MAKING SURVEY.
3. G. o. Still At Work Looking For
Shorter Routes.
Very sincerely yours,

Shorter Routes.
Baltimore & Ohio surveying parties
are still in the field despite the an.
nouncement from Baltimore that all
had been recalled from their work.
Whether the announcement is a ruse
or not is not known, but the fact that
a survey is now being made for a line
south from Keyser, w. Va, to Har-
risonburg, Va, remains. This survey
is an echo of one of the notable rail.
road fights of many years ago. when
the Southern railway secured the line
from Strasburg Junction to Harrison.
burg, leaving a gap in the Baltimore
q Ohio's through line from Harpers
Ferry to Lexington, Va. Now the Bal
timore & Ohio has 50 miles of line
south from Harrisonburg to Lexing
ton and an operating arrangement
with the Southern over the gap. Some
thing better than the mere through
line from Lexington through Harrison
burg to Keyser is in view, however. fol
there are rich iron deposits in the
mountains south of Keyser, and in ad
dition vast timber lands to be develop
ed. The survey is along the soutt
branch of the Potomac river in Min
eral, Hampshire and Hardy counties
w. Va, and Rockingham county. Va
While the mountains have heretofor,
been thought to be an inaccessible bar
rier to any railroad being built. tn
surveyors have now found an excelIen

New Bridge for Sioux City

Sioux City, Sept. 30. A
double track union bridge across
the Missouri river to be used by
the Chicago 4 Northwestern,
Great Northern and Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad
companies will be built by a
Union Bridge company, to be a
subsidiary corporation of these
three roads, according to in
formation coming from railroad
headquarters in Chicago. Last
Friday orders were received by
the local officers of the Great
Northern and Burlington roads
for both roads to begin using
the Wander bridge on October
l. The two roads for a number
Of years have gained access to
the city over the Combination
bridge, which is owned by east
ern capitalists. Today a por-
ton of this order was rescinded
and for the time being the
Great Northern will continue to
use the old bridge.
The site of the proposed
union bridge is below the Sioux
City stock yards. Land for the
approaches on both the Iowa
and Nebraska sides has already
been purchased.

Weatller-Crop Bulletin

Des. Moines, Iowa, Sept. 80,
1907. The closing week in
September was abnormally cold,
with an excess of cloudiness.
The average daily temperature
was six to eight degrees below
the normal. The latter part of
the week was showery, and
copious rainfall was reported in
all districts except a portion of
the North Central. The moist
urc was generally benz fici.,'.
The most unfavorasle event
of the week was The untimely
frost which visit all parts of
the state on Wednesday morn
ing, causing material damage
to the immature portion of the
corn crop. All reports from
the three districts in the north
ern section call it a killing
frost, and deadly in its effects
on belated corn, which is a
variable quantity, ranging from
20 to 40 per cent. In the three
central districts, east to west,
it was a heavy frost, and killing
in exposed localities. In that
belt it was less destructive in
the west than in the central
and eastern counties, and the
percentage of unripe corn
ranges from 10 to 80 per cent.
In the southern section the cen
trail counties reported the low
est temperatures, and fully 80
per cent Of the corn crop was
fairly we'll matured.
Those who took warning and
began cutting early, saved their
corn and fodder in the best
condition. 1t was the climax
of an erratic season, which will
be noted in climatic records as
strlkingly exceptional in this
favored region.

At one minute after mid

At one minute after mid
night yesterday morning, rail-
way mail clerks throughout the
country began the weighing of
mails in obedience to a general
order of the postmaster general.
In former years in order to
arrive at an average, special
periods were set aside to de-
termine the amount of a certain
class of mail carried over GER
tain routes or in certain postal
sections of the United States.
The object for the thirty days
trial is to give the department
and congress reliable statistics
to determine the cost of hand
ling and transporting different
classes Of mail matter. For
this special thirty days weigh
ing test congress made an APP
preparation of S3O0,OOO.
Apples will be a scarce article
in this part of Iowa this cOmino.
winter, is the statement made
by we'll known fruit growers.
What few apples there will be
will command very high prices
and the people in general will
not lay in the usual supply for
the cold winter evenings. But
then apples will only be in line
with other food products, which
arc increasing in price by big
jumps. With the cost of all
materials needed in all kinds of
stores increasing, there will be
considerable howling this
winter. Of course we realize
the fact that all farm produce
is high and the farmers are
reaping good returns from
everything in their line, yet
this will not help the people in
the cities who have to buy
everything.

motives, a free ride to the point
of destination. This is for
bidden now, and a pleasant trip
across the continent will no
longer be allowed to an engineer
whose solicitude for the welfare
of the locomotive in its perili-

/: Sarah Ann Shields was borr

the time of her death, IS year;
of age. Miss Shields was mar
ried at an early age to Mr.. ia.
cob Arndt, who preceded her te
the great beyond about ID
years ago, having died here in
Missouri Valley, May IS, 1893
Mr.. and Mrs. Arndt and their
only child, Cyrus, came to Mis-
souri, Valley about 1870 and
Mrs. Arndt lived here continu-
ously until the requirement by
her son of the Kelley Institute
and territory of South Dakota,
necessitated the change of her
residence to Sioux Falls in
1897 where she has lived with
her son, ever since. The ut
most congeniality existed be-
tween this mother and her son;
so much SO, that it was always
a matter of comment by any
one who came within the house
hold. No one has ever been
found who ever heard one
ruff1ed word between them,
something extraordinary, and
especially so, when we consider
that Mrs. Arndt suffered a
stroke of partial paralysis about
twenty years ago and has
never been really we'll, since.
MIR. Arndt's tender devotion to
his mother, during all these
years, is truly something to
command the respect and COM
mendation of all and might
with much profit be emulated
by the youth Of this day, SO
many of whom, know naught
of the fifth commandment.
Mrs. Arndt was a woman of In
tuitive refinement, possessing a
truly angelic disposition, of
which, the writer has abundant
evidence.
Mrs. Arndt has not, of late
years mingled with the social
functions, but she had the true
spirit of hospitality, to which,
everyone who was privileged to
sit at her table, will attest, and
the writer has been an attentive
listener, with much pleasure
and profit when she would be
in a reminiscent mood. A
really good and excellent
woman has finished her fight
and her old neighbors and per-
sonal friends are greatly
grieved at her death, though it
wasn't unexpected. Her only
brother, S. B. Shields, was with
her at the end. Mr.. Arndt, ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Shields, also Mrs. Shields, a
sister of Mr.. Shields, and a few
friends will arrive in Missouri
Valley Saturday morning at
S:15, in a private car with Mrs.
A = The carriages will
leave the car at ten o'clock for

was a life long member. *#
