NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA.

the ordinance stated after the meeting
that the reason IL had been voted down
was because the Western lowe company
In the first place promised IL given an
ordinance TO only place a central station
In the city for the purpose Of securing
connection with the Independent COM
panies throughout this section OF the state
but had subsequently gone back on this
agreement and introduced an ordinance
granting them the privilege OF establish
Ing a local exchange and another telephone
system within the city limits, TO which the
business men as a rule we're opposed.
Mayor Morgan sprang a surprise on the
aldermen by presenting the name Of Judge
George II. Scott for trustee OF the public
library to all the vacancy caused BY the
resignation Of Rev. Father Smyth. So
greatly we're the aldermen taken by sur
prise that the announcement OF the mayor
was received with a silence that could al
most be felt. As no motion was made to
approve the appointment the mayor was
forced to ask the council what 1t wished
to do with his appointment. Alderman
casper replied that he believed the ap-
pointment rested with the council and sug-
gested that a ballot be taken on 1t. Finally
the matter was disposed Of by a motion
10 approve the appointment, which car
ried without further discussion.
The ordinance prohibiting gutter down
spouts on buildings In the business center
OF the city, which discharge water over
the sidewalks, was introduced and passed.
The ordinance amending the poll tax
ordinance so as TO make 1t permissible
for persons subject to the tax to Iiquidate
their Indebtedness by the payment Of $3.50
instead Of 81 IL paid at time of service of
notice by the collector, was laid on the
table. IT was explained that the ordinance
had been prepared too late to be effective
this year as a number Of persons had al
ready paid the tax at the old rate Of 50.
The Citizens Gas g. Electric company
was ordered to extend it's mains on Pierce
street In advance of the paving now being
laid. Manager Friedman said the order
would be complied with as soon as the
pipe arrived.
The opinion Of City Engineer Etnyre was
called for on a number OF matters but
he was not present and the aldermen de-
manded that he attend the meetings OF
the city council the same as the other city
of1cials did. The aldermen have made this
demand before, but the city engineer, be-
Ing an of1cer elected by the people and
not appointed by the city council. has not
paid much attention to the demand.

DEFEAT TELEPHONE ORDINANCE
Only Three Aldermen Vote for the
Measure on Final
Passage.

The ordinance granting a franchise for
an Independent telephone system to the
western Iowa Independent Telephone. Tel.
esraph q Terminal company was. contrary
to expectation, turned down by the cItv
council last night. The vote on the Anal
passage OF the measure was three ayes
and Ave NAYS, Aldermen Casper. LouTee
and Mcdonald voting for It and Aldermen
Fleming, Huber, Lovett, Olson and FINLEY
voting against Il.
Before being placed on its third read
ing the ordinance which had been recon-
mended by the committee OF the whole
hsd a number OF minor amendments tackled
onto It, Alderman Casper. in voting for
the passage Of the ordinance, explained
his vote by saying that while he believed
the company securing the franchise would
eventually sell II, he voted for II because
II had been before the council for over a
year and he believed the people wanted an
Independent system in the city. When
the vote was announced and the mayor had
announced that the ordinance had failed
TO pass Casper asked the members voting
against the measure why they had not an
nouneed their position beforehand and
saved all the time that had been spent IN
considering II.

was thought TO have been settled April l
when the plumbers walked out, has broken

plumber must take out a card, but
that he cannot under the protection of this
card do both plumbing and fitting. He
must conhne himself to either one or the
other. This has been resisted by Lavelle

THE SOUTH'S ADVANTAGE.

The Worlds Work for October con-
tains a striking article on THE South
MS a seaboard Gateway Of the West"
1t deals largely with the railroad sys-
tens of the South, shows how our South
ern roads have become parts of the
great Northern and Western systems,
how they have developed, how they have
through which they pass. and finally how
the grain trade has been diverted from
Northern to Southern ports Especial
mention Is made of the most recent deal
by which the seaboard Air Line becomes
part OF the Rock Island system
Speaking of the railroads It notes
that since 1891 the Southern Railway
has increased It's mileage from 1859 10
6,75o, and It's gross earnings from &c.,
$4,000 to 42,354,0Io. The Louisville and
creased Its mileage from 1878 to 1900,
and It's earnings from tlS,374, 900 to $780,
4i5,0oo. The Norfolk and Western, In
the same time. has gained in mileage
from 1897 TO l.TiG, and in earnings from
sIo,A40,t01 70 s2l 10000. The united
earnings Of these three systems have
been more than doubled In nine Years.
Mention is then made of the enormous
growth OF the iron and cotton millnt
industries. and finally 1t Is shown thai
the grain trade of Southern ports has
greatly Increased,
Recalling the statement of Mr.. cleye
land In 1883 that the grain trade Of New
York was being diverted 10 New Orleans
the Worlds Work says that during til,
twenty years since that time the whea
shipments OF New Orleans have in
creased from 2,7445sl bushels to 10,
e43.745 bushels year, and he cor
shipments from less than 100000 bushel
TO 12sa2,lso bushels. The increase a
Galveston has been in the same proper
ton. and 1t is shown that In 1909 tn
