Des Moines and Lee counties, while the
republicans would lose one in Clarke
county, but for the fact that 1T goes
democratic every once in a while. If the
twenty-eighth general assembly goes
into the matter with reference to the
last election Schee, in OBrien county,
will be entitled to seat and populist
named Lindsay will get a seat in Mo-
mona county without affecting w. j..
Scott, who now represents both Mo-
mona and Ida counties, but lives in Ida
and would be entitled to seat anyway.
1t was to remedy what We're said then
to be rreconcilable inequalities among
the districts that a bill was proposed in
the last assembly for an amendment to
the constitution to give each county a
representative in the legislature and
the big counties additional representa-
ton according to population up to lis
members. The bill was lost in the shut
file, but it is said that it will be pro-
posed again. The necessity for this in
crease is not apparent when the letter
of the constitution can be followed so
easily, as shown it can be in the fore
going plan. An increase in the number
of legislators would increase the ex-
penses of the assembly enormously. 1t
would be necessary to have more desks,
more janitors, more stationery. more
committees and committee clerks, more
doorkeepers and an increase of $50 a
day in salaries, amounting to $4,000 for
session.

Rumored Northwestern Has Let Con-
tract From Ogden to Carroll.
Boone, Nov. 23.-It is constantly ru-
mored that the contract for the grading
of the double track between Ogden and
Carroll has been let, and that Winston
Bros. and Dear are the lucky men.
Winston Bros. have been in charge of
the grading work for the Boone-Ogden
Short Line and have accomplished their
task, including the filing in of the big
ravines in a way never before at
tempted in railroad history, thus ac-
comprising what is considered a Won
derful engineering feat. The same
firm also has the contract for the
raising of the grade both east and west
of Ames. They also had the contract
for the road from Blue Earth. Mimi,
south, and other important jobs.
The fact that the double track from
Ogden to Carroll IS to be rushed right
along proves that the Northwestern
feels the necessity OF second track
clear across the state.
