THINKS TOWERS WILL co
Alderman Mcdonald Expects Majority Of
Council TO Be with Him.
LIGHT COMPANY MAY OPPOSE THE MOVE
some CounciImen Favor Their Reten-
tion, hut Leader in the Movement
Thinks He VIII win
This Time.

At the meeting Of the city council to-
night Alderman Mcdonald Of the Fourth
ward will present a motion calling for the
removal Of the electric light towers
throughout the city and the distribution OF
these lights. Mr.. Mcdonald is Of the opin-
ion that he will receive sufficient support
to carry the motion and that before long
the antiqusted light towers will be con-
signed to the junk pile. While he believes
he will have a majority OF the councilmen
with him, Mr.. Mcdonald expects some OPP
position from certain quarters but feels
that IL is the desire of the people at large
that the towers be taken down and by so
doing remove a constant source Of danger
to the public and the men compelled to
work on them.
It is expected that the Electric Light
company will make more or less objection
to the removal Of the towers and being
put to the expense OF relocating the lights
at street intersections but Alderman Nc
Donald is determined to push the matter
as he believes the interests of the public
at large should be considered by the city
council before those Of the corporation.
When the new contract between the city
and the Electric Light company was en-
tered into two years ago, IT was suggested
certain aldermen were opposed to the
proposition. believing that a greater area
could be lighted by the towers than by the
distribution OF the lamps. Experience, 1t is
said, has proven that this was a mistaken
idea and that better results can be OBJ
tained by hanging the lights at the street
intersections or wherever decided upon by
the committee on lighting. 1t is contended
that during the greater part of the year
when the shade trees along the avenues
and residence streets are in foliage the
light from the towers is practically use
less, whereas II the lamps were distributed
and hung at the street intersections far
better results would be obtained.
In presenting his motion at the meeting
of the city council tonight Alderman Nc
Donald will have the support Of Alderman
Lovett, who is an experienced electrician
and chairman Of the committee on light
ing.

At the meeting OF the Board Of Educa-

Of the fire escapes which must be placed

board must comply with the state law in
this respect is nearly up and Chairman
Cooper will insist that some definite ac-

DEs MONIES, Nov. 16-(Special THE
question OF the value Of the crops of Iowa
is one which the experts and investigators
are trying to solve now more earnestly
than ever before, for this year not only
is the Iowa crop small but much OF il is of
quality that renders il unit for the mar
ket. The annual report Of the State Crop
and weather bureau on the yield and acre
age and value OF Iowa crops will be due
in a few weeks. Director Sage is engaged
in securing the data from which to prepare
the report. He says that it is far more
difficult to secure this information this
year than in others for the reason there
is so much uncertainty about the actual
value Of the crops. Some time ago the
State Agricultural college people entered
upon an investigation to determine the
feeding value OF soft corn, because there
is ouch a large amount of it in Iowa this
year. Prof Weems of the state college
conducted analysis to show that the amount
Of food in the corn is substantially the
same as when IL is very dry but it must
be fed soon to save this nutriment. Mr..
Sage has conducted an extensive inquiry
among farmers and feeders and fpds that
the feeding value OF the soft corn for i'm
mediate use is the same as for dry corn
He therefore proposes to make inquiry as
to the proportion Of grain which is mar
ketable and that which is fit only for i'm
mediate use in feeding and 70 embody this
in the report for the first time. The deal
ers in grain are interested more in the
marketable grain than in that which is
fit only for feeding on the farms, but the
latter will be included in estimating the
total value of Iowa crops. The inquiry as
to all manner of farm crops covers a wider
a1d hoFo ba
proIliUn TO be more valuable than usual
The statistics will not be given out until
late because OF the importance o. wait
ing until the crop is all gathered. 1t is
regaId ded as entirely possible that much
damage may yet be done crops by unfav-
orable weather most of the corn remain
ing in the fields.

Basis of Payment.

The company asserts that payment by
weight is impracticable at it's mines, as
each mine constitutes a distinct problem
and the conditions vary from month TO
month. The only method which has ever
given satisfaction at the company's work
ings, it is said, is payment for cutting coal
by the lineal yard. The rate Of payment
can be determined only in each particular
case between the superintendent and the
miner. Some influence, believed to be that
OF the union. has led the men to reduce the
production, but notwithstanding this diff
Guilty 1t remains true that the only way in
which wages can be satisfactorily measured
is by contract for the work done which
necessarily varies from mine to mine. and
