weather.crop Bu,leti,.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 12.-The
average temperature of the past week
was about degrees below the normal
with light frost in northern counties on
the 7th, but yet it was the most favor
able week for crop growth we have
had this season. Copious showers &C.
Cured over the larger part of the state
and the last three days were n,oder-
ately warm. The rainfall was quite
heavy and above the normal over about
two-thirds of the state; the heaviest
being in the Des Moines valley and es-
pecially in the northern half, where
the weekly amounts ranged from to
over 8 inches. The rainfall was ex-
tremely light over the northeastern
and extreme southw estern counties.
Grass. small grain and potatoes have
improved under the effect of the re-
cent rains and corn shows better color
and is growing more rapidly since the
advent of warm weather. Cultivation
Of early planted cornfields is general,
but replanting still continues in al Sec
tions of the state. Winter grains are
in bloom in central and are heading
nicely in southern districts. Spring
seeding is showing up well and gives
promise of good stand. Timothy
is heading short and the hay crop will
be light.

at $3.50. Thus the return trip was
made in one hour and SO minutes at
an estimated average speed of 1896
miles an hour, which broke the record
made by Curtiss in his fight from AL
bany to New York.
That Hamilton did not make the
return trip as easily as the outgoing
trip, was due only to an commission of
neglected to clean his spark plugs;
they fouled, the engine baked and he
had to come down on the banks of the
Raritan river, two miles above South
Amboy.

CANALS FOR BENEFIT
LESSON FROM EUROPE shows
HOW WATERWAY IMPROVE
MENT HELPS RAILROADS.
HAS A CREATIVE EFFECT
Construction Of tho Manchester Ship
Canal Shown to Have Resuseltated
Many Dying Towns-Msny Give
Similar Experiences.

In previous articles Il was shown
that the waterways carry goods more
cheaply than railways do or can and
compel the railways TO carry for less
than they otherwise would. and then
the claim was made that the improve
ment OF waterways Is . benefit TO the
railways with which they compete.
Several instances were given TO sup
port this claim and many more might
be given II space allowed, for the
writer, who has studied the subject for
rs years. has found many instances
OF benefit and not . single instance
OF harm. to railways from the i'm
provement OF waterways. II is now in
order to see II we can find reason
for this rather surprising result.
Waterways, as has been said before
produce benefits in three principal
ways-by direct saving in the cost Of
transportation Of goods carried by
water, indirect saving. by the lower.
ing OF railway rates through the COM
petition Of water routes. and by what
may be called q creative effect II
is this last named effect which We
are now to consider.
Manchester. England. before the con
struction of the ship canal, was a
dying town. Hundreds Of stores and
thousands of dwellings were empty,
factories were closed-some moved
away-and population was decreasing.
With the opening OF the canal all this
was changed. Factoriess reopened.
new ones were built. the empty houses
were refilled and thousands OF new
ones built to accommodate the popula-
ton that came pouring In. And the
benefits were not confined to Manches-
ter alone, but were distributed over
the whole great industrial region. con-
tanning over 100000 people, OF which
Manchester is the center II was not
only natural but inevitable, that the
great increase In population and pros
perity in Manchester and the surround
ing region should be reflected in the
business and the profits OF the rail.
ways therein.

Liverpool Also Aided.

Liverpool fought desperately TO pre-
vent the building Of the canal and the
establishment Of the new port Of Man
chester; but instead Of being injured
by the canal, the business OF Liverpool
has Increased faster than before. Dur
ing the 13 years before the canal was
opened the increase In the harbor re-
ceipts at Liverpool was only $4,000;
In the same length OF time after It
was opened the increase was 1885,
900. The 100000 tons Of traffic at
Manchester have not been stolen from
Liverpool, they have been created by
the canal.
Frankfort, Germany. before the
River Main was improved was not q
dying city but was decidedly stagnant.
Mannheim and Mayence on the Rhine.
which had been improved, were grow
ing rapidly. while Frankfort was grow
ing very little. AZ soon as the canal
txation OF the river was finished. which
was in 1885. the city began to grow
and has kept on growing ever since.
The population, which was 154, 900 In
1855. has increased to 229, 900 in 1895,
to 335, 900 in 1905. and is probably
more than 100000 now. Evidently the
people Of Frankfort expect their city

over $1.500.000 on a harbor when the
river was nrst improved and are
hard at work right now building Q
new and much larger harbor at q cost
OF ST 500. 900. Just az in the case OF
Manchester, the benefit was not Con.
