform. And the parallel between his program and the difficulties that surround It, and the program of La Follette and the difficulties that surrounded it is easily appaient. Governor Cummins' first demand is for a pri mary election law, state-wide, direct and com pulsory this is what La Toilette demanded and finally got. Governor Cummins demands an anti pass law, far-reaching and stringent, and this is what La Follette demanded and got. Governor Cummins believes the railroads should pay their full share of taxes, and he is committed by his public speeches to work to that end this is what La Follette said in Wisconsin and what he la credited with doing much to bring about. Some More parallels. The parallel reaches further. La Follette was accused of wrecking bis party in Wisconsin this identical charge is hurled constantly af Governor Cummins. La Follette's insurgent at tack on men of his own party made two kinds of republicans in Wisconsin, and the whole coun try knows them by the names of halfbreeds and stalwarts. In Iowa it is now not enough to say one is a republican he must go farther and say whether he is a "progressive" or a "stand patter," and the whole United States will soon know them by these names. Had the legislature voted for the primary elec tion law, drafted in entire accordance with Cum mins' wishes and constituting the chief issue'-of the administration, this fight might have been averted. Even if the legislature now approves the antlpass law, which is unlikely. It cannot be avoided. For Cummins still has the primary as an issue on which he can go before the peo ple this summer in asking a nomination for a third term in violation of the two-term prece dent that has existed ever since Iowa became a state. But simply because Governor Cummmins is going to make a fight for renominatlon on state issues does not mean that he will give up the "Iowa idea" for a revision of the tariff which threw him into the limelight four years ago and made him a national figure.

Tristate Company, After Winning Suit in Lower Court, Constructs Line Along Chester Township Highway Settlement Must Now Be Made with Property OwnersAppeal May Be Taken. Speoial to The Journal. Grand Forks, N. D., March 3.The supreme court has handed down a decision that is of vast Importance to telephone and telegraph companies in the state, the court practically holding that companies have no right to use the highways foj stringing wires or setting poles, without first se eming permission fiom the pioperty owners abut ting. The decision was hauded down yesterday in the case of M. A. Cosgilf, Sarah Busse, Frank Coufel, William Whitmore and WiUiam Mc Sharry against the Trl State Telephone company. These plaintiffs brought an action against the telephone company early last summer, and made application to Judge Flsk Cjf the district court for a temporary injunction, restraining tho com pany from building a telephone line along the highway in Chester township adjoining their property. Judge Flsk denied the motion for a temporary injunction, holding that the plaintiffs were not damaged by the construction of the line ilong the highway. An appeal to the su preme court was taken from this order and the supreme court has leveised Judge Fisk's order and directed the entry of an order granting a emporary injunction. Must Settle with Owners. The telephone line was built along the line surveyed after the temporary injunction had been denied, and the supreme court decision will prob ably mean that some settlement will have to be made with the property owners. That the de cision is an important one is shown by the Inter est taken in the case. The Trl-State company was represented by J. B. Wineman and George A. Bangs, and before the case was submitted to the supreme court the Northwestern Telephone company joined with the Tri-State company, thus adding the services of Tracy R. Bangs. The plaintiffs were represented by Skulason & Skulason. An attorney for one of the telephone compa nies stated last night that the decision meant nothing more or less than that the telephone companies would be required to make settlement with abutting property owners along all high ways, but he claimed that there was a federal law Involved that he thinks governs the subject of right-of-way, and he gave it as his opinion that the United States supreme court would be asked to pass on the case before the matter was allowed to rest. Cannot Tax State. The state supreme court has affirmed the decision of R. D, Hosklns, clerk of the court, in refusing to tax the costs of the oapitol com mission case against the state. In making itB ruling tho court says: "Under the circumstances of this case we do not think the costs should be allowed. The de fendants had been appointed to execute the pro visions of a statute and were In good faith at tempting to perform their duties. It would be unjust to mulct them for the mistakes of the legislature. The application for the taxation of the costs against the state is denied." The total costs the plaintiffs sought to have taxed amount to about $100. SUMMER SCHOOL TEACHERS Faculty Selected for Mankato State Normal's Training Classes.

