DIVORCE OF ROCK ISLAND AND
FRISCO LINES MEANS IMPROVE.
MENT IN IOWA.
SEPARATION is FORCED
THRU FEAR OF COURTS
Standard Oil Decision Causes Big Rail-
way Merger Promoters Considerable
Worry-Portions of Rock Island and
Frisco Lines Were in Competing
Territory.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Ioines, Dec. 2.-The real reason
for the dissolution of the trust which
involves control of the Frisco and
Rock Island railroads is said to be fear
of the effects of the decision in theI
Standard Oil case A man closely con-
nected with the legal department of
one of the railroads here states that in
fact some of the big men who have en-
gagged in merging the railroads are
that they are seeking to head off COM
ing trouble.
The situation as regards Rock Island
financing is peculiarly delicate. 1t is
recalled that when the Moores We're
making a collection of southwestern
roads a s2O,000,000 corporation was
formed in Iowa to hold them together
and that Governor Cummins set on foot
a movement to have it stopped If that
was possible. 1t was not possible and
the merging was completed. A similar
consolidation thru holding company
was effected for the Frisco lines. Then
the Rock Island company" was or
gained in New Jersey and this COM
pany owned the stock Of both the
Frisco and the Rock Island merger
companies. AS many of the lines of
the two systems were parallel and
competing it was evident there would
be danger of running afoul of the law
in case the present administration be-
comes active The dissolution of that
New Jersey holding company was in
evitable.
There will probably be one good eff
fest of the divorce of the Rock Island
and Frisco and that is a betterment
of the Rock Island lines in Iowa. A few
years ago the Rock Island had plans
all laid for some new road building In
this state. Just then the Moores as
we'll as others went wild over the south
ern business and commenced buying UP
southern lines. This forced stoppage OF
the Iowa Improvements. Now it is be-
lieved that more attention will be given
the system In this state and possibly
next year, and unless all prices con-
tinue to go up, there will be some
building in this state.
AtnO the calm Is maze THAT polio-
| ing Of interurbans in Iowa is costly
so much so that there can be no profit
under the 2-cent fare law. yet the pro-
| ject for a line from Des Mo1nes int
the southwestern part of the state \:
by no means dead The line to Crestol
would have been built but for the fac
that the men who were to furnish thu
i money were not satisfied with the
character Of the engineering which hat
been done. Now survey is being made
which includes line to Nebraska City
and this is being done in a manner t.
assure the financing of the road at al
early date. The organization of a com
pany to build a line from Clarinda t.
Blanchard thru the best part of Pag
county indicates great confidence in tn
trolley line as a money maker. Othe
new lines are planned in the state.

SANDERS DISCUSSES METHODS.
Warden Of Fort Madison Prison Speaks
to U. !. Assembly.

Special to 1meS-RepuDl1can.
Iowa City, Dec. 2.-"Kindness always
has been winner and cruelty loser"
was the motto claimed by Warden j. g.
Sanders of the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary in discussing his work before the
University of Iowa assembly yesterday.
The working together of prisoner and
warden was touched upon briefly. AZ
cording to the speaker 400 men are now
confined in Fort Madison, of whom fif-
ty-five are< sentenced for life" OF the
seven differs" released on parole since
April 1, 1908, but one has ever broken

to college education Mr.. Sanders was

The decision practically co1npels the
repairing and reopendng of the old
school house or the holding of a spe-
call school election to ascertain the will
OF the people in the case.
From the opinion of County Super
intendent Young it is easily seen that
he believes no school board has any
legal right to permanently change the
ordinary custom of holding public
school on all week days except Satur-
day.
Superintendent Young has had the
matter under advisement for several
weeks awaiting an investigation of the
legal points involved by County At
torney James G. Patterson and Attorney
General Byers, both of whom were
consulted.

Disking Corn Land Before
Breaking.
Before

Fcw men realize the great advantage
to be secured in disking land before
breaking for corn. Where corn is TO
follow corn a weighted disk harrow can
be used. not only for a stalk cutter for
pulveIizer Of the surface and the saw
ing Of the humus Of the corn stalk
which is lost where they are burned, to.
gether with the greater ease with v hiCh
the lard can he broken make such
melh3d of handling very desirable.
One If the greatest benefits, however,
comes from the much better connection
that is made between the lotion Of the
furrow ard the turned soil where the
layer that 10 turned under is pulveriZed
instead of hard and cIoddy as is too Of
ten the case.
The value Of this previous diskng il,
however, not confined simply to stalk
land. Even on clover sod or on timothy
sod the same benefit will be secured.
A double disking of such land before
breaking will cause it to plow very
much easier, especially where such sod
land must be plowed late. 10 such cas-
es the moisture will be held in the land
better and it will not break up so cloddy
so that it will work down into condition
with very much less labor. This plan
is sometimes followed even on short
blue grass sod and the benefits secured
are surprising to the man who has new
er before tried it.
