DES MONIES. Jan. 19.-CSpecial. III the
state Of Iowa should purchase a state range
for the national guard and hold all en-
campments there each year IL would be the
policy OF the inspectors Of small arms prac-
tice to have all the rife practice at the
state range. at the time Of the encamp-
ments. This is the earnest recommended
tion Of ColoneI w. r.. II. Morse OF Algona,
inspector of small arm practice. in his
report for TIE year, made to the adjutant
general today. He recommends that all
record-fring should be at the state range,
or IL there Is no state range, then il should
be under the direction OF an inspector at
the several ranges at stated times. This
is also in accordance with the views of the
adjutant general. The report on this year
shows a falling off, which the inspector at
tributes to the wet season and the fact that
most OF the ranges are on low ground.
However, when the commander Of a com
pany is an energetic riheman the members
catch the same spirit. Over so per cent,
or 1915, Of the entire guard force fired at
the 2O0-yard targets, a falling off Of PA
from last year, while 705 completed the
state course, an increase of ninety-fve.
The Fifty-sixth regiment, which stood first
for several years, dropped back to second
place and the Fifty-third went to the front
because Of the energy of Captain ]. G..
Cushing, assistant inspector on duty with
tina regiment. The Flfty-third was the
only regiment Of which every company sent
in a report. The companies making the
highest scores were: Dubuque, Captain
Thrift, 1885; Iowa City. Captain Howell,
92.9; Red Oak. Captain Logan, "a; Fairfield,
Captain Lucas, 7S.4; Mason City, Lieuten-
ant Helbig, 63.S. Captains Thrift and How
ell are commended for having every men,
Der engage in rife practice. The report
shows the following as to the standing Of
the regiments, with the total regimental
strength and the number completing the
state course:

TELEPHONE COMPANY REPLIES
Sets Out the Recognition of It's
Charter by the City of
Council Bluns.

Thu Nebraska Telephone company yester-
day fled its answer to the quo warranto
suit brought by County Attorney Killpack
in the name OF the state Of Iowa, attacking
the validity OF the company's franchise IN
this city and asking that II be declared null
and void. The answer is 1 general denial
OF the allegations contained in the county
attorneys petition and a setting forth OF
the facts to show that the franchise unde
which the company has operated since 1883
has been duly recognized ana valid and
binding by the city and state.
The answer sets forth that the company
has been operating a telephone exchange
aud system in the city prior TO and since
the passage Of the ordinance in October,
1888, granting IL the right to the use OF
the streets and alleys for It's poles and
wires. II further calls attention to the
fact that the company has in compliance
with one OF the provisions OF the ordinance
always given the city the use OF its poles
and other apparatus for the ire and police
alarm system OF the city and that IL has
always furnished free telephone service for
the city's public ofhces.
Attention is also called TO the fact thai
in February. 1900. the city passed an ordin-
ance creating the once OF city electrician
and defining his duties and providing the
manner and method OF construction main
tenance and operation OF electrical appli'
ances, etc, In conformity with the require
ments OF this ordinance the company statei
that It has repeatedly applied for and OBJ.

CONDUIT MATTER sIDETRAcKED
Effort TO Suspend Rules
Fails.

The city council failed last night to pass
the ordinance providing for the placing in
underground conduits all telephone wires
within a prescribed area. Alderman Olson,
whose vote had been counted on to pass
the measure, Joined forces with Aldermen
Casper and FINLEY and at the last moment
assisted in defeating the motion TO pass
the ordinance to its third reading under a
suspension Of the rules.
When the ordinance was brought up in
the form in which IL had been redrafted by
the city attorney, the judiciary committee
reported that the n ebraska Telephone COM
pany had filed its consent to the city using
it's conduits cor the wires Of the city's
police and Gre alarm systems. The motion
to pass the ordinance to its second read
ing under suspension Of tie rules was OPP
| posed by Alderman Casper. who made an
amendment to the effect that the measure
lay over until the proceedings commenced
in the district court by the county attor-
ney, attacking the validity of the COM
pany's franchise, be determined. Alderman
Mcdonald stated that he failed to see the
reason for delaying the passage Of the
ordinance, and IL Alderman Casper's sug-
gestion was followed it might be a year or
more before the suit in the district court
NONAh bV VI DSihb puN W II
vote Alderman Casper's amendment was
lost, he only having Aldermen Olson and
FINLEY to support him.
Alderman Olson then switched around and
voted for the passage of the measure to
it's second reading. but when it came to
the third reading he again voted with AL
dermen Casper and FINLEY.
An ordinance introduced on behalf of the
Great Western railroad, v~acating GARFIELD
avenue between Woodbury. avenue and the
sou'h line Of the railroads right-of-way
was passed. The vacation Of this portion
OF Garfield avenue does away with the me-
cessity of an overhead crossing at this
point, as the railroad in return donates
ground for a road from Garfield avenue
alongside Of its right-of-way and inter,
secting Woodbury. avenue at a point a little
further east.
An ordinance was introduced permittinp
the Stewart Bros. company to make a
driveway across this sidewalk on the west
side of South Eain street In front OF its
I proposed warehouse. so as to enable its
wagons to back up and load or unload at
the building. The measure was referred
to the committee of the whole.
Fl. II. Van Brunt and DR.. Charles Wood
bury appeared in person before the council
and objected to being assessed for the
sewer recently laid on Third street, on the
ground that 1t had not been placed deer
enough to permit them deriving any benefit
from 1t. The matter was referred to the
streets and alleys committee and city en-
gineer to report back at the next meeting
OF the city council.
The ordinance pledging the city to levy
annually $1,000 for the maintenance Of the
public library to meet the conditions on
which Mr.. Carnegie offered to donate So.
600 for a library building, was passed unani.

afternoon.

Real Estate Assessments.
State officials are becoming anxious about
the real estate assessments which are being
made in Iowa at the present time The
real estate is assessed only every other
year and when the railroad assessment
question was up last July the representa-
tiver of the railroads were able to make a
showing before the executive council TO the
effect that real estate in Iowa was paying
taxes on an assessment of less than 20 per
cent of it's selling value, as shown by the
records, instead of on the 25 per cent con-
templated by law. 1t was because of this
that the council failed to make the ex-
pected great increase in railroad assess
mcnts. Now the council desires that the
real estate assessment be brought up to
something like what 1t should be or the
council will be unable to increase railroad
assessments in the right way. Reports
from counties indicate that the assess
ments will be increased very materially be-
cause Of the higher prices prevailing.
