Ringgold County Assessors Advance
the Valuation of Land.

Mt Ayr, April 1.-THE first three
township assessors to return their
books to the County auditor certainly
did their part in putting UP real estate
values. The three Ringgold town
ships SO far reported show an increase
of SS01,S3S in farm land valuations over
the $1,746,456 of 1901, or an increase of
46 per cent. These are actual valu-
atoms before the exemptions are taken
out, and show that land has risen in
two years as follows: jefferson town
ship. from s6o2,135 to sS5e,452, an in
crease Of s24S.317, or Al per cent; value
per acre raised from $2S.07 to $685.;

A FIRE ON WHEELS.
Dubuque Has Strange Spectacle In the
Fire Line.

Dubuque, April 11.-Dubuque coun-
ty stands alone and apart from the
rest of the world in a great many re-
spects. and now it has the distinction
of being the only place on earth where
there was fire on wheels on the pub
lie highway. There have been such
apparently strange things as fires on
water and in ice houses, but to have a
disastrous one on wheels out on the roll
ling prairie is something that takes the
entire dough department. 1t occurred
on the rolling prairie, very appropri-
ate place for contlagration on wheels.
But it was not the rolling prairie that
was on fire; it was q load of hay in "a
wagon that was cremated, and the work
of destruction of both hay and wagon
was very successfully accomplished.

Grinnell, April Improvements at
Ward Field are rapidly being pushed
to completion. Several teams and
force of men are at work cindering the
track while others are rolling the Gin

lis expected with such weather that
the track will be in readiness and in
splendid shape for the dual meet
which occurs the 18th inst The
bleachers and grand stand will seat
a large number but few more will
be erected before the state high school
meet which attracts numberless visitors
and townspeople. The past two years
the crowd could hardly be accommo-
dated with sitting room, and with the
growth of the popularity of this event
new arrangements will be completed
for the comfort OF the crowd.
The baseball diamond is in better
shape than last year and with the can
didates in sight the team should bet
ter last years record. Daily practice
goes on steadily with q large number
of candidates trying for the open posi-
tons.
The league games to be played in
Grinnell this spring are: May l, with
Cornell; May 10. with Ames; and May
20 with the State University at Iowa

Des Moines April 11.-Attorney Cen
eral Mullan said yesterday the recent
decision against the Northern Securi-
ties Company by the United States cir
cult court of appeals would in no way
affect the Rock Island reorganization
of last summer. This was affected, 1T
will be recalled, by the formation OF
the Rock Island company of New Jer-
sey, which in turn was to own the stock
of the new Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific Company. which was incorporated
in this state with vast capital. The
reorganization was accompanied by a
bewildering complication of financing,
but Mr.. Mullan says the merger deci-
sion will in 10 way affect 1t so far as
he can see, as there was no element of
combination in restraint of trade or
merging of competing lines in the in
stance of the Rock Island. as was the
case in the action just decided by the
federal court.
