INTERURBAN MAY
PASS PERRY BY

Des Moines, Aug. 10.-The Inter-
Urban Railway company of Des
Moines is threatening to abandon it's
line from Woodward Junction to
Perry, and instead build north from
Woodward to Boone, via The Lodges.
Difficulty in securing right Of way
west of Woodward Junction is the
reason. The grading gang, which
had gone to Perry, has been recall
ed, and is working on this end of the
line.
A. P. Chamberlin, rlgnt OF way
agent for the company, stated yester-
day that unless the right of way
could be secured on terms more sat-
isfactory than those now offered with
in the next ten days, the company
would not build to Perry He said
the route to Boone had been surveyed
and that the possibilities for bust
ness were just as encouraging
through that territory as west to
Perry. The distance from Woodward
Junction to Perry and from Wood
ward north to Boone IL about the
same. In going to Boone the route
contemplated is directly through The
Lodges, which is rapidly growing in
favor with Des Moines people as an
outing place. 1t would be the plan
Of the company to still further popu-
larize this place and increase the
travel between Des Moines and The
Lodges.
The survey to Boone also contem-
plates taking in the loop abandoned
by the Northwestern line, which runs
southwest from Boone to Moingona.
and thence northwest to Ogden,
where it connects again with the
main line of the Northwestern. This
would open up good territority to
the Des Moines promoters.
According to Mr.. Chamberlin the
Dallas county farmers west from
Woodward Junction are asking ST.
500 for right of way for a half
mile through their properties, and
all of the land owners in this Sec
ton are holding out for this. This
is the highest price the company has
been asked, and it refuses to pay it.

Water sufficient to develop nearly
