Boards Consider Ditch Matter

The supervisors of Harrison
and Pottawattamie counties
met in joint session yest erday
as a drainage board. The re-
port of Seth Dean, engineer in
charge of construction, showed
that work OH the Allen creek
Willow creek and Boyer cutoff
bitches was progressing salts
factorilY. The time for the
completion of the Allen creek
bitches were extended to Au-
gust 20, to which time the
board adjourned.
Regarding the claim of w.
A. Smith, the original contract
or, for work done on the Boyer
cutoff ditch, the report of the
special committee was to the
effect that work done by Smith,
according to the estimate of the
late Thomas Tostevin, former
engineer in charge, amounted
to 81, ,053.80, of which he had
been paid 843.04, leaving a bal
ance of S21O.76. The county
auditor was directed to tender
Smith a warrant for the bal
ance of S21O.76 in settlement
of his claim of $4,000. Coun-

Notice to Users Of Mail

Washington, July The
postal laws prohibit placing
written messages in merchan-
disc packages or letters on
which less than 2 cents an
ounce has been paid and the
provisions of this statute admit
of no waiver Of the penalty
provided. During the last fiscal
year postoffice inspectors col
lected S59,O65 for such viola
tions. In thousands of cases a
short note or memorandum was
placed inside a package of
merchandise on which postage
was paid at 1 cent an ounce,
while the written matter made
it necessary that 2 cents an
ounce should have been paid.
Finding that in a great num-
Der of cases the offense was
due to ignorance of the law
and thai; the collection Of the
fine usually works a hardship
to the very poor, especially
where written messages are
made in returning coupons,
tags and certificates for prem
iu,ns, Postmaster General Mey-
er has directed that proper no
tices be placed in postoffices
warning the public against the
practice.

The Iowa railroad commits
sion today issued an order
raising the minimum on cars
from $4,000 to 10000 pounds.
For years the minimum weight
on carload shipments has been
placed at $4,000. The size of
freight cars has, however,
steadily increased till they are
now manufactured to contain
as high as $4,000 pounds. For
years the railroads have been
petitioning the board to in
crease the minimum. The
companies asked that the in
crease be such as to be a per
cent of the capacity of the car.
The board refused to ascede to
that because the size of the
cars are beyond its control and
it desired to keep the minimum
within its control.

Des Moines Capital: Through
the Capital, Chief Jones has
succeeded in locating the rela-

drowned sometime ago in the
Missouri river near Tabor.
Within a few minutes after the
Capital had printed the letter
received by Chief Sones, Satur-
day, Mrs. C. Matherly, 1851

that the drowned man was her
brother, who resided in Idaho.
He was on his way to visit his

Chicago, July %. A gigantic
movement to establish a nine
hour work day for union ma
chinists employed by railroads
throughout the northwest,
which is expected to include
blacksmiths and boilermakers,
and embrace a total of 100000
men, has been launched.
The plan is being backed
principally by the Northwest
Consolidated district of the
Machinists' union, although the
blacksmiths and boilermakers,
who have powerful organiza-
tions, are looked to for active
cooperation on behalf of their
respective crafts. The North
west Consolidated district en-
braces all railroads north of
the Union Pacific lines and
west of Chicago. A demand
will be made upon them to
make the nine-hour day effect
I've September 1. For this
purpose officials of the Machin-
lists union are now preparing
formal notices to be served up
on the railroad companies at
the beginning of next month,
thus giving them thirty days
in which to consider the plan.
Among the railroads to be
asked to establish the nine
hour day are the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific, Cana
dian Pacific, Canadion North
ern, 500 line, Minneapolis & st.
Louis, Iowa Central, Wisconsin

