TROLLEY LINES in IOWA.

[Sioux City Tribune.l
\ 1t seems urqueetionable that in the
next few years large mileage of troll
ley lines will be built in the rural dis
tricts of Iowa. The Des Moines City
Railway Company has just announced
| 1t is backing company that is securing
franchises for several lines out of the
capital city. The new company is going
at work as If it meant business, and
there is no doubt that it is in good faith.
There is every reason why trolley lines
between good towns in Iowa will pay.
The experience of eastern states has
proved that trolley lines lying parallel
to railroads make business; they do not
injure the railroads and they make
money on their own account. One may
ride from end to end of New England
on electric trolley lines. The last line is
now being builded which will make
continuous line from Cincinnati to
cleveland. across Ohio. Indiana and
Michigan are being gridironed by trolley
lines.
The Des Mones system is to be be-
gun. apparently. with a line from Des
Moines southwest to Winterset, Madi-
son county, thence by way of Macks-
burg to Creston. about seventy
miles. Another line from Dies Moines
north to Nevada and on into Hardin
county is planned. Cedar Rapids and
Iowa City newspapers bring Informal
ton of serious agitation of a line be-
tween these TWO towns. and keokuk
people are calculating on promoting one
or two lines out Of the Gate city.
Sioux City men who have Interested
them selves in this question say there
is no better opportunity in the state for
developing a successful system of rural
trolley lines than right here. President
Lawrence says the Traction company
would be glad to make favorable ar
engagements with companies for joint
Operations. From Leeds up the Floyd
valley to LeMars is rich valley. we'll

the line is already completed to Leeds.
and the part constructed includes all the
heavy work that would be necessary.
The same is true of the Riverside line:
from North Riverside TO Jefferson or
even Yankton is a beautiful valley thru
which construction would be inexpen
sive; and there is string of good
towns, and rich and populous country
to contribute business. From the city
south. along the Missouri to Onawa, a
line could De pullt, lnNolNlns heaVier
work than either of the others named,
but on the whole not highly expensive.
Finally. the Traction company already
has plans for building line to Homer,
Neb.. by connection with its South
Sioux City line. This also would ira
verse rich country and go to some
good towns
There is little doubt. in view of the
wonderful record of trolley lines else
where. that Sioux City system would
be of great benefit to this city, to the
towns that would be reached. TO the
people in the Intermediate country, and
to the investors who would back it. The
time may not yet be ripe, but before
many years hourly trolley cars will I'M

SOME LIQUID BEVERAGES.
Cooling Drinks of Cuba Include Very
skIIIfuI Compounds.

Americans have long enjoyed the dis
tinction throughout the world of being
the most skillful of all compounders
of liquid beverages, yet they have been
compelled to acknowledge that they do
not know all that is to be learned in
that line. The dispensers of liquid re-
freshment in Cuba have been able to
teach them lesson or two. Our sol
diers in Cuba were not long in testify
ing their appreciation of the cooling
beverages peculiar to the island. The
Cubans are temperate. Many of their
most popular drinks are nonalcoholic.
In time many of them will probably
become common. The native island
rum and brandy are practically the
only intoxicating beverages used. Light
wines are drunk, but only with meals.
The popular drinks, however, are the
'refrecos," which are long, soft and
cooling. The most popular is the mar
anjada," composed of slices of orange,
little lime. seltzer, ice and sugar. A
popular variation consists of stew OF
cold fruits, containing sliced pine,
mango, orange, lime, pear, settler, ice
and sugar. Accustomed to drinks of
this nature, the Cubans observe the
whisky drinking of the Americans with
disgust.
In the interior of the island the
popular drink is the "cebada,'' made
of sweetened barley water slightly fer
mented. "Agraz," another drink con-
sumed in large quantities, is made of
the juice of unripe grapes, sweetened
with honey and diluted with settler.
Drinks slightly fermented are used in
a great variety of flavors "Goripena,"
which goes in this class, is a pungent
fermented mixture of pineapple rind
sweetened with honey. "Yacamaya"
is strong. heavy cider used in COM
paratively small quantities. No list of
Cuban drinks would be complete with
out the mention of the ''paniae." This
drink was one of the first adopted by
the American soldiers. In consists of
the whites of eggs beaten with sugar.
dried and served in little cakes or rolls.
Every bakery shop in Cuba displays
a pile of these frothy little cakes. A
glass of 'paniae" is made by putting
one or more of these cakes in a glass OF
milk. The best of the regular alcohol
ic drinks made in Cuba is "Bocardi"
rum. 1t is thin, pale, amber-colored
liquor, and is claimed to be particu-
larly adapted to warm climates. It is
drunk with settler and is said to leave
no unpleasant after effects in the hot
test weather.

THE G. 4. R. ENCAMPMENT.
A New Deal Secured in the Elec-
ton fall Officials.
SCHOOL HISTORY CONDEMNED.

Junction City, Kas-, June 1o.-The
election of officers of the Kansas Grand
Army seems to have been in the nature
of contest between the ex-oficers and
the ex-privates and the privates won
the battle all along the line. A. w.
Smith headed the list of candidates
put out by the officers and Martin Ma
ton that of the privates' ticket, for
the place of department commander,
and Nation was chosen. With him, on
the same ticket, the following were
elected: Senior vice commander, Ma
jor ]. B. Remington, Osawatomie;
junior vice commander, B. f. Pealer,
Salina; Chaplain, G. L. Smith, Win
field; medical director, n. W. Hayes,
Abilene.
Smith, it is universally conceded,
was defeated on account of the desire
for a new deal, not because there was
anything against him personally.
Fort Scott was chosen for the en-
campment of 1902, and Hutchinson for
the reunion of 1901.
The resolutions adopted by the de-
partment were tame. The plank in
reference to pension commissioner
reads:
Resolved, That we, the comrades of
the Kansas G. A. R., do most earnest
ly request the president to appoint as
commissioner of pensions for the en-
suing term one who will construe the
laws in the spirit in which they were
enacted and administer the laws ac-
cording to the order and rules of evi.
dence"
The history used in the public schools
of Kansas was condemned in unmeae
ured terms and committee of five was
authorized to urge the text book com
mission to get new one.
The department accepted an invita-.
ton from Republic county to attend
the laying of the cornerstone of the
monument to mark the spot in Repub
lie county where Pike raised the Uni
ted States flag in 1906. This will occur
July4, and the unwilling will be held

canal T.II, a ProbI.m.

The question of tolls on the 18th
milan canal is not so simple as it was
in the case of the Suez, writes a cor
respondent of the New York Post We
have much greater marginal traffic
to consider-one which may be con-
trolled by the rate of toll. The west
coast of South America, in its dealings
with Europe, ought to furnish about
one-third of the available traffic of the
new canal, if opened in 1915. All that
traffic practically could pay a toll of
81 ton. Between the west coast of
South America and the eastern ports
of the United States the traffic could
pay a still heavier toll, as the saving
over the route round the Horn"
would be still greater. On the princi-
pie of charging whatever the traffic
could bear, certain cargoes going
through the canal could doubtless af-
ford to pay SO or 81 a ton.
