PEBBLES TO SAVE MILLIONS
Ballast from Bed OF Mississippi VIII
he Used by the Illinois
Central.

Pebble ballast, secured from the bed OF
the Mississippi river. is expected to save
millions Of dollars annually for the Illinois
Central. BY means OF dredges especially
built for the purpose the company Is TAX
ing from the bed OF the Mississippi at
Memphis between 100 and 1900 yards Of
grave, ballast every twenty-four hours.
Thus far over 10000 yards have been taken
from this source and transferred TO sixty
miles Of track between Memphis and Vicks-
burg. With these pebbles is mixed river
sand, making a dustless ballast.
The discovery OF this ballast is looked
upon as OF immense value TO the southern
roads. which heretofore nave not had a
good ballast. Portions of the Illinois Cen
trail in the south have been Teballasted
every three or four months because OF
erosion. but the officials think the gravel

DAY IS BOTH SAFE AND SANE
Not a Single Accident Due to Explo.

BIG CROWD VISITS THE PARK
oId-FashiOned Celebration Enjoyed
During the Afternoon, with a
Display of Fireworks
in Evening.

With weather conditions that could not
be excelled Council Bluffs enjoyed not
only a glorious. but a sane and safe
Fourth of July. If there were any acct
dents due to the celebration Of Independ-
ence day in this city they were with one
exception not reported to the authorities.
The one accident that required the atten-
ton of the city physician was of a minor
character, the party hurt being struck by a
swing in Paramount park.
1t might be truly said that everybody
in Council Bluffs observed the great ma
tional holiday in some manner or another.
Hundreds of families took advantage of
the glorious weather to enjoy a picnic
either in Fairmount park, Lake ManaWa
or in some sequestered woodland spot
near the city. Others crossed the river
and took in the attractions at the resorts
in Omaha
At times during the day so great was
the exodus to the parks and other resorts
that the streets of the CITY were literally
deserted. At the close of the public ex-
e~rcises in Paramount park the streets
again were filled with pleasure seekers,
many of those who took in the festivities
at Paramount park going to Lake Manawa
for the balance of the holiday.
The day was a remarkably orderly one.
due in a great measure to the fact that all
Of the saloons, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Iowa mulct law. were kept
closed the entire day. Violations OF the
city ordinance prohibiting the discharge of
revolvers, shotguns, giant crackers and
other dangerous explosives were few and
far between, and the police were not called
upon to make a single arrest in this con-

No Accidents Reported.
Inquiry among the doctors failed to
bring to light any case of injury from fire
works. and none was reported to police
headquarters. Even with the immense
crowds which It handled to and from Fair,
mount park during the afternoon and eve
ming, and TO and from Lake Manawa prac
tically all day. no accident was reported
on the street railway lines. The servic,
was all that could be desired under tn,
circumstances.
The public celebration at Fairmount parl
attracted a crowd. estimated over 500
people. The exercises were held at tn
bandstand, following which there were
number OF races and other sports for tn
children. with two OF three events for tn
older folk, including a chase for a wei
creased porker, which was open to every
body.

gave Mr.. Roosevelt a total vote of 81
932. The states OF Alabama, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Florida gave him a total of 1922 or
less than 1000 more than Montana
gave him. IN all probability a similar
condition will prevail at the coming
election. Yet Montana Is
given but six delegates to the national
convention, while i've southern states,
with less than 1000 more republican
votes combined than Montana are
given Is.
Montana is given one delegate for
every 1922 votes cast for the repub.
lican candidate for the presidency at
the last election. In the southern
states mentioned one delegate is Civ
en- for every 400 votes cast for the re-
publican presidential electors. In
view of such a difference in the inf1u-
ence of a republican vote in the
south and in the north it is not to be
wondered at that the question of rep

OPENING a NEW DISTRICT.

The announcement from Great Falls
that the first passenger train on the
Billings & Northern railroad left that
city Friday morning carrying the first
passengers from the smelter city since
the other railroads were washed out
to Lewistown where connections were
made with the Milwaukee called at
;ention to the fact that within the
next few months the first train on the
new road will run out Of Billings. The
new line traverses one Of the riches;
territories in the northwest and will
make it tributary to Billings. It is
time u merchants Immediately made
arrangements to reach out for the
business along the new line. Helena
and Great Falls have already gone
after it and Billings should hurry. The
time is ripe to discuss conducting a
trade excursion over the new road
when completed into Billings. A trade
excursion was run over the Milwa1-
kee from Miles City when 1t was COM
rieted and such an excursion is to be
conducted by Helena merchants into
adjacent territory in August. Such

WORK commences
LOCAL ENGINEER SAYS 1t WILL
BE FINISHED BY SEPT. 4.

