and Albuquerque, n. NJ, and will be
used exclusively for its through bust
ness to and from California. The
Southern Kansas division and the
Pecos Valley line will be used as links
in this new route, which will traverse
the Panhandle of Texas, instead of by
way of La Junta. Colo, and down
through New Mexico, as heretofore.
The new line will not only save
about twenty-four hours time for pas
senger trains between Chicago and
San Francisco. but it will also effect
an enormous saving in the cost of OPP
Grafton. The heavy grades of the La
Junta route have long been the source
OF heavy cost.
The new route is through a portion
of Texas which is developing very
rapidly. Thousands OF new settlers
have gone into that region during the
past year, and the number is expected
to be vastly increased before the end
of 1907

by weight, and the American export

WEIGHING OF MAILS
WAS BEGUN TODAY
AN EVERY FOUR YEARS EVENT
TO FIND OUT AMOUNT GOVERN
MENT MUST PAY.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Chicago, Ill, Feb. 15.-The reweigh-
ing of the mails, which takes place
every four years to determine the
amounts to be paid by the government
to the railroads, was begun today In
the Sixth district and a portion of the
Seventh district. The Sixth district
comprises all of the territory east OF
the Missouri River up to line drawn
through Chicago and st. Louis.
Five hundred men are engaged In
the work of reweighing. The task
will occupy about 113 days, during
which time all of the mails which are
nut on and all which are taken of OF
all established routes will be careful
" weighed. Out Of the reweighing
period there will be total of ninety
working days, and the total tonnage
of each route for the entire reweigh-
ing period will be divided by ninety,
the working days, in order to deter
mine the average tonnage carried per
day
Upon this tonnage so determined
the pay is scaled and when fixed will
remain the rate which the railroads
shall receive until the mails are re-
weighed four years hence.
The railroad arrangements are con-
siderably exercised over the probable
ity of a decrease in the rate, owing to
the recent recommendation of the con-
gressional committee. The minimum
pay is for 200 pounds or less, for
which S42.75 is allowed at present for
carrying it one mile every day in the
year. The pay is on descending
scale as the average weight increases
until for 5000 pounds or more daily
$21.30 per ton is allowed.
BY the recommendation of the con-
gressional committee there will be a
per cent. decrease in the pay for
routes carrying from 5000 pounds
daily to $4,000 pounds, which would
reduce the pay on this kind Of route
from $21.37 to SIS. On routes carry
ing an average of between $4,000 and
$4,000 pounds there will be a decrease
of 10 per cent.
The proposed reductions in the rate
would decrease the revenue on a sim
gle railroad route between Chicago
and the Missouri River about 100000
annually. The total reduction on
some of the large railroad systems
would amount to several hundred
thousand dollars year. The railroad
officials declare that they can not
stand the reduction, and that If the
recommendation becomes law there
is bound to be corresponding reduc-
ton in the service.

Asher, who was one of the very earliest

Isaac Asher, known as Asher creek.
James H. Asher was native Of
Rush county, Indiana, where he was
born, Oct. 81, 1898. He moved to Des
Moines county, and thence to this
county in the latter '4o's. With his
brother William, he helped install the
first grist mill built in the county,
and then with his father, Isaac Asher,
settled onswhatsis now known as Asher
creek, in 1S47. He then came to where
Marshalltown now stands, when there
was not one white man in this part
OF the county. On April IL. 1862. he
was married to Mary. Rodgers, at Mar
ietta, and shortly afterwards moved to
Tama county. In 1854 Mr., Asher
moved to Albion. and there ran the first
steam saw mill in the county.

son county, Missouri, and purchased a
farm, where he has since made his

Duchess d Abrantes has characterized
her as a celebrated woman to the
world; to intimate friends a peculiar

one Of her most beneficial moods as

life was so closely connected with the
politics Of France, that it Is hardly
possible, the author tells us, not to

runs thru the web Of history like a

be a more urgent demand for farm
sheep. This means that better sheep
must be kept and they must have
better care, and the breeder must ca
ter to the demands of his nearest
or best market. We believe now
more than ever that the sheep bust
ness will never be overdone. The
army of mutton eaters is increasing
faster than the flocks are increasing.
Were this the only string to the bow
it would be worth catering to, but
there is another-wool, which has been
selling and is now selling at remun-
erative prices. Sheep are subject to
disease, as is almost any other AMI
NAL, but no disease with which we
have met is so hard to combat as
cholera in hogs. Most diseases OF
sheep yield to treatment, and many
can be averted by proper care. A
sheep never dies in debt to its owner.
1t will convert into mutton weeds and
coarse fodder which would otherwise
go to waste.

Pigs of different sizes should be

to crowd the smaller ones away from
the feed troughs, and many of the
smaller ones will be smothered ii they
