Blythe and Old Line Machine Men Try
to Undermine the Governor.

They Pound Him for His Tariff Views
and Set Pins for the Next Toga.
the Journal says: A great revival Of
activity among the anti Cummins
forces has become noticeable turnout
the state. From sources close to j. w.
Blythe it is given out that he has the
senatorship in mind and that he may
endeavor to beat Dolliver in 1906. In
view of Allison's advanced age, 1t Is
generally realized that it is natural he
should be incapacitated at any time
and in such an event, Mr.. Blythe wants
to be in readiness to grasp the senator
ial toga from his shoulders and prevent
it from going to Cummins.
For a good while it has been gossip
that Blythe wanted the senatorship,
but his followers have stoutly denied he
was seeking it for himself, tho admit
ting he would endeavor to secure the
selection of some other than Cummins
to succeed Allison and to GUST Dolliver
from the place If possible. 1t is be-
coming pretty clear, however, that
Blythe wants the senatorship himself
and that if Allison continues to be hale
and hearty with prospects for being an
when the 1906 legislature
meets, the Burlington sachem will go
after Delivers scalp.
All over the state there is a lining UP
of the Cummins and Blythe forces in
for the, legislative cam
paign of the coming summer. Renewed
activity is expected to manifest itself
as soon as James c. Davis, the success
sor OF Judge Hubbard in the service Of
the Northwestern, is fairly established
in his new post of attorney for Iowa,
with headquarters at Des Moines. Mr..
Davis is thoroughly allied to Blythe, is
able as politician and an attorney.
and will undoubtedly sway strong
influence here. Indeed, some of the
political representations have not been
slow to point out the fact that Mr..

Cambridge, Dec. 29.-The prospects
are excellent for Cambridge to become
q railroad center. The town now has
the main line of the c. M. & st. Paul
Northern just finished from Iowa Falls
to Des Moines, while corps of en-
gineers have just finished a survey
from Grinnell to Boone thru Cambridge
and the electric line from Des Moines
to Eldora passes thru the town.
Cambridge is one of the oldest towns
in central Iowa, having been estab-
lished in the early fiities and remained
an inland town until 1881 when the
C. NJ. & st. p. was constructed.
Cambridge was then selected as
division station and turn tables,
coal sheds and water tanks were ess-
tabished, but the division station was
relocated at Perry.
Cambridge is located in one of the
best agricultural districts in Iowa, be-
sides having plenty of timber, excellent
tanks, of No. brick clay and Is bound to
become one of the enterprising towns
of Iowa even with its present railroad
facilities.

Davis is good senatorial timber HIM
self from the machine viewpoint, and
that with the two great railroad ma
chimes of the Burlington and the
Northwestern working in harmony, 1T
would not be surprising to see him a
candidate, in case anything should hap
pen to prevent Mr.. Blythe from contin-
uing as O. candidate himself.
The senators who are elected in 1908
will hold until after the senatorial cleo
ton in 1906. and it is this fact that is
causing an active effort on the part of
the Blythe forces to get control Of the
assembly or, at least, of the upper
house. The house of representatives
is of less Importance as its members
hold for but two years, or half as long
as the senators. One fact overlooked in
connection with the election of a senator
to succeed Dolliver Is that IL the binnial
elections amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state is adopted Delivers
successor will be chosen in 1907. Other
wise, If the amendment fails to become
a part of the constitution, this election
will be in 1906. In any event, the state
senators elected next year will partici-
pate in the choice of United States
senator.
The addresses of Cummins in behalf
of reciprocity and tariff revision, be-
ginning with his Minneapolis address
of last summer, are being made the
chief ground of opposition to the gov
ernor by the machine newspapers. A
press bureau has been established in
Des Moines by the anti Cummins
forces and thru this and thru the edi-
torial columns of a half dozen we'll
known papers in the state, every effort
is being made to break Cummins down
and injure his standing with the party.
The excuse is opposition to tariff revis-
ion, but the United States senatorship
is the real cause of the contention.
Friends of Senator Thomas d. Healy,
of Fort Dodge, are making an effort to
get him to run for senator from the
district consisting of Webster and Call
houn counties for another term. Healy
has been one of the strongest and most
brilliant figures In the state senate for
several years and in case he Is not re-
turned, 1t will be distinct loss to the
upper house. He is strong Cummins
leader and the Cummins element is
anxious to have him serve another
term.

