Matching out number of obsolete

recently acquitted of connection with
the Pollack diamond robbery, is be-
lieved to be at the bottom of the plan
and 1T is thought he is trying to get
Frank Shercliffe out of Iowa into Ok
lahoma that he may be extradited
into Colorado there to be railroaded
to his death on the scaffold. AS

LABOR WAR TO Be LONG.
TELEaRAPHERs' STRIKE rs FAB
FROM SETTLEMENT.
Both Men and Railroad oAacials Issue
Optimistic Statements Of
Conditions.

st. Paul, MINI, Aug. 8.--With both
sides claiming that victory Is certain
for them, in the big labor war between
the telegraphers Of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific rail
roads,. started it's second week
with no immediate prospect Of
settlement. So far there has been
no violence reported on the part Of the
men, and the railroads have had no
serious accidents In the running Of
trains. President Perham, of the
Telegraphers' union, said Monday:
Everything favors us in this fight
against the railroads. We have re-
ports from every division OF the en-.
tire system, and there is not q bad
piece Of news anywhere. Even some Of
the clerks are going out In sympathy
with us. I have a message from Bill.
ings, Mont, Monday, saying that 10
clerks In the Northern Pacific Office
walked out there because they could
not stand the methods and pay of the
company" General Manager Horn, of
the Northern Pacific, issued the follow
ing strike statement Monday:
"Eighty-five per cent. OF the agents
positions have been filed, and 70 per
gent. OF the telegraphers' posi-,
tions have been filed. Over the
entire east end OF the system condi.
tions are satisfactory, and businesses
is being handled promptly. In Mon.
tana trains are running on schedule.
Assistant General Superintendent B.
E. Palmer makes the following report:
I believe from indications Monday
that the strike is practically over.
There is a general change Of feeling
on the Pacific and Seattle division
and a very decided rbeak in the strik-
ers has followed Strike Chairman

Farm Values Lower.

Farm lands are assessed this year In
Iowa at $1.s6 per acre, cash valuation.
less than in 1903. Their average cash
valuation two years ago was $32. 10, and
this year it is $40.28. The executive
council is responsible for the reduction
in the valuation, having equalized
downward Id conformity with the
trend of the reports Of the assessors,
instead of upward. Opinions differ az
to the actual value Of Iowa land. The
railroad tax commissioners insisted be-
fore the council that a fair average
valuation was $50. Many competent
and fair-minded students of the prob
lem estimate the average value of Iowa
lands to be $50 an acre. The assess
ment fixed by the council was $40.23.
Livestock valuation fell off during the
past year about $4,000, 900, the loss be-
ing principally suffered by cattle. The
actual value of Iowa livestock now is
1857 052, $40, according to the assess
ment, or practically within $75, 00o, 900
Of the value of all OF the railroad prop
erty in the state. There was a falling
of of $7,50O,00 and a little more in
