On the result of the weighing the
government will base its contract fol
the years 1904 to 1908. The United
States is divided into four districts foi
the purpose Of weighing these mails
the district in which Iowa is situated
lying east of the Missouri river ana
between Canada and the gulf. The
contracts for the handling of this mai
are at present held by the Northwest
ern and the Burlington with the Burl-
ington carrying little the most of it
1t is thought that the Milwaukee may
try for this as it has greatly decreased
its time between Chicago and Council
Bluffs and is now eight miles shorter
than any other road. 1t is now in con-
junction with the Union Pacific too
which may make big difference.
At Council Bluffs where the mail
is all transferred the following statis-
ties have been gathered by the Non
pareil and will give some indication
of the volume of mail which has pass
ed thru Fort Dodge While no accu-
rate figures are at present obtainable
the weighers not being allowed to give
these out, yet an average has been Sc
cured for each day. The number of
tons weighed daily has varied from fiji
ty to seventy five. 1t is estimated that
the average number of tons weighed
daily has been about sixty-five.
In the period of sixty-eight days
this would make total of APO tons,
or, S,S40,000 pounds of mail handled
at the Council Bluffs transfer station.
The amount of mail handled here
in n year, according to this average is
23.725 TONS or 47,45O,0G0 pounds. This
annual total is equalled or exceeded
by but few other cities in the entire
country.
The greatest single load of mail that
was handled at the transfer station
during the recent period of weighing
was one from the Burlington fast mail
train No. Is, which arrives here at 2:30
from Chicago. This load lacked but
lis pounds of making seventy tons.
The smallest cargo on any single train
was one consisting of but three pounds
on Wabash train from the south.
William Powers, chief mail clerk
at the transfer station said that the
reports will show a great increase in
the volume of mail compared with that
of the previous weighings. He did
not give any positive figures in his
estimate, but some time ago Mr.. Pow
ers stated that the increase would
probably be,a third heavier.
The volume of foreign mail which
has passed thru Council Bluffs has in
creased greatly In the past two years.
due to the close relation of the people
of this country with the orient. The
Philippine mail is especially large.

COMMISSIONERS WARES REPORT.

Two newspaper writer's In a recent
excursion drove thru the Soldiers Home
grounds at Marshalltown. Turning to
the other one, asked. when these old
men are gone what disposition of these
buildings viii be made by the state?'
The question appears to have been eff
fectiyely answered by late pension re-
port.
Pension Commissioner Wares special
report on applications Of Spanish
American war veterans for pensions
shows that more than 20 per cent of
the enlisted men have filed claims upon
the government. OF the Twentieth
Kansas, Fred Funston's regiment, IL
per cent are already on the roll of ap-
piicants. The entire number who have
flied claims is 65,436, $500 of these fall
ing under the head of widows and de-
pendents. OF these 1851 invalid PEN
sions and 3,160 widows and dependents
have been allowed, 1885 claims have
been rejected and 1920 are pending
There have already been paid to pen
sinners of the late war sS,275,000.
There seems no real o,casion for the
state of Iowa or the national govern
ment to dispose of the various soldiers
homes or dispense with the pension bu-
reau.
The rush for pensions by the partici-
pants of the i;panish-American war is
unprecedented in the annals of the bu-
reau In the seven years succeeding the
civil war not more than per cent of
the men who took part in Ats prosecu-
ton had applied for pensions. Proper
tionately three Spanish veterans have
filed claims in four years where one
civil war soldier asked governmental
aid in seven years. The discrepancy is
length and severity of the service each
rendered is taken into consideration.
Few are so unpatriotic or penurious
as to deny proper pension to a proper
applicant. A raid on the pension bu-
reau is, however, differant matter and
the flood of applications which has
overwhelmed the pension department
has much Of this appearance. 1t is,
however, a raid of pension attorneys,
not an attack in force hv the army of
the Spanish American war. The ap-
licited and In many have been filed only
after a campaign of solicitation of men
who, left to themselves. would have
scorned to ask the government for a
living they are abundantly able to earn.
