Interurban Company Consider
ing Construction of the Des
Moines-Eldora Line
ROUTE WHICH WOULD BE TAKEN
Right of Way Already Secured as Far
as Ankeny = Officials Give Assur-
ance That Limo Would Not Interfere
With New One to tho West, Into Dali
las County.

Des Moines. Dec. 13-President III.
II. Polk, of the Interurban Railway
Company said yesterday that the COM
pany was considering the construction
Of the Des Moines- Eldora line, which
was partly planned some time ago. 1t
is probable that portion Of the line
at least may be built next summer.
The line would go north from the
Flint Valley junction to Ankeny, thence
to Cambridge, Nevada, McCallsburg,
Garden City, Radcliffe, Sherman ana
Eldora. 1t would practically parallel
the Des Moines. Iowa Falls & North
ern. which line 1t would cross at Rad
cliffe.
The company has already secured the
right Of way as far as Ankeny, which
was secured some time ago when the
new road was first considered. Fur
Their right Of way has been promised.
Judge Porter Of Eldora and other busi-
ness men of that city are interested in
securing the line for that section and
the company is assured of hearty sup
port all along the line. A further eff
fort for right Of way will probably be
made within a short time.
The road would leave the city over
the Belt Line bridge as will also the
new line now being constructed to the
west. 1t would follow the Flint VAL
ley line to the north, however, where
the proposed Abel line branches to the
~S,A1 80 NI1 tall r6o n
Flint Valley junction where the inter-
urban freight tracks turns to the east
the Ankeny line will go north. 1t will
follow q northeasterly course from
Ankeny The right of way was planned
some time ago. 1t leads thru a rich
country, well improved and save Tor
the Iowa Falls line uncrossed by north
and south roads.
The new line will in no way inter-
fere with the new line to the west into
Dallas county, according to the Des
Moines officials. The construction OF
both roads would be pushed at the
same time.
It is now practically assured that
the line thru Dallas county will have
two spurs, branching off at MISSIONER.

Granger, Woodward and probably on

is now practically finished. On the
east side OF the new bridge, track will
soon be laid, beginning at the Flint
Valley line. The splendid weather of
the fall has enabled the contractors to
complete the work without any bad
luck.
The company does not expect to let
further contracts for some time.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR CREW.
Rock Island Engine colIides With 30,
Car in Stuart Yards.

Stuart, Dec. 13.-The engine on
passenger train No. Al, struck a box
car in the east end of the yards yes
terday morning, tearing off one side Of
the cab. The engine crew, Engineer
Horace Irons and Fireman Thomas
Lindley, miraculously escaped with a
severe shaking UP. Irons was thrown
back on the coal in the tender, and
Lindley was thrown violently against
the tank. The blame for the accident

who last switched in that part of the
yards. The box car was left on a side
track, but one corner projected over

Burning Ship in a Storm.

After suffering the most narrowing ex::
perience from fire and storm that has
ever befalIen craft on the north Pacific
coast, the steamer Queen yesterday put
in at Port Townsend to report the loss OF
fourteen lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while off the mouth of the Columbia
river, the Queen caught FIRE in her after
saloon in some unexplained way The
fire rapidly gained headway and threat
ened soon to envelop the whole ship.
The heavy seas running meant death to
any sent away in the lifeboats.
The flames became more and more
threatening until, when it seemed a
choice of deaths, Capt. Cousins ordered
the lifeboats launched. They were man
ned by the crew and ordered to remain
close to the ship. Into these the women
aud children were placed. Hardly, how
ever, had the boats been cast loose than,
unable to weather the fierce waves, two
of them were capSized.
The passengers and those of the crew
who remained on board continued the
fight against the flames with increasing
success until at 7:40 a. m, the fire was
brought under control. When it was
thought the danger from fire was past,
Capt. Cousins recalled the liieboats, and
the occupants were taken abroad.
The Queen was headed for the mouth
of the Columbia river, and about 9
O'Clock the steamer Santa Monica was
sighted. The Queen signaled and asked
her to stand by until temporary repairs
could be made. When everything had
been made safe, the Queen continued on
to the mouth of the Columbia, only to
fud the bar was too rough to cross.
The distressed craft was pointed to-
ward Puget Sound, but bad fortune still
pursued, and when she rounded lCaPe
Flattery she encounted terrific electric
storm. With difficulty she weathered the
gale, reached Port Townsend without
further mishap, and proceeded to Seattle
where she arrived about nightfall.
