SEVEN FEET HIGH.

a. - =
Dubuque, Oct. 90 During the past
week, the city completed work on the
800 feet OF the Bee Branch sewer,
which, as 1t now stands is the largest
sewer in the state Of Iowa.
The work, which was done by the
O'Farrell Contracting company, is, It
is understood, thoroughly satisfactory
in every way and is distinct credit
to that concern as well as to the city.
The sewer is eleven feet and eight
inches wide, the height being seven
feet, the proportions making 1T the
biggest concrete sewer In Iowa AT
Waterloo recently a sewer Of smaller
proportions than these was completed,

TRAFFIC COMPANIES ARE PRE-
PAIRING FOR BIG SHIPMENTS
OF STOCK AND PRODUCE
CAN PREVENT FIRES
BY Leasing Of Portion of Right-of-
Way to Farmers, Carriers Would
Reduce Liability Of Damage
by Flames.

| The railroads are rapidly getting
ready for the stock and grain move
ment, which from all indications will
be unusually heavy this year. The out
look for immense crops throughout
the west is most favorable and the
rolling stock is being placed in condl-
ton to handle this movement.
The Burlington and Rock Island
roads are getting part of the green
fruit business from the Pacific coast.
A few years ago the Burlington han
died but little Of this traffic. So far
this year nearly one hundred green
fruit specials have passed east over
its tracks. It is also hauling scores
of cars Of bananas to the north coast
country. Passenger travel has been
brisk and 1t more widely scattered
than last season, when the bulk OF the
western tourists went to the Puget
Sound country.
Would Utilize Ground.
A traveller suggests that the rail
roads lease to the farmers that part
of their right of way abutting fields,
in order to make available for farm
ing purposes large amount of land
that is now unused. The idea may
have been borrowed from the Iowa Of
fetal who offered suggestion to mar
row the country highways.
This traveller suggested that the
railroads would be gamers if they
would allow the use of the land for
farming on condition only that it be
kept free of weeds. The danger OF fire
losses because Of the proximity of the
fields to the track might be another
element to be considered in the con-
tract. He holds that the railroads
would be gamers from the increased
output Of the territory through which
they run. He says:
A Travellers View.
81 have travelled over three Differ
ent roads for short trips in the heart
of the best corn country to be found
anywhere. I saw fields of corn adjoin-
ing the right of way that would go
sixty to seventy bushels to the acre,
and I have seen between the tracks
and the fields wide strips Of unused
ground owned by the road. Along one
of those roads the right OF way was
kept we'll moved and there were Few
weeds, and but little long grass. On
the other roads saw the right OF way
unkept, growing weeds and long grass
that will add to the fire danger In the
fall. These strips of right of way IN
rich corn growing territory have great
value and ought to be used to increase
the output Of the farms. The roads
would be gamers and the majority Oh
farm owners would be glad to make
contracts to keep down weeds and
grass"

That Frances Starr Is an artist of TIC
mean ability was assured, when she
appeared as Laura Murdoch, in "The
Easiest Way" at the Gennett Mon
day evening. 1t is seldom that a
play, with no excuse for its creation
holds the breathless, undivided atten-
ton of an audience. such as did the
performance last evening. 1t is only
the wonderful work of a star like
Frances Starr. supported by cast of
unusual talent, that makes the pro-
duction one of the most talked of,
which has appeared here this season.
There is no excuse for such a play
as "The Easiest Way" and there Is no
excuse for any girl, even in New York
City, that she should choose 1t. But
the production only goes to show that
a girl once having chosen it, and
known the luxury. the ease and pleas
ures that money buy. has not the
sheer will power to turn from it and
lead a true. good life. The one lesson
that comes home with the force of a
blow, is that in the end, such a woma-
an is cast of, forsaken and despised
by both the man who won her love.

Professor Charles Frederick Chand-
Ter. who recently retired from the fac
ulty Of Columbia university after for.
ty-six years service at that institu-
ton. was born in Lancaster. Mass.
December s. 1886. After finishing his
course in the public schools he pur-
sued his professional studies at the
Lawrence Scientific school and the I'M
iversities of Gottingen and Berlin As
a teacher DIR. Chandler was at Union
college seven years after his return
from Europe in 1857. In 1864 he be-
came interested in the new venture OF
founding a school of mines at Column
bia university, and with several asso-
ciates he launched the project. From
n humble beginning the institution