A Wall From Canada.
washington Post y

Many of the western farmers
who sold their high-priced lands
and moved to Canada, where
they could get land just as fer
tile for a tenth of the price for
which they sold, have been
heard from in terms highly eu-
logistic of their new homes.
But one of these new residents
of the Dominion at any rate is
extremely tired and makes q
pitiful complaint. He says that
frosts begin in August and that
beginning in November the ther-
mometer stands at from Is to
SO degrees below zero, with
snow over three feet on the lev
el, while it drifts until
it covers houses, barns and ever
haystacks. The snow drifted
seven foot deep around his
house last winter and remained
frozen hard until May. He had
to cut steps to his barn and was
a prisoner in his house all win
ter. Worst of all, he reports
that they had on an average
one blizzard a week for Novem-
ber 16 to April 5, while in sum-
mer they suffered from the hot
winds. For weeks in winter
the trains were stopped and
there were no mails or news of
any kind from the outside world
Many people were without coal
during the worst weather and
some We're even without wood
and We're compelled to burn
straw and fence posts. Those
were hard lines, but some win
ters similar conditions have
been experienced in northern
Maine. But farmers in Maine
thus situated manage to make
good a living and educate their
Children. They could not easily
be induced to move to a war
mer climate.
This tells the whole story.-
Men become captivated by the
rane.St of cheap lands, and not
sto TO consider the advan-
tages of good climate, soil and
markets with other conditions,
are induced to sell their beauti-
full Iowa homes to seek the
cheap lands of Canada, leaving
their native land, to live under
King Edward amid the SHOWS
and blizzads of the north land,
and undergo all the privations
Of that rigorous climate.
The man who desires to farm
and owns a good farm in Iowa,
is making the mistake of his
life when he sells it to 20 to
anywhere. Here we have reas-
enable winter weather, produc-
tive soil, good water, pure air,
good health, and the Iowa far
mer is certainly foolish to ex-
change a good farm here for a
home in the frigid cheap land
of Canada. No other state
possesses so many advantages
for the farmer is Iowa. Stick
to your Iowa farm.
The fine weather of the past
few days has been a great boon
to the farmers who have grain
to cut, and they are not losing
any time getting it out of the
way. The oat crop will not be
first.class this season.

TO Extend Westward

TO Extend Westward
Dsadwood, S. D., July IL
1t is announced here from an
authoritative source that the
Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way will within a few days
commence the extension of its
line which at present has it's
westward terminus in Belle
Fourche, s. d., from that point
on to the Pacific coast.
From the same source it is.
said that the first contract to
be let will be for a stretch Of
grading 100 miles almost due
north from Belle Fourche. The
grading will commence at Belle
Fourche and be continued
northWard as fast as the con-
tractors are able to carry it. 1t
is assured by the continuance
| of the Northwestern line west
from Belle Fourche that the
Pierre Rapid City line will be-
come the main line Oh the
transcontinental route. On this
| point there has been much spec
ulation, and in some railroad
quarters it was believed the
Casper route would become the
main line.
During the recent food here
President Marvin Hughitt, OF
the Northwestern, made a hur-
ried trip to Belle Fcurche to
oversee some of the PLANS for
The starting of the coast line.
This fact was not known at the
time as President IIughitt's
speeial got only as far as s,tur-
gis, where the washout effect
ually prevented him getting to
Belle Fourche, and the trip
was postponed until later. He
now is expected in Belle
Fourche within a few days.

The new twenty eight hour
stock law is already causing
troub'e for the railroads. The
Great Northern, the Illinois
Central, the Union Pacific and
the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway companies are made
defendants in suits brought
Yesterday in the federal court
in Council Bluffs in the name Of
the United States of America,
claiming of each of the four
railroads $500 as penalty for
holding live stock in shipment
over their lines on cars more
than twenty-eight hours with
out being unloaded for feed or
water. Attorney General Chas.
]. Boneparte and Marcellus l..
Temple, United States attorney
for the southern district of
Iowa appear for the United
States in the four cases. 1t
was claimed that the stock in
question was kept on the train
from thirty to thirty-one hours
without rest or feed, hence the
suits. The outcome of these
suits will be awaited with in
terest by the stockmen all over
the country.
