SOUTHEASTERN CORN.
lRnrlington Hawkeye.l

Sam Wilson. one OF the pioneers Of
southeastern Iowa, was in the city yess
terday. Referring TO the crops, he
said: eve have never had better crops
nor better corn prospects. The idea
that we must have intensely hot
weather to fairly cook corn is all
wrong. The pleasant cool weather.
that is good for the oats and grass
and everything else. must be good for
the corn and the harvest will prove
that. I believe that our corn crop WIN
be equal to the best we have ever had
here ana came here when there was
very little corn or anything else grown
in Des Moines county, that is very
little az compared with what we now
produce"

try. about three million to contribute
funds to support the packing house
strikers.
Chicago, Aug. lit seemed appar-
ent today that the labor leaders had
given UP all immediate hope Of peace
thru any action Of the packers, and
were making financial preparations for
a long struggle. 1t was said to be in-
probable that any attempt would be
made to extend the strike to unions
not already developed. One of the
chief reasons for this is that the un-
ions not already out are said to be no,
anxious to strike. but the reason the
strikers give is the more men on the

IT goes without saying that
with all Of the advancements made
since then an engineer had to have
more good horse sense than now. for
now everything is put in his hands.
while in Cap. Jim's day the whole
business was put on the engineer. or
nearly so. When the superintendent
sent him out about the only order he
gave the engineer was. Do the best
you know how I used to hear Can.
Jim tell about the times he had runs
on the old H. & st. j., the Horrible
& st. Jay road thsy used to call Il.
He said there was no inspirators to
force water into the boiler: no glass
gauges to tell whore you were.
The pumps were only operated
while the engine was in motion, and

and run your engine up and down ON

you ran out of fuel between woodinE
stations the farmers would generously
let you have a supply, to be repaid
on the return trip. With q good hot
fire in the box the fiamea would roar
out of the stack. There weren't the
precautions about sparks they use
now.
Farmers were friendly toward the
railroad, and didn't light on IL with
suit every time a little piece Of
meadow was burned The greatest
dread the engine driver had was the
character of the track ahead of him.
He never knew whether the last train
over it had smashe, 1t into the earth
Or not. When he came to one Of the
few places where he felt tolerably
safe he would let her slide, and the
little old engine would heave and
pitch like skiff in a squat. It was
worse than a spell of seasickness till
a man got used to II.

told me that the old Chickassv was
still living. My boy has graduated in
mechanics and he is an inventor, and
all of that. but, smart as he is, I'll
bet he couldn't run one of the old time
engines to save his sheepskin. Be-
tween ourselves, l wouldn't like to
