Des Moines, March S.-Plans fr q
continuous highway across the state
from Davenport to Council Bluffs were
considered in an enthusiastic n
by delegates from fifteen counties at
a caucus held in this city today. II
tie project is carried out, as now APP
the route will improve and keep In
repair its own link in the long chain,
thus entailing little expense. 1t is
urged hat the fame of such a Dad
would extend throughout the nation,
and would not only give Iowa a asst
amount OF favorable advertising, but
would also serve as an example for
other states to follow. The promoters
of the scheme expect thai the idea
will be taken up by the ~neighbori1g
states, and that eventually rhe Iowa
rcad will become a part of a great
national highway extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
1t is pointed out that Iowa is on
the great pathway across he conti-
n from east to west. Tens of
thousands of a-utonobilists cross and
recross the state every season. The
great natural route lies across the
state from river to river, from Dav-
export to Council Bluffs. These roads
today are the great American bugbear
to the automobilist. All over the ma
ton it is known that a single hard
ain will put travelling out of tae
question. The tourist from the start
breads that re may be caught within
the confines OF the state by a storm.
With a good road route across the
state this phase of the situation and
would be entirely eliminated and the
praise of Iowa and her 800 mile road
would be heard from one end of the
nation to the other.
Aside from the advertising feature,
the road and it's steady stream of
tourists would prove a boon to every
merchant and hotel in every trade
center on the route across the state.
The greatest value of the road will
he in the route which it provides for
the farmer to his market place. The
broad will give every one of the sixty
Eve or seventy market towns which
lie along Its route, two good a in
to and from the town In opposite di-
-ections. Road making is strictly a
local proposition. Each community
must of necessity build and maintain
its W roads. This plan simply pro-
vides for the active cooperation OF
a sufficient number of these commu
mites to improve and maintain a con-
tinuous good dirt Dad from river to
river. The continuous road into and
out of every town will accommodate
just as many farmers with a good
road a thei market place as any
equal number of miles of highway
which could be built and maintained
in any other section of the state OF
in any other isolated and ~disconnect
ed sections.

LG JUMP IN NET.

The interstate commerce commission
has just issued bulletin No. Of the
revenues and expenses of steam roads
in the United States, which is the first
annual compilation from the monthly
reports and gives the results for the
years ending June 80, 1909 and 1908.
The bulletin contains 238 pages, one in
teresting feature of which is a diagram
of the monthly averages in dollars per
mile Of line during the two years, ar
ranged in such a way as to make
comparison of the results during the
panic year and the one following. The
Introduction to the statistical matter
says in part:
''If the rail operations and outside
operations be combined to produce
proper basis for comparison with the
results OF years prior to 1908, the gem
eral summary shows a constant IN
crease in revenues, which for the year
ending June 30, 1909, exceeded, there
fore, the year ending June 80. 1908. by
$32, 594,244. At the same time the rather
general tendency to greater economy
corresponding expenses, resulting in an
increase of $91, 819, 226 in total net rev.
enue."
Reduced to per mile of line aver
ages" taking into account the increase
in average mileage operated during the
miles, the figures show that the in
creases in gross earnings during the
last half of the year ending June go
1909, were not quite sufficient to offset
the decreases during the first half of
the same fiscal year, the respective
amounts being $10,704 for 1909, as
against $10,7S8 for 1908, 81, 1888 for 1907
and $1O.460 for 1906.
On the other hand, operating ex-
penses per mile of line, which showed
constant inward fnn6onRU
year ending June 80, 1907, with $7.6s7
per mile of line, were only 1884 per
mile of line for 1908 and 81, 1873 for 1909
The increase in net revenue per mile of
line. the amounts being $3.50 for 1906
$3,54S for 1906, 1896 for 1907, SO, pa for
1908 and $3,571r for 1909 demonstrates
that the year ending June 80. 1909, cor
responds in its net results as closely to
1906 as 1908 did to 1905, and if the pres
ent upward movement continues 1910
will compare with 1907, which latter
year now represents the high water
mark in railway earnings

STAMP OUT THE PLAGUE
Church and other Bodies Organized to
Fight tuberculosis.

AS a result of agitation during the past
few months on the part of the Brother
clubs, the Red Cross society, Y. NJ. G. A
and other organizations, for a systematic
campaign to suppress the great white
plague in Topeka. the Anti-Tuberculosis
association was planned last night at the
First Baptist church, about 200 persons
being present.
A meeting will be held in Gemmell hall
of the Central Y. NJ. G. A next Wednes-
day evening to perfect the organization.
In the meantime a constitution will be
drawn up. For this purpose a meeting
of committee composed of the Rev.
Thos.. S. Young, chairman; DR.. E. S.
Pettyjohn, Judge T. F. Carver. Secretary
Guy T. Justis of the Provident associa-
ton, and B. B: Smythe, is being held this
afternoon at the First Baptist church.
1t is hoped by those who are interested
in the formation of the new organization
that it will be possible in the near future
to establish a camp for consumptives.

Cooley Has Deal to Strengthen
His Team.
But IL 1t Doesn't Go Through
He's Satisfied.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Believes Omaha Is Only Team
That Approaches Topeka.
Pitching Staff Good and Outfield
a Sensation.

