May Interests Will Not Hinder
Clinton Davenport interurban,

New York, June 9.-One of the large
interurban bond issues to be under
written in the eastern markets in the
near future is that of the Iowa & Illi-
nois Railway company, which proposes
to construct an electric railway from
Davenport, Ia, to Clinton, Ia. both of
which towns are situated on the Mis-
sissippi river. The route of the pro-
posed road follows the Iowa bank of
the river as far as practicable. The
completion of the arrangements for the
construction and operation of this line
has been delayed on account of oppo-
sition on the part of another company
proposing to connect Davenport and
Clinton and to traverse the same ter
ritory The opposition on the part of
Cleveland, o., interests represented by
John e. May of that city, has been re-
moved during last week thru a confer
ence held here. BY the terms of the
agreement Mr.. May and those interest
ed. with him have Withdrawn their
proposition from the market The un-
Outstanding among interurban men
here is that MIR. May received portion
of the money he paid out in the pro-
motion of his project and agreed to re-
tire. The underwriting will be done
largely in Philadelphia, thru the office
of Pepper & Register. A. L. Register,
accompanied by New York and Phila-
delphia bankers is now in the west.

The rainfall for the week ending the

The oats crop is becoming quite
rank, and the same is measurably true
of wheat, barley and clover. Apples
and berries are quite promising.

GENERAL CROP SUMMARY.
The Situation in the Various Asricui-
tural States

The Situation in the Various Agricul-
tural States.
Washington, June 9.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions, issued today. follows:
Excessive rains in lower Missouri
the central Mississippi and Ohio val
legs, Tennessee, the Carolinas and
Georgia have interrupted farm work
and caused great damage to crops, es
pecially in the central Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys. The protracted
and probably unprecedented spring
drought in northern New England and
in eastern New York was broken last
night, light rains having fallen over
much of that area. Portions of the up
per lake region, central ana west guilt
states, North Dakota and Montana are
in need of rain. Highly favorable tenn
perature conditions prevailed in the
Rocky mountain states. On the Pacific
coast the week was very hot and dry
Much corn remains to be planted In
the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio val
leys, where the early planted is greatly
in need of cultivation, and much had
drowned. Planting was resumed in Me-
braska and Iowa during. the latter part
of the week, where under the most ia
vorable conditions the acreage wiligbe
reduced. Under more favorable condi-
tons planting in the middle Atlantic
states has been finished.
Rust in winter wheat is very gener-
ally reported from the Ohio, central
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys,
and in the two last named districts the
crop has sustained much damage from
flood. In the lake region, middle At
lantic states and over the northern part
eff the southern states Improvement is
generally noted.
Harvesting is progressing rapidly in
Texas and has begun in California,
where the early wheat promises good
yields.
Spring wheat continues in very
promising condition in the Dakotas and
generally in Minnesota. The outlook in
New York and Pennsylvania is poor, in
the Ohio valley generally improvement
Is indicated, and in the upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys, where not
damaged by flood. the crop is in a
1ourishing condition.

An Increase of Probably $780,

Valuation In Iowa
REALTY 80 PER CENT HIGHER
Means Big Increase in the States
Revenue for Next Year-Town Lots
Also Placed at Much Higher Fig
ure-some Interesting Statistics on
the Iowa Assessment.

Des Moines, June 9.-An increase of
| from two to three hGndred millions of
dollars in the valuation of real estate
in lowe. will be realized this year, if
counties that have thus far come into
the revenue department of the office of
Auditor of State Carroll. are an indi-
cation. This will mean an Increase of
from fifty to fifty-five millions in the
taxable value of real property in the
state. In addition there will be a great
increase in the valuation of personal
property.
In tae revenue department of the au-
ditor's office. in charge of Joseph f.
Wall, it is estimated the increase will
amount TO 80 per cent on real estate.
The Importance of this increase is far
reaching. 1t Will have g bearing on the
railroad assessment and it will mean
this year, to say nothing of the effects
on local taxation.
Even with this increase in the rea,
estate assessment, the council when it
comes to sit as board of review, will
have official data before it to show
that regardless Of the higher assess
ment, some of the counties have assess,
ed the real estate far too low. In such
cases, If the board of review lives up
to the letter of the law, it will have
to raise the assessments In some coun-
ties to still higher figure than they
were fixed this year by the assessors.
The first counties that sent in as
sessment abstracts to the revenue de-
partment were Osceola, Boone, Benton.
Cedar, Clay. Howard. Palo Alto, Pow
eshiek and Ringgold. The showing on
the assessment on lands for 1903 as

Totals s2O.13S.516 S22,242,0S0
Increase on lots 2,loo,oo4
Average per county j. 255,129
From this 1t may be computed that
the total increase in assessment on
lands and town lots in 1903 over 1901,
was s2I062,O9S, or an average increase
on real estate per county of SS,oO6,Ss9.
If sucn an increase is kept up thruou!
the state in the ninety nine counties
it is plain it would mean a total IN
crease on the real estate assessment OIL
nearly three hundred millions.
Since this table was computed, the
report from Montgomery county has
come in. The Montgomery county re-
port shows about an average increased
assessment. The abstract for 1913
shows the assessment on lands was
s13.593,352, and that on town iots was
s2.9T4,s52. The former assessment IN
that county made the valuation of lands
4sf7O2. and the valuation of lots
s2,Ss2,3as.
If the comparison is made between
the 1902 assessment and the 1903 as
sessment the results are about the
same.
The 1902 figues are nearly the same
as those for 1901, although some dlf-
serences; are shown, usually small be-
cause OF corrections. The following IS
the 1902 assessment on lands ana Town
