Preceding the business meeting the club
sat down to a banquet, at which Hon.
Clarke E. Carr of Galesburg. III., formerly
I'nlted States minister to Denmark, and
Hon. W, Bainhridge of this city, formerly
second secretary of the American lega
tion at Peking, China, and more recently
American representative on the I'nlted
Stntes and Venezuelan claims commission,
vere the guests of' honor. They were the

his subject. "Abraham Lincoln, the First
investor in Council Bluffs Real Estate,"
and Mr. Bainhridge speaking on "Our
Trade Relations with the Orient." About
125 members of the club sat down to the
banquet. Victor E. Bender, president of
the club, acted as toastmaster and Intro
duced the speakers.
Karly Impressions of City.
Colonel Carr, who was the first speaker,
In opening told of his first visit to Council
Bluffs forty years ago. He made the trip
from St. Joseph to Council Bluffs, there
being no railroads here at that time, the
Northwestern, which was building In this
direction, being forty miles away. Its ad
vent, he said, was the topic of general
talk and a great future was being prophe
sied for Council Bluffs. While In Council
Bluffs he said he became acquainted with
Marshal Turley, a former resident of Gales
burg, III., and a pioneer settler of this city.
Mr. Turley, he said, was very enthusiastic
regarding the future of the city and fre
quently declared that Council Bluffs would
some time become the railroad center of
the west. "Mr. Turley was a good prophet.'
he said. Influenced by Turley's optimistic
predictions and his own Judgment Colonel
Carr purchased fiwty acres of land on the
bottoms In the western part of the cltv.
"Although I have often been In need of
money I have held on to my holdings and
rnusea to sen mem. 1 am confident, ss
formerly, in the ultimate success of the In
vestment which I made forty years ago,"
he said.
From here he said he crossed the river to
Omaha, where he found numbers of Tow
nee Indians on whst Is now Farnam street,
He purchased property there at what Is
now the northeast corner of Podge and
Thirteenth street, but subsequently sold It
to W. P. Kellogg, first chief Justice of Ne
braska.
After Indulging In these remlnlscensrs
Colonel Carr began to talk more directly on
his subject, "Abraham Lincoln, the First
Investor In Council Bluffs Real Estate,
saying:
Tribute to Lincoln.
The charter of the I'nlon Pacific mllinurt
provided, as I recollect It. that the presi
dent of the I'nlted States should designate
i a point on me Missouri rtver the Initial
point or me roan. Aa i recollect he 1I.
nated a point In Council Bluffs in nr(p in
require the railroad to build a bridge acroes
me Missouri river. it was then stated
with how much truth I cannot tell, that
when President Lincoln, with the map be
fore him. designated this point he looked
un anu laceiiousiv remarneo: I mil nut
It here, for I own some lots In the neigh
borhood." Ahrsham Lincoln was the most serious
man I ever saw. When I heard him tn Ma
area l aooress ai tiettvslmrg. when I hetrd
him deliver his second inaugural oration
when he said "With malice toward none,
with chsritv for all." there was such dlg