[ eff can pull of deal which I
now have in mind I think I will still
further strengthen my team. Other
wise am pretty we'll satisfied with it
now
This is the statement of Manager
Cooley of the local club concerning
the showing made by the team of
which he is owner and which will rep
resent Topeka in this years contest.
The big manager is happy over the
showing made against Detroit and
Chicago as well as against the Ameri-
can league teams.
II said 1t would take me two years
to get a ball club" said Cooley, but /
believe 1 have already accomplished
this. I am mighty well pleased with
the bunch have. They are fast field
ers, hit the ball we'll and know some
thing of the game. Beside this they
do exactly what 1 tell them to. and
seen all of my team yet-playing to-
gether-and when they do they will
have something pretty nice to say of
them I think.
II am going to have an outield this
year that will be one of those outfields
that people talk of long after the
players are gone. The only thing that
can stop me is injury to some players
or something like that, and L do not
count upon such a disaster handicap
ping us. I believe that we are going
to start into this race with the bright
est prospects Only one team viii
approach u.s. Omaha looks awfully
good but we've got 'en bested.
Guess my pitching staff is bad
isn't it? I've got real pitchers this
year, and plenty of them. I've got
an infieId that will make all of them
think of that Detroit bunch. What
KunkIe, Reilly. Kah1 and Abbott will
do this year will be told in the order
in which it is done by the newswrit-
ers.
II still have something 1 want to
spring. I may not be able to spring
it Sometimes you can't do what you
want to- But will have a cracking
good ball club even if 1 can't. 1t
won't keep us down in the race any.
Wen be there just the same and in
many ways
The members of the local team say
they are going to have the best sea-
son they ever had but that is the
usual spring talk. However, tndivid-
uals making up the team want to
bet that they will lead the league,
outside Sioux City, in team hitting.
Sioux CITY doesn't count because of
that cheesebox park. And some of
them contend that with this handi-
cap they will head the Soos in team
hitting.
The Sox made a late trip to st.
Marys yesterday and hung defeat
into the coIlegians to the tune of 4 to
1. St. Marys keeps on irving to beat
Topeka because they once did and it
gives both teams good practice. Each
team yesterday gathered 3 hits ac-
cording to St. Marys scorers Harris
and Wright flung EN- across, and
Maxey stopped them.

staff and strong defense given gener-
ally made the White Sox the hardest
team in the world to score upon and
one run won many games for them
But last season there was change.
Fielder Jones quit the game and Billy
Sullivan took his place, although the
job was not of his own seeking. The
1909 White SOX were never pennant
contenders. This was new condition.
In an effort to make a change this sea-
son Hughey Duffy was secured as man
ager from Providence, while Charles
Comiskey, the owner, spent slathers of
coin for new players.
Accordingly, the 1910 team Will be
practically new. But one 1nf1elder,
Billy Purtell at third, holds his JOB.
Gandill, secured from the coast, plays
first; Zeider. second, and Blackburn
for whom ST, 900 was paid, is at short.
Fred Parent may be the only veteran
in the outfield, Messenger being a
youngster who looks best for another
place, with the third position assured
that other vet, Pat Dougherty.
Billy Sullivan, last years manager,
will be this years field captain. He IS
now out of the game, being troubled
with blood poisoning, suffered on the
training trip. Sullivan will, Of course,
do most of the catching, with Fred
Payne as chief assistant.
In the pitching box there are sucn
veterans as Ed Walsh, Frank Smith
and Doc White, than whom, when
right, hardly better trio can be asked
for. Lively youngsters will complete
the staff.
But. with this rebuilt team. you can't
expect too much. 1t will take year
for Duffy to get his machine really
working with his youngsters. There
fore, White Sox fans would come near
being satisfied with a third place club.
Better can hardly be expected.

STEAL WASTE FOR CAMP FIRES.
Santa Fe Having Trouble With "Boes"
Out West.


Ration. N. NJ, April IA transient
named VIM. F. Clover was caught last
evening by one of the Santa Fe spec
iaI officers while in the act of steal
waste from one of the freight cars
standing near the large warehouse
just south of the freight offices and
was taken before Judge Chas. NJ.
to term of thirty days in the county
jail. The hobo was taking the waste
from the journal of the car for the
purpose of making fire.
The offense was serious from two
points of view and Judge Bayne felt
thirty days. Not only would the
building of a fire from waste near
the warehouse have been a danger
Gus thing, but it is high time that an
example was made of some of these
transientS, who persist in robbing the
journals of the freight cars of their
waste, for the purpose of making
winter the Santa Fe experienced no
end of trouble from such annoyances
and the officers have been especially
urged to be on the lookout for just
such occurrences. It is very dangerous
to run car for any length of time
without sufficient amount Of waste
and lubricating oil in the journal to
burned a few miles south of Ration
the other day was set on fire from a
hot box, which serves well as an ex-
ample to show the necessity of ex-
treme vigilance in keeping this part
of the train equipment in good order.
The man caught yesterday was ut
ter1y Indifferent to the extent of his
sentence, stating to the officers in
charge that he was accustomed to
this "gettin' pinched."

the regular ticket agents been given
these passes, but assistant ticket agent

ployment, and it is charged that many
of the annual passes given to them
have been used Illegally. The rail-

custom is spread that has caused the
agitation for an abolition of the an
nual passes to any railroad man be-
