Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines, June 9.-Since the an
nual meeting Of the stockholders of the
Des Moines & Fort Dodge railroad in
this city nothing new has developed as
| to the future of that property, save as
there are increasing signs that the
Rock Island company has no eXpecta-
ton OF acquiring title now. 1t was
known positively two years ago by the
Rock Island management that control
of the stock had passed to others. "A
high official stated then that the Rock
Island would pay practically notnlns
for the stock, regarding the line as
worth but little more than the bonds
which are held by the Rock Island in
terests. 1t was also stated at that time
that IL necessary the Rock Island would
build a new road into the territory. For
some weeks survey has been going on
which parallels the road between valley
Junction and Perry. This is ostensibly
for an electric interurban out OF Des
Moines, and right of way is being Sc
cured for that purpose. 1t is now an
nounced that all the right OF way mas
been secured between the two stations
mentioned. 1t is also stated that In
stead of the survey continuing north
from Perry to Grand Junction 1t is de-
fiected west to Jefferson, which would
indicate that this might be the route
to Gowrie. While the promoters OF the
interurban, who have been working
very quietly, say that the survey is for
an interurban line, the right of way is
one that could be used for a railroad
quite as well, and the conviction pre-
walls all along the line that it is a pre-
liminary step on the part of the Rock
Island, and laying the foundation for
the building of a new route to connect
with the Gowrie- Sibley line in case It Is
found impossible to secure trackage
over the old Fort Dodge route. But the
Rock Island still has the $2.500,OOo of
bonds which stand as mortgage
against the Fort Dodge road, and these
will have to be disposed of by whatever
company takes the stock. Rock island
officials here make no concealment OF
the fact that they hope, If 1t Is the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road that gets
the old Fort Dodge. to make an ar
rangement by which the Rock Island
will run its trains to Gowrie from Des
Moines, but that if some other company
takes the Fort Dodge it is not expected
that any such lease can be effected. The
Rock Island people will know In time,
so that, If 1t is necessary, they can con-
struct their new line this year.

abode, became enamoured of her to
such an extent that when she inform
ed him that she was unencumbered as
to matrimonial alliances he at once
proposed to her and was accepted on
the spot.
His fianee then informed him that
she must have n trosseau to keep up
with her own set, and he promptly pro-
duced the sum of SLIGO and gave her
carte blanche. The lady evidently
found that s160 would not satisfy the

identity Is not positively known, but an
effort will be made to capture them.
