NORTH AND SOUTH yRoAp.
Line Win Probably Be sytlt In Near
Future Unless CompIicaMons Arise

Burlington, June 8.-The final sur
yey Tor the Muscatine North and South
line from ,Elrick Junction to Burling-
ton is rapidly approaching completion.
Engineer Mcdonald and his crew are
now but short distance north of the
city, and expect to terminate their
labors by the end of the week.
The line will probably be built in
the near future on the route now be-
ing laid out, unless unforeseen events
interfere. And there are many slips
between a survey and the arrival and
departure Of trains.
. Som ething that may be belong in
this category, came to light yesterday.
The engineer and his men have driven
fine oaken stakes in the fields to mark
out the proposed line. A number of
these stakes were set in meadows
which are to be invaded by the hay
makers today. The owners of several
OF these meadows called on Major Hol-
steen yesterday to get his opinion.
AS secretary of the Commercial Elk
change and as public-spirited citizen,
he favors the new route and will do
anything in his power to help it along.
But he was consulted by the respective
land owners as their attorney. The
question arose, suppose a reaper
strikes one of those stakes and breJks
a sickle or some other part of the ma.
chinery, who will be good for the dam.
age. The major believes in keeping
on the safe side and advised his clients
to pull up the stakes. And when the
construction gang strikes that portion
of the line, they will be up in the air
SO to speak, and the line may wander
off in any old direction instead OF
coming direct to the best city in Iowa

GREAT NEW GAME PRESERVE.

Quebec, June S.-American sports
men will be interested in the recent
action of the Quebec government in
setting apart a great fish and game
preserve in the Gaspe peninsula. 1t oc-
cupies the entire central part of this
peninsula, and contains a million and
half acres.
OF the whole of that large tract of
country included between the Bale des
Chaleurs and the Gulf of ST. Lawrence,
scarcely anything is known beyond a
few miles from the shore. The settle
ments are all by the waterside and the
inhabitants are almost wholly in the
fishing industry.
The interior is without either roads
or settlements. 1t is about to be opened
up, however, by railway, and this fact
has aroused the government to the ne
cessity of taking steps to prevent the
destruction of the forests. We're these
to disappear it would mean the ruin
and destruction of most of the remain
ing salmon rivers of the province of
Quebec on the south shore of the st.
Lawrence. AS a matter of fact, be-
tween a dozen or twenty of these riv-
ers take their rise from the high lands
of the new preserve, and many of, these
streams are fished, and often owned
as well. by American anglers.
The surveyors who pushed their way
through this country for the proposed
railway describe it as simply alive
with large game, moose being so abun.

Ing all the game they could use for
food. Caribou and red deer are also
numerous, while the headwaters and
smaller tributaries of the salmon riv-
ers were swarming with speckled
trout.
This sportsman's paradise, while be.
ing carefully preserved for future gen
erations is not to be by any means
closed to present day hunters or
anglers. But nobody will be permitted
to fish or shoot within its borders,
whether native or visitor, without a

a small charge; and at the some time

It will probably be some time before
the mountains of the interior of this
peninsula, but in the meantime the fish
and game districts of the interior may
be reached by following the courses OF
the rivers from the coast to the heart
of the country, by canoe in summer
and by snowshoe in winter.

ANSWERS THE QUO WARRANTo.
South Amana Society Says That Com

y
Marengo, June 8.-An answer to the
quo warranto proceedings filed against
the Amana society was filed yesterday
afternoon in the district court. The
answer denies that values have in
creased to a large figure. The society
admits that it is engaged in various
industrial pursuits but holds that
these are absolutely essential to the
prosperity of the organization. A de-
NAL is entered to the allegation that
the profits are enormous and it is said
that an organization would be in nom
conformity with the laws Of the
church. The business, it is held, is an
essential factor in the church. The
answer states further that the society
must remove from Iowa if not pro-
tected.
