AN AUDUBON INVENTOR
Mr.. A. A. Eddy Applies For Patent
on Wire Stretcher He Has
invented

We were very much interested Ia the
examination of wire stretcher
brought in the other day by Mir. A.
A. Eddy on which he has given
great deal OF time and study. And
he certainly has q good thing Ii Is
SO arranged that by using the fence
post as fulcrum the operator can
stretch the wire with one hand and
use the other for driving the staples.
IL is equally good for smooth and
barbed wire alike and can he used
much more rapidly than the ordinary
stretcher now upon the market. Then
he has an arrangement with which he
can stretch woven wire with great
evenness bringing the strain equally
upon all parts NJ the same time. MIR.
Eddy has applied for letters, patent
through Mr.. Orwig the well-known
patent attorney at Des Moines and
expects To receive them in IA short
time when he will have them manufac.
tured and placed on the market. Any
one In need OF u stretcher will do we'll
TO see and examine this new one by
Mr.. Eddy.

RAILROAD FARE.

"A number of reformers down at Des
Moines could hardly wait until the
officers of the Legislature had been
sworn in before they introduced their
little bills to reduce railroad fare To
2 cents a mile. At present the roads
are classified as A, b, and c, and the
fares are 3, 81, cents mile, the
higher rates being charged on the
least profitable lines. Instead of
making a two-cent fiat rate on all the
roads, reduction of one cent mile
will probably be made, putting the
rates at ,, 2i, and cents a mile. The
railroads claim that under the condi-
tions heretofore prevailing, with the
higher rates, the 2-cent fare to com
mercial men, the many cheap excur-
sions, including passes issued to some
people, their average fare has been
just about 2 cents mile. So that a
2-cent fare with passes and cheap ex-
cursions cut out the roads will proba-
bly, not be the loser. And in fact one
OF the stock arguments Of those who
favor the lower rate is that trave! will
be largely increased; If that be the
result reduction in the fare will be
to the advantage of the roads. Is il
possible that some of the reformers
are working in the interest of the
roads for the purpose Of increasing
their profits? What has been done in
other states is pretty we'll summed up
in the following article from Ridge
ways Magazine;
There has been d very general
agitation In the last six months all
over the country for the accomplish.
ment Of q dat passenger rate OF 2 cents
a mile on our railroads. Michigan
and Ohio have already placed this
limit on fares, Virginia has passed "a
2-cent rate bill, which is being contest
ed by the railroads and is now under
consideration of the state railroad
commission, and in New York the
2-cent rate has prevailed for SOM,
time. Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin have been struggling hard for the
passage of such laws. The last tariff
schedules, filed with the interstate
commerce commission, show that only
two railroads in the United States
give q 2-cent rate. These are the
New York Central and the West Shore.
The Boston and Albany, Fitchburg
and New York, New Haven and
Hartford quote q cents mile. The
other railroads maintain "a biUhap
mile charge. But it must be under.
stood that these are merely basic
rates and that rates between certain
points or rates for mileage book and
excursion tickets may be lower Such
is the case of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, which has recently reduced its
general average Of passenger rates
In fact, since the passage of the new
federal rate law railroads all over
the country have shown tendency to
lower their schedules.
The tendency toward lower fares is
thus clearly indicated.
