pes Moines, April 27-The Iowa
ntral and the Minneapolis & st.
Ills railroads, which are operated by
same MANAGEMENT. but as separate
H.. roads, have filed their reports VIII
the executive council, and they snow
that while the NJ. & ST l.. lost on poll
It's gross and net receipts, the iowa
Central made gains in both over tfe
,sRevious years business. Inc Reports
cover the wear 1907. The Iowa Central
shows furthermore that it made gain
Of IA per cent in its passenger re-
ceipts over the business done in lsoo
and considerable increase IN the
freight. The reports cover six months
Of the two-cent fare law.
The Burlington and Northwestern
routes are the only large concerns that
have not thus far filed reports. me
gains of the Iowa Central in It's pas
senger fare transportation is exceeoeo
thus far by the Rock Island only
which has made gain of IL per cent.
1t is evident from the reports that nave
been thus far filed with the councll
that the railroads Of Iowa have not en-
joyed the increase in prosperity IN
1907 over that of the previous year.
tho practically every line has Kept up
to or nearly up to the high water
mark Of 1906. During 1906 the roaus
all made unprecedented gains in bust
ness over the year before. Last year
they about held their own, tho rev
fell back slightly. Wherever rail-
road has increased its gross receipts
the increase is found mostly in the
passenger transportation, which for SIX
months of 1907 was on 2-cent rare
basis. Many that have held their own
have done so because of the increase
in the passenger transportation re-
ceipts.
The five principal roads that have
thus far reported show the following
comparisons in gross receipts: Rock
Island for 1907. .$13,571,047; 1906, $1S,-
945,699: Great Western 1907, $3.531,-

Capt. John A. T. Hull is no longer
a resident Of the Seventh congressional
district OF Iowa, which he represents
in congress, tho the Des Moines city
directory still continues to give his
residence at 2422 Forest Drive. A
couple Of years ago Hull sold his house
and lot in this city. He still owns a
lot with barn on the bank of it but
he does not live in the barn, and with
the exception Of his interest in the
Capital City State Bank and the build
ing the bank owns, Hull has no other
Des Moines real estate SO far as can be
discovered. He owns a very fine farm
in Virginia and with the exception of
strenuous political times when his at
tention is needed here to look after
his political fences his time is spent
in the east and on his farm, where
his family resides. When he is in Des
.Moines it is understood that he stays
with his tbrother-in-law, Dr.. Homer c.
Potter, OF 1135 Pleasant street.
Probably this will have no bearing
IT.. ioo
people are coming more and more to
be lenient about allowing their repre-
sentatives to live in other places out
side the districts they represent, as is
done in England. However, the law re-
auires that man shall live inside
the district that he represents.

noon in Maxwell, and will this week

ton, Friday afternoon at Massena and
