R. J. Hall Makes a Flattering
Report on Road.

R. j. Hall, of the Oskaloosa 6,
Tama electric line, was in the city
yesterday after a tour of Poweshiek.
Mahaska and Marion counties and
reports that work will be commenced
on the construction the road by
September l. Special elections are
being arranged for Bussey and Ham
ilton in Marion county, and Monte
yuma and Barnes City in Poweshiek
county. Petitions have already been
properly filed for all the elections.
Protesting petitions have been cir
culated at Bussey, and fight is
looked for at that place. In the event
the tax is not voted at Bussey the
promoters of the road say that the
electric line will pass about three
miles east of that town, striking the
new mining camp of Durfee.
The survey crossed the Des Moines
near the Eveland bridge and runs
from that place in a northeasterly
direction to Beacon. Options for
three routes have been secured at
this place, and the company owns an
interurban franchise. The officers
of the Oskaloosa & Tama insist that
they will not ask for street railway
franchise here in Oskaloosa, The
line runs almost due northeast from
this point to Barnes City. The town
of Urick Is missed by mile, the road
running almost due north from
Montezuma to Malcolm, where the
main line OF the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific is crossed. The only town
between Malcolm and Tama is Sheri-
dan Center in Sheridan to 0nship.
North of Malcolm is a rich farming
country twenty two miles by thirty
five miles, which has never been
tapped by railway line.
Three per cent tax has been voted
at Buxton, Oskaloosa, Malcolm, Sher-
idan Center and Tama. The twenty
miles of track from Buxton to Oska-
loosa will be constructed this year,
and it is expected will be in opera
ton before snow flies.

OSKALOOSA & TAlA. A CENTRAL STRIKE.
Shop Men at Marshalltown Quit
Their Jobs.

Marshalltown, July 1.-The differ
ences which for several weeks have
existed between the machinists in the
Iowa Central shops here and the
management of the road reached q
crisis at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after.
noon, when about $50 men, including
all machinists, all helpers, all boiler
makers and helpers, and all the
blacksmiths' helpers walked out,
pending the decision sof the union as
to whether new proposition made
by the management at noon today
woull be accepted.
The demand of the machinists and
boiler makers is practically ten hours
pay for nine hours work. The help.
ers want an increase of 25 cents per
day. The new proposition was made
to the shopmen at a conference held
at noon at which General Superin-
tendent NJ, sweeney, Superintendent
j. A. Davis and Master Mechanic
Brook were present.
The nature of this proposition was
not divulged, but Mr. sweeney said ii
would better the condition of all the
men in the shop. He is further re
ported as stating that the men were
demanding the maximum wage, and
the Central was at this time in no
condition to grant their demands and
would not do go. The strikers held
secret meeting at 4 o'clock, and
while they will not state what action
was taken, it is believed they are
planning to continue the strike until
their demands are granted,
WOrkmen still out
Marshalltown, July 1.-At three
O'Clock this afternoon the Iowa Gen.
trail shopmen were still out with no
sign of an immediate settlement OF
the difficulties with the company.

Boone, Iowa, July Sixty Chicago
and Northwestern boiler makers in
connection with those of others struck
here this morning. The company
failed to give the sought for rail- .
from go cents per hour for ten hour
day to IS cents per hour for nine
hour day.
No Strike at Chicago
Chicago, July 1.-The crisis in the
freight handlers trouble was to have
been reached today. 1t was expected
that the strike order, which would
paralyze freight traffic in Chicago
and affect traffic throughout the
United States would be issued this
morning, but the railroads receded
at the last moment and asked for q
conference.

 The weight carried by the American sol dier in heavy order is disclosed by the Chief of Ordnance in his annual report, when he discusses the need of an in trenching tool It appears that one of our infantrymen carried an equipment of 76 pounds, Is 1-2 ounces, so that he marches not so much more lightly than his for eign brothers In the military service. His equipment, in its details, weighs these amounts: Undershirt, 1 pound 2 ounces; drawers, i pound socks, 3-4 ounces; blue shirt 1 pound ounces; trousers, pounds; shoes, 3 pounds ounces; leggtnGs, 1-2 ounces blouse. pounds ounces; cam paaEn hat, ounces; woven belt, pound 3 IA ounces; 200 cartridges, 13 pounds 8 ounces rife, 10 pounds l ounce; bayonet, pound: scabbard, Il l-2 ounces; blanket bag 2 pounds 1-2 ounces; overcoat, [ pounds; blanket, 5 pounds; shelter tent, ? pounds S-4 ounces; poncho, pounds 12 ounces; extra shoes. pounds ounces: extra drawers, 1 pound; extra socks, 3-4 ounces; towel, ounces; toilet articles. ounces; haversack and straps, 1 pound IA ounces; meat can, l6 ounces; knife, fork and spoon, ounces; days rations, pounds 1-4 ounces; canteen and strap, pound 1-4 ounces, and tin cup, 5 ounces. good deal of weight to pack even though one-sixth of 1t Is worn on the person; but that intrenching tool is needed and probably will have to be added to the burden.
