that 46,3O3 tons of freight were
carried, and 1886, 1913 ton-miles
accomplished, per freight locomo-
tive. All Of these items show an
increase when compared with cor
responding items for the proceed
ing year ending June 30, 1898.
There was also a decrease in the
number of passenger cars per
100000 passengers carried, and
|a decrease in the number of
freight cars per 100000 tons Of
freight carried.
Both locomotives and cars be-
ing embraced in the term equip
ment, it is observed that the total
equipment of the railways on June
30, 1899, was l,4l2,6l9. OF this
number, S0S,O74 were fitted with

Practically all locomotives and

freight equipment, it is noted that
nearly all freight locomotives
we're equipped with train brakes

The total number of cars of all

ways on June 30, 1899, was 1876
GIG, an increase of 1912 being
shown in this item. OF the total
number, $3.50 are assigned to the
passenger service, l, 1895, $40 to the

Rival of Kate Shelley.

While the railroad commission
ers were in Boone county yester-
day they visited the scene Of Kate
Shelley's heroism and saw the
bridge which is being put in there
to decrease the danger of travel
on the North Western road at this
point. Only the stone foundations
have yet been put in, but the
structure promises to be a great
work of engineering and one
which will distinguish Iowa from
any other locality in the world.
The bridge is said to be the
highest of the kind in the world.
1t will be exactly 1856 feet from it's
floor to the water of the Des
Moines river which flows beneath.
1t will be 1855 feet long, over
one-half mile. This is from
abutment to abutment. The sp-
proaches to the bridge are of solid
embankment. The bridge is to be
of steel, and will be supported by
twenty-eight steel towers, the lat
ter to rest upon ll2 stone founda-
tions in the form Of pyramids six
teen feet square at the base. Eight
hollow steel pillars filled with ce.
ment are to support the main
structure.
This bridge, when completed,
will take the line of the North
Western at that point three miles
from the scene of Kate Shelley's
thrilling experience. The change
in the road will entirely preclude
any sight of Kate Shelley's home
to the tourist. The scene of Miss
Shelley's heroism is known as
one of the most dangerous on the
line of any road in this part of
the west. 1t is between Boone
and Ogden, near Moingona. There
are at least twenty curves in the
road near this place, with the up
and down grade, as it approaches
the Des Moines river where Kate
Shelley saved the train. 1t has
always been necessary to have a
little engine to assist in pushing
the train over these grades which
are steep. The new line, which
is nearing completion, will elm
mate the grades and curves of the
old line and save several miles,
perhaps three, between Boone
and Ogden. The commissioners
were taken over the finished por-
tions of the road yesterday. There
will be double tracking over this
section and the new bridge will
be used as soon as completed =

Crop Bnlletln for the WeeA
Ending July l6, 1900.

The week ending at 500 m OF
10th was generally fair and dry
during the six working days, af-
fording favorable conditions for
haying and harvesting operations
in all sections. And the time was
we'll improved. 10 the southern
section haying is about completed,
and harvesting small grain is we'll
advanced.
Returns of early threshing in
that section indicate better
yield than had been expected. Iu
the central and northern sections
harvesting is we'll begun and
grain is maturing rapidly, prom
ising fair to good yield. The chief
drawback is that grain of heavy
growth is badly lodged; but loss
from that cause will not be large.
Many of the earlier reports ex-
pressed fears of injury to corn
and other immature crops from
effects Of dry weather. But these
apprehensiops have been happily
dispslled by copious showers that
fell in nearly every county on the
l4th and 18th. The showers gen.
orally fell moderately, and the
moisture was nearly all absorbed
by the soil; but our observer at
Primghar reports a total of 1885
inches, and at the station near
Alta the amount is reported to be
6 so inches.
While some local damage may
result from excess, these showers
have been of inestimable value to
the state at large. The condition
of the corn crop is st;ll very
promising, more than sustaining
the estimates of July, let.