Mr. Bainhridge. who was accorded an en
thuslastlc reception, showed a thorough
convorsancy with his subject, "America's
Trade Relations with the Orient." and his
address proved moat Interesting. II said
In part:
Tr with Orient.
Mr. Raliibrldge, after referring to the
'pleasure It gave him after several )targ
absence from Council Muffs, whlth he was
proud to still call his home, to tlnd that
he had not been entirely forgotten by iU
people and that on every hand were mul
tiplying evidences of the city's prosperity,
aid In part aa follows;
The ramifications of commerce are so
Intricate and tar-reaching, local Interests
are often so dependent upon remote con
ditions, that no apology is needed or of
fered tor mv choice ol a subject. It Is a
plain and practical subject, coming home to
mens bosoms and business anu I anall
attempt to deal with it In a practical way.
indulging In the somewhat dry but signi
ficant figures which mean national pros
perity rnther than In the more glittering
figures of rhetoric.
The crv of the merchant and the manu
facturer Is apt to be: "What we want are
orders." The cry of the commercial and
manufacturing nations of the world today
Is: "What we want are markets." We
are a commercial and manufacturing na
tion. The time was, and not so long past
either, when for us the home market a
all-sufflclent. The home market Is the best
of all markets there Is no doubt what
ever about that and worth being kept
the best. But domestic production will
often outstrip domestic consumption, and
the surplus must be provided for. or pro
duction must be curtailed with resulting
loss both to labor and to Invested capital.
It has been for some time apparent to the
student of American trade conditions that
foreign markets would soon become an ur
gent necessity. The problem has been
where to find tnem. The European states
sre commercial and manufacturing na
tions too. reaching out under the stress
of an equal necessity, with Intelligent ami
energetic effort for distant markets. Still
American Inventive genius, more Intelligent
and skilled, becai.e better paid labor and
production upon a vaster and hence a
cheaper scale, have enabled us to enter
even the markets of Europe with our manu
factures. But the real need Is for markets
capable of exploitation and development.
Foothold In the Far Knat.
The highest American statesmanship,
from William H. Seward to John Hay. has
concerned Itself to foster and make se
cure our commercial Interests In the Ori
ent. Slowly and laboriously American
trade has gained and kept a foothold there
as the barriers of exclusion and prejudice
have yielded to the Impact of western
civilization. New wants have been cre
ated, new demands have been supplied,
new Melds of enterprise opened. But It has
been only within the last decade that the
marvelous possibilities of the oriental mar
kets have been actually demonstrated. Our
total exchanges with China and Japan In
creased from $4.0o0.000 In 1SKS to $U'O,(K0.(i09
In 1903. Our exports to those countries
amounted In 18s to about $11,000,000. Last
year we sold to Japan and China goods to
ah aggregate value of over 48,O0O.O"). The
pessimist will say that after all this Is
only a comparatively small Item In the
grand total of $l,io.n00.ono of our export
trade In 1903. Granted. But mark the per
centage of increase as Indicating the rapid
extension of demand and the Inherent pos
sibility of growth. In my Judgment that Is
the test of the value of the oriental mar
ket and amply Justifies an optimistic view.
The northern farmer no less than the
southern planter Is sharing in the benefits
of the eastern markets. In 1W9 we shipped
to Japan and China 4(18.065 barrels of wheat
Hour, the value being $1,746,622. In 188.9 our
exports reached 1. 476.869 barrels, worth
$4.KTi3.25ii a gain of l.OOO.oOO barrels In quan
tity and over $3.0U0.0oo In value. Everything
considered, the Increased demand for
American flour has been the most signifi
cant feature of our oriental trade. Prior
to the military occupation of north China
In 1901. following the selge, 1 had never
seen In Peking, outside of the two foreign
stores, which supplied the legations, a
single sack of foreign-mode flour. But
when I left there In November, 1902. Ameri
can Hour was arriving by the tralnloud.

LECAL BAN ON CHILD LABOR
Hon'! Pies Senate Bill with OdIj Blight
Amendment.
DEAF SCHOOL APPfiOPRIATION BILL UP
Indications Are ofhln Mill tome
of the Talk of Heniovlna: the
Institution from Council
Hlnffs.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINES, March 2 -tSpci lal ) Tho
bill to prohibit emploicnt of children In
certain occupations that deprive them of
opportunity for education or Injure their
health, or are dungerous to life, was for
the first time taken up In 'he house today
for consideration. The child labor bill wns
originally Introduced In both housos. The
senate passed It first and today Mr. Cum
mings had the seuute bill substituted for
the house bill, and debate was on the
amended bill. Mr. Cummlngs stated It was
drawn up by an able lawyer and had been
passed on by a eulx-ommlttee of both
branches and approved, and It has back of
It the good women of the state and the
labor organizations. He declared that the
time is ripe for such legislation in Iowa
and quoted statistics to show the rapid
growth of child labor and the Increase of
Illiteracy Incident thereto. He regretted
the senate has struck out the reference to
mercantile establishments.
Mr. Hart had the bill amended to Include
mercantile establishments where more than
ten persons are employed, and declared
that there is no place where there is such
mental and physical strain and moral dan
ger to children as In the department stores,
at which the bill strikes.
Pending further discussion the bill went
over until 10 o'clock Thursday, when It will
be a special order in the house.
The bouse considered and passed the
Christlanson bill to regulate the running of
automobiles and to provide for registration
of owners and a small license fee.
A resolution was passed calling for the
reports of the subcommittees on visitation
of institutions.
ennte Passes Many mils.
The senate went to work to clear the
calendar and passed a number of hills, all
of minor Importance, among them the fol
lowing:
House bill to provide that contested elec
tion ciises shall be henrd by courts at the
first term after docketing.
House bill to protect employes and wage
earners from garnishment under certain
circumstances, relating to the collection of
bills In states other than where Judgment
Is secured.
Senate bill to appropriate for a deficit In
the supreme court contingent fund.
House bill to require county clerks to
notify the clerk of the supreme court In
case of disbarment or suspension of an at
torney. Senate bill to appropriate $1,000 for the
Inspection of county and private insane
hospitals.
The joint resolution defining the duties
of the state labor commissioner In the mat
ter of collecting statistics In harmony with
the work of the national census bureau.
The senate passed a resolution providing

