Wants Local Men to Assist in secur-
ing n Franchise.
The proposition of an electric interurban
line between Sioux City and Council Bluffs
was submitted to the members of the Com
mercial club yesterday by w. S. Cook, said
to be the representative of a Philadelphia
syndicate which is promoting and ready to
finance the project.
] Mr.. Cooks visit to Council Bluffs, he ex-
planned, was not for the purpose OF securing
financial assistance, as the syndicate which
he represents. he said, was prepared to
furnish all the money needed for the con-
struction OF the road. His object in coming
here, he said. was to secure the co-opera-
ton Of the Commercial club in obtaining a
franchise for the proposed company over
the streets Of this city. He said that he
also expected the Commercial club to lend
its influence in obtaining a right-of-way
between Council Bluffs and Missouri VAL
ley or between here and Beebeetown, along
either Of two proposed routes.
Meetings have already been held at Mag
nolia. Logan and Beebeetown and Mr.. Cook
said that the farmers along the proposed
route OF the electric road were>enthusiastlc
over the project. 1--WE have the money and
the road will be built" declared Mr.. Cook.
We contemplate the construction OF an
electric trolley overhead line for the ac-
commodation of both freight and passenger
traffic and will also carry package freight.
which Will be a great thirg for the small
towns along the route as well as for the
cities at the terminals"
The route between Sioux City and Council
Bluffs has not yet been determined. Mr..
Cook said. "one plan is to come direct to
Missouri Valley and then down the river to
Council Bluffs and then TO Omaha. An
other is to strike southeast from Little
Sioux and run through Logan. Magnolia,
Beebeetown and Crescent and from there
into Council Bluffs and Omaha" The first
route would be about ninety miles, while
the second would be from six to eight miles
lorger. Considerable influence, he said
was being brought TO bear upon the pro.
moters of the line to have the road take
the latter route and the farmers near Mag.
nolia, Logan and Beebeetown have agreed
to grant the company a right-of-way and
assist in the construction OF the road In
every possible way.
The proposition as presented BY Mr.
Cook appeared TO appeal most favoraoly
TO the members OF the Commercial elut
who were present at the conference ano
Mr.. Cook was assured that every assistance
towards securing a franchise here would
be given the men back OF the road In th'
event that It was shown that Il was in

HORTICULTURAL SHOW WAITING
Building Committee Has Not Yet
MADE Its Report.

buiAo1ng Committed Has Not Yet
Made It's Report.
Little was done at the meeting of the
National Horticultural congress last night
towards preparing for the big show next
December, owing to the fact that the
building committee failed to make a re-
port. Until it is known where the exhi-
bition will be heldg little in the way Of
definite preparation can be done.
AS it is essential that something defi-
mite in the matter of a building be done
without further delay. president Hess
announced that a special meeting would
be held this evening, at which time he
would make every effort to have the
building committee present and to make a
report.
1t was stated by President Hess that
the proposed purchase by a stock company
of the Patton property on North Main
street for the location Of an exhibition
hall had been abandoned. The officers
of the congress have under consideration
the purchase OF the Russell Clark imple-
ment building on Pearl street. adjoining
the armory of the Dodge Light guards,
which, 1t is said. could be available for
the purposes of the horticultural exhibit
ton. A tentative offer for the sale OF
this property at $500 was made a few
days ago. but Mr.. Hess said last night
that he had reason to believe that the
owners had changed their minds about
selling or at least until they could secure
another building for their business.
Secretary Reye reported that the mem
bership committee had brought in fifty
nine new names since the last meeting,
making the membership roll now over the
50O-maTk
The matter Of Incorporating, as ug-
gested at the previous meeting, was laid
over until II has been definitely deter
mined where the exhibition viii be held.

 Although the chief executives and their subordinates are still unwilling today to discuss the object of the con. ferences, and have given out that they came to discuss the common use Of the New Orleans terminals, this latter has been an insignificant feature of the discussions The officials met to de- ternaine, first, whether the roads oper- ating in the Southeastern Mississippi Valley and the Southeastern Freight Association territories should advance rates and agree upon basis for ad- vances.