Last Friday Thomas s. Dennis had
an experience with a vicious dog which
he will not soon forget. He was as
sisting in the removal of the Journal
to its new quarters in the old pants
factory. In front of the Office Fred
Wells big bull dog jumped onto a
smaller dog belonging to Frank Be-
sack, and was literally chewing up
the little dog when Tom and another
man interferred and tried to separate
the animals. The bull dog turned up
on them and caught Tom by the foot
sinking his teeth thru his shoe and
into the foot, and making an ugly
wound. He kept at his work for some
time, until the pain grew so great
that he was compelled to go home
and call a physician. The foot was
swollen until almost the size of two,
but the doctor says Tom will have
no serious trouble unless blood poison
should set in, which he thinks is not
probable now Such dog should either
be kept muzzled or killed-the latter
preferable.

f. A. Hall, son of S. L. Hall, of this
city, came home this week for visit
of two or three weeks, after an absence
of six years in Washington, Idaho and
the Klondike country. During most
of the time he was engaged in the
transportation of stock to Dawson City
and other points in the Yukon coun
try. Last winter he drove live
herd of steers across the snow ana
ice from the coast to Dawson, being
twenty four days on foot, part of the
time with the temperature 6S degrees
below zero. The men had only tent
to sleep in at night. When they
camped at night they shoyeled place
in the snow and cut boughs of trees
and put around it and the cattle hud-
died together in there and ate their
feed and chewed their cud as con-
tentedly as il in barn. They reach
ed Dawson in good flesh and some cf
them dressed 900 pounds. The meat
brought SO cents per pound. The
company Mr.. Hall is with sends out
similar expeditions frequently.

The heaviest yield of corn the Star
Clipper has heard of in Tama county
this year is reported by John Kober ST.,

eight acres and claims to have husked
therefrom 1880 bushels of good sound
corn. 1t was timber land and only
second crop on part of it. Frank
Hadsell, a Traer business man years
ago, now a u. S. marshal at Cheyenne,
Wyoming, does not seem to be likely to

ola mine in that state. of which Frank
is a leading stockholder, was sold out
last week for $1S0,o00.
Spirit Lake.
In recent years there has been money
in poultry. Eggs have ranged at good
figures and the high price of meats has
made the fowls profitable for killing.
Here about the lakes, says the Beacon,
the poultry business is particularly in
viting to farmers. The crowds of sum
mer visitors send up the summer prices
of eggs and make early fries bring
fancy figures. This advantage is adj
ditional to general conditions which
make the business profitable. Last
year man living in the edge of town
sold eggs to the value of $40 from a
flock of hens worth perhaps $50. This
has not been very good year for poul-
try on account of the excessive rains,
but it Is safe to say that the earning
capacity of 50 invested in hens has
been larger than that of $50 invested
in land. 1t costs little to get start
in this line, and for the money invested
and work expended no feature of farm
activity is SO profitable.

Sioux City, Dec. 29.--John Marston,
Jr., chief engineer for the Mason City
and Fort Dodge company, has COM
pleted the surveys to determine the
route of the proposed extension of the
Chicago Great Western system to Sioux
City and has submitted his report to

All three surveys center at Ida Grove
and run from that point westward to
Anthem, soutfwestward to Holly
Springs. and northwestward to Sioux
City.
The three routes to Ida Grove are as
follows:
From Somers via Rockwell City and
Sac City.
From Lohrville via Lake City and
Wall Lake.
From Lidderdale via Wall Lake.
The report of Mr.. Marston was sub
mitted without recommendation as to
any of the routes.
