Great Western Handles Expensive
Shipments of Rice and Horses.

Shipments of Rice and Horses.
Special to Times Republican,
Fort Dodge, April 29.-Two of the
most expensive trains ever handled by
the Chicago Great Western lines thru
this city was this morning, when a
solid train load of rice was sent east,
consisting of thirty cars direct frolrl
Japan, and train load of ten cars O..
blooded trotting horses from the Kelly
farm Of California, on their way To
Louisville, KY, each horse valued at
$500.
The train load Of rice was trans"
ferred from the Union Pacific to the
Chicago Great Western to Omaha.
Thirty cars of rice figuring thirty tons
to the car, would make nine hundred
tons, and as rice is now seven cents
per pound during the Russian-Japar
war, the actual value of this train loa.l
would amount to $126,0O0
The horses sent from California by
the Kelley people are as every one
with knowledge of famous race horses
knows, the best in the United States.
They were transferred to the Chicago
Great Western from the B. & M, at
Council Bluffs, and will be handled by
the company to Chicago, and there
given to the Louisville g. Nashville
Railroad Company, which will handle
them to Louisville.
Figuring fifteen horses to the car
and a value of $500 each horse,
this trainload would amount to over
$4,000 Local freight may be at a
standstill thru this part of the state,
but the local companies are re-
ceiving more valuable shipments to
handle now than ever before.

There would be saving of twenty

From now on the managers of the

financing of the proposition, and 1T is

or three weeks representatives of sew

this city to examine the proposition.
There is also a little work to be done
in adding to the report a few things
which Mr.. Nicely did not attempt to
go into, and which will show an even
larger amount Of business at this point
than is indicated in the report.

Little Doubt That the 1906 G. A. Fl.

no doubt but that the meeting will

REPORT is FAVORABLE.
Expert Thinks Well of Proposed Grin.
nell lnterurban.

Grinnell, April 29-The long awaited
report Of the Arnold company's engi-
neering expert ]. c. Nicely, of Chicago,
on the proposed Grinnell-,Belle Plaine
interurban was received here Wednes-
day and considered at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Grinnell Interur-
ban Railway Company Thursday
night. The report is on the whole
satisfactory to the directors.
The following facts have been
CLEANED from Mr.. Neely's report: The
length of the proposed road from this
city to Belle PLANE would be approxi-
marely thirty miles to which would
have to be added two miles of siding
and turn-outs. 1t would run thru a
rich farming community with limited
railroad facilities. There are no seri-
GUS engineering difficulties, tho the
county is quite hilly in places.
The total population of townships adj
jacent to the proposed line is 1866 ac-
cording to recent canvass. The cities
show gain since the census of 1900
but many of the country districts show
considerable loss. which is perhaps
the most discouraging feature of the
report Grinnells population is fgur-
ed at $500, not including the college
with $50. The estimated tributary pop
ulation for the road is 1895. This
would give a population of 495 per
mile of road as against 531 in 1900.
This is somewhat small as 700 is US
lrally regarded as the minimum pop
ulation of such a road. The freight
traffic, however, is so large as to more
than balance this up.
The outgoing freight of townships
thru which the road would run, aver
agas 1886 car loads per square mile

members of the committee will then

no trouble In raising the fu Ids neces-
sary to guarantee the convention the
necessary expenses.
The local G. a. II. men have already
received n number of favorable res
ponscs. Marshalltown, Log IN, Scran-

OF the board of supervis ors. The

will be in favor of the Plan, They
have the matter under Amusement at

their meeting May 1. Without the
sanction of the supervisors the paving
can not be done this year.

GRINNELL WINS DEBATE.
Students of the State College at Ames
Are Worsted.


Ames, April 29.-By a vote of to
1 of the judges the representatives
of Iowa College at Grinnell were
awarded the decision over those from
the Iowa State College in the debate
between teams representing the Two
institutions here last evening.
The debate was interesting and was
attended by a large and enthusiastic
audience, including a small delegation
of visitors from Grinnell.
The question was stated as follows:
"Resolved, That in the government of
large cities in the United States the
administrative and executive powers
should be vested in the mayor. The
comptroller and treasurer are indepen-
dent officers"
The Iowa college speakers supported
the affirmative, their most brilliant
speaker being w. E. Paul. who gave
the closing rebuttal B. x. Bliss, who
performed like office for the negative,
was easily the star for Anes.
Grinnell won the debate largely on
her contention that separate power
was a fundamental issue in city gov
eminent; a point on which Ames did
not meet her, the Ames debaters hold
ing that the question was not funda-
mental. Grinnell also claimed that the
Ames debaters must suggest an ade-
quate substitute for the system which
they supported before they could prove
their side of the question.
The judges were Rev. A. G. Craig, Of
Ottumwa, Will H. Davidson of the
Burlington Hawkeye, and Judge j. H.
Richard, of Webster City. Superinten-
dent of Schools j. ]. Mcconnell of Ce-
dar Rapids, presided.

Few Perfect Specimens.
Editor Times Republican:
Ames April 29.-I notice Mr.. AID
rich's request for buffalo bones from
Iowa to be placed in the state museum.
If the stories Of old settlers are cor
rect, these must have been plentiful
at one time.
Last spring while spending very
pleasant half day with the Messrs.
Williams of Grand Meadow farm, near
Postville, Mr.. +. M. Williams was kind
enough to show me two buffalo skulls
that had been removed from a peat
bed that went thru their farm in the
northern part of Clayton county. These
skulls We're In an excellent state of
preservation. They were buried some
distance below the surface of the
ground, and had been in this peat bed
for great many years, perhaps a
hundred or more. 1t is not likely that
buffalo roamed in any part Of north
eastern or central Iowa since the early
settlements.

noticeable feature is that all of the
ground that in past few years has been
let go back on account of being too
wet is being made ready for crop this
