A state election is not sufficient to stop
the progress of this county this year. We

words, the entire state ie entering upon a
new ira and Union county will lead the

Everything indicates a record breaker
of a fruit crop this year.
The sugar factory people are expecting
grand results this year. They will have
the largest acreage ever planted in this
valley.
The present council it responsible for
cement sidewalks and in the natural or
der of progression the 1906 council will
take care of the sewerage problem.
This has been an ideal winter for lum
bermen. They have secured large quan
tities of logs and the' markets are such
that the mills will be run to their full ca
pacity. This means many large payrolls.
We have enjoyed an annual railroad
payroll in this city for many years in ex
cess of $360,000 but this evidently will
be largely increased when the company
makes the improvements in the shop and
round house s contemplated. Their
present intention is to' expend $250,000
in improvements in this city this year.
A large manufacturing plant ' that will
give employment to anywhere from two
hundred to four hundred employees is one
of the future probabilities and if it comes
it wil be definitely announced within the
next sixty days. This will not only em
ploy a large force of mechanics in its con
struction but will be the means of not a
few homes being built this year. Just

Nearly all the opposition to the Santo
Domingo treaty in the press is due to a
belief that it is likely to implicate us in
similar relations with numerous other
countries. "We know of no single arguT
ment advanced for our intervention in
Santo Domingo." says the New York
Evening Post, "which does not apply, .or
could not be made to apply, to all other
republics in arrears and in difficulty be
tween us and Cape Horn. And the
greater part of theh-.debt like those of
Santo Domingo, is practically of the na
ture of gambling debts. Speculators havs
simply taken chances, as in a lottery, and
now we are to guarantee the lottery." Id
another editorial on "Uncle Sam as Pan
American Receiver," it sets forth the size
of the job it thinks we would shouldering
by ratifying the treaty. It says:
"Santo Domingo first placed a loan
with foreigners in 1869. On it she has
been in default for more than twenty
years. Colombia has had a foreign debt
for some 83 years, during about 47 of
which no interest was paid. The corres
ponding figures for Guatamela. Honduras,
and Venezuela are, respectively. 78 and
48, 78 and 72. 83 and 41. Costa Rica
and Nicaragua have been in default for
more than half the time. Salvador has
repudiated a part of her foreign debt.
Thus It appears that if Uncle Sam is go
ing to set himself up in the business of
liquidating all outstanding Pan-American
debti, he will not lack for occupation!"

Crop conditions for this season of the
year could not be in a more promising
condition. The fall grain is looking fine
and the ground will soon be in elegant
shape for spring work. A good country
cannot be held back.
The high prices for horses the stockmen
are receiving is an incentive to increase
the production. Union county has been
noted for good horses for many years and
the annual expectations represent thous
ands of dollars. - .

Every business man in this city should
become thoroughly interested and inform
ed in the question of irrigation. When we
store the waste waters of - this section
and conduct it on to the valley lands, -then
will the large holdings be subdivided
and our population will rapidly increase.
The building of fifty or one hundred new
homes in this valley every year for the
next few years would bring almost as
much money into this county as . our an
nual wheat crop. This statement might
stagger you at the , first reading but a .
moment's consideration as to what that
means will convince you of its correctness.
