BENA CASE
Interior Department Makes
Important Ruling in Bena
ToWnsite Case.

Brain er d Dispatch: Judge
! McClenahan is in receipt of a
letter stating that the secretary
of the interior has rendered his
decision in the famous Bena
townsite case. Bena and Rich
ard. it's rival town on the Great
Northern have been fighting
bitterly the validity of the town
sites, which are on an Indian
reservation, has been questioned.
The entry of Bena was made by
the district judge. In a case in
volying the Richards townsite
the commissioner of the general
land office ruled that such entry
was void as it should have been
made by the judge Of probate.
The Bena people appealed to
Secretary Hitchcock who re-.
versed the commissioner and de.
cided that the district Judge was
the proper official to make the
entry. While of value as guide
to future filings the decision has
little practical effect as the Bena
site was entered by the Judge of
probate after the Richards de-
ciSiOn.

HAUcEN AND elRDsALL LINE UP
Second Iowa Member to Declare for
Railroad Rate Revision.

MARSHALLTOWN. Iowa, Jan. Ii
Another Iowa congressman has ex-
expressed himself forcibly in favor of
the modification of the interstate COM
merce law. giving power to fix freight
rates, along the lines suggested by
President Roosevelt. In the current
issue of the Northwood Anchor, ap-
pears a signed letter from Congress-
man Haugen, of the fourth Iowa dis
trict, in which he outlines his views
and states that ne will soon introduce
a bill to put these views into effect.
The bill. he states, has been drafted
by an eminent lawyer of California
]. H. Call. 1t is intended to carry out
and give effect to the resolution
adopted by the interstate commerce
law convention held in st. Louis. 1t
not only contemplates giving the COM
mission power to fix rates, but will
make the commissions decision final,
except for a manifest error of law. It
will give the commissioners the same
power as is exercised by the Iowa
commission in this state.
Congressman Haugen says as mat
ters now stand the carriers have the
exclusive power to AK rates, and that
a few railroad men acting in concert
have been able to put rates to a point
where the roads now absorb as net
earnings half the total increase Of
the wealth of the country. and that
rates are being increased year by year

CORN CROP MOVES TO MARKET.
Winter Of Great Plenty In the Hawk
eye State.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Jan. 11.-Iowa
is being enriched every day by the
steady movement of corn from her
borders 1t is estimated by authori-
ties that no less than 1O0,000,00 BUSH
els of the $4,000, 900 bushel crop has
already been moved. The shipments
have been principally eastward. Rail-
ways out Of Des Moines last week
shipped four times as much corn as
the preceding week. One road alone,
the Milwaukee, handled 289 cars from
this point as against 80 the preceding
week
The average price received for this
corn since the harvest has been 80
cents a bushel. No less than $4,000
900 in cash has returned to the farmers
of the state from the crop of last
corn are now shipping, believing that
there is little prospect for a large adj
vance later in the spring.
There are still more than zoo, 900 900
bushels of corn in Iowa, and this
means that $60,00o,o00 more will come
into the state before another grain
gathering. It means much more than
that, for corn is doubled up by feeding
on thousands of farms. Throughout
the country there are still many farms
where the driveways of barns have
been boarded up to accommodate the
golden grain. Farmers of Iowa never
had a winter of greater plenty.
