IoWAN FEELS SURE HIS RATE

SENATE
NO AMENDMENT NEEDED
Eighth District Congressman Says
Court Review Provision Is Not Ne
cessary--Appanoose County Made
Part Of keokuk Division Of Southern
Iowa Judicial District.

Washington, d. c., April 5.-(Spe-
cia).-Congressman Hepburn said last
night that he believed the senate
would pass the house rate bill without
a court review amendment. He
declared that it is constitutional
and that there is no excuse
for opposition to the bill on that
score any longer. He considers the
bill, as 1t left the house, constitutional,
and thinks that there is nothing to be
gained by q court review amendment.
He thinks that after threshing over the
situation for some time, the senate
will finally pass an pnamended bill.
He thinks that some Of the amend
ments that are now being offered in
the senate are not being put forward
in good faith. their chief aim being to
make the bill unconstitutional. He has
not this criticism for the court review
amendment recently introduced by
Senator Long.
Allison VS.. Aldrich.
Eastern newspapers are making
much of the fact that the rate contest
In the senate has become a struggle
between n force led by Allison, and
another led by Aldrich. The Wash
ington Times last night said:
Senator Allison is to put his forty
years of experience, his prestige as
dean of the senate, his power as head
of it's most potent committee, his skill
as a manager Of legislation, his tact
10 handling men and situations and
the genuine affection Of his associates
for him against the skill and accom-
plishments of the senator from Rhode
Island, who is conceded to be the anti
administration leader. 1t is going to
be from this time forth a test of ALI
son mettle against that of Aldrich."
Change in judicial District.
In the house yesterday Representa-.
tive Hepburn called up and got passed
a bill transferring Appanoose county
from the Creston division of southern
Iowa judicial district to the Keokuk di
vision and changing the time Of the
spring term of court at Creston, SO as
not to conflict with the time at Keo
kuk. 1t is more convenient for Appa
moose county citizens to attend court
at Keokuk, and hence the change was
decided on. 1t is expected that the
senate will soon pass the bill.

OPENS UP 1000 ACRE COAL FIELr
Big Vein District In Marion Count,
Will BE Worked.

NZE
Des Moines, April 5.-Authoritatiye
announcement has been made of the
intention OF the Rock Island road to
aevelop this season the coal properties
~ a acquired in Marion county,
along English creek, and the work has
actually been entered upon. It will
be carried on under the direction of
superintendent Given of the Valley d.
vision.
This property comprises about four
thousand acres of coal lands in the
big vein district in the south part Of
Marion county and principally along
a small water course known as English
creek. The mineral rights were ac-
CURED after prospecting several years
ago by the White Breast Fuel COM
pany OF Illinois, Byron Sewers Of o.
kaloosa conducted the prospecting and
made the purchases. The entire field
on this creek has beer disposed Of to
the Rock Island and it will operate the
mines and use the output largely for
coaling it's Iowa lines, though it is
likely that some of the coal will of ne.
cessity go into the competitive mar
ket. The coal as prospected shows
from four to eight feet in thickness
at a depth of from 80 to a little over
100 feet. 1t will average over Eve
feet.
To reach the coal 1t will be neces.
sary to build a considerable extension
OF the Knoxville branch Of the Wash.
ipgton division, and this work is now
under way. Two steam shovels, a
number of dump crrs and a large
force Of laborers are employed on the
work and a number of teams will be
used later on. The extension to be
built this season will extend south and
west from Knoxville about eight miles.
The opening of the two shafts will be
undertaken this season and it is ex-
pected to commence coaling a portion
OF the Rock Island road from them
ts.is fall. The mines are to be equip
ped with electricity and the trolley
system will be used for conveying coal
to the cages through the principal en-.
tries.
FOR the present ct least the coal
will be hauled out to the valley divi-
sion at Oskaloosa and delivered north
and south from that point. In anoth-
er year it is possible, to save mileage
and reach additional fields, that the
old plan Of building the Knoxville
branch to Indianola will be resorted
to.

had a larger fee from the water works
company than from the city had we

That's not true, Wright promptly

RAILWAY & LIGHT co.
WILL SOON BEGIN SPRING
IMPROVEMENTS
A LINE ON MAIN STREET
New Track on Ward Street and Extern
sions to Court Hill and East End
Lines-Ties for South Side Improve
ments on Ground-Wil Make Loop
Of West ottumwa Route.

Material for the first division of the
extensive improvements to be made
by the Ottumwa Railway & Light Co.
this spring is already on the ground
and active work will begin within the
near future. Some Of the proposed
improvements to be made by the COM
pany Is the relaying Of the entire
Ward street line, new track, new ties
and ballast being used; the extension
of the Ncrth Court street line to the
OttumWa Country club property and
the construction of an entire new line
from Market street on Main to a point
at Mclean street or perhaps further
west. This line will proceed north on
some side street to join the
Second street line. The South Ottum-
wa improvements are certain. Ar
rangements for the extension Of the
Court Hill line are practically com
owners on the route of the Main street
line, asking them to waive their right
to the required sever feet necessary
for the laying of the track is now be-
ing circulated. This petition is being
literally signed. 1t is also the intention
of the company to extend its East End
line, but ~ yet nothing definite has
been done with reference to this.
The Ward Street Improvements.
Work will begin soon or the relay
ing Of heavy track on the Ward street
car limo. Ties for new work are al
ready on the ground. The steel to be
laid will be identical with that of the
Church street line. The line will be
well ballasted and put into first class
condition.
The Court Hill Extension.
The members of the Ottumwa Coun-
try CLUB and the residents in the vicin-
ity Of the club grounds will greet with
pleasure the possibility of an extern
sion of the Court Hill line to the golf
links. This improvement has been
practically decided upon. The extern
sion will be put into first class shape.
The. New Line.
The rapid increase in the business
of the Traction company makes 1t al
most imperative that better service be
given on the west end line. This can
be done if the proposed line on Main
street becomes a certainty. 1t is the
intention Of the company to look into
the proposition OF invading Main
street, and if the property owners on
that street will offer the inducements
asked for by the company, the line
will undoubtedly be constructed.
While it is still in an uncertain condi-
ton, it is the desire Of the company
to connect the West Second
street line with the Main street line
eithar at Mclean street OF some pOint
further west. If the line becomes a
reality, the company will run cars
around the new loop and thus offer
better facilities for the handling the
vast business of that branch. In the
summer time, during the baseball, pic
mic, park and boating season, the bust
ness Of the west end line is enormous.
Concerning the extension of the east
end line the officials of the company
prefer to remain silent.
