TO LAND ON IRELAND.
The Port Of the Canadian Pacific Line
of Fast Steamers

Chicago. Sept. 9-N is planned by
the Canadian Pacific railroad to make
a landing ON the west shore of Ireland
for its proposed line of fast steamers
from the eastern terminus of it's line
TO the British islands. The Englisis
government is said to have approved
the plan, after it was demonstrated
by the railroad people that this scheme
would give the best connections and
the speediest route over which TO reach
the West India possessions and the
colonies of the south sea. AS an evil
dence of the ability of the road to make
fast time across the continent from
Montreal to Vancouver, ninety-six-
hour train was put on few weeks
ago. The fact that the line will, in con-
nection with the Pacific steamers, fly
the British colors, be under the flag
Of England from the coast of England
or Ireland, to the termination OF the
journey in the South Pacific, is men

Cedar Fails, Sept. 9.-The norma!

President Seerley did not think IL
possible to carry out the orders of the

Corn is Maturing Rapidly But
Much OF 1t is Still Rather
Soft.
Special to Times-Republican


Des Moines. Sept. 9.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin, is
sued today. says:
The daily average temperature for
the week was about three degrees be-
low normal. but the days We're mostly
clear and favorable for threshing and
other field work. On the morning of the
4th light frost was observed in nuiner-
Gus localities. but reports indicate no
material damage. Showers on the 5th
were widely distributed and generally
not excessive.
The corn crop appears TO be making
fairly good advancement in the large
part of the state. tho its progress is
not sufficiently rapid to allay anxiety rs
to it's future safety. While about two
thirds of the crop is nearing maturity
and may be entirely safe by the 10Th,
yet there will be an unusually large
percentage of soft corn if killing FROST
comes before Oct. LIST. The extremely
wet and cool condition of the soil great
ly retards the ripening process.
Some portion of the cats crop that
had been left in the shock has been
threshed during the week. and the re-
ports indicate that the percentage of
loss will be very heavy. Spring wheat
is in better condition. the bulk of the
crop being grown in the drier districts
OF the state. Numerous complaints are
being received of loss of late potatoes
by rotting or blight of the tops. The
crop of fall apples is better than was
Indicated by early reports.

summary of crop conditions:
"Altho the week was cool in the CEN

the upper Mississippi valley, maturing
'crops have made generally favorable

Tor and middle Atlantic states, Ohio
valley and portions of the lower lake
region and South Atlantic states con-
tinue to need rain. Light to heavy
frosts were very general in the north
ern districts from Montana to New
England and the Middle Atlantic states
from the Sd to the 9Th, with but slight
injury. Rain is much needed in Wash
ington and Oregon.
notwithstanding the prevalence of
low temperatures thruout the corn belt
and copious rainfalls in portions of the
Mississippi valley, the corn crop has
made very satisfactory advancement
otward maturity and wholly escaped
injury in states eastward of the Mis-
sissippi river from the frosts occurring
on the 4th and 5th. with but slight in
Jury in states to the westward. The
bulk of the crop in Missouri and and
Kansas and much of the early planted
in Nebraska and states of the Ohio vail
ley are now safe. In Iowa, where corn
