If the Unitod States wishes to
j take care of its production as
; will as its citizenship it will get
: busy at once and enact marine
i legislation that will carry the
! American flag into every port in
j the world. We have the natural
resources and the production, and
j we .should sec to it that American
' ships in a great part carry Amer
ican trade. Of course? we can
not in reason expect to carry it
all, but we should use every
means to make us a maritime
power in the commercial realm
for ships bring trade and we
have the trade to load the ships.

near Verboort, Oct. 18, 1885.

Cooper Mountain; Clement, of

Mr. Kemmer was very indus

his fiftieth year had carved a fine
home out of the timber- on the
mountain south of Aloha. He was
a good citizen, a kind and loving
husband and father and his good
nature made him a host of )
friends. He will be missed by the
community in which he lived and
by a large circle of friends all
over the county.
