POWER HOUSE At FRASER.
SIcwness Of Materials Arrival Delays
Newton & Northwestern's Work.

SIcWne8S OF W aterlaIS ATTIVai OeIdys
Newton & Northwestern's Work.
Special TO Times Republican.
Fraser. July 23.-The excavations for
the cellar of the Newton & Northwest
ern power house at this place have
been completed and work on the foun-
dations has been started. The work is
progressing very satisfactorily and will
be pushed as the materials arrive. This
power house which will cost in the
neighborhood of $150000 will be one of
the largest in Iowa and the best OF
materials only are used in the con-
struction.
A gang of men is busily engaged in
working on the trestles and bridges
of the company in putting in the sup
ports for the trolley poles. This is
difficult work and requires a heavy
support.
Practically two miles of poles have
been set up east of the city by the
company. Holes have been dug for an
other mile. One thousand poles are SO
far in the construction yards here and
more material is arriving daily. How
ever this material is rather slow in
coming and is delaying the operations
of the workmen.
Almost every department Of the
company is in need of men especially
so where there is great deal of con-
struction in progress. If the material
was all on hand hundreds of men
could be given employment along the
entire line, but as it is the men in
charge are compelled to wait until
more material arrives.

Iowa Falls July 23-There are pos
sibilities of legal fight growing Out OF
the appraisement that will be MADE
here today of land for the right-of-waS
and depot grounds for the Des Moines
q St Paul road, which is the extern
sion of the Dss Moines, Iowa Falls &
Northern. The road wants several
acres of land in the eastern part OF the
city that belong to Ellsworth Il Jones.
The railroad and the owners could not
agree on a price, and condemnation
proceedings were started by the rail-
road company. and the sheriff has
summoned the appraisers to meet here
and pass on the value of the property
in question. An appeal to the district
court is probable. Unusual aspects axe
given the matter by the fact that one
side will ask the appraisers to pass on
the land as farm land unimproNed
while the other side will hold that the
ground Is plated. and SO commands
higher value as lots and streets. The
DAY that notice of condemnation pro-
ceedings was served the owners filed Il
plat with the city and asked the adop-
ton of an addition to the city known
as Central Addition. The council met
i'm special session that evening, and no
objections being raised and no one
appearing TO ask continuance of the
matter. the plat was accepted by a
unanimous vote. The following morn
ing the plat was filed with the re-
corder at the county seat. The counsel
for the railroad claims that condem-
nation proceedings were commenced
while the land was yet unplatted. and
will ask that it be so considered.
