Pretoria, April 4.-Communication

stad, but nothing is yet known of the
result. The majority of the military

tions. It is pointed out that once be-
fore, when. hard pressed, the Trans
vaalers showed desire for peace, but
this was promptly overridden by Pres
ident Steyn. Nothing in the present
situation, SO far as known, indicates
that President Steyn is less irreconcil-
liable than previously. Indeed, the
known facts seem to point to greater
determination to continue the struggle.

Black Hawk County Supervisors Ask
for Orphan Home Records.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Nov. 13.-The board of
supervisors of Blackhawk county have
decided that they want to know what
becomes of their wards the orphans
that were turned over by them to the
Iowa Children's home at Des Moines.
Mrs. Carhart, the representative of the
home. was called to the meeting now
in session regarding matters pertain
ing to certain children that she had
taken from this county In all she had
taken about twenty for the home, and
the supervisors have heard no more of
them.
At her last visit the supervisors ask
ed that they be given a record of
where the children are placed. Mrs.
Carhart strenuously objected, stating
that it was not the policy of the insti-
tuition, as the parents of the children
frequently caused trouble when they
knew where the children We're sent.
After an animated discussion Mrs Car
hart stated that any representative of
the board would be permitted to ex-
anime the records of the institution
and find where the children were
bound out. This agreement the super
visors accepted.

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-The story that
James C. Davis is to come from Keokuk
to Des Mones to represent the North
western railroad in the state of Iowa
came originally from Mt. Pleasant,
where Rogers, of the Mt. Pleasant
News. first put it in circulation. When
first mentioned in Des Moines it was
received with credulity by those who
were at all interested. 1t has been COM
mon talk here for some time that Da-
Wis will be the next congressman from
the First district. He is being groomed
for that race and Lee county republ1-
cans feel that pes Moines county has
had the congressman long enough. Da-
Wis is very popular in the First district.
He has practice which extends over
a number of counties. When the MeKl
brothers employed lawyer short
time ago to look after their interests
before a condemnation jury in regard to
their famous dam, Jim" Davis was
sent for, and his ability is testified that
he got $4,000 award of damages to
$4,000 property. But what made the
news seem improbable is the fact that
Mr.. Bowers, general attorney for the
Northwestern, has fully determined
upon a course that will give the North
western less notoriety in Iowa politics
than in the past. 1t is known, for in

REFORM IN cREAMERlEs.
New Plan Being Worked Successful,
In Northeastern Iowa.

iHeW ran BENG WORKED successfully
In Northeastern Iowa.
Special to Times Republican.
McGregor, Nov. 13.-The creamery
and dairy business of the country is be-
ing conducted on a different basis than
it was ten years ago. The closing and
failing of the small creamery has been
caused by logical reasons, one of which
is the cost of operation in relation to
the total value of the product, which
has been entirely too high. The process
of GENERALIZATION has been as marked in
the creamery business as in any other
and we believe that the territory COW
cred by the successful creamery is to be
measured in the future by hundreds of
miles. The ;. d. Bickel Produce Com
pany, of this city, are the pioneers in
this movement in northeastern Iowa.
Instead, as in former years, cream was
hauled In wagons thru the hot sun a
distance of ten miles to some obscure
creamery. the Rickel people have solved
the TRANSPORTATION problem by using the
railroads and today they have built up a
service of over 400 patrons within 150
miles from McGregor. The cream is
placed in large tin cans and delivered

by the farmers to the railroad station
and before the day is ended it is landed
ut the Bickel creamery. To gain an
idea of the scope of country covered by
this creamery, it is only necessary to
state that on the northwest cream is
sent from Freeburg, Mimi, on the east
from Avoca, Wis, on the northwest
from Cresco, Iowa, on the southwest
from Fayette, Iowa, and from the west
as far as Charles City.
The average daily output of this fac
tory is now about 5000 pounds, and is
Increasing rapidly.
In connection with their creamery
business the Bickel people have deyel-
cped a new process for the renovation
of butter and making it fit for consump-
ton.
The Bickel people have built UP a
large business, employing about twen-
ty-five people, and in order to accom-
modate their fast growing patronage
are making many additions. A large
warehouse 50x100 feet, three stories
high, is already planned, and will be
built just across the street.

Last summer inquiry was made of Mr..

to the future policy of the company in
these matters, and he stated without

he would keep the Northwestern free
from interference in state politics.
Whether Davis makes a connection

is busily engaged in preparing for the
next convention of that organization,
which will be held in Des Moines on
Dec. 2, and 4, 1902. The program this
year Will not be SO lengthy as at Mar
shalltown last year, but will be one OF
SURPRISING interest to the members and
dealers present. Papers on subjects OF
importance to the implement and We
hicle dealers will be read, and followed
by informal discussions. One of the
questions that will receive special at
tention along this line is that pertain
ing to the sale of harvesting machinery
and the way in which the new and gi-
gantic harvester combine is going to
affect the retail dealer and the farmer.
Another matter that VIII come up for
attention from the dealers is that OF
organizing and operating mutual IN
surance association. This plan has be-
come very popular and it is understood
that there is little doubt but that the
organization as contemplated will be
effected. Companies of this kind are in

Rock Island System Will Have Con-
tnuous Line.
Special to Times publican.
Des Moines, Nov. ia Des Moines
iobber is in receipt of a letter from one
of the general officers of the Rock ISL
and road saying that before Jan. l. 1905,
the Rock Island road will own and OPP
crate continuous line of road from
Chicago to the Pacific coast
The information is to the effect that
this line will be completed by the con-
struction of 325 miles OF new road and
that the route will be such that the
Rock Island road will be over 400 miles
shorter between Kansas City and a
deep water harbor on the Pacific than
is the Union Pacific, and about 125
miles shorter than the Omaha and San
Francisco line of the Union and Central
Pacifics. 1t will be fully 800 miles
shorter between Chicago and the Paci-
fic than either the Santa Fe or the I'm
ion Pacific.
Agiabampo, a deep water and land
locked harbor on the Gulf of California
in old Mexico, will be the Pacific coast
terminus Of the road. This is the same
port to which Stilwell of Kansas City
is undertaking to construct a line to be
known as the Kansas City & Orient,
and upon which work is in progress.
The Rock Island line will be extended
from Ell Paso, to which point 1T has but
recently been completed. The company
has secured control of a road known as
the Rio Grande, San Madre & Pacific,
extending southwest from Ell Paso to
Terrazas, Mexico, distance of ITS
miles. This line will be taken over and
operated as a part OF the Rock Island
system and will be added to the mileage
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Ell Paso
Company. From Terrazas surveys have
been made to Agiabampo thru Tuluaca
and Saint Rosa, Mexico, and following
the course of the Rio Mayo river to
Santa Cruz, on the Pacific coast, from
which point the coast line is followed
for fifteen miles into Agiabampo.
The line 1t is intended to construct
will be 325 miles long and the claim is
made that according to surveys made it
will be blessed with lighter grades than
exist on any of the transcontinental
lines. 1t is the intention to commence
construction work south from Terrazas
within the next few months, or as soon
as right of way concessions can be Sc
cured from the Mexican government. In
connection with the building of the ex-
tension a great deal of work in the re-
ducing of grades is to be done on the Rio
Grande, San Madre & Pacific road.
With the completion of this line and
of the Rock Islands extensions from
Fort Worth to Galveston and Denver to
Salt Lake and Ogden, the company will
be independent of the Hartman trans
continental lines and will have access
to every principal gateway with a sys-
tenn extending from Chicago and st.
Louis on the east and Minneapolis and
st. Paul on the north to Galveston on
the Gulf and to the Pacific on the west
