the opening of the session.
1t is expected that President Mac
Lean of the university will have charge

Of June 81.
Persons desiring to occupy cottages

should write to the director, Iowa City,

Persons desiring to avail themselves

DOMESTIC TRADE GETS IMPETUS
February Sees Heavier Movement of
Freiaht-Building Picks Up.

February Sees Heavier Movement of
Freight-Building Picks Up.
Washington, March 30.-Commercial
movements in the domestic field dur
ling February on the whole indicate
larger degree of industrial activity
than for the preceding month. Reports
received by the bureau Of statistics of
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor show heavier movements of coal,
and especially coke, due to the larger
demand of the iron furnaces. Larger
lumber receipts at consuming and dis
tributing centers and increased build
ing activity in the larger cities are an
other sign of industrial revival. The
movement of grain and provisions to-
ward the Atlantic seaboard shows
considerable diminution, mainly be-
cause of the small demand for export.
Grain receipts during the month at
fifteen primary interior markets,
52.129.691 bushels. were considerably in
excess of the total reported for Febru-
airy, 1908, of .47,229,151 bushels. The
wheat, corn and barley receipts for the
month were heavier that for last year.
while receipts of oats fell about
., 900, 900 bushels below the total re-
ported for February, 1908. AS COM
pared with corresponding 1907 figures,
all the items except barley show con-
siderable shrinkages. Flour shipments
during February from thirteen import
ant milling centers, 1924 29 barrels,
compare favorably with the corre-
spending 1908 and 1907 figures of o.
S4s.414 and 2,339.175 barrels. Aggre-
gate grain receipts at the above mar
kets for the season beginning Sept.

differences from the totals recorded

The Death Mill.

the PUBLIC UTILITIES BlLL...As 1T is.

Senator Peterson adopted a Socratic
tiles bill yesterday that will bring con-
viction to the voters who read his
speech. Senator Peterson is Of the soil,
farm boy before he was a lawyer and
a senator. He knows how the hard
headed Norwegian farmer stock from
which he inherits his ability and his
desire to defend common right will
look upon the returning lawmaker who
assists in saddling the Sarnnis bill
upon the state. He represents sensi-
BILE, clean and aggressive constituency
of Wright county farmers among whom
he has lived his more than fifty years
and he is withal keen lawyer with an
analytical brain entirely competent to
turn the Sammis bill inside out as he
did yesterday. Stripped of it's verbiage
of repetition and phraseology this is
what the Sammis bill means according
to Senator Peterson's decidedly lucid
fashion of dealing with it: Suppose"
said Peterson to his colleagues, when
you go home after voting for this bill,
if it becomes the law, you meet one of
your constituents on the street of your
home town. The conversation will run
something like this:
"'Hello, John
"'Hello, senator. You got back home
all right?'
".Yep, back again
"'Had quite time down there at
Des Moines this winter?'
cob, yes
Passed that Sammis utilities COM
mission bill?'
Yes
"'Well, say Is 1t true that that bill
takes these franchises we've issued to
the public utilities plants and makes
them perpetual?'
Yes, that's right
"'And there can't be but one plant of
a kind in town.
"Just one
ct takes away from the council the
power it has had to regulate the plants,
doesn't it,?
Well yes; I guess it does
We have to go down to Des Moines
before this commission to deal with our
own local plants, eh?
Eyes. guess that's right
"3Well, that increases the value of
the franchises now held. doesn't it?'
Yes, I guess it does
Now. isn't it a fact that it Increases
theirtvalue by millions, if it doesn't al
low any competition and makes the
fgranchises good forever"
well. yes; guess that's about
right
Senator. how much did you get for
it?'
That's the question We'll have put
to us, and it will be hard to answer,
too, If we vote for this Sammis bill
and make it a law" concluded the
and that conclusion will be
the one arrived at by the voters of the
state. The senate will do well to kill the
Samnis bill.

1t was mighty good idea which
suddenly possessed the lawmakers at

voted to reconsider the appropriation
of 100000 to build grandstand In
Des Moines. There is too much play

county is just as much entitled to such
an appropriation for its fair as Is the
