Will Make Assessment.
The state executive council has de-
cided to assess for taxation the aban-
doned line of railroad used by the
Northwestern as main line, formerly
from Moingora to Boone. This line
was abandoned as a main track when
the company built it's new 100000
bridge across the Des Moines river. 1t
was not reported by the company for
assessment, but the authorities OF
Boone county insisted that it be in
Guided.
The company uses 1t as branch
merely running one train a day over it
and claims it is side-track merely

aid for Miners.
1t is estimated that the Iowa soft
coal miners have contributed 100000
to the hard coal strikers in Pennsyl
vania. Of this Des Moines district
miners have contributed probably S75,.
900. In the Des Moines mines the book.
keepers and cashiers at the order of the
miners keep out of the bi-weekly pay
envelopes the ten per cent. of the
wages which the Iowa branch of the
United Mine Workers voted to the sup
port of the strikers. This makes it GER
tain that the per capita contribution is
paid. The miners in this state earn ar
average of about $50 month. There
fore, each one contributes about So q
month to the support of the eastern
strikers. They are cheerful about il
and expect to keep it up willingly and
indefinitely.
