FACING MEAT FAMINE.
Burlington Butchers Cut Off From
Their Kansas City Supples.

Burlington. June Huntington Is
actually facing a meat famine, espec-
tally of that class of product furnished
by outside packing companies. The
city is almost entirely supplied with
meat by the big packing houses of Ar
mour Cudahy and Swift at Kansas City
and Omaha. All of these plants havS
agencies at Burlington and all the meat
markets receive daily supplies from
these companies. The number of cars
shipped into the city from these plants
is large, and they all come in over the
Burlington route. When the floods stop
ped the through traffic the receipt OF
meat cars ceased. This was Friday.
Since then only part OF one car of meat
has arrived in the city. Cars from AR
mour. Swift and Cudahy due here Sun
day have not yet arrived and several
meat markets depending on this class
of goods have almost exhausted their
supply.
Fortunately for Burlington the local
butchers and those meat merchants
who do their own butcherng are able
TO make up in part at least. for the
shortage caused by the flood. How
long the shortage of packing house
supplies will last is not known but the
local merchants are hopeful that two
or three days at most will see the end
of the trouble

ELECTRIC LINE ASSESSMENT.
When They Go Beyond City Limits Elk

..ecutIve council 7dS Authority.
Des Moines, June Attorney Gen
eral Mullan yesterday delivered an
opinion at the request of the executive
council on the question of whether the
Boone and also the Cedar Rapids and
Marion electric lines We're assessable by
the executive council as interurbans,
and that they did not need to report
to the secretary of the executive coun-
ell for assessment purposes. Attor
ney General Mullan does not sustain
their contention. FIe holds the law is
clear that when an electric line does
not extend beyond the corporate limits
of a city 1t is assessable by the local
authorities alone. But when it extends
beyond the corporate limits, then 1t is
assessable by the ex ecutive council
as an interurban line, and must report
to the council. MIR. Mulan takes the
view that in assessing interurbans the
council must proceed as it would with
a railroad and consider gross earnings,
the value of terminals and whatever
facts have a bearing on the value of
the property.

The rainy season still continues and
the outlook for the farmers is becom-
ing somewhat gloomy. The corn in
the bottom lands is suffering seriously.
while on the uplands it is being washed
and more or less interfering with the
prospects of a crop. However, it is
making grass grow so fast and bringing
out the wheat and oats SO grandly that
possibly there is compensation enough
to overcome the delay in the corn crop.
Indications are that the rains are not
over and we will be favored with few
more showers.
