Dubuque.
Dubuque is now having it's turn as a
point of congestion Of railroad freight
and the situation, unless relieved very
soon, will be a serious one. Turnout
the railroad yards Of the city there are
over 1000 freight cars awaiting to be
moved and so great a business are the
roads doing in moving passenger trains
and perishable freight that they have
been practically unable to touch the
freight piled up in the Dubuque yards.
This is not only true OF one road but
true Of all of them. The reason for
this congestion, in a measure, is de-
clared to be the order of the railroad
commission to roads to move corn as
perishable freight, the present condition
of the corn market causing q rush vi
corn to the great centers almost as
large as the ordinary freight business
ON some branches Of the roads.
