real cause for securing additional en-
gineers is kept secret. The company
hats enough engineers to handle its bus-

needed can be explained only by the
rumor that tho Union Pacific Is TO give
all OF It's business between Chicago ana

was correct that his amendment would

raised and assumed that the represen-
tatives would not resign, but he was
certain that the amendment, which be-
came q part Of the constitution by Its

ence over the statute Of apportionment
OF districts for legislative purposes.
The question may be raised In the

Lyon Osceola district, who has re-
moved to Pocahontas county. II ne
should resign--though that he will is
