the South are to reap the full benefit
of their natural advantages they must
be able to send their products to
market. They have, therefore, very
direct and vital interest in the eff
ficiency of their transportation facil-
tiles of all kinds, including water
ways, railways, and the country high
ways. | believe, therefore, that the
best interests of the South will be adj
vanced by the building up of a strong
and militant public opinion which will
support a comprehensive and system
attic plan for the development of its
inland waterways, such as the Ten
nessee river, which will advance the
movement for the improvement of
country highways, and which will en-
courage the investment of private
capital in providing those additional
and improved railway facilities which
will be urgently needed if the volume
of traffic in the South continues to
increase"
Such expression by a railroad presi-
dent, favoring waterway development,
is rather inspiring in view of the gen
eral understanding that railroads are
opposed to water Transportation. 1t
would seem that the country is united
in the demand for more boats, as
well as more railroads and better
highways.

AS TO PRONUNCIATION.

How should "Pepys" be pro-
nounced? Percy Lubbock, who re-
Gently wrote biography Of Samuel
Pepys, declares 'Peeps." But there
are many people living and talking
who call themselves 'sPeppis." In
1879 was published a volume called
"Lucida lntervalla," by James Car
casse, who was a clerk in the Office
OF Pepys. He did not like Pepys,
and would have been glad to spell it
"Peeps." But he didn't. He wrote ::
Get thee behind me. then, dumb
devil, begone!
The Lord hath Ephthatha said to my
tongue,
Him / must praise who open'd hath
my lips
Sent me from navy to the ark by
Pepys."
From this the London Chronicle
concludes that to his contemporary
Pepys was "Pips."

COMPELLED TO GIVE UP PREY
kInefisher Tackled More Than He
Could Handle When He Pounced
on Eel.

For many years past family of
kingfshers have maintained a sum-
mer home at South Portland. They
are a large handsome pair, and a
favorite pastime of the male bird is
to fish for cells and minnows in the
basin at the dam when the tide is
out. The other day Pa Kingfsher
tackled an eel evidently too heavy
for him. For some time it was a
debatable question whether the eel
would go to the home of the king
fisher, some distance up the creek, or
the sporty bird would have to stay
with the eel. Sometimes the bird
and sometimes the fish would be the
under dog. Sculpins, founders and
minnows withdrew to a safe dis
lance to watch the strange subna-
rine VS.. aerial contest. Presently
the eel seemed to get both under
holds, and the two disappeared from
view, save that first the birds tail
and then the cells would wave tri-
umphantly above the tide. But the
cells unfair tactics of keeping in his
own elements most of the time be-
gan to tell on the plucky bird, which,
gasping for breath, released its
would-be prey and, shaking the wa
ter from its ruifled plumage, struck
a swift gait upcreek for his summer
home. A little later he was seen
cleaning and drying his soiled gar
ments by his home freside.-Ken-

GRADING CONTRACT IS LET
Indications that Short Line from
Treynor Will Be Built.
APPRAISERS BEGIN woR
Right-of-way for Ten Miles Involves
Eleven Actions for
nation-Part OF Rails
Here.

There is every indication now that the
portion of the Iowa & Omaha Short Linz
between the town of Treynor In Potta-
wattamie county and Council Bluffs will
be built. The survey has been completed,
the contract for the grading has been let to
William Lama of Harlan and yesterday
q jury of appraisers was appointed by
Sheriff McCatfery in eleven proceedings
brought to condemn the right-of-way got
busy.
The Iowa & Omaha Short Line was or
ganized to construct a railroad between
Des Moines and Omaha and the building Of
the line between Treynor and this city Is
but the initial step. It is said by George
w. Adams Of Walnut, president of the
company and principal promoter of the
project. The line from Treynor will enter
Council Bluffs over the tracks of the Wa
bash, with which It will connect at Pony
creek, a short distance southeast of the
city limits. The line will be of standard
gauge and will have the regular equipment
Of a steam railroad.
The contract with w. NJ. Lama, who is
the bridge contractor for Pottawattamie
county, calls for the completion Of the
grading of the ten miles Of road within 100
days. The contract also provides for the
construction Of all necessary bridges be-
tween the two points.
It is the intention Of Contractor Lama to
have the road built up as close to the grad
ing as possible, so hat when the grading
is completed the ties and rails will be
about all In place. BY adopting this plan
the material used in the bridges will be
hauled by rail most of the way, thus elimi-
mating a large expense for teaming.
The survey Of the proposed line was made
by j. Harley Mayne, county surveyor of
Pottawattamie county, and a corps OF as
sistants.
The officers of the road have, it is said,
experienced but little difficulty in securing
the right-of-way, and so far it has been
found necessary to bring no condemnation
proceedings on account of not being able
to agree on the value Of the strip to be
used by the railroad.
The appraisers who began work yester-
day are the same n all eleven actions.
They are Perry Kerney, f. w. Ouren, Ras-
mus Campbell, William Arnd, George w.
Lipe and w. s.. Cooper.
The defendants in the eleven proceedings
are Herman DANTE and three others.
Theodore Ludwig and two others, william
Henry, Elizabeth and Margaret J. Knowles,
Julius Korgan, Joseph J. Nusser, Freder-
lex Hobus, John c.. Beck, William Schley,

County Attorney y. J. Hess, who is at
torney for the railroad company, went out
with the jury of appraisers yesterday. 1t
is expected that three days will be spent
in the appraisement.
Much of the steel work is already on the

Boy KILLED Under water Tank.

IOWA FALLS, Ia. July 26-(special)-
Morris Sawyer, the 5-year-old son of Engi-
neer Ed Sawyer of the Rock Island, was
almost instantly killed here about $50 Sat
urday evening by being run over by the
tank attached to a traction engine. Two
or three boys mounted the tongue of the
water tank while the drivers attention was
diverted to the engine. Morris Sawyer lost
his balance and fell off. BEFORE he could
realize his danger or roll or jump out of
danger the wheels Of the heavy water
tank wagon passed over his body, brushing
his chest badly. While no bones were
broken he was so badly injured internally
that he lived only about twenty-five
minutes.
