PARIS, Jan. 2e.-Authorities to-
day are considering a plan for the
construction Of a great horseshoe
shaped canal to carry off the flood

they are rejoicing In a frenzy Of

THE cowNIE SUCCESSION.
ICedar Rapids Gazette

The successor to John CoWnie on the
board of control, will probably be
named within a few days CoWnie's
term expires next month, and it may
be taken for granted that Governor
Carroll will lose no time in selecting
a successor whose name is not CoWnie.
The governor is not particularly
friendly to the rugged, plain spoken
Scotchman. Who will get the appoint
ment is not known. The place was
offered to Senator HamniH. of Britt,
but Mr.. FIammill declined. The friends
of Mr.. Treat. at present secretary of
the board, are very active. Mr.. Treats
intimate knowledge of the work is said
10 render him formidable candidate.
Hon. E. r. Moore. of Cedar Rapids. has
been mentioned as possibility. That
he would be an excellent man for the
place no one doubts. But the governor
will probably put an end to the gossip
soon.
Some people will be glad when Cow
ME is let out. He is offensive to some
interests. tho the cause of his often
siveness does not reflect on Mr.. Cownie.
He has given the state splendid ser
vice He has his own ideas-to some
people they look like peculiarities-but
his service on the board has undoubt-
edly been of inestimable value to the
state John CoUnia will retire with
the state his debtor.

tinues in the press.
Prominent financiers have criticized
the Jaw as BLOW to the states devel-
opme asserting that it prevents in
terurban railway construction Assum-
ing that such a railroad should be pro-
iected now, the promoters first would
have to arrange to get the money. They
would have TO agree to issue their
bonds below par, and to give stock in
the CORPORATION to the underwriters as
bonus. for furnishing the money with
which to build the line. This Is the
universal practice. Wall street is the
money center of the country and Wall
street will not furnish money except on
these terms Iowa of itself would be
powerless to change the practice.
Again, opponents Of the law argue
new corporation is not assured profit.
The purchaser of stock or bonds buys
a hazard with them. He is unwilling to
take the stock or bonds under par and
take his chances. If he had to pay
par, he would invest in securities OF
whose worth there was no question.

keeoino up the Milk Flow.

On many farms feed gets scarce dur
ing the closing weeks of the winter. On
many more the feed supply is cut down
because the owners feel that their
cows are not giving enoug milk to
make it profitable to feed grain. The
result is the same in both cases. The
supply Of roughage is usually sufficient,
such as it is, but too often it consists
of only prairie hay. If little clover
was raised it was fed while the cows
were doing their best during the early
part of the winter. II corn fodder was
supplied it has either been fed or is
covered UP in the field. If a few roots
were raised they were converted into
product long ago. OF course the man
with silo is more fortunate, but this
