Caught a MuskaIonqe.

Special to Republican.
Cedar Falls. Iowa, July 14.-While
fishing in the Cedar river, c. S. Cum
minis, an insurance agent. landed an
eight pound muskalonge near the sec
ond slough, about one mile above the
city in the cold water near what is
known as the spring. The fish was
caught with a live minnow and the
cast was made for pike. This is the
largest and in fact the only fish of this
variety that has been taken from the
river for many years and the fishermen
believe that the high water of last year
and this year have made 1t possible for
these fish to come in from the Missis-
sippi and many anglers prophesy that
the old time sport will soon be known.
In the early days, this variety of fish
were as common In Iowa waters as they
now are in Minnesota streams.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC ouTLooI
Officials Expect to Have Line Open for
Both Freight and Passenger Traffic
by September Legal Dispute Be-
tween Union Pacific and Great West
ern Over the Right Of Way.

Special to Times publican.
Fort Dodge, July 1.-THE Great
Western is almost ready to run trains
over its Omaha extension. 1t was an
Great Western at Chicago, that train
service would be COMMENCED on the new
extension of the Fort Dodge line to
Council Bluffs by the middle of the
present month. From Fort Dodge a
double daily passenger train service to
Carlo will be put on at once. and this
will be extended towards Council Bluffs
as rapidly as the new track can be bal
lasted
1t is certain now that the expectation
of the Great Western officials that the
line will be open for both freight and
passenger traffic by September l is to
be realized. President Stickney has
for several months set this as the date
for the completion of the track laying
and other construction work necessary
to permit the rails to run to the Mis-
souri, river.
The present state of the construction
shows that the opening date Will be
earlier than had been counted upon as
the track laying has been compelled.
The thru trains from Chicago to
Omaha will be run over the Fort Dodge
line as soon as the litigation between
the Union Pacific and the Great West
ern in regard to right of way is set
tied.
1t is expected that this will be be-
fore many weeks. The legal dispute
does not interfere with the entrance to
Council Bluffs by the Great Western
nor it's occupation Of the passenger
station and freight yards in that city.
1t is confined to dispute over the
right of the new line to use the tracks
and grounds for a passage beyond the
Union Pacific transfer to the Missouri
river bridge. The passenger station of
the Great Western will be we'll located
in Council Bluffs, between the tracks of
the Burlington, Rock Island and st.
Paul roads, on the one side, and those
of the Illinois Central and Northwest

of the tracks to the Council Bluffs