&c. LiIis, a well known local en-
gineer, returned yesterday from the
Big Horn valley where he has been
the last three weeks surveying on
the Big Horn low line ditch.
Mr.. Lillis says that construction
work was commenced a week ago
and is progressing rapidly. That part
OF the country has been the scene of
comparatively little rain and the con
dition OF the ground is favorable to
excavating. There are at present 40
teams at work on the ditch together
with an excavating machine capable
OF moving 1000 yards of earth a
day.
II present plans do not miscarry
and no serious obstacles r encoun-
tered In digging the ditch 1t will be
completed by September /.

Is not anticipated, these men will re

the employees has been assigned to a
position which he will keep during
the convention. They are provided
with seats made Of mating. AT the
first word of the speaker they drop
these upon the floor in the aisles and
sit upon them, leaving them even low
er than the delegates.
The arrangements made for the
convention are said to be the most
perfect ever devised for holding a
national convention. It is anticipated,
however, that there will not be suffi-
cient seating oom in the auditorium
to accommodate the number Of peo-
pie who will want to attend the ses-
sions Of the convention.

girls from the government Indian

women we're attended by a chaperone
from their school.
After the afternoon performance
which they attended, with one accord
they expressed themselves as being
delighted with what they saw and es-
pecially SO with the Indian war dance
that was the attraction Of the concert
following the main show. The races
in which the Indians participated were
also q source of great pleasure to the
girls. 81
In the evening they attended "Shall

toyed. They will leave this morning

PATRoNlzE HOME INDUSTRY.

effectiye. The committee appointed

Billings has found that the business

from several hundred dollars monthly
to an insignificant sum.

chant now has really no cause to COM

the citizens Of Billings"
This is a most agreeable announce
ment. 1t is doubtful II there is an
other community in the northwest
where an investigation similar to the
one conducted in Billings will disclose
such u favorable condition. It shows
that there is more than hot air" in

And while the conditions Is 80
favorable. so far as the mail order
houses are concerned. the agitation
should not stop. It should be extended

only ~patronize the home merchant
but they will purchase Billings made
goods. There is no reason why an agi
tation to purchase only goods manu-
featured here should not be as sue

.THE NAN WHO pAREs.n

The man who dares' is the unique
title given District Attorney John
Brown Moran of Suffolk county. Mass,
which includes the city. Of Boston, as
a result OF the fearless and energetic
Investigations he has conducted
where public officials have been In
volyed. The recent announcement
that he must retire from oflcial life
and seek another climate in an effort
to fight the ravages Of tuberculosis
has placed Mr.. Moran in the national
,limelight and called attention to n
of the most unique politicians of the
age. +
BY his indomitable will John B..
Moran forced himself into the public
eye as few other men have done in
that state. Year after year he was a
candidate for district attorney Of Suf-
folk county, and finally, in 1906, run
ming as independent democrat, he
succeeded in defeating District Attor-
ney Sughrue. Mr.. Moran was re-
elected as Independent candidate last
year for a second term. In 1906 he
ran for governor on four tickets, as a
democrat, prohibitionist, Independent
leaguer and as a citizen. His total
vote was within 1900 of that re.
ceived by Governor Guild.
1t is said that District Attorney Mo
ran will stop at nothing, except dis:
honorable methods, to accomplish
anything he sets out to do. At one
time he summoned the entire legisla
ture before the grand jury to testify
as to alleged bribery relative to a bill!
closing bucket shops" It was
found, however, that the legislature
could not be forced to testify. Event
ually one member Of the legislature
was expelled on charges Of having re
ceived a bride. District Attorney Nc
ran prides himself on his conviction
of Robert Proctor, formerly privat'
secretary to Senator Henry Cabo
Lodge for failure to turn over a cam
paign contribution.
1t is indeed sad that a man, with
record in public service such as this
should be stricken with the grea
white plague. It is to be hoped tina
it but marks a hating plave and no
an end to his public duties.
