NEW DAKOTA LINE.
The Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha Making New Survey.


Sioux City, March 1.-THE Chicago,
ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail-
way Company has a party of engineers
surveying for second track between
Sioux City and LeMars and also run
ming lines toward Centerville, S. d.
All of the lines which have been run
between Sioux City and LeMars are
along the Illinois Centrals right-of-
way.
The lines toward Centerville leave
the Illinois Central a short distance
above Sioux City and then run off and
make connection with the old Center
vile survey which was made many
years ago.
Just why this Centerville survey is
being made by Omaha engineers and
not Northwestern engineers is not
been engaged upon this work for four
or five days
There are reports to the effect that
the Illinois Centrals line between
Sioux City and LeN1ars will be double
tracked this year, that the two tracks
will be used jointly by the Omaha and
Illinois Central and that the Illinois
Central will not renew it's lease with
the Union Terminal Railway Company
as a tenant OF the union passenger sta
ton when that lease expires next July.
but will become a tenant of the new
Northwestern station. 1t is also re-
ported that the Centerville line will be
built this year.

fully, and wish they, too, could stop
fmaking money and get out of the har-
ness that chafes and gals. They do not
feel strong enough to take life easy.
Great interests are in their keeping,
and their retirement may bring disas-
ter to others.
Mr.. Whitney's example throws out a
lifeline of hope He has demonstrated
that the ar-sighted man may devote
his genius TO getting rid of the burdens
of wealth as successfully as he has been
able to accumulate them.
This is the novel message his retire
ment at 90 sends to the startled ears of
Wall street:
Wealth is the power to buy freedom
for achieving ambitions far removed
from mere money getting. In the prime
of his life and the full flight of his
powers, the wealthy man becomes the
distributor, and no longer the active
producer. while in the ripened years he
may cultivate the tastes and achieve
ambitions which have been denied him
during the hard fought battle for sue
cess.
OF his own ambitions Mr.. Whitney
says:
Il have never wished to become ex-
tremely wealthy. nor have l any ambi-
tons politically. OF course, it is inn
possible for q man of many and large
affairs to drop them as he would gar
ment when he shall have reached a GER
tain age. l must now, as heretofore,
keep in touch with many interests of
which | shall never wholly be free my
self. But many years ago / began to
look forward to 60 years of age as a
time when | should have made money
enough to realize such ambitions as
attract me outside the world
of business and wealth production.
This is all that my so-called retire
ment means. Any man with energy
and good fortune ought to be able to
devote his time to really living after
the age of so. 1 have worked for and
won my freedom"

Will Be Present.
Proposition to Build Fine Y. NJ.
c. A. by Popular Subscrip.
tion..Other News.
Special to Times Republican.

/
Anes. March 17.-The students and
faculty of the Iowa State College Will
hold a mass meeting tomorrow to work
UP enthusiasm over the proposed new
| Christian Association building which
has been talked of for the last few
wears and which is one of the crying
needs of the institution. r. L. Cotton,
of Chicago, will be present and will
speak in the chapel on the needs OF
such building and the best method of
obtaining it as we'll as the different
ways of conducting it, Governor Cum
minis and j. G. Olmsted, of Des Moines,
will also speak to the large number OF
students who will no doubt be present,
as there will be no classes tomorrow
after o'clock.
The building talked Of if it material
Ives, will no doubt include the follow
ing features: A large reception hall
opening into leisure room. reading
ROOM small library and coat room Tor
men, parlor, den and assembly room for
women, general secretarys office
overlooking these rooms, also small
Kitchen. In addition to these rooms
there will be an assembly room seating
300 persons for mems meetings, smaller
rooms for Bible classes, study rooms,
offices for the college paper. athletic
council, etc. 1t is proposed to include
bowling alleys, baths. toilet rooms,
lunch and locker rooms for both men
and women. The rooms on the differ
ent floors will be so arranged that they
may be thrown together for social oc-
casions. To attempt to include a gym
nasium would be very expensive and is
not thought advisable at this time, as
the college will at no distant date erect
such building of it's own.
The cost of the erection of such
building commensurate with the other
buildings on the campus will probably
be about $4,000. The board of trustees
have already voted a building site on
the campus and have largely provided
for the maintenance by agreeing to fur
nish heat, lights and jaintor service
free.
1t is conservatively estimated by
those having the project in hand that
$4,000 can be secured on popular sub
scriptions in the college and communi-
ty. the larger part coming from stu
dents The remaining $1,000 or more
should come from alumni, friends and
large Individual gifts.

| Chicago, March 17.-Cold weather in
grain prices at the opening today. Some
parts of the southwest have had no
moisture in the last forty eight hours
and as far south as northern Kansas
the Thermometer registered 10 below ze-

crowd especially wanted July. other

gained nearly cent.
Shortly after the first hour prices be-

portunity to conduct a bear drive.
Plenty of stuff was thrown overheard

ceipts were still small. Feeding in the

Bullish sentiment in corn quickly
evaporated with the break in wheat,
and May slid off to 61&I, closing weak IS
down at 617s @62.
Oats We're higher in sympathy with
other grains. July was in good de-
mand and locals inclined to the buying
side. May was also higher. but trade
was on a small scale. May opened

Higher prices for hogs and the

Receipts at Four Great Markets.
Market Gossip.

Chicago, March IT The general
quality of hogs showed considerable
Improvement last week
Top grades of stockers and feeders
were about the only ones that were
wanted last week
Commission dealers advise shipping
cattle as soon as they are ready for
market, especially the fairly heavy
grades.
While the demand for medium-class
horses is fair there is little difference
between prices here and in the country
to make this class profitable to the
shipper.
Harry Booth, head hog buyer for the
:. ~ 5. house, says light hogs are SELL
ing to better advantage than the choice
heavy at present. He thinks this
change will be more pronounced next
week, should the warm weather con-
tinue.
The general quality of the offerings
last week was good. which usually in
d1cates more to follow" and with bet
ter roads are liable to have good run
any day and with it setback in price.
rs local packers are not very keen for
the hogs at the late advance. Under
present conditions. where hogs are
ready and can be marketed traders be-
ilefe IT is good policy to send them
along.
