Plan Another Macadam Road on
North Side.
New Rochester ROad-St. John
Street Connection.
OLD ROUTE AVOIDED.
"ShOrey Extension Makes 1t
Too Narrow" Farmers.
Proposed Route: Via Garfield
st. and Topeka Avenue.

Plans are being made to make a
new macadam road from the Roches-
ter road to st. John street via Garfield
street and Topeka avenue. This
would make another through mac
adamized road from the Rochester
road to North Kansas avenue. One
macadam connection has been made
from the Rochester road to Kansas
avenue via Tyler and st. John streets.
However, the Shorey extension of
the Topeka street railway, follows this
route to the north city limits on Tyler
street. This makes the thoroughfare
much narrower-and ST. John street
was narrow anyway. For this reason
the farmers have been avoiding the
macadam and have been preter1ng
the dirt road extending along the
streets, which are proposed to be mac
adamized. Another reason given is
that their horses are scared at the
street cars and the drivers fear run
away.
E. E. Olinger and others are plan
ming to lay the new macadam propo-
sition before the city commissioners.
either as individuals or through the
Civic club.
The Shorey extension runs west
on Morse street from North Kan
sas avenue to Topeka avenue. Here
it turns north and meets the macadam
road and extends west on the macad-
am to Tyler street, and follows that
street north to the macadam Rochest-
er road at the north end of Garfield
street. Thus the corner formed by
the macadam from Topeka avenue to
Tyler street and north to Garfield
street, which used to be the favOrite
road of the farmers is made much
less available for their use by the ex-
tension. If the opposite corner form
aa hx- Ta f~f ioo
Garfield from Tyler street to Topeka
avenue and south on Topeka avenue
to st. John street is macadamized.
another through macadam road will
be formed from the Rochester road to
North Kansas avenue.
AS this other road is much frequent
ed by the farmers since the Shorey
extension has been laid, they are an
Xious that it be made macada mized.
1t is thought that the cost of improv-
ing of only two blocks would be small
as compared to the benefits derived.

TONS OF BUTTER.
Iowa Produced l0l,907,3l6
Pounds in Year 1909.
WRIGHT MAKES HIS REPORT
Amount Of Butter Shipped From the
State Shows Decrease-There
Are s87,74o Cows Used for
Dairy Purposes.

Des Moines, Mar. 12-During the
year 1909 the farmers of Iowa and
the creameries of the state made
101 ,907,316 pounds of butter, using in
the making 413,797,149 pounds OF
milk and 279,436,149 pounds of cream.
OF this amount 3,513,644 pounds were
sold to patrons and 6,S66,S53 pounds
were sold in Iowa.
These are the figures shown in the
annual report of II. r. Wright, state
food and dairy commissioner, which
has just been issued.
The report further shows that dur
ing the year 1909 far less butter was
shipped out of the state than during
1908 Last year the railroads report
ed that S7,773,S35 pounds of butter
were carried from this state by them.
The 1908 reports of the companies
show that 9S,97O,991 pounds were car
ried out. All the counties of the state
save twenty-three show a decrease
in the amount of butter shipped from
the state. The total decrease shown
is 15,947,739 pounds, and the total in
crease 4,750,5S3 pounds, making the
net decrease 11,197,156 pounds.
The report further shows that
there are 887,740 cows used for dairy
purposes in the state and that the
creameries have 116,750 patrons.
Commissioner Wright devotes con-
siderable space in his report to the
question of city milk inspection. He
states that while fourteen of the cit
les of the state have city milk In
spection, he regrets the fact that
there is not more Of 1t.
The last general assembly" he
says, declined to make any change
In the statutes relating to city milk
inspection by this department or in
the statutes relating to the use Of
the tuberculin test. The commission
er regrets that the amount Of money
and authority given to this depart
ment is not sufficient to insure the
best quality of milk in the large cit
les of this state, and calls attention
to this fact hoping that the city au-
thorities will take such steps as may
be proper to supplement the efforts OF
this department in this direction.
AS to oleomargarine, Commission
er Wright sounds word Of warning
to the creamerymen and dairymen OF
the state. He states that the manu-
facturers OF oleo are making Wig
orous campaign to further the sale
of this product and will undoubtedly
maze an effort to secure from con-
gress the removal of the restriction
on its sale.
The manufacturers of oleo are few
in number but they represent rich
and powerful corporations and have
millions of dollars with which to pre-
sent their claims to congress. The
dairymen and creamery men are
many in number, he says, but are
not organized so as to get immedi-
ate and effective action.
The report shows also that there
are SAB creameries in the state re-
porting to the commissioner and that
there are but nine cheese factories.

COMMISSION TO HEAR
COMPLAINT OF TAP LINES

WASHINGTON. .. c.. Nov. 10
A hearing TO consider whether GER
tain tap lines. which are short rail-
roads connecting with trunk lines, are
entitled to division of rates with
the big lines, viii be held before Com
missioner Harlan. of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. at New Or
leans, December 10. In n test case
some time ago the commission de-
cided that the payment to the tap
lines OF a proportion of the rates was
equivalent to a rebate, and therefore
unlawful. Following this decision ali
the big railroad systems cyt off the
tap lines from sharing in the freight
charges. A number of them claimed
to be common carriers. and therefore
entitled to a. proportion OF the rates
of freight passing over their lines.
Eighteen tap lines will be represented
at the New Orleans hearing.
