Eldora, April 26.-The Kings good
road train arrived in Eldora over the
Northwestern yesterday morning and
if ever a day was spent to good adj
vantage by the farmers living in this
vicinity, yesterday was the day. Mr..
King was assisted in both morning and
afternoon meetings by Henry Wallace,
Joe Trggs, and Mr.. Mcdonald, of
Ames. All four gentlemen were flu
ent and interesting speakers. Both
morning and afternoon meetings were
we'll attended, especially the one held
in the afternoon, when the auditorium
of the Wisner opera house was we'll
filled.
Mr.. King has pleasing manner and
impressed every one who heard him as
man who knew the needs OF the
Iowa roads and was capable of sup
plying remedy.
After the discourse was completed
Mr.. King gave an opportunity for all
present to enter into the discussion
and many awaited themselves OF the
opportunity.
The method used by Mr.. King is
the use Of what the terms a split
log drag" This is made by splitting
log in two parts and fastening these
parts by three cross bars. A chain
is then attached that draws the drag
at an angle of about 40 degrees. The
dragging of the roads Immediately
following every rain with this appli-
ance draws the earth to the center OF
the road and leaves the surface in an
oval shape. The drying of the road
after being put in this shape forms a
hard, smooth, oval surface that will
shed water and furnish road that
will come next to nothing short Of a
paved road.
After the exercises in the opera house
a practical demonstration was given OF
the workings of the drag. No one who
has heard Mr.. King and the gentle
men who are helping him or have
seen the demonstration Of the plan
which they advocate for the better
nent Of the roads cam say he has not
been benefited thereby.
Mr.. Kings plan is practical beyond a
doubt and the slight sacrifice Of time
ana expense IIdhSS IL dSllSeAAy Oil ~
dispensible continuance to every farmer
In Iowa.
The spring of the year is the time
when the farmer sees the best market
quotations for his stuff, but the great
majority of them are deprived of the
benefit of the high prices because ~
the impossible condition of the roads,
making it impossible to market his
stuff that he may receive tie greatest
returns.
When the Iowa farmer awakens to
the fact that he is handicapped by bad
roads more than in any other way, just
so soon will he appreciate the efforts
made by such men as King.

sessment made in 1902 was $51, 1907, $50
or an increase of over four millions.
The following year it jumped again to
$56,541,513. Last year it took another
jump of about the same amount.
The report of the state railroad
commissioners which has just been
issued for the year shows that there
has been an increase in the aggre-
gate gross earnings of the roads of
the state of a little over half a mil
lion while the expenses have increased
about two million, which makes de-
crease in the net earnings of about q
million and a half. The earnings of
road, however, have never been taken
as the entire basis of the assessment
of the roads by the council. There was
direct decrease Of about two millions
Of dollars in the gross earnings OF
the state in 1903 over the year be-
fore and an increase of nearly mil
lion in the expenses, making de-
crease in the net earnings of nearly
three million dollars, yet the executive
council increased the assessment by
about five million dollars. The pres
ent council has made the physical
condition of the roads as we'll as the
market value of the stock and all 9TH
err things having any bearing on the
matter a part of the investigation in
fixing the assessment. There is per-
feet harmonw in the council on the
matter and it is understood there will
be no direct or radical departures from
the custom of the past two years.

STEPS TAKEN TO MAKE THAT
AGAINST AMERICAN GOODS
MORE EFFECTIVE.

Shanghai, Aug. 30.-Chang Chen.
who has been ordered by the Picking
ministry of commerce to concert
measures to settle the boycott against
American goods, met Tuesday the
Chinese chamber of commerce and
principal piece goods dealers Of this
city and began by fining certain deal
ers 1000 taels altogether, for alleged
breaches OF the boycott. He then or
dered all TO sign an agreement to buy
no more American goods from foreign
merchants of any nationality.
Regarding goods contracted for be-
fore the boycott was started. he stated
his intention of opening an Office and
granting papers and stamping such
goods, thus permitting their sale In
the interior.
He also announced his intention OF
opening orficss In thirty-six principal
trade centers In China. where goods
so stamped will be passed This will
require an initial sum of 100000 taels,
which Shanghai dealers must pay,
thus averting impending financial ruin.
This means the creation of permanent
boycotting machinery available against
any branch Of any foreign trade In
China and the practical imposition OF
new taxation against all treaty tariffs.

President Makes Descent on Board the
Plunger.

Oyster Bay, l.. L., Aug. 26.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the afternoon
made descent In Long Island sound
on board the submarine torpedo boat
Plunger. He was aboard the vessel
about three hours. At one time the
little boat was submerged for fifty
minutes and in that time was put
through all of the submarine feats OF
which she is capable. The president
expressed his delight at the novel ex-
perience and said that he was i'm
nensely impressed with the boat and
with the manner In which she was
handled
The presidents intention not only TO
make personal inspection of the tiny
vessel, likely to prove so deadly In
naval warfare, but to make sub
marine descent In 1t was reached after
q conference with Lieutenant Nelson.
The Plunger's commander explained
to President Roosevelt the operations
of the boat and assured him that
trip on her and descent into the
depths of Long Island sound would be
as devoid Of danger as would be a
trip on New York subway express
train.