ew Bills.
Senate Bills Crawford, to give Dubuque

appropriating to pay Oil Inspector Young;
Hambloton. permitting a contract with pri
vate hospital for public service; Jacobson,
changing method of changing names;
Weeks, to sell the lake beds of Iowa:
school committee., bill to provide for con
solidation of schools and transportation of
pupils.
Appropriations for Deaf School.
The senate committee on appropriations
today considered the bill for appropria
tions for the Deaf School at Council Bluffs.
The consideration of this appropriation
bill brought up, of necessity, the whole
matter of the propriety of providing for
rebuilding on the present site or the scheme
to secure a new and better location for
the, school before the stale expends any
more money on the same. The committee
called the members of the State Board of
Control before It for consultation and to
secura Information as to the needs of the
school and the necessity for suitable
ground on which to plane the same, and
there was also before the committee per
sons Interested in having the school re
tained at Council Bluffs. While the com
mittee did not af this time decide the
matter, the general sentiment of the mem
bers seemed to favor making the appro
priation with a view to leaving the school
on Its present site.
Lobby for Pare Food,
A number of the members of the state
Agricultural department are here In the
Interest of the pure food bill which was
prepared and endorsed by that department
and has received the approval of the re
tail merchants of the state. It Is expected
that the bill will be amended materially
before It becomes a law, but the opposi
tion of the Jobbers to the measure will
not be sufficient to prevent some sort of
legislation along this line. The bill for
bids adulteration or misbranding of foods
and fixes heavy penalties. In case the
dealer has a guaranty, on the stuff pur
chased he Is released and the penalties
full on the person selling the same.
Opposition to Block men's, mil.
The legislative committees on the Delano
bill, or measure to regulate the running of
slock trains, was continued today and rep
resentatives of the railroad Interests were
heard. Five of the general managers of
lines In Iowa have appeared before the
committee to state their views on the mat
ter. Their argument was much the same
in all cases. They pointed out especially
the Impossibility of providing for the mov
ing of trains at a fixed rate of speed, or

of getting them all at the market at the

had handled fti.orm cars of stock. The
same company, Mr. Gardner stated, gen
erally has twenty-five stock trains Into
Chicago every Monday morning. It would
be Impossible to get them all In at the
same time.
Tlie Milwaukee company, it was stated
later, often hs as many as fifteen stock
trains on the tracks between Savsnnh and
Chicago snd they cannot be run closer to
gether than fifteen minutes.
Mr. Delano, of the Burlington, spoke of
the fact that extra speed In trains costs
money, and It cannot be reached with
out great expense. If slock trains are to
go twenty miles an hour there will be ac
cidents and extra expense. He thought
more could be done by conference than
by legislation.
An experiment had been made as to
speed of trains on the Milwaukee line,
and Mr. Williams stated that on a certain
line of double track where there Is noth
ing to do but keep Ihe trains moving for
ward the best the company could do In
November was to average ' twenty-one
miles an hour and In December nineteen
miles an hour. To require twenty miles
an hour. Including stops, would be Im
possible. Mr. Sllfer. of the Rock Island, spoke
especially of the danger of attempting to
run freight trains at high speed, and of
the certainty of serious accidents If an
attempt was .made to maintain a speed
of twenty miles an hour as proposed for
a law In Iowa. Tlie successful railroad
manager, be stated, is the one who ac
complishes the moet with reasonable ex
pense and perfect safety.

have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother

sre members of the county convention,
which Is to meet Saturday, held a meeting
tods) and determined that If possible there
should be an attempt made to send to
the state convention n delegation hostile
to the governor snd to keep him off tlie
delegation entirely. In this way It would
be made sure that the state convention
would t.ot send the governor its a de'e
gate to the national convention snd the
way would be made clear for others. But
It Is uncertain whether the governor or his
opponents will control the county con
vention, as the delegations were not picked
with -a view to dabbling In the state poll
tics, but solely in regard to the congres
sional flght. In case the convention Is
hostile to the governor It Is regarded as
certain there will he a fight In the rest
of the district on the nomination of Hull.
The situation promises some political un
rest for some time.