The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night Whenever he was laid in his bad, we had to pin his hands down: otherwise he would cratch his face, and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. We finally thought nothLag could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be AlTOHSO HOBXATS. fordunder ut good medical care there. But, be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours poke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to dis-. appear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white asnever before." F.

Climate Is Mild and Equable, Soil Is Rich and Productive, and Land Is Cheap. Special Correspondence to The Inter Ocean Lexington, Texas, Feb. 27, 1006.In tho vast and inviting empire of Texas there Is no other spot, perhaps, that offers sweater inductments to the settler than the Yegua (pronounoed "Tawah") valley, which extends east and west through Lee county. Giddlngs Is the county seat, and Lexington is the chief town of the valley, located on S. A. and A. P. R. R. The section of this valley lying soutn of the town of Lexington about three miles and extending west about fifteen and east about the same distance is richly alluvial, from a half mile to a mile and a half in width, and Is the choicest strip in the heart of a very choice tract of country. It is 848 feet above sea- level, and as a narrow strip of its bottom land is somewhat subject to overflows during the winter and spring rains, the lakes and ponds which are found along the val ley become natural reservoirs for the storage of water for the dry season. The usual temperature in winter Is 45 degrees, in summer from 85 to 90. There are no extremes and no sudden changes, and the equable climate, together with the altitude, renders such diseases as asthma, bronchitis, lung affections ana rheumatism rare among the inhabitant*. Dr. A. C. Connor, president of the Lex ington immigration league, said yester day: "The Yegua valley might, but it does not, make any pretensions to cele brity as a health resort When it boasts at all, its boasting is confined to the ad vantages which it has to offer the man who is desirous of investing a small amount of money, that he may draw large dividends during all the years of his life and leave a dividend-paying prop erty to those who come after, him. Bounteous Crops of Valley. "The staple crops in the Yegua are corn, cotton, sugar cane, oats, potatoes (Irish and sweet kaffir corn, field peas, and the like. In the line of vegetable^, beans, cucumbers, radishes, english peas, asparagus, tomatoes, cantaloupes, cabbage, cauliflower, watermelons, celery, etc., all grow profusely and ripen early. Eng lish peas, for instance, ripen in May, can teloupes in May, tomatoes all the sea son, from May to November, cabbage is planted for the winter market and is ready for northern shipment In January and February. "Then as to fruit. Wild fox, post-oak and mustang grapes grow in luxuriant quantities all over the country, and are indigenous. An excellent wine is made from them, and they are so plentiful in" their wild state that hundreds of tons go to waste annually. The vines and stalks can be budded or grafted with any high grade variety. Dewberries and black berries ,are also indigenous and ripen in ApTil and May. Apples and pears pro duce well, but the truth Is the farmer and horticulturist may turn his hand to so many crops that require comparatively little care, and secure a ready market, that there has been little temptation as yet to enter upon experiments." The government soil survey which was conducted in the valley last year wiU show that the Orangeburg series of soils exists In the vicinity of Lexington. This is the soil which produces the famous Elberta and other fine varieties of peaches at Jacksonville and Nacogdo ches, also Cuban cigar tobacco, Vuelta Abaja variety. The government has lo cated an expert here to superintend a large acreage of this tobacco this year but the advantage In the Yegua valley is that land there can be purchased for from $5 to $10 an acre, while In the Jack sonville district no better land brings from $40 to $50. Some fine orchards are already bearing, and many others are being planted. All the cucumbers, beana, cabbages, onions, peppers, etc., that can be raised at present are taken at once by one of the greatest pickling establish ments of San Antonio, who have pickling vats here to receive them, and some farmers are making from $50 to $100 an acre in these orops alone. Fifty car loads of hogs have been shipped from Lexing ton during the past fifteen months, and the industry is growing rapidly. "What the present settlers in the val ley are looking for most," continued Dr. Connor, "is not men of great wealth, but men of moderate means who are willing to work along with others who have started In an humble way, but Who are now enjoying financial independence. What is needed is Industry down here. There Is no place for the prince or tho pauper. Extremes In civilization do not meet in this community. There is no opportunity among us for one class to live and subsist off another, but each and all can here receive the just reward of their labor." Surely, as they say, here is a chance for the man of small means to forsake a smoky, selfish and overpopulated city, with all Its disheartening environments, and to cast his lot in a country of de lightful climate and grolden opportunity.
