pleted track, all in Missouri,
Announcements do not give definite
Information for proposed extensions in
1903, but two appropriations for bet
:terments are announced, involving an
expenditure of s7,000,00O.
The Burlington road announces that
it will spend $6,000,O00 in completing
its double track from Red Oak to
Omaha and in reducing grades, taking
out curves, etc. This work will ne
cessitate the abandonment of 80 miles
of track between the points named
and the carrying on of some of the
heaviest work ever done in the state.
The Illinois Central announces that
lit will spend S1,00O,000 between Fort
Dodge and Waterloo. OF this amount
nearly half will be expended between
Fort Dodge and Webster City in
Strengthening curves and reducing
grades Most of the balance will be
used in building three miles of new
road near Cedar Falls to avoid a heavy
grade and to shorten the route

SEEN in OREGON.
keokuk County Resident Now in Ore
gon Writes to Courier.

The Courier is in receipt of a letter
from George l.. Eyestone, who now is
making tour of Oregon and the other
western states. Mr.. Eystone was a
short time ago resident of Martins
burg, and at present is located at
Oregon City, Ore. He states the con-
dition of the country. climate, and tells
of the beautiful building located there.
He also states that he is we'll pleased
with the country out there, but thinks
that there is no place like Iowa. The
following letter was received:
Editor Courfer: The last time
wrote you, was at the Dalles, the
capital Of Marco county. About a
month since came back to this old
historic city, one of the oldest in the
state, which dates back further than
the beautiful city of Portland, for it
was little village when Portland was
not dreamed of. 1t was here that the
first legislature met to enact the laws
of the state. The building still stands
where the law makers meet and in
this place the first church was erected.
1t was built by the Methodist people.
The church still stands on Seventh
street and is used as harness shop.
The first parsonage was built on the
above lot and the first apple tree
grown in this state, grew on this same
lot. The tree has a history and in
many hearts awakens a sentiment akin
to veneration. The history of this tree
has run contemporaneously with near
ly all the history of Methodism on the
Pacific coast. In the early forties the
seed from which it grew was planted
by Alvin F. Waller. Gustave Hines
took it from the hands of Waller when
it was less than one year old and set
it out on the parsonage lot, where 1t
has stood for over fifty-one years.
about one year ago this tree was
cut down to make room for another
building, part of the lot being sold
off. The tree. when cut down, had
no signs of decay at it's heart or dead
ness at the top. There are a number
of new building being torn down at
the present to make room for other
and more elegant structures. Notable
among them is the old Oregon City
hotel. / am getting to like the old
city and it's people very we'll, but not
as we'll as old Iowa, the best state and
people in the world. We are having
lovely winter weather, were it not for
the rain, as twenty seven degrees
above zero is the coolest we have had
so far. We were awfully bewildered
last week as we did not get the Court
er, for it is like meeting an old friend
when it comes.
George L. Eyestone.'

GOOD YEAR FOR RAILROADS.

Twelve Months.

Twelve Months.
Official reports issued by railways
operating in Iowa on new mileage,
new rolling stock, etc., indicate the
year was a prosperous one for them
In 1902 ITO 40 miles of new track
were actually laid and put in opera
ton within the state. The figures do
not include mileage under construc-
ton and not completed, which amounts
to nearly twice as much. For exam
pie, the Chicago Great Western is Gre
dited with. only sixty miles of new
track This was laid on it's Fort
Dodge division and includes track
laid out of Fort Dodge in the direction
lof Omaha, between Mason City and
Manley Junction. The 1870 miles I'M
der construction between Moorland
and Council Bluffs and the 1872 be-
tween Somers and Sioux City, the %
between Wayerly and Oelwein are not

ally placed in operation. 1t has work

Relations With Turkey.


Early in July, having received in
telligence, which happily turned out to
be erroneous, of the assassination of
our vice-consul at Beirut, dispatched
a small squadron to that port for such
service as might be found necessary
on arrival. Although the attempt on
the life Of om vice-consul had not been
successful, yet the outrage was symp-
tomato of a state Of excitement and
disorder which demand immediate at
tention. The arrival of the vessels had
the happiest result. A feeling Of secu-
rity at once took the place Of the for
mer alarm and disquiet; our officers
were cordially welcomed by the con-
sular body and the leading merchants,
and ordinary business resumed its ac-
tivity. The Government of the Sultan
gave a considerate hearing to the rep
reservations of our minister; the Off
cial who was regarded as responsible
for tie disturbed condition Of affairs
was removed. Our relations with the
Turkish Government remain friendly;
our claims founded on inequitable
treatment of some of our schools and
missions appear to be in process Of
amicable adjustment.
